Review:Justice demands that small businessmen be reduced to corporate employees

According to Ayn Rand: “Every ugly, brutal aspect of injustice toward racial or religious minorities is being practiced toward businessmen” (41). Even if there is some validity in the claim that big business is sometimes treated unfairly, this is childish hyperbole. America has not yet had a policy of genocide against big business so Christians can steal their property. The government has not yet issued a decree ... Read more

Review:My boss bought me The Richest Man in Babylon when he promoted me. I loved it and so I bought it as an audio book too. In the past, I've read Rich Dad, Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money--That the Poor and the Middle Class Do Not! (Miniature Edition) and some of Napoleon Hills' work. I wanted to ventur... Read more

Review:The book itself is fascinating but the Amazon printing is awful, full of typos. In one paragraph I found five! Some typos change the meaning of a sentence or are confusing. There is a much more recent translation of Proust, better than Moncrief's making Proust more accessible but this isn't used by Amazon. For future books in the sequence I'm going elsewhere. Read more

Review:The author does a great job deciphering the different elements of structure and clarified so many pieces I'd been unclear about. Her examples always illustrate clearly what she means. So thankful for KM Weiland and her teaching. Read more

Review:At times, the story was so depressing, I was tempted to put the book down without finishing it, but my curiosity about how it would end kept me going. I'm so glad I did because this story takes away all the excuses people use when they are victimized. Liz was a victim of many things, but she has shown others that they can rise above their situations and rebound from their own poor choices. Read more

Review:Great history of genetics from simple Mendelian genetics to modern capabilities and the ethical issues surrounding them Easy to read You don't need to have a genetics background Better than the Emperor of all Maladies A history of Cancer Read more

Review:Shout out to all Educators - Read this Book! The writing is amazing; feels like you are having a conversation rather than being preached to. Deeply resonated with me about teaching and learning practices. If we still teach the way we were taught - than it's time for change. You will be inspired and encouraged to take the LEAP and start initiating change within your classroom. Read more

Review:It seems this book was written as a compilation from different sources. It is not coherent and very high level. Personally I found it useless and not worth the cost. After I bought it, I went through it in about half an hour and then put it aside.

The overall message is common wisdom that we have heard, practiced or read before. There is nothing new or intriguing.

It seems everyone is getting, these days, into the habit of putting together books that are superficial just to create... Read more

Review:Because we love "The Four Agreements" we knew we could trust this little book would live up to our expectation. I purchased it as a "I love you" surprise, no occasion gift for my husband. He first introduced me to Miguel Ruiz Jr. 15 years ago and The Four Agreements have become by book to live by, so when opportunity happens I will read The Mastery of Self. Read more
