Looking at Movies: An Introduction to Film, Second Edition ( Set with DVD)2 reviews
Richard Barsam

W. W. Norton, 2006

Excellent for a Student
I bought this book my sophomore year in college. I was enrolled in a class that had the most boring professor who didn't give any insight into film at all. He just sat back and popped in a movie and left the room. To purchase the text was optionial, and since I am very into film I decided to purchase it. Currently I am a junior at UB in Buffalo, and earning my BA in Film Studies and theory, with ...
  
  











  



  
Looking for Alaska79 reviews
John Green

Puffin, 2008

Greatest Book~*~* MUST READ
Looking for Alaska by John Green, is an amazing book. I was a little apprehensive about reading it with my 10th graders, but they immediately fell in love with the book. For some of them, this was the first book they've ever finished, and at age 15-16 I think that speaks for itself. You get so wrapped up in this book, you laugh, you cry, and you look at your own life. As soon as I ...
  
  











  



  
Looking Backward from 2000 to 188743 reviews
Edward Bellamy

BiblioBazaar, 2007

Soviet Style Propaganda at its Best
... and yes the rosebush of man was indeed transplanted into that fantastic utopia delineated by Bellamy, and that land was called Russia, where the rosebush of the bog, which had lived since the beginning of time, was thenceforth dead in a space of less than 75 years.

Looking At Philosophy: The Unbearable Heaviness of Philosophy Made Lighter18 reviews
Donald Palmer

McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages, 2005

Philosophy made easy...
I bought this book for my Philosophy 101 class. I tried to sell it back but the bookstore wouldn't let me. Although I hated the idea that I wouldn't be getting my 30 bucks back, little did I know that this book would serve as an important tool for my Literary/Criticism class (which I am currently taking). It definitely clarifies complicated theories with a touch of humor added to the ...
  
  











  



  
Looking For Trouble: Adventures in a Broken World8 reviews
Ralph Peters

Stackpole Books, 2008

A great adventure from a master story-teller
Ralph Peter's book should be required reading for every Marxism-besotted and multiculturalism-drunk humanities department in the United States. He stumbled upon an elemental truth in a youthful visit to Tito's Yugoslavia with its communism-lite: "There was nothing like firsthand exposure to the dialectical materialism to teach that the dialectic rarely delivered the material. Leftist rhetoric ...
  
  











  



  
The Looking Glass Wars (The Looking Glass Wars Trilogy)76 reviews
Frank Beddor

Puffin, 2007

Not for kids
I personally loved it, but this is NOT a childrens book. My husband bought it for our son (10) for Christmas (without looking at it very closely). Our son only made it through a few pages, and it's not 'cause the book was too advanced (he's read all the Harry Potters). I picked it up last week and really enjoyed the "Alice" twist, but understood why my son didn't like it. It's contains ...

Looking Out, Looking In7 reviews
Ronald B. Adler, Russell F. Proctor II

Wadsworth Publishing, 2006

A manual for all
I will suggest this manual to every couple, especially the newly wed, even before suggesting any "how to ..my babie". I wish I had this book 40 years ago, most of my troubles would have never come. Many manuals out there, such "How to satisfy your woman/man" and such are just the mechanics of human relation, this is its soul. Matter of fact I will bring a copy to Italy next May to two newly wed ...
  
  











  



  
Looking at Movies: An Introduction to Film, Second Edition (with DVD and Writing about Movies Booklet)5 reviews
Richard Barsam

W. W. Norton, 2006

a very good and comprehensive introductory book
Just got this book and found it to be very well structured, with a comprehensive yet easy to understand language that made the material very compelling. It comes with a cd rom with film clips and it also offers website interactivity that supports and expands on the material covered by the book. The layout is very sleek and although a bit pricey ($ 70), this is what college textbooks go for now, ...

Looking for Salvation at the Dairy Queen: A Novel16 reviews
Susan Gregg Gilmore

Shaye Areheart Books, 2008

Great Story!
What a great story! Enjoyed reading about Catherine Grace and all her family. Gloria Jean is a fun character and someone a reader can take to heart because she isn't perfect. I sat next to the author, Susan Gregg Gilmore at a bookfair in Lexington, KY and it was fun watching how the title of her book drew people to her table. The story inside the book lived up to the draw of the title. It's ...

I'm Looking Through You: Growing Up Haunted: A Memoir12 reviews
Jennifer Finney Boylan

Broadway, 2008

a delightful find
I didn't know jack (or jill) about Jennifer Finney Boylan when I picked up this book. I was only interested because it was described as a "growing up in a haunted house" memoir, and I can't get enough of the paranormal. Imagine my surprise when a few pages in I discover that Jenny was formerly Jimmy. At first I was annoyed at what I perceived as falst advertising. But in no time I found ...

Who You Are When No One's Looking: Choosing Consistency, Resisting Compromise11 reviews
Bill Hybels

InterVarsity Press, 1987

Excellent Book on Christian Character!
I have never been disappointed with a book by Bill Hybels. This latest read is certainly no exception. Hybels addresses eight qualities of Christian character: courage, discipline, vision, endurance, tender love, tough love, sacrificial love, and radical love. He opens and closes his work by stressing the importance of having the character that only Jesus Christ can produce. Hybels is ...

Thomas L. Good, Jere E. Brophy

Great for school administrators
I have used this book both as a college lecturer and as a public school principal/administrator. It ties research directly into classroom practice and provides numerous methods and ideas for having instructional conversations with teachers.
