    Setting the Record Straight: American History in Black & White36 reviews
David Barton

WallBuilder Press, 2004

Enlightening!
I enjoyed this book. The information given about our black patriots and the hardships endure through this time period was an eye opener. I am thankful to read about a part of history which was hidden and deleted from the history books for so long. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is curious to learn a part of our american history and african american heritage.
  
  







   



  



  
    Sam Walton's Way1 review

FT Press, 2010

A little history, a lot of business insights
Wal-Mart is such a big part of our lives. I live in a small town where it not only offers products that we normally wouldn't have access to, but valuable career opportunities. Sam Walton's Way is a quick, easy read; perfect for a quiet lunch break. New Word City does a great job of effectively combining the story of how Sam Walton created Wal-Mart with all the valuable business lessons he ...

    Dog Days (Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Book 4)186 reviews
Jeff Kinney

Amulet Books, 2009

Diary of a wimpy kid dog days
I really liked Dog Days. I thought it was really funny. I can't wait for the next Diary Of A Wimpy kid. The book is filled with comedy and detail. The characters are amazing. The story is spectacular because of the dialouge. There are entartaning scenes in the book that is why the book shines.

Wil Wheaton

O'Reilly Media, 2004

Wow..just wow
I'm not big on writing long reviews. I like to keep it short and simple. Just finished this small book. Wil has a great way of giving his emotions to the reader. So you feel what he is feeling. I love how well written these short and true stories are. Well done Wil! Looking forward to reading Just a Geek and Sunken Treasure.
  
  







   



  



  
    Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World292 reviews

DaCapo, 2009

"NO WAY is this vegan!!!"
I have baked my way through most of this cookbook. I've sent them out into the community for friendly get togethers, bake sales and classroom parties and they are always some of the first to go. Though I am at the point where I like to tweak them to be a little more 'me' simply following the recipes in this book is a sure fire way to produce a plethora of baked goods that aren't just "yeah, I ...
  
  







   



  



  
    Low Speed Wind Tunnel Testing3 reviews
Alan Pope, John Joseph Harper

John Wiley & Sons Inc, 1966

The classic "must-have" for wind tunnel test work
The original is the one book everyone in the wind tunnel test area had open on their desk. It covered everything from overall theory of aerodynamic testing to details of wind tunnel design. The revision brings it up to date with use of computers and digital test gear.
  
  







   



  



  
    Sh*t My Dad Says182 reviews
Justin Halpern

It Books, 2010

Laugh out loud....
The first chapter of this book knocked my socks off, because I was not use to the level of profanity. It took a little getting use to, but I highlighted so many funny quotes in this book. If you are looking to dig deep and self-reflect...this book can do this for you through its humor. Completely worth your time...as long as you are not easily offended!!

Geneen Roth

Scribner, 2010

Everything is 'spelled out' for me...
The author penetrated my mind. I am amazed at the valuable insights - its as though someone understands exactly what I must have been feeling all these years. I use this book to help me center my whole self - body, mind and spirit. This book has opened me up to considering many other helpful ways to balance.

unbelievable good read
I read a lot of books - this was a book club pick, You will not stop thinking about this story for a long time - and you will tell everyone about it. I would write more but previous reviews have covered it well - I just want it to keep a high review on amazon as I think this is a great way to judge a book and this one is a MUST READ!!!

James Herriot

St. Martin's Griffin, 2004

Great Inspirational Story!
The book All Creatures Great and Small is a great story by an interesting author, James Herriot. On Amazon, there are almost no legitimate arguments against this great story. The positive reviews love the story because it really gives the reader a sense of what James Herriot is thinking as he tells his own stories. This book is in fact a multi-million copy bestseller, being loved by almost any ...

    The PowerScore LSAT Logic Games Bible143 reviews
David M. Killoran

PowerScore Publishing, 2008

Don't Waste Your Money on Other Prep Courses!
This is the first time I've ever taken the time to write a review for a product, but I couldn't not say something about the quality of the PowerScore books. Let me say, I started preparing for the February 2010 LSAT in December 2009, and I did so by taking a $1300 Kaplan prep course. I scored a 148 on my diagnostic, and my scores with Kaplan never rose above a 153. I often felt as though their ...

Holly Chamberlin

Kensington, 2008

Sweet story on many levels
A sweet story about a mother and daughter who vacation together in Florence, Italy. They both have plans and expectations for their future, and circumstances on the vacation cause them to re-evaluate those plans. I really, really wanted to see what would happen to each of these women, so the story kept me engaged. Introducing each chapter is a little unrelated tidbit (usually a 'letter' ...

David Servan-Schreiber

BBC Audiobooks America, 2008

Not a downer book...
I originally bought this book for my Kindle, after reading the sample. I recently went back and bought five more copies of the book itself. Three to give away to people I love, one for friends to circulate and share and the other for myself, as a hard-copy for my own reference! I've had several cancers and never purchase anything that makes me feel down. This book is terrific, a great gift for ...
  
  







   



  



  
    The Dark Is Rising Sequence: Silver on the Tree; The Grey King; Greenwitch; The Dark Is Rising; and Over Sea, ...206 reviews
Susan Cooper

Simon Pulse, 1993

One of the best series ever written...
I can't even begin to describe this series and I won't try to. I'm afraid I'd only do it a disservice! Susan Cooper says SO much in so few eloquent words that her books are rather like listening to fine music. I rank this easily with the Narnia series as well as Lord of the Rings. And while I adore the Harry Potter books and think JK is a fabulous writer, I truly feel that even they cannot ...

Never Too Young to Learn to Read
Dr.Martin has demonstrated the beauty of repetition in developing vocabulary in young children. The colors will excite the toddler and instill a love of reading. His companion book, "Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear?" follows the identical technique. However, as a childhood educator, Dr. Martin should know that snakes do not have ears and cannot hear.

    The Future of Learning Institutions in a Digital Age2 reviews

The MIT Press, 2009

A reflection on the effect of new technologies on higher learning
The "Digital Age" that we live in has been the subject of many (too many?) books, articles, essays and blogs in recent times. Everyone who has not lived in a cave in the last few years realizes that the pace of technological advancement is increasing, and many of the traditional forms of communicating, working and shopping are continuously being redefined. Despite all of this, the role and the ...

Jay Conrad Levinson, David E. Perry

Wiley, 2009

Great Book for the struggling Job seekers out there!!
I feel this book was very helpful with my job search. Although, I have just finished the book, it gave me fresh ideas on how to really have my resume stand out to employers, and how to market and brand myself on the internet and get my foot in the door to interviews. The author, David Perry is very creditable, since he has been in the executive search industry for years, so you know you're ...
  
  







   



  



  
    The Outsider: A Novel18 reviews
Ann H. Gabhart

Revell, 2008

Fantastic!
I thought The Outsider by Ann H. Gabhart was fantastic. It was a page turner. You never knew from one chapter to the next what was coming, and the ending was a real surprise! The book delved into the history of the Shaker society which made the book very interesting because each page, almost, had something to share about a society that has long since past away but it is still a part of our ...

Francine Rivers

Bt Bound, 2001

Could not put it down!
From the cover of this book, it made me skeptical to want to even open it, but once I did, I could NOT put it down. Francine Rivers is a very gifted and talented writer. I can not wait to read more of her books.

Amazing Story!
This book is so many things! It is the story of a woman and her cells - cells that were taken without her knowledge and used for research all over the world - cells still used today. It is the story of her brief life, painful death and the story of the family she left behind. It is the story of the scientists and the breakthroughs made because of HeLa's cells. It is the story of a daughter's ...

Mick Foley

Turtleback, 2000

The best man you never knew
Let me say before meeting Mick I had read his books and really not sure which one is which anymore as I tend to read political books, books on economics, finance, investing, history, philosophy, theology, and the most important book of all the bible. Those who know Mick knows he is a genuine hero and am sure many stars have thier reasons well scratch that do not know the others and conceptions ...

Rick Steves, Gene Openshaw

Avalon Travel Publishing, 2009

Great guidebook for Rome - Highly Recommend
I bought the Rick Steves guides for a recent 2 week trip to Italy and they made the trip so easy. The guides are easy to figure out, have great recommendations on places to eat, sleep, see. The walk-though tours of various museums are great (& save you money on an audio guide - especially if you use in combo with his Italy podcasts). The descriptions and maps are easy to follow too. We ate at ...
