Veronique Vienne

Clarkson Potter, 1999

Absolutely Gorgeous!
I loved this book, like the other Veronique Vienne books! In a time and culture that makes you feel like you have to be everything to everyone, and look good in the process, this makes you want to be yourself and remember that people don't like perfect people anyway!! They like people who are like themselves!! Don't you love hearing from other people, "oh my gosh!! i do that too!! i thought i was ...

Iris Krasnow

Miramax Books, 2001

I read it over and over.
First let me say, "THIS BOOK IS NOT FOR THOSE IN ABUSIVE MARRIAGES!" I wouldn't even recommend it for someone in a marriage with a physically or mentally ill spouse. It's for the painfully "normal" marriage. Many people go into marriage with certain expectations that don't get met. Some people may grow as a person and feel stuck with a partner that they have nothing in common with. This book ...

Rob works a lot with Western Buddhists who have trouble integrating & healing their emotional wounds while simultaneously aspiring to Buddhist spiritual practice and the resulting inner conflict this can bring. He shows that we can ...

This book is a survey of important writers and themes in Christian spirituality, from the early church through the 14th century, plus Jean-Pierre de Caussade (18th century) and Therese of Lisieux (19th century), and skipping some prominent figures who have gotten plenty of attention elsewhere, like Teresa of Avila and John of the Cross.

1 review
Oliver O'Donovan, Joan Lockwood O'Donovan

Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 2003

Politics under the Shadow cast by the Cross
Ethicists Oliver O'Donovan (OO) and Joan Lockwood O'Donovan (JO) have given us the result of a lifetime of mature, balanced ethical reflection with regard to political action. As a result, the book is a combination of Scriptural, historical, and ethical interplay. The book's strength is its depth--and this is sorely needed for many conservative, American readers who are tempted to reduce ...

Macroeconomics: Imperfections, Institutions and Policies

Wendy Carlin, David Soskice

Oxford University Press, USA, 2006

Simply the best
I own some of the best intermmediate macro texts: Blanchard's, Burda-Wyplosz's, Dornbusch-Fischer's, Sach-Larrain's, Williamson's, etc...and this is by far the best among them. As the other reviewer stated, one of its strength lies in its clarity but also in its versatility: it allows different types of readers to enjoy the working out. Although you should be someone who knows some maths and ...

RF Imperfections in High-rate Wireless Systems: Impact and Digital Compensation
Tim Schenk

Springer, 2008

Wireless communication systems are persistently applying wider bandwidths, larger signal dynamics and higher carrier frequencies to fulfil the demand for higher data rates. This results in an ever increasing demand on the performance of low-cost and power-efficient radio frequency (RF) front-ends. Since the RF technology is, consequently, pushed to its operation boundaries, the intrinsic imperfections of the RF IC technology are more and more ...
