Pot Culture: The A-Z Guide to Stoner Language and Life 12 reviews
Shirley Halperin, Steve Bloom
Abrams Image, 2008
I'm the pot genius now
I bought this book once I heard it being advertised on 107.7 The End as one of the best marijuana books around. Each page has new, interesting information and a lot of it is related to celebrity stoners. Each day you can find something new in the book, and all my friends are in awe of the book and love to sit and read it. GREAT BOOK

Counter Hack Reloaded: A Step-by-Step Guide to Computer Attacks and Effective Defenses (2nd Edition) (Radia ...44 reviews
Edward Skoudis, Tom Liston
Prentice Hall PTR, 2006
On a path to being a Ethical Hacker.
This book is absolutely awesome. It's very organized, which is my number one need in a book. It's narrowed down, it's technical, but Ed writes things in a way that just sticks. The way this book starts out is very logical, it's a progression. It starts you off with:
-TCP/IP(Which is a must)
-Windows Overview(Which is a must)
-Unix/Linux Overview(Get the picture?)
Then it goes into

The Official High Times Pot Smokers Handbook: Featuring 420 Things to do When You're Stoned7 reviews
David Bienenstock, High Times Magazine Editors
Chronicle Books, 2008
A Fresh Pot-pourri
As the head of a national marijuana reform organization, I've read A LOT of books about marijuana. This one ranks up there as one of the most fun and informative. Who better to lay out the various elements of marijuana than David Bienenstock and the folks at High Times? This book has tons -- or should I say kilos? -- of information on marijuana culture, politics, activism, entertainment, and ...

Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me, 7th Edition 324 reviews
Paula Begoun, Bryan Barron
Beginning Press, 2007
I'm impressed!
Wow! This book really stands out with its scientific references. How often do you find complete references including even the page numbers of the scientific journal, in a popular book? I thoroughly enjoyed this book even though cosmetics are not really my thing (I'm too lazy or "busy" to bother). Now I actually find myself using face creams and sunscreens. I used to think all cosmetic products ...

Fixing Climate: What Past Climate Changes Reveal About the Current Threat--and How to Counter It8 reviews
Wallace S. Broecker, Robert Kunzig
Hill and Wang, 2008
Another voice weighs in.
Before I talk a bit about why I really liked this book, let me first mention that the title is a bit misleading. The book does indeed cover CO2, but only gets around to ideas about fixing climate in the last few chapters, and even talks mostly about how difficult it would be while only offering a couple of solutions that would require huge and expensive projects.
As I was reading this book it ...

Whaazup!? Is it 4:20 already? Time to wake and bake!
Being a young man with an abusive atheist father and a mom that ran out on me when I was 3, I have always had this huge void in my life. When I was a pup I would fill this void by stealing things and engaging in the destruction of other people's property!
In middle school I got violent. I would pick on the kids that were smaller then me ...

Greg Green
Green Candy Press, 2005
Serious Marijuana (a book for all plant lovers who want advanced material)
To have gone through this book and come out the other side is a profound experience, like some sort of a futuristic biology class that specialized in the stuff that gets you best baked. I would not hesitate to force any kind of plant lover to gravitate towards this book like it was about a rose bush or an apple tree. It is a progressively deeper and meaningful insight into the world of plants and ...

The European Reformations5 reviews
Carter Lindberg
Wiley-Blackwell, 1996
An important development in Western culture, well explained.
This is a must-read. Lindberg's introduction to the Reformation not only weaves an exciting narrative about the men and women (mostly men) who shaped the Reformation, but provides insight to the culture that produced them with real sympathy and conviction. In addition to the expected chapters on Luther, Zwingli, Calvin, the "radical reformers" et al, Lindbergh explains the Reformations ...

From Counterculture to Cyberculture: Stewart Brand, the Whole Earth Network, and the Rise of Digital ...7 reviews
Fred Turner
University Of Chicago Press, 2008
An excellent record of an amazing life
Stewart Brand is a high-IQ Zelig, who has been a catalyst of so many important developments throughout the last 4 decades of the 20th century. This volume is more scholarly, and more revealing of the social forces at work, than Markoff's What the Dormouse Said. It focuses with great intensity on Brand, due to Turner's unique access to Brand's diaries in the Stanford Library. SB is shown to have ...

So Funny!

I finished this book in 3-4 hours. Totally hilarious! It had me cracking up every couple of pages, and I totally agree with the thing about wearing belts so that the buckle is on the side, rather than the front of your pants. AWESOME!!!

Street Scene: How To Draw Graffiti-Style 5 reviews
John Lee
Impact Books, 2007
Good for Kids
It should be pointed out that this is a unique book on drawing cartoon characters, not actually making graffiti. My young son particularly likes the skateboard stuff in this book, and he is able to follow along with the step-by-step demonstrations easily. Kids will like this.
