The Endless City 2 reviews
Ricky Burdett, Deyan Sudjic
Phaidon Press Inc., 2008
A rapidly changing world
This is an excellent work that alerts and informs. The quality of life on this planet is changing rapidly. The way we used to live in communities that interfaced with nature is a rare and rapidly vanishing privilige.
Endless City is a serious study that is easily read. Well done to the LSE group.

The Endless Steppe: Growing Up in Siberia70 reviews
Esther Hautzig
HarperTrophy, 1995
HORROR HAS MANY FACES
An amazing and brave book, worthy of greater publicity. For many years during and just after WWII it was politically incorrect (to say the least) to indicate that Hitler was not the only monster in the 20th century. At the time when the USSR was still more or less our ally it was indeed a brave act for Ms. Hautzig to point out that the dealings of the Soviets were just as dark as those of the ...

Endless Referrals, Third Edition 69 reviews
Bob Burg
McGraw-Hill, 2005
Up to date book and very relevant
With today's marketing ideas changing considerably I found this book a refreshing new approach to a difficult situation of getting referrals. I have already put their ideas into play and find they work very well. Well worth the read.

The Sandman: Endless Nights 43 reviews
Neil Gaiman
Vertigo, 2004
The 11th Volume
In his introduction Neil Gaiman tells us that writing these stories was like coming home. Well, reading them is also like a homecoming. I've read all ten volumes of the Sandman Library over the years and the quality of the stories and the artwork fits in perfectly. I know because I recaptured that same magical feeling that immersed me when I first read the originals. These are timeless stories ...

Endless Universe: Beyond the Big Bang15 reviews
Paul J. Steinhardt, Neil Turok
Doubleday, 2007
An infinitely old universe?
The big bang theory of the origin of the universe has been almost unchallenged for about half a century. Once the discovery of cosmic background in 1963 disposed of the steady-state model proposed by Fred Hoyle and Thomas Gold in the 1950s, it was essentially the only game in town. Oscillatory models never entirely went away, but the inflationary model seemed to explain nearly all the data. At ...

A Ring of Endless Light (Austin Family)205 reviews
Madeleine L'Engle
Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR), 1980
Loved It!!
I loved this book and I would recommend it to girls from the ages 10 and up. This was a good story to connect to your life or the lives of the people around you. The things that happen to Vicky in A Ring of Endless Light might happen or may have happened to the reader. Therefore the plot of the story is believable. I would like to read another story by this author because I loved how thorough ...

Endless Rain (Yaoi)2 reviews
Yuuya
Digital Manga Publishing, 2008
Angst filled and engrossing Yaoi.
Endless Rain is one engrossing read. There is an angst filled plot here with depth. The characters may not be that likable but they are interesting. You either like or dislike Hyougami, the complex, cold and forceful seme, with his secret agenda. As for Akira, he could come across frustrating at times but he is your typical innocent uke with a soft heart. The most likable characters are Nao, ...

Endless Forms Most Beautiful: The New Science of Evo Devo37 reviews
Sean B. Carroll
W. W. Norton, 2006
The "Butterfly Effect" in the genes
The best feature of this book is the fantastic sense of the complexity of the development of the organism from the genes. Sean shows with genius how the tiniest changes in a gene can lead to huge effects in the developing organism -- much like in Chaos theory (see the book "Chaos: making a new science" for example)in mathematics where complex systems are affected by the tiniest influences (i.e., ...

The Endless Web: Fascial Anatomy and Physical Reality2 reviews
R. Louis Schultz, Rosemary Feitis
North Atlantic Books, 1996
Great view of connective tissue as a physical structure
Before I read this book I had never really considered the functioning of connective tissue as a "web-like" structure within which bone and muscle articulate. The authors contend, starting with embrionic anatomy and onward, that the c.t. forms a bed within which cells differentiate. From this view point of c.t. being a primary base for physical form, we are shown how all parts of the web are ...

Endless Universe: Beyond the Big Bang -- Rewriting Cosmic History1 review
Paul J. Steinhardt, Neil Turok
Broadway, 2008
Great book! Illustrations could be better.
I enjoyed it quite a bit. The circular universe theory is very well explained to a person who is not into physics day to day. Having some background in physics (such a good high school or college physics course helps).
I disagree with some of the other reviewers about the personal stories of the authors. I believe it's important to describe how the authors got where they are today.

Stephen R. Lawhead
Thomas Nelson, 2006
Hooked on Lawhead
Mr. Lawhead is one of those authors that you discover and wonder why you have never read him before. I started out on his new book Hood and hve not stopped. I devoured the whole Song of Albion trilogy in out four days and have also just finished Bynantium. While his story lines are certainly not always the same, he is always an excellent and entertaining read. You should of course have ...

Endless Love40 reviews
Scott Spencer
Harper Perennial, 1999
Fascinating study
A fascinating study of first love, young love, and mental disorder. The writing is superb. Author is one of the few who can write long reveries and not bore the reader. The family dynamics were described and studied so well, I was captured by these two tortured, interesting families. David's guilt and sense of responsibility to his mother, Jade's mother, his father, and Jade were ...

Endless Chain (Shenandoah Album)
I read the first book in this series (Wedding Ring) and could not wait to get this book. Emilie Richards writes a very nice story and it keeps you tuning the pages. It is a great story about the lives of many people and the trials and tribulations each person goes through. This book is a great read and when you finish the book you can't wait to read Emilie Richards next one.
I highly recommend ...

Agatha Christie
St. Martin's Minotaur, 2002
A great novel, if not a great mystery
Endless Night is not Agatha Christie's best mystery, nor is it ranked among the favorites by Agatha Christie fans. Judged by the standards of the genre it is easily dismissed, most commonly with a reference to her reuse of a plot technique she introduced many years earlier. But whatever it lacks as a mystery, Endless Night is among the best stories Christie ever wrote.
While Christie's own ...

Every one who reads Endless Possibilites will benefit.
This book is very helpful in teaching us about our journey and understanding the plans and purposes which God has placed upon our lives. After reading the book and doing the bible study that accompanies, I found a greater peace and refreshed perspective in my spiritual life. In better understanding my journey and the journeys of the people in the bible, comfort came in knowing that God has ...
