Escape from Reason: A Penetrating Analysis of Trends in Modern Thoughts (Ivp Classics) 23 reviews
Francis A. Schaeffer
IVP Books, 2007
escape from reason
this book is short and brief (100 pages or so), that is its intended appeal. it is not and does not claim to be a comprehensive analysis of all theological and philosophical thought-- just a very thoughtful and broad view of the impact of thought, art, industry, etcetera and its culmination on the state of our current society. to this end the book is fullfilling.

South Park and Philosophy: Bigger, Longer, and More Penetrating (Popular Culture and Philosophy) 10 reviews
Open Court, 2007
Highly unreadable
Most of the essays in this book are written by the editor Richard Hanley, with a few miscellaneous essays contributed by other professors of philosophy and some PhD candidates.
I found Hanley's contributions hardly readable. He uses his articles less to discuss philosophic themes unintentionally explored by the show and more to espouse his philosophic and political beliefs. As someone who is ...

I met my wife reading this book!
There she was, sitting just beyond the creamer
counter at Starbucks and she was reading the exact same page!?!
It was kismet. We clicked immediately.
I'm a porn history buff, but I had never known
some of these amazing facts and true stories!
Natalie loves the pictures and the do-it-yourself section.
The book is written with a great deal of humor, having
some fun with what is - too ...

Handbook of Cell-Penetrating Peptides, Second Edition
CRC, 2006
Since the first Handbook of Cell-Penetrating Peptides was prepared in 2001, the wealth of new information on the use of these peptides as transport systems has in fact served to confound the field. The constant internal change in the field of cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) is due to recent research uncovering apparent ambiguities in cellular uptake. There is still neither a common terminology nor a uniform explanation for the penetrative ...

The Game
Thanks Style, not only have you given hope to shlubs like me, but you have demonstrated that self-improvement, while done to get women, is still a good thing. Over the last 3 years you have done little more than learn how to become an interesting person. I only wish that some of the bores in my life would take the time to learn how to be a little more interesting. Of course, living in Washington ...

I bought this book to familiarize myself with how GPR works in advance of performing an archaeological study of two historic cemeteries in Middle Georgia. It was a great introduction to the subject, and is written for the educated reader in largely laymen's terms. There is a wonderful illustration of how GPR works in one of the early chapters. I recommend this book to anyone using remote ...

The Complete Memoirs of Casanova
Clue, 2007
Jacques Casanova de Seingault was a Venetian adventurer and author. His autobiography, "Histoire de ma vie" (Story of My Life), is regarded as one of the most authentic sources of the customs and norms of European social life during the 18th century. So famous a womanizer was the Italian-born Casanova that, a full two centuries after his death, his name remains synonymous with the art of seduction.
