5.		Simple & Direct from Harper Perennial Price: $10.36 Customer Review: "Simple and Direct" has a well deserved reputation for anyone wanting to improve their writing skills.

6.		The House of Intellect (Perennial Classics) from Harper Perennial Modern Classics Price: $11.16 Customer Review: If this is a paperback then it is not a 1st edition copy of this book. The first edition is a hardcover cloth bound book. Harper & Brothers Publishers, New York. 1959	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		The Use and Abuse of Art (A.W. Mellon Lectures in the Fine Arts) from Princeton University Press Price: $18.95 Customer Review: I first read "Barzun" while attending university in Los Angeles (UCLA) in 1970. UCLA was closed down for a few days while fatuous and noisy students and other hangers on disrupted courses and the university. Finally, and rather quickly, most courses returned to normal. My four professors all... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		Men, Women and Pianos: A Social History from Dover Publications Price: $14.96 Customer Review: Very dry. Textbook like. I find the information interesting but the book is hard to read.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

10.		A Stroll with William James from University Of Chicago Press Price: $12.24 Customer Review: This biography inspires. Obtain a copy and read it. It made me wish that I had known James, perhaps as one of his students at Harvard during "the nineties". He was a great mind and a great man, or as Barzun calls him, "the magnanimous man": a "loveable genius" and a true hero. If someone who comes... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


11.		A Jacques Barzun Reader: Selections from His Works (Perennial Classics) from Harper Perennial Modern Classics Price: $12.76 Customer Review: Jacques Barzun is sort of the social sciences' equivalent of Harold Bloom, albeit less personally and intellectually noxious. He is, however, the quintessential living `Dead White Male' scholar whose knowledge about his subject matter is very broad- he can write seemingly convincingly on opera,... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


12.		TEACHER IN AMERICA from Liberty Fund Inc. Price: $10.20 Customer Review: Mr Barzun has all my admiration. I agree with somebody's words below: "down-to-earth, full of common sense, and brilliantly lucid", and whatever more you want to add he's got it. But, what he talks about is utopia, antient history -the way our educational history develops. It just doesn't apply. One... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


13.		Classic, Romantic, and Modern (Phoenix Books) from University Of Chicago Press Customer Review: EXCELLENT! EXCELLENT! EXCELLENT! Three enthusiastic cheers for the wisdom contained in this book, and of course its author, Jacques Barzun. Coming from the point of view of a thoughtful newcomer to the discourse of culture and society, this book is an eye-opening, and incredibly useful find. I must... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


14.		Modern American Usage: A Guide from Hill & Wang Customer Review: As one who thinks it necessary to own every major English usage manual from Fowler on, I here state the firm opinion that Follett is the best of the reasonably contemporary examples and second only to Fowler. Follett is more erudite, more complete (not more comprehensive, I grant), and more... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


15.		Rameau's Nephew, and Other Works from Hackett Publishing Company Price: $10.75	Click here for more information


16.		Begin Here: The Forgotten Conditions of Teaching and Learning from University Of Chicago Press Customer Review: At long last, a book on education that does not skirt the issues or waste the reader's precious time on experimental proposals with no proven effectiveness! Begin Here (sorry--don't know how to italicize on the 'net) is a series of articles and essays written over the years on the subject of... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


17.		Darwin - Marx - Wagner - Critique Of A Heritage from Barzun Press Price: $31.45 Customer Review: "The attack on Marx is so crude and uninformed that one suspects that the author did not even read some of Marx's basic writings, and the use of ....Michael Bakunin as a source for Marx's character is questionable at best." - Bakunin and Marx were quite alike and this is most likely that which... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


18.	[no image]	Wilson Follett Modern American Usage from FARRAR STRAUS & * GIROUX	Click here for more information


19.		The Penguin Encyclopedia of Horror and the Supernatural from Viking Adult Customer Review: A quite useful book, multi-media in the sense that in mentions films, but has a very good coverage of books, and has 'thematic' or subject settings, too. Well worth investigating.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
