Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This third edition is much more readable than the second edition.

Style: Ten Lessons in Clarity and Grace (7th Edition) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I taught writing for 10 years at the University of California, and tried a variety of books.

Fundamentals of Environmental Chemistry, Second Edition Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is one of the most confusing chemistry books I have ever read.

The problems and questions section references...

Modern Electronic Communication Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I believe the mistake that many schools make is using this book too soon with students, and that is why they are confused and complain that this is not for students of "basic" electronic communication.
