Doubleday, 2008

Inspiring and Enlightening
Dr. Kaku presents another outstanding book to expand our minds to endless possibilities. Why limit ourselves when we need, more than ever, to think out of the box, and ask the big "what if" questions. In my own writing, vis-i-vis, The Ninth Cube, I have tried to answer these questions, alot of them inspired from the work of Dr. Kaku. I throughly enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone. ...

Helping Skills: Facilitating Exploration, Insight, and Action

Clara E. Hill

American Psychological Association (APA), 2004

Great for Experiential Learning
This book leads the reader through a three stage model of helping: exploration, insight, and action. This book is incredibly well-balance between Rogerian, psychodynamic, and CBT skill sets. If you just pick up the book and read it may seem like it is simplistic; however, the high quality of the book is that it gives the readers several activities to practice the skills in the book. Things that ...

Dark mission
One very impressive and dense book, that makes you think. I am going to look for other Hoagland works. Future will say if he is right or wrong.

1421: The Year China Discovered America (P.S.)

Gavin Menzies

Harper Perennial, 2008

Finally some answers!
I've been interested in different aspects of history for quite some time but the book, "1421: The Year China Discovered America" is the first to really light up my imagination! Gavin Menzies' writing style is almost conversational making it an easy read but he has included enough references and quotes to thoroughly prove his premise that the Chinese discovered and mapped the world long before ...

Forty Studies that Changed Psychology: Explorations into the History of Psychological Research (6th Edition)

Roger R. Hock

Prentice Hall, 2008

textbooks can be good
I really wasn't looking forward to yet another psychology text, but this one is actually enjoyable. The author has managed to pare down each study to the essentials and doesn't waste a ton of space trying to entertain the reader. I would recommend it for anyone interested in how the mind works, and the information that has made our understanding greater.

The River of Doubt: Theodore Roosevelt's Darkest Journey

Candice Millard

Broadway, 2006

Wonderful book...where have the heros gone?
This is a magnificently written book about a true American hero. This is not a book about a photo op failed man. The book focuses on the important issues of preparation for an endeavor; but, the focus is through the eyes of people with "true grit." It is a must read in this current era of failed preparation. It is beyond belief that the Washington Post would write "...imagine it: George W. ...

Henry Holt and Co., 2008

A fun way to learn America's "true" origin
The "truth" about America's origins is uncovered in interesting storytelling fashion. At times it reads like page turner. It might broaden a reader's viewpoint but it will make "little difference", because "...Myths didn't just trump fact; they helped create it." If you have played (or know about) rounders and tried to explain it's connection to baseball to almost any baseball fan you know the ...

Stephen Ambrose

Simon & Schuster, 1997

Undaunted Courage
I will keep it simple. Next to the Holy Bible ~ best book I ever read. I have since then read several of Stephen Ambrose's books and highly recommend them. He and his family put many years of research in before writing any book. I have travelled across the country all the way to Cape Disapportment as a result of reading the book and following the trail. Everything Mr. Ambrose claimed in the ...

A sad story
This book left me feeling very sad, and my heart aches for his family. Many young people do foolish things like Alex did. Some survive (like the author), and some don't. I enjoyed the insight the author provided through his research. I thought he did a good job collecting information from people who had crossed paths with Alex. I still don't understand what compelled him to such an extreme ...

A Trip Down Memory Lane
My son has been raving about Bill Bryson's for some time now, but I was not sure that they would appeal to me. After hearing others rave about his memoir: The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid, I thought this might be a fun audio book. I am sorry I waited so long to try Bryson's work. This memoir was terrific. It leaves you with a feeling of appreciation for the simple things in life. Bill ...

Cisco Press, 2007

Well written
I obviously bought this book for the CCNA class that I am taking. As textbooks go, this book is very well written and makes the understanding easier as you go through the class (as opposed to trying to do my reading online through the cisco academy). Highly recommend buying the book if you are taking the class.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

HarperOne, 1978

The Reality of Christian Fellowship
This is a great little book, a classic that all Christians should read. At roughly 128 pages, this is a short treatise on Christian community that is very accessible. In the first chapter of this book Bonhoeffer presents his understanding of the reality of Christian community. Bonhoeffer's basic claim is that Christian community is a reality, both in the mundane realm and in the spiritual ...

The rest of the story...
In his book "1434: The Year a Magnificent chinese Fleet Sailed to Italy and Ignited the Renaissance", Gavin Menzies explains how Europe rose out of the dark ages into enlightenment in such a short amount of time. They had help from the Chinese! While it had been long assumed the knowledge of ancient Greece served as the basis for the Renaissance, 1434 provides another perspective. Europe's ...

Bantam, 2008

Diseases of the heart
In a letter quoted by Buddy Levy in his magnificent Conquistador, Hernan Cortes confesses that he and his men suffer from a particular "disease of the heart": a lust for gold and power. The tale of the unhappy outcome of that disease, the destruction of one of the New World's mightiest empires in an astoundingly short time by an astoundingly small handful of adventurers, is the most apparent ...

Great introduction to petroleum geology
I am a graduate geologist and I found this book ideal in my circumstances as an introduction before I got some petroleum work experience.It is very well written ,even a layperson could get a good appreciation for the wide encompassing subject matter.It is not aimed at specialists or those with a lot of experience in the petroleum geoscience.However, it is one of the best text books I have read.

Harper Paperbacks, 2008

a clear voice
As a high school English teacher with two small children, I rarely get a chance to read a book for pleasure--let alone finish one. Amazingly, I read both of Foster's guides this summer. Each was a palatable presentation of issues surrounding literature in general and the novel in particular. He has a clear "voice" allowing me to imagine being back at a university lecture again--one of my favorite ...

To emphasize anthropology's integrated and comparative nature, "Bringing It All Together" essays show how anthropology's sub-fields and dimensions combine to interpret and explain a common topic. Another distinctive feature, "Understanding Ourselves," illustrates the relevance of ...

Wonderful Workbook
This was a textbook assigned for an online psychology course. This was one of the best "self-help" books I have ever read. This book is easy to read, plus each chapter has a section for activities pertaining to the topics covered. I learned a lot about myself from this book. I recommend doing the activities and answering the questions from each chapter to get the most out of this book. Authors ...
