Reader

38 reviews
Elizabeth Yates

Puffin, 1989

Understanding Freedom
Do you forget how vital freedom is in everyday life? Elizabeth Yates, the author of Amos Fortune: Free Man, informs her readers of how important freedom is. Atamun, the protagonist, was a representation for all of those Africans who struggled up the steep road, full of obstacles, to freedom. He stood for a large mistreated group of Africans who were deprived of their freedom and forced to work ...

Don Miguel Ruiz

Amber-Allen Publishing, 1997

a lovely little book
A friend recommended this book to me and I'm grateful that he did. This is a short, but very profound little book and came to me at just the right time in my journey. If you are not ready to accept and assimilate the information provided, it will be hard to appreciate this book fully. I know that I wouldn't have been ready until now. I have the four agreements posted on my fridge and am ...

The U.S. Army/Marine Corps Counterinsurgency Field Manual

16 reviews

University of Chicago Press, 2007

Very suprised
I actually bought this book some months back but I kept putting off picking it up because I assumed this would be a dense work filled with military jargon and more acronyms than one could shake a stick at. I assumed that it would be a tedious and difficult read so I found reasons to put it off, but when I finally forced myself to begin this book I was quite shocked. The book is very easy to ...

Comic Book Tattoo Tales Inspired by Tori Amos

Pia Guerra, John Reppion, ...

Image Comics, 2008

Simply Beautiful
I am not even halfway through this book and I already am in love with it. It is very big and heavy, but worth the inexpensive price. The art is amazing and each story is different. It's like a woven tapestry of Tori Amos's mind and heart. Her lyrics read like poetry, and the collaboration between author/musician/artist is simply breathtaking. I'd recommend this book to Tori Amos fans everywhere ...

Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil (Penguin Classics)

5 reviews
Hannah Arendt

Penguin Classics, 2006

A Classic that Elaborates on the Genocide of Jews and Others
I am delighted to see this classic back in print. Jewish author Hannah Arendt has provided a wealth of timeless information that goes far beyond the trial of the German war criminal Adolf Eichmann. This review is based on the original (1964) edition. Arendt (p. 39) gives the readers a taste of the scale of the Kristallnacht (November 1938): 7,500 Jewish shop windows broken, all synagogues ...

Ben and Me: An Astonishing Life of Benjamin Franklin by His Good Mouse Amos

41 reviews
Robert Lawson

Little, Brown Young Readers, 1988

Ben and Me
ISBN 0440420385 (which now belongs to another book) - Really well-done, tongue in cheek "biography" of Benjamin Franklin, a man who is "undeniably stupid at times", according to Amos, the mouse, whose brilliant ideas seem to be all that stand between Franklin and certain death with his crazy experiments. Amos, oldest of 26 children, comes from a family of church mice. Knowing how hard it is ...

Choices, Values, and Frames

13 reviews

Cambridge University Press, 2000

A relatively new but useful paradigm for risk management
Most, if not all who have done financial modeling have made some use of prospect theory in order to assess and measure risk in financial instruments, although this use has yet to be widespread throughout the risk management community. The reason for this is very simple: prospect theory gives another view of risk that is different from the traditional one offered by classical economics, and one ...

Amos & Boris

23 reviews

Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR), 1992

A simple tale , with an artfully told message
Even a little child can make a difference! This is one of the most empowering concepts for a young child to grasp. It is the message at the heart of this story. When the whale saves a mouse drowning at sea, we are happy to see a creature so big, helping one so little. But later, when the mouse is able to return the favor by saving the beached whale, we cheer him on! Steig's prose is ...

A Tale of Love and Darkness

32 reviews
Amos Oz

Harvest Books, 2005

A lived reading experience/the act of memory itself
Pearls of wisdom, interspersed with lovingly told family stories, including the horrors of loss and ongoing pain, and the history of a nation and people. Regretfully, these trite phrases don't do justice to what Oz has created in this memoir. This book is multi-layered in a way that seems to replicate the very act of memory itself, as past events show and return to told memory, through the ...

These Were the Greeks

1 review
H. D. Amos, A. G. P. Lang

Dufour Editions, 1982

These Were the Greeks
This book is one of the books that, through vivid detail and scattered pictures, allows the ancient Greek world to practically come alive. It goes from the pre-Greek era and continues on through the days of the post-Greek glory, when all the Greeks had to offer was knowledge. I found the book sorely lacking as far as describing the multitude of gods, but beyond that, I believe that it thoroughly ...

Tropical Nature: Life and Death in the Rain Forests of Central and South America

26 reviews
Adrian Forsyth, Ken Miyata

Touchstone, 1987

Excellent Tropical Overview
This book is well written and easy to read and understand. The literary quality is not lost in the scientific terminology. A must read prior to a trip to the tropics. A good written explanation of why we should save the tropical forests.

The Art of Living: Vipassana Meditation: As Taught by S. N. Goenka

27 reviews
William Hart

HarperOne, 1987

An Insider's Take on THE ART OF LIVING & Why BEYOND THE BREATH is the Perfect Compliment
Except for the author, I bet I've read and reread The Art of Living more than anyone else alive. Here's why: Before learning the meditation technique taught by the Indian-Burmese meditation master S. N. Goenka, I'd practiced in other traditions for more than 15 years and completed many long meditation retreats. I only attended a Goenka course because the 10-day retreat was offered for free and ...

Judgment under Uncertainty: Heuristics and Biases

5 reviews

Cambridge University Press, 1982

This is the best book I've ever seen about probability.
I've never seen better explanations of how probabilities should be calculated. And the book is fascinating -- especially what the authors describe about the results of surveys designed to reveal the most common mistakes people make when estimating probabilities.

Algebra and Trigonometry Structure and Method Book 2

5 reviews
Richard G. Brown

Mcdougal Littell/Houghton Mifflin, 1997

A powerful, comprehensive, and lucid textbook
Faithful to the highest standards of traditional math, this rigorous and thorough tour of algebra and trigonometry is presented with meticulous clarity. It is an invaluable tool in its own right, but is especially worthwhile in preparation for advancing to upper level math concepts. The sections dedicated to word problems have particularly relevant real world applications, addressing the ...

Amos Elon

Picador, 2003

Simply Marvelous
The author describes the history of German Jewry in such an eloquent, informed and story-telling way that is just fascinating. Easy to read too. Excellent buy.

A guide for the soul
First in a series of books that guides you to a new spirtual level and gives you the tools for your own spirtial awakinging.

Never Before in History: America's Inspired Birth

11 reviews
Gary Amos

Foundation for Thought and Ethics, 2004

Important Corrective to Revisionism
Frankly turned off by the title ("Never Before in History"-- smacks of the myth of American exceptionalism) and generally unaccustomed to reading high school textbooks, I might well have hestitated to open this book. This would have been to my great loss, because this is easily the best thing I have read so far this year. In fact, I was amazed to find that among all of the reading I've done ...

The Prophet: Amos (Sons of Encouragement Series #4)

Francine Rivers

Tyndale House Publishers, 2006

Meet a Prophet
The Prophet (Sons of Encouragement)Even if you are an avid student of the Bible, most of us don't spend the time it took Francine Rivers to get to know the prophet Amos. We might study the words he wrote but Rivers has brought the man to life. I came away from this novelette with a new appreciation for the calling that God has on a man's life and what path that might lead one on. Just as Amos was ...
