The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath 1 review

Ballantine, 1970
The dream-key of H.P. Lovecraft
_This collection of stories are in my opinion the highest and best creation of Lovecraft's career. They are also the most personal. It is obvious that Randolph Carter is Lovecraft's alter-ego. These stories are the dream map of his life- the source of his inspiration. How many other authors have claimed that their best ideas came from "somewhere else"- often in dreams?
_I would classify these ...

Land of Opportunity: 2One Family's Quest for the American Dream in the Age of Crack 11 reviews
William M. Adler
Plume, 1996
Entertaining and a very realistic portrayal of the Dee.
I lived through this period (late teens) in Detroit and can attest to the influence of the Detroit Drug organizations. In fact, they are probably understated in this book. It was an invigorating, exciting, yet somewhat frightening time to be alive. But enough about that, it's an excellent read, perhaps a little on the "academic" side with the sociological profile of Arkansas. But rest assured, ...

Chris and Nick were racing each other in the woods. Chris fell in a hole and the next thing he knew both Chris and Nick went back in time. They went back to the late 1700's in ...

Artificial Dreams: The Quest for Non-Biological Intelligence
H. R. Ekbia
Cambridge University Press, 2008
This book is a critique of Artificial Intelligence (AI) from the perspective of cognitive science - it seeks to examine what we have learned about human cognition from AI successes and failures. The book's goal is to separate those "AI dreams" that either have been or could be realized from those that are constructed through discourse and are unrealizable. AI research has advanced many areas that are intellectually compelling and holds great ...

Mendeleyev's Dream: The Quest for the Elements15 reviews
Paul Strathern
Berkley Trade, 2002
Worth Re-Reading
This is an outstanding book if you are very interested in both history and science. Some earlier reviewer were disappointed in not finding more information about chemistry, but it's not a chemistry book, it's a history book. A better book about the elements, including each specific element and how each was discovered, is "A Guide to the Elements" by Stwertka. This book is about the history of ...

A Quest of Dreams 2 reviews
Debra Dier
Leisure Books, 1999
Great adventure story!
This book is one of Debra Dier's best. I don't usually like jungle stories, but this one changed my mind. Kate was a courageous heroine and Devlin was a perfect hero. The opening scene gets the book off to a hilarious start. The quest Devlin and Kate are on has an unexepted twist. All in all, a great read!

Hamish Hamilton, 2000
Pretty cool
This was a nice book to read, although there were some pretty big words in it...so if you plan on reading it, have a dictionary on hand! Also, I learned a lot about the elements that i never knew before. If you plan on majoring in any type of science, I highly recommend this book!!

Planetary Dreams: The Quest to Discover Life Beyond Earth10 reviews
Robert Shapiro
Wiley, 2001
A Rather Good Book
I had this book on my shelf for over a year before I took it down for a read. I thought I might be bored by it, since it is a popular treatment of a subject I know pretty well. But Shapiro brought the subject to life in a rather interesting way, dealing not only with the particular issues asociated with the chemistry of life's origin, but with the deeper philosophical issues that lie behind the ...

Fall River Dreams: A Team's Quest for Glory, A Town's Search for Its Soul32 reviews
Bill Reynolds
St. Martin's Griffin, 1995
Great characters, great book
This was one of the best sports books I've read in a while. I really enjoyed Friday Night Lights, and think that this book is it's equal. Thought I am slightly biased, growing up in the Fall River area, and personally watching several Durfee games. But no one can deny the honest and genuine nature of the emotionally charged characters in this story. The relationship between Skippy Karam and Chris ...
