Origin5 reviews, 2009

Great story! Unique and thought provoking concept.
Loved it! The concept of this book is very interesting and original. I really, really enjoyed the premise, the characters (especially Bub), and the gore. :) It's not as gory as Jack Kilborn's Afraid (JA Konrath's pen name) but it's definitely a bit horrific at times. It's fast paced and thought provoking and I read it in a day. It's also a little bit of a genre crosser with elements of ...

On the Origin of Species By Means of Natural Selection, or, the Preservation of Favoured Races in the ...1 review

Public Domain Books, 1998

A must-have for any Kindle reader
Can't help but notice that the Bible is one of the top downloads in the Kindle Store. Actually, I'm a bit perplexed that Darwin's "Origin of the Species", which IMHO, is the Bible's touchstone naturalist complement, is not garnering as much attention and that this is the first review. As we celebrate Darwin's 200th birthday and the 150th anniversary of the publication of this book, I'm ...

No god but God: The Origins, Evolution, and Future of Islam109 reviews
Reza Aslan

Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2006

An accessable, balanced, insightful look
This diligently researched and superbly written book acts as an easy to digest key, actively bent on unlocking the history of Islam. Aslan, an Iranian-born author, brings a viewpoint often missing from Western understandings of the Islamic religion. Aslan tackles often thorny and complex historical occurrences and theological viewpoints, translating them into an understandable and synthesized ... 		  
  







  
  
Origins of the Specious: Myths and Misconceptions of the English Language7 reviews
Patricia T. O'Conner, Stewart Kellerman

Random House, 2009

Terrific on all counts
Another great offering from my favorite grammar maven, once again teaming up with her husband Stewart. The writing, as one expects from this duo, proceeds apace with wit and insight, dispelling a myth here and granting permission there. I was so relieved to know that I can split my infinitives at will and end my sentences with a preposition - and that I am in superbly historic linguistic company ... 		  
  







  
  
1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus222 reviews
Charles C. Mann

Vintage, 2006

A great read.
I love to read about history but so many history books read like they were written by some curmudgeonly old scholarly who has no idea how to make anything interesting. This book is great. It has enough detail to please the most scholarly of readers, while at the same time its an enjoyable and easy read for the average Joe. I only wish more historians would learn to write books that read like a ... 		  
  







  
  
On the Origin of Stories: Evolution, Cognition, and Fiction1 review
Brian Boyd

Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 2009

A major step forward
This is a very important book--important in its own right, but also important as a marker for significant change in the academic study of the humanities. For a generation or more, the humanities have resisted the developments which have occurred in the departments that surround them. Sociobiology, evolutionary psychology, cognitive science--a panoply of subjects that build upon the advanced ... 		  
  







  
  
The Food Revolution: How Your Diet Can Help Save Your Life and Our World114 reviews
John Robbins

Conari Pr, 2001

The truth about nutrition
John Robbins is sincere to the core. His book is very readable, though filled with fact after fact about nutrition, factory farming, and saving our planet. His style is homey and very believable. The story about the pig farmer is riveting. I highly reccommend it to anyone who cares about what he eats and who cares about our planetary home. I have already given it as a gift twice. 		  
  







  
  
The Origin Of Species: 150th Anniversary Edition26 reviews
Charles Darwin

Signet Classics, 2003

You know what's an interesting fiction?
You know what's an even more interesting fiction? The Bible. I look at reviews to know about the quality of the product, not the ignorance of people. Please don't come here and give a bad review to this well-crafted presentation of a great book because you're so insecure, you call evolution a fictionalized story. I find it hilarious that people who point out the "lack of evidence" for evolution ...

Introduction to Tantra : The Transformation of Desire18 reviews
Lama Yeshe, Jonathan Landaw, ...

Wisdom Publications, 2001

Great Tantra Introduction book
I recently started to learn Tantra and my teacher recommended me to buy this book and start reading and learning from it. I'm about 1/2 way thru the book and it is well written and has a great wisdom in it. I would recommend this book to get inner look on what is Tantra about!

Charles Darwin, Edward O. Wilson

W.W. Norton & Co., 2005

greaat
This book is wonderful, although it's only one tome it's beautifully binded and it just looks amazing. I'm happy to have it. i would have been great if it was 4 separate books (easier to read) but it's good like this too. 		  
  







  
  
A Conflict of Visions: Ideological Origins of Political Struggles60 reviews
Thomas Sowell

Basic Books, 2007

Opened My Eyes
I had just finished reading Michael Dyson's "Is Bill Cosby Right?". Then I read this book of Sowell's. African Americans, including myself, have rejected Sowell out of hand because he does not line up with the orthodoxy of Dyson or the typical civil rights perspective. This is because I did not realize how thoroughly Sowell understands the issues and the philosophies behind it and the opposite ... 		  
  







  
  
On the Origin of Species: The Illustrated Edition10 reviews
Charles Darwin

Sterling, 2008

A book that celebrates the hundred and fiftieth anniversary of Darwin's great work!!!
XXXXX "When on board the H.M.S. `Beagle,' as naturalist, I was struck with certain facts in the distribution of the inhabitants [or plants and animals] of South America, and the geologic relations of the present to past inhabitants of that continent. These facts seemed to me to throw some light on the origin of species--that mystery of mysteries, as it has been called by one of our greatest ... 		  
  







  
  
The Origin of Financial Crises: Central Banks, Credit Bubbles, and the Efficient Market Fallacy (Vintage)24 reviews
George Cooper

Vintage, 2008

A different perspective
Perhaps I don't agree with everything the author says in the book, but it is written well, easy to understand, and offers a different perspective from what we often hear on TV or read in the newspapers. At a minimum, it makes one think about various issues that affect all of our lives, and for that I give it 5 stars.

Mothers and Others: The Evolutionary Origins of Mutual Understanding (Belknap Press)3 reviews
Sarah Blaffer Hrdy

Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 2009

Why us and not them?
This book should be read by anyone with an interest in human evolution but especially by those with an interest in human uniqueness. Dr. Hrdy writes beautifully, is vigorous in her attention to empirical evidence, but she is also willing to speculate about the conditions that fostered uniquely human traits. Among the most obvious of these traits are our extended lifespans, prolonged childhoods, ... 		  
  







  
  
The Annotated Origin: A Facsimile of the First Edition of On the Origin of Species2 reviews
Charles Darwin

Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 2009

The "Origin" with Modern and Historical Insights
It's both wonderful and too bad that there are now two such excellent versions of "On the Origin of Species" competing for non-specialist readers: this one and the lavishly-illustrated version edited by David Quammen (which see). Professor Costa is a biologist himself and an insightful student of Darwin. This very useful book presents a facsimile of the first edition of Darwin's classic volume ...
