The Communist Manifesto (1848), Marx and Engels?s revolutionary summons to the working classes, is one of the most important and influential political theories ever formulated. After four years of collaboration the authors produced this incisive account of their idea of Communism, in which they envisage a society without classes, private property or a state. They argue that increasing exploitation of industrial workers will eventually lead to a revolution in which Capitalism is overthrown. This vision provided the theoretical basis of political systems in Russia, China, Cuba and Eastern Europe, affecting the lives of millions. The Communist Manifesto still remains a landmark text: a work that continues to influence and provoke debate on capitalism and class.

Review by for Ross and Wilson Anatomy and Physiology in Health and Illness: With access to Ross & Wilson website for electronic ancillaries and eBook
Rating:
As a nursing student I have found this book very useful for explaining diseases and how different parts of the body work. It explains each system of the body separately, explains what diseases can occur and then simply explains what the diseases are. Does not go too deep into the biochemistry side and is very good for people getting to grips with overall human physiology.
However, it may be too basic for some, but is great as a foundation text.

I am a student nurse, I’ve just started the diploma course in Derby. At senior school it took me so long all the time to get to grips with many issues in biology lessons and I always needed things explaining so much simpler to me!! (I think my science teacher got quite fed up of me in the end actually!!) So when I began this course I was terrified of how I was going to keep up with all the ‘big names’ used for parts of the anatomy! Then I heard of Ross and Wilsons book about Anatomy and Phisiology, it was recommended to me by a biology lecturer who sympathised with me, she said it was a brilliant book for those who worry about biology and was so simple to understand. So there we go, I bought it and could now tell you anything you need to know about the Cardivascular System (makes me sound clever doesn’t it!!!). It’s fab and I would recommend it for those of you who aren’t too hot on biology. It’s perhaps too simple for those clever biologists but is definitely brill for others not too good at it.

I am a teacher of Anatomy, Physiology and Holistic Massage and I recommend this book to my students. It contains a little more informattion than students need for level 3 ITEC A & P but this is a good thing! The explanations, illustrations and diagrams are presented in a clear and consise manner making learning easier. I only wish it came on CD rom! It is well worth the money.
Review by E. PARRY for The Communist Manifesto (Penguin Classics eBook)
Rating:
Very smart of Bookmarks Publications to print a compact pamphlet-edition of the Communist Manifesto, allowing everyone to get hold of a handy copy for a very small fee. While the foreword is written by one of the Socialist Worker staff, hence it’s somewhat (ok that’s an understatement) biased, at least it dispenses with the usual hundereds of pages of commentary that frequently occupy publications of this 30-page document. Previously myself and others felt it was necessary to plough through these lengthy (and often misleading) introductions before reading the thing itself, and as a result people often give up before making it that far. It turns out you don’t really need to do that as the thing largely speaks for itself; the style is usually quite clear and accessible and the parts that don’t seem to make sense are usually the parts that refer to persons or parties of the time (i.e that are out of date).As for the thing itself, I think I’ll avoid saying anything too inflammatory in this review. I think that whether you agree with Marx or not, everyone should read this document (no excuse now it only costs a quid). A lot of people make vast sweeping statements about how Marx was completely wrong when they (and I don’t mean everyone) in fact haven’t even read the Communist Manifesto. If you can’t even be bothered to read 30 pages of relatively easy reading then how can you talk about such things? In any case, Marx is in fact very misunderstood, which is only inevitable given how disagreeable his ideas (the ones he *did* have not the ones people wrongly associate with him) are to some people. You need to read this to understand what Marx was actually for, and what he in fact wasn’t. To put it more blunty: no system that has in history been labelled ‘Communist’ can actually be said to have any real relation to what Marx proposed, but rather were hiding behind the label to cover up their wrongdoings.That said, you don’t get a very in-depth idea of what Marx stood for, it’s more of an introduction to Marxism. A Socialist friend of mine has recommended going on to read The German Ideology then Capital, also by Marx, in order to find out more.

If you have not read this, read it now.I do not agree with Marx but this book is indispensible to understanding the history of the 20th Century, you cannot reach into the mindset of many of the leading actors without tackling this book. There is a reason so many intelligent men and women saw within this book such a lot of truth and tried (in my view falsely) to apply it to their societies- this is a book which deserves to be read by any individual who thinks that they think. If you have read it and dismissed it or not read it you are not yet someone who has grappled with what the world is or might be. The thesis was when it was published provocative- it borrowed from Hegel, Rousseau and even for one of its most significant phrases Edmund Burke and retains features of Hegelian historical progression and Rousseauian account of the formation of civilised man- put together though it is a work of genius and deserves to be read now.
Review by for The Communist Manifesto (Penguin Classics eBook)
Rating:
Whilst the book is not written for the enjoyment of the reader it is written with purpose. This purpose was to formulate and summarise the ideas and ideals of the so called communist movement at the time. However, I believe if one reads the book they will have to concede that Marxs ideas of communism do not mirror those which were brought about by the revolutions of the Twentieth century. To blame Marx for these failed implications of an idealsitic system is to blame Nietzche for the attrocities of the Nazis. Both write with a positive intent and a posiitve message for mankind and neither deserve criticism for this. However, due to their unswerving belief in themselves and their often harsh / revolutionary ideas they were bound to attract it.This book is as pertinent today as it was when it was written. The huge changes in the political scene, the growth of capitalistic society, the failed attempts at the implication of so called communism and the oversights the authors freely admitted do not retract from the message running through the text.
Review by bernie for The Communist Manifesto (Penguin Classics eBook)
Rating:
A concept born in a simpler time used as an excuse for many things from Socialism to controlled capitalism. As with any pivotal work one should read it for his/her self. There is always the chance of misinterpretation by an individual, but if you do not read this then you are just accepting someone’s word anyway.
This is more than an economics book it is a way of life. It sounds good on paper but makes a lot of assumptions. Instead of worrying about workability, look at the logic that is built on assumptions of that time (written, in 1848). Add this to your library.
You can pick a side (pro or con) and make a stand if you like; but look at the size of this book and realize that many people will just use the title and build their own case. You will have read the real thing. And be sure to balance it with. “The Capitalist Manifesto” by Louis O. Kelso
Review by R. Brightwell for The Communist Manifesto (Penguin Classics eBook)
Rating:
This review relates to the Penguin Classics version which comes with an “Introduction” by Gareth Stedman Jones. I put “Introduction” in quotes because it is about 180 pages long, whereas the pamphlet it is introducing is about 30 pages.
If you are interested in reading the Communist Manifesto, it’s well worth getting this one, rather than saving yourself a few quid on an edition which just contains the Manifesto itself. Without putting this book in its historical context, you’re likely to find yourself thinking “so what?!”. The intro is academic and dense at times, but well worth the effort.
The most enlightening aspect of the manifesto itself, for me, is what is NOT in it, rather than what is. There isn’t a description of how a communist society should look, for starters. The story of this book is the story of a pamphlet written for a specific time and place, which became an iconic work when it was seized on by the Soviets for reasons of political expediency. I’m sure if Marx and Engels knew what they would turn this book into, they would have written it very differently. No wonder Marx is quoted as saying “I am not a Marxist”.
