A Writer's Reference with 2009 MLA and 2010 APA Updates Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I teach developmental writing and English 101 at a community college.

It commits a sin all too many college texts commit...

McGraw-Hill's SAT Subject Test: Biology E/M, 2/E (McGraw-Hill's SAT Biology E/M) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Editors must've been napping on this one.

Essentials of College Mathematics (2nd Edition) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This textbook might be effective if accompanied by an excellent teacher; it is definitely not a sound choice for an online class.

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I used this book for TJ admissions review with my child. This is definitely not a starter book.

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)After receiving this textbook for my third level patternmaking course in design school, I managed to read through after the term was over and realized how much we had skipped over - this book is packed with how-to information on developing not only the basic block (bodice F/B, skirt F/B, fitted sleeve)...
