Bill Martin Jr

Longman, 1999

Must get for your little ones!
Talk about a book that my son loved!!!!! After a few days he was reciting the book without looking at the pages. He is only 2.5 years old. He especially loves the part with the teacher and kids at the end. You gotta invest in this book. It is so worth it.

Better Writing
This book is a step-by-step instruction to different kinds of technical writing. It is easy to understand and follow. The topics are well organized and clearly outlined, which makes it easy to read. It's a nice reference book if you have to look up different writing styles.

Review of used books offered by Amazon.com
I was pleasantly surprised by the good condition of the used book I purchased through Amazon.com. I will consider doing so again.

Writing and Reading Across the Curriculum (10th Edition)

6 reviews
Laurence Behrens, Leonard J. Rosen

Longman, 2007

Exactly what i needed
This was the required book i needed for class. It was about 10 more dollars at the bookstore. When I started my english class I had the previous edition that my sister had used the year before, so I needed this book to arrive within a week. It was delivered pretty fast and of course in mint condition. The book itself I think is way better than the previous edition and I'm glad I got it from Amazon

The Prince (Mentor)

270 reviews
Machiavelli

Longman, 1998

`Do the ends justify the means?'
A young colleague of mine recently said `management is easy'. I smiled enigmatically and considered buying him a copy of `The Prince' but I fear it would be wasted. I am now on my third copy of this book which, alas, I can only read in English. The George Bull translation (as reprinted in 1995) is the version I currently refer to. I first read this book when studying economic history at high ...

Things Fall Apart

525 reviews
Chinua Achebe

Longman, 1978

A classic, with good reason
This is an extraordinary book in its ability to narrate both a story of cultural dissonance and an overarching tale about the human condition. Achebe's novel broaches the subject of morality, but demonstrates that even the concept of "evil" is subject to a cultural interpretive context. Okonkwo, the book's tragic hero, is an emblem of tradition, but also represents how tradition can be ...

A People's History of the United States

627 reviews
Howard Zinn

Longman, 1980

Dissent is Patriotic!
I am a big fan of history and wanted to see what the buzz regarding this book was all about. I am fully aware that history is written by the conquerors and there are plenty of shameful things my country has done that the government has not even tried to lie about or cover up, so... I was very curious to learn what more there is that my burnt out, under paid, teachers did not know, or bother, to ...

The Elements of Style, Fourth Edition

374 reviews
William Strunk Jr., E. B. White

Longman, 1999

A Must For the College Bound
We traditionally give this as part of a high school graduation present and have received many notes of thanks over the years.

Longman, 2008

Good book for college help
I haven't been using this book for very long, since the school semester only started a few weeks ago, but I've used it long enough to know that it is a very helpful tool in writing. It is one of the only books I've ever known to actually include built in tabs so that you can find your way around the book easily. It is simple to use and great for essay help.

Style: Lessons in Clarity and Grace (9th Edition)

45 reviews
Joseph M. Williams

Longman, 2006

An Excellent Guide and Workbook
Even a brief browsing of Joseph Williams's STYLE: LESSONS IN CLARITY AND GRACE, ninth edition, would persuade most readers that this book makes the much touted Strunk & White's "The Elements of Style" look simplistic. If the seductively slender "Elements"--easily read in a day, no exercises to do--could deliver its claim, by the end of the day there'd be millions of excellent writers. Besides, ...

Literature: An Introduction to Fiction, Poetry, and Drama (10th Edition) (Kennedy/Gioia Literature Series)

1 review
X. J. Kennedy, Dana Gioia

Longman, 2006

Surprsingly Wonderful!
I picked this book up for a class, expecting to be perfectly bored. Instead, this book woke up my sleeping love of learning and literature. The book is easy to understand and contains MANY great stories and poems in it. It also has a great glossary and index was well. It came with an additional feature, MyLiteratureLab, which is an accompanying web page. That is also very helpful indeed. ...

Writing Arguments: A Rhetoric with Readings, Concise Edition (4th Edition)

3 reviews
John D. Ramage, John C. Bean, ...

Longman, 2006

Thoughtful, articulate, and readable rhetoric.
"Writing Arguments" shines like a beacon in the dark and murky waters of composition textbooks. Although some have critiqued it for its "passive" approach, I support both the approach and the layout as the best way I've found to approach basic argumentation. A solid understanding of audience (in particular) is vital for successful writing, and it's also something inexperienced, self-focused ...

An Introduction to Poetry

5 reviews
X. J. Kennedy, Dana Gioia

Longman, 2006

This Is A Textbook?
Maybe I shouldn't have even used the term "textbook". After all that word generally connotes a book that is tedious, dry and full of obscure jargon. This is a different book, however. It is indeed a sprightly introduction to poetry that informs and entertains. It has sections on Irony, Tone, Words, Metaphors, Sound, Rhythm, Form, Symbol, Myth, and Narrative, just to mention a few. The ...

What If? (3rd Edition)

Anne Bernays, Pamela Painter

Longman, 2008

Writing Buddy
I am novice writer who was in dire need of some stimulating direction. I have idea's galore and inspiration a'plenty, but moulding all my little dribs and drabs together was proving to be a larger task than I thought. If you are looking for a book to assist you with your writing, WHAT IF? will definitely help. It prop's you up when you are drooping, keeps you motivated and active - in ...

Little, Brown Compact Handbook (with MyCompLab), The (5th Edition) (MyCompLab Series)

Longman, 2005

The Little Brown Compact Handbook
This book is indispensable in helping the student create quality and error-free formal class papers. The LBCH is easy to read, divides aides by category, and gives examples of the help the student is searching for. I recommend this book to any new student entering college.

"Animal Farm" (Literature Guidelines)

1141 reviews

Longman, 1990

Animalism or Communism
Animal Farm is about a group of animals who decide to overthrow their master, Farmer Jones, because he has become drunk and does not give them food. This book is even more enjoyable if you know your Russian History because they go hand in hand. Farmer Jones represents Czar Nicholas the Second and the Animal Revolution represents the Russians kicking out the czar. There are many more similarities ...
