Blue Dolphin Publishing, Inc, 2003
An Amazing Book!

Lost Moon: The Perilous Voyage of Apollo 1348 reviews
Jeffrey Kluger, James Lovell
Houghton Mifflin, 1994
Remarkable narrative account
This book was the basis for the movie Apollo 13. America had become complacent about our space shots by this time, which is something I still do not understand. But that may be because I worked so long at the Kennedy Space Center and always knew and still understand how dangerous each and every launch is. Apollo 13 was to have been the fifth mission to the moon. But two days into the trip, on ...

Standing Next to History : An Agent's Life Inside the Secret Service28 reviews
Joseph Petro, Jeffrey Robinson, 2005
No gossip, no name dropping, just an enthralling memoir
This is another book I read cover to cover in one sitting. I'm sad that it's over. The thoughtfulness and ethics and, well, honor of the writer touched me. Lots of cool insider info without compromising security. No bitchy backstabbing. No gratuitous back-slapping either. A very easy read that I couldn't tear myself away from. A couple months back, the current president was in my city for a ...

Most excellent
A thorough, comprehensive and usable book for people trying to migrate from traditional media into the (sometimes) scary world of new media. Jeffrey Zeldman's unique voice permeates the entire book, holds your hand, and gently guides you through the ups & downs of working with the web. His examples are concise and to the point, his writing style (as always) humorous and friendly, and, most ...

Are you a .NET developer? What? You haven't read this book?
Possess a driving license? That probably means you know the mechanics that makes cars work. Thereby the skill necessary to ferry ourselves to and from places in daily life.
Wait, what has this gotta do with reviewing a technical computing book?
Well, you knew incorrect air pressure worsens tyre grip, accelerates wear & tear, and reduces fuel efficient, right? You knew improper engine tuning ...

Sally M. Pacholok, Jeffrey J. Stuart
Quill Driver Books, 2005
This is a Must Read!
This book contains critical information that could change the lives of many people. Anyone with any sort of unexplained health problems, from Alzheimers to leg pain to autism, must read this. I also wish every doctor would read it and become more aware of the prevalence of B12 deficiency. After reading it at the library, I bought a copy for myself and one for my doctor.

Even Angels Ask: A Journey to Islam in America21 reviews
Jeffrey Lang
Amana Publications, 1997
Humbling...
This is without a doubt a must read book for anyone raised in the West, specifically in America, who is intrigued by Islam as a viable spiritual path. In spite of the stereotypes and media bashing that takes place regarding Islam and Muslims there are many in the West who are converting. Mr. Lang is one of them. The story of his journey is told humbly, cautiously, even reservedly. And this ...

Discovering the World: Thirteen Stories17 reviews
Thomas Jeffrey Vasseur
Mercer University Press, 2001
Jesus Sinned?
I first off have to confess that even though I've had Dr. Vasseur as a professor, I haven't read all the stories in this collection. Perhaps that makes me unqualified to write this review, but I can say with conviction that the picture he paints of Larry Holman in 'The Sins of Jesus' is so Christ-like as to be worthy of being set right beside Jesus' own passion as narrated in the Gospel ...

Do right by your kids...get this book
I have several estate planning books...the "how to" type and they are great. This is the book you need to read before you start filling in the blanks. I wish my parents had read this book. It would have saved my family relationships. This book gives you the basic information you need before drawing up your trust. Protect your beneficiaries and prevent family conflict by reading this book!

This books grabs you from the first page and takes the reader on a globe-trotting adventure into the world of counter-terrorism. The exploits of ex-CIA agent Jordan Sandor will leave you breathless as he races against time to prevent a world-wide terrorist plot.

Highly Recommended
I highly recommend this book for anyone in a job search. The exercises in part 2 "Preparing Your Search" have given me so much more confidence by helping me understand my own accommplishments and value to employers.
It's a little annoying that the book refers to worksheets online that don't appear to actually be available.

Great Cookbook and More
This was one of those cookbooks that I glanced through at the bookstore, liked it, put down and then went on my way yet it never left my mind. I've found when I do that I might as well buy the thing the next time around. So I did and I was not disappointed.
As others have said its part cookbook, part travelouge organized by geography. I found this to be an interesting combination. I bought the ...

Major Conflict: One Gay Man's Life in the Don't-Ask-Don't-Tell Military17 reviews
Jeffrey Maj Usa (Ret) Mcgowan
Broadway, 2005
Eye opening about the effects of "don't ask, don't tell" and very heartfelt
This book is a very heartfelt account of the life of one gay US soldier. It spans roughly two decades: it starts with McGowan's time in the ROTC and goes up to his promotion to Major and his choice to leave the army (with a short epilogue on McGowan's life after the military and his marriage in New Paltz).
I think the book portrays very well the enormous difficulties and the psychological tolls ...
