A. D. Hopkins, K.J. Evans

History of "Sin City"
The history of Las Vegas, that wonderful city that has come to be known as Sin City, is chronicled here through the stories of the first 100 people to make an impact on the Valley.

If you are a Las Vegas "nut", this is a must ...

How to Expand Love: Widening the Circle of Loving Relationships7 reviews
His Holiness the Dalai Lama
Atria, 2006
Words of Distilled Spiritual Wisdom
I am not a Buddhist but this book is definitely one of the finest books when one is searching for spiritual wisdom and life's guiding light. No, it is certainly not a religious book and meditations can be practiced outside of Buddhism.
How to Expand Love by Jeffrey Hopkins (from the teaching of Dalai Lama) truly spells out the map/road to see higher consciousness of human beings. The most ...

Harold P. Blum, Morris Eagle, ...
New York Review of Books, 1995
Freudians Release Their Pent Up Hostility
Frederick Crews really knows how to tap that deep reservoir of hostility found in modern Freudian psychoanalysts. In 1993 and 1994 FC wrote two essays in the New York Review of Books debunking Freud in the first, and tearing to shreds the recovered memory movement in the second. These two essays and the letters in response to them have been put into the book The Memory Wars. As someone trained ...

Statistical Methods in Education and Psychology (3rd Edition) 8 reviews
Gene V. Glass, Kenneth D. Hopkins
Allyn & Bacon, 1995
Lay stat. student finds the book very good.
It is amazing to read other reviews, and it became clear how we all come from varied perspectives and view things differently. I have read couple of statistics books trying to understand one thing or the other before, and have not been lucky finding a real fair text (no stat book could really be a jelly anyway!!!). However, I had the hard luck of doing stats for my M.Sc program...and G&H has been ...

Harriet Lane Handbook: A Manual for Pediatric House Officers3 reviews
C.V. Mosby, 2002
Essential pocket reference
This book is so often seen on the pediatric ward that it hardly needs a review. I've been instructing residents for 20 years and can't think of one who hasn't used this book from time to time. Indeed, we joke that you can tell how old a pediatrician is by the color of his (her) Harriet Lane. I must say that in the past I've had reservations about this book. The drug doses were very often ...

How to See Yourself As You Really Are14 reviews
His Holiness the Dalai Lama
Atria, 2007
How to See Yourself as You Really Are/H.H.Dalai Lama
This was a wonderfully insightful book that challenges you to take a hard look at the "true you". It makes you think on the choices you have made in life, and where you want to go from where you are now. I found this book very enlightening and found great peace in it's reading. I learned many things about myself that I feel have made me want to be a better person, and I believe it has helped put ...

CRC, 2005
Good book for the class
I took an Ecotoxicology course as a fun class, so far the class is great and the book helps clarify some of the topics we are discussing. The chapters are short compared to other textbooks, making it much easier to read. The book contains great diagrams and illustrations/pictures, there are also additional reading suggestions that helped when I was trying to find a project topic. I am glad I ...

Romeo and Juliet - retold by Andrea Hopkins1 review
Andrea Hopkins
Barnes & Noble Books, 1998
An elegant take on a classic story
I've read this play a million times, but no retelling of it has gripped me like this one has. I saw it in a Barnes and Noble when I was sixteen years old and didn't buy it, but have spent the last five years wishing that I had. It is an absolutely breathtaking take on Shakespeare's most famous work.
The story is simplified for little ears, easier vernacular so that kids (and others : ) can ...

It is obvious that, through the ages, the meditation masters have been observing the physical symptons of death and dying. This book explains the physical symptoms one experiences at each stage of the process of dying, described in a thick context of a metaphor of energies and levels of mind. (If you ...

Developers, politicians, and citizens alike blame "poor planning" for a host of community ills. But what are plans really supposed to do? How do they work? What problems can they successfully address, and what is beyond their scope? In "Urban Development," leading planning scholar Lewis ...
