Expecting Adam: A True Story of Birth, Rebirth, and Everyday Magic

190 reviews
Martha Beck

Berkley Trade, 2000

Not the story I expected
My wife insisted that I read this book. I would not have chosen it myself. Martha Beck tells a story about her son with Down's syndrome, a child that she was advised to abort. Her story is one that many will not believe. She has dreams that predict the future. She gets messages from her son through a medium. She receives aid from angels, or something very like angels. Through all of this, she ...

Entertained our 3 children for a long car ride--excellent
We had a long car trip planned so I picked up an audio tape of this book for the journey. Our 3 kids--13, 11, and 9--loved it. And my husband and I wouldn't let them listen unless we were there too. The kids laughed and got a sense of what it was to be a journalist. My husband and I (both involved in our local elementary/middle schools) loved the sub plot on testing in the modern era. ...

The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide: Five Complete Novels and One Story (Deluxe Edition)

65 reviews
Douglas Adams

Gramercy, 2005

A must have for any Hitchhiker fan
First off, this book is beautiful, with the appearance of an old fashioned Bible. Thick leather padded binding, gold edged pages, a lovely ribbon place holder, and Bible thin paper make this quite the collector's item. Second, for the price you cannot purchase these same books in paperback, so if you intend to read the complete series, this is the way to go. The books that are complied ...

The Adams-Jefferson Letters: The Complete Correspondence Between Thomas Jefferson and Abigail and John Adams

John Adams

The University of North Carolina Press, 1988

Throw Away the Text Books
Throw Away the texbooks. As others have said this is our Real History and Heritage. There is more to be found here on Ethics and Intergrity than in any of the pogressively vaporous decriptions of these men and their times. Imagine the chief architects of the Great Experiment in Representstve Democracy. Adversaries at the Constitutional Congress; ememies over the the transition from Adam's ...

My Dearest Friend: Letters of Abigail and John Adams

Abigail Adams, John Adams

Belknap Press, 2007

Outstanding
This book is a wonderful adjunct to the HBO series and David Mc Cullough's brilliant book.."John Adams". I have never been devoted to our American history, preferring instead Ancient cultures. I see what I have missed and vow to read more about the brave and devoted men and women who, indeed ,created our country. The love affair between John and Abigail seemed to provide the great man, as well ...

The Camera (Ansel Adams Photography, Book 1)

26 reviews
Ansel Adams

Bulfinch, 1995

The FIRST BOOK YOU SHOULD READ!
I got into photography about 3 years ago (digital) and read through about 2 dozen glossy "authoritative" books. None of which could explain the basics to relate ISO/fStop/Speed in a way that didn't assume you already knew what they were. Most of the book relates to Large Format which may at first seem a bit off-putting to a novice, but after a few pages you'll see how it doesn't matter ...

Ted Dekker

Thomas Nelson, 2008

Vintage Dekker
With Adam, Ted Dekker serves up another serving of his signature mystery style. This booktwists and turns until the end. As always, Dekker keeps you guessing and second guessing yourself as you try to decipher who will win and how in this battle of good vs. evil. Dekker presents evil and good in many forms, which adds depth and interest to this amazing novel. I don't know how, but Dekker has ...

400 Photographs of Ansel Adams work
This is an excellent representation of Adams work! What sold me was the quality of the photo reproductions. I have several books that display his photography and this one does the best job of showing the details that Adams wanted to show.

Ansel Adams

Bulfinch, 1995

Outstanding companion to The Camera
A must read. The explanation of the zone system is outstanding. I had taken a number of skyline photographs of Austin which when reviewed by professional photographers got 2 thumbs up. After looking at them with a critical eye on exposure and armed with my new understanding of the zone - I retook those same pictures and WOW. What an amazing ability to move your camera off of matrixed metering ...

Adam the King
Jeffrey Lewis

Other Press, 2008

The wedding of billionaire Adam Bloch and Maisie Maclaren is the event of the year in Clement’s Cove, Maine, a coastal village where the increasingly expansive “cottages” of the summering elite sit side-by-side with the modest homes of working-class locals. Adam, a shy, tentative man with a terrible tragedy in his past, has, at fifty-four, reached the moment in his life when he feels he is finally ready to live–and yet ...

Ernest Hemingway

Scribner, 1981

Hemingway at his very best...
This, as well as Hemingway's collected short stories, was a real pleasure to read every time I decided to read and reread this work. Very few short story writers write about things that common people can easily relate to. I never liked reading as a kid, then I found myself absorbed in Mark Twain, Ambrose Bierce, and Hemingway's writings - mainly thier short stories. Contemporary authors I can ...

John Ferling

Oxford University Press, USA, 2005

Fun to read
This is a splendid book that not only covers the personalities and the election, it breathes enough life into it to make it all fun. This is a breeze to read yet very informative. I will be reading more books by Ferling.

The Print (Ansel Adams Photography, Book 3)

10 reviews
Ansel Adams

Bulfinch, 1995

This is great book
In this book, Adams said Expression is more important than reality, idea more important than fact, the print more important than its subject. For it is only in the print that such magnificence can be unfailingly orchestrated. Those words made me think that what is good photograph. The book opens with a thoroughly enjoyable, albeit brief, history of photography before getting down to explain ...

Douglas Adams

Pocket, 1991

Head-spinning fun!
I'm not going to give any spoilers in this review about this book, because honestly the plot is so odd I don't know if it's POSSIBLE to spoil anything effectively. (That's the head-spinning part of the title) Anyway, the humor is absolutely great. I will warn you though, that the plot of this book doesn't quite pick up until about 8 chapters or so into the book. So if you've tried to read it ...

The Education of Henry Adams

Henry Adams

bnpublishing.com, 2007

Interesting Read
This book wasn't the greatest book I've ever read, but I had huge expectations for it because the only reason I read it was because the "Modern Library" list ranked it #1, but I still thought the book was very good. I wasn't familiar with Henry Adams and didn't know why I should care what he did during his life, but the further I got into the book the more interesting it became. I've been ...

The Wealth of Nations (Bantam Classics)

Adam Smith

Bantam Classics, 2003

Seminal work from the father of economics
Nobody seriously involved in economics can do without this exhaustive work, originally published in five volumes as An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations. This classic is a pragmatic and accessible milestone in the history of economics. Its author, Adam Smith, is woven into every economics textbook. However, Smith's theories, which today often are recounted mostly in ...
