Book Description
Regolith is the layer of broken and unconsolidated rock and soil material that forms the surface of the land and covers the bedrock nearly everywhere. An understanding of its properties and structure is very important in topics such as groundwater supply, soil conservation and exploration efforts for economic materials. Regolith, Soils and Landforms is a manual for students, professionals and researchers concerned with the practical examination and analysis of earth surface materials in the field. The text describes many economic aspects of regolith studies, such as the formation of mineral deposits, the importance of weathering zones and how the chemistry of regolith affects human health. Presenting a new view of the geological history of the earth, it places emphasis on the formation and destruction of regolith materials and provides a challenge for established concepts in landscape evolution. It will be an essential text to a wide range of readership including students of Geology, Geomorphology, Geography, Agriculture and Engineering as well as professionals dealing with regolith in their own work.

Great Text.......2001-03-20
In my opinion, this is one of the better books available for soil scientists, geomorphologists, and engineering geologists who need a good desk reference book on soil pedogenesis and landforms. The only weakness is the dearth of discussion on landslides and their role in landscape development.

Book Description
The book is the first full-size Encyclopedia which simultaneously covers such well-established and modern subjects as quantum field theory, supersymmetry, supergravity, M-theory, black holes and quantum gravity, noncommutative geometry, representation theory, categories and quantum groups, and their generalizations. The extraordinary historical part "the SUSY story," more than 700 authored articles from more than 250 high-level experts (including Nobel Prize Winner Gerard 't Hooft), a detailed (50 pages) Subject/Article three level index and an Author index, make the SUSY Encyclopedia an outstanding and indispensable book on the desk of researchers, experts, Ph.D. students, specialists and professionals in modern methods of theoretical and mathematical physics.
Book Description
This compact edition retains all the features that have made the full edition so successful in a smaller, affordable volume: The first compact three-genre introduction to literature text to address the changing canon is now the first to include a guide for writing about literature-with handbook coverage of critical thinking, argument, and the writing process. Combining the broadest selection of literature available with time-proven and class-tested instruction, the sixth edition remains the most responsive introduction to literature text available.

Almost there.......2007-07-12
This anthology has a great selection of poetry ranging from well-known classics to little known modern gems. The series comes with the most helpful Instructor's Resource Manual that I've ever used.
The book has excellent sections on how to approach different genres. It's well organized and easy to work with. I especially like the sections on how to write different types of papers.
Unfortunately I probably won't use the book again because our school has a diverse student population and the authors chosen for this book do not reflect that range of voices and experience.
nice book and really good stories.......2007-05-14
The book it self has many good short stories, poems, and drama plays. However the book pages are very thin and are easy to rip. Overall the entire book is a good book to be lectured from.
It's a text book........2007-04-30
It's a literature text book. that's about it. it has that nice new book smell. and that's the only advantage it has. if you have to buy the book, just get it unless you're confident you can find all the stories online or at your school library for free. Myea, nothing special here.
Also if you're a lazy student, keep in mind that this thing is a good 2 or so inches thick and kinda heavy.
Book Description
The first three-genre introduction to literature text to address the changing canon is now the first to include a comprehensive guide for writing about literature-with full coverage of critical thinking, argument, and the writing process. Teachers themselves, Kirszner & Mandell take students through each step of the research and writing process, helping them to craft literary analyses and arguments and to understand that writing about literature is a process of discovery, examination, and debate. Combining the broadest selection of literature available with time-proven and class-tested instruction, LITERATURE: READING, REACTING, WRITING, Sixth Edition, remains the most useful and student-friendly introduction to literature text available.
Book Description
The goal of the compact fourth edition of Literature: Reading, Reacting, Writing is to expand the personal literary canons of both students and instructors--to include works that represent a varied assortment of cultures and view-points--to weave together old and new, past and present, classic and nontraditional, familiar and unfamiliar. The quilt is the perfect metaphor for this process because a quilt is made of many different pieces, and the whole adds up to more than the sum of its parts. Literature: Reading, Reacting, Writing is a three-genre anthology with integrated coverage of writing about fiction, poetry, and drama.
Customer Reviews:
Excellent resource for any aspiring writer.......2006-02-25
This book is an excellent resource for anyone who wishes to become a better writer. It covers everything from short stories to drama scripts to revising & editing. Very helpful and well written.
The image on the front page is not the correct book.......2006-02-18
The main image here is not the correct book. They have the "Portable Lit" book cover on the front, and that is not correct. The other customer image is the more accurate one.
Look for past ed. they just changed the cover.......2004-11-28
I used this book for a college literature class. It is a great book, I loved most all of the short stories, plays, poems and more. I only thing is that before buying this book look for past ed. I bought this one not knowing that I had the book in the ed. before. The cover is different but that is all my friend had the older book and was just fine, Save some money.
A well rounded literature textbook.......2000-12-07
We used this book in my literature class, and I should say that I am not a fan of literature classes, but this book was very surprising. It contains short stories, poems, and plays like any other text, but if offers a wide variety of topics for selection by the professor or the student based on personal preferences or educational objectives. For instance, when working with poetry, students may choose from a variety of poems from baseball to romance. It is all there! Another example would be the short stories in the text; they range from stories of military experience to Asian family traditions. It is not only a literature book, but also a book of culture and variety. It is so well rounded it should appeal to all types of personalities, likes, and dislikes.
Excellent Intorduction to Literature.......2000-08-21
I used this book for a college literature class. It is a great book covering short stories, plays, poems and more. This is one book I will not be selling back!
Book Description
Designed for literature classes that only need the essentials, The PORTABLE LITERATURE: READING, REACTING, WRITING, Sixth Edition is the affordable, portable alternative to full length-or even compact-introduction to literature texts.

Portable Literature: Reading, Reacting, Writing.......2007-09-19
This book is a good small edition to the full-sized book. While it is off in page numbers, and thusly creates the need to admit to not having the full text, the book itself had everything I needed for my class.
