1941-1942 - Pacific Crucible - War at Sea in the Pacific

Review:A well written history that covers those early months of WWII in the Pacific. The author captures the uncertainty and confusion immediately following the attack on Pearl Harbor through the US Navy's recovery with its victory at Midway. I also appreciated the insight given to key leaders on both sides. Read more

Sky & Telescope's Pocket Sky Atlas Jumbo Edition
Sky & Telescope's Pocket Sky Atlas Jumbo Edition

Review:I love the print version of this atlas, but not the Kindle edition. The scan resolution is poor. The navigation is underwhelming. When you look at a map, there are arrows in the margin to indicate the adjoining map. How hard would it have been to make those arrows "active" so that you would be transported to that map? Colour me disappointed! Read more

Atlas of Human Anatomy for the Artist
Atlas of Human Anatomy for the Artist

Review:This book was required reading for me in art college. It is very detailed and accurate, but like most artistic human anatomy books it falls into the category of being too detailed and does not address the human skeleton as a figure in motion or as a series of counterweights.

It is a fantastic anatomy book that I breeze through for extra support every now and then, but I find myself going to "Bridgman's Drawing from Life" more often. Read more

America's First Female Rocket Scientist - The Story of Mary Sherman Morgan
America's First Female Rocket Scientist - The Story of Mary Sherman Morgan

Review:This book takes the reader behind the scenes of the Space Race of the 1950's, into the little known contribution made by the one woman on the engineering team that sent the first U.S. satellite into orbit.

Review:This book does not include an access to MyStatLab (access code required). If your class requires you to log in to MyStatLab, except to pay around $95 extra. With that, the price is only a little bit better then getting it from my college book store. Book came clean, new, and with a CD like expected. Read more

Campbell Essential Biology with Physiology Plus Mastering Biology with eText -- Access Card Package (5th Edition) (Simon et al.

Review:Yes, I like text and 3-ring binder format of the pages is awesome, however; there is one big problem. The book is missing pages 49-76, which was a big problem as these pages encompassed the information on my first quiz. Not happy! Read more

The Norton Anthology of English Literature (Ninth Edition)  (Vol. 1)
The Norton Anthology of English Literature (Ninth Edition) (Vol. 1)

Review:I'm glad I got this three volume set instead of the all-in-one book, which is way too thick and heavy to carry around easily. It's probably also much cheaper than the ones sold in most college bookstores. These books were in good condition as described by the seller, and arrived quickly. Read more
