How to Brew: Everything You Need To Know To Brew Beer Right The First Time

John J. Palmer

Brewers Publications, 2006

One of the half-dozen best brewing books
I love this book. It manages to be one of the best basic (in this case inclusive of both extract as well as main-line all-grain techniques) brewing books while still touching on a number of advanced subjects. Like another reviewer, I also like Dave Miller's book (Dave Miller's Homebrewing Guide) and regard Palmer's and Miller's books as very complementary and both essential reading for ...

Carlos Montezuma, M.D.: A Yavapai American Hero--The Life and Times of an American Indian, 1866-1923

Leon Speroff

Arnica Publishing, 2003

History every American citizen should know
This passionately written book relates the story of an amazing man whose life existed in two cultures: one Americans label as native/indigenous, the other as cultured/civilized. The circumstances of Montezuma's life placed him in a position few had at that time to help bridge the gap. The rich and well researched detail in this book gives the reader insite into a time and subject in American ...

T. F. Sisters

1st Books Library, 2002

You Gotta Read This Book!!!
T. F. Sisters has turned out a top-notch first effort of mystery and betrayal. The story's plot twists were unexpected, and kept me on the edge of my seat. It is just mindblowing that four real-life sisters worked together to create such a seamless work of wonder. You gotta read this book!!!

Strange Brew: Eric Clapton and the British Blues Boom

Christopher Hjort

Jawbone Press, 2007

The BIBLE: God, Father of God, Green God and Younger Brother of God
I'm not kidding with this title (well, maybe half-kidding). Like the Bible is, in some ways, the history of the Hebrew people, this book is a veritible day-by day document of the activities of Slowhand (God), John Mayall (Father), Peter Green (Green God) and Mick Taylor (Younger brother of God). I'll admit to being at first a bit put off about the calendar style of writing, but you easily sink ...

Brewers Publications, 2005

A Conversation around the Fire
Imagine that you-an experienced homebrewer-got to gather around a fire with some folks who had years of experience brewing versions of your favorite beer style. It would be hard to have a bad time, harder still not to come away a better brewer for it. This friendly, if somewhat disorderly book is just that conversation. I love the complexity and depth of belgian strong beers. Occasionally, by ...

Devil's Brew

The Fiction Works, 2004

Action! Action!Action!
I've known Keith Spence for 14 years, we were even neighbors, wow, just wow! I've read his pieces in the local paper, but didn't know this side of him! Keith grabs the reader by the jugular, beginning on page one. Devil's Brew is well researched and thought out and captures life in Eastern N.C. only the way a native could. David Joubert is tough as nails, resourceful, a veritable "one man army", ...

New Riders Press, 2003

a great reference for the security of everything Mac OS X
If you're the owner of a Macintosh running OS X and security is either a concern or an interest, this book is a great reference. It covers both the very basics in good layman's terms and identifies what is useful information to the average user, such as safely sharing a computer between many users, encrypting files, saving passwords, and how to prevent unauthorized use. For system administrators ...

Susanna Gregory

Little Brown, 1998

Susanna Gregory Writes Great Medieval Mysteries.
Susahna Gregory is my most favourite medieval mystery author. She's a master and her Matthew Bartholemew series is great. She uses historical detail and real people in her books. Her books are long but she takes time to develop a plot. I read this book a few months ago, but it didn't appear in Amazon, so I couldn't review it then. This particular story delves into the in-fighting between two ...

Diana F. Marks

Teacher Ideas Press, 1996

A Homeschooler's dream
Too many recipies to ever list...non-newtonian fluids?? They're in there! Honestly, there is a recipe for every craft need I could think of...and many more. The best thing is that there are some many versions of each recipes. If you don't have ingredients for one, there several versions. Don't stay home without it!

Patricia Telesco

New Page Books, 2005

Offers spice-infused recipes for all kinds of potions
Plenty of magic books speak of witch's brews, but too few go into the specifics of their construction. New age Wiccan practitioners just starting out will thus welcome Patricia Telesco's Kitchen Witch's Guide To Brews And Potions, which offers spice-infused recipes for all kinds of potions. You needn't look for exotic ingredients, either: symbolic beverages contain juices and ordinary ...

Wireless Game Development in C/C++ with BREW (Wordware Game Developer's Library)

Ralph Barbagallo

Wordware Publishing, Inc., 2003

Good Code, Good Book, Good Times
I just got this book, having pre-ordered it awhile ago. As a BREW games developer, I am finding Mr. Barbagello's explanation of some of the finer points of BREW very useful. I've already had a few "Doh! So *that's* how that works!" moments, and I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in coding applications for BREW. BREW has a definite learning curve to it, but this book could ...

Grendel

Brew City Press, 2007

Another win by Brosky
I have read many of Ken Brosky's short stories over the years and find that his new novel, Grendel, is the best read by far. It kept me on the edge of my seat as I traveled with Tyler to hell and back. Brosky writes with compelling detail that leaves you wanting more. Can't wait to read his next offering!

The Complexities of Care: Nursing Reconsidered (The Culture and Politics of Health Care Work)

2 reviews

ILR Press, 2006

A must read for the modern nurse
I purchased this book and "Nursing Against the Odds" by Gordan at the same time. While this book provided inspiring articulation of my own thoughts at this point in my career, the other one was just depressing. I coasted through this book of essays by different authors and felt empowered and encouraged. The chapter by Diana Mason was particularly interesting for me. I think this is a timely ...

C. I. Lewis: The Last Great Pragmatist (S U N Y Series in Philosophy)

Murray G. Murphey

State University of New York Press, 2005

C. I. Lewis a great American Scholar & Philosopher
Great Biography of a Great teacher and Philosopher in the great tradition of American Pragmatism. Points out the difficulties in the Material Implication that has bummed out students of Logic for years. Probably the best teacher of Modal Logic as well. The Biographer does a good job showing Lewis' place in American Philosophy.

Exotic Brew: The Art of Living in the Age of Enlightenment

3 reviews
Piero Camporesi

Polity, 1994

one of his best
Not as jaw-droppingly fascinating as "The Incorruptible Flesh" but better than his book about blood, "Exotic Brew" is full of trenchantly rendered facts based on an insane amount of research. Camporesi's writing style satisfies the layman and scholar alike, and I love how he drops these super creative insights into the way people lived long ago so easily. It's awesome that so many of Camporesi's ...
