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 chapter summaries are two pages of fill-in-the blank guesswork, half-referencing the material in the book. Literally, most of it is a blank essay with a few sentences expecting you to fill in. 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. My school did not offer it until the 8th quarter (2 years after start date), so by then the students...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)When I took digital design class, I struggled to find a book that is easy to understand.

It has lots of colorful...

The Oxford Spanish Dictionary : Spanish-English/English-Spanish Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)After reviewing a lot of dictionaries, each one claiming to be the best and most authoritative in its kind, my choice was the Oxford Spanish Dictionary.

No more were performers advised that a faux wrinkle was effectively portrayed by a pencil...

101 Grade a Resumes for Teachers Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)As educators know, it can be difficult to put together a resume filled with all that goes into teaching: classroom, coaching, club advisor, education, licenses, etc. This book not only tells the career educator what to include, it helps weed out unnecessary information. With sections such as Production...

H-Point: The Fundamentals of Car Design & Packaging Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is a great reference book. But so as to not cause any confusion, this is NOT an instructional guide on how to draw and design cars. It is rather a reference guide filled with info and facts that you should keep in mind when designing cars. If you are looking for a book that has step by step instructions...

Heavy Duty Truck Systems Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)We used this book in our diesel technician class. The book gives you an excellent introduction to every aspect of a heavy-duty truck.
