I love the critical thinking sections -- they may be my favorite way the text attempts to engage the students in the practice of examining their own values and biases so that they can accurately develop their all-important personal values statement., The learning objectives for each chapter are concise and fulfilled throughout. Lastly, I utilize the Critical Thinking and Highlight sections as exercises and references for my students.

- r***a (6)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseMy package was intentionally damaged by someone during transit, through no fault of the seller. The package was good and sufficient to protect it, but as mentioned, someone decided to damage it with a knife. Upon contact, the seller has been reactive very helpful to try and find a solution, which was ultimately reached through eBay customers service. It was clear that the book sold was in the state described on the page prior to being sent, so 10/10 would buy again with them.Ezra Pound: Poems & Translations (LOA #144) (Library of America), Ezra Pound, Ve (#365351131012)
- 8***- (81)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseEverything was ok. Fast shipping. Well packaged. Good communication with the seller. Book is just as described. The photos in the ad are of the Book itself! I loved this Book!! :) It is part of the history of the Microsoft, Z80 Microprocessor and Apple old computer!! The Book is very rare and is very well preserved! My collection is cooler now! :) I recommend the seller to everyone! I'm very satisfied! Thanks!
- k***0 (98)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseItem as described. Packaging could have been better. It was shipped in a USPS booklet bag with no additional bubble wrap or cardboard protection. Slip Cover was dinged pretty good and will need replacement. After ordering a replacement slip cover from LOA - it ends up only about $4 cheaper than buying new from LOA. All in all - not a great value.Ralph Waldo Emerson Collected Poems & Translations (LOA #70) (#365414451321)
