Birch Lane Press, 1998

stories of women who loved science
Why so few? This is the question which the author put on the first page of the book. More than 300 scientists have won the Nobel Prize since its establishment,however, only 10 of them are women. Why? Why have so few women won the Nobel Prize in science? Some people might say this small number could be evidence for old prejudices. But the author tried to find a different answer through this book. ...

Jim Reed

Birch Lane Press, 1999

A Good Read for I-Fans!
OK so it's not a pulitzer prize winner, but so what? Mr. Reed's book is written for the true Imus fan without the fancy words and long-winded accounts that make some books boring. If you like the Don Imus show, this book is a must. It takes you behind the scenes, introduces the cast of characters, as well as revisits Don's past. It's well researched and an enjoyable read.

Gil Stein

Birch Lane Press, 1997

An absorbing account of a dangerous sport and its owners.
Gil Stein has written an absorbing account of a dangerous sport, not of its playing action, but of the violent skirmishes of its owners as they meet behind the closed doors of the NHL's Board of Governors executive sessions. They make the game on ice look like Sunday afternoon croquet on the lawn of the Baptist Church. This is a wonderful behind-the-scenes book; but it is not all ...

Norman Lebrecht

Birch Lane Press, 1997

THE BEST BOOK TO DATE ON THE BUSINESS OF CLASSICAL MUSIC
If you've watched the two-decade evolution in pop music industry exposé books-going from general veiled accusations and using pseudonyms, to the hard- hitting journalistic romps that are being written today, naming names, dates, companies, and places-then you'll appreciate the HIT MEN of the classical world, Norman Lebrecht's WHO KILLED CLASSICAL MUSIC, which, while it may not name vulnerable ...

Jerry Seinfeld, the Entire Domain: The Entire Domain

Kathleen Tracy

Birch Lane Press, 1998

The book that finally explains it!
Books about the show Seinfeld and Jerry Seinfeld have become something of a major industry in the United States since the show leap-frogged from it's cult status into a bigtime ratings hit. A lot of these books recounted episodes, offered bios of the actors and had lots of information about Seinfeld's private life. What was MISSING? A book that had a lot of this information but also put it into a ...

4 reviews

Birch Lane Press, 1997

Author - I'm looking for your comments.
I'm very proud of this book. We have discovered that it touches all of our lives. It is not just a sports book, but rather sports is the metaphor for living. Winners have the mind set to win, even when everything seems to be going wrong, they still figure out a way to win. It is fascinating how their minds work. I think you'll really enjoy What Makes Winners Win. ---Charlie Jones, author

The Mother of the Bride Book, by Sharon Naylor
I highly recommend this book to any hostess or mother of the bride. I am going up to West Point Military Academy this weekend to finalize preparations for my daughter's party. Details I never would have thought to ask, but certainly appear to be most important, were brought to my attention. There are also areas to document deposits and conversations with various vendors who will be hired for ...

Richard Foster

Birch Lane Press, 1997

Bettie Page Uncovered
A very sad tale of a woman broken by her fame and tortured by her problems. Wonderful pictures of Bettie in her prime and overall a very good book. I will agree that it is written in a tabloid style -it's not war and peace but it is a good read about an american icon.

Birch Lane Press, 1997

Outstanding Factual Book
This outstanding book focuses on the discovery and identification of the Romanov bones and the subsequent DNA testing. The book's strength lies in describing how the bones were found and not in the subjective non-scientific arguments as to whether Anna Anderson was Anastasia or Franziska Schanzkowska. This book is not clouded by the personal opinions of the authors. You won't find any ...

God-Optional Judaism: Alternatives for Cultural Jews Who Love Their History, Heritage, and Community

4 reviews
Judith Seid

Birch Lane Press, 2000

Like I said before -- Jewshness is BOTH culture and religion
I'm giving this book five stars, NOT because I agree with its theology (I most certainly do NOT - I myself am a religious Jew) but because it is well-written and thought provoking in its own genre. Judith Seid is a "cultural Jew," that is, a Jew who relates to the history, music, art, customs and traditions of Judaism in a secular way, but who does not believe in God or "the religion." Her book ...
