Engaging, Informative and Helpful

So many travel writers tell you where to go, what to see and at what price. Greenberg takes a new tack - he tells you who is really in charge (within hotels: concierge, bellhop, doorman, etc.), why hotels do what they do (hotel ratings, bolting down remote controls, etc.) and, most importantly, what to avoid. The chapter that considers housekeeping is worth the book alone. This section on hotel sanitation and cleanliness is not for the squeamish.

I travel extensively and found that Greenberg's book is not only an enjoyable read, but a helpful read. I took away tips for travel that I will definitely use in the future. It would have been helpful if Greenberg had broken down the franchise hotel chains that exist today and highlighted those that he found outstanding. Yes, he does promote a philosophy that is "consumer aggressive" and demanding, but, as we all know, it has become a jungle out there and those that speak up get the best treatment and, in the hotel industry, the best rooms. Highly recommended

Lets be fair, it does what it is supposed to do.

Having read all the reviews I am not quite sure why people are so unhappy. Yes, this is not an exciting page turner, but it is not supposed to be. It sais on the cover "4 Full-Length Exams" and this is what you get, sample exams and explanations for questions. There will never be a book that will tell you how to "crack" the CS GRE, because such a book would have to contain the information of about five textbooks.

The only way to study for a CS GRE is to use this book to get an idea of the questions (plus the sample test ETS sends you). If you cannot answer the question then go to a textbook and read the corresponding chapters, so when you come back you can answer the question.

Ideally, you are a CS Junior in Undergrad and know that you will be taking this test. This way study for this from the start, while still in class.

Helpful is Math Not a Strong Suit

I hadn't taken a math course since my freshman year of college and never being strong in math, even when I was doing these concepts in high school, I think this workbook helped me out a lot. When I first started doing GRE practice tests, I was making around 480 on the quantitative (math) section, but after studying with the Kaplan workbook, my Princeton Review general GRE book, and the GRE 10th Edition, I ended up scoring almost a 600 on my math portion.

A great book for the GRE!

This book gave me a great strategy for the GRE and broke down the questions so I could quickly narrow down the choices. I also used the vocabulary flip book. I got a great score and only studied for 3-4 weeks.

Disk Doesn't Work - Bad Customer Support

The code that comes with the disk didn't work. It states that it is already in use. I contacted the company through their website and recieved a response that still hasn't allowed me to use the program and had no punctuation or capital letters - it looked like it had been written by a tween.

Product Description

Over the past three centuries, artists, craftspeople, and designers have engaged with modernization as a way to make sense of the changes it imposes. This exciting new book is a groundbreaking examination of modernity, beginning in the 18th-century Enlightenment movement. It considers the pivotal question in today's turbulent, post-postmodern era: What is art for and where is it going?

Surveying issues in the contemporary art and design scene and speculating about the next phase of modern practice, this landmark volume positions the rise and collapse of idealism in modern art as being of central concern. Concepts that are essential to the meaning of modernity-style, progress, and universality-are explored, as are movements across all disciplines, from neoclassicism to postmodernism. The thought-provoking text will stimulate anyone with an interest in the history of ideas in the arts.

Slender, Simple, Really Useful

I decided to apply to graduate school three weeks before the application deadline and did an utter crash course in the GREs. With no time to enroll in a test prep class, I picked this book up on a whim with one other. This book was immensely helpful in raising my math and essay skills before the big test. The tips on what they looked for in essays was really helpful in letting me wrap my head around how to really answer the essays. The tips on how to think quickly through the math questions worked well with me and helped my scores go from the 670 to 730 range. My verbal scores turned out so-so, but you can't build a solid vocabulary in three weeks.

I highly recommend that anyone use this book in tandem with another test book that has lots of practice tests on paper and online. Combining this with the free GRE tests online will also be helpful. This book is slender, simple and surprisingly very useful.

Unfortunately this book is terrible

Unfortunately I agree with the other reviewer who noted that this book is basically garbage. There is absolutely no explanation of anything- neither simple nor advanced material is explained. So part of the challenge with this book is the figure out what the author is trying to demonstrate and what is presumed the reader already knows. All in all, it is a total waste of money. It was not that I "disliked" or disagreed with the format or material of the book. Rather, it was totally incoherent and useless, without even a shred of informative content.
