VIVA Travel Guides Peru: Exploring Machu Picchu, Cusco, the Inca Trail, Arequipa, Lake Titicaca, Lima and beyond Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Viva Travel Guides is the newest entrant in the crowded field of travel guidebooks. As can be said of many youngsters, it has potential but needs discipline and polish. Much of the writing is pedestrian, repetitive, and sloppy; the book is full of typos and bad grammar; and it contains some whoppers...

Representing: Hip Hop Culture and the Production of Black Cinema Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I highly recommend this book. It is very enjoyable and informative reading that is right on target for insight into the Black Urban Culture, the rise of Hip Hop and it's influence on Black produced American film. It was used as a main text for a Rap and Black Cinema university course successfully. Although...

Lonely Planet USA Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Whilst I didn't enjoy this guide as much as some of the other Lonely Planet books I have previously used, this was nonetheless a handy addition to a trip of nearly 3 months covering 9 States.Whilst I wouldn't recommend it for short trips or 1 state visits for longer trips then I think it is worth the...

On My Honor: Boy Scouts and the Making of American Youth Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is a very thoughtful, very provocative look at Scouting -- not only the Boy Scouts of America as an organization, but the experience of being a Scout for one troop of boys and their adult Scout leaders. The book keeps details of this experience in the foreground -- you really get to see what the...

Is It a Date or Just Coffee?: The Gay Girl's Guide to Dating, Sex, and Romance Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Forty years of heterosexual living did not prepare me for the dilemma of discerning IS IT A DATE OR JUST COFFEE when I started dating women. Well, perhaps dating was too strong a word since it always seems to turn out to be coffee. When straight gals meet straight guys, they know what to expect. With...

David Busch's Sony Alpha DSLR-A350/A300/A200 Guide Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Once again, David Busch has broken away from the pack to provide a comprehensive, yet accessible guide to Sony's entry-level DSLR-A350, A300, and A200 cameras. It's much more thorough than any of the skimpy, "pocket-sized" guides, which are themselves usually nothing more than a rehash of the manual...

When in Mexico, Do as the Mexicans Do Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Although not a very big book, I found the information in 'When in Mexico' very accurate and very helpful. It was good to get some inside 'tips' that could save some embarrasment or hurt feelings when traveling in that great country, such as what time to arrive at someone's house for dinner, when it's...

Fodor's Costa Rica 2009 (Fodor's Gold Guides) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)" . . . let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of the heavens." -- Genesis 1:20For years our children, friends, neighbors, students, and acquaintances have extolled the many virtues of traveling to Costa Rica. There was only one problem: Each one described the country so differently that it...

During those undergraduate years, he will learn not only what to think, but how to think. Your student will question many things during college,...

Infinite Jest: A Novel Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)David Foster Wallace is a genius, and he knows it. But unlike other geniuses that you might know, he never tries to make you feel dumb. He just wants you to understand the same things that he does, so occasionally you'll feel out of your depth. But he's also a gifted writer, so odds are that you *will*...

When Couples Walk Together: 31 Days to a Closer Connection Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Hugh and Cindi McMenamin have served in ministry for more than 20 years, and over the course of those years have had many opportunities to observe and counsel married couples who feel they are drifting apart and can't really explain why. In WHEN COUPLES WALK TOGETHER, the McMenamins have created a very...

Gridiron Leadership: Winning Strategies and Breakthrough Tactics Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Gridiron Leadership is an excellent book! In every corporate environment, success or failure boils down to two things, the quality of your plan and, more importantly, your execution of that plan or early recognition of plan change. As in a football game, you can have the best play book, with great plays...

Managing and Organizations: An Introduction to Theory and Practice Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)So as to respond to the exigencies of globalization, the world of managing, managers and management has substantially changed in the last two decades or so. While some say that management discourse is to be viewed from the post-modernist perspective; others argue that we are reverting back to basics...

John Donne - The Major Works: including Songs and Sonnets and sermons (Oxford World's Classics) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)John Donne wrote some of the most beautiful, intelligent, and passionate poetry in the English language! With some poets you get 1 or 2 of these qualities: with Donne you get all 3, and so I highly recommend his poetry to all lovers of poetry and English literature. The language is archaic and at times...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is the first book I have read that really covers most if not all aspects of Spiritual Maturity. From the point of view of Parenting, Pastoring and or even the child's, all the bases are covered. The transparency and character of Patty and Greg make this a fun, interesting and a book that goes beyond...
