the only book you need on the subject
A book like this is long overdue. It's both authoritative and readable--a rare combination. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in investment grade wine, whether casually or professionally.

Best of the best
I wish I saw this novel on more Top 10 lists, but oh well. Nevertheless, I demand that you buy this book right now, and with the hefty discount Amazon is providing, you can't afford to pass this up! With a cover price of 30 beans, I can understand why some would balk initially at purchasing this, but now you have no excuse! Thirty percent off is the deal of the century for this book, and I ...
The Physics of Solar Cells (Properties of Semiconductor Materials)
3 reviews
Jenny Nelson
Imperial College Press
, 2003
very good book.
I feel this is a very good book for advanced undergraduates and graduate students interested in the physics of solar cells. It is not a beginner book, as some background is expected. Solid state physics is difficult and complicated. There are a lot of different things going on at the same time, and I feel it's good to get explanations from several different authors viewpoints. I have ...
Statics and Strength of Materials

Useful tool
This book gets its point across. It is a textbook and that is what it is supposed to do. It gives you everything you need to be successful in the class you are taking, though I only used the second half about the strengths of different materials. The first half, which is statics, could be really difficult to understand using this book, though it is a hard subject to understand period.

Outstanding gay erotic fiction
Recently I have experienced something of a resurgence of interest in gay erotic fiction, and "No Going Home" is among the best of the genre. Les and Randy are both healing from emotional and physical injuries when they happen upon each other, and their chemistry and need for each other are both immediate and palpable. Like any courtship, theirs is filled with uncertainty and some fear ...

curiositea
This may sound funny to those who are not "into" tea, but I simply couldn't put this book down until I had devoured it cover to cover. Being a tea dealer, I have read many books about tea, heard many stories in the last 10 years and have gleaned lots of info. But since reading this book, my tea classes have gotten even more interesting for my students and myself. Get it, you'll like it. ...

Good resource book, but not complete enough for new soap makers
I am pleased I purchased this book of Catherine Failor's. It does an decent job of explaining the liquid soap making process. There is a lot of valuable information. However, for someone making liquid soap for the first time, it is my opinion there is a lot of incomplete and/or unclear information. If you want to make liquid soap, this is a must for your technical library, but it is not the only ...

Wonderful teaching tool!
My son received this when he was almost 4, and understood the concepts of solid, liquid, and gases by 4.5yo! This describes the concepts in such a way that youngsters can easily understand, but won't bore older children. I would highly recommend this book, along with other books in the "Let's-Read-And-Find-Out Science" series.
Neutral Buoyancy: Adventures in a Liquid World

Grove Press
, 2002
Great book
The first time I read this book I was in the process of completing my Divemaster certification and also reading PADI's Encyclopedia of Recreational Diving. Neutral Buoyancy covers about 75% of the same information as found in the ERD text; but does so written in a travel memoir style from the authors personal experience, allowing for a much more approachable format for the general reader. The ...

olive oil explained
This book has lots of great tips on what can be done with olive oil. Up 'til now, I've only used it in cooking and for splashing on salads. Very interested to start using it for other things, such as helping my dry hair and softening hands. But of course will also be keeping this book in the kitchen so I can have all the recipes handy! I had not known before that olive oil would be good for ...

Old book, but the physics is the same
The Ashcroft text is superior to other Solid State texts because of its readbility. It is not over-written like some texts, and its presentation of fundamentals is appropriate for a graduate course in solid state physics. It is not fair to under-rate the book simply because it is "old". Despite having several decades to write a better book, few authors have. There are advanced chapters toward ...

Making sense
I found Bauman's book titled Globalization: The Human Consequences such an articulate description of the the way that globalisation has ravaged poor communities that I could not resist getting Liquid Modernity. I am certainly not dissappointed. In this new book Bauman addresses the shifts in some of the large social concepts which effect human identity and our relationships with one another: ...

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1EXLSTKMWCNOW Liquid City is a compilation of short comic stories from artists in Southeast Asia. If you've read the Flight series by Kazu Kibuishi, this anthology is somewhat similar except in style and storytelling. Sonny Liew is the editor for the book, and has his contribution inside. There are some really weird stories in the book. A few ...

Robbing the Bees: A Biography of Honey
This is one of the best books I have read. Makes me want to get a bee hive for my back yard. Very interesting facts about bees and honey. Every high school/middle school science class should read this book. I liked it so much I bought it for friends.

Practical advice for a world of scarce resources.
The is a smart, thoughtful book on an important subject. Despite the cartoon cover, the author approaches the use and disposal of urine in a practical and user friendly way. She presents convincing scientific information supporting the healthful use of urine for growing plants. Also, she gives good information on composting toilets. This is a timely subject for two reasons: first, the ...
