.Person-Centred Counselling in Action (Counselling in Action series) (Counselling in Action series)
City Travel Guides > Books > Social Sciences
by: Dave Mearns, Brian Thorne

May 18, 2007
This is one of the recommended texts for the certificate in counselling skills, which I am taking. It is very easy to read, and has some great examples, as well as bringing up some challenging issues for would be counsellors to help them to determine whether counselling would be for them. Perhaps some of the examples are a little extreme, but it does provide wonderful food for thought. Structurally, it follows and describes the person-centred approach one step at a time, and is therefore a good textbook for a course. If you are thinking about person centred counselling as a training or career option, this would be a good way to introduce yourself to the topic.

.Good Essay Writing: A Social Sciences Guide (Published in association with The Open University)
City Travel Guides > Books > Social Sciences
by: Peter Redman

December 13, 2005
I dont often write reviews but after recieving a 100% for my last asssignment by using this book, i thought i must write something. (My previous grades had ranged from 70-85%, so this was an incredible jump which i could never have dared hope for. In all of my assignments i knew my subject and was familiar with the various studies, but structuring and knowing how to put it all together is a different ballgame altogether. This is where Redman's book comes in.

This book was recommended to me by my tutor and every time i've gone through it, i'm always taking something new. It was the example of a top level essay that clinched my grade for me. Seeing a practical example on how to pull all the different essay components put together really ... Read More:

.The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat (Picador)
City Travel Guides > Books > Social Sciences
by: Oliver Sacks

November 07, 1986
Fairly well written, and as someone who has no prior background in this field, it was easy to understand and descriptive enough to be interesting. it was not too technical that i got bogged down with terms, unlike some other neurology books i've read.

.The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference
City Travel Guides > Books > Social Sciences
by: Malcolm Gladwell

February 14, 2002
A short review this, but an intelligently written book, and a book that can appeal to most people; whether they want to know how trends start, through to a business which is trying to go to the next level, but is not succeeding because they have not found the little thing that will make the big difference.

A truly engaging page-turner and solely recommended
