Bad Acts and Guilty Minds: Conundrums of the Criminal Law (Studies in Crime and Justice)3 reviews
Leo Katz

University Of Chicago Press, 1987

Hard cases make bad law?
On the contrary, says Leo Katz: hard cases _expose_ bad law and force us to correct it. The flaws in apparently sound principles aren't always obvious when we apply them only to easy cases. With this approach, Katz offers a book that is all but unique in the legal/philosophical literature, and one that should appeal to lawyers, law students, and nonlawyers alike. Bringing to bear a large ...

Conundrums for the Long Week-End : England, Dorothy L. Sayers, and Lord Peter Wimsey4 reviews
Robert Kuhn McGregor, Ethan Lewis

Kent State University Press, 2000

This Book Nominated for an Edgar Award
I agree that fans of the Wimsey novels will enjoy this book most, but I also think those interested in the period between the world wars, as well as those who like good biography will find much here. Mystery buffs who haven't read Sayers may find this book provides the motivation to do so. I particularly enjoyed the authors' discussion of how Sayers' Wimsey differs from Conan Doyle's Sherlock ...
  
  











  



  
Eye-Pleasing, Mind-Teasing 3-D Conundrums2 reviews
Laszlo Kresz, Karoly Kresz, ...

Sterling, 2003

Eye-pleasing is an excellent description
It is a close call when trying to decide if the most beautiful aspect of this book is the extent of the detail of the images of the puzzles or the puzzles themselves. The coloration, contrast, orientations and three-dimensional aspects of the images are astonishing and the publishers are to be commended for spending the extra resources to achieve the high quality. Many of them even have realistic ...
  
  











  



  
Exit, Pursued by a Bee4 reviews
Geoff Nelder

Double Dragon Publishing, 2008

Fun and thought provoking
I love to read books a little bit quirky, a bit out of the ordinary and after reading the blurb for this book, how could I resist? "Exit, Pursued by a Bee is driven by a Southern-belle heroine-astronaut, involves a paleolithic mongrel called Kur, Glastonbury Festival chaos, steamy sex in space, a mean-momma loose-cannon journalist and an out-of-control general who'd fix anything by nuking ...
  
  











  



  
Beethoven in Denver and Other Poems2 reviews
Burton Raffel

Conundrum Press, 1999

Beethoven's Back!
A super collection! Burton Raffel's poetry is accessible without being superficial--a rare combination. Beethoven in Denver is sharp, funny, and thoughtful, full of wisdom and humor; each poem builds on the preceding one until, by book's end, the reader is completely emersed.
  
  











  



  
Cat Conundrums: Simple Solutions to Everyday Problems (Pet Peeves)2 reviews
Gary R. Sampson

Emmis Books, 2005

Awesome Book for cat lovers
This book gives you valuable information on cat behavior with a twist of humor. It gives a little insight on why sometimes cats behave the way they do. I really enjoyed reading this as a pet owner and can relate to one chapter in particular. Dr. Sampson has helped me work with my cat with some behavior problems and he know his stuff!!! Great book and highly recommend it!
  
  











  



  
Living, Loving, and Other Heresies2 reviews
Zsolt

Conundrum Press, 2004

Living, Loving and Other Heresies
This book puts words to moments that take your breath away. Cheeks get sore from smiling, tears flow abundantly. Zsolt grabs the reader and together they pell mell down mountainsides, slip into the chilling warmth of therapy pool and ride in a wheelchair massaging the most from life's offerings. This book expands the heart. It gives a new and welcoming perspective to those we called handicapped, ...
  
  











  



  
Conundrum (Dragonlance: The Age of Mortals)2 reviews
Jeff Crook

Wizards of the Coast, 2001

The book that drew me in...
This was the first Dragonlance novel I had ever read. It was the cover art that attracted me to this book (...a stupid reason to decied to read a book, huh?). I knew nothing about the characters, their history, or the World in which they lived, but I decied to give it a chance. Quickly (much too quickly) I became emotionally attached to most of the characters in this book; those foolish, ...
  
  











  



  
Letters from a Stranger5 reviews
James Tipton

Conundrum Press, 1998

"a dense, delicous book on what we may willingly give away.
James Tipton's Letters From a Stranger is a dense and delicious book of poetry in which the reader joins the author on a journey that rambles, yet closely examines the essences of what constitute life, loving, and belief. It is a work of contradictions, searching yet grounded; hungry yet consumed; concerned with metaphysical matters yet held to time and place with a crafted and careful ...
  
  











  



  
Conundrum1 review
Mary Louise Holle

Dorrance Pub Co, 1999

Groundbreaking...A Great Read!
_Conundrum_ by M.L. Holle does something one just doesn't see every day in the world of mystery. It lets a _nurse_ be the sleuth and not the doctor. Written with obvious expertise in the field of medicine (and probably nursing specifically), this book serves up a fascinating story made all the more credible by the true-to-life goings on of a modern hospital. My hat is off to M.L. Holle for ...

The author actually accompanied the expedition to the Himalayas and did on site dispatches of the historic event. It would be as James Morris ...

Conundrum: The Evolution of Homosexuality1 review
N. J. Peters

AuthorHouse, 2006

The Straight Talk on Gay Science
A "conundrum" is a difficult problem, one without an easy answer, and that makes Conundrum an excellent title for a book about the evolution of homosexuality. This book looks at a topic that I am frequently asked about by my students. If behavior is something that has evolved, and if individuals are "supposed to" reproduce, why do people so often do things that seem counterproductive to that ...

Castle Conundrum1 review
Franklin W. Dixon

Minstrel, 2001

soon to be classic
My mom, dad and I have read many mystery books in both the hardy boys books and Alfred Hitchcock. But this book is defenitly one of my favorites because of its stuning plot and non-stop suspense! once you pick this book up you can't put it down because your always waiting for the next clue to figuring out who or what is behind the mystery of the stolen treasure while giving Frank and Joe a few ...
