Organizational Behavior (13th Edition)

4 reviews
Stephen P. Robbins, Timothy A. Judge

Prentice Hall, 2008

Organizational Behavior
The book has great points and is in a sensible format. It has little bits of information within the text and provides definitions at the bottom of the corresponding pages -- that's a big help.

Supreme Courtship

26 reviews
Christopher Buckley

Twelve, 2008

Supreme Authorship
If you were looking for a continuation of the great man, William F. Jr., who passed away not so long ago, in the form of his brilliant son, Christopher Buckley, you would not be dissapointed. But you would get something more--while no one could accuse William F. Buckley of lacking an "edge," Christopher exceeds the understatement and throttling humor of his father, with the bright, realistic, ...

How Judges Think

9 reviews
Richard A. Posner

Harvard University Press, 2008

Brlliant and fun analysis of how judges actually decide cases
This man is *cold*. Fortunately for the reader, it is this icy wit that makes reading Posner's books such a joy. Watch how he rips into inconsistencies: 'In discussing a case that invalidated the exclusion of homosexuals from the military, Beatty approvingly remarks that the court "noted the lack of `concrete' and `actual or significant' evidence that allowing gay men to enlist in the armed ...

Making Your Case: The Art of Persuading Judges

33 reviews
Antonin Scalia, Bryan A. Garner

Thomson West, 2008

The Bible of Brief Writing
I'll be brief (no pun intended). If you are a lawyer or law student who wants to write better and more persuasive briefs - buy or borrow this book! I've completely changed my legal writing style after reading Judge Scalia and Garner's book.

Nineteen Minutes: A novel

449 reviews

Atria Books, 2007

wow
i ended up reading this shortly after a school shooting had just taken place. the compassion that picoult takes when fleshing out the characters and never telling you what is right and wrong, but instead letting you decide for yourself is one of my favorite trademarks of a picoult book.

My Grandfather's Son: A Memoir

304 reviews
Clarence Thomas

Harper, 2007

Honesty AND readability in a memoir?
Clarence Thomas is a man who has succeeded because of his intellect, astonishing work ethic, persistence, drive, and faith. In his memoir, My Grandfather's Son, he details the life that these qualities created. The fact that he seems to not be bitter is testament to his personal faith and integrity. I picked up the book knowing very little about Thomas' life before the infamous confirmation ...

Happy Hour Is for Amateurs: A Lost Decade in the World's Worst Profession

49 reviews
Philadelphia Lawyer

William Morrow, 2008

Excellent storytelling
I hate to piggyback on another review, but Charles B Fehr really nails this book. Those who dislike it seem to be expecting a book about the legal profession, when in fact it's simply about him. He just happens to be stuck in the legal profession, but one could easily swap in investment banking or any other office job and have the same experience. Anyone who has ever worked in an office can ...

The Politically Incorrect Guide(tm) to the Constitution (Politically Incorrect Guides)

38 reviews
Kevin R. C. Gutzman

Regnery Publishing, Inc., 2007

Absolutely Fascinating
I had just read The Revolution by Ron Paul when I saw this book. Interested in learning more about the Constitution I thought it looked promising. I had no idea what a treat I was in for. I couldn't put it down. Kevin Gutzman masterfully lays out how the constitution has been used and abused to achieve political ends that were not intended to be achieved. And the abuses started happening ...

Organizational Behavior, 12th Edition (Book & CD-ROM)

4 reviews
Stephen P. Robbins, Tim A. Judge

Prentice Hall, 2007

Organizational Behavior
This was my first experience ordering a College Textbook on Amazon. I ordered a brand new book and CD and was very pleased to receive my order in time for my class. Most important I was able buy a brand new textbook at a used textbook price. I liked being able to provide my credit card information to an Amazon rep by phone rather than send it over the Internet. I plan to use Amazon again ...

Ted Sorensen's 2008 Convention Speech
Ted Sorensen's 2008 Convention Speech Tuesday, August 26, 2008 at 03:20 PM "In my more than 50 years of national conventions, this is one of the most important. Our 8 year national nightmare of mendacity, mediocrity and economic misery--with millions of Americans losing their jobs, their savings, their homes and their hopes--will soon end with the election of Barack Obama. I have long ...

Don't Pee on My Leg and Tell Me It's Raining: America's Toughest Family Court Judge Speaks Out

69 reviews
Judy Sheindlin

Harper Paperbacks, 1997

Brutally Honest!
I just finished reading this book and it was amazing! I couldn't put it down. Judge Judy is so honest and has many incredible positions on the justice system that each state should take note. I personally agree with her on all of her stances toward welfare, incarceration, and law in general. A must read for all politicians!

Death's Half Acre

15 reviews
Margaret Maron

Grand Central Publishing, 2008

One of the best in the series
Once again, Margaret Maron writes a compelling mystery with all the right ingredients: a strong believable heroine, a suspenseful plot, a strong sense of place and even a few touches of humor. Luckily I set aside some time on a rainy weekend. It's not a book I can put down easily. Fans of Deborah Knott will be relieved to find that Deborah's marriage has not weakened the series. We don't get ...

Great!
They were a great seller to deal with! I got my book in a short amount of time and it was in excellent condition. I hope I get to buy from them in the future!

One L: The Turbulent True Story of a First Year at Harvard Law School

136 reviews
Scott Turow

Grand Central Publishing, 1997

An important book to read
First of all Scott Turow writes better than Saul Bellow. I just wanted to get that thought out in the open. Secondly the character of Rudolph Perini is interesting as everyone has already commented, but I would like to bring your attention to one specific detail of the Socratic Method (i.e. why-why-why questions about court cases that lead to deducing legal principles) Perini used in the ...

A Piece of Cake: A Memoir

Cupcake Brown

Three Rivers Press, 2007

Very good book!
I really enjoyed this book. I could not put it down. I found it to be a very honest, emotional, and raw account of her life. I am just amazed at how she could overcome all of the things that she went through. Her story could certainly become a best selling movie!! The best book I read in a long time.

Organizational Behavior (12th Edition)

4 reviews
Stephen P. Robbins, Tim A. Judge

Prentice Hall, 2006

Comprehensive book!
I'm using this book for a graduate course of Individual and Group Behavior. The book is big (which reminds me of a elementary text book) but the content is worth the space. Each chapter incorporates current, real world examples, useful diagrams, a section of "Point/Counterpoint" discussing the chapter topics, and concludes with "Questions for Review", "Questions for Critical Thinking", "Team ...

Staffing Organizations

Herbert G Heneman III, Timothy A Judge

McGraw-Hill/Irwin, 2008

A Solid Human Resources Recruitment and Staffing Guide
As a human resources professional and a graduate student at Troy State University, I found this text to be very insightful in all aspects of researching, designing, planning, and implementing various internal and external staffing strategies, policies, procedures, and practices. This text is definitely an invaluable reference book that should be a part of any human resources professional's ...

Judge & Jury

138 reviews
James Patterson, Andrew Gross, 2006

Judge & Jury
The audio book shipped fast and was packaged very well. The prices are always good at Amazon also. I will continue buying products from Amazon. The book itself was great. I already had it in hardback but bought the audio for my husband to listen to while traveling back and forth to work. Patterson usually comes out with great books and this one was no exception. When I started reading, I ...
