Fight Club: A Novel

Chuck Palahniuk

W. W. Norton, 2005

Better then the Movie in both Plot and Humor
The Fight Club book version in my Opinion is much better then the Movie. The Characters are both explained more and there actions detailed to a greater degree. The situations that in the film made me laugh in the book because of the better explanations made me laugh ...

Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies

Jared Diamond

W. W. Norton, 2005

Great for classroom teachers
While this book is difficult for many high school students, its ideas and the methods used to create his thesis are concepts your students can get. This would be a great jumping off point for an interdisciplinary unit and as the years go on, history and social studies ...

Naked Economics: Undressing the Dismal Science

The Norton Anthology of American Literature, Package 1: Volumes A and B

W. W. Norton, 2007

Cheaper than the University Bookstore
I havent even taken this book from it's packaging, but all I know for sure is that I paid far less on Amazon than I would have at the University Bookstore and that's all that needs to be said. I give this book 5 stars for that reason alone.

They Say/I Say: The Moves That Matter in Academic Writing

Gerald Graff, Cathy Birkenstein

W. W. Norton, 2005

The best endorsement is that my students loved it.
I used "They Say/I Say" with my composition students in the Spring semester of 2008. Frankly, I had some reservations because the department required a fairly expensive handbook, and this would be an add-on. On the plus side, it was brief enough to go over thoroughly ...

The Norton Anthology of Western Literature, Volume 1

W. W. Norton, 2005

An absolutely delicious anthology...
I purchased this book for a class, but was delighted to discover that I will definitely want to hang onto it afterwards. The translations chosen for the 'Ancient World' portion are, for the most part, delightfully vivid and capture the spirit of the original language. ...

The Marx-Engels Reader, Second Edition

Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels

W. W. Norton, 1978

a pleasure to read
This book was used in one of the classes I took as an undergraduate. It seems to be a thorough and well chosen collection of the writings of Marx and Engels, with some insightful commentary by the editor, Robert Tucker. I'm not a scholar of the work of these two men, ...

They Say/I Say: The Moves that Matter in Persuasive Writing

W. W. Norton, 2007

Great Resource
I am in the process of writing my dissertation and this book has been a great help in improving both the flow of my argument and the style of my writing. Simple measures to avoid using redundant phrases such as, "According to___________" which get boring after awhile. ...

The Norton Anthology of English Literature, Volume 1: The Middle Ages through the Restoration and the ...

W. W. Norton, 2005

Ahh! Get a cup of tea, find a cozy spot, and settle in...
If you're a book lover, how can you not love a book like this? It was my required reading for a literature class, and I was all too happy to have an excuse to buy it. Satisfyingly fat at 3000 pages, it exudes that delicious book smell when you flip through it, and its ...

Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers

Mary Roach

W. W. Norton & Company, 2004

Don't judge a book by its cover, or its title . . .
Had I done so, I would have missed out on one of the funniest books I've read in a very, very long time. When I first saw this book I asked myself, "who in the right mind would write a book about dead bodies?" Even more disturbing to me was, "why would anyone want to ...
