October 25, 2001
Nice dictionary for the price but many words I have looked up are just not there.

If you are new to the subject perhaps give this one a miss, but if you have been studying the subject for some time and are looking for your first dictionary go for it.

.The Creative Writing Coursebook: Forty Authors Share Advice and Exercises for Fiction and Poetry
City Travel Guides > Books > Directories
from: Pan Books

August 10, 2001
This book won't write your novel for you. It won't tell you how to get it published. But what it will do is guide new (and not so new) writers through the essentials.

If you have a great idea for a story and are basically literate, this book is a very good way to turn out an excellent book. It guides writers through the basics of plot and character, point of view and setting, and through to those final elements such as rewriting and editing many writers try to avoid. It is thorough and understandable, and, being written by a wide variety of accomplished professionals rather than just one know-it-all, it provides the best advice available from many sources.

It is often partnered with What If?: Writing Exercises for Fiction ... Read More:

.The Writer's Handbook 2009: 816
City Travel Guides > Books > Directories
by: B. Turner

July 25, 2008
I bought the 2001 version when I was a student and purchased this one because I wanted to get back into writing again. It has definately improved with age and still contains every contact an aspiring writing could ever need. There's a very in-depth article in this addition on the UK tax implications for the writer which I found interesting (perhaps, that says more about the reviewer than the book!).

Would highly recommend and best to read with a notepad, pen and highlighter handy.

.Illustrated Dictionary of Maths (Usborne Illustrated Dictionaries)
City Travel Guides > Books > Directories
by: Kirsteen Rogers

November 24, 2006
I bought this because my own school maths wasnt brilliant.. of course much was forgotten when I didnt use it and now I have children Im being asked to help!
My daughter (11) constantly dips into it. Its not like a 'textbook'which you might find in school, its informative and clear with steo by step explainations and diagrams which are very easy to follow and useful.
I really wish this had existed when I was in school! I can see it being useful when shes sitting her GCSE maths!

.Taking Minutes of Meetings (Creating Success)
City Travel Guides > Books > Directories
by: Joanna Gutmann

May 03, 2006
The unsung hero of any corporate meeting is the minute-taker, quietly and diligently recording the decisions, big and small, that fuel the engines of business. Minute-taking is not simply the process of scribbling notes on a pad. A skilled minute-taker distills lengthy discussions down to their essential messages, and creates order and harmony from the often discordant process of reaching a consensus. Office communication consultant Joanna Gutmann carefully explains every aspect of the process, from setting up the meeting and distributing the agenda to taking notes and formatting the minutes. You will encounter quite a bit of redundancy if you read the book cover-to-cover, but we believe you will find it to be an indispensable reference if you are assigned to ... Read More:
