| 1. Development Across the Lifespan | 
|
By: Robert S. Feldman, Joyce Bishop
Publisher: Prentice Hall College Div
1999-06
Thanks to J. Rodriguez' review, I bought this edition of the textbook for pocket change, instead of spending upwards of $80 or more for the fifth (latest) edition. Just like he said, this edition is the same as the newer edition, with the exception of a few paragraphs moved around here and there. If you need the latest edition, you may want to double check, and go with this one. It saved me lots of... more

| 2. Words in Air: The Complete Correspondence Between Elizabeth Bishop and Robert Lowell | 
|
By: Elizabeth Bishop, Robert Lowell
Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux
October 28, 2008
I'm with Elizabeth, when she snaps at Lowell that writing a good poem isn't worth hurting other people that much. I admit this book's art, and envy others' enjoyment of it, but what if you can't bear Lowell's personality and only read it for EB's sake? Much gnashing of teeth. They remind me eerily of another mismatched power couple, who are fond of each other when apart: Bill and Hilary Clinton. Lowell's... more

| 4. Modern Control Systems (11th Edition) | 
|
By: Richard C. Dorf, Robert H. Bishop
Publisher: Prentice Hall
August 10, 2007
If you have never studied control systems (s transforms, z transforms, root locus) then this is a great starter book. Explanations are in simple language and accompany with nice illustrations. I love this book. This edition 11, has matlab examples after each chapter.
But if you are already familiar and understand many control system concepts and want a more indept analysis or more theory... more

| 6. Learning with LabVIEW 8 | 
|
By: Robert Bishop
Publisher: Prentice Hall
September 03, 2006
My students could learn LabView using this book. When the book was ordered through our Bookstore in 2008, it came with the student edition of the software on a CD. When I ordered the book through Amazon in 2010, there was no CD. This is a big omission!!! Also, when I gave my CD (ordered in a previous year) to my students, some of their laptops could read the CD, but others couldn't... more

This is a clever, intriguing... more

| 8. Confessions |
|
By: Saint, Bishop of Hippo Augustine
Publisher: Hackett Publishing Company
2007-02
Augustine's Confessions is not for the faint of heart. With a lot of confusing backpedaling, this book has confused many a philosopher. Chronicling his search for God and acceptance, this is a semi-autobiographical account of Augustine's life. He tackles a variety of topics, but the only reason I can see anyone reading this book is for a college course. In which case, I have to say, good luck to you... more

| 9. Elizabeth Bishop: Poems, Prose and Letters (Library of America) |
|
By: Elizabeth Bishop
Publisher: Library of America
February 14, 2008
For my money, this book beats out Bishop's "Collected Poems" (from Farrar Sraus & Giroux) or any of the other separate volumes of Bishop's writing (be it letters, prose, etc.). In this volume you not only get all of her collected and uncollected poems, but there's also a very generous selection of her letters and prose. So for all but the most hardcore Bishop fans, this one volume should satisfy... more
