A Short Guide to Writing about Film (Short Guides Series) 8 reviews
Timothy Corrigan
Longman, 2006
I've looked at clouds from both sides now
One thing I can say is I enjoy a good film. O.K. if it moves I'll watch it. But until I read this book I really was just looking with out seeing.
It is nice to have this guide confirm what one knows as common sense. Probably because the guide is designed to take you from ground zero to a level of appreciation and allow you to convey your opinion intelligently.
If you have an earlier edition ...

Tall, Dark & Hungry (Argeneau Vampires, Book 4)39 reviews
Lynsay Sands
Love Spell, 2004
I love Lynsay!!
Well, Sands didn't disappoint. When I am in the mood for some hot and steamy romance, I go grab my Argeneau series from my bookshelf. This is the story about one of the Argeneau brothers, Bastien.
The story was funny and you find yourself laughing out loud every now and then as a new scene unfolds.
Can't wait to read Argeneau books number 10 and 11. Sands, in her website, mentioned ...

great for a new vegan
I'm a new vegan who's been cooking conventionally for over 40 years and needed help. I'm a good cook but I needed ideas and inspiration to make meals for my family every night without using meat. In the 4 weeks I've been a vegan I have made many of the recipes in this book and they've gone over great with my husband (and with me). They were easy, not too time consuming and helped me be a vegan ...

American Cinema/American Culture 5 reviews
John Belton
McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages, 2004
A very useful beginners guide to American film.
Years ago I took an intro-level film class at a community college. This was the text for the class. It was accompanied (at least in my class) by a PBS video series that combined film clips with interviews and historical information. Going into the class I had little more than a passing interest in film and film history. But after taking that class, my passion for film has grown exponentially with ...

Hungry for Paris: The Ultimate Guide to the City's 102 Best Restaurants19 reviews
Alexander Lobrano
Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2008
A Wonderful Guide and a Charming Read
Having just returned from Paris, I highly recommend HUNGRY FOR PARIS as a superb source of restaurant information and an absolutely wonderful read. What I especially loved about this book is that it offers a brilliantly chosen selection of restaurants for every possible occasion and pocketbook; guidebooks that offer 500 or 1000 restaurants are of no use to me--how do I know which ones are really ...

A Great Learning Tool
I just finished a Research Methods in Psychology class that used this text. Overall, I thought this book was excellent. All the topics discussed are well organized and explained with many helpful examples. The writing is clear and generally easy to understand.

Awesome!
This is a fun book and an entertaining story. It's also a good way to teach multiple ways to add to a number and multiple ways to represent a number (2 groups of 25 are equal to 5 groups of 20, both represent 100.) Really awesome book for elementary math teachers.

My grandchildren love this story! The larger format board book is very colorful and easy for little hands to manage. I found it a real bonus to hear the author, Eric Carle, read his own work and the kids can listen and read along.

Good Textbook, clear and concise. However, for an advanced student who needs or wants to learn advanced explanations refer to another textbook on occasion. I use this as a reference on occasion b/c it serves my needs just fine, the SOLUTIONS/STUDY Guide manual is a must and gives very detailed explanations of the problems in the text, the manual is EXCELLENT. The strong point of this book are ...
