Good quality and also good bargain price.
My appreciation of reproductions and text about famous art is growing, so I feel confident about rating the book you sold to me on Gustave Caillebotte. His life and work were unlike those of other Impressionists in France. His uniqueness is explained well in my book. The reproductions and choice of works to include are good, or excellent, in my view.

A fearless expose of our nation's failure to increase scientific expert careers, even with enormous investment.
Rudoph is a fearless expert, not led by anyone's views but his own. He had extensive experience in classrooms before becoming an academic science director at a Big Ten school with its strong reputation for scholarship. His statistics used to show his fears about science education in the United States are seldom seen elsewhere and paint a sobering picture most readers would not want to believe. Most government and foundation directors would also not want to believe them, but these statistics are solidly grounded, as Rudoph shows.. Some readers, like myself, have had academic careers in fields outside the hard sciences of Rudoph's book, but still understand the central importance of science for the average citizen -- one special focus of Rudoph's analysis -- and the central importance for the country's global roles, his other focus. We can not get this kind of insider view from journalists or government spokespersons. It has to come from fearless experts, and Rudoph provides it very clearly in his book.
