Clear concrete details make this book useful........1997-12-31

This step-by-step introduction of concrete strategies to enhance learning is based on sound theory. The stories themselves are what make the book come alive, however.

Excellent Resource.......1997-12-23

This well written book is an invaluable resource for me. I would recommend it to anyone interested in quality learning.

Book Description

The problem of Galileo's logical methodology has long interested scholars. In this volume William A. Wallace offers a solution that is completely unexpected, yet backed by convincing documentary evidence. His analysis starts with an early notebook Galileo wrote at Pisa, appropriating a Jesuit professor's exposition of the Posterior Analystics of Aristotle, and ends with one of the last letters Galileo wrote, stating that in logic he has been a Peripatetic all his life. Wallace's detective work unearths the complete logic course from which the notebook was excerpted, then proceeds to show how its terminology and methodology continue to surface in Galileo's later writings in which he founds his new sciences of the heavens and of local motion. The result is a tour de force that commends itself not only to Galileo's scholars and to logicians, philosophers, and historians, but to anyone interested in the epistemic roots of modern science.

There are picture books then there are picture books.......2000-11-11

This one is a keeper. You can tell that Mr. Pflughoft is not only familiar but passionate about his subject. It's hard for amateur photographers to find new shots of Yellowstone, that's why it's fun to pick up a book like this. We can be inspired to keep trying. Yeah, they do it for a living because they're good at it!

A Pictorial Tour.......2000-07-12

I found this book after two full days of seeing all the major sites in Yellowstone and feeling like I hadn't taken enough pictures. This book is a very comprehensive look at all the major attractions. The colors are vibrant and the captions are simple, leaving the picture to speak for itself. Most of the pictures are of the geographical features. The animal pictures show a nice variety of the animals living in Yellowstone. This book is a great collection of pictures to help me relive the experience called Yellowstone.

Great concept. Makes reading the rules much easier. Keeps well in your golf bag. Needs another revision, however, as there are some inconsistencies and some clarifications that need to be done.

Excellent Dictionary.......2007-10-18

Just what I needed for my desk at work. It's hard bound so it will handle a lot of use.

I ordered the item in your communication except with a CD included. The CD never showed up. You then sent a replacement with exactly the same result. After I called Amazon I was informed that you were out of the advertised item. I was then informed via email, to which no reply was allowed, twice, that I would be charged for the item and its replacement I can see that we will be having a battle royal with the credit card company as there is no way on God's green earth that I will pay anything for such absolutely lousy customer service.

Great resource of advanced ESL learners.......2007-08-09

Since I am an international student studying in the United States, my perspective is slightly different from those of other reviewers. If you are studying for standardized tests such as SAT or GRE, this is the ultimate authority you should refer to whenever you feel unsure on the exact meaning of vocabularies you encounter in past administrated tests. If you practice on questions on analogy for awhile, for example, you would discover that the ETS (Educational Testing Services), the maker of GRE and SAT, also relies intensively, although not thoroughly, on Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary definitions to design their questions. Only by referring to the MW can you truly understand why certain answer choice is correct, while others are not.

As a bonus, you also have exclusive rights to send inquires on difficult words to MW resourceful editors, a service I find extremely helpful. Although responses are slow (because of, surprisingly, numerous projects in Merriam-Webster Corporation), you will generally receive the most authoritative answers from the brightest people on the planet. As an ESL learner, I am deeply obsessed with the flexibility, inherent logic, and beauty of English language; all introduced by this enlightening tome.

A worthwhile purchase.......2007-08-04

I have been using this dictionary for many years. I have gone through a few editions. A couple of weeks ago I was looking for a word that this dictionary did not contain. I decided that it was time for a change. I purchased The New Oxford American Dictionary.

I found out that there are features that this dictionary has that The New Oxford American Dictionary, Second Edition does not contain. First of all, the thumb tabs are quite helpful and time saving. Next, would be the word origins, country and languages when applicable, and year that it actually became a word. Followed by the pronunciation keys and parts of speech. In some cases, they also have word variations.

The only reason that I had bought the Oxford one was because this dictionary has words missing that I feel should be included. If a larger more updated version of this becomes available, I will be happy to purchase it.

Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, 11th Edition.......2007-05-06

Excellent reference book that I use on a daily basis. Spell Check on my computer doesn't always have the answers to my horrific spelling ability. So having this reference book along with the Spell Check on my computer I can actually write an email, letter or report and impress everyone without looking like I have the worst spelling abilities this side of the Mississippi !!! LOL I should have purchased this book along time ago and now that I have I really have no idea what I did without this reference book all this time !!!

Book Description

This book brings together a range of sociologists and economists to study the role of demand and consumption in the innovative process. It begins with a broad conceptual overview of ways that the sociological and economics literatures address issues of innovation, demand, and consumption. It goes on to offer different approaches to the economics of demand and innovation through an evolutionary framework, before reviewing how consumption fits into evolutionary models of economic development.

Book Description

This book discusses the principles behind the politics of managing the global economic changes since World War II. Historical principles, key concepts and persistent trends are set in a context of adapting to global change without losing cultural identity. It discusses how the economic shifts in business cycles and global capital flows have had an impact upon the world economy and demonstrates the importance of "globalization" as a long-term process which has sped up, of late. The fast-forwarded process has shaped many international organizations and institutions in their scramble to catch up in this environment of change. Concepts for Monitoring Change. The Global Environment. Domestic Sources of National Economic Behavior. Cycles, Trends, Conclusions. For anyone interested in an in-depth discussion of global trends and politics.

Good PACE.......2000-09-29

As most of you MBA students will need to purchase this book because it's required, you probably have reservations about keeping it. After taking Isaak's class I can tell you that this was one of the most fascinating perspectives on the post cold war environment since reading "The Lexus and The Olive Tree". I'd suggest you actually read this one.

Book Description

These essays, written between 1978 and 1988, expand, revise, and apply Charles Kindleberger's influential ideas on the nature of economic crises and the possible sources of economic order in an increasingly interdependent world.

With sharp insight and a fluid style, Kindleberger looks at both present and past financial crises to determine what conditions have led to economic instability. The Great Depression is a starting point for his discussion; but he also looks at booms and busts as far back as 1720 and as recent as the October 1987 stock market crash. What lessons can we learn from this reexamination of past economic disruption? Kindleberger clearly sees a need to establish worldwide economic stability as a public good, and, in times of economic disruption, a need for leadership to set the global economy back on track.

Kindleberger's essays tie together major topics in modem economics and economic history. They have profound implications for international relations and political science, as economic stability becomes increasingly important and increasingly elusive in the world today.
