Great for people of all ages who are interested in philosophy, especially those interested in debate.

I have hundreds of books on golf. This is one of the most helpful instructional volumes I have read. Understandable evaluations of commonly given misconcepts.

It took me awhile to get used to the traditional lute tab notation as I am coming from a regular guitar background (read standard notation & "modern" tablature). This is a good book if you can find it. If you also like steel-string acoustic guitar playing, check out the recordings and transcriptions by John Renbourne. There is another book that may be hard to find but worth it called "Complete Anthology for Medieval and Renaissance Guitar" that has some great transcriptions using alternate tunings by Renbourne.

French professor René David is one of the most renowned scholars of comparative law and this book is his masterpiece. Committed to the Cartesian methodology, the work is divided in four parts, each part representing a major legal system: i) Romanists, ii) Soviet law, iii) Common-law, iv) Eastern law.
Romanist: Also known as Roman-Germanic System, a branch formed by the ancient Roman law perpetrated in the universities of Europe. It is still the legal axis in Western Europe (France, Italy, Germany, Spain, etc.), and today is also the foremost structure in Latin America (Brazil, Mexico, etc.). A legal system historically inspired in a mixed conception mending law and morality: law is only what it should be.
Soviet law: The law of the former communist countries (USSR, Poland, Yugoslavia, etc.). Law is viewed as an instrument of public domination controlled by the upper classes. The best law is no law at all. A system strongly biased by Marxist ideology, where the legal rule is committed to the 'will of the people'.
Common-law: A system shared by the Anglophonic countries (England, USA, Australia, etc.). Born in the British Empire, this kind of approach privileges the courts decisions by the precedents doctrine, electing jurisprudence as the main source of law. A refined version of this system, with more weight to the legal rule is now adopted in the USA.
Easter law: This heterogeneous group relatively unknown to the Western World. Hardly gathered together as group, legal systems of Africa, China, India and Japan are unique and fruitful.
Finally, it is opportune to notice the book has an important analysis of the MUSLIM LAW, a conception in which religion is the law itself.

I am a psychiatrist in training and I really find this book helpful in understanding the concepts of family therapy.

This parasitology textbook is the highlight of my second year in medical school. Most of my classmates do not rely on this book as their study tool, but to me, it is everything that will help me get through my parasitology course. The details regarding pathological symptoms, treatment and diagnostic methods are very clear and easy-to-read. A must for medical students taking parasitology!

THIS BOOK WAS AMAZING, PACKED WITH DRAMA, AND SUSPENSE, AND COMEDY. EVERYTHING THE 1999 ACADEMY AWARDS DIDN'T HAVE

Another Wonderful book about the amazing Mottahedeh collection. Anyone who is interestd in porcelain will take true delight in this book.

This book is unique. It offers a collection of ethical policies and procedures from a diverse group of American health care facilities. Included are guidelines for everything from the determination of brain death to transplant protocols and withdrawl of nutrition and hydration. This is a must for any medical library. The one aspect of the book which could be faulted is that it is now becoming a bit dated. More recent policies need to be included.

This is a wonderful book. This is a great book. This book is spectacular
