The Norton Anthology of English Literature, Vol. 2
W W Norton & Co Inc, 1993
Stalwart
Most of the reviews submitted thus far tend to criticize the canon in general, as opposed to the editorial apparatus or the actual works contained within this tome. I for one am delighted with this book, and have found no logical substitute for it as of yet. Even ...

Agents of Innocence
David Ignatius
W W Norton & Co Inc, 1987
Even today this is a novel that shows how we should do business abroad.
Having spent time in the Middle East, I found this novel haunting with it's authenticity. I am sure Mr. Ignatius has taken some characters from real life and disguised them a bit. For anyone interested in how an intelligence officer operates in real life, Agents of ...

Workouts in Intermediate Microeconomics
Theodore C. Bergstrom
W W Norton & Co Inc (Np), 2006
Makes you think
This is an excellent workbook to accompany Varian's Intermediate Microeconomics. The reviewers who claim that there are numerous mistakes have clearly done many of the problems incorrectly. In the 5 years that I have used this book, I have found a very small number of ...

What Do You Care What Other People Think: Further Adventures of a Curious Character

Feynman was a great man
Not quite as funny as "Surely You're Joking Mr. Feynman", but just as touching. A pleasure to read. This books makes us like not only the man, but it also inspires us to join his quest for scientific knowledge and rational thinking.

The Search for Modern China
Jonathan D. Spence
W W Norton & Co Inc, 1990
Just a great resource on China
I've read over twenty books on China, and this is one of the best resources out there. At first I was caught off guard that Spence started in the 16th or 17th century, however, it provides a lot of insight into China's development and goes into detail about China's ...
