The Intellectual Adventure of Ancient Man: An Essay of Speculative Thought in the Ancient Near East (Oriental ...

2 reviews
Henri Frankfort, H. A. Frankfort, ...

University of Chicago Press, 1977

An examination into Mythopoeic truth
The collection of essays in this book are by far brilliant examinations with fit evidence. It is great for the reader interested in Ancient religions of Egypt and Mesopotamia, it provides fundamental views on ancient mans perspective of the world, gods, and himself from myth. This is not a text book, nor a history book but it does provide adequate literary evidence and footnotes. I wish I had ...

Essential Rampaging Hulk, Vol. 1 (Marvel Essentials)

3 reviews
Doug Moench, Jim Starlin, ...

Marvel Comics, 2008

Hulk Apocrypha
This collection of stories from the Marvel magazine-size blaxk & white format title The Rampaging Hulk is a real find. The Hulk is more ornery than the now happily defunct Comics Code Authority would allow, and the art is fascinating, reminiscent of original pencil art but less sketchy. The effect is quite different from mere black and white reprints of color comics, the usual fare in the Marvel ...

Sex and Rockets: The Occult World of Jack Parsons

John Carter

Feral House, 2005

luminary
Sex and Rockets is an illuminating and inspiring book that provides a detailed account of the rich and bizarre world of Parsons. The reader takes a mind-bending mystical journey through a dynamic realm of magic and science that reads more like great fiction than reality. Parsons was as interesting as any character in a science fiction novel of the time. He was a visionary in the world of the ...

a great help
we live in broad brook, connecticut and this is the first year we've had kayaks. in the early summer we met a woman on the scantic river near the somersville dam and she recommended this book. best tip of the year. there are so many great paddles in here that you'd never know about just by looking on a map. we'd been driving around, shooting in the dark, and mostly being disappointed by what we ...

Making Materials Flow: A Lean Material-Handling Guide for Operations, Production-Control, and Engineering ...

1 review
Rick Harris, Chris Harris, ...

Lean Enterprise Institute, 2003

Short on info for plants that also fabricate components
While this book does a good job of defining how to improve efficiency and delivery performance through improvements in material transfer in an assembly area, it completely ignores plants that must juggle fabrication along with assembly....which is a substantial number of U.S. Plants. Understand that this book is premised on the Toyota Production System, and automotive plants generally assemble ...

4 reviews
John Wilson, Tim Hunt

Garland Science, 2007

Great Book
This is a great book, and gets better with each edition. If you are taking cell biology out of MBOTC, and don't have this book, you're playing with one hand tied behind your back. And if you're just reading MBOTC for fun, get this book, do the problems, and you'll learn more than you would in many University level cell biology courses.

"Harry N. Abrams, Inc.", 2005

A timeless, classic photography book
I remember seeing this book on its release in the 1980s. I couldn't afford it at the time, but I never forgot those images. Looking at them again, I can see the re-release of this group of Richard Avedon's work was fully justified. These portraits are raw - each man, woman and child is exposed. Avedon recognised that each of the individuals in these portraits were an entity unto themselves. ...

Good resource...just not for my students
This is a great book. It has lots of really good information and wonderful activities. The comprehension questions are a little above where my kids are functioning....but for general education students it would probably be a great resource.

Principles and Techniques of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology

5 reviews

Cambridge University Press, 2005

Excellent reference
This book is an invaluable source of information not only for those studying about various practical techniques but even those engaged in experiments in a lab environment. Written more as an overview, it works to familiarize the reader with the principles of both experimental protocols and the equipment that might be used, for example centrifuges. It's very useful to go back to it from time to ...

Before Philosophy - The Intellectual Adventure of Ancient Man
Henri Frankfort, Mrs H. A. Frankfort, ...

Penguin Books, 1964

Before philosophy, in the strict sense of abstract, critical, and methodical thought, came into being, man's speculations, when they turned to the perrenial problems of self and the universe, were expressed in myths. These myths are not mere stories, nor do they merely disguise an abstract truth. Theyrepresent a peculier form of conceret thought, which should be analysed before the attempt is made to understand the mind of Ancient Man, his moral ...

Alex Wilson, John Hayes

Appalachian Mountain Club Books, 1996

Unspoiled Waters of New York
An immense compendium of the pristine paddling spots left in New York State. The authors looked for lakes with one goal in mind: find places where the water has not been spoiled by development, pollution, or powerboats. Unquestionably, they succeeded. The book describes over 100 trips across the state, with an expectedly high concentration in the Adirondack Mountains. For each trip, the ...
