Trees, leaves, and bark are cool........2007-03-09

This book is so interesting. There is so much information inside this little book it is just great. Easily readable for kids and tells them everything they could want to know about trees, from the very top, to the very bottom. Makes a walk through the woods so much fun, being able to point out all the different trees and seeds you now know from reading this book. We love it!

Book Description

Today's travelers are a sophisticated lot. Demanding and design-savvy, they have been ill-served by a travel-guide market saturated with text-heavy tomes, none of which has catered to the selective, style-conscious traveler—until now. A revolution in travel publishing, StyleCity is doing for the world's premier destinations what Hip Hotels has done for the world's top hotels.

San Francisco, epicenter of digital culture and the most elegant of Pacific cities, is an urbanista's marvel. With striking topology, colorful neighborhoods and people, and an irresistible romance, it has everything for even the most jaded world traveler. StyleCity San Francisco presents the city's highlights, from epicurean surprises to sophisticated California boutiques and bistros, from cult museums to over-the-top hotels—places to be found only in San Francisco. 400 color illustrations and 6 maps.

Elegantly captured essence of San Francisco.......2004-12-06

This is the only "shop-listing guide book" that I keep ready for visitors, which I supply along with a MUNI map and a selection of history and walking tours. In other words, this book cannot stand alone for a visitor.

Included are great photographs, and it works well as a starting point for discussion regarding what to do and see in the city.

The choice of listings in this book is excellent, varied between well-known and not-as-well-known shops. The short writeups of the neighborhoods contain all the useful bits, and the specific location information is well written and generally provides a enough insight that you come away with the impression of knowing just enough to be dangerous (or make conversation, or ask questions.) This is a good thing.

That said, while the listings and photos are high quality, they don't really mesh well together, particularly in the "Street Wise" neighborhood section. It's hard to get a feel for the neighborhoods from the photos alone, and what each actual photograph refers to is not always obvious.

If you know someone who is familiar with the city to look through the book with you, or you already know the city's basics, or you just want to be reminded of how wonderful of a city San Francisco is, it's hard to go wrong with this choice.

Book Description

Michael Massey's thorough and provocative account is an ideal resource book for students following courses in classical studies and classical civilization. It draws on a wide range of contemporary quotations and is well illustrated with examples of original painting and sculpture. The book is divided into two sections--on Greece and on Rome--with material organized under thematic headings, ranging from religion to exploitation, entertainment to employment.

Helpful advanced history text to cover 20th century topics.......2006-04-15

I teach International Baccalaureate history at one of the top schools in the world, and this book makes a nightly trek home with me. Students in IB or even AP Euro would have a hard time finding another source as rich as Walsh's effort. It is packed with helpful analysis, documents, quotes, review materials, wtc. I have used it to prepare for each of my senior level topics this year, such as WW1, Nazi Germany, the USSR, WWII, and the Cold War.

This book would do a very adequate job in assisting anyone preparing to work with such material, and would be considered one of my three most vital texts I use.

excellent book.......2005-09-26

this is a very good history book. it explains things very clearly and is also visually pleasing.

the book uses a lot of primary/secondary sources, which is good because it makes students think more deeply about history.

A very good history book.......2005-08-03

When I studied in Singapore, it was my history textbook. But when I finished Grade 10, I needed to hand it back to School library.
But I really like it very much. It's a very good history book. It mainly tells about Modern History, contains Britain, China, the USA, the USSR, Germany, France and many ohter countries.
More important, the resources in the book are rich and vivid. A lot of quotes, pictures,letters and so on. They can help you to understand a lot of things more clearly.
So if you want to have a general idea about modern history, read it, you won't be disappointed.
Especially if you do not take history as your main subject, but still interest in it. It can help you very much.

ridiculous past review--a very good book.......2005-01-16

i have been a teacher for 4 years in international schools, and i think the previous review is written by someone with, to put is as politely as possible, very little common sense. i dont think the book is perfect, but it is useful for a variety of students, is interesting and informative without too much information, can be easily supplemented, and has a variety of useful homework assignments and activities for students to keep up with understanding or to be assigned by the teacher. the assanine charaterization of "rubbish" is far from the truth--read it for yourself.

Dont use this book.......2003-09-08

The GCSE TEXT book is rubbish. Dont use it.

Clear but doesn't oversimplify ..........2005-03-09

Can I recommend this book too many times?. I don't think so. In my opinion, Lowe's book is a great way to start studying history, or even to learn more if you have already started.

The reasons for that statement are many. "Mastering Modern World History" is clear but doesn't oversimplify the events it talks about. It isn't long, but it gives you a brief summary of the subjects under study and the motivation to investigate more. Also, I would like to point out that the author includes at the end of each chapter some interesting questions that are eerily similar to those a teacher might ask in an exam. If you are a student, don't panic: take advantage of this opportunity :)

"Mastering Modern World History" has many interesting illustrations, and also quite a few useful maps. This third edition includes relatively new historical events, for example the collapse of communism. All the same, I wish I could have the 4th edition, that unfortunately hasn't been published yet, because many relevant things have happened since 1997 and I would like to read about them here. That is the only reason I give this book 4 stars instead of 5.

To sum up, I think this is a wonderful book, and as such a great gift to yourself and others. Lowe manages to write clearly about subjects that are not simple, and surprisingly enough for those who aren't fond of history books, he also happens to write quite well. What else can I say?. Strongly recommended!.

The best modern history book.......2002-04-15

I would give this book 10 stars if it were possible, this is the best modern history book I have read so far. It's the perfect book for people who hated history at school and now find it difficult to understand modern world affairs. The author writes in a concise, to-the-point, clear way providing simple explanations to the most important events which took place during the 20th century: the two World Wars, Vietnam War, Cold War, Communism, Fascism, Decolonization, Middle-East, United Nations, etc. He also provides the reader with interesting questions, hyphotesis, excerpts, and pictures which make the reader "participate" in an original kind of way. If you are having trouble watching the news daily because you never quite understand the basis of current affairs and politics, this book will provide you with the necessary insight to better understand the world today.

Good study material.......2007-10-10

Nice series of books, these Old Master Portrait Drawings from Dover Art Library. Good material if you want to study portrait drawing. Good reproductions of the drawings. No text, only a short introduction from the publisher and titles with the drawings. The drawings say it all.

Old Master Portrait Drawings.......2000-03-26

As an art instructor I found this book to be a great resource for beginning students of portrait drawing. The variety of style and technique shown is excellent. A few of the portraits were less useful. An excellent value for the price.
