1. American Education American Education
from McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages
Price: $58.01

Customer Review:
As a conservative, I found the cover offensive. However, except for bashing the No Child Left Behind Act, the author comes across as politically neutral (compared to his documentaries, which are obviously liberal). Although there is a great deal of helpful information in the text, a price of more... more info

Something told me I should've saved this book for retirement. Joel Spring paints a rather disturbing picture of American education by asking the often overlooked question, Who controls our schools?

from McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages
Price: $45.00

Customer Review:
I was forced to read this book as the main text for a graduate level class in education, and I wish that I had dropped the course. Spring's version of the history of the American education system became tiresome and bland within the first fifty pages of the book.

So I got this book because of the movie. I struggled to read it. The author goes into tooooo much detail about things and it just drags on. She also writes the book for higher level readers which turns me off since there is toooo much detail

from Kaplan Test Prep

Customer Review:
Kaplan's "Sharp Writing" is a practical overview of grammar and usage, but is quite basic. If you are looking for a book that will provide you with more "Style" advice than grammar, I would recommend Style: Toward Clarity and Grace (Chicago Guides to Writing, Editing, and Publishing). I would... more info

Customer Review:
The book is generally poorly written. It is extremely colloquial, and thus could be of use for teaching younger students. However, for an educated audience (college level), it is extremely weak and close to useless. I was assigned this book for an introductory writing course at my college and was... more info

from Cambridge University Press
Price: $83.99

Customer Review:
Jane Austen's first completed novel is lighter and more humorous in tone than her subsequent work. It is however, as beautifully written as that later work - there was, as always with Austen, a lot of rewriting before publication, which in this case was posthumous - and it is in no sense an inferior... more info

Research is most definitely a craft and as with all research books, there is a great deal written about scientific research and medical research. Generic research guides do little to offer help to Musicological research. Yet this is a helpful resource tool if taken generically.
