Have You Seen Birds? 5 reviews
Joanne Oppenheim
Addison-Wesley Educational Publishers Inc, 1968
Birds a-plenty, birds galore
Both of my little ones like this book. It is a simple read with plenty of rhymes and fun pictures. However, it is not too simple because within the rhymes the little ones can learn quite a bit about birds and bird behavior. My little boy saw the blackbirds on the "summer garden birds" page and said they looked like grackles and acted like them too with all of their splashing and mess-making. My ...

Addison-Wesley Educational Publishers Inc.,U.S., 1977
One of the books I remember most from childhood
I don't know what it was exactly about this book, but I REALLY liked it as a kid and now I want to be able to share it with my twin boys (age 4). Wish I knew what happened to my copy! Definitely worth sharing with a whole new generation. LIVE ON PICKLE PICKLE PICKLE JUICE!! (ha ha)

Abnormal Psychology4 reviews
David S. Holmes
Addison-Wesley Educational Publishers Inc., 1996
excellent textbook
I am a psychology student (in Greece) & I bought this book to help me with an abnormal psychology course that I'm taking this year. I searched in Amazon for the best textbook on the subject, & read that this one is probably the best one. I was very happy to find out, after using it this semester, that that's probably true. Of course I haven't read all the other textbooks on the same subject, ...

Provincetown Seafood Cookbook5 reviews
Howard Mitcham
Addison-Wesley Educational Publishers Inc, 1976
Provincetown Seafood
This is my favorite seafood cookbook of all time. The recipes are generally traditional dishes brought over to New England from Portugal. If you have access to good Atlantic stocks, like Maine shrimp, cod, squid, mackerel, and clams, this is a must have. The elegance of this book is its simplicity.

Physics6 reviews
Marcelo Alonso, Edward J. Finn
Addison-Wesley Educational Publishers Inc, 1970
The best 1st year university physics book in print!
The book I am reviewing ("Physics" by Marcelo Alonso and Edward J. Finn. Harlow, England. Addison-Wesley (1992). reprinted 1995-96. 1138 pages. ISBN 0-201-56518-8. paperback) is in my opinion the best first year undergraduate book (thankfully!) still avaliable in the US. Strangely, even though written by two American professors - one from The Florida Institute of Technology and the other from ...

Physical Chemistry (World student series)5 reviews
Gilbert William Castellan
Addison-Wesley Educational Publishers Inc.,U.S., 1983
Superb and elegant simplicity
After teaching Physical Chemistry for several years, I find Castellan's book the best there is, not only for undergraduate courses, but also as a handy resource for physical insight into various phenomena. I like especially his conceptual presentation of temperature, heat and entropy, and his easy-to-follow "mathematical interludes". The combination of physical insight with mathematical rigour ...

PROLOG Programming for Artificial Intelligence (International Computer Science Series)9 reviews
Ivan Bratko
Addison-Wesley Educational Publishers Inc, 2009
Great book for learning AI with Prolog, but....
... a horrible Prolog tutorial. This is not a good first book on Prolog. If you are new to Prolog and Logic Programming, you should read 'Art of Prolog' first. Prolog is quite different from other languages, and you'll need some time to get it. This book doesn't give you that time: after briefly introducing the basic concepts, Bratko dives at breakneck speed into recursion and list processing. ...

Introductory Algebra3 reviews
Marvin L. Bittinger
Addison-Wesley Educational Publishers Inc, 1983
A great book!
I love the way this book has you work out problems in the margins as you go through the reading. This makes sure that you understand the work that you've read about, before you go on to the next piece. I also like the fact that every other odd problem is solved step-by-step in the back of the book.

International Business2 reviews
John D. Daniels
Addison-Wesley Educational Publishers Inc, 1979
Best International Business Textbook
I use this textbook and its previous edition to teach International Business to senior level students in cyberspace. I consider this the most readable text on the subject. This edition has been slimmed down from the previous edition, and it is an improvement to an excellent text. My students agree that this text is great. Anyone who needs a comprehensive book on this field should purchase ...

Matrices and Linear Transformations (Addison-Wesley Series in Mathematics)4 reviews
Charles G. Cullen
Addison-Wesley Educational Publishers Inc, 1972
Supreme intro to advanced linear algebra and matrix analysis
Charles Cullen deserves to pat himself on the back for this one. The first three chapters are the meat of the book which review or, possibly to some, introduce the fundamentals of linear algebra (matrices, vector spaces, and determinants.) After firmly laying down a foundation from which to work with, Cullen does a remarkable job explaining linear transformations and eigenvalues and ...

Elementary Geometry from an Advanced Standpoint2 reviews
Edwin E. Moise
Addison-Wesley Educational Publishers Inc.,U.S., 1963
Geometry with a twinkle in the eye
This is probably the only math book I've actually read in its entirety. Moise delivers what could be very dry material with a lightness and sense of humor that kept me poking on through the book. The connections to other areas of math, especially (and not surprisingly) non-Euclidean geometries, is a big plus. I also liked the occasional historical interludes. There are a few spots where you ...

Introductory Probability and Statistical Applications (World Student)3 reviews
Paul L. Meyer
Addison-Wesley Educational Publishers Inc.,U.S., 1970
Excellent tutorial-like introduction to modern probability
This book is the best textbook for introduction to probability. Forget Chung, forget Ross, forget Feller. All these books assume that you know probability and that you are either revising or looking for advanced concepts. But the book in question assumes only some knowledge in calculus. The chapters are easy-paced and there are nemerous exercises to help you understand the concepts. Another ...

Concept of a Riemann Surface (Adiwes International)2 reviews
Hermann Weyl
Addison-Wesley Educational Publishers Inc, 1955
A classic but not revolutionary
I agree with another reader that this book is a classic. But the book is not so revolutionary as what the reader said that if you have not read that book, shot yourself. If that is true, thousands of patients will be jammed into a hospital. Also, the unavailability of this book makes it unknown ot many people. Among various books from Weyl, this is the book out of print. Other books has been ...

Elements of Quantum Theory2 reviews
F.J. Bockhoff
Addison-Wesley Educational Publishers Inc.,U.S., 1969
Best small-volume "introduction" to wave mechanics!
Frank Bockhoff's Elements of Quantum Theory is the best small-volume "introduction" to wave mechanics for chemists (all scientists?) that I know of. Some of its outstanding features are: answers to problems (a proven pedagogical device for the novice); a pointing out that Schroedinger's wave equation contains a first time derivative (and is therefore of the same form as the diffusion ...

Very few are the books that can take you from the beginning all the way to the end. This book haven't missed any step on its attempt to guide you to a succesful comprehension of mathematics.

Correct book for correspondence course
My daughter is taking a correspondence course from Texas Tech. The course is "Foundations in Personal Fitness", which she needs in order to graduate from high school. I am giving this book 5 stars because it is the correct book and edition required by Texas Tech, as of July 2005. I don't know how good the book is, but every few days she brings up something that she learned from this book.

Cook and Learn: Pictorial Single Portion Recipes3 reviews
Beverly Veitch, Thelma Harms
Addison-Wesley Educational Publishers Inc, 1981
Cook and Learn: Pictorial Single Portion Recipes
I have used this cook book with numerous groups of young children from 3-12 years old. When using this cookbook the children get to actually make their own food rather than pouring in one ingredient and stirring a little. The teachers guide is very helpful in showing tricks to make cooking activities safe for young children. Another bonus is that the book is representative of foods from many ...
