.Official "Girls Aloud" Calendar 2009 (Calendar)
City Travel Guides > Books > Reference
from: Danilo

October 01, 2008
Barcode: 9781847702098

So, another year, another Girls Aloud calender. Last year's was really great and I loved the whole colourful oversized sweets theme, but with this year's calendar our 5 fave pop princesses really have excelled themselves.

This time round it's got a more mature feel to it, the Girls really glamming themselves up in some stunning outfits. This year's theme is a dingy old warehouse, all peeling walls and bits of old scrap metal. It gives the whole calendar a darker, more sultry theme and the end product looks amazing. As always with Danilo calendars, it's extremely well produced, the photography is top class and the paper durable and glossy.

I'm sure most fans will snap this up right ... Read More:

.The Language Instinct: The New Science of Language and Mind (Penguin science)
City Travel Guides > Books > Reference
by: Steven Pinker

March 30, 1995
I first read this book ten years ago when I started teaching English in various parts of the world. I thought it a wonder. We are hard-wired for grammar; it must be true. My students in Europe, Asia and the Middle-East begged to differ.

Now I'm studying for an MA in Linguistics and I beg to differ too.

Still, I think you should read this book; it's a fine piece of propaganda. Then read Jean Aitchison's 'The Articulate Mammal'; Reith lecturer, Oxford prof and so forth. Not so cool . . . but right.

.The Secret Life of Words: How English Became English
City Travel Guides > Books > Reference
by: Henry Hitchings

April 03, 2008
Has a comprehensive bibliography for future research, and two sets of indicies so can be used as a text book. However you can also read it as a story book. I was surprised just how fascinating the history and development of the concepts behind each of the words described turned out to be.

This is an amazing item, I have tried many diferent techniques to learn Italian and this is by far the best. I really do encourage you to buy this you won't regret it. The voices used are really good as well, they saying everything clearly allowing you to understand quicker. The music is also an added bonus it allows the words to stick in your brain faster, and makes the experience alot more enjoyable. With this product its not a matter of having to use it, but you want to use it. Fantastic.

.America Unchained: A Freewheeling Roadtrip In Search of Non-Corporate USA
City Travel Guides > Books > Reference
by: Dave Gorman

April 03, 2008
Dave Gorman for me is one of the founding fathers of the recent quest comedy novels that have filled my non-fiction shelves. With his `Are you Dave Gorman' and his `Googlewack Adventure' I was entertained and educated. `Unchained America' follows a similar path to these two earlier books, but with some major differences. Gorman has made TV shows out of all of his books, but whilst previously he adapted them using the photos and short films he made himself, this time he goes out to make a documentary. Unfortunately, this means that the book suffers.

I have not seen the TV show, but having read the book it seems like it was a difficult undertaking. Dave set out across America to go from the East coast to the West with only using unchained ... Read More:

.Collins Scrabble Dictionary
City Travel Guides > Books > Reference
by: Collins

March 06, 2006
This book seems to be exactly as described, and is perfect for UK Scrabble words. Bear in mind that this is not a comprehensive dictionary in so far as only words upto nine letters are included, and the descriptions are short. However it is great for Scrabble, and crucially includes all variations of a word such as plural, different tense etc. Fully worth the money!

This is a 'monster' of a tome, and probably the best single dictionary (and quite a bit more)resource you'll need.

Well worth the investment - go ahead an buy it, you'll be glad you did.

.How to Design and Report Experiments
City Travel Guides > Books > Reference
by: Andy Field, Graham J Hole

December 20, 2002
This book was a Godsend! Having just started in this subject and never having conducted an experiment before, I found this book invaluable. It takes you through everything step by step, even offering laughs along the way! Everything is explained fully yet made easy to understand. This has to be by far the best - and funniest - textbook I've ever owned!
I would definately reccommend anyone to buy this book, it is excellent.
