Understand how people live with it
From far away, people in the United States get their information on the ongoing wars of the Middle East from news sources.

"Greater Trouble" - great fun
You'll love Captain Brian as much as he loves sailing. I get seasick looking at a swimming pool, but this book made me want to find the nearest sailboat and get aboard. Through the Captain, Locks offers an insider's view, both affectionate and cynical, of the fictional St. Judas and its varied inhabitants. Combining superbly crafted language with irresistible action, "Greater Trouble" offers ...

Must read for all americans
A must read book for this excellent new author. Totally an eye opener on how people in other countries live in fear every day of their lives and this war has been going on for years. Myself being naive about how palestinians are treated and how their lives are so different from our own secure world. Americans are so engrossed in their busy lives and we hear very little of what goes on there. ...

Bill Watkins

What wonderful memories Watkins shares with us
This book is the final book in a trilogy of memoirs that Bill Watkins has written about his youth and coming of age as a Celt. The whimsy in a title that refers back to "The Once and Future King," King Arthur, is an indication of the intellectual humor that permeates the books. Watkins himself was born in Birmingham, England of an Irish mother and a Welsh father. Both parents were storytellers ...

Great book for scientists and attorneys alike
A friend with whom I often discuss books suggested I read The Litigators and lent me her copy. I am an applied biologist by training and I work as a consultant in animal agriculture. I found the scientific nature of the book's plot to be intriguing and prescient to our times. The book did an excellent job of addressing the issues of professional ethics within the business of science. Because I am ...
