iWoz: Computer Geek to Cult Icon: How I Invented the Personal Computer, Co-Founded Apple, and Had Fun Doing It

Steve Wozniak

W. W. Norton, 2007

Great contrast to the Steve Jobs story
I bought this book about a year ago when I had recently been laid off and wanted to introduce some new ideals into my brain. I read the Second Coming of Steve Jobs, which showed how a man can be a cutthroat and succeed. iWoz however, shows how a man can find success doing something he loves, and not get hung up on money or power. After initially reading the book I thought it was kind of ...

Rick Steves' France 2008 (Rick Steves)

Rick Steves, Steve Smith

Avalon Travel Publishing, 2007

Thanks Steve. We had a blast.
Having used many guidebooks, I think these are the best. Granted, the Rick Steves books are unique in that they are selective in the areas that they describe, but these areas are described well. With his guides, you feel like Rick is on the trip as your personal tour guide. Most guides (Frommers, Foders, etc.) give you a superficial overview of the whole country. Rick lets it all hang out. ...

The Art and Science of CSS

Jonathan Snook, Steve Smith, ...

SitePoint, 2007

A book to the more experienced ones.
I've bought and already finished to read this book. I'm a interface developer with a good background into CSS and XHTML; i think that this book was not written to somebody interested into the fundamentals and step-by-step of the CSS. It's a collection of code-based insights (for each chapter, 2 or 3 progressive explanations) from the authors; it's amazing if you (like me, when i bought it) ...

Excellent Overall for 200-level class

Paris 2008
This is the best book on Paris. And it appeared that every American in Paris that we saw was carrying one! We had the Lonely Planet Paris also and a Frommer's but left them in the apartment and carried this one. I had faxed one of the recommended hotels ahead of our trip and while we chose to rent an apartment the hotel was going to honor what was promised by Rick Steves. We learned quickly that ...

Nothing Special: Living Zen

Charlotte J. Beck, Steve Smith

HarperOne, 1993

Beck at her best, as always
I read "Everyday Zen" several times and loved it. Recently saw this book on the shelf, bought it immediately and was not disappointed. I am not sure where one of the previous reviewers got the notion that there are no teachings in Zen. The very history of it is based on names of teachers, starting with Buddha. Rinzai, Boddhidharma, Suzuki - these are just a few that come to mind. Well, Beck is ...

West Publishing Company, 2003

worst textbook ever
It is outrageous that this book is being used in law school classrooms. I am shocked by the amount of grammatical and spelling mistakes in the book. Much worse than that, however, the substance of the book was abysmal. There was very little explanation of the sections in Article Nine. The book was mostly the Article Nine reprinted with hypothetical problems. The problems, however, could not ...

And If You Think The Book Is Great....
If you live anywhere near Minneapolis get yourself over to the Walker Art Center, where every single one of Zak Smith's drawings/paintings/sculptures (yes, some are three dimensional) for this project are displayed on one wall. (All are in the permanent collection of the Walker.) How do I know it's all 750+ artworks? Because I counted. 45 columns by 17 rows. You could spend hours staring at ...

A well written drama of one family riven by competing loyalties
Set in the days preceding Geonosis, Honor and Duty is a both a political whodunit and a human drama, the story of the disintegration of the government mirrored in the unraveling of one family sworn to protect the Republic. Sagoro Autem is a 4th generation Senate Guard, the men with blue capes and helmets you may have noticed in the background in the prequel films. While investigating the murder ...
