Great Memoir
Little Miss Smarty-Pants is first the memoir I have laughed my way through most of. Suzanne Kopoulos really lets it all hang out. She didn't hold much, if anything, back. As you might expect, she did change the names. I give her a lot of credit. Granted I didn't have as diverse a life as Suzanne, but I couldn't sit down and write about my life like she has. Give Suzanne Kopoulos a gold star for ...

Will & Grace: Fabulously Uncensored

Jim Colucci

Time Inc Home Entertainment, 2004

For W&G Fanatics!
This book is great for people who are obsessed with the show. The colorful (and I mean COLORFUL) pages are filled with photos, episode summaries (seasons 1 -6), cast and character bios (on minor characters as well), witty quotes and a lot of behind the scenes articles and tidbits. It makes a great coffee table book to pick up and flip through and relive the laughter.

Smartypants (Pete In School)

2 reviews

Putnam Juvenile, 2003

If only school were this much fun
Although I am somewhat older than the suggested age range for this book, I loved the combination of witty illustrations and sly humor. Kalman's imagination is free-wheeling and far-reaching (have YOU ever considered what you'd do if your dog swallowed the remote?) and in a few words she encapsulates the essence of the educational experience--long stretches of boredom punctuated by occasional ...

The World According to Mimi Smartypants

Mimi Smartypants

Avon A, 2006

A great book for reading on the el
This sharp new book reads like it was written by the witty, imperfect, cooler older sister you wish you had; the one who walks around with a dryer sheet unknowingly stuck to her back but manages to give the most spot on advice for any of those twenty something angst moments we all have had. She is down to earth, funny, and writes about things all of us twenty somethings have experienced. This ...

Prisoner of History: Aspasia of Miletus and Her Biographical Tradition

Madeleine M. Henry

Oxford University Press, USA, 1995

Biography of a Modern Woman in an Ancient World
My first interest in this book was its classical history setting. As a former Classics student, I enjoyed the mix of history and biography. And as a woman, I was delighted that someone had written a biography of one of the most colorful women in antiquity. Aspasia is an astounding woman, and her life is finally put together for us in this unique biography. Ms. Henry covers a lot of ground ...

Anglo-American Feminist Challenges to the Rhetorical Traditions: Virginia Woolf, Mary Daly, Adrienne Rich

Krista Ratcliffe

Southern Illinois University Press, 1996

magnificent
This book dares to include three of the very greatest writers of the century. Mary Daly is the incredibly courageous voice of contemporary radical feminism, Woolf is still valuable for her essays, and Adrienne Rich is a truly visionary poet who has changed the way contemporary discourse is conducted. A wonderful book.

Wadsworth Publishing, 2003

Criminal Evidence: Principles and Cases
CRIMINAL EVIDENCE is a well written textbook that describes the many laws governing different types of evidence. Whether it be fingerprints, photographs or other documents, this book covers it all. It teaches you the laws of Search and Seizure and how the Exclusionary Rule (Fruits of the Poisonous Tree Doctrine/Derivative Evidence Rule) comes about when illegally obtained evidence is presented ...

How to Be a Genius: A Handbook for the Aspiring Smarty-Pants

Andre de Guillaume

Chicago Review Press, 2007

True!! It does actually make you cleverer...
Although this book is probably meant to be just harmless fun (and it really is fun!), I can categorically state that reading it has made me at least five times more intelligent. It's funny, witty, entertaining, and it's a great gift for anyone who thinks they're cleverer than they are. Or for anyone who needs help in the brain department. In other words, pretty much everyone.

Princess Smarty Pants Rules
Princess Smarty Pants Rules is my kind of book, utterly delightful with wonderful illustrations. Children of all ages and parents and grand parents will thoroughly enjoy this and the other Smarty Pants books. I love them all and so will you. Go on treat yourself and have as much fun as I did reading this to my grand children.

Putnam Juvenile, 1987

Hurrah for Smartypants
My children just loved this story. Very humorous, easy for intermediate readers on their own or beginner readers with a little assistance. There's not much to this story, it seemed to end too quickly. However, it's perfect for bedtime or short-story reading in the classroom. If you're worried about feminist ideals: Be careful that your own opinions don't hinder the "flavor" of this story, young ...

Becoming A Master Student: Tenth Edition, Concise

Dave Ellis

Houghton Mifflin Company, 2003

A must have resource
Anyone who is considering or currently attending massage therapy school cannot help but benefit from ordering this text and the accompanying CD. The CD is an excellent tool in prepping the student for examinations. Even if you had no medical science background this resource will educate you. Because my husband is visually impaired, the classroom instruction was inadequate. The CD included made ...

The Will to Kill: Making Sense of Senseless Murder (2nd Edition)

3 reviews
James Alan Fox, Jack Levin, ...

Allyn & Bacon, 2004

Levin & Fox Did It Again
Of the many books writen on the topic of Homicide, THE WILL TO KILL is unique in that it covers the topic from a perspective that is interesting to the casual true crime fan and yet is an invaluable resource to the serious professional who delves into the grisly world of murder. Levin & Fox have produced several serious works on the topic of homicide and all reflect the fact that the authors are ...

The Sixties: Cultural Revolution in Britain, France, Italy, and the United States, c.1958-c.1974

Arthur Marwick

Oxford University Press, USA, 1998

rather stilted and humdrum effort for an exciting decade
A lot of the material is great, but stylistically the book is strained--like reading through a pile of thesis notecards.

Politics Online: Blogs, Chatrooms, and Discussion Groups in Ameri

1 review
Richard Davis

Routledge, 2005

If you're looking for a serious study of politics online, keep looking
This book's ambitions might have been noble, but it falls far short of its goal of providing an empirical look at online forums of political communication. One limitation is that, despite the implications of its subtitle, the book really only spends significant time discussing UseNet. It briefly mentions the role of chatrooms, and as for blogs, Davis claims they are "really a small niche" (pp. ...

Laura Thudium

Back Stage Books, 1999

I can't believe the author is the same name as mine!
I have never read a page of this book, but I just can't believe there is another Laura Thudium in this world! This is quite exciting. I wish I could contact his author and tell her that I have the exact same name as her! Laura Thudium is not a name you hear every day.

Criminal Law

Thomas J. Gardner, Terry M. Anderson

Wadsworth Publishing, 2005

Used 7th edition as secondary material for teaching undergrad CrimLaw
The layout of the book is user friendly, and the case extracts are concise. I designated it as a reference book for my students and placed it on call in the library for them to review. It can be overly simplistic for an advanced reader, but on target for a good majority of freshman students. Maybe the 8th edition will show some evolution.

Annie and Arnie's Arduous Afternoon
Chloie Elle Estelle

Smarty-pants books, 2005

This is a vocabulary book for the whole family. It is for readers of all ages. It consists of a nonsense story using words that begin with the featured letter - in this case "A" - with the word definitions at the bottom of each page. This is followed by an activity/workbook that helps readers become more familiar with meanings, spellings, and grammatical values through fun and challenging word games. This section is followed by an answer key. ...

Old Labor Lessons for New Labor
In the days of a labor movement which is trying desperately to turn itself around, the current generation will do well to read the lessons of the past one. For ten years I have worked for the Hotel and Restaurant Employees Union as an organizer and watched while employers disregard the law with impunity and workers, faced with the enormous resources of multinational service corporations intent ...

Public Heroes, Private Felons: Athletes and Crimes Against Women

Jeff Benedict

Northeastern, 1999

Much better than Pros and Cons
I was writing a report for one of my college writing classes about the recent off the field problems that athletes are having today. I had bought Pros and Cons and found it to be interesting and full of facts and stories. However, when I read this book, I was impressed even more. Benedict does a great job of painting the picture of how violent these knucklehead athletes can be. When the ...

The Smartypants' Guide to the AP Environmental Science Exam

Lulu.com, 2006

It got me a 5
I just got my AP scores in the mail and I got a 5 in APES. Seriously, all I did was read this cram book a couple of nights before the AP exam. I did keep up with all the reading/note taking throughout the year in my class, but for the AP exam this is all I looked at. It's a really good review. But if you are basing your score entirely on a cram book or doing independent study, I suggest reading a ...
