.Critical Reading Workbook for the SAT (Critical Reading Workbook for the Sat)
City Travel Guides > Books > Reference
by: Sharon Weiner Green, Mitchel Weiner

February 01, 2006
I teach SAT prep/review classes independently, and have been using the Barron's workbook for several years. The material is challenging, and provides students with a large number of high-frequency SAT words used in context. The vocabulary lists, root origins of words, and practice tests are all excellent.

.Quick Reference to the Diagnostic Criteria from DSM-IV-TR (Quick Reference to the Diagnostic Criteria from Dsm)
City Travel Guides > Books > Reference

Recently misplaced my DSM-IV quick-reference manual and needed one desperately for my work. Ordered from Amazon and had my replacement within a week. This little book is a must when you are working within a tight schedule so I really appreciate having Amazon and its sellers as a resource for replacing hard to find items such as the DSM-IV manual.

.They Say/I Say: The Moves That Matter in Academic Writing
City Travel Guides > Books > Reference
by: Gerald Graff, Cathy Birkenstein

September 01, 2005
Well, ok, here's my argument.

I say what is lacking in Gerald Graff's teaching philosophy is vision.

As president of the MLA Graff is a widely respected and influential figure, but what is lacking in his many books and articles is a vision of the intellectual life that transcends the kind of partisan bickering that marks so much of public life in American politics and education and media and champions the kind of broad-mindedness that sees beyond divisions and polarities (which are sometimes deep but often superficial) and works toward a higher synthesis, a larger vision, a longer view.

For example: A superficial gloss of the the culture wars would see two sides arguing from incommensurable positions, but if ... Read More:

.Kaplan GMAT 800, 2008-2009 Edition (Kaplan Gmat 800)
City Travel Guides > Books > Reference
by: Kaplan

March 04, 2008
This book is good for some extra questions, but it by no means contains the hardest questions. Like numerous other reviewers of GMAT books have mentioned, the best prep is to use the official GMAT book. For the toughest questions, I would recommend doing the two tests you can download for free from mba.com when you sign up. Do those tests multiple times because while some questions remain the same, the majority change. If you get better, you'll get to the harder questions. The questions in the Kaplan GMAT 800 are of moderate difficulty. They may be somewhat hard from a straight math point of view, but the questions on the actual GMAT are slightly different and trickier in nature. As far as the strategies go, there were a couple useful ones, although they ... Read More:

.Career Match: Connecting Who You Are with What You'll Love to Do
City Travel Guides > Books > Reference
by: Shoya Zichy, Ann Bidou

February 09, 2007
Was a regretful purchase even at the reduced rate that I purchased it at. Only about 10 pages of the approx. 250 in the book apply to each specific type. It offers little to no more than what can be found on free online personality page under recommended career paths.
