Why We Need a Green Revolution--and How It Can Renew America
Why We Need a Green Revolution--and How It Can Renew America

Review:Every thinking person on the planet (and everyone who is trying hard to be a thinking person) should read this book for the very survival of our planet.

The president has taken it on his vacation this week, and that tells you something. The author is a "sober optimist," and now I am IF we all work together to build a healthy environment with clean energy and new jobs and beautiful cities, urban areas, forests and oceans. It can be done. You have to concentrate on the book, but the phra... Read more

A Year of Daily Wisdom from Great Thinkers
A Year of Daily Wisdom from Great Thinkers

Review:I like the idea of waking and reading a different quote to get my day started. However, I found the misspellings in the beginning of the book to be a bit distracting. Also, this book didn't seem to be any different than similar books of this nature and there was a lot of quotes that I had seen before from other sources. The kindle format was fine to view on my phone but I think that the actual paper version would have worked better for me.
I received this book for free in exchange for my ... Read more

Review:I love this book. Nathan's passion and enthusiasm are palpable and contagious. Not only is this guide laugh-out-loud funny and easy to read but also directly applicable. I have been writing for years and years and have been querying for three. I almost gave up but was reenergized by this book and landed an agent. I'm thrilled and grateful to have come across such a gift. Thank you, Nathan, for your generosity of heart. Read more

Rabbit: A Memoir
Rabbit: A Memoir

Review:This book is a quick easy read with an inspirational and powerful message. Its interesting seeing this lifestyle through a young girl's eyes. Nevertheless, it demonstrates the importance of "angels" in one's life and makes me want to be there for others and to never pass judgement.

I can't help but wonder how's everyone doing now and what's her mother's story? Read more

Undercover Dispatches from a Dying Regime - Armed Madhouse
Undercover Dispatches from a Dying Regime - Armed Madhouse

Review:Can you say "home-grown facism"? We got to repair our method of law-making in this country. Big Money lobbyists are running this government and have been for too long. "By the people and for the people" has become a thing of the past. I hope you sell a billion of your book and maybe a few of them will see the light. Read more

How Science Will Shape Human Destiny and Our Daily Lives by the Year 2100
How Science Will Shape Human Destiny and Our Daily Lives by the Year 2100

Review:I wanted something gristly and meaty that would ideally focus on cutting edge physical research/developments and how they would directly impact the world. The kind of stuff you get exposed to on a daily basis if you read reddit and other aggregators. I hoped this would be supplemental and informative; having just trudged through the first section, that on computer developments, I am thoroughly underwhelmed. The dude is mealy mouthed and talks about the most broad vague trends in jaundiced termin... Read more

Time and the Texture of Reality (Penguin Press Science)
Time and the Texture of Reality (Penguin Press Science)

Review:With 5 hundred and thirty some pages of text, Greene certainly has a lot to say. Fortunately, most of it is very good - as others has said! Not as much on the Zero Point Field and applications as I had hoped but stayed relatively pretty free of New Age conversations. My only reason for 4 stars is not content but the size of the print, especially the notes. Use good light or glasses. Thumbs up. Read more

A Scientific Exploration of the World of Phasers - Teleportation and Time Travel
A Scientific Exploration of the World of Phasers - Teleportation and Time Travel

Review:This is another amazing read from the prolific Michio Kaku. He is an inspiration to all aspiring scientists, researchers and explorers! Read at your own peril as you will not view 'impossible' as so impossible after finishing this treaty to human ingenuity and imagination. It may prove to mind expanding for the cynical or pessimistic! Read more

Parallel Universes and the Deep Laws of the Cosmos
Parallel Universes and the Deep Laws of the Cosmos

Review:For those who may feel intimidated by the plethora of books on physics topics that contain an abundance of formulas and equations, fear not. Brian Greene has a real talent for communicating advanced concepts in simple terms. He is the type of teacher I would have loved to have in college. This book is well worth the price at many times what I paid. Read more
