Review:"Daisy Miller" is Henry James' 1883 best-seller, a short but well-written novelette about the adventures of a young American woman in Europe. Miss Daisy Miller is a free spirit in an age thoroughly bound up in strict manners, at least for upper class females. She comes and goes more or less as she pleases, with whom she pleases. The story is told by a Mr. Winterbourne, a young American ex-patriate who takes an interest in Daisy but finds her behavior confusing and challenging. They meet in a... Read more
Review:Really enjoyed this book, makes you think about what is happening in this day and age. Scary that people can be taken in with promises of better time ahead. It shows what can happen when we, as the people, take a stand for our believe, knowing right from wrong. Read more
Review:Bill Bryson's latest book is the story of the founding of the Royal Society of London, a unique group if there ever was one. Founded in 1660, it has done more to advance science than any other institution in the world including all the great English universities, including the great German institutions of the late 19th and early 20th centuries where so much applied science was achieved, and including our finest schools in the early part of this century.

Review:Thank you Oscar Wilde!! I loved reading this book while waiting in line for the Toronto Film Festival movies to start..... I have so many nuggets from my recent indulgence of Oscar Wilde's witty, fun, original, and rhythmical play, "The Importance of Being Earnest".
Every phrase and expression is a thought worth enjoying and applying to our life today. The play on words, the glittering conversation, the unexpected turn of phrases, it's deliciously clever and a classic it remains forever. ... Read more
Review:Oscar Wilde must have been quite the character in his day. This play about mistaken identity is not only laugh out loud funny but cutting at the same time. He skewers the upper class with his observations about their behaviour. No wonder it has been done in countless theaters over the years and been made into at least one film that I can think of.

Review:This version of play was good and the actors captured the tone of the play well. The actors playing Lady Bracknell, Gwendolen Fairfax and Cecily Cardew were very good. The male characters were portrayed at an acceptable level but not was good as the female characters. I would recommend this version. Read more

Review:I have used this book in my Biology class twice so far and I love it! One thing that my friends and I found is that you should really read the directins on the first page because if you don't you could mess up the whole book. The major two things is that u need to remember to use pen and to rip out the periodic table to put inbetween the sets of copies so that they don't bleed through. Its really a great tool for school!

Review:It was very useful during my lab section. The only problem I had was that I forgot to place the divider or wrote on top of the sheets as I did my calculations, which left many marks behind. In all, it was very useful. Read more
Review:Covered the evolutionary process thoroughly from day one to today. I learned of eras I had no idea existed. Seems like our schools can't go back beyond dinosours. I had no idea of the formation of the moon and its relationship with earth. I listened to the story as an audio book, then I had to get an ebook copy. Read more
