A Book Aout Design: Complicated Doesn't Make It Good
This is a great book to teach basic principles of design in a simple, yet understandable way. It can teach ages from kindergarten to adult. I wish every elementary classroom could have a copy to help kids with their art projects!

Complicated Women: Sex and Power in Pre-Code Hollywood

Mick LaSalle

St. Martin's Griffin, 2001

Indispensible book for fans of pre-code cinema
Not only is "Complicated Women" the definitive work on women in pre-code Hollywood, it's one helluva fun read. Here's some of what I'm talking about: "Harding plays the moment like she just had a lobotomy." "The Colbert with a smile in her voice who always sounds like it's midnight and someone just opened the champagne." "No one did lust on screen like Norma Shearer. She was the complete ...

When You and Your Mother Can't Be Friends: Resolving the Most Complicated Relationship of Your Life

25 reviews
Victoria Secunda

Delta, 1991

"Why can't she accept me the way I am?"
This was an illuminating book that helped me straighten out my perspectives with relation to my mother. No matter that my mother was a very independent woman for her generation (post-Victorian) who worked most of her life, defying many stereotypes, she had real difficulties maneuvering a marriage and a child. A controller-suffocator, martyr, and frequent critic, the impact of these traits ...

4 reviews

Harper Paperbacks, 2001

She's the boss, applesauce!!!
In her characteristic sarcastic wit and dry humor style, Judge Judy addresses some serious topics with this entertaining book. Bringing her perspective from many years of adjudicating Family Court issues, Ms. Sheindlin could qualify as a psychiatrist as much as she is a judge. Written in a "Dear Abby" format, Judy answers many letters apparently written to her regarding family disputes over the ...

Complicated Watches and Their Repair

2 reviews
Donald de Carle

Robert Hale, 1995

A complement to Practical Watch Repairing
I don't agree with the last review. This book has to be viewed as a complement, a second volume, to Practical Watch Repairing of the same author. You have to read the first book to fully understand it. If you look at this book as a second volume of the classic Practical Watch Repairing, it deserves 4 stars. It does not cover new automatic movements from the 70s and 80s, but every automatic system ...

Health Is Simple, Disease Is Complicated
James Forleo

North Atlantic Books, 2008

In this breakthrough book, Dr. James Forleo proposes a return to the body as the site of self-healing. The problem, he says, is that we don’t understand the language of signs and symptoms it uses to communicate its healing messages. Health Is Simple helps readers decipher that language and access the great realms of health and vitality the body contains. Written in a clear, engaging style, the book takes a systems approach to health, ...

Excellent intro to SQL and PL/SQL
This book covers it all - the SQL you need to be able to write PL/SQL, and then actual PL/SQL procedures, functions, triggers, and packages. Look at the Table of Contents - covers everything you need. And easy to read too.

Miriam Toews

Counterpoint, 2005

Rebel angels
Nomi, the first person narrator, is growing up in an isolated Mennonite community in Manitoba. They apparently drive cars and use electricity but are sufficiently distinctive that tourists come to photograph them. (She has great fun mocking the attitudes of the tourists.) There's a lot of interesting background information about Amish and Hutterite sects, which show remarkable parallels to ...

A Riveting Look at the Culture and Science of Sugar and Sweet Tooths
The Taste of Sweet gives readers plenty of (delicious) food for thought. Sugar love Joanne Chen sets herself the task of explaining why it is we love sweets so much, but in the process, teaches about everything from taste buds to artificial sweeteners. It's a combination history lesson and science lesson, along with an impassioned argument that, just maybe, sweets can be good for you. I know - ...

Sempe: Everything is Complicated (Sempe)

Jean-Jacques Sempé

Phaidon Press, 2006

A fine collection of classic sempe...
Sempe's whimsical illustrations deftly captured with a brilliant touch of wit and humour, the foibles of the bourgeoisie and the ironies of Life. This particular compilation is well worth getting together with its companion "Nothing is Simple". Some of Sempe's more morbid artwork may remind you of the dark humour of Charles Addams, another noted and well-loved New Yorker illustrator. If ...

Not Just for Doctors and Nurses!
I am a pregnant diabetic woman with no medical training, and I highly recommend this book to others like me who want some good information on pregnancy and diabetes. It is appropriate for type I, type II, and gestational diabetes. It has great facts such as a graph of 1st trimester HbA1c's vs. number of congenital malformations and a table with each congenital malformation and the associated ...

This book remedies this dilemma by gathering essays by authors from around the world who have studied and applied chaos and complexity theories to their teaching.
