Review:This book read quickly and was super interesting! I loved learning about the solution to the ages-old problem of figuring longitude while at sea. The technical detail of the problem was written in an easy-to-understand way, and the people in the history are so well-developed that I became emotionally involved with them--empathetic towards 1, frustrated by another, disliked yet another. From a teaching standpoint, this would be a great starting point for a junior high or high school project-ba... Read more

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

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

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

Review:Well-researched and packed with information, yet also lively and engaging thanks to the writer's wry voice. I think this book will appeal not merely to "cat people," but to anyone who is interested in science, history, and how humans relate to other species. I still prefer dogs, but I have a new respect for cats now! Read more

Review:My boyfriend is in love with this book. He doesn't use any gym equipment and is solely reliant on his own self to do strength training. He had studied other books in the past but he said that he learned lots from this book in regards to muscles targeted and areas he was unknowingly neglecting. Read more

Review:I appreciate the author’s honesty. She tells about her life after foreclosure and her experience with a few goats and an old cabin. She paints a vivid picture of the natural beauty of the Appalachian mountains. Unfortunately, she is just a terribly irresponsible and selfish person so much that I had trouble enjoying her book. Her family maxed out credit cards and failed to pay taxes for several years while going on European vacations, sending her kids to private school, living in a big home, and... Read more

Review:hardly any info on Octopi. Just old views on western consciousness. The author should go sit a 10 day silent meditation vipassana course and explore his own consciousness. Was seriously bummed out, but maybe I had really high expectations because I've always wondered about Octopi Read more

Review:This could happen and is happening any and everywhere! With all the attempts at fracking now. The rivers polluted, etc.. Amazing information that the author was able to uncover. Interesting to read too - Read more

Review:While not a true Kingsolver fan, I am rapidly becomming one! After reading Poisonwood Bible and enjoying it, I read this and absolutely loved it. What I didn't know about ecology, coyotes and moths could fill volumes. I really enjoyed the characters and their interwoven stories and learned so much about the delicate balance of nature. I would recommend this book to anyone without hesitation. It was absolutely wonderful. Read more
