The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game

138 reviews
Michael Lewis

W. W. Norton, 2007

Possibly Lewis' best
Moneyball was as insightful as it was cutting edge, but Blindside goes to another level entirely. The glimpses into the mechanics of football, coaching and player selection are brilliant. The humanitarian side is another story all it's own. Lewis doesn't pull any punches as he details the circumstances surrounding the discovery of Big Mike by the Tuohys, nor does he gloss over the potential ...

Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game

Michael Lewis

W. W. Norton & Company, 2004

Disliked his Wall Street books, loved this one
Michael Lewis made his name writing books describing the people behind our financial system -- books that were inevitably described, for some reason, as "funny" or "hilarious." Perhaps these same reviewers were in stitches while reading Javascript technical manuals or the Kyoto Accords. Truly, I saw neither any humor nor any attempts to be funny in these books, which were, sadly, just dull. ...

The Pilgrim's Regress: An Allegorical Apology for Christianity Reason and Romanticism

27 reviews
C. S. Lewis

Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1992

Read C.S. Lewis' first fiction
If the first fiction by Lewis you read is the seven volume Narnian set, the rest of his works can appear rather puzzling. Lewis said to Tolkien, there wasn't anything available of the sort of thing he liked to read, so he'd have to write it himself; arguably both Tolkien and Lewis wrote for readers who liked to read what they liked to read, and in so doing struck a deep vein and a lost chord. ...

Real Price of Everything by Lewis
This is a complicated book because of its length and technical verbiage in economics. The outline includes lengthy dissertations by 5 or more writers in foundational economic literature and reporting. These are: 1776: The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith 1798: An Essay on the Principle of Population by Thomas Malthus 1817: Principles of Political Economy and Taxation by David ...

Nothing's Sacred

54 reviews
Lewis Black

Simon Spotlight Entertainment, 2006

Of course its not what people expect!
In a Lewis Black style rant...... OF COURSE ITS NOT WHAT MOST PEOPLE EXPECT! This book is more of his own autobiography, not so much a comedic book. The thing is that his autobiography just happens to BE comedic. Since alot of his views and routines are based on his own past experiences, of course certain things will overlapped. If you specifically want comedic books - I suggest George ...

John Lewis, Michael D'Orso

Harvest Books, 1999

Invaluable Primer on Civil Rights and Nonviolence
John Lewis' memoir tells of his pivotal role in the civil rights movement as , literally, its most prominent "fall guy." John Lewis was physically at the forefront of the major civil rights events-getting beaten, arrested, and ultimately, prevailing in the struggle to desegregate the south. He was one of the original Freedom Riders as well as the first person across the Pettis Bridge in Selma. He ...

Sams, 2006

Outstanding! Best Windows 2003 Book on the Market!!!
I've bought 4 other books on Windows 2003 to help me with our migration to Active Directory and have been disappointed with the real world experience in all of the other books. This was the first book that had tips and tricks based on real world guidance. I was amazed that the book covered Service Pack 1 being that SP1 just came out a couple months ago. Was VERY helpful as we struggled with our ...

The New New Thing: A Silicon Valley Story

Michael Lewis

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2001

A Fascinating Insight into Silicon Valley
The July 1999 issue of Forbes magazine makes the astonishing observation that there are now 465 people who have a billion or more dollars. Incredibly, as this book notes, there are an estimated 180,000 Americans who are deca-millionaires (over ten million dollars in assets). An inventor or entrepreneur, upon reading these statistics, may note that not only has a great amount of wealth been ...

The American Voter Revisited
Michael S. Lewis-Beck, Helmut Norpoth, ...

University of Michigan Press, 2008

Today we are politically polarized as never before. The presidential elections of 2000 and 2004 will be remembered as two of the most contentious political events in American history. Yet despite the recent election upheaval, The American Voter Revisited discovers that voter behavior has been remarkably consistent over the last half century. And if the authors are correct in their predictions, 2008 will show just how reliably the American ...

C. S. Lewis

HarperChildrensAudio, 2000

All Ages Can Appreciate This Book!
Mr. Lewis' whimsical style creates a fast paced, fast read fairy tale. Woven throughout the book are Christian themes, however, I believe you can still thoroughly enjoy this book even if you are not a Christian. I believe it can be enjoyed by all ages and would be a wonderful book to read to young children. I look forward to reading the rest of the Chronicles of Narnia series. The story ...

This book was enlightening to read as it greatly extended my own thinking about the many ways that I can positively impact my clients' and students' lives. The many practical examples included in each chapter motivated me to try many of the interventions described in the book in my professional practices. and guess what... they really do work... If I had to choose one book of all the ones I ...

Apress, 2007

Building Google Maps application in Rails, get this book
I was worried when I ordered this book that it would just be a reference book of the Google Maps API, but thankfully I was wrong. This book is an excellent reference to anyone wanting to build a Google Maps enabled Rails Application. The first four chapters take you through building an application, similar to the author's hotspotr application where a user can save Wifi hotspot information. ...
