A Family Favorite
My entire family loves this book. I don't think you have to be a golfer to enjoy it but it sure can't hurt. I have given this book to many a golfer friend and everyone likes it. Very funny. Lots of smiles and laughs throughout! I'd give it 6 stars if I could.

The Science of God: The Convergence of Scientific and Biblical Wisdom 109 reviews
Gerald L. Schroeder
Broadway Books, 1998
One of my Favorites
I would have to place this work on my top-five list for thought provoking books. The author does an excellent job weaving modern scientific thought with ancient biblical commentary. It is done in such a way that the reader finds the connection between the two topics to be much stronger than would be shown by other contemporary views on the topic.
As with other books like this, I would ...

Only Two Meaningful Mistakes
I am the author of Striking It Rich: Golf in the Kingdom with Generals, Patients and Pros
If this book was the 5-star standard, there wouldn't be too many other 5-star books. In other words, its in a class by itself. Production quality, instruction, information, etc is as good as it gets. A tremendous value for your golfing expenditures. Pelz has contributed significantly to our game with the ...

The Highly Sensitive Person120 reviews
Elaine N. Aron Ph.D.
Broadway Books, 1997
Finally Knowing I Belong
I found comfort in every word of this book. Reading it validated that I am not only "not crazy", but that I have something wonderful to offer this de-sensitized world of ours. It's taken me many years, but I am finally realizing that being "different" can and usually is a genuinely good thing! All those years of hearing people describe me as "overly sensitive" as if it were some major ...

A Short History of Nearly Everything 1 review
Bill Bryson
Broadway Books, 2003
Not quite everything, but enough...
I was first acquainted with Bill Bryson through his works on the English language and various travelogue types of books. In these books he proved to be an entertaining writer, witty and interesting, with just the right amount of I'm-not-taking-myself-too-seriously attitude to make for genuinely pleasurable reading. Other books of his, 'Notes from a Small Island' and 'The Mother Tongue', are ones ...

The Sociopath Next Door6 reviews
Ph.D. Martha Stout
Broadway Books, 2005
Read this book!
We are accustomed to think of sociopaths as violent criminals like Hannibal Lechter or Ted Bundy.
Martha Stout in this book reveals how a shocking 4 percent of the population have the same chief symptom, namely a complete lack of conscience. The difference is that the majority with this mental disposition operate within the laws and only rarely get caught.
The book is easy to read without ...

The End Of Science: Facing The Limits Of Knowledge In The Twilight Of The Scientific Age 64 reviews
John Horgan
Broadway Books, 1997
John Horgan is the Judas of Science: the enemy of fact
He pretty much knew that he was writing tripe.
John Horgan mistakes his popularity and scientific political power for knowledge and wisdom.
I suppose that ethics is dead as well, so that he is allowed to be this evil.
By talking with all these great men he had a chance for real knowledge
and instead he made verbal cartoons and ridiculed all their ideas.
He would definitely be the lawyer for ...

The middle class is not taking control of its money and instead the middle is rapidly transferring money from its savings into the massive market profits for the super rich.

The Cafe Cook Book: Italian Recipes from London's River Cafe8 reviews
Ruth Rogers
Broadway Books, 1998
Recommended Simple Recipes for Good Cooks
`The Café Cook Book' authors Rose Gray and Ruth Rogers are two English chefs who seem to carry a lot of weight in the community of writers on Italian Cuisine. They are one of the first employers of Jamie Oliver and were, I suspect, a strong influence on his style and choice of cuisine. In fact, Oliver is credited as a River Café chef in the Acknowledgments. Gray and Roger owe nothing to Oliver's ...

Amazing Book. Wish I had read it when I was 25!!!
I love this book and, even at 74 years old, am still able to learn and implement changes in my financial future. I purchased copies for all of my middle aged children. I hope that they learn from it and take it to heart. If you desire security in your retirement or if you are lucky enough to read this early and retire ten years sooner, then you will find this book exciting and inspirational. ...

It is not a story but more of a biography of the struggles and joys of restoring the farmhouse in Tuscany.

The Yan Can Cook Book4 reviews
Martin Yan
Broadway Books, 1982
Extremely useful
Practically every recipe I've tried from this book has been delicious. I especially like the supplementary information on how to make tofu and growing bean sprouts, which I've not seen covered in other Asian cookbooks. My only criticism is that there is no alphabetical index; it makes it a little hard to look up specific recipes.
