Taking Things Seriously: 75 Objects with Unexpected Significance 8 reviews
Joshua Glenn, Carol Hayes
Princeton Architectural Press, 2007
Objects of Interest to eveyone
This book is a real original. It's great to pick up and enjoy, then pick it up again later and enjoy some more.
It encompasses something everyone does and hardly anyone really thinks about...hoarding/collecting stuff that is really important only to you. It puts a perspective on people's emotional ties to sometimes useless things. I had a lot fun reading it and sharing it.

Child's Work: Taking Children's Choices Seriously4 reviews
Nancy Wallace
Holt Associates, 1990
The homeschooling book which is most respectful of children.
Nancy Wallace's book has been in print for almost 10 years now, and there have been dozens of homeschooling books since - how-to's, diatribes, anthologies, talk with the experts, etc. - but there is no book which is more respectful of the intellgience and in-born learning quests of children. Almost uniquely, she looks at "homeschooling" (a label which does not do justice to the book) from ...

Is There Life After Death? The Extraordinary Science of What Happens When We Die: Why Science Is Taking the ...10 reviews
Anthony Peake
Arcturus foulsham, 2006
Must Read
It's a rare thing for me to rave about a book. I love to read and consequently, I read a lot of books and am often disappointed. Not so with "Is There Life after Death" by Anthony Peake. In fact, this was a book that I couldn't and didn't want to put down and yet had to just to think about its content. It's well researched, well written and frankly well published in the sense that it's a quality ...

Roman Mica
raceAthlete Publishing, 2008
Humorous Insights From a Fun Everyman
The beauty of Roman Mica's latest and best effort can be summed up with a couple of sentences from his book:
"Unlike the pros, we don't get paid, and most of the time we certainly don't end up winning our age-groups. So that leaves us with the knowledge that we came and gave it our all. And I'm really good with that."
Insightful, descriptive, fun and empowering are all words to describe ...

Jim Gustafson
Limitless Press LLC, 2006
Seriously, this book is fun!
Take funs seriously is the best book I have read in years. I love to read but sometimes overwhelm myself with "how to" books. Take Fun Seriously has been the best gift I could have given to myself. If you need some fun in your life make sure to keep this book close and make sure to share it with as many friends and family as you can I know I will.

The Seriously Pink V4 reviews
Bob Williamson
Sterlinghouse Publisher, 2001
a seriously fun book
This is one of those books that is hard to put down once you start reading it. The intrigue is first rate. The action is very original. Its fast and exciting. And if you happen to know Miami neighborhoods, it's especially rewarding. This is the best book I have read since Grisham's "The Brethren."

The Insanity Offense: How America's Failure to Treat the Seriously Mentally Ill Endangers Its Citizens3 reviews
E. Fuller Torrey
W. W. Norton, 2008
Long ovedue and too nice...
This author is not kidding...he really tells it as it is, but with a light touch that may miss the mark. State legislators need to be slammed up side the head to get their attention and I fear he is a little too politically correct. As the father of a middle-aged bi-polar daughter, I was blindsided by the impact of her disease. She is one of the lucky ones who found a qualified psychiatrist and ...
