Essential Elements 2000: Book 1 (Flute) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This book was purchased solely on the basis that it was the one the band teacher at my daughter's school is using. However, being of a musical background myself, I can tell you with some authority that this book (and perhaps the whole series) is exactly what suited my 11-year-old's ability and enjoyment...

Frommer's New York City 2010 (Frommer's Color Complete) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Compared to older travel guides that are composed of hundreds of pages of solid text, opening Frommer's Color New York City is like discovering a party -- nearly every two-page spread is livened with a map, color photo, or sidebar. To be clear, it isn't like the lush DK Eyewitness series (which is image-heavy...

Gay Voices of the Harlem Renaissance (Blacks in the Diaspora) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I'm not sure why the other two reviewers found Christa Schwarz's Gay Voices of the Harlem Renaissance difficult to read.

The Modernist City: An Anthropological Critique of Brasilia Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)That book does a poor job in order to make the circumstances of the project and the construction of Brasília clear to the interested scholar - and to the general reader. Holston does the most complete reification of a modernist ideology embodied in Brasília, and treats it in an ideological way. That's...

Internet Yellow Pages, 2007 Edition Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The Internet Yellow Pages, 2007 Edition is an acceptable resource. It promotes inquiry of several websites I would have never (probably) find on my own.
