Baltimore Catechism Set (Tan Classics)
With an easy to read question and answer format, the Catechism combines solid Catholic doctrinal teaching with meaningful exposure to Scripture and practical application. The revival of interest in the Baltimore Catechism reflects Catholics growing realization that a clear, concise presentation of the truths of the Faith is just what people young and old need to appreciate, practice and defend Church teaching. The Third Plenary Council of Baltimore was an American assembly held in the nineteenth century.
Reviews
"Best catechism out there."
"The famous Baltimore Catechism arrived just in time for the dawn of the second Industrial Revolution. The 1880s were pivotal, it was the beginning of American corporate brands still seen today, urban terrorist bombings in London, widespread neurotic symptoms appear in the Western populations and remain, the stationary steam engine appears designed for American factory systems all managed in fine drawn out detail."
"Excellence!"
"Nice collection to have in four books."
"Must read for adults as well as children..."
"A great set."
"Simple to read questions and answeres."

I feel the case examples, and subsequent questions help students bring a practical application to [the] material.”.

Reviews
"I have enjoyed the words and thoughts of the author and his exploratory nature to gain the insights he relays, it reminds me of my own curious mind as a younger person ready to explore psychoactive experiences."
"You'll find things in here that you've never heard of and won't see anywhere else, even doing a deep internet search."
"Amazing detail and a great amount of knowledge!"
"As a researcher in this area, this particular book contains many different species and everything you can imagine."
"The most comprehensive and we'll written book on the subject I've seen."
"It is certainly an extension of the seminal book of the 70's "The Secret Lives of PLants.""
"This isn't a book telling a misled populace to drug oneself, rather it's quite focused on the perception of sacred plants from the view of the indigenous peoples who revere them."
"The sections in the back of the book cover the individual chemicals and are a great reference tool to understanding how the different parts of the world use the various plants for various purposes."

LSAT Prep Book: Study Guide & Practice Test Questions for the Law School Admission Council's (LSAC) Law School Admission Test
LSAT Prep Book: Study Guide & Practice Test Questions for the Law School Admission Council's (LSAC) Law School Admission Test Developed for test takers trying to achieve a passing score on the LSAT test, this comprehensive study guide includes: •Quick Overview. •Test-Taking Strategies. •Introduction to the LSAT. •Logical Reasoning. •Analytical Reasoning. •Reading Comprehension. •Practice Questions. •Detailed Answer Explanations.
Reviews
"It is both easy to understand and easy to follow along with, and the format is uncomplicated and helpful. What I did to supplement was I bought a full-length test from last year and a Kaplan answer key that explained all the answers, as well as two other prep books that had practice questions."
"There is also a series of practice test questions (with the answer key, thankfully) at the end. I really felt like these questions were very similar to those on the actual exam and I know that they helped boost my score."
"I would purchase this book based on the fact that I liked that it broke down each question type, but would also buy Kaplan so I could have a few more practice tests."
"I have found it very useful for my pre law journey."
"The "explanations" of each practice question's answer choices aren't adequate for these questions, as I am finding that the justification is often "this is clearly the correct answer choice" or "this is the stronger answer choice" without any explanation of WHY the logic/argument is stronger."
"Doesn't use actual LSAT questions, and some of their questions and explanations for the different choices are poorly written."
"This book is somewhat helpful but it is ridden with typos, many of the questions don't come from previous LSAT exams, and the questions that were written for this book are either too simple or too confusing and leave out information needed to complete the problem."
"Its not an awful book, but there are TON of much better study resources out there for prospective law students."
