Plain English for Lawyers (5th Edition)13 reviews
Richard C. Wydick

Carolina Academic Press, 2005

One of those style books that ranscebds its genre.
I'm a lawyer who is considered a wordsmith by colleagues and judges. This is one of the most important books I've ever encountered. I was exposed to it in my first law school year's writing class, and its lessons have remained with me since. Banish the passive voice! (unless deliberately and thoughfully chosen and used). This is not merely a key to fluidity in writing, but in a sense a moral ...
  
  











  



  
Fundamental Neuroscience, Third Edition19 reviews

Academic Press, 2008

The best advanced text on the market
This textbook is a very detailed and very up-to-date exposition of Neuroscience, and in my view, for the more advanced student it is one of the best books out there. What it is NOT is a simple, concise introduction for people who are studying the nervous system for the first time. If you are taking an entry-level Neuroscience course you are likely to be overwhelmed by the amount of detail, and, ...
  
  











  



  
Mathematical Methods For Physicists55 reviews
George B. Arfken, Hans J. Weber

Academic Press, 2005

Consider it for what it is
This is a 1000 page supplement to other textbooks or courses, and works best when combined with an instructor that knows the material in depth. Personally, this book was a required text for an intro to theoretical physics class that I took a few years ago, and combined with the instructor's lectures that were partially supplemented by other authors (Boas), I learned quite a bit. Now I am in ...

William E. Linney

Armfield Academic Press, 2007

The best way to start your Latin adventure!!
This book simply and progressively guides a student in grasping the complexities of the Latin language. An ideal Latin resource for reinforcing what one has already learned, reviving what one may have forgotten, and for those that are new to Latin - this book gently reaches out, and effectively teaches you the foundation of the Latin language. After dinner, I spend a few minutes going over a ...
  
  











  



  
Biomaterials Science, Second Edition: An Introduction to Materials in Medicine9 reviews
Buddy D. Ratner, Allan S. Hoffman, ...

Academic Press, 2004

Up-to-date reference book by well-regarded experts in the field, but not a textbook
This book is widely used for grad-level biomaterials courses and for a good reason: it is a compilation of the forefronts of biomaterials research, including chapters written by well-regarded experts in the field. Any biomaterials researcher can look through the list of contributors and tell you that almost every single one listed is a big name when it comes to biomaterials conferences. As such, ...
  
  











  



  
The Human Bone Manual8 reviews
Tim D. White, Pieter Arend Folkens

Academic Press, 2005

Better then Bass
This is a very handy book. As a forensic science graduate student I have been frustrated with Bass for a long time. The pictures are just so bad. The bone manual gives you the great pictures fo White's human osteology in a nice compact Bass sized field book! A great book to add to your library!

Getting To Maybe: How to Excel on Law School Exams52 reviews
Richard Michael Fischl, Jeremy Paul

Carolina Academic Press, 1999

Must read for law students
Reading this book took a huge weight off my shoulders before law school. This book is a crash course not only in how to succeed in law school, but also how to think about the law as a whole. The lessons learned here are designed to frame your legal education, and helps you learn a surefire, if not complex, method to taking all law exams and tacking legal problems.
  
  











  



  
Limnology: Lake and River Ecosystems4 reviews
Robert G. Wetzel

Academic Press, 2001

My view of the Wetzel's limnology book
The book contains a lot of information related to lakes. It's a complete work about the conditions on this systems. Include a study about the performance of the ionic particles in this systems. It's a suitable book for students like me, to understand the freshwater ecology.

Atmospheric Science, Volume 92, Second Edition: An Introductory Survey (International Geophysics)6 reviews
John M. Wallace, Peter V. Hobbs

Academic Press, 2006

Excellent (albeit dated) treatment of atmos. science
(Update--there is a new edition of this textbook, out in spring 2006) It's too bad Wallace and Hobbs never got around to revising this edition of the text, written in 1977. Of all the undergraduate textbooks I had, this was by far the best. W&H cover all the important topics in meteorology and atmospheric science. Each chapter is very well written, easy to understand, and has good ...

Digital Evidence and Computer Crime, Second Edition11 reviews
Eoghan Casey

Academic Press, 2004

Best computer forensic book available
Sometimes, defense attorneys have it easy: one slip-up by the prosecution and evidence is thrown out. Knowing that, law enforcement goes to great lengths to ensure that evidence is appropriately collected and protected. That works well in the physical world, where law enforcement has many generations' worth of experience. But in the modern world of computers and digital networks, where the simple ...
  
  











  



  
Plant Pathology, Fifth Edition9 reviews
George N. Agrios

Academic Press, 2004

an excellent text
This is an excellent introduction to plant pathology and the kind of book one tends to hold onto to use as a reference after finishing their coursework. I have known plenty of graduate students who've held onto their copies, and I've really never heard any serious criticisms of this book. The coverage is broad, and it will serve as a useful, interesting and highly readable reference for those ...
