Harper Collins Robert French College Dictionary8 reviews

HarperResource, 2000

WELL-STRUCTURED, VERY GOOD
"Harper Collins Robert French College Dictionary" has a rather long name, but that is the only big blame I have for it. It quickly opens the door at the request of any French enthusiast. This well-compiled lexicon covers almost all the contemporary words that French natives use in daily conversations. It has a good structure, and its double-spaced outlay makes it easy to locate words. However, ...
  
  











  



  
The Writing Road to Reading : The Spalding Method of Phonics for Teaching Speech, Writing and Reading19 reviews
Romalda Bishop Spalding, Walter T. Spalding

HarperResource, 1990

Wonderful
This is a wonderful system and it's very easy to impliment. I saw this demonstrated once and immediately recognized that it hit all the areas of learning. By writing and making the sounds and seeing the letters and hearing the sounds children begin to read. When my son wanted to read I tried this method. My three year old and I began doing this with the flashcards although he really wasn't up to ...

Robert Young Pelton's the World's Most Dangerous Places106 reviews
Robert Young Pelton

HarperResource, 2000

Really several (long) books in one
This really consists of three books. The first, and the most obvious part, t is an actual, honest-to-goodness travel guide to dangerous places. I can easily imagine reporters, security consultants, and others pulling this book off their shelf before going to an unfamiliar place. Inevitably, there are places left out. Pelton includes the United States here, half-seriously and half ...

On Writing Well: The Classic Guide to Writing Nonfiction155 reviews
William Knowlton Zinsser

HarperResource, 1998

An excellent writing guide
I first purchased this product from Amazon for an English class at the local community college, and received it two weeks before class started. While some reviewers here have complained about the personal antecdotes, I found those to be the most helpful. Zinsser used his own real life examples on writing styles, as well as stressing how un-glamorous the writer's life actually is, especially if ...

Charlie Papazian

HarperResource, 1991

Great Book
I was new to homebrewing and wanted to read up a little bit more to find out if it was really for me before I spent alot of money on it. This book sealed the deal. Its easy to read and tells you everything you need to know to get started. It has tons of recipes as well. This version of the book is the 2nd edition, the third is out and is more up to date, but brewing hasn't changed to much ...
  
  











  



  
When You're Expecting Twins, Triplets, or Quads: A Complete Resource (Harperresource Books)174 reviews
Barbara Luke, Tamara Eberlein

HarperResource, 1999

Maximizes pregnancy outcome!
This book was one of the keys to my healthy twin pregnancy. True, it's hard to follow the nutritional advice to the letter, but you just do the best you can. I promise that if you're not a big fan of meat, you will get used to it when you know that you're helping your babies grow. The book also contains nutritional advice for vegetarians. I started out at a BMI of 18 and carried my twins to 38 ...
  
  











  



  
Harper Collins French Dictionary/French-English English-French: College Edition (HarperCollins Bilingual ...2 reviews
Harper Collins Publishers

HarperResource, 1990

French/English Dictionary
The dictionary is pretty useful - handy to take to class. I haven't found all of the words that I look up, but it's definitely a better dictionary than just a little pocket one.

The Handbook of Chinese Horoscopes (4th Edition)16 reviews
Theodora Lau

HarperResource, 2000

AN EXCELLENT GUIDE.
I have only recently been elightened by the wisdom of Chinese astrology and I found this book to be very honest and real. There seem to be certain elements in Eastern astrology which are missing in the "Western" version: together they seem to make a person feel more "whole"! The knowledge of being an Earth Boar, for instance, has brought many insights about myself (and how I relate to others): ...
  
  











  



  
Times Comprehensive Atlas of the World, Eleventh Edition (Times Atlas of the World Comprehensive Edition)9 reviews
HarperCollins UK

HarperResource, 2005

Disappointing but still the Best
I bought this edition to replace our family copy of the 5th edition, which dated from the 80s, and preceded the collapse of the Soviet Union, the new boundaries of Eastern Europe, etc. and so was due for replacement. In terms of quality of the maps, and the detail of the information they convey, this edition is inferior to its predecessor. However, considered in isolation, without reference to ...
  
  











  



  
American Guitars Revised Edition: Illustrated History, An4 reviews
Tom Wheeler

HarperResource, 1992

entertaining reference book
As a music store owner, musician, and collector, I find this book indespenible. We've worn out several copies over the years. It's as complete a reference as one could possibly expect, and fairly fun to just sit and browse through.
  
  











  



  
The Way of the Seeded Earth, Part 1: The Sacrifice (Historical Atlas of World Mythology)1 review
Joseph Campbell

HarperResource, 1988

The magnum opus of one of the world's leading scholars on comparative mythology
[Review written May 2004] Series Review: Historical Atlas of World Mythology Where to begin ? Joseph Campbell, without exaggeration, is probably one of the 100 greatest scholars of the 20th century. He was a genius, a polymath, a world-travelling polygot, a brilliant teacher and a master storyteller - all in one. On top of that, he was also one of those exceedingly rare individuals ...
