Review:This was suggested to my by my professor and I really don't feel like it gives me anything I haven't already learned in my undergrad and now grad classes in counseling. For a non student I can see where this could be helpful. Read more

Review:I first discovered this treasure in 1971 (19th paperback printing). I wished then that I knew about it from its first printing in 1940 (a pretty impressive feat given that I was born in 1942). This edition adds the convenience of being able to read it on my computer or phone--so I always have it with me.

This is the book that teaches you how to read difficult books on any topic and make sense of them. If you want to read for understanding and enlightenment, this is the book for you. Read more

Review:If you want to increase your vocabulary and enjoy being challenged; this is the book for you. Once you pick it up you will not want to put it down. It is awesome! You will learn 1000 words in no time flat. It is highly interactive. I had this book and brutally used it. I had to purchased a new one. There are quizzes and exams. You will have many experiences of hearing new words you learned and when you do you will have an aHa! moment. Your vocabulary will increase and you will surprise y... Read more

Review:I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was the first book that I read by Os Guinness. I really enjoyed his discussion about the "poles of unbelief." People who are outside the Christian worldview and who seek to understand the worldview (as they may any religious worldview) vary to one pole or another (dilemma verse diversion). I thought this was a keen insight by Os. It's apparent that he has interviewed and interacted with those who have questions (and not opinions) about Christianity. He he... Read more

Review:Even with amusing illustrations, this is still a tough topic. As a former computer programmer, program analyst, etc., I was intrigued by the idea of an illustrated book on fallacious reasoning written by a programmer, but it's not as simple and easy as it sounds. The order of presentation of each of the fallacies was sometimes confusing in that some examples of faulty reasoning referenced in the explanations had not yet been introduced. Assumes readers have previous knowledge/familiarity with... Read more

Review:First let me say I love the Living Language series. I am huge language enthusiast and I have used many of Living Language's products (Living Language Arabic, Ultimate Arabic, Ultimate French, both versions of Living Languages for Hindi, Spoken World Farsi) and although I love them they are not always good. I go this one for Christmas and I can't put it down! I have finished the first part of Genki last year (which is another awesome textbook for Japanese) but although I finished it I still felt ...

Review:This was my first purchase after I decided to learn Korean. I studied on my own with these books for 3 months and was perpetually confused. Their explanation of the rules of liaison and the difference between 있다 and 이다 were less than helpful. There were never enough details and I had difficulty finding answers to my many many questions. I never progressed past the first book and almost gave up studying. I found online conversation partners and they led me to TTMIK.com where you can get FREE... Read more

Review:Young woman is taken advantage of by an older married man of means who falls madly in love with her. His good fortune turns into tragedy while her fortune turns into success due to her beauty and ability to act on the stage. This was quite controversial when first published in 1900. The author provides a narrative along with the plot, providing philosophical and psychological input into the actions of the characters. Interesting. Read more

Review:The jokes are pretty funny. Pretty much all of the jokes actually have to do with a Dad. People say my humor is a "Dad joke" so i thought the book was metaphorical for being cheesy jokes, not actually DAD jokes. Haha but its still corny either way so I'm not mad. It's for my dad for christmas so I think he will like it Read more

Review:We've heard all the lies before, but after reading this book you will be able to match what you are hearing with the patterns they mention. It will be harder for someone to deceive you precisely because lies fit into patterns, which for some reason liars all use. Read more
