Wonderful String Figures
I have loved Camilla Gryski's string figure books. They are what got my clumsy fingers working and I've been hooked on string figures ever since. I've been buying, and re-buying her books for 15 - 20 years.

Visionaries!
McDonough & Baumgarten have re-envisioned how companies might redesign their manufacturing processes to actually leave the environment better than they found it. And create better products in the end, products that people will want to buy because they are well-designed. What I love about this book is that their vision is mostly a PRIVATE sector solution. They believe that business is the ...

Helpful during a very difficult time
After our son was stillborn in April of 2006, we were looking for any support we could find. We went to the beach and I read this book out loud to my husband cover to cover in 1 day. Everything we were feeling was covered in this book. It was to the point and very validating. We referred to this book daily. I have purchased several of these for our support group and the hospital where our son was ...

A Real Treasure
I bought Cradle of Flavor based on the credentials of the author and on the glowing reviews that this book was a definitive work on Indonesian / Malaysian cooking in English. Granted it is not loaded with photos, which I always enjoy, but the recipes are terrific and what you need to learn about this cooking is in this book. I am very happy I bought it.

Myth making marxist Historians nightmare!
When new evidences arise to challenge the old theories, the theories shlould be discarded and the facts analysed in the light of new evidences. This book precisely does that in case of Aryan Inasion/migration theory. Although the book seems to be intended to general audience, in my thought it should help historians to analyse the historical artifacts in different context and with a fresh new ...

Kurt Vonnegut
Dell Publishing

Surreal yet all too close to the truth...
Vonnegut's novel takes the reader into the myriad faces of human emotions--from disenchantment to awe, skepticism to empathy, from horror and madness to succor and redemption. This dryly humorous and unforgivingly scathing story of the seemingly inevitable tendency of humans to think up of ways to destroy themselves, or, simply, to make complete wretches of their lives, is at times too ...

A classic that's great!
In grad school, we used to say that a classic is a book that was written in a foreign language and that no one reads. "Cradles of Eminence" is a classic, but it's wonderful. And it's fun. It's even well written. Who would have guessed? I picked up the new edition because I remember studying the findings in psych classes years ago and because my kids seem to be very bright (no comments about ...

Useful Christian resource for infertility
I was so pleased to finally be able to read this book. It was great to hear about infertility from both the husband's and wife's points of view. I felt like my struggles with infertility were validated and discovered that there are others feeling the same things as I do. This book does take a Christian perspective to infertility, which I appreciated. While the authors do give some perspective ...

Pain and Healing
We have lost 3 babies in our family. Our dreams of great futures were gone with them. We were desperate to find comfort. This book is healing and helpful to ease the pain.

Very interesting and insightful
This book is very interesting and insightful. It is very interesting to learn about the conditions that caused the world to have high birth rates in the first place and about the conditions that have caused birth rates to be so low in recent years. It is also good to see that there is a solution to the aging of the world's population, and to learn about the changes that need to be made in order ...

The Forms of Relatedness That Make Us Human
This is a terrific and groundbreaking book. Peter Hobson presents a radical and scientifically coherent view of the development of intersubjectivity and its relation to symbolic forms of meaning. He carefully details the developmental science that requires a fully social and sharing human child as the medium for the emergence of consciousness. In laying out his arguments he offers a ...

Audio Vonnegut at its Best
was saddened to hear last year of the death of Kurt Vonnegut. He was an author with cynical wit and satiric voice. From his short stories to his novels, his rye wit gave readers and listeners a humor as well as an interest yarn. In this audio version, veteran audio narrator Tony Roberts is taken to task with all the audio skills he has with this tale of earth's fate . . . and he succeeds very ...

What a relief!
As someone of Scottish descent and a student of Anthropology and History, I really appreciated this text. There are a myriad of books available that purport to tell about Scottish customs, or focus on some narrow aspect of Scottish life, such as clan associations. This book, however, addresses the whole gamet of life of the Scottish folk, from motherhood and child-rearing, through the rites of ...
