10 reviews

Delta, 1996

Worth every penny
This book is a must-have for teachers, librarians, and parents who want a culturally literate child. As a teacher, I like the Core Knowledge Series by the same author. This book is a comprehensive listing of resources for every age and every subject. As parents, we can't rely on any school to teach our child all they need to know and we are ultimately responsible for their education. Schools ...

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2007

Classic music lovers' sourcebook gets better and better
After purchasing The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings: Eighth Edition (Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings) and being very happy with it, this was an obvious choice for me to start getting a handle on my classical music collection. The book is well organized and attempts to be comprehensive, but given the expanse of classical music available, invariably some of your personal favorite recordings will ...

Great review of general concepts
I used this book to study for the Here's to Your Health DANTE exam. It was an excellent study guide and hit on each and every subject on the test. The practice tests in the back of the book were very helpful. I would recommend this text to anyone studying for a proficiency exam.

Ramblings of an English major...
I purchased this book during my senior year in high school (2003-2004). Being a voracious read since my youth, I was always trying to find lists of "great" books to read. I would peruse Amazon, Google, and whatever else in an attempt to find good advice on what to read. That fateful day, I stumbled across this book while browsing Amazon. It doesn't take a literary genius to know to read the ...

Nancy Pearl

Sasquatch Books, 2003

To be skimmed - eclectic but certainly not all- inclusive
I love books about books. Nancy Pearl also loves books and books about books, and compiles here a long list of favorites. She provides short- summaries of the books. She has a long list of categories in which she does this, but many of the categories I most care about including those in the realm of politics, religion, philosophy, poetry are not listed at all. She has a broad taste but to my mind ...

The mix is eclectic, including modern authors, such as Peter Senge and Peter Drucker, as well as historical writers, such as Sun Tzu, Carl von Clausewitz and John Stuart Mill. Probably someone will complain that this is just another `Cliff Notes' of business books, but it provides an interesting history of attitudes ...
