Inspiring. Encouraging. Optimistic.
In this very personal book Rabbi Levy takes us through her own very personal story of loss so that we may ourselves recover from the death of a loved one. As a young teenager she lost her father and in this work of nonfiction she takes us through her struggle with G-d (HaShem), with helping her mother, and with living the rest of her life without her dad. We are able, as readers, to bond with ...

One Renegade Cell: How Cancer Begins (Science Masters)15 reviews
Robert A. Weinberg
Topeka Bindery, 2001
Must have: great intro and overview of current research
No prior knowledge of cell biology or genetics is required. I have gained an appreciation for the complexity of cancer research thanks to the book. I highly recommend it. You also learn a fair amount of the history of the development of cancer research. And don't think you need to read through hundreds of introductory pages to accomplish this. The book is under 200 pages. Once again: What I ...

Just a beginner
I am just a beginner and with this book I was able to learn some important information about how to begin. It walked me thru the steps for making canes and how to use them. It also gave me some good ideas on future projects.

Monday Begins on Saturday: 214 reviews
Arkadi Strugatski, Boris Strugatski
DAW, 1977
About a world that passed away? No way!
Somebody commented that this book was about a world that had passed away, about Russian scientists of the 60's.
I beg to disagree! That spirit is alive, now more than ever.
I happen to be a computer programmer/researcher myself (just like the protagonist in the book), and the truth is, this is an archetypal book for most of us, the researcher's Bible, if you like.
True, there is a lot of ...

Cassell's Dictionary of Slang (Dictionary)6 reviews
Jonathon Green
Cassell, 2000
Excellent language-lover's resource
Reaching back into English for some centuries and reaching through English as it's written & spoken today in many nations, this dictionary offers what seems a unique guide to the use of words and more particularly, phrases, that I can't find defined in any other work. Indispensable for those who really want to understand exactly what they're reading. While I respect the Californian reader's ...

Delmore Schwartz
New Directions, 1938
Your "Responsibility" to Find Great Literature Ends Here
Five of the stories here are flat-out masterpieces ("In Dreams;" "The World is a Wedding;" "New Year's Eve;" "The Commencement Address;" and "The Track Meet"), while the other 3 are extremely well done, if not as wholly satisfying. This collection should be required reading in every contemporary lit. class. It's got everything: all the themes of struggle, frustration and defeat, ...

After the Darkest Hour : How Suffering Begins the Journey to Wisdom7 reviews
Kathleen A. Brehony, 2001
One of the most helpful books during grieving
I read several books, all of which were helpful to me recently when I lost someone I loved. This book, however, stayed with me. I couldn't put it down and read it all within two nights, actually three, because I saved the last few pages until the third night (didn't want it to end). I had taken it out at the library, but after reading it decided to buy it from Amazon. Brehony incorporates all ...

Kathy Triplett
Lark Books, 2000
Very useful
This is one of the most useful and well-done ceramics books I've found. It strikes a good balance between basic information (i.e., theory) and practical application (in the form of example projects). It has hundreds of good color photos: some of finished work (to stimulate creative ideas), and others showing step-by-step techniques being applied. The text is well-written and full of useful ...

Gregory Jordan
Blackstone Audio Inc., 2008
"You do not have a lot of time."
I desperately needed this book. Not because I'm not successful; I've won many awards in my field and the last time my employer made me take a cognitive test I astonished them by getting a perfect score. No, I needed this book because I want something more. I want the next level up, the bigger stage. You know the level I'm talking about, the big-gun level. And on that level, as one person in this ...
