Approaching Zero: The Extraordinary Underworld of Hackers, Phreakers, Virus Writers, and Keyboard Criminals

4 reviews
Paul Mungo

Random House, 1993

Captivating, but disjointed
This book is a bit scattered, and if you're looking for a novel on computer crime this is not it. However, these real life accounts of hacking are fascinating. The authors did a great job researching these accounts and the result is an intreging book that keeps your interest throughout. It's a nine.

The Kensington Runestone: Approaching a Research Question Holistically

Alice Beck Kehoe

Waveland Press, 2004

An excellent look into the process of science
As an amateur historian who has been researching the Kensington Runestone (or KRS), a runic inscription that is an account of a Norse exploration to Minnesota 130 years before Columbus, I have been looking forward to reading Alice Kehoe's new book, The Kensington Runestone: Approaching a Research Question Holistically (Waveland Press). Kehoe is an anthropologist at the University of Wisconsin, ...

Approaching Loss

Steve Marvin

AuthorHouse, 2007

Beneath the title, a true warrior's journey
This first book from this author is not challenged by the common problems with pace, butchered dialogue, and superficiality. This a very real, fast paced, adventure inside and outside about a man with a good heart, who lives a life that is wild and frequently too wild for his own good, that immediately puts the reader in the passenger seat. The blend of Hollywood, New Mexico, horses, Texas, women ...

Approaching Authority: Transpersonal Gestures in the Poetry of Yeats, Eliot, and Williams

3 reviews
Anthony Flinn

Bucknell University Press, 1997

Gripping, tense, tearful and uplifting
Sentiment and emotion ride the waves with scholarly precision as Flinn pens the book Dean Koontz wishes he could write but knows he can't. Masterfully ignoring the conventions of the techno-thriller, this book steps boldly where Tom Clancy fears to tread. If you liked "The Bridges of Madison County" or "Trade and Tariff Policy in the Weimar Republic," this is the book for you.

TheParentClub reviews
I found this book to be truly informative, spiritual, and humorous. My Aunt always tells me that God has the answers to all our problems. Well, the good Doctor has convinced me! Dr. Eaker uses the bible to show us that God does have a plan in PMS andMenopause. This is one of my favorite quotes from the book; it is the twenty-third Psalms, from the bible, with a little Eaker touch!"The Lord is my ...

Approaching Nowhere: Photographs

3 reviews

W. W. Norton, 2006

United TOADs of America*
They're everywhere and so like the title of this book: nowhere. Wherever the tarmac leads signs of commercial chaos and eventually abandonment will probably appear. In theory nothing wrong with that, businesses come and go but it seems unique to America that a gone business is remarkably reluctant to clean up after itself. The detritus of commerce just litters the landscape and a fortunate ...

Approaching Zion (The Collected Works of Hugh Nibley, Vol 9)

Hugh Nibley

Shadow Mountain, 1989

Nibley at his most personal and most challenging to our normal mode of life
This is Hugh Nibley at his most personal and most challenging. Here he expresses his faith, insights, and commitment to trusting the Lord and taking his covenants most seriously. He hammers home again and again that we receive everything from the Lord and that we are blind to many of the blessings we have all around us. We refuse to take them because we are after the things of this world and ...

Approaching the Magic Hour: Memories of Walter Anderson

4 reviews
Agnes Grinstead Anderson

Univ Pr of Mississippi (Trd), 1989

A love story far beyond the usual
I first heard of Walter Anderson from an artist living in Mississippi when I was in high school, in 1963. She took me to the compound where Walter Anderson lived with his wife, brother and extended family. Anderson had become a recluse by this time, and I never met him. I got to see the pottery work he did and became fascinated with his art. As a sixteen-year-old, I was impressed with the ...

Approaching God: How to Pray

7 reviews
Steve Brown

Random House, Inc., 1996

A must read for new Christians
I find this book easy to read and hard to put down. I've had it for half a day and have already read half of it. It feels like Mr. Brown is sitting in the room talking to me. I have read some other books regarding prayer and how to pray, but this one is the best I've read so far. I'm new to faith and Christianity and this makes me feel more deserving and willing to carry on the every ...

Daughters Arise: A Christian Retreat Resource for Girls Approaching Womanhood

Pilgrim Press, 2002

Standing on the Shoulders of Those Who have Gone Before
When I was a young teenager, there was a woman in our community who expressed interest in my thoughts and feelings. She took my inner world seriously, and felt more accessible than my own mother. I was sure she had experiences I wanted to know about, like ambivalent boyfriends, sex (I was still betting on three virgin births for my mom) and other mysteries I could barely imagine. With respect, ...

Approaching Death: Improving Care at the End of Life

1 review
Committee on Care at the End of Life, Institute of Medicine

National Academies Press, 1997

An incisive discourse
"Approaching Death" belongs with "How we Die" and Bill Moyer's Milestone "On Our Own Terms" as the seminal studies on Dying. At times empathetic, scholarly, and broadminded. This treatise should be read by all of us.

Get In Her Mind, Get In Her Bed

Nick Andrews, Taylor Ryan

Brownfish Publishing, 2008

I was Disgusted!
I couldn't believe the title, or that fact that someone would actually write a book about sleeping with women. I found this lying in my brother bedroom as I was putting away his laundry, the cover is quite catchy and caught my eye. I was sickened at the thought that someone could create a "how to guide" on sleeping with women. But my curiosity got the best of me. While I love my brother to ...

Simon & Schuster Australia, 2000

It's not too late to change the rest of my life
I have just finished reading this book, and felt compelled to tell how much these clear thoughts have helped me. Indeed, it would not be an exaggeration to say that I felt as if the book had been written it just for me !! I have recently returned from a "wilderness experience" in the Kimberley region, which would have to be one of the most spiritual places I have ever visited. I was given this ...

Approaching the Great Perfection: Simultaneous and Gradual Methods of Dzogchen Practice in the Longchen ...

Sam Van Schaik

Wisdom Publications, 2003

Fine analysis; great translations of Lingpa's Termas/works
This is a wonderful (fairly advanced) book, on Dzogchen with considerable material on Mahamudra woven in (see below). It addresses Jigme Lingpa's "Longchen Nyingtig" cycle of Termas (Treasure Texts) including discovered texts, texts resulting from "pure visions" of 14th century Dzogchen master Longchenpa while Jigme Lingpa (18th century) was in retreat, and supporting texts authored by Jigme ...

Art Malov

Park Bench Dating, 2007

Helpful tool
I was a bit skeptical when I first bought this tool. A friend of mine had recommended it and pressured me to buy it since I wasn't having much luck in the dating scene. I was having a hard time getting the courage to speak to women. This book is all about gaining the confidence you need in life. It speaks about women's minds and how to interact with them. It really helps to establish yourself in ...

Approaching Hoofbeats

Billy Graham

Avon, 1985

Excellent, not what I expected at all.
Billy Graham's book Approaching Hoofbeats, although being nearly twenty years old (at the time of this review), is as timely as the day it was first put to paper. The world famous Evangelist studies some of the famous symbols of John's Revelations and how they are more important than ever in today's world and Church. I admit that I approached the book with a bit of unease, the Bible warns ...

Ancient History from Coins (Approaching the Ancient World)

1 review
C. Howgego

Routledge, 1995

An excellent introduction to the use of ancient coins
The field of numismatics is one of the most specialized and isolated areas of historical scholarship, and as a result it is probably not used as much as it should be by historians. Coins have special problems associated with their interpretation, but this is true of every other kind of evidence we have (e.g., literary, epigraphic, archaeological). Christopher Howgego's book is intended to ...

Cuneiform Texts and the Writing of History (Approaching the Ancient World)

2 reviews
Marc Va Mieroop

Routledge, 1999

Tour de Force
This is a fantastic survey of the problems (and joys) of writing histories of the ancient Near East. This book rewards both novices and scholars in the field! The author is obviously familiar with the most up to date scholarship in Assyriology. The treatment of issues relating to intellectual history and the role of women in antiquity are expecially satisfying. Accessible and brief, the ...
