Heart of the World (A Carlotta Carlyle Mystery)

17 reviews
Linda Barnes

St. Martin's Minotaur, 2006

Best Yet!
Linda Barnes is one of my favorite mystery writers. I love Carlotta, her little "sister", her psuedo-family. Heart of the World is the best yet--wonderful setting in South America and lots of heart-thumping action.

Hypothyroidism: The Unsuspected Illness

30 reviews
Broda Barnes

HarperCollins, 1976

A Medical Classic from a Medical Giant which Still Rings True
Hypothyroidism the Unsuspected Illness, by Broda Barnes MD, is a medical classic and should be required reading for every medical student and doctor. I have read the book many times. The book contains the condensed wisdom of a lifetime of research and clinical experience with the thyroid, and it rings true today as it did in 1976. Thyroid blood tests come and go, yet human physiology remains ...

Nothing to Be Frightened Of

2 reviews
Julian Barnes

Knopf, 2008

Style Battles Content
In NOTHING TO BE FRIGHTENED OF, Julian Barnes uses the history of his immediate family and the comments of many writers--who he considers his "true bloodline"--to examine death, as well as its connection to God. Rest assured that this book, like A History of the World in 10 1/2 Chapters, is a primarily an essayist's intellectual journey. The book is never morbid or creepy. For me, NtbFo was ...

Law for Business

McGraw Hill Higher Education, 2008

Current, Thorough, and User-Friendly
In my opinion, this is the finest business law textbook on the market. It contains well-edited cases for discussion, cogent analysis of policy and legal history, and easy-to-read flowcharts that help students go through the legal reasoning steps. It is extremely user friendly to both the lay student and instructor. In addition to the core contract law chapters, it contains chapters summarizing ...

A History of the World in 10 1/2 Chapters

57 reviews
Julian Barnes

Vintage, 1990

Required reading...
Barnes is, hands down, my favorite writer. Erudite, whip-crackingly funny, and deeply moving, A History of the World in 10-1/2 Chapters is an unconventional guide through the ages and a required read. And the most important chapter of all is the one in which Barnes reveals just a bit of himself; (parentheses).

Objects First With Java: A Practical Introduction Using BlueJ (4th Edition)

26 reviews
David J. Barnes, Michael Kolling

Prentice Hall, 2008

Different form the rest! Objects first, objects alive - what OOP is about.
Most other books on Java are practically carbon copies of each other. They'll take you through the same boring sequence of learning. When you get to objects, you're just overwhelmed with (what seems to be) information of little practical relevance - or at least, no fun. One hardly gets the feel for what the Object Oriented programming hype is all about. BlueJ gives you an IDE and code. Like most ...

Lie Down with the Devil (Carlotta Carlyle Mysteries)

2 reviews
Linda Barnes

St. Martin's Minotaur, 2008

Linda Barnes Shifts Gears
How do you top a great book like Heart of the World? You don't. But with a series, there's a sequel to be written anyway. Paolina is still recovering from the trauma of her kidnapping and its aftermath in South America. The troubling part is that she's pushing Carlotta away. Sam Gianelli, Carlotta's fiancé, is missing in action except for occasional telephone calls when he tells her to keep ...

Aristotle: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions)

4 reviews
Jonathan Barnes

Oxford University Press, USA, 2001

Excellent, approachable introduction Aristotle.
I have tried to approach Aristotle in two ways; reading his works directly, or reading criticisms or synopses of them. I had been stymied in both approaches. The original texts are very opaque and difficult to follow, and many of the expositors assume a greater knowledge than a novice will have. This book solves the problem. Written by an emminent Aristotelian scholar, it puts in plain, ...

Nightwood

21 reviews
Djuna Barnes

New Directions, 2006

Homosexuality is not really the focus -- but it's there
Barnes' Magnum opus, "Nightwood" (1936), was her second novel and one of those books that probably 'must' be read, the same as "Winesburg, Ohio" (Sherwood Anderson), or "The Great Gatsby", (F. Scott Fitzgerald). Poet Donald J. Greiner once wrote, "[It]...stands out among post-World War I American novels as one of the first notable experiments with a type of comedy that makes the reader want to ...

Peter Pan (Barnes & Noble Classics)

1 review
J. M. Barrie

Barnes & Noble Classics, 2005

Captivating, Raw and a Bittersweet ending!
I have just finished this (the original) version of "Peter Pan" and absolutely loved every moment of it. Though being a hopeless romantic as I am, a piece of me wished for Peter and Wendy to stay together. I guess that would have ruined the point Barrie is trying to make "where everyone must grow up". The original book is with out a doubt the best of any version of the story though the movies ...

Great French Paintings From The Barnes Foundation: Impressionist, Post-impressionist, and Early Modern

2 reviews
Barnes Foundation

Knopf, 1995

Barnes Foundation French Paintings
We discovered the Barnes Foundation while on vacation in Philadelphia. Dr. Barnes amassed an amazing art collection, in both depth and breadth from the 1920s-1950s. Our main interest were the Impressionists, and with over 100, we were impressed. We were also impressed by the number of French citizens that were visiting the Foundation to view the artworks. This book does a very good job of ...

Linda Barnes

St. Martin's Minotaur, 2003

Corruption on "the most expensive two miles in the history of the world."
Using Boston's "Big Dig" as her novel's primary setting, Linda Barnes creates a complex but intriguing mystery in which her heroine, Carlotta Carlyle, a six-foot, red-haired private eye, goes undercover as a secretary on the Big Dig construction site. She is helping the Inspector General's Office investigate possible corruption on the $14 billion project to build a two-mile underground tunnel ...

Linda Barnes

St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2005

Interesting plot

The girl, Thea Janis, wrote a brilliant and successful book at a very early age and then disappeared. When Carlotta begins to investigate, she finds that Thea was reported dead many years ago.

EMMA
Emma (Barnes & Noble Classics) Great Book if you like the classics as I do. Quality of the pages is very good (acid free should you wish to keep it and, smooth texture).

Beowulf (Barnes & Noble Classics)

2 reviews
Anonymous

Barnes & Noble Classics, 2005

The epic tale of tales
Monsters defeated by a valiant man who only seeks the priviledge of fighting the greatest foes of his time. In the end, he gives his life as he defeats his enemy. This is a song of larger than life heros who never surrender, and want nothing more than a good fight despite snivelling, hissing cowards who denigrate the heros' efforts. Some things never change. Sadly, the values and ethos of ...

England, England

Julian Barnes

Vintage, 2000

Theme park Britain
In England, England, Julian Barnes inhabits similar territory to that of Unswaorth's Losing Nelson, but humorously. One character lists quintessences (there are more than five) of Englishness and many, perhaps most, are myth, by nature or association. And the purpose of identifying these icons of Englishness is to facilitate the construction, by Sir Jack Pitman on an eventually independent Isle ...

Early Greek Philosophy (Penguin Classics)

7 reviews
Various

Penguin Classics, 2002

The wonder of what is that it is
Philosophy begins in wonder ' at what is that it is'. The Pre-Socratics at the very beginning of the historical enterprise of philosophy( love of wisdom) contradict each other in presenting total visions of the world. For Parmenides all is one unchanging, and the Real is this Eternal Stasis. For Heraclitus " we step and do not step into the same river, we are and are not" All is change. In this ...
