Customer Review: Overall, a very good book for those who like to ponder on pop-culture. However, some chapters are much more interesting than others. For instance, "Why doesn't Batman kill the Joker?" offers very valid thoughts, thoughts that were also explored in the 2008 film The Dark Knight. On the other hand,... more info
Customer Review: This was quite a nice little book for anyone thinking of building your own home. Haven't done it yet, but got some good tips from the book.
Customer Review: Page one, paragraph one has two glaring errors. First, there are indeed figurative paintings in the Alhambra. They are painted on leather decorating the ceilings of the recesses in the Hall of Kings. Second, Columbus did not present his plan to cross the Atlantic to Ferdinand and Isabella at the... more info

Customer Review: I agree, as its title suggest - a list of things you will need to know/ask before buying a house. However, it is still useful for those who have never bought a house before and do not want to be caught in a bad situation.
Customer Review: I've paid more for a few textbooks. But they were actually worth the price. They were well-written and had selected answers in the back. This book made me confused about concepts I was already familiar with from previous classes. I felt really sorry for the people who were learning the material in... more info
Customer Review: I first read this book when I was in high school in 1952. For several years I had been captivated by politics and political biography, reading everything I could get my hands on. Sherwood's ROOSEVELT AND HOPKINS was the best. In the more than half century since, my passion for political writing and... more info
