.Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association
City Travel Guides > Books > Research
by: American Psychological Association

2001-07
Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association is a very good book for people who want to publish and need to know the nuts and bolts. It uses simple language. Its non-linearity is its main strength becuase it directs the reader to the specific topic needed. It is a good academic investment.

I have used this text when tutoring individual students at the undergraduate and graduate level. I have also used it extensively in my management development classses featuring writing. It is superb,clearly written with almost brazen simplicity. It is the special gift that I give to students and trainees to keep for a lifetime.

.The Chicago Manual of Style
City Travel Guides > Books > Research
from: University Of Chicago Press

August 01, 2003
I love reference books. I had an editing job that required me to have "15" so I had the perfect excuse to buy it. But what a difficult book to use. I had to check a few relatively easy things, and one or two obscure things. If the answer wasn't where I'd think it should be the book directed me elsewhere, an elsewhere where it was also difficult to find what I needed. It sure looks good, but....

Let's face it, nobody likes doing APA, but if you have to do it, this is the best tool around. It is portable and easily searched and covers all situations, no matter how archiaic.

.Epidemiology: with STUDENT CONSULT Online Access
City Travel Guides > Books > Research
by: Leon Gordis

May 14, 2008
I agree with most of the other reviews here and also think this is a good introductory text. If you can get past the bad jokes and frequent references to Christianity, its clearly written and has good examples. However, this 4th edition is a classic example of an author repackaging an old textbook as a new edition and trying to make money off of it. Gordis claims that the 4th edition has many changes, but in reality the chapters are the same and only a few less significant references have been updated. My advice is to save your money and buy the third edition - just as good and much cheaper.
