A great starting point
Perspective
Great Book
This is a great book for any beginner. Within one week, i had made my first arcade game! This is a great beginners book for anyone who wants to learn to make their own game. This book expects you to come on with ABSOLUTELY NO EXPERIENCE AT ALL!
Awesome Book!
When I read this book I learned a lot about game programming and I'm planning to buy more books on it.It teaches you a lot about the Blitz BASIC language.I was able to create my own game within three days after I had finished reading this book!If you're interested in the world of game programming, this is the book that'll get you started! ...

A good book
I am a high school student taking a first-year chemistry course.Although it does that I have a great teacher, I think that this is a good book.However, it is not very challenging.It may be better for lower-level students, but students looking for a challenge or for AP level study do NOT want this book.

A practical engineering book
If you are looking for a practical handbook or trying to reveal the veil and get a taste of what's CAD of circuit is like, this book is a very good starting point, as the other reviewers mentioned. However, in order to explain some of the mathematical concepts (e.g. Newton Raphson method), the authors choose a very engineering approach, readers with solid mathematical or numerical analysis background will get impatient and sometimes get lost. However, even for math geeks, so long as you really calm down and concentrate on the material, you will find another refreshing perspective and get some engineering insight.
Simply, the best I have read...
It is a must to have for anyone looking for being a simulation software developer...Read more

Never disappointed by a Janice VanCleave book
You will not be disappointed with this book! Janice VanCleave's Biology For Every Kid is divided into these categories: plants, zoology, and the human body with tons of simple hands-on experiments that you can do for each. I use these experiments all the time in my 7th grade classroom and the kids love them. Learning is so much better when it's hands-on! I would highly recommend this book for upper elementary and middle school science teachers.

A little interest boost for elementary school biology

Simply ridiculous
It is hard to imagine a worse math book, except maybe the earlier editions of this title. Poor Transition into Algebra and High School Math
This book is commonly used by grade schools as a transition for students to get acquainted with algebra topics and prepare for high school math courses.Sadly, this book is poorly laid out, skipping back and forth between topics like a ping pong ball, and often pampers the reader to an extent of which is clearly childish.Even grade school students who were polled often find the pictures both useless and distracting.The chapters of this book also waste space, while providing very little mathematical content.If you are reading this book, or thinking about getting this book for a school environment, you should seriously consider that this book in no way prepares students for high school math courses.Why 2 stars then?The overwhelming use of pictures and comics to portray mathematics may provide easier to understand concepts for children with learning disabilities; but is often distracting.

Very Helpful

Trade in that caked-on face for a Fresh look
My daughter asked me to buy this book yesterday at B& Noble. I liked it...enough to send to my nieces (in middle school & high school). Finally, there's somebody else out there that validates what I've been saying all along--Stop with the racoon eyes and the 'hard' look. It's a good book...wish the author would follow up with something like this for the 45+ crowd. Just a suggestion.

BEST BOOK EVER!!
- This book is AMAZING. Being a teen myself, I really
The perfect book for girls of ALL ages
I picked up this book for my niece at a local book store and paid quite a bit more for it than what Amazon is selling it for. The book itself is worth much more than even its list price. Loads of great photos and tons of inspirational and informational content. My niece hasn't put the book down, and I'm sure that I'll be buying her another copy come Christmas. ... Read more

Delightful, for students of all ages
I first saw this lavishly illustrated book in a university botany lab. I got my own copy and aced the lab final.
the best and easiest intro to botany
This book is excellent.As a TA for a course in botany, I use it more than the textbook as a teaching tool because its pictures and diagrams are wonderful.I would recommend this as a complement to any course in botany. ... Read more

My 7th Grade Math Book
Math Thematics Book 2 is my 7th grade math book, I am in Trans Math and so my class is able to move quickly through the book, the Math 7 class is going slowly.(Page 287 versus page 215)In this math book you are able to move unhurriedly or rapidly and that matters.I think that this book is good because it teaches such a broad range of mathematical techniques and new ideas.Last January I took the SAT (the real college-bound senior's test) and I got a pretty good score on the mathematical section, even though I'm not much of a math person.The only two things I don't like about the book are: 1) I don't know when I will have to use the problem: 10x-(-6)*17n (as an example) and 2) I truly don't like the way it incorporates things such as the search and rescue team having to go 5 miles to the site and if they are going 67 mph but they have to go 2 miles out of their way....I just want to learn the math, you know?I don't care what the search and rescue team needs to know to get to the site of the accident.Overall, though, I think that Math Thematics Book 2 is a good math book and I'm learning a lot so I can be in Algebra next year. ...

WOW!TEST SCORES ARE UP^^!!!
Wow!! I am in 8th grade and taking the High School Regent Earth Science course, and before I bought this book I was getting 50s and 60s on tests (my quarter average was a 84) and after I did the review questions in each chapter I havn't gotten anything below a 85 (now my average is a 94)!! This made my average go up 10 points, and if it can work for me, it can definitely work for you.My mom said it was the best money she ever spent, and I also bought the Barron's Regents Earth Science Exams and Answers book, but unfortunately it was a "little" overused and I can't read anything in it..O WELL THIS REALLY HELPS!I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT! it even has a full exam in the back and a vocab section that shows vocab words to know for the test, it's really good!

Excellent!
If you've been having trouble understanding the in-depth details of Earth Science and even just regular science, this book is for the new expert.It gives you plenty of details of every topic that you've learned in this course, and gives you many regents questions to study from (for the power pack). earth science
earth science is an exctremely hard subject but with this book u willget straight A's all the tim.get this book and review all the notes, it will helpyou a great deal ... Read more
