A keeper.
This was a textbook in my ethics class, and is definitely a keeper. It outlines works from all of the famous ethical philosophers, and also contains a very helpful "running commentary" throughout. The perfect introduction to the subject, and a lifelong reference guide. I've already used it as a source for papers in other classes.

Good book bad online
The only problem I find in this book is that the outlined information is too broad and defined topics are obscure. Also, the online addition is hard to set up and computer illiterate people may find it impossible.

Excellent Book, Author!
This is my third Joost Elffers book and along with the others, it is a great example of using historical references for learning how to become better. This can be a pleasure read, a historical text, or a self-help book. The quotes are very relevant and bias breaking, and the stories are taken from all types of civilizations and cultures. I am a big fan of this book as well as other Joost Elferrs ...

A Master Work
In a word, this is an exceptional work. A work like this is really outstanding, its got depth and a tremendous scope of indispensable knowledge. Anyone serious about the seduction arts would benifit from adding this book to their collection. It is not a lite read, as it is pretty dense in both scope and breadth of knowledge but that just is what is nessacary to really understad the seduction ...

Perfect Hormone Balance is the BEST fertility book on the Market--if offers an array of "perfect" practical solutions!
I know what you're thinking: "oh no, not another book about fertility". Let me tell you why I like this book and why I think it's important. You don't know this, but my husband and I had a lot of trouble getting pregnant; then I lost some weight and had a summer off work and stopped thinking about it and surprise! I found myself pregnant. Assuming it was a fluke we really didn't think ...

The Quiet American (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition)

Wears well both as literature and political commentary
I recently read THE QUIET AMERICAN directly after having read Greene's THE COMEDIANS. It is striking how similar the two novels are, although they were written about ten years apart. They both deal with political intrigue in a "third world" country (Vietnam in "Quiet American", Haiti in "Comedians"); they both are critical of American intervention (although it is much more front and center in ...

masterpiece!
Believe what you will, but seduction is a traumatic artform. It is in every way the same as war! You must be crafty, charismatic, and patient. Above all, you have to recognize the certain aspects of a person's character and be able to apply the laws taught in this book. Critics may not like the way the author uses the "war-like" metaphors, but it is all true. "All is fair in love and war" applies ...

A Must-Read for Bodyworkers!!!
I purchased this book after I graduated from a fabulous massage program, while awaiting my license. In the first 10 minutes of reading it, I realized I should have had this information BEFORE I started school! The information is concise, practical, and so very important for those of us who heal with our hands. Now that I'm practicing, I refer to it every couple of weeks, especially when I ...

Function Theory of One Complex Variable: Third Edition (Graduate Studies in Mathematics)

Very clear prose, explanations, good motivation, an all-around well-written book
This book is rather unorthodox in a number of respects, but it has become one of my favourite texts in complex analysis. The authors claim that their motivation for their presentation of the subject is to emphasize the interconnectedness of complex function theory with multivariable calculus, and de-emphasize the connection with topology. While I do not exactly agree with these goals, I think ...

Very Important Information....
I've read quite a few books on the subject of HRT and hormonal balance. Yet, Dr. Greene's book is by far the most comprehensive and best written of all those I've come across. The material emcompasses not only information about menopausal issues, but information about the hormonal system of a female from the beginning of life. It is a book that must be read by every female who is curious ...
Introduction to Topology: Second Edition

exceptionally well organized
This is a lean fast introduction to topology at the third or fourth year level. Pure math types only. The book is terse but the topics are selected with care and one things leads to the next. The proofs are sufficiently detailed. Nearly every exercise has a solution in the back. The clearest exposition of the fundamental group I've seen.
