The Visual Dictionary 0f Star Wars, Episode I - The Phantom Menace

44 reviews
David West Reynolds, Hans Jenssen, ..., 1999

Great answers for "Mommy, what's that called?"
We have a 4 1/2 year old daughter obsessed with the Star Wars girls (Shaak Ti in particular) and this is good because it tells all about the different charachters, places, vehicles and robots of the movie in easy to understand, yet complete language. Very good for the little Star Wars fan or anyone who would like to go a little deeper, but not THAT deep.

The Man Who Moved a Mountain

15 reviews
Richard C. Davids

Augsburg Fortress Publishers, 1986

Compelling and uplifting book
My husband found this book at a garage sale. He couldn't put it down and related many of the anecdotes to me. I have read this book, since, over and over. There is a sweetness and goodness to it that transforms it from a biography of a great man, to an inspiring book that relates to the possibility for each of us to make our life worthwhile. It is down to earth, funny and wise, a story of a ...

The Full Tilt Poker Strategy Guide: Tournament Edition

24 reviews
Andy Bloch, Richard Brodie, ...

Grand Central Publishing, 2007

Great book for those with Experience
This is a true gem in the wacky world of poker books. After Sklanski & Malmuth, Super System I/II, and the Harrington trilogy, there are very few poker books that actually offer original content or any new insights into the game of poker. True, Bill Chen's "The Mathematics of Poker" offers both - to some extent - but in a format that is better suited for someone working on dissertation research ...

Ocean

Dorling Kindersley Publishers Ltd, 2006

Wonderful science book on the Ocean
This book is not a typical "coffee table" book. Although full of beautiful photographs, there is equal emphasis on educational text. Instead of being a book containing only full-page photos of ocean life, each page is a collage of wonderful photos and short articles that you will want to read. The publisher of this book (DK), offers a variety of books in this format (travel, etc), and the ...

Incredible Cross-sections of Star Wars, Episode I - The Phantom Menace: The Definitive Guide to the Craft

31 reviews
David West Reynolds, Hans Jenssen, ...

A definate for vehicle lovers!
I always wanted to see more and to be able to look inside of the vehicles more closely, and this book provides that information (and more more) in great detail. I really like the mini illustrations of where in the vehicles that events from the movies took place, it helps to "put a name to a face".

Very thorough and interesting!
I love this book, I'm 16 and I have no trouble understanding it (though I am smarter than your average teen). It's quite interesting and explains a lot. It's the perfect introduction to psychology for someone like myself looking to pursue it as a career.

Welcome Rain, 1998

The Definitive Tribute!
This lovely and indeed comprehensive tribute book commences with an introduction by Jeremy Lloyd and David Croft (co-writers of the series) and a foreword by Lloyd's ex-wife (and two-time guest), Joanna Lumley, and it is sure to be treasured by fans of this entertaining British comedy. What makes this book so enjoyable is the amount of participation author Richard Webber has received from ...

A Hunter's Heart: Honest Essays on Blood Sport

8 reviews

Holt Paperbacks, 1997

The Light and Dark Sides, and Everything in Between
As a hunter I've always marveled at how joy and sadness can dwell in the same moment, that moment when you reach out - with gun or bow or spear - and take the life of a wild creature. But there are many hunters who don't notice or care, and who treat this most awesome and mysterious thing as a sport like golf or car racing. The best part of "A Hunter's Heart" was spending time, so to speak, with ...

Black Gold Gray

Maximilian Books, 2008

Black Gold Gray Has The Reader in the "Zone"
Rarely does a book appear that is entertaining, fast, exciting, believable, and straightforward about the reality of a world that is affecting us now. It is real, alive, and compelling. The moment you turn to the first page of the story you know it has you. The authors have done an excellent job of preparing the reader for a very fast pace by providing a "Cast of Characters," "Locations," and ...

Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion and the Posthumous Essays, of the Immortality of the Soul and of Suicide

11 reviews
David Hume, Richard H. Popkin

Hackett Pub Co Inc, 1980

Is God Knowable By Reason?
David Hume made a reputation by writing on reason and its limits. The main thrust of the Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion is to question whether theological arguments for God that assign Him positive attributes (omniscient, omnipotent, omnibenevolent, etc.) go beyond reason's limits in assigning these attributes. We watch Cleanthes (believer in theological arguments), Demea (believer more ...

Biting the Hand That Starves You: Inspiring Resistance to Anorexia/Bulimia

6 reviews
Richard Maisel, David Epston, ...

W. W. Norton & Company, 2004

Waiting for this Great Book!
I only wish that Rick, David, and Ali had written this book years ago! Because Biting the Hand that Starves You would have been an incredible source of information, motivation, and hope when I was desperately struggling in the depths of my eating disorder. I was thrilled to see that the book vividly illustrates the vicious dialogue that occurs between the eating disorder and the individual who ...

The Allure of Turquoise

7 reviews
Marc Simmons, David Gomez, ...

New Mexico Magazine, 1996

Superb
This is a wonderful in-depth examination of turquoise and its makers. It is somewhat scientific in the portion about the formation of the stone. There are terrific photographs and lots of information about the handling of turqoise and the art that turns it into expensive jewelry! Recommended for the turqoise lover.

Camphor Tree Publishers, 1998

It's supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
This book is truly the gem of my library... A beautiful look at the careers of Robert B. and Richard M. Sherman! Reading this book brought back so many memories! Little did I realize that so many of my favorite Disney (and even non-Disney) musical films all had one special thing in common... the music of the Sherman Brothers. This wonderful book is formatted like a huge scrapbook... its ...
