Earth's Elders: The Wisdom of the World's Oldest People

13 reviews
Jerry Friedman

Earths Elders Foundation, 2005

Couldn't put it down
Great book. I couldn't put it down. Very inspirational. Each of the stories were only a few pages long which made it nice if you didn't have a lot of time on your hands at one sitting. The author gives you complete freedom to come to your own conclusions as to why these special people lived so long. I never write reviews, but went on-line to buy another book like it and just decided to brag ...

Friedman never grasped Knight's uncertainty -risk approach
Meltzer edited this collection of essays containing Friedman's most up to date exposition of his macro model and a series of comments from other macroeconomists such as James Tobin,Paul Davidson,Don Patinkin and Meltzer himself in the 1972-74 time period.The major problem in these essays is the failure of all the above mentioned economists(Davidson mentions the distinction frequently,but ...

Med School Confidential: A Complete Guide to the Medical School Experience: By Students, for Students

Robert H. Miller, Dan Bissell

St. Martin's Griffin, 2006

Gift that went well
Bought this for my girlfriend who is going to MedSchool. She seems happy as a pup with two tails about this book. I don't know how, Med students creative writing skills are worst that a sloth, but I don't think they care much for creative so much as they look for factual data.

Because of the continuous Government's spending policy. Japanese fiscal situation is deteriorated, so japanese economy's last hope is a monetary poicy. At that time, reading this ...

Red Mafiya: How the Russian Mob Has Invaded America

Robert I. Friedman

Little, Brown and Company, 2000

Thrilling
The first thing I did after opening this book was to go online and see if Robert I. Friedman was still alive because I found it hard to believe he could write a book like this and not get whacked. I was relieved to discover that, while he is deceased, death came from a blood disease as opposed to the hands of Mr. Ivankov or any of the other criminals he exposes in these pages. Simultaneous to ...

Dark Horse, 2007

Family, human or otherwise...

You'd be lost without them. Other times you wish you'd have never been born. The family you are part of just happens to be a major embarrassment to you, or they just plain don't like you. So, unlike ...

Life Millennium: The 100 Most Important Events and People of the Past 1000 Years

3 reviews

Bulfinch Press, 1998

great images, surprisingly good ideas
I bought this book in a hurry, just for the imagery. However, later, when I had a chance to actually read it, I was pleasantly surprised. It is a quite intelligent and creative summation of the past 1000 years. Although it hits all the usual highlights, this book rises above the Time-Life standard, sinking neither into sentimentality nor into thoughtless platitudes. I would recommend this book ...

Robert Bell, Suzanne Coffield, ...

Research & Education Association, 2005

Buyer Beware this book has errors!
This book was rushed too print too quickly. Purchased this latest version for my daughter. Very disappointed to find two math errors errors in the first section alone. In fact the very first math problem (a very simple problem) is incorrect. Given this is the first math section how many more errors are there? My daughter doesn't trust the answers which defeats the purpose of the book. Details ...

Shadow of the Fathers

Robert Friedman

Floricanto Press, 2007

Past, Present, History, Mystery
Robert Friedman's "Shadow of the Fathers" is a fascinating tale that brings together past and present in San Juan, New York, Vietnam and Amsterdam. He uses a shocking factual moment of Puerto Rican history in which an American doctor, "Dusty" Rhoades, claims in a secret letter to have killed his several of his Puerto Rican patients, while describing them with utter contempt, and when exposed ...

The 2548 Best Things Anybody Ever Said (Proprietary Edition)

7 reviews
Robert Byrne

Fireside, 2006

Very entertaining.
Usually, I only review music, but I just have to put in my two cents on this book. Perhaps a better title for this extremely entertaining quote book is "The 2,548 Best Things Anybody Ever Said When They Were In A Really Cynical Mood." By limiting himself to the acerbic, Robert Byrne has created a most unusual quote book. Unlike most qoute books, this is not a reference book, but rather a book ...

Well Written Account of American Heroes at Sea
A fascinating account of the crew of the Meredith during WWII who having first picked up survivors from another ship, the Vireo, then endured not only the sinking of their own ship, but the strafing of their liferafts by enemy planes. One of the most poignant moments in the book was when a wounded officer in one of the rafts became disoriented. He stood up and said, "I'll think I'll go and ...

Saunders, 2004

A must!
There are more skin cancers than all other cancers combined in the US! For that reason alone, there is a critical need to have a text that comprehensively presents this topic. CANCER OF THE SKIN fills that need and more. All aspects of this cancer from diagnosis to treatment are fully reviewed. Of particular help was the atlas chapter on "The Many Faces of Melanoma" showing common and ...

Politics of Excellence: Behind the Nobel Prize in Science

2 reviews
Robert Marc Friedman

Henry Holt & Company, 2001

Behind the scenes good stuff
This is the 100th anniversary of the Nobel prizes, and it's a wonder it took this long for someone to take a good look at what went on behind the scenes in Stockholm for all these years. Friedman's book dishes dirt but does it with white gloves and a magnifying glass. The footnotes are just as much fun as the book itself. The book answers some of the questions about the wierdness associated ...
