I have an AP US History quiz coming up (open note), and we use the third edition of The Enduring Vision textbook. If you know a good place online to get chapter summaries, please let me know!Where is a good place to get notes on textbook chapters?
Here is an advice for you. Doesn't matter if it's an open book test, you need to study hard for it. Students really make a mistake by taking open book test lightly. They spend half time looking for answers during the test.
Study hard. Read the chapters thoroughly and understand them. Don't just read it, try to understand the concepts.
You will be better off this way. when the test will come, you will probably know 90% of the answers and that will give you enough time to look for few hard questions. You would also get to know where the topics are and during test you can just find it quickly.Where is a good place to get notes on textbook chapters?

What is the cheapest way to ship a college textbook?
I am mailing out a college textbook. It is not a hard back book. I have heard that media mail is the cheapest but I want to know if that is true does the book have to be mailed in a box in order for me to use media mail or can it be in a large envelope. Let me know anything I may need to know about media mail. I have never shipped a book so I would like to know if media mail is the cheapest and can I just use a large envelope. thanksWhat is the cheapest way to ship a college textbook?
You should ask your postal service; just call them up. As far as I know, however, your textbook doesn't have to be in a box -- a large envelope would be fine. However, since the package will be heavy, be sure that the envelope is sturdy and holds the contents securely -- the text should not slip around in the envelope. Also, the package should include only the textbook, e.g., it should not include a letter. If you have a letter. stamp it separately (as first class mail) and attach it to the package. Mark "printed matter only" (or something similar -- again, ask your postal service) on the package.miata mymathlab login

What is the paper called that they use on textbook covers?
Im talking about the really thin paper that they use for textbook covers. Also where can I get this paper and how can you print on it like regular paper with a regular printer?What is the paper called that they use on textbook covers?
If you are talking about the dust covers on the textbooks, then it is just high gloss paper and you would have to purchase it from a book printer. I doubt that an ink jet printer would work very well on it, but I imagine a laser printer would work fine.What is the paper called that they use on textbook covers?
I think the paper you are thinking of is vellum. Most craft paper stores will carry it and some Kinko's may carry it. You can run it through a copier, but I'm not sure about running it through a printer....I guess it depending on the printer.

What was the most popular high school Latin textbook for the Aeneid in the 1950s/60s?
What was the most popular high school Latin textbook for the Aeneid in the 1950s/60s? I want to get a copy of a text containing good grammatical notes. Older books seem to have good footnotes. So if anyone knows the name of the book they used back then, please let me know.What was the most popular high school Latin textbook for the Aeneid in the 1950s/60s?
I don't know about what book was most popular in the 50s or 60s, but when I took AP Latin (Vergil) two years ago we used Clyde Pharr's edition. It was very useful and had very thorough footnotes. However, it only includes book 1-6. Its copyright page (according to Amazon) says it was first published in 1964.

If you're studying for the AP Latin exam, "A Vergil Workbook" by Katherine Bradley and Barbara Weiden Boyd includes exercises that correspond to the required texts for the exam, and help not only with grammar and vocabulary, but also with comprehension and essay-writing.

I have never used this next book, which is by Barbara Weiden Boyd, but I have heard good things about it. It contains a literal translation of the required reading for the AP, comprehension questions, and grammatical notes.

All three of these books are published by Bolchazy-Carducci Publishers.

Can i effectively base a website on a textbook without infringing copyright laws?
I wana base alot of the content of my website on a textbook i've read. How does the copyright laws involved work? Can i just reference their stuff?Can i effectively base a website on a textbook without infringing copyright laws?
It depends. If the textbook acknowledges an external source, you may have to ask for permission. It would be better to ask for permission from the creator(s) of the textbook itself. Rewording is good, but don't do it too much. You might just be plagiarizing content too much.Can i effectively base a website on a textbook without infringing copyright laws?
You can reword the stuff and credit the textbook. As long as you credit them, it is OK.Can i effectively base a website on a textbook without infringing copyright laws?
If all the "Substance" of your website is based solely on a single text book then definitely YOU must give credit to the holder's of the book's copyright AND it is strongly advisable to request "Written" permission. In this way, it is clear that you are not plagiarizing or infringing on the copyright.
Secondly, even if you receive permission--it better to reword and partially rewrite some of the material than straight forward copy the material from the text book. You can re-write the material to be more easily understood by your target audience. And since your stated purpose is to "Base" the website on the text it would not be appropriate to simply cop/paste. If you use multiple sources to support whatever the subject is--the Site will generally be a better source of reference.

Where could I get a legitimate hard-cover textbook on how to speak Russian?
Everywhere I look they are either sold out or poorly rated. I want one that may even be used in schools. I really want to learn Russian over the summer so I need a good textbook to help out along with other methods I'm trying out (Pimsleur, Rosetta Stone, LiveMocha, etc.) Thanks in advance!Where could I get a legitimate hard-cover textbook on how to speak Russian?
Did you try Amazon? Also, if you live in a college town, you can get one from the college book store, and it will be a recent, well respected text (I don't know what you mean by 'legitimate').
Don't waste your valuable time on Rosetta Stone.Where could I get a legitimate hard-cover textbook on how to speak Russian?
Why does it have to be hard-cover? Maybe that's where you're going wrong.
Have a look on Amazon for starters, and maybe if you're not in the US then have a look on any other online book stores that sell specifically to your country. If a shop, or website, is sold out of a book that you want then you can request them to order it for you and then they'll notify you when it is in. If you're on a website looking at text books then often there will be reviews on the books. Amazon has this. If there are no reviews you can assume that it's average, because no one's hated it enough to feel the need to warn future buyers, and no one's loved it enough to feel the need to sing it's praise.Where could I get a legitimate hard-cover textbook on how to speak Russian?
this is the best book:
RUSSIAN FOR BEGINNERS
Y.G. Ovsiyenko
Russky Yazyk Publishers
When I started to learn Russian it was my best tool.
From beginner to intermediate, easy but really complete.
It is a hard cover book with exercises, texts, grammar and conversation
As the other answerers said, amazon.com is always a good place to start.
One of my contacts also directed me to this website a few weeks ago because of my love of the Tajik language. This website allows you to safely and legally download many absolutely fantastic language reference books on hundreds of languages: http://uz-translations.net/ you simply need to be willing to read them in digital form through a program like Adobe Reader or DjView.vance and hines english to arabic
