Visual Drama of Nazi Death CampsTherezin, Auschwitz, Schwa
Alfred Kantor Died, January 16, 2003.He was atalented watercolorist and made public his drawings of the conditions and characters he survived as a prisoner of the Third Reich. Imprisoned at 18 in three Nazi death camps for a total 1238 days, he and his friends risk their lives to document the horror. Thirty four years ago the images on these pages were emblazoned in my mind. You will not have to read it more than once, and pass it on.This collection of paintings enjoys world wide acclaim. We must remember.

I will send 1/ 2 of net proceeds to www.kehilaprag.cz. Where old people of his homeland need help. ... Read more

Product Description
The Norton Critical Edition of Tennyson's Poetry, Second Edition, represents a significant revision of its predecessor and assimilates the Tennyson scholarship of the last twenty-five years. The texts of the poems are based on the Eversley edition of Tennyson's Works (published in nine volumes, 1907-09). Under earlier interdiction, the significant Trinity College, Cambridge, manuscripts have been incorporated here. The poems are organized chronologically, from "Unpublished Early Poems" and "The Devil and the Lady" through "Poems" (1872-92). "The Princess" appears in its entirety. Each poem is accompanied by ample explanatory annotation.'Contexts" includes early assessments of Tennyson and his poetry by Arthur Henry Hallam, John Wilson, John Wilson Croker, John Stuart Mill, John Sterling, James Spedding, and James Knowles. "Criticism" collects seven seminal essays-six of them new to the Second Edition-on both Tennyson and the major poems. Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, I S. Eliot, Isobel Armstrong, Herbert F. Tucker, Christopher Ricks, Gertrude Himmelfarb, and Robert W Hill, Jr., present their varied perspectives. A Chronology, Selected Bibliography, and Index are also included. ... Read more

Editorial qualms
As editor of this collection, Robert W. Hill has, I feel, made some rather poor choices. For instance, in the Preface he audaciously writes that he removed "indisputably 'bad'" poems. In this capacity, he omitted "Godiva" -- a great loss -- as well as many charming short verses, well represented in other collections.

Additionally, although he claims deliberately not to have modernized Tennyson's spelling, he nevertheless Americanizes both spelling and punctuation (e.g. "honor" instead of "honour"; consistent placement of the full stop within quotation marks; and so on). This badly affects the very Englishness of Tennyson's voice, I should think.

I would recommend the edition for its highly informed annotations, but not as a source for the poems themselves.

Nice collection of Tennyson's works
Tennyson was a poet of the Victorian age who wrote very sensitively and beautifully about the pains and shortness of life, the growing problems of belief in conventional religion, and about personal grief and loss.His most important poem, In Memorium, focuses centrally on these themes, and is included in this edition with good explanatory notes.

As with any selection this doesn't include all of Tennyson's works (which fill a number of volumes) but is fairly representative and also contains good critical essays from Tennyson scholars at the back.And it is readily affordable in price, making it easily available to the lover of poetry and the student or scholar alike.

Sloppy editing
Do not buy this book.I adopted it as a text book for a course I am teaching but have found typos in just about every poem I have read in it.Some you can figure out:

"How sweet--while warn airs lull us,blowling lowly"

"Warn" is supposed to be "warm." But others are really confusing:

"Thro' many a womenacanthus-wreath divine!"

"Women" is supposed to be"woven."I checked these in the first edition of the NortonCritical--the first edition has the correct lines.I guess Norton justscanned the first edition and put it on the shelves as a second"edition" without even editing it.

Very sloppy work--pleasedon't buy the book.The texts are well selected--it is nice to have ThePrincess available.And the critical readings are also well chosen.Butthe texts are hardly readible. ... Read more

Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Frederick William Lanchester, Hon FRAeS (October 23, 1868 March 8, 1946) was an English polymath and engineer who made important contributions to automotive engineering, aerodynamics and co-invented the field of operations research. He was also a pioneer British motor car builder, a hobby he eventually turned into a successful car company, and is considered one of the "big three" English car engineers, the others being Harry Ricardo and Henry Royce. Lanchester was born at Lewisham, London to Henry Jones Lanchester, an architect, and his wife Octavia, a tutor. He was the fourth of eight children. When he was a year old, his father moved the family to Brighton, and young Frederick attended a preparatory school and a nearby boarding school, where he did not distinguish himself. He himself, looking back remarked that, it seemed that Nature was conserving his energy. However, he did succeed in winning a scholarship to the Hartley Institution, in Southampton, and after three years won another scholarship, to, what is now, part of Imperial College, Kensington. He supplemented his instruction in applied engineering by attending evening classes at Finsbury Technical School. Unfortunately, he ended his education without having obtained a formal qualification. When he completed his education in 1888, he took a job as a Patent Office draughtsman for £3 a week. About this time he took out a patent for an isometrograph, a draughtsmans instrument for hatching, shading and other geometrical design work. In 1919, at the age of fifty-one, Lanchester married Dorothea Cooper, the daughter of Thomas Cooper, the vicar of St P...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=420521 ... Read more

Product Description

Appleyard, Field, and Cobb’s International Economics 7e text is an International Economics textbook that offers a consistent level of analysis and treatment of the two main subdivisions of international economics—international trade theory and policy and international monetary theory and policy.As the authors write this edition, the world has become painfully aware that increased globalization links countries together strongly in times both of recession and prosperity.The growing awareness of the importance of international issues is also evidenced in increased student interest in such issues, particularly those related to employment, international working conditions, and equity.

Comprehensive and clear, International Economics helps students move beyond recognition toward an understanding of current and future international events.As with each prior edition, the authors provide a clear and comprehensive text that will help students move beyond simple recognition of international issues toward a level of understanding of current and future international developments that will be of use to them in analyzing the problem at hand and selecting a policy position.New improvements covering the emerging issues in the global economy are designed to help readers both understand and appreciate the growing importance of the global economy in their lives.

Int Econs Review
The book was recommended as a course requirement and I believe it has more than met the objective. Was delivered on schedule and in good condition

Great
This book shipped really quickly! However, it was not exactly the same book as pictured online (different cover) but was still the same edition.
If your professor is very picky about which book to buy, check with the seller before purchasing .

Frustrated
This book could be really good if you just need it to reference information that you may need for a research project.The quizzes are not as simple because you can't find the answer in the book.I believe the author should look at this material more closely because it's not helpful to students.If you are considering economics as your major, you may think again after using this book.

solid foundation
This is an ideal introduction into international economics, as a theoretical study.
It assumes only basic prior knowledge of microeconomics and macroeconomics, and is on undergraduate level.

[It is not, however, enough as a prerequisite for more advanced books like Rogoff's Foundations of International Macroeconomics, which requires more advanced studies in macroeconomics and is much more mathematical.]

The book is not mathematical, although basic formulae from micro & macro economics are frequently employed, but in a general manner - so a good memory of your basic economics or mathematical economics class is ideal.
That said, the main tools used are graphs, which are analyzed.

The explanations are quite straightforward, I never had any major problems understanding the concepts.

What I liked about this book, besides the accessible writing style, is the thorough coverage, you get a solid foundation in other words.
This is one of very few textbooks from uni that I decided to keep and not re-sell.

best introduction to international economics
I have taken a few international economics courses and of all the textbooks this was by far the easiest to read and understand. The authors do an excellent job of making the models clear by giving detailed examples. This is one book I am definitely not selling back to the bookstore at school. ... Read more
