Longman Higher Education, 1990
easy book and good guide to understand the industry
For me this book is a very good guide to the people that like to learn more about the way that the industry and the market works and the link to many things that you can see all the time around you and could explain by the economic theory, things that happend not only in United States also in different countries like Chile. Only bad thing about the book is the colors in the graphs, maybe the ...

Pattern Making for Fashion Design38 reviews

Longman Higher Education, 1987
Well worth the money
Patternmaking for Fashion Design and DVD Package (4th Edition)
I'm an intermediate level sewer and haven't had a course in patternmaking. However I have found this book invaluable even though it is written as a textbook. I haven't read it cover to cover because I regard it as a reference book. However, after having reviewed the sections that relate to the sewing I do, I have found it very ...

The New Jerome Biblical Commentary44 reviews
Raymond Edward Brown, Joseph A Fitzmyer, ...
Longman Higher Education
Great Commentary
The NJBC is by far the best single volume commentary around. If you are a serious theological student and interetsed in good biblical research and scholarship then I highly recommend it. The contributions to it will help to broaden your search for accuracy and textual interpretation. The editors and folks who contributed to it have done an excellent job with the various exegetical criticisms ...

Strategic Marketing for Nonprofit Organizations 1 review
Philip Kotler, Alan R. Andreasen
Longman Higher Education, 1987
Great Nonprofit Marketing Text!
This book was required by my college professor, and I enjoyed reading it. It is very easy to read and very enjoyable as well. Excellent examples, and well laid out material. The course was very good as well. If you want a good introductory book about marketing services for a Nonprofit Organization then consider this one.

I Can Do This!
For years, I've struggled with poor grammar and other hindrances to good writing--but not anymore. The information taught in this book couldn't have been presented any clearer. If you cringe at the idea of memorizing endless, illogical rules of grammar, then this book is for you. It's logical, direct and very motivating! Now, I fearlessly take on any writing challenge. This review is a ...

Film Art (Addison-Wesley series in speech, drama, and film)9 reviews
David Bordwell, Kristin Thompson
Longman Higher Education, 1979
A better book than this on the art of film?? Naaa!!!!!
This book is useful as a university textbook, but is also excellent for filmgoers who would like to understand a bit more than the average audience.

Sylvan Barnet
Longman Higher Education, 1989
Great reference guide
I purchased this book at the beginning of the semester and have found it an invaluable resource. This is my first term as a graduate student, and I don't think I could have survived had it not been for this book. It gives useful commentary, helpful hints and a terrific reference section for footnotes and bibliographies. It addresses real problems that often occur in writing an art history paper ...

Landscape Planning 4 reviews
William M. Marsh
Longman Higher Education, 1983
Where Physical Geography & Env. Planning share common ground
This may be one of the best introductions to environmental planning for geography students interested in the application of physical geographic techniques. When inquiring minds ask how a Geography major like myself ended up doing septic plan review as a county Environmental Health Specialist I simply point to Marsh's chapter on waste disposal and describe the necessary physical parameters ...

Basic Ship Theory 3 reviews
K.J. Rawson, E C Topper
Longman Higher Education, 1984
Good Foundational Knowledge
I am indebted to these authors for helping me to understand marine structures better. They start rather simply and move onto the complex rather fast without losing you in the process. I especially found the section on scantling effective plating widths helpful. I also was blessed by the way they described how grillage structures work. The section on stability testing is succint but rich in ...

Learning Theories for Teachers 1 review
Morris L. Bigge
Longman Higher Education, 1982
Buyer Beware - people selling older Editions as 6th Edition.
First Edition of this book is a 40+ year old publication that first sold for $3.95 in 1964, now the current edition goes for $75? Why? Because it is still used in college classes. This is really dated material.
HOWEVER, because the newest Edition (6th - 2003) costs up to $75 new, some clowns here through Amazon.com are trying to sell you an older Edition for prices ranging from $25 to $65 ...

Elements of Materials Science and Engineering (Addison-Wesley series in metallurgy and materials engineering) 5 reviews
Lawrence Van Vlack
Longman Higher Education, 1985
An excellent book
I first read an earlier edition of this book about 15 years ago. I have found myself referring to it regularly over the years, as it contains concise descriptions with detailed enough information for the kinds of engineering problems that I encounter. It provides an easy to understand overview of a very wide spectrum of topics in materials science. I am a practicing engineer with about 20 ...

Longman Higher Education, 1987
Great Insights on How "Thinking" Works
This title was the first text book I used in my first ever philosophy class at college some 20 years ago. It really inspired me to start "thinking" about how people think. The flow of the topics and the content successfully aroused my mind and the book actually helped me a lot on ways of thinking even until now. I just want to let everyone know that this title is an excellent read for ...

Troubleshooting with the Oscilloscope2 reviews
Robert G. Middleton
Longman Higher Education, 1981
Excellant reference for older o-scopes
The oscilloscope is one of your most valuable tools. In order to realize its full value, however, you must thoroughly understand its capabilities. This means that you must know not only the correct procedures for using a scope, but also what probes to employ, which test signals are needed, and the types of waveforms to expect and how to interpret them. The author has covered all of these points ...

Elementary Surveying10 reviews
Russell C. Brinker, Paul R. Wolf
Longman Higher Education, 1989
Pretty good for California Civil PE Surveying test
I bought this book for the Civil PE Surveying test. I would recommend its use for this test. I found several answers directly from this book, answers that weren't in the typical test prep book that most people buy.
I'd recommend buying this book and also one old, outdated text book (pre 1980's at least). The exam seems to have some questions that are more of historical note than they are ...
