Second Foundation (Foundation Novels) 61 reviews
Isaac Asimov
Spectra, 2008
Thinking man's Foundation novel
I found Second Foundation to be the best in the series thus far. Both halves of the novel have so many twists and turns you wouldn't expect, I would be impressed by anyone who can figure out the true story before it comes to light. This book is on par with mystery and double/triple-spy stories. I hope the remaining books in the series are as complex!
(Books in the series to read before this ...

True Classic
I first read this in the early 80's when I was a teen, and I was blown away by the economic theory. I just reread it, great short story's. The story of the galactic empire is very interesting.

Foundations of Nursing in the Community - Text with Real World Community Health Nursing Package 2 reviews
Marcia Stanhope, Patty J. Hale
Mosby, 2005
Average nursing textbook
This textbook seems to be on par with the other texts I have had to purchase for nursing school. Nothing incredibly wonderful in terms of organization or content. Seems repetitive in places. Relatively well written in terms of syntax and vocabulary choice. I was able to read through the chapters without having to stop and disseminate what the authors were trying to say, so that was definitely ...

Saunders, 2006
Much Improved Fifth Edition.
Any book of thys type that has gone through five editions has to have something going for it, and This book has many. Perhaps the most important is the writing style which is as light and casual as it can be considering the subject. The goal is, of course, to prepare the student for a career. The book combined instructional material with case histories that illustrate how a particular case, ...

Foundations of Clinical Research: Applications to Practice (3rd Edition) (Foundations Of Clinical Research)6 reviews
Leslie Gross Portney, Mary P. Watkins
Prentice Hall, 2008
Practical, and clearly written
Although I have used this text as a reference (vs. reading it all the way through, or for a class) I have found myself returning to it often. In fact, I purchased it only because I had started to wear out the copy I had borrowed from a friend...and she was missing it because she used it frequently, too. The best aspect of this text is the way the authors use examples relevant to clinical research ...

Foundations of Library and Information Science 20 reviews
Richard Rubin
Neal-Schuman Publishers, 2004
Text for Library Science
This book was used as the text for a class in library science. It is a very good introduction to the subject and very readable. Anyone interested in studying information or library science might want to check this out to get an overview. It deals with current issues, but it is a foundational text, so the discussions on marketing and Web 2.0 are just mentioned.

Foundations of Education2 reviews
Allan C. Ornstein
Houghton Mifflin Company, 2005
A Classic on its Subject
This is a very good, probably the best textbook available in the U.S. regarding the topic of history and philosophy of education, intended for undergraduate students. The authors did minor updateds to the previous edition. Since there has been little change as to history and philosophy of education in the last few years, you do not have to buy the last edition unless your instructor requires ...

Forward the Foundation (Foundation Novels)53 reviews
Isaac Asimov
Spectra, 1994
Best outside of the original trilogy
I am a huge Asimov fan, but I have always been dissapointed by his later fiction, which never seems to have the life and tight plotting that his earlier stuff does. That is, untll AI read Forward the Foundation. Returning to the style of the original books, Forward the Foundation is a series of short stories, each separated by ten years, rather than a single narrative. And much like in the ...

Foundation and Empire (Foundation Novels)80 reviews
Isaac Asimov
Spectra, 2008
A classic tale of sci fi
"Foundation and Empire," the second in a trilogy of classic science fiction novels by Isaac Asimov, is a must read for historians of science fiction. For those who like science fiction itself, this volume is also valuable. Asimov can madden, especially in his early novels, but his imagination is wonderful. His strength is conceptualizing systems (whether empires or cultures) and he often plays ...

Philosophical Foundations of Education (8th Edition)1 review
Howard A. Ozmon, Samuel M. Craver
Prentice Hall, 2007
Excellent basic text for undergraduate ed/phil courses.
I teach an entry-level undergraduate course in educational philosophy. My first year students needed a basic text to structure the course, yet it was important to me that the students read WHAT the philosphers had to say rather than just reading ABOUT them. This volume enables the students to do just that -- it contains primary source material in the form of selected essays by leading ...

Foundations in Microbiology3 reviews

Textbook
Decent text, helpful images...
I bought this book for a microbiology class-- note to future students: just buy an older edition. they don't change too much and spending $$$ on a new hardcover current edition for ONE semester of college isn't worth it.

Foundations of Sport and Exercise Psychology2 reviews
Robert S. Weinberg, Daniel Gould
Human Kinetics Publishers, 2005
Excellent undergraduate sport psychology textbook!
I used this book in my undergraduate and on-line graduate course in sport psychology since the first edition. This text does a good job of explaining theories and and describing sport psychology applications. Weinberg and Gould have developed a well organized, resourceful, and easy-to-read book that my students have enjoyed reading. College professors, this book has excellent ancillary materials.

Nursing Student Review
This is the best book we've had in my RN, BSN program so far. The content is very easy to read. The sentences are kept short and to the point. The content is repeated over and over in different places in the chapters as well as throughout the book, making it easier to remember the main points. The summaries at the end of each chapter really focus on the main points and great for last ...

Foundations of Bilingual Education And Bilingualism (Bilingual Education and Bilingualism)2 reviews
Colin Baker
Multilingual Matters Limited, 2006
A vast comprehensive overview of bilingualism
Colin Baker draws from a vast well of resources. The Bibliography spans about 40 pages alone. I am positive that this book will stand as the 'textbook' of blingualism for generations to come. It is an excellent source of information and education.
