Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Joe Queenan has written the ultimate sports fan book. True Believers is dedicated to the real sports fan.

The Rough Guide to Croatia (Rough Guides) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is the most comprehensive guide in terms of giving you an overall picture of Croatia, including history, culture, and useful language translations.

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)All of these in the Oxford English Drama series are well worth the money. Thank heavens (and Oxford) that they are in print at this price.

Branded Male: Marketing to Men Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I have to admit, I'm one of those tough sells Mark Tungate writes about in BRANDED MALE: MARKETING TO MEN. I hate shopping and see it only as an evil necessity.

How to Write a Mystery Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Simply put, Beinhart's book is one of the best "How to Write..." books I have ever read.

Wilt, 1962: The Night of 100 Points and the Dawn of a New Era Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I loved this book! Initially I thought -- no way would I read a book on Wilt and basketball history. Then, I stumbled across a two page preview in Parade Magazine and thought-this guy can write! Pomerantz' interesting storytelling immediately captivated me. The most compelling for me, a non basketball...

The Cultural Nature of Human Development Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Rogoff's acclaimed concepts about how human development and culture naturally intertwine unfold in a highly intricate matter within this text.
