Paradise Lost (Oxford World's Classics)
Paradise Lost (Oxford World's Classics)

Review:This Modern Library edition is gorgeously printed and well-annotated with invaluable critical notes that will make the work vastly more accessible to the average person while providing useful background to others. I would have preferred it to have included Paradise Regained, however, as I think it's an important companion to the work. Those with more of an interest in literary criticism or who wish to more vigorously digest and dissect the poem would be advised to steer themselves towards the No... Read more

99 Personal Money Management Principles to Live - Why Didn't They Teach Me This in School?
99 Personal Money Management Principles to Live - Why Didn't They Teach Me This in School?

Review:I teach an Intro. to Finance class for college students and have used this book for 3 semesters now. Students love the book and on post-course surveys consistently rate it as one of their favorite parts of the class. It is easy to read, affordable, and has excellent basic finance recommendations for folks that are just starting out on their own. I do not agree with everything Siegel has to say and I think culturally his perspective is that of a wealthy white guy, but his 99 principles are ove... Read more

Gulliver’s Travels (Collins Classics)
Gulliver’s Travels (Collins Classics)

Review:From an adventure story this is an excellent read. However, Swift contrasts the lands that Gulliver travels to his own native England to make a political statement. I found the political dialogues to be a little bit of a turn off. I would still recommend this as long as you don't let the political stuff get in the way of your enjoyment. Read more

Privilege, Power, and Difference
Privilege, Power, and Difference

Review:As an instructor working in the Humanities, finding non-threatening ways to talk about privilege, whiteness, and/or racism is very challenging. As I read the negative reviews, I am even more aware of how difficult it is to get these ideas across without being accused of self-hatred, etc. In an effort to encourage positive self reflection on these complex issues, I have read many of the foundation works Dr. Johnson mentions. His recapituation of these ideas is indeed gentle. One of the best thin... Read more
