Invertebrate Zoology7 reviews
Edward E. Ruppert, Robert D. Barnes
Harcourt Brace College Publishers, 1994
Sets the standard for Invertebrate Zoology texts
Ruppert and Barnes' text, now in its 6th edition sets the standard for invertebrate zoology texts. The authors provide adequate depth for undergraduate courses in invertebrate zoology, and good fodder for graduate students starting in the discipline as well. There are outstanding collections of line drawings in the text -- a method of illustration I prefer to photographs for most ...

Voyages Through the Universe5 reviews
Andrew Fraknoi
Harcourt Brace College Publishers, 1996
Great Astronomy Introductory Book!
If you have any interest in Astronomy, this is a must have book for an introduction to the subject. It is a non-mathematical introduction to the subject and is extremely well written. The book was intended for a non-major science subject in college, but even if you are not attending a class on the subject, this is still a great book to learn from. I personally don't have the hard cover ...

German in Review15 reviews
Kimberly Sparks, Van Horn Vail
Harcourt Brace College Publishers, 1986
The Best I've Ever Seen
I studied linguistics in college and have studied and learned several languages to fluency. This is the best grammar review text I have ever used. It's straight forward, comprehensive, well laid out and unusually readable. The use of green ink to illustrate examples and highlight what's important is especially effective. I wish it were part of a series that included similar texts for French, ...

The Semisovereign People: A Realist's View of Democracy in America7 reviews
E. E. Schattschneider
Harcourt Brace College Publishers, 1975
Brilliant, but move on
I can only agree with the other reviewers. This is as good as political science gets. Pure brilliance. When you have read this book - you really should! - then you can move on to more current studies that uses Schattschneider's ideas and develops them much further. Rochefort & Cobb: "The Politics of Problem Definition", Baumgartner & Jones: "Agendas and Instability in American Politics", Cobb ...

Macroeconomics, Principles and Policy5 reviews
William J Baumol, Alan S Blinder
Harcourt Brace College Publishers, 1997
the authors clearly know how to teach
I think this introductory econ book is exceptionally good as a text book; a book that truely deserves 5 stars. If a book explains things clearly, I usually give it 4 stars, but this book goes beyond that. The authors made a concious effort to make learning easy and meaningful. Right at the beginning, the authors will tell you that they don't expect you to be a econ fanatic and remember every ...

Fundamentals of Financial Management : Concise Edition8 reviews
Brigham
Harcourt Brace College Publishers, 1996
Excellent textbook for gaining an understanding of Finance
This text book is an excellent resource for understanding Financial Management. It was a required text in my MBA program and the book is easy to go through on your own. There are exercises, or self tests, at the end of each section in the chapters, as well as many types of problems and self test questions at the end of the chapters.
We had a mediocre teacher in my MBA program, so going ...

Marketing Research Method Foundations 7e4 reviews
Gilbert A. Churchill Jr.
Harcourt Brace College Publishers, 1999
Expensive but worth every penny!
This is a huge work of marketing research, both in terms of volume and importance. Although intended as a grounding in the foundations of market research, the book takes you further than that. As a result I was using it as a text at post-graduate level. The book sets out to explain how to: Formulate your problem. Determine your research design. Design your collection method and forms. ...

Asking about Life4 reviews
Tobin
Harcourt Brace College Publishers, 1997
What a Great Textbook
I don't usually review (or even read) textbooks. However, in researching a forthcoming book, I've spent a lot of time with Tobin and Dushek's Asking About Life. It's made my life much easier. As those who are familiar with Asking About Life know, this is a textbook with a philosophy. That philosophy is to present biology not as a canonical set of facts about life, but as a dynamic, ongoing ...

La Grammaire A L'Oeuvre4 reviews
John Barson
Harcourt Brace College Publishers, 1986
Great information, not so great layout
I'm not currently taking a class, so I purchased this book in an earlier edition to study grammar on my own. I like the way subjects are arranged in the book, and the examples provided are long enough to give good context.
My main complaint is visual- the book is organized into two columns with text packed in and items in tables are centered rather than left justified. I found this made it a ...

Criminal Justice4 reviews
James A. Inciardi
Harcourt Brace College Publishers, 1996
How educational it is
This book is very educational for those who are majoring or minoring in Criminal Justice. The book itself explains how the Criminal Justice works. In addition to this, the book helps you understand the laws. It also allows you to understand each and every law that the government of the United States has set. The author of this book seems to be very detailed and specific about every law and ...

Lifespan Human Development4 reviews
Brodzinsky, David Brodzinsky
Harcourt Brace College Publishers, 1989
excellent, comprehensive work
I have used Dr. Gormly's book for several years as the required reading in my Development courses...her book is unique in that it is not patronizing of the reader (as are several other Development texts), is clearly written, and does not contain "padding" as is found in too many other texts. I am looking forward to the next edition of her fine book!

Looking Out Looking in: Interpersonal Communication4 reviews
Ronald B. Adler, Neil Towne
Harcourt Brace College Publishers, 1993
A superior friend
When I started using this book in 1978, I could never have dreamed the impact it would have on my students. Now, as director of my own private school in another country it has become even more powerful as a tool to help teach English as well as communication skills in the native language. Through the excersises and discussions, students learn to communicate bi-lingually more ...

Environment5 reviews
Raven

Environment by John Allif
The thing that I like the most about this book is the way chemistry is incorporated into the sciences that relate to environment. It has all the basic chemistry skills required for one to be able to relate to environment at the introductory level. The Appendix on Environmental Chemistry is very well presented. It has most of the concepts that one require in this course. It is written in short and ...

A Biography of the English Language4 reviews
C. M. Millward, Celia M. Millward
Harcourt Brace College Publishers, 1990
Witty, erudite, and worth the $$$$
For anyone interested in historical linguistics, Millward's textbook is the first you should read. Her dry sense of humor livens even the most dense chapters on inner history and spelling reform. The book is intended to serve as a text for a graduate course on the history of English, and it is useful for both experienced linguists as well as those who have no prior coursework in linguistics. ...

Getting Started With Matlab: A Quick Introduction for Scientists and Engineers (Saunders Golden Sunburst ...3 reviews
S. I. Pratap
Harcourt Brace College Publishers, 1995
A Quick Introduction...
I started hearing about MATLAB when I started going to college to do my bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering. I took a C++ class and I really enjoyed the power of C++ in problem solving and logic. Then came MATLAB which is a class that is required to be taken by all EE students. I got this book because it had the word "quick". Time is a very important factor when it comes to learning a new ...
