An outstandingly good quality book, both in content and in the book itself. Very satisfied.

Classical Mythology

8 reviews
Mark P. O. Morford, Robert J. Lenardon

Oxford University Press, USA, 2006

thru a distant lens
This well honed 8th edition is an entrancing and beautiful description of the mythology of ancient Greece and Rome. The emphasis is Greece, naturally, since the Romans based so much of their beliefs on the Greeks. No prior knowledge of the subject is assumed. But the book is not some simple entry level exposition, like some freshman texts. Instead, Morford goes into a fair amount of detail ...

Classical Mechanics

8 reviews
John R. Taylor

University Science Books, 2005

Clear, thorough, and enjoyable
"Classical mechanics" is a brilliant book, certainly one of the very best at this level. The author doesn't save space when a thorough introduction to a topic or problem is needed. Very often an intuitive explanation is given first, followed by a formal exposition, and then comes the real gem - a qualitative discussion of the mathematical results which brings physics again in the picture with ...

Anthology Of Classical Myth: Primary Sources in Translation : with Additional Translations by Other Scholars ...

2 reviews

Hackett Publishing Company, 2004

A Must Have for Myth-Focused Folks!
Finally! There has been such need for a work like this and the editors/translators have done a fine job indeed. I teach live, online courses on mythology at The Lukeion Project and this year I will be developing a way to make this a required purchase for the fall 2008 session. Everything I need to teach a high quality course in mythology is availabe here (with the addition of my favorite ...

Classical Drawing Atelier: A Contemporary Guide to Traditional Studio Practice

28 reviews
Juliette Aristides

Watson-Guptill, 2006

Beautiful Book
I had to buy this for my Life drawing class, but I'm not going to sell it back to my school. This book is great. Though it is a bit repetitive, it helps break down drawing skills. After reading this book, I drew a portrait that sold for over $100. It also has some beautiful pictures in it, so now my mother has stolen it, to have on her coffee table....

Classical Mythology: Images and Insights

8 reviews
Stephen Harris, Gloria Platzner

McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages, 2007

Lots of primary texts to go with the images & insights
I managed to make it all the way to the 21st century before I actually made my students buy a single textbook that cost this much, but after my first semester of using the Fourth Edition of "Classical Mythology: Images & Insights" by Stephen L. Harris and Gloria Platzner I do not have any major regrets. In the past I have liked to rely mainly on primary texts, such as Homer's "Iliad" and a ...

Classical Dynamics of Particles and Systems

50 reviews
Stephen T. Thornton, Jerry B. Marion

Brooks Cole, 2003

Fantastic Textbook
I really like this book a lot. I never went to class for both quarters of my upper-division undergraduate mechanics class, and instead read Thornton and Marion religiously. I've heard friends express their dislike for it, but I think it is very clear and provides excellent perspective and insight. It is very mathematically rigorous, which I appreciate but others may not. The proofs given are ...

Technical Manual and Dictionary of Classical Ballet (Dover Books on Dance)

23 reviews
Gail Grant

Dover Publications, 1982

Excellent resource for a more experienced ballet dancer or ballet teacher
This book best serves those who have had enough experience with ballet to be able to understand the terms within the definitions themselves. Almost all ballet terms in this book contain other ballet terms within the definitions, and pictures are minimal (positions of the feet/arms, body in space, head, stage terms). If the dancer is not familiar enough with ballet terms, technique, and form, then ...

Vocabulary from Classical Roots - A

2 reviews
Nancy Fifer, Norma Fifer

Educators Pub Service, 1998

Exceptional Vocabulary Building Tool
As a tutor for language arts, I am always looking for better tools to help students build word power. This series is wonderful. It's well organized and teaches roots and related words together. The exercises are sufficiently challenging to keep even advanced students interested.

Classical Music for Dummies

David Pogue, Scott Speck

classical music appreciation and theory
This book is incredibly well written. It was totally absorbing, entertaining and informative. By the time I finished it, I felt like I had earned a degree in classical music appreciation and another in music theory.

The Classical Language of Architecture

3 reviews
John Summerson

The MIT Press, 1966

Do you like looking at buildings?
I was introduced to this classic work in a course on Michelangelo by John Shearman at Harvard, and I'm writing this review because I'm convinced this book deserves wider distribution. It's essentially an illustrated compilation of a series of lectures Summerson gave at university in England. The topic: the 'language' of architecture through the ages. Ever look at white marble columns, or that ...

Elementary Classical Analysis

17 reviews
Jerrold E. Marsden, Michael J. Hoffman

W. H. Freeman, 1993

best suited for the best students
Many other reviewers have panned this book. The overall sentiment seems to be that the book is too difficult to follow. Perhaps for them. And, granted, perhaps this is so for many readers. But some students, who are probably majoring in maths or physics and who might be amongst the top in their classes, are likely to appreciate the book. It is a rigorous explanation of classical analysis. ...

Readings in Classical Chinese Philosophy

3 reviews

Hackett Publishing Company, 2006

An Excellent Anthology!
Being interested in Chinese philosophy, I recently purchased this anthology, edited by Drs. P. J. Ivanhoe and Bryan W. Van Norden, which contains excellent translations of the selections of seven classical Chinese thinkers: Mozi, Han Feizi, Kongzi, Xunzi, Mengzi, Laozi, and Zhuangzi. Despite being a beginner when it comes to Chinese philosophy, I find all the translations to be very readable and ...

Classical Electrodynamics Third Edition

John David Jackson

Wiley, 1998

I love this book!
This book is tough and the problems can be a 'nightmare', but it is a great book. I am a graduate student in physics and I just love how it goes into so many aspects of Electrodynamics and in detail.

Introduction to Classical and Modern Test Theory

2 reviews
Linda Crocker, James Algina

Wadsworth Pub Co, 2006

Simply a great book
I, too, studied measurement theory using Crocker & Algina's work as the textbook some years ago. The authors have done an admirable job in presenting the information necessary for a solid foundation of the topic covered, while at the same time writing in such a manner as to make it readily accessible. Personally, the sections on standard setting and bias were particularly lucid and interesting. ...

Art and Experience in Classical Greece

4 reviews
Jerome Jordan Pollitt

Cambridge University Press, 1972

A superb book and a classic in its own right
Pollitt's book is one of those rare pieces of writing that rewards you with fresh insight each and every time you pick it up. It is beautifully and sensitively written, and manages to breathe remarkable life into the civilization of ancient Greece. This is a wonderful way to prepare for a trip to Greece--it will only make your travels even more rewarding. This is history at its best.
