It's good
My son's math teacher recommended this book as far better than the analysis textbook his school is using. I purchased the book to supplement the course book. My son has been using it as a reference guide as he does the homework for his class, and he has come to me several times to thank me for buying it, because it's far clearer and more comprehensible than the required book.

Excellent pre-calculus text
My daughter is using this text in her math class in high school. It is also used by students at other nearby high schools.

Having looked through her text, I like the authors' use of relating problems to real world applications throughout the book. The text is very readable. The introduction to the use of a graphing calculator is an added bonus (TI-83 Plus or apparently the Ti-84).

I wish the text books we had for math had been half this good when I was in high school (I did go on to end up 3 math courses shy of a math major - my major was computer science).

I would recommend this to someone wanting to prep for taking a college level calculus text.

Help for Grandson

Has its merits, but doesn't explain enough
I had to use this book for French 101 in college. I don't recommend it, if you're not being forced to purchase it. The culture sections do contain a lot of helpful and interesting information about France and the other French-speaking countries, but the book has a nasty habit of not explicitly defining the vocab words it introduces. Many of the nouns come in the form of little drawings, with the French underneath. If the picture is unclear (which they tend to be), you'll have to check the French-English dictionary in the back. Most of the words they use are there, but not all of them. In those cases, grab a bigger dictionary or Google Translate. I got my book used, and the person who I bought it from wrote many of the translations next to the words, which helped me out a lot.

I understand that a foreign language textbook can use words that it doesn't explicitly define, but it shouldn't be doing it when introducing the basic chapter vocab words.

used French book
The book is in pretty good condition.There's some writing, but the notes are helpful.Unfortunately this book is missing the first disc, but has the second one.The book is in tact and has no ripped or missing pages :)

Good book
Good book, in good condition. A little overpriced because i expected the workbook to be included but oh well!

Good buy.
Reasonably priced, shipped on time. Needed it for a college class and it was good.

Great book for learning beginning French
I used this book for a college introductory course and it was much better than any that I had ever used in high school.I would recommend this to anyone wanting to learn french.The cd was also very helpful in helping me to learn how to pronounce. ... Read more

Product Description
This collection of essays, originally written as blogs on her own site, details Ashton's insight and mishaps on her journey to thirty. She questions everything from love to singledom, friends and family, even Neanderthals and religion, as she searches for love and spiritual enlightenment in all the wrong places.

READING EXCERPT:

My life is an open book. Literally, considering you’re reading this. I write blogs. This doesn’t make me special or cool. Everyone writes blogs nowadays. But several years ago, 2004 to be exact, it was the wave of the future for all of us quick-flapping jibber jabberers who longed to have a voice in this world, even if no one was listening. Luckily, people’s ears perked up when I started spewing my personal relationship sagas and conducting random informal inquests into life, love and the pursuit of men, who more often than not, turned out to be losers. And so I wrote. You responded, and I wrote some more. Hey, someone’s gotta make an ass of themselves in order to be a martyr for the betterment of mankind. Might as well be me.

On my journey to turning thirty, I had a lot of questions and I longed for something more. I was seemingly lost, like most of us are in our late twenties. The sheen of youth begins to fade, our bar-hopping party days come to a screeching halt (mostly because responsibility kicks in, and partly because all of our trusted party companions begin committing and spawning) and if we find ourselves single, we begin to look within for both wisdom and critique.Mostly critique, but who’s counting?

I, personally, am on a constant learning curve. My life is a work in progress, to say the least. This book begins with my divorce and introduces you to The Life of Jen through brief essays, commentary and contemplative thoughts written during the next three years as I balanced motherhood, men, ego and coming to terms with the ridiculous world around me. You will journey through my pain, cynicism, insecurities, humor and heart as I attempt to grow into a woman; reluctantly, if I may add, as I have always possessed a bit of penis envy.

My opinions are not always popular, my outlook on life is not always positive, and there is nothing orthodox about the way I travel my path. However, I do vow to learn from my mistakes, love those dear to me, and...

4 EMOTIONS IN ONE DAY
I don't advise this book before bed !!!!Normally I can read a book before bed and fall asleep after a few pages BUT not this book... I was literally captivated by the collections of blogs and short stories about Jen Ashton's life.I couldn't put it down and yes finished it in one sitting.. well laying down.So needless to say it was a late night.

This collection is very well written, it's entertaining and funny and had me giggling - reminding me of some of my experiences of the journey to 30.

I found it inspirational and have already decided that one day very soon I am going to go and buy some balloons, attach some affirmations to them and set them into the atmosphere. You will understand after reading it :)

I cried when she wrote about her relationship with her ex husband and family. This book had me laughing one minute and sniffling the next.I am already anticipating the next book of her adventures.

This book is a great read !Two thumbs up!There is something that everyone can relate to in this book male or female.

Clever, Witty, and Inspiring
Okay, I just spent the last two hours completely absorbed in this wonderfully written, observant, and hilarious book. Very, very entertaining. You are a lot of writer, Ms. Ashton.
--J.R. Rain
