So You're Going Bald : A Man's Guide to the Art of PowerBalding

4 reviews
Richard D. Kelley

Powerbalding Company, 1999

Excellent
This is a magnificent book. Even for readers like myself, with a luxuriant coif, it was an eye-opener. I have been getting in touch with my "inner coot" and going through the dynamics of "powerbalding" even though I am not myself a slaphead. First rate.

L'Invitation Au Voyage/Invitation to the Voyage: A Poem from the Flowers of Evil

2 reviews
Charles Baudelaire

Bulfinch Press, 1997

Invitation to the Voyage
The translation here strays a bit from the original for the sake of making it rhyme. Although this may raise the eyebrows of some purists, I feel that the english version has charms of its own. The design of this book is really outstanding, and the old duo-tone photographs used to illustrate it are quite poetic in their own right, and seem even more so as a result of the way they are combined ...

Microsoft Office 2004 for MAC in a Snap

3 reviews
Richard H. Baker, 2008

A Very Nice Approach
The In a Snap books do not presume that you are a Dummy or an Idiot. They presume that you are a smart person, not afraid of computers, but that you need to learn how to use something new, like a piece of software on your computer. Further they assume that you want to get started without having to pour through all the 1500 pages or so in the guru level book. This book takes the Office 2004 ...

Original Mind: The Practice of Zen in the West

4 reviews
Richard Baker-Roshi

Riverhead Books, 2007

Shikantaza
Dogen Zenji would be proud of you, Richard. This "book" that is no book has managed to digitally slake the thirst of multitudes of grasping samsaric keyboards by holding up the electronic mirror and showing how futile our desire for Original Mind truly is. However, you're the cook and we're still waiting for the rice cakes.

Mystery Festival

Kevin Beals, Carolyn Willard

Great Explorations, 1999

Get them involved
Students really got involved in science investigation as they tried to solve one of the mysteries in this book. During a summer camp for children ages 9-12, we used the mystery written for the older students. They loved the hands-on involvement and stayed engrossed all week. If your science curriculum is putting your students to sleep, this book will help you jumpstart their interest. There ...

Peace and War: A Theory of International Relations (Books that matter)

2 reviews
Raymond Aron

Frederick A. Praeger, Publishers, 1968

Monemental work in literature of the world politics
This is a monummental work in the study of world politics. Those who want to go beyond text book knowledge of international politics should read this book. In it, Raymond Aron combines theory, sociology, history, and praxiology with profound insight and encyclopedic knowledge. Although his analyses can be difficult for American sudents far from 'philosophizing social science,' must teach you ...

Richard L. Baker III, Brom

TSR Inc., 1994

This book is where Psionics gets serious
For those who really want to delve into psionics this book is a must. It clears up most of the confusion that one might feel after reading the Psionics handbook. Expanded rules and examples of empored items, a ton of great new powers, sample NPCs, and a bunch of other cool stuff including High Sciences! The rules that this book sets out for psionic research and improvement are yet another ...

Genes VIII: AND Molecular Biology of the Gene

4 reviews
Benjamin Lewin, James D Watson, ...

Prentice Hall, 2007

A great book on biology
Dr. Lewin's work has helped me understand biology and improve my understanding of the sciences. The design and figures in Genes are wonderfully clear, as is the general body of the text. Furthermore, his website at ergito.com has some great supplemental material on the important procedures of science and past experiments that have changed sciences. Between the Genes book and the ...

A must-have for all job seekers
This book is a comprehensive and easy to read manual for job seekers. It covers not only the standards of job search (resumes, cover letters, etc.), but also the more elusive points of a successful search: networking, interviewing, and using the telephone. It offers some creative ideas to set you apart from the crowd. Equally important, it is designed to be a reference manual with easy to ...

Afriats: Understanding Forced Interpersonal Interactions

Richard Bird Baker

iUniverse, Inc., 2008

helpful categorizing
I met the author a few months ago and promised I would buy and read the book and did. It is a fascinating revelation of relationshops we all experience and helps to view those relationships in canny categorization, but will take a little time and absoorption to incorporate into one's thinking. I have been using what I've learned from the book ever since encountering it.

TSR Inc., 1993

Great All Around Adventure
Think of the Night of the Living Dead where zombies rise up and try to kill everything in sight. Well it is nighttime when you arrive in the quaint town of Pommeville, and not long after you slip off to sleep at the local inn all hell breaks lose. Zombies assault the entire town and some have burst into your very room. What caused this nightmarish attack...well its your job to find out. Save ...

Tree Homes: Preschool-1 (Great Explorations in Math & Science)

1 review
Jean C. Echols

Great Explorations, 1998

Integrated Thematic Learning
This book is a great teacher resource book for learning about animals that live in trees. I use it with my Pre-K kids during our forest animals unit. The lessons include a raccoon puppet and an owl art project, but this guide is more than just a craft instruction book. The children will learn all about raccoons and owls and other animals before making each project. The art and science lessons are ...

Richard A. Baker

Office of the Secretary of the Senate, 1998

Contains some very interesting tidbits of Senate history
Thirty Minutes of Senate History is a collection of short vignettes of Senate history as presented by Senate Historian Richard A. Baker to weekly meetings of the Senate Democratic Conference in 1997. I was a little uncomfortable when I realized that this publication originated with the Democrats (I daresay this is the only thing I own with a foreword by Tom Daschle), but this is actually a ...

The Duty of Mercy (Kinship Library)

Humphry Primatt

Open Gate Press, 1992

The Seminal Christian Animal Welfare Book !
Centuries ago the British Christian, Humphry Primatt, wrote this irrefutable book. A major theme is that every act of cruelty and irreverence against an animal is an affront to the Creator. Primatt politely argued that God declared all of his creatures were and are innately good and subsequently to cause them pain and suffering is a sin. He does not completely mandate veganism but he certainly ...

Music of the Sea

1 review
Richard Baker, David Proctor

National Maritime Museum, 2005

A history of the range of mariner music from the time early man first took to the sea to modern times.
For centuries music has provided sailors and passengers alike with inspiration and consolation for sea trials: the shanty lightened repetitive tasks, composers extolled the virtues of the ocean, and passengers reflected on their journey. It's fitting that MUSIC OF THE SEA should finally pay tribute to these ocean-inspired songs, providing a history of the range of mariner music from the time ...

G. Schirmer, Inc., 1986

Love the entire series of Black Dog Opera Library
Complete music on 2 cds, complete libretto, history of composer, history on this opera, historical performance notes...What else could you ask for for under $...! AND you end up getting so much more out of the performance when you know the story to the music. You spend less time reading the sub-title screen and more time enjoying the performance. (Not to mention you can be a "smarty pants" and ...

McGraw-Hill/Irwin, 2001

Clear and Concise
This was a very good study guide. I took this course via Independent Study, so it was nice to have a study guide that I could depend on. The book features a summary outline of the key concepts for each chapter along with 10 to 15 true/false questions, 10 to 20 fill-in-the-blanks, 10 to 15 multiple choice questions, and 2 to 4 excercises/problems. The fill-in-the-blanks are somewhat cheesy, but ...
