Great reference book
Rules for Bus. Writers is an excellent quick reference to keep handy at your desk. Plenty of material for beginners as well as advanced writers. I liked the quick tips and good resources. I'd rate it "concise and helpful plus very easy to use" - it's a short and to the point guide. You don't have to wade through long passages of chitchat and padding to get the help you need. Highly recommend ...

Male "victim" is obviously a perpetrator
Anyone with real experience and knowledge in the realm of domestic violence can clearly see that Bancroft is on target. He is one of the few authors who truly understands the dynamics of abuse and can accurately assess those who are truly abusers ... many of whom call themselves the "victims." There are definitive signs of men who abuse, though they work so hard to hide it that they get angry ...

Great Little Book for Any Paper
I recommend this book for any college student struggling with their papers. I love this book so much I decided to not sell it once the semester finished. It is small and compact enough to stick in in a folder, and it really can be beat up a few times and still hold well. I had an English class where the teacher was a Grammar Nazi and this little book helped me get an A!

The information is easy to reference and understand. It covers everything from spelling, when a colon or hyphen is appropriate, verbs and sentence structure, to how to write research paper beginning to end. I highly recommend it for students ...

Comprehensive and Useful
I read "Cognitive Science An Introduction to the Study of Mind" not for a course requirement, but because I was interested in the topic. The book provided a comprehensive and readable account of this new field. It explained ideas in a way that I could follow, not having had any specialized training in the different areas. The figures effectively broke up the text and helped to explain and expand ...

Thorough procedure for academic and personal research
As a teacher of writing at the college level, I would recommend this book for students who are frightened of required research writing. In fact, each section has the proverbial "panic button" at its end. I intend to purchase a copy for my high school senior to take to college next year.
