The Post-American World 37 reviews
Fareed Zakaria
W. W. Norton, 2008
All Americans Should Read This Book
The hegemon that is America is at a crossroads. This is the central and compelling idea behind Fareed Zakaria's most recent book entitled The Post-American World. In his wide-ranging and optimistic look at the future of the United States, Zakaria makes the case that hegemonic America is no longer the youthful and ambitious democracy it was a hundred years ago. On the dawn of the 21st century, the ...

The World is Flat - Thomas Friedman
"What else but sensationalism could you expect from an American Journalist" My friend commented when I told him I was on a most sensational book by New York Times' Thomas Friedman. I thank my friend and my kids favorite 4th Grade teacher Michael Citrino to have recommended "The World is Flat" which has introduced me to a rapidly flattening world, of which I ...

Final Theory: A Novel 9 reviews
Mark Alpert
Touchstone, 2008
action-packed thriller
Rumors fly that Albert Einstein formulated the unified field theory, but feared its release would lead to even more lethal weapons than the atom bomb; if true he took it to his grave. However some people think otherwise and he did discover the unified field theory and that a few still living know it.
Thus diverse players from the Feds to other countries to unscrupulous scientists and even a ...

Kenneth C. Davis
Collins, 2008
America's Hidden History
As person who needs to know history in order to fully understand this crazy world, I found Mr. Davis' book a great read! I was taken back to those times in way that I can understand why things turned out the way it did! He is one of the few historians that were able to show how people without money and position in the 18th century felt while the country was forming.
He is the first ...

a lovely little gem to read!!
I began reading this book early last night and in less than a twenty-four hour span, I am done. I was completely absorbed by the tale of Mamah and loved the harmony with which this woman was depicted, while showing all the adversity she had to go through. Not knowing anything about Nancy Horan, I had no presupposition about this book and fully enjoyed it! For those who haven't read, are on the ...

Summer Bridge Activities: Kindergarten to 1st Grade10 reviews

Keeps their minds active during summer break
I have three daughters - ages 9, 6 & 3. My 9 year old will be entering 4th grade this year and the 6 year old will be entering 1st. My 9 year old struggled at the start of 2nd grade. It took her almost a whole month to get back into the swing of things. So, last summer I bought a Summer Bridge Activities book for her. She sailed right into 3rd grade. Her teacher agreed that it made a ...

The Time Traveler's Wife1619 reviews

Harvest Books, 2004
A beautiful love story
TTW brings beauty and meaning to philosophical questions. So many metaphors about life, love and everything in between are intertwined in the pages.
Though it may have some technical and mechanical faults, thematically, it's flawless. It brought me to tears and to laughter and back again. Mot importantly, it reminded me to embrace all who love me, especially my own true love.

Highly Recommended
I've bought books in these series for 2 summers in a row now. They are a great way to keep key educational elements alive for your child until they go back to school, without overwhelming them with work during summer vacation. Each day has an assigned lesson and they take 10 - 15 minutes top to complete. There is a reward system so that you can set up a treat or prize if they complete a ...

First, Break All the Rules: What the World's Greatest Managers Do Differently254 reviews
Marcus Buckingham, Curt Coffman
Simon & Schuster, 1999
Who you work for is more important than which company you work for
I'd recommend First, Break All the Rules: What the World's Greatest Managers Do Differently to all new managers - well, to all managers for that matter. The first point the book makes is that who you work for is more important than the company you work for, your job description or even your paycheck. I agree, 100%. "We have said that an employee may join a company because of its prestige and ...

an amazing novel
I found this to be such a good read. The characterization was magnificent! The tale was so intrigueing, and I stayed up into the night-I had to find out what happened next.
I loved the description, also. It was so good-I could place myself in the story. The author described everything thoroughly-to an exactness of storytelling. There was not any vagueness-all was crystal clear.
I would ...
