Marvelous book!
The Noble Wilds touches my heart to see how our feathery animal friends can be so lovely, considerate and protective towards their partner and children; such a humanly behavior. It also makes me treasure our Mother Nature magnificent works even more! Great book with beautiful photos and in simple English! The Noble Wilds

Beautiful dreamers

Author George Johnson's mission is to list and describe the top 10 most "beautiful" experiments that have explored the mysteries of science. By "beautiful," he means an experiment that has a straightforward elegance, where "confusion and ambiguity are ...

The Prophet252 reviews
Kahlil Gibran
Alfred A. Knopf, 1923
A pedestal on life
I picked up this book later in life after many family hardships befell me. Rather than looking to religion or self help books an honest and humble friend read versus from this book to me. Having loved poetry and free verse most of my life I was struck with vivid beauty in the simplicity of the words that graced my ears that night. Kahlil Gibran in his day was renowned for his prose and how he ...

The Mystery Method: How to Get Beautiful Women Into Bed 140 reviews
Mystery, Lovedrop
St. Martin's Press, 2007
A must read
I have met Mystery. By the way he has not made a dime off this book. It should also be noted that his former business manager is making all the money off this and not Mystery. Mystery is no longer at themysterymethod.com either. Sad but this happens too often.

The History of Love: A Novel269 reviews
Nicole Krauss
W. W. Norton, 2006
Read it!!!
I loved this book! It's sweet and funny and very human. The author has created characters that are so real you feel as if you've known them all your life. The story is captivating -- touching, moving, sad, hopeful, and hard to let go. It's not linear though, so practical types move on. But for the romantics among us, and for anyone who treasures the novel as a literary form, it's beautiful.

The Old Man and The Sea680 reviews
Ernest Hemingway
Scribner, 1995
Rekindling the Connection
This is my favorite Hemingway work by far, although I've also enjoyed some of his other books. To me, this one stands out because Hemingway's prose perfectly matches the grace and silent strength of Santiago, who is one of the most endearing fictional characters I've ever encountered. True, there isn't a lot of plot here, and I remember thinking it was slow when I read it in high school (even ...

Beautiful Boy: A Father's Journey Through His Son's Addiction86 reviews
David Sheff
Houghton Mifflin Co, 2008
An incredible, incredible book
Being that I'm currently going through much the same thing that David Sheff went through--albeit on a smaller scale (if there is such a thing as a "smaller scale" of addiction when your own kid is the addict)--Beautiful Boy made me cry like a baby many, many times. I'm sure if you read it, it will affect you, too. So many of the thoughts the dad has are dead on with what I've experienced over the ...

Undaunted Courage : Meriwether Lewis, Thomas Jefferson, and the Opening of the American West343 reviews
Stephen Ambrose
Simon & Schuster, 1997
Undaunted Courage
I will keep it simple. Next to the Holy Bible ~ best book I ever read. I have since then read several of Stephen Ambrose's books and highly recommend them. He and his family put many years of research in before writing any book. I have travelled across the country all the way to Cape Disapportment as a result of reading the book and following the trail. Everything Mr. Ambrose claimed in the ...

A suprisingly informative book
I was concerned that this might be a coffee table picture book of pretty website, but it could not be further than that! The wide range of topics covered include how colors work together and what they symbolize, how to determine pleasing proportions, image file formats, typography, back ground textures... just a huge range subjects you won't find much of in books that teach or reference the code ...

The Canon: A Whirligig Tour of the Beautiful Basics of Science68 reviews
Natalie Angier
Mariner Books, 2008
A very fun tour through the basics of science
The author provides a very fun tour through the basics of science - not at the "how to solve the equations" level, but at the "how and why this is fun and important" level. The chapters follow nicely one after the other. The writing style helped this be a page-turner for me, with zing and zest on every page. The two major drawbacks of the book (and they're minor ones) is the significant number ...

Peter Mayle
Vintage, 1991
A Humorous Look at Cultural Differences in the South of France
This book was a wonderful journey for me. I have traveled in the South of France and remember how beautiful the region is, yet how different its people are from a cultural standpoint. This is a fantastic read for anyone who wants to learn more about French culture, especially Provencal culture. For an interesting look at Parisian culture, I recommend "A Year in the Merde" by Paul West.

Fun and insipring recipes!
I really love this cookbook, and have given it to a number of my clients (I'm a nutrition counselor). It's got a wide variety of recipes, and I find it very helpful that they're organized by individual variety of green. My very favorite is the Sesame Creamed Dandelion Greens.
