Raising Boys Without Men: How Maverick Moms Are Creating the Next Generation of Exceptional Men

81 reviews
Peggy Drexler, Linden Gross

Rodale Books, 2005

An Excellent and Much-Needed Book
It is inarguable that basic types of families in this country have changed drastically in the last few decades. Whether your politics are from the left or the right, whether you accept these new varieties of family with liberal openness, or reject them with conservative parsimony, you cannot dispute that they exist. As Peggy Drexler informs us in her book Raising Boys Without Men, "The U.S. ...

Secret History;: or, The Horrors of St. Domingo and Laura (Broadview Editions)
Leonora Sansay

Broadview Press, 2007

Based on Leonora Sansay's eyewitness accounts of the final days of French rule in Saint Domingue (Haiti), Secret History is a vivid account of race warfare and domestic violence. Sansay's writing provocatively draws comparisons between Saint Domingue during the Haitian Revolution and the postrevolutionary United States, while fluidly combining qualities of the eighteenth-century epistolary novel, colonial travel writing, and political ...

Jerome Drexler

Universal Publishers, 2008

A Self-Consistent Theory for Cosmology and Dark Matter
This very interesting book presents in historical fashion the material of the various books and papers written previously by the author on the subject, and explains how his theory answers a great many questions of astronomy and cosmology, plus makes predictions as to how the theory can be verified. Instead of trying to explain why no one has yet been able to find the so-called Cold Dark Matter, ...

Secret Agents: The Menace of Emerging Infections

Madeline Drexler

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2003

A very thoughtful and thought provoking read
As a neophyte in the understanding of bacteria and infectious desease I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Knowing how fine a line we walk in our symbiotic relationship with bacteria is as frightening as it is fascinating. I belive this book should be required reading in schools.

Robert Venturi: Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture

5 reviews
Robert Venturi

"The Museum of Modern Art, New York", 1977

Gateway towards looking at architecture
I had to read this book for a class specifically regarding Robert Venturi and the postmodernism movement that he became a leading proponent of. However, this book is NOT a manifesto for a postmodern vacabulary- rather, this book looks at all architecture from the Parthenon to the common family home. Let me say that I have read many architectural theory books, but nothing that really inspired me ...

Engines of Creation: The Coming Era of Nanotechnology

43 reviews
Eric Drexler

Anchor, 1987

Definitely a provocative read!
I read this book a number of years ago, and it still has a special place in my canon of books on technology and humanity. This is an engaging and lucid look at the future potential, and dangers, of miniturization, nano-scale physics and science meeting together in the form of nanotechnology. The ideas of molecular construction and deconstruction are truly intriguing and scary. Imagine being ...

Ships of the Line (Star Trek)

35 reviews

Star Trek, 2007

Excellent book for those who love Star Trek ships...
I've been a fan of the "Ships of the Line" calendars for many years. This book is essentially a compilation of those stunning images, with some explanatory captions added. As such, it's a wonderful volume for any Star Trek fan who enjoys "beauty shots" of the various ships shown in the series. It should be noted, however, that these are pieces of original digital artwork. They are not screen ...

Educators Pub Service, 2007

THIS IS A GOOD INVESTMENT
This is a great book. I am in seventh grade and i find this book very easy to comprehend and read. The words are complex, yet some of them I was already familiar with. The only flaw in this book is the writing spaces. I find that ther is never enough room for me to write down a sentance or even copy one. Other than the space issue I find this book very useful, the way the lesson are seet up it is ...

Vulgar Lives

1 review
Rosalyn Drexler

Chiasmus, 2007

very fascinating, but fails to engage
Rosalyn Drexler's Vulgar Lives claims to depict a narrative of incest between a brother and sister, yet does little to illuminate the complexities of their relationship. The central premise of the fractured narrative is of RD (possibly meant to be a version of the author herself) writing letters to her dead brother Edmund. Throughout the succession of letters RD describes (fictitious?) ...

University of Pennsylvania Press, 2005

Sculpture of all kinds and the history of Glass Sculpture in Museums
Martha Drexler Lynn writes with the voice of a fiction writer and the mind of a scholar. She takes us through the issues common to all sculpture over time and then visits 26 museum collections and discusses how sculpture made of glass found its way into those collections. This book will be interesting not only to art historians and scholars but to those interested in how works of art find their ...

Nanosystems: Molecular Machinery, Manufacturing, and Computation

K. Eric Drexler

Wiley, 1992

A rare Fifth Star simply for its place in history.
Finally we may play with the "building blocks of matter" we've been hearing so much about. Here is an instruction manual, detailing the Elements, and their Interactions, while at the same time suggesting possible Design Models for construcion. Curious about the subject? Start with Drexler's Engines of Creation, instead. Maybe some other collections of theoretical applications to whet your ...

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Technical Manual

Star Trek, 1998

So amazingly written you actually believe the tech exists!
While I am a long time Star Trek fan, I tend to stay away from books such as this one because I just see it as another way for Paramount to get into our pocket books. I just lightly browsed this book one day in a book store and next thing I knew almost an hour had gone by! This has to be one of the most engrossing works of fictional tech I have ever seen. There are times where you almost wonder ...
