Ishmael: An Adventure Of The Mind And Spirit
Ishmael by Daniel Quinn ***** Ishmael is a stunning narrative on the way things came to be. A story of awareness and philosophy; the way things are and the way things could be. A wonderfully heart-warming, and heart-wrenching tale of acceptance and tolerance. Ishmael is a Gorilla, who can communicate with humans. Those who want to communicate with him anyway. Sounds a but Peter Pan I know ...
  
  











  



  
Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood170 reviews
Marjane Satrapi

Pantheon, 2004

Awesome Experience
Although this book is written like a comic book, don't take it lightly. The story is a deep and meaningful one. It is a pretty fast read but not as fast as you'd think...I highly recommend it!

Lynn S Bickley, Peter G Szilagyi

Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2007

Excellent book
The book was true to description- Never used. It still had the CDs in it. The price was excellent ($10.00 for a book that cost $100+) and delivery was fast.
  
  











  



  
The Kite Runner2461 reviews
Khaled Hosseini

Riverhead Trade, 2004

Moving, Very Well Written
I recently started a book club and this was our first pick. It could not have been a better choice. Everyone had it read in plenty of time. No complaints on the choice I made either. This book tells a very emotionally charged story. Once I started reading it, I was constantly stealing time to read, until it was finished. Hope there is a part II.
  
  











  



  
King Leopold's Ghost: A Story of Greed, Terror, and Heroism in Colonial Africa185 reviews
Adam Hochschild

Mariner Books, 1999

Leopold: Evil Genius
I would like to present a review of Adam Hochschild's "King Leopold's Ghost: A Story of Greed, Terror, and Heroism in Colonial Africa" which depicts the ruthlessness and greed of King Leopold in his exploitation of the Congolese. Furthermore, it illustrates the horrors of the rubber trade which spanned nearly thirty years. The author narrates this account of African history particularly well. ...
  
  











  



  
Textbook of Medical Physiology: With STUDENT CONSULT Online Access (Textbook of Medical Physiology)78 reviews
Arthur C. Guyton, John E. Hall

Saunders, 2005

Guyton prepares you for the shelf
I bought both this book and Costanzo for my first year physio class and loved the Guyton book. He explains everything very well so that you understand why systems work the way they do. Costanzo, while easy to read, tends to dumb the information down, and as a result, you end up memorizing facts instead of understanding concepts. At my medical school, we take the shelf as the final, and after ...

In Cold Blood424 reviews
Truman Capote

Vintage, 1994

Amazing story..........
This was an amazing story. I had seen the movie "Capote" and decided that I must read the story myself. It was amazing. Held my interest from page one. I couldn't put it down. It came out in the 50's but is actually timeless. I highly recommend it.
  
  











  



  
Biology54 reviews
Neil A. Campbell, Jane B. Reece

Benjamin Cummings, 2004

Great Book
This book is way more informative than my professor. Also, since introductory biology doesn't change within a couple of years, I'm really glad I saved money and purchased the seventh edition rather than the eighth.
  
  











  



  
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7)3209 reviews
J. K. Rowling

Arthur A. Levine Books, 2007

A superb close to a great journey!
I have loved each page of every book of the Potter saga since I was first introduced to that very special first book some ten years ago. what a remarkable journey it has all been. True, this finale is a bit off the path of the previous books, but just as enjoyable and a very logical conclusion to Harry's path to the gates of adulthod. So thoroughly enjoyed, along with the remarkable and ...

Feminism Is for Everybody: Passionate Politics23 reviews
bell hooks

South End Press, 2000

A Must Have
Im a young feminist and I adore bell hooks. Before reading hooks I was only familiar with one opinion of feminism: the white, upper-middle class, waspy side. Im totally digging reading another side of the story. Hooks' language is accessible but her ideas are complex. She tackles topics that I other authors overlook. By not limiting the scope of the discussion to body image, rape, and compulsory ...
  
  











  



  
Financial Accounting16 reviews
Robert Libby, Patricia Libby, ...

McGraw-Hill/Irwin, 2005

Excellent Introductory text for Accounting
Given how dry a subject Accounting can be (especially for non-Accounting majors) - this book really was fantastic. It serves up excellent examples, has a modern, graphic and splashy style that made it easy to follow along and refer back to key terms, and I liked the tie-ins to business in the general commentary. It's a great text for a self-paced course like an online accounting course offered ...
  
  











  



  
A Pocket Style Manual27 reviews
Diana Hacker

Bedford/St. Martin's, 2003

Great Tool for Your Writing
I am excited to use the MLA tools in this pocket guide for writing my college papers. There is so much in this little book, and was worth ever cent of my purchase. There are lots of little things that students forget like noun/verb agreement, and possession. It is very helpful, and every student should have this!

Psychology in Context (3rd Edition) (MyPsychLab Series)1 review
Stephen M. Kosslyn, Robin S. Rosenberg

Allyn & Bacon, 2006

Excellent Introduction to the Field of Psychology
I had this book as a textbook for my intro to psych class. It is a well written text. Unlike most textbooks, it is not dry or boring. This book uses examples for it's concepts, such as Tiger Wood's golf game and Alice in Wonderland. It also has diagrams, definitions, graphs, tables, and mini-experiments to back up and sum up the text. In short, it is set up well for any type of learner. The text ...
  
  











  



  
Conformity and Conflict: Readings in Cultural Anthropology (12th Edition) (MyAnthroKit Series)6 reviews
James Spradley, David W. McCurdy

Allyn & Bacon, 2006

Excellent collection, a standard in anthro -- and the 12th is DIFFERENT from the11th
I've used this collection off and on for years in teaching Introduction to Cultural Anthropology. It's a great book, a real standard in anthropology. Honestly, I think the relevance and quality of the essays varies from edition to edition. I liked the 11th more than the 12th. Sometimes a 'favorite' essay gets replaced; and then in the next edition it is returned. Go figure. I note that ...

American Psychiatric Association

American Psychiatric Publishing, Inc., 2000

DSM-IV Purchase
Recently misplaced my DSM-IV quick-reference manual and needed one desperately for my work. Ordered from Amazon and had my replacement within a week. This little book is a must when you are working within a tight schedule so I really appreciate having Amazon and its sellers as a resource for replacing hard to find items such as the DSM-IV manual.
  
  











  



  
A Million Little Pieces1826 reviews
James Frey

Anchor, 2005

Put the "controversy" aside, this is an amazing book!
I could care less if James Frey embellished the truth or made the whole story up, the point is the lives described in this book are incredibly relatable and very true to life. If drug addiction is something you've never had to deal with personally or with a close friend or family member consider yourself lucky. It's a long road home and I applaud anyone who can write about it rawly without ...

Ian McEwan

Anchor, 2007

A Writer Learns About Life
There are so many reviews of this book already that I am loathe to add more redundant verbiage to the pile. So I'll just say that this is my third Ian McEwan novel (having read "On Chesil Beach" and "Saturday" before I read this one), and I must say that he is now one of my favorite writers. This book functions on so many levels and in the end is really as much about the craft of writing as ...
