Makers of Modern Strategy from Machiavelli to the Nuclear Age

6 reviews

Princeton University Press, 1986

Makers of Modern Strategy
"Makers of Modern Strategy" is a scholarly collection of high quality papers on strategy since Machiavelli to the present nuclear age. The beauty of the book is that one can focus on the era that one is interested in. There is no need to read the book cover to cover as the various essays are stand alone although they are presented sequentially and related papers are adjacent to each other. I have ...

Fowler's Modern English Usage

20 reviews
R. W. Burchfield

Oxford University Press, USA, 2004

the Best 4 the Best
I've used the first three editions of this book, and find the second edition to be the most useful and interesting. I do not recommend any of this series to the casual English speaker who would only like to avoid glaring grammatical mistakes; there are simpler guides better targeting this. Key to efficiently benefiting from this book is knowing when to consult it. Thus, this book is best ...

The Modern Researcher (with InfoTrac)

6 reviews
Jacques Barzun, Henry F. Graff

Wadsworth Publishing, 2003

Time-tested excellence
This book has guided more Ph.D. theses into successful completion and more decent, serious academic works through research and writing and into print than any other single work available. Those who might not find this book to their liking bring a story to mind about two young people walking through an art gallery and commenting loudly on what they did and did not like. A guard approached ...

A History of Modern Psychology

6 reviews
Duane P. Schultz, Sydney Ellen Schultz

Wadsworth Publishing, 2007

Nice Overview of Psychology's Past, Present, and Future
This book was used for one of my classes this past fall. It is very readable, and all of the names that you learn in psych classes actually become people, characters in the development of this ever-broadening field. I thought it was a great start to get psychology students more interested in the people who came before them.

Modern Chemistry

2 reviews
Raymond E. Davis, Regina Frey, ...

Holt Rinehart and Winston, 2005

GREAT
I thought that this was a great book. I used it for honors chemistry in high school and used the book more than the teacher did because I thought that the book gave some really good examples and lessons, which were completely worked through. This is a great book for people just starting to take chemistry. But beware, a few little topics are passed up, like calculating physical changes.

Brooklyn Modern: Architecture, Interiors & Design
Diana Lind

Rizzoli, 2008

Brooklyn Modern is the first book to explore the connection between Brooklyn’s astounding rebirth and its emerging architecture. As the new cultural heart of New York, Brooklyn has recently attracted many young people interested in creating their own sense of space, as well as in renovating brownstones and townhouses. The results are homes that express the optimism, resourcefulness, and experimentation of many of Brooklyn’s bohemian ...

Psychology Applied to Modern Life: Adjustment in the 21st Century

1 review
Wayne Weiten, Margaret A. Lloyd

Wadsworth Publishing, 2005

Adequate
this was a text book for psychology at Baker College in Port Huron in Chonda Stimer's class. I found it to be the correct book. Beyond that, it has a lot of useful contemporary (post 9/11) information that is quite useful. Be sure to get the workbook as well. As a textbook, it is actually a very interesting book and no sleeper, as so many text's tend to be.

Garner's Modern American Usage

25 reviews
Bryan A. Garner

Oxford University Press, USA, 2003

Layman's Opinion
Being a layman, and not a wordsmith as some of the review-writers here, this will not be an eloquently written review, however the results are the same. I often hear people use words in a way that I believe to be incorrect, for example 'irregardless', but I'm never quite sure. A regular dictionary doesn't usually provide the explanations I'm looking for, and my curiosity goes unanswered. This ...

Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World

114 reviews
Jack Weatherford

Three Rivers Press, 2005

Culture Shock
I never knew how much I didn't know until I read this book. I only read it because of my book group, and everyone in the group was enthusiastic about it. I think that you'll like this book, even if history wasn't your favorite subject, and that you'll learn something from it even if it was. I wish all my history teachers had made this required reading instead of the thick, unreadable surveys ...

A Dictionary of Modern Legal Usage (Oxford Dictionary of Modern Legal Usage)

10 reviews
Bryan A. Garner

Oxford University Press, USA, 2001

Can't Live Without It
As an editor of legal newsletters, I do not know what I would do without this absolutely necessary tool of the trade. Not only do I, a non-attorney, find it indispensible, but my colleagues who are members of the Bar are constantly borrowing my copy "just to check." And whatever they, or I, am checking--it's in there. Garner has a way of condensing solid and often very intricate information into ...

Modern Epidemiology

1 review
Kenneth J Rothman, Sander Greenland, ...

Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2008

As yet, an unparalleled reference on the science of epidemiology
Masterly. Rothman and coworkers' 3rd edition of the classic `Modern Epidemiology' is a landmark step in presenting with cohesiveness and clarity traditional + cutting-edge concepts and methods for observational research (and by extension for experimental research on human subjects as well, since problems like unblinding or loss-to-follow-up may reintroduce bias in clinical trials after ...

Excellent Book
This book is fabulous. Definately the bible of bodybuilding. Book is comprehensive as well, and a good read as well.

The Modern Drunkard

25 reviews
Frank Kelly Rich

Riverhead Trade, 2005

Funny, Entertaining, Easy Read
I'm far from the level of alcoholic that Rich talks about, but alcohol is incorporated into my lifestyle, and I really enjoyed this book. The chapters are fairly short with short paragraphs, and the book altogether moves rather quickly and stays entertaining. As someone who usually gets bored by the end of a book, this was not a problem for me. I would recommend this to anyone who drinks even ...

Modern Recording Techniques, Sixth Edition

23 reviews
David Miles Huber, Robert E. Runstein

Focal Press, 2005

Good Book
The book made it to my house before the day they said it would make it by. The book was like new with no markings or torn pages.

A History of the Modern World

72 reviews
R. R. Palmer, Joel Colton, ...

McGraw-Hill Companies, 2007

Outstanding overview of modern history
I am not exceptionally scholarly, although I would have to say that it takes some scholarly motivation to read over 1000 pages of dense historical writing in one's free time. Yet I found this book, which is often used as a textbook, very easy to read. It doesn't quite read like fiction as some lively historical accounts can, but that would be a difficult task given this broad a subject. ...

Modern Latin America, Sixth Edition

11 reviews
Thomas E. Skidmore, Peter H. Smith

Oxford University Press, USA, 2005

Great introductory look at Latin America
How many North Americans really know what Latin America is like? How many can name more than six countries in the region? The history and politics of the region are rich and complex. Skidmore and Smith make this rich region understandable for a layperson who is not a specialist in the Latin American region. The first two chapters of the book are a general historical overview, beginning with ...

The Search for Modern China

39 reviews
Jonathan D. Spence

W. W. Norton & Company, 1999

timely and important work
The scale of this book is vast, and the scholarly undertaking is impressive. In the modern world with Chinese influence growing all the time an understanding of Chinese history is increasingly important. A must-read! Ian Ruxton, editor of The Diaries of Sir Ernest Satow, British Envoy in Peking (1900-06), Vol. 1 and The Semi-Official Letters of British Envoy Sir Ernest Satow from Japan and ...

The Modern Con Man: How to Get Something for Nothing

5 reviews
Todd Robbins

Bloomsbury USA, 2008

Fun for young and old
So long as you don't make these swindles a part of your income stream, this little book can be great fun. They are educational in a couple of ways, first to show you how the trickery works and second to teach you something about human nature: gullibility, greed, empathy, friendship, and suspicion. A few of the tricks include: Winning at Nim (a nice example of the binary system in action). ...

Modern Refrigeration and Air Conditioning

Andrew D. Althouse, Carl H. Turnquist, ...

Goodheart-Wilcox Publisher, 2003

Modern Refrigeration Resource
Thanks to the length of time this book has been available and the frequent revisions to the copyright, it continues to get bigger and better as time goes on. My bookshelf has at least 5 of those revisions that frequently get utilized . Each revision builds upon the prior publication and expands on the detail they provide. This publication represents an established reference standard ...
