Hole's Human Anatomy & Physiology
Hole's Human Anatomy & Physiology

Review:I just transferred and I took one semester of anatomy at Milligan College and one semester of anatomy at King University. King required the holes human anatomy and physiology book and I have 3 times the amount of trouble reading than one then the 1 Milligan had me which was visual anatomy and physiology 2. There are very few pictures and the wording is hard to comprehend. I just use my old anatomy text book instead of bothering with the Holes because it blows a fat one. It confused me on topics ...

Ecotopia: 40th Anniversary Epistle Edition
Ecotopia: 40th Anniversary Epistle Edition

Review:My first experience with ECOTOPIA was with my 11th grade English class in Anchorage, Alaska. We were each given a copy of it to read, discuss, and write about. That was back in April of 1990, when Earth Day was 'big'. Now Earth Day doesn't get much mention at all, just a few seconds in the news on April 22. It is sad to see that the environmental enthusiasm has lost its momentum with my lost and now markedly apathetic generation: Generation X (as the media marketers labeled it to sell thi... Read more

Ecotopia: A Novel
Ecotopia: A Novel

Review:This was pretty good, not great, but worth reading. It has lots of ideas about how we could live better lives without being to overtly preachy, but it is preachy. It's an interesting take on ecology and what would be the best way to live. There were many good ideas, and the love story was a good addition, but not all that compelling. It was more about social change and interactions than personal interactions. Read more

The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer - American Prometheus
The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer - American Prometheus

Review:What a powerful book. Beautifully written. Oppenheimer was a near-mythical figure and suffered a tragedy that was undeserved and spiteful. A must-read for anyone who wants a better understanding of this man and the times in which he lived. Read more

Assholes: A Theory
Assholes: A Theory

Review:The person I bought this for (22 just graduated from College) wasn't too impressed. However, his younger brother (20 in college) told me he appreciated it because many of his classmates in music school would fit in this category. My thinking that in the work world it's helpful to know how to interact with the multitude of folks that fall under this label. Read more

Yoga Anatomy
Yoga Anatomy

Review:Beautiful illustrations, detailed and easy to understand. It is a book, for the average practitioner, to have around and look into from time to time in order to gain more insight on the muscles each pose directly affects. There is just so much depth to yoga poses than what we might simply guess. I think this a very interesting book. Read more

Zeitoun
Zeitoun

Review:With the recent controversy over the Ground Zero Mosque, it is crucial that teachers incorporate literature into the curriculum that highlights the fact the Muslim religion is not equated with terrorism; terrorism is not a religion.

Eggers successfully documents the trauma of the Zeitoun family following the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. The novel is based on a series of in depth interviews of the Zeitoun family, friends, and relatives, as well as, other central figures who share Zei... Read more
