As a text

1 review
Campbell R. McConnell, Stanley L. Brue, ...

McGraw-Hill/Irwin, 2005

Check the version information
If you are purchasing this book for a course, check the course requirements closely. I bought this book and later found out that the one being used for my course was one version newer. Apparently these are updated yearly, a few words added here or there and blam, last years is obsolete. Since I needed the accompanying disc for the online course (verifies) I had to purchase another book.

The Historian's Toolbox: A Student's Guide to the Theory and Craft of History

3 reviews
Robert C. Williams

M.E. Sharpe, 2007

Grand theory and nuts-and-bolts
Williams gives instructors and students of history two books in one. Part one is a quick look at some of the big ideas and controversies of the profession. These short chapters on such topics as metahistory and anti-history should provide great fodder for class discussions. Part two on "the tools of history" offers good guidance on researching, writing, and thinking about history. Again, short, ...

Stanley J. Grenz, John B., Jr. Cobb, ...

Westminster, 2003

Excellent overview of contemporary theology
As a seminary student who read this book over the summer, not for a class, but just to keep up my theological "chops," I wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone wanting to explore different facets of theology from a multitude of viewpoints. The best use of this book is to read the introductions and the essays, and note the authors and issues of interest for future exploration. Because of the ...

The Benchley Roundup: A Selection by Nathaniel Benchley of his Favorites

6 reviews
Robert C. Benchley

University Of Chicago Press, 2001

A genuinely great American humorist
I only found out about Benchley from a short book on Algonquin Round table quotes but I'm very thankful for it--it's shameful that Benchley has basically been forgotten. Why on earth should such a gifted, briliant comic writer be so little known nowadays? There's simply no reason I can think of. He's just as good as Perelman or Thurber, and he deserves much wider reading. This anthology is a ...

Foundations for Osteopathic Medicine

2 reviews

Williams & Wilkins, 1997

Great for beginning and experienced osteopaths.
This is the long awaited basic textbook for osteopathic medicine. It is surprisingly complete, covering philosophy, history, research, and manipulative techniques. The beginning osteopathic student may find it most useful for its practical discussion on the techniques--high velocity, myofascial release, etc. I believe it is also helpful in standardizing our terminology, which will make it ...

Horace Greeley: Champion of American Freedom

2 reviews
Robert C. Williams

NYU Press, 2006

Outstanding Book On A Forgotten Man
Robert C. Williams' "Horace Greeley" is an engaging and very readable historical narrative that is as much about the times and tribulations of mid-nineteenth century America as it is about its underappreciated subject, Horace Greeley. This book will appeal to anyone interested in pre-Civil War America. The decades culminating in the Civil War were extremely turbulent as the nation searched its ...

Evidence: Cases and Materials (Miscellaneous)

2 reviews
Kenneth S. Broun, Robert P. Mosteller, ...

West Group Publishing, 2002

Comprehensive casebook by an expert
I was in Prof. Broun's first class at UNC Law that used the 7th ed. of this casebook. It is probably the most comprehensive casebook I have encountered in law school, but it does not have much explanatory text accompanying the main cases and subsequent notes. If you have Broun (or Mosteller at Duke Law) as a teacher, then you will get the necessary explanation in class. If not, then I suggest ...
