A bundle of humourous and thought provoking phrases
Statements like 'Behold the tortoise, he only makes progress when he sticks his neck out!' and more give the reader food for thought with a little humour in a world where everything is safe and how it should be. Read this, and maybe you will gain the inspiration to try something different, something outrageous, something courageous.

Erewhon: Or, over the Range

University of Delaware Press, 1981

Samuel Butler gives form to the modern dystopian novel
Following in the tradition of Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver's Travels," the English novelist, essayist, and iconoclast Samuel Butler published "Erewhon" privately in 1872. The title is an anagram of "Nowhere," which is the literal translation of the word "Utopia," the title by which Thomas More's 1516 work has commonly become known. "Erewhon" is arguably the first anti-utopian or dystopian novel, ...

I was on that passage and well remember hearing the depth charges explodimg.I still have my white tag and cabin with number on D deck.To verify my memory I checked my discharge and ...

The golden age of cruising
Once upon a time, a transatlantic crossing was literally a rite of passage for the world's elite. This book captures the rich history of Cunard and is a must read for everyone who loves the sea and/or cruising. Lose yourself in page upon page of period imagery.

His description of the minute by minute efforts of the passengers to survive (the ship sank in only 18 minutes!) his 85 pages ...

"Unsinkable": The Full Story of the RMS Titanic

Daniel Allen Butler

Da Capo Press, 2002

Well worth the time
Really excellent! This book must have taken a crazy amount of research. The author essentially synthesizes every book, diary, inquiry, and research project about the Titanic into a clear and readable storyline. The book reads like a novel, but is well-footnoted and is clearly grounded in the facts. One of the best features of this book is the way Butler takes quotes and memories from all ...

Casemate, 2006

College-level collections strong in Middle East history and culture need this.

The Mahdi's army crushed forces dispatched from British Egypt to half his uprising, ...

Thomas Nelson, 2000

Some real funny stuff
Wow, I can't believe the customer who wrote the first review gave it only two stars. This is one of the best books I've read about law enforcement, showing the lighter side in the world of crime and in light of high-profile cases. Who can seriously resist getting a good laugh out of these dumb crooks? If I could give it more stars, I'd give it a ten!

Professional ASP.NET Server Controls: Building Custom Controls with C#

Wrox Press, 2002

Not so in-depth to drive me crazy
I consider this a great book for starting to work with ASP.NET Server Controls. I have the MS Press book also but it is just so deep right off the start that it was hard for me to follow. (Although now I refer to it more and more) I have referenced this book may times for creating my server controls and it has been very helpful! Maybe the key is purchasing all of the server control books you can ...

Introduction to the Life Earth and Physical Sciences

Louise Butler, Daniel Blaustein, ...

McGraw-Hill/Glencoe, 1999

There's got to be a better way
I know it's important to introduce the scientific method but this book seems so unbelievably dull. For example, page 11: measure the length of your pencil, measure the length of your foot, measure the length of the chalkboard. Another experiment is the always boring recording the temperatures of two liquids as they cool. How about a lab manual where most of the materials needed are things ...
