Review title: Avoid the self proclaimed "criminal profiler" Product review: Brent Turvey has placed some nice pictures and logical ideas in his book however, the reader must keep in mind that Mr Turvey is a self proclaimed "criminal profiler." The book is worth a flip through but not recommended to be on your shelf, if you work in the field of forensic psychology. It is this reader's recommendation to stick to books written by Dr. David Canter, Dr. Laurence Alison and academic journals if you are involved on hands on work in the field.

Review title: A delight Product review: Eminently readable and very entertaining. Herold tells the tale with great verve and truly brings to life the accomplishments, loves and travails of this extraordinary woman. One of my favorite books and a model of historical biography. Perhaps its delight stems from being more a psychological portrait of Germaine and Benjamin Constant. Whatever the cause, this book instructs and entertains with equal facility.

Review title: Gives me a headache Product review: I am now taking calculus with this book. I don't know how people survived calculus with this book. This book is for someone who really has a grasp on calculus, not for beginners. The examples don't match the problems, so you're thoroughly confused and have nothing to look at to help you when you're doing homework. You get a headache literally just from trying to understand it. Calculus is hard enough and the authors make it harder to learn than it needs to be. I've had other calculus books that explain much better and have very thorough examples that I could understand and keep up with. This book does a very poor job.
