Review:I'm currently working on collecting some pieces of writing, hopefully to be placed in a book. I didn't begin this book with the idea that it would contribute to this project, but it ended up being an invaluable compliment to the book on writing I was reading at the same time.

I didn't have any knowledge of arguments before going into this book. (Though I do remember the mention of modus tollens, possibly from grade school?) I now plan to apply some of the practices presented in this book ... Read more

Review:Very accessible stories that will remind you of your parents' advice and/or a Biblical proverb! This book is not only a productive way to pass the time, but also an interesting way to examine your opinions and attitudes about a variety of subjects. Read more

Review:Bought for my new Great Grand Daughter..I had this book as a child and have purchased it for both of my children & grandchildren..No one will like all of the poetry but there are things they learn & never forget. They enjoy the pictures also Read more

Review:... a complete reference book. It doesn't have analysis, but has facts. Early times to current times, science to sport, government, economics, all the arts and much, much more, the statistics are here. Have a question? This book probably has the answer. I buy the newest edition every three or four years and give my older one away, making someone else happy too. Read more

Review:Arguably every reader of this review has been sick and seen by doctor at least once in his/her life. For us nonMDs it is critical to learn different ways how MDs are analyzing the situation and arriving to the conclusions. Read more

Review:This book colludes with people who want to be told how to live their lives. The "types" are cliches. And if you take the test more than once (as I did) you may find yourself becoming a different "type." The style and tone and slight defensiveness (because most people won't feel they are one "type") takes grievous advantage of the role of the "expert" in a profession that is not yet a science. Like many diet plans it assumes a nine to five world and is pitched to people in the frantic atmosp... Read more

Review:Nathan Pyle perfectly captures the challenges and rewards of life in NYC with advice that is as practical as it is funny. The underlying joy in this transplanted Ohioan's work shines through in an effort that makes two cities proud. Read more

Review:This is slightly shorter and thicker than New World Pocket Dictionary, which my 11 year-old son claimed "perfect size". It has some distinct features that we liked: 1. Pronunciations provided 2. Words with self-evident prefix are listed separately at the bottom of pages, which make true "new" words easier to spot. 3. Pages have rounded corners (think of iPhone), thus less prone to being creased. 4. It does have 40000 words, about 100 per page, a good overall size. 5. Less words on one page make... Read more

Review:I'm disappointed and will likely be returning this edition of the classic and groundbreaking Gray's Anatomy.

Quite simply, the book is too small and the typeface is approaching microfilm size font.

I hate to complain but this is not the first time I have had this type of disappointment with a book from Amazon. It's like the books are printed to order on a poor quality printer. Gone are the days when a book could be a sensual experience with that new pages smell, the thick paper, th... Read more

Review:Very thought provoking about normal, everyday life interactions, and how they might have gone better with a little more attention to what is said!
An easy read full of anecdotes that illustrate the points Dr. Schein is making. Read more
