Barron's SAT Subject Test Math Level 2 Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Other reviewers have hinted at it, and I'll go ahead and state it explicitly: this book is overkill. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, though. The book provides a very detailed review of the math on the test, and the practice tests are far more difficult and involved than the actual test.If you're...

College and Workplace Writing Guide Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This product is exactly what I needed. The professor decided at the last min to include this book and the bookstore did not have any in stock. I ordered this book on Monday and it was delivered on Wednesday (right on time for my first assignments). This is the first good experience I have had with Amazon....

Writing for the Technical Professions (3rd Edition) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This textbook shares some useful information, but at times I feel myself saying "well, duh - that's just commons sense." Some sections feel a bit wordy and cluttered. I thinks it's pretty comical that the first sections of the book talk about organizing your ideas before you begin writing, but some places...

The Handbook of Technical Writing, Seventh Edition Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)As a technical writer, I've found this book to be just that. While it definitely is not a "how to write technical manuals" type of book, the topics and material covered make it well worth having on any writer's bookshelf. And in this latest edition, not only have the editors done another great job, the...

Communicating Technical Information: A Guide for the Electronic Age Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This book is very useful for engineering students or practising engineers who wish to possess excellent technical communication/writing skills. It will put to shame any engineer who claims that scientific mind can't be expected to be too literate. It is so comprehensive, touching upon all aspects of...

Technical Drawing 101 with AutoCAD Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I've made it a point to keep track of CAD manuals out there. True that there are many larger, more robust publishers, but none break it down like Doug and Antonio here in this book. It is a beginning book for CAD users. You want to know how to get things started, well you can follow right along with...

Algebra: A Combined Approach (Custom Edition for Roane State Technical Community College) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)What can I say? This book is neither good, nor bad. It is just your typical textbook, written by the typical math teacher. It could do with a lot more explanations, but I guess that's what going to class is all about.Click Here to see more reviews about: Algebra: A Combined Approach (Custom Edition for...

FOCUS on College Success Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)My daughter's university was requiring this book, but at a $45 plus shipping price tag and only available through the publisher's website. When we found out she could use last year's book, it was a great way to save money. Though it came in from someone who went to the University of West Virginia, my...

SAT II: Chemistry (REA) -- The Best Test Prep for the SAT II (SAT PSAT ACT (College Admission) Prep) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Don't get me wrong. REA is an excellent AP History preparation book. But, when it comes to the SAT II Subject Tests, the REA books are nothing in comparison to Barrons and Kaplan. REA does not go into depth. The organization of the book is poorly put together. Unlike REA, Barrons starts off their book...

Internships: Theory And Practice (Baywood's Technical Communications) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Internship is common concept in various fields, but it need more elaboration to distinguish with a similar term "mentoring". Instead of convincing the reader to accept a vague term, this book definitely provides a framwork for exploring the theory and practice of internship. Either the articles or books...

Pocket Guide to Technical Writing Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This book is small and great. I learned a great deal from this book, about grammar, spelling, punctuation, and capitalization, among other things. This book, if studied and mastered, greatly improves one's techical writing technique. The section on English as a second language leaves a bit to be desired,...

Technical Communication (10th Edition) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)John Lannon was a successful author of a college writing and composition textbook. He then created various spinoffs so that his publisher could cover more markets: business writing, technical writing, and so on (for both college and high school). So he's really not a current specialist in technical writing,...

Technical Drawing Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This text was the basic drafting manual that I used during my technical education; its use did not end with school, however, since I refer to it frequently in my occupation. It tells everything that needs to be explained and described in the general drawing problems that might be encountered in industrial...
