Read & Think English (Book + Audio CD) Review

Read and Think English (Book + Audio CD)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this for my boyfriend in Argentina, who wants to move to the US. His English is good, but could be better. This book has tons of articles in English about different parts of America and its culture, very informative! As the person reads, certain important words are translated on the outside margins, so the person doesn't have to look somewhere else in the book... the definitions are right there on the page as you read! And the audio CD helps train the brain to pick up the accent and pronounciation while keeping up with the reading. Highly recommended for non-native speakers looking to improve their English.

Ethics For Life Review

Ethics For Life
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I had to read the whole book for Philosophy class. We had to study and analyze this book for over 3 months. I have to say, it's a very interesting and informative book. After reading an extremely bias negative review from another reviewer, of the previous version of this book, I feel inclined to set the record straight.
The reviewer expressed his discontentment towards the way white males are depicted in the book. I thought the author is very fair and neutral in her writing, no where will you find her favoring women over men. She used a lot of examples and historical events to explain the ethical standpoint of various beliefs, religions and cultures. They are not her own opinions, but that of the ethical theories. She puts it in the perpective of the ethical theory under discussion to make you understand it from the inside and gives many great examples. The writing is easy to follow and not too insanely academic like many Philosophy writers.
I believe she gives updated examples and covers more contemporary issues, so get this version if you can.

Both scholarly and practical, this text with readings provides a clear, well-organized overview of theoretical ethics. With a contemporary tone and framework, it aims to significantly improve students' ability to make real-life moral decisions. Multicultural coverage and attention to college students' moral development help readers relate the material to their own experience and their own moral growth.
