Music: An Appreciation, Fourth Brief Edition with Kamien 4.0 Multimedia CD-ROM 9 reviews
Roger Kamien
McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages, 2001
A Good Overview of Music in Context
This book does a good job of putting music in an overall historical context. For example, it notes how Baroque productions, whether sculpture or music, meant to "fill space." That accounts for elaborate melodies in music, and movement in painting and sculpture.
Music used to be written as much for the mind as the ear. In some vocal pieces, lyrics correspond to melody. For example, if the ...

The Elements of Moral Philosophy with Dictionary of Philosophical Terms28 reviews
James Rachels
McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages, 2002
Asking All The Right Questions
"The Elements of Moral Philosophy" is a fabulous, non-technical introduction to ethics. The writing is clear and historically informed, the main schools of thought are covered, and Rachels doesn't pretend that he's found all the answers to very difficult questions. I can't think of a better book for a college student who is new to philosophical ethics and wants to get a feel for how ...

Critical Thinking4 reviews
Brooke Noel Moore, Richard Parker
McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages, 2005
The First and the Best: Funny, Sharp, Exceptional
I have taught critical thinking and argument for fourteen years, and Moore and Parker's Critical Thinking is the best in its field, bar none. That is why it is in its eighth edition. You'll see imitations, but this is the original--the one that started it all and brought critical thinking out of philosophy classrooms and to the masses of non-philosophy college students.
Don't get me wrong, ...

Music: An Appreciation, Brief Edition 2 reviews
Roger Kamien
McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages, 2007
Brief, but thorough
I've seen the unabridged version of this book and it's as big as an encyclopedia. The Brief Edition does well to summarize the important points in music history; though the meat of the book is centered in the classical (Renaissance, Baroque, Romantic, Classical, Opera) and merely touches on the more modern componets like jazz and rock. Still, the book and accompanying CD are excellent for those ...

McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages, 2005
Great insights
This is a great book that will ennable you to see aspects of our culture that are so interwoven in our everyday experience that we're not even aware of them. It helped me see what we take for granted and understand what we can all do to make changes in our society so that it will become a place where people are truly equal. We all need to read this book and become more aware so things can ...

The Last Dance: Encountering Death and Dying 5 reviews
Lynne Ann DeSpelder, Albert Lee Strickland
McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages, 2004
This is a wonderfully written and organized text that students will hold on to and not sell after reading it!
I will be using The Last Dance for the third year in a course I teach on Death and Dying in Western Culture. This text does a marvelous job of addressing the socio-cultural aspects of death in America and the world. The chapter on suicide is both helpful and haunting. There are so many excellent illustrations and photographs in this book that it really comes alive for the students. It is ...

It's the one needed at UCLA (and I'm sure other schools too) for Spanish 1-3. It does a good job of showing examples.

The Art of Watching Films with Tutorial CD-ROM9 reviews
Joe Boggs, Dennis W. Petrie
McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages, 2006
Informative
Used this book in an intro to film class. I will keep it on the shelf as a reference book. For class it has smooth reading that is cohesive, didn't seem like it has filler information in it. It was fun to read. The context was very helpful in class for lectures, and movie analyzation. Goes over key aspects of film as well as very detailed examples of what to look for, how to see it.

Great review of general concepts
I used this book to study for the Here's to Your Health DANTE exam. It was an excellent study guide and hit on each and every subject on the test. The practice tests in the back of the book were very helpful. I would recommend this text to anyone studying for a proficiency exam.

Great Sociology Book
When I bought this book I was a Sociology major. Since then I have changed my major, but I will keep this book forever. Although we were assigned readings in class, I rarely did so, but when I did I was intrigued. This is a well written easy to follow book. I would definately recommend this book to anyone who is even slightly interested in Sociology or studying sociology. The author doesn't bury ...

McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages, 2008
The best in a long line of boring criminal justice books!!!
This book is by far one of the best of the criminal justice books that I have ever read. If it wasn't required reading for my Criminal Investigations class, I just might have picked it up and read it on my own. This book is one of the most interesting and easy to read books that has ever been required reading. The photography in the text helps with the topics in the reading much more than ...
