Cases and Materials on International Law by Martin Dixon Robert and McCorquodale

This edition of Cases and Materials on International Law is fully revised, including detailed information about: international economic law, such as the responses to the “anti-globalization” protests; the regulation of the use of force, including actions in Afghanistan; the territorial administrations by the UN, as in East Timor; the increasing developments in international human rights law, such as the going into force of the International Criminal Court and national human rights legislation; the clear obligations on States under international environmental law; and the role of non-state actors in the international community. I used it for an international politics class at my university, and highly recommend it.

Microbiology: An Introduction (9th Edition) by Gerard J. Tortora, Berdell R. Funke , Christine L. Case

This was the required book for the microbiology class last semester. I found Microbiology: An Introduction to be very enlightening and useful. The class was an introduction to microbiology and this book was perfect for it! The book was great at explaining all the complexities of the class, and as my professor is fairly renowned, I doubt he would have chosen this text if it wasn’t any good.

Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association

The “Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association” is one those boring but essential books everyone doesn’t want to own, but ends up having to. Just as many disciplines require the use of MLA, Chicago, or the AP, the majority of psychological journals require the use of APA. Having everyone use one standard makes things much easier for editors and researchers, but can be a pain for the writer. However, if you plan on writing or publishing anything related to psychology, this manual is a must.

Biology by Neil A. Campbell and Jane B. Reece

My college uses Biology by Neil A. Campbell and Jane B. Reece. This book is perfect for explaining the complexities of biology. My class only covered the first 21 chapters, but I looked through the rest of the book on my own time and it seemed to be laid out very well. The book did an awesome job of explaining some of the more complicated biological processes like photosynthesis and cellular respiration, while still easy to follow. The CD that came with this book is very handy, too. I found the included practice questions useful for studying for tests and my midterm.
