Physics of the Impossible: A Scientific Exploration into the World of Phasers, Force Fields, Teleportation, ...34 reviews
Michio Kaku

Doubleday, 2008

Impossible is relative
As he did in "Visions," "Hyperspace," and "Beyond Einstein," Professor Michio Kaku has again penned a gem. Eminently readable, and as always packed full of related facts, this logically guided but wide-eyed romp across the terrain of the impossible, near-impossible and the far-fetched impossible, contains a veritable boutique of novel and leading-edge ideas. But that is not all. He also ... 		  
  







  
  
Amazing Impossible Erie Canal (Aladdin Picture Books)2 reviews

Aladdin, 1999

Brings history alive with a mix of pictures & text
This is an excellent expansion of the "picture book" format for more mature readers; the colorful pictures show action scenes while text elaborates historical details. Additional embedded illustration shows map details of regional sections as the story unfolds. Fascinating information helps us understand why this feat was so important to the country's development at that time.

A Passion for the Impossible5 reviews
Miriam Huffman Rockness

Discovery House Publishers, 2003

Christian artists and creative types will love this book
I am a voracious reader of non-fiction (particularly Christian non-fiction), but out of thousands of books I have read, this biography captivated me like no other. Perhaps because I am a writer and artist, I could identify with Lilias and her passions. Ultimately, however, this is a story of adventure, sacrifice, surrender and uncompromising dedication to Jesus Christ, all set against the ...

Homeopathy is a valuable resource
As a long time student of Homeopathy, I heartily endorse this book and all the excellent reviews of it. Rather than repeat what has already been said so eloquently, I will simply add that Homeopathy is an incredible asset to our well-being. Practitioners spend many years studying their art and are always updating their training and learning more about what Homeopathy can do, and how to best ...

Nothing's Impossible: Leadership Lessons From Inside And Outside The Classroom10 reviews
Lorraine Monroe

PublicAffairs, 1999

The Monroe Doctrine for success !
I found about Dr. Lorraine Monroe on 60 minutes. She took one of the worst public schools in Harlem, New York and turned it around to the point that it is one of the top three public schools in New York and 96% of it's students are accepted into college. I believe that her insights and strategies can be used to improve any workplace or organization. Remember, she isn't some theorist - she ...

John Stillwell

AK Peters, Ltd., 2006

Many of the mathematical ideas once considered impossible
There are many great ideas in mathematics and what makes them unique is that many of them were considered impossible for a long period of time. In this book, Stillwell presents many of those ideas using an expository style that is both understandable and complete. The chapters are: *) The Irrational - where the discovery of irrational numbers and how it shocked the Pythagoreans is explained. ...

In Nonplussed! , popular-math writer Julian Havil delighted readers with a mind-boggling array of implausible yet true mathematical paradoxes. Now Havil is back with Impossible? , another marvelous medley of the utterly confusing, profound, and unbelievable--and all of it mathematically irrefutable. Whenever Forty-second Street in New York is temporarily closed, traffic doesn't gridlock but flows more smoothly--why is that? Or consider that ... 		  
  







  
  
The Power of Impossible Thinking: Transform the Business of Your Life and the Life of Your Business (Wharton ...1 review
Yoram (Jerry) Wind, Colin Cook

Wharton School Publishing, 2006

How Others' Own Perceptions Pre-Determined Their Success
An effective synthesis of the Steven Covey's self-help euphemisms (The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People) and Malcolm Gladwell's real-world illustrations of psychological insights (The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference), this is a smartly written, often fascinating book that delves into the power and limits of mental models in order to transform one's world. It is not ... 		  
  







  
  
Impossible Subjects: Illegal Aliens and the Making of Modern America (Politics and Society in Twentieth ...4 reviews
Mae M. Ngai

Princeton University Press, 2005

Reframing immigration history
Mae Ngai's ambitious book compels historians and general readers alike to critically reassess traditional understandings of and approaches to U.S. immigration. Much of the histories on U.S. immigration and immigration policies have told a similar tale. The United States, the narrative goes, has been tainted by a long history of exclusion, a blight on the nation's democratic tradition that was ... 		  
  







  
  
Anansi Does the Impossible: An Ashanti Tale (Aladdin Picture Books)4 reviews
Verna Aardema

Turtleback Books Distributed by Demco Media, 2002

Anansi Does the Impossible
This book was such a delight. My first grade class could not wait to hear what Anansi would do next. For the first time, Anansi uses his trickery to help someone other than himself! It was refreshing to have the author show how Anani's wife, Aso, helped him to reach his goal. I think my readers learned a lot of valuable lessons from this story. 		  
  







  
  
Six Impossible Things Before Breakfast: The Evolutionary Origins of Belief21 reviews
Lewis Wolpert

W. W. Norton, 2008

The Great Ape that asked "Why?"
I read this book as the last of a group of books comprising the recent works of Daniel Dennett (whew!)(Breaking the Spell), Richard Dawkins (The God Delusion), Christopher Hitchens (God is not Great), and both of the works by Sam Harris (The End of Faith and Letter to a Christian Nation). For many reasons and particularly because of Wolpert's straightforward theme, I regret I ended rather than ... 		  
  







  
  
Mr. Impossible (Mr. Men and Little Miss)1 review
Roger Hargreaves

Price Stern Sloan, 1998

A Page Turner
Back in college I got a job as a summer janitor at the local elementary school. One of the things I had to do was clean up in the library. I took this time as an opportunity to catch up on some reading... in the form of the Mr. Men series. Mr. Impossible is the story of a man who can do it all. Assuming you define all as things that you can't do. He will delight and entertain with his antics! 		  
  







  
  
Mr. Impossible43 reviews
Loretta Chase

Berkley, 2005

Loretta Chase re-invents the historical romance
This is a delicious story in which opposites attract. Rupert Carrington is the non-conformist son of an earl whose habit of plunging headlong into life without regard to his or anyone else's safety is combined with a habit of playing dumb, a habit which conveniently prevents him from having to justify himself or meet other peoples' expectations. It seems to amuse him to create discomfiture in ...

I review many, many books each year and each year I find two or three that are so powerful that I find myself taking notes. "Journey to the Impossible" is one of these books. Read it, reread it, highlight it, take notes, do whatever you need to do to keep this information at hand while you use it to transform your life. A lot of things are impossible only because we perceive them to be ... 		  
  







  
  
Impossible Vacation5 reviews
Spalding Gray

Vintage, 1993

With that begins the melancholic search of meaning for the main character of the book Brewster North.
