Macroeconomics

R. Hall, John B. Taylor, ...

W W Norton & Co Ltd, 2005

an intermediate-level text
Don't take too much from my three-star rating, as I haven't read the book in earnest, only a few chapters. But I'm sure you'll appreciate my clarifying this: this is an intermediate-level economics text, not a general survey text to be used by college freshman. It ...

IBooks, Inc., 2007

Grunt Air is a great read

Classical Mechanics

John R. Taylor

University Science Books, 2005

Clear, thorough, and enjoyable
"Classical mechanics" is a brilliant book, certainly one of the very best at this level. The author doesn't save space when a thorough introduction to a topic or problem is needed. Very often an intuitive explanation is given first, followed by a formal exposition, and ...

Scattering Theory: The Quantum Theory of Nonrelativistic Collisions (Dover Books on Engineering)

John R. Taylor

Dover Publications, 2006

crystal clear exposition
Scattering theory is a notoriously difficult area in quantum mechanics. After looking several classics, I borrowed a copy of this book, then out of print, and found immediately it was at the right level. The exposition is always to the point, never overloaded with side ...

Kevin Deacon, Peter Last, ...

Time Life Medical, 1997

Excellent book for divers and anyone interested in sharks.
What an excellent, well organized reference source for anyone interested in sharks, and especially for scuba divers looking for a good identification book. Of all the shark books I've reviewed, this one tops my list and is recommended to readers of my web site.

Modern Physics for Scientists and Engineers

John R. Taylor, Chris D. Zafiratos

A decent introductory textbook
I used Modern Physics for Scientists and Engineers for a sophomore-level modern physics course in an engineering curriculum. I liked the textbook. The authors' approach seemed to stress the experimental bases for modern theories of relativity and of atomic ...

Cognitive Grammar (Oxford Textbooks in Linguistics)

John R. Taylor

Oxford University Press, USA, 2003

An organized and very understandable introduction to the subject
As a theory of linguistics, cognitive grammar is usually presented as an alternative to the generative theory of grammar and this book is no exception. Indeed, who would have thought that idioms, which in generative theories are considered to be "exceptions" to the ...

Uniforms, Organizations & History of the German Police, Vol. 1

John R. Angolia, Hugh Taylor

R. James Bender, 2005

Review
This is the best book on the German Police available. Please note that I said "German Police." Volume One gives an overview of the German Police from their very begining. It does cover the formation of the police in the Third Reich, and does it very well, but volume ...
