Cheese is my downfall! If it's yours too...This Book's For You!
I met author Paula Lambert almost by accident while strolling the aisles of the January 2007 San Francisco Fancy Food Show at Moscone Convention Center. As owner of the Mozzarella Company in Dallas, TX she was there with her staff promoting their gourmet artisan cheeses and I spied her two books at the back of the booth. I bought them both on the spot, and only recently discovered that Cheese, ...

Cornelius Ryan

Simon & Schuster, Inc., 1959

It Started Two Genres
Cornelius Ryan invented two genres with his ground-breaking history-The Longest Day. On the one hand, he started a trend to personalized history. His book relies heavily on the recollections of those who fought on both sides. In this he anticipates Ken Burns' The War - A Film By Ken Burns and Lynn Novick and also The Second World War the more scholarly John Keegan. His other innovation, a brisk ...

The technique of the love affair,

Simon and Schuster, inc, 1928

the previous review is just stupid
Why do people post who have NOT read the book they are writing a review for?! Like the poster below. Don't bother seeking Dorothy Parker's review of Technique of the Love Affair, like I did, thinking Parker maybe wrote more, because it's IN THE BOOK! And is, like, a paragraph long, at best; more than half is quoted on the very page you're reading! That rant aside, I love this book. While one ...

Master Lam Kam-Chuen

Simon & Schuster Inc., 1991

Must have book for beginners to Chi Kung
The past few years I've been practicing various types of meditation and decided I wanted to combine meditating with movement, so I turned to the internal martial arts (Qigong, Tai Chi, Xiang Yi, Ba Gua). After speaking to several internal arts teachers from sound linneages, they all recommended starting with Qigong, and to spend at least half a year only mastering several postures before moving ...

Walter Bortz

Simon & Schuster, Inc., 1996

A fantastic realistic summary of what it takes to make 100.
As one who just turned 50 in 1997, this book only confirmed and summarized the correct approach and process of how one could live to be 100. I will try to put into place these techniques in my own life (those not already in place) to reach this goal. Being athletic and strong willed, I believe I will make it. An excellent book that everyone should try to follow!!!!

Timothy Ferris

one of the best cosmology books I've ever read
Every year I read about 5 books about cosmology and physics. So I know what I'm saying: this book really is great. Sure, it's about 8 years old, too old in cosmology. In particular, the discovery that the universe is accelerating has changed a lot of the questions that cosmologists contemplate. But even if you read a book that was published yesterday, it'll be out of date next month. So you ...
