by: Nicholas J. Brown List Price: $17.00 Amazon.com's Price: $11.90 You Save: $5.10 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description I've compared dozens of books about learning Russian from scratch, and this one is the best. There are advanced grammar texts out there which have more information, but they aren't geared toward beginners. The beauty of this book is that if you know absolutely nothing about Russian, you can start at the beginning and work your way through each lesson in the order presented, and by the time you're done, you will have a solid understanding of Russian grammar. Not only that, but you'll have a vocabulary ... Read More  Read Reviews and Description

This book gives the foundation for reading Arabic script and recognizing essential words in the Arabic language. I did have the pronunciation of some words wrong, but it was easy to make corrections. Other methods will teach the grammar and phrases, but this book should be the first to buy. This book and the "Teach Yourself Gulf Arabic" have given me a basis for expanding my knowledge of the Arabic ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

It is a required reading at University of Chicago Executive MBA program, Competitive Strategy course. The content is quiet condense and within everybody's grasp. There is not much mathematical stuff inside, which is good ;-). It is true that there is much simplification in any game theory, but up to know that is the best possible explaination into the real world, there is no other way to understand the things better. It you are ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

Customer Reviews and Description I have an earlier edition of this book, but I assume not much has been changed in this edition. This book is a good, solid introduction to Spanish. It's not a quick fix - there's lots of grammar, vocab., dialogues, etc., but if you're willing to spend some time reading, memorizing, and practicing, this book has most of what you need to know to begin speaking grammatically correct Spanish.

Customer Reviews and Description I find this to be a great general resource for statistics, commentaries, and lots of other information. Outside of the scope of a resource such as "The Insider's Guide.." is an explanation of the real purpose of higher education, something you should understand when thinking about and choosing a college. As an advisor, a book I recommend that is excellent for that purpose is "West Point: Thomas Jefferson: Character Leadership Education" by Norman Thomas Remick.

Customer Reviews and Description Excellent book . . . maybe, too good! I became so distracted by all of the fascinating cultural and language information, immediately reading all of the side-bars and "cultural wisdom" parts cover to cover, that I forgot to learn any Latin in the process. This auxliary information alone is well worth the price I paid for the book. As for learning Latin, if I fail, the fault will be in my lack of knowledge of English grammar. This barrier has prevented easy access to other languages in the past. Perhaps I should search Amazon for ... Read More Read Reviews and Description
