Review:Rydra Wong is a poet - the poet of her generation, though only in her twenties, with a readership spanning five galaxies. Her readership also spans two sides of an interstellar war. Because of her past skills at decryption and current skills in many human languages, her help is asked in decoding messages that precede devastating acts of sabotage against our side.
Rydra discovers that codename Babel-17 is no mere cipher. It's a language instead, with its own words, grammar, and lethal inte... Read more
Review:This excellent book helped me to identify, and develop practical strategies to survive, traumatic incidents from my past which have affected my interpersonal relationships for many decades.
Based on Young's Schema Therapy questionaire (which can be downloaded from the web), Reinventing your life takes us through a process of identification of "faulty thinking" which impacts in negative ways on our emotions and hence our relationships.
This book was recommended by my psychologist, whom I wi... Read more
Review:I bought these for our homeschool and all our kids just love them! The cards are high quality, although I did laminate them for longevity. My 7 & 8 year old boys actually memorized all 100 birds by sight. Wow. My 5 and 3 year olds also enjoy playing with these and have memorized many of them! Read more
Review:One of the most powerful books. Math should not be a gate keeper. Integrates Dweck's work. Teacher must read. Add to your teacher prep programs and book study plc. What happened to the kindle version? Read more
Review:Harper speaks to the boy growing into manhood on a level that is easily understood and straight from the heart. He doesn't preach, he gives options with reasons. I'd like to give this book to every adolescent male in America who needs a mentor. Read more
Review:Excellent and informative read.
Excellent and informative read. Answered many questions about our government and military operations. I did not panic when I learned my suspicions regarding EBE's are true. It is time the public knew the whole truth. Read more
Review:The only "evidence" this book provides is that some people will ignore scientific fact if they feel threatened by it. The author's arguments are based on faith and wishful thinking, not reason. That should tell you all you need to know. Read more
Review:The author, Friedman, is a gifted writer. He's won 3 Pulizer prizes so far. A truly brilliant man. I recommend this book to everyone who wants to keep up with the global/international times, especially the electronic/technological times. The book is astonishingly apt to our changing times. This book will "blow your mind." It did mine. I read this book as it was published in 2005, so when the author updated and expanded the book, I was thrilled and could hardly wait to read the new version... Read more
Review:I am delighted with this coloring book as well as with her previous books. Besides Autumn Scenes I have Winter Wonderland, Spring Scenes, and the Pretty Princess. Her animal drawings often have a humorous expression. There are cute little hedgehogs on two pages in this book, which, while not what you'd see in North America, are adorable. Read more
Review:This book is very good; everything is laid out in a good, logical fashion & everything is thoroughly explained. The book is completely convincing that a cheap, efficient Mars program is entirely possible right now.
It is because of this that reading the book is very frustrating. Why frustrating? Because while reading the book, one realizes that the only thing keeping humanity from colonizing Mars is ignorance, political wrangling, and public apathy.
Incidentally, the book that got me... Read more
