This is the book to buy on teaching this subject. It is clearly written, beautifully laid out and provides self assessment exercises to work through in order to clarify what has just been read. There are more provided on the cd rom at the back of the book too. If you are teaching this subject for the first time, moving up or down years or simply want to refresh your knowledge and rekindle your enthusiasm then this is the book for you.

.Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine (Oxford Handbooks Series)
City Travel Guides > Books > Books for Study Special Offers
by: Murray Longmore, Ian Wilkinson, Tom Turmezei, Chee Kay Cheung

January 04, 2007
Have had every edition and I still carry a copy in my bag. Anyone doing acute takes who thinks they don't need to reflect on some aspects of some cases will come to grief. I am reassured when I see junior docs carrying a well worn copy.

.Mind Over Mood: Change How You Feel By Changing the Way You Think
City Travel Guides > Books > Books for Study Special Offers
by: Christine A Padesky, Dennis Greenberger

May 10, 1995
This is an excellent book to make you realise how your feelings are determined by your thoughts, and how you can positively influence your mood by changing the way you think. Some self-help books don't deliver because they're too vague but this book is also very practical, with many useful exercises. It's no wonder that many people are so enthusiastic about CBT and talking about it as an alternative to medication. I do not suffer from depression and was always a fairly happy person but this book has taught me how to be happier still. I would also recommended Eckhart Tolle's the Power of Now for a slightly different perspective and Steve Taylor's Making Time Making Time: Why Time Seems to Pass at Different Speeds and How to Control It for an invesigation ...

.Learning to Teach in the Secondary School: A Companion to School Experience (Learning to Teach in the Secondary School Series)
City Travel Guides > Books > Books for Study Special Offers
from: Routledge

May 26, 2005
This book is recommended by the Bristol PGCE. The book is ok, with some useful information - but it is quite dull. I did find it useful when writing all the essays for the PGCE course.

.The Study Skills Handbook (Palgrave Study Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > Books for Study Special Offers
by: Stella Cottrell

April 25, 2003
I am a mature student and was advised to buy this when I started my Access to HE course many years ago. I dutifully went and bought it alongside The Good Study Guide by Andrew Northedge and I have to say that this book is worth its weight in gold compared to the book by Northedge. This is not a comparison so I shall move on to say that every aspect of study - whether its organizing your time, planning backwards from deadlines, learning how you study best or even looking at personal development is covered in this excellent resource. It is designed in a user-friendly way which allows you to either read it all the way through or dip in and out of it depending on your needs.The book is designed in a clever way with charts, pictures, examples etc and it's glittered ...

.101 French Idioms (101... Language Series)
City Travel Guides > Books > Books for Study Special Offers
by: Jean-Marie Cassagne, Luc Nisset

January 01, 2000
I'm not a French speaker or learner myself, but bought this as a gift for a friend who is tackling the language. I'm sure they'll enjoy it as it's quite fun compared to the dry language texts I had to wade through at school. It's interesting to see that some French idioms are quite similar to ours but have an unusual slant. For example, where we have 'Pushing up the daisies', they have 'Eating the daisies from the roots up'; we write 'Rubber cheques', and they write 'wooden' ones (like taking a 'wooden nickel'?). Others are quite surreal 'Falling backwards into apples' sound quite painful, but to the French this is a soft landing. Although it's amusing, the text is scholarly enough to be useful to the serious student and the cartoons are excellent. You can't argue with the ... Read More:

.Of Mice and Men: With Notes (Longman Literature Steinbeck)
City Travel Guides > Books > Books for Study Special Offers
by: John Steinbeck, Jim Taylor

September 01, 2000
There's no question about it - this is a quality book, and I'm not only talking about John Steinbeck's amazing writing talent, I'm talking about the GCSE help inside it. I made me really understand the book as well as enjoy it massively.

Just buy it, and it's good value as always on Amazon!

.Collins Easy Learning French Dictionary (Easy Learning Dictionary)
City Travel Guides > Books > Books for Study Special Offers
from: Collins

April 25, 2007
I have a copy of a previous edition of this 'easy learning' dictionary and a friend has the penultimate one to this latest copy. As such, I feel well-versed to comment...
This new release is excellent. My wife and I, both in our 50's, are learning the language and we find this dictionary more than just a resource for looking up the meaning of words. It is a big help to us with our verb tables, especially the tenses and gives good grammatical breakdowns on many aspects of the language.
Perhaps if there was more help with pronounciations, it could claim to be a language course in one book. But that aside, it is very, very, good value and we both love referring to it at every opportunity. Definitely five stars from us!
