Review:Doesn't really understand new work on biology (especially epigenetics) and neuroscience that demolishes both the materialist/determinist/reductionist program he hates, and his own skepticism about the efficacy of evolution. He's right, though, that some precursor of intentionality, or consciousness, or at least interiority, goes all the way back to the beginnings of the universe. Read more

Review:I suspect that reading this book would be better than the audio version. The author reads her own work and, while I have certainly heard worse narrators, I have also heard much better. The author uses some inflection but her voice is general dull and heavy. Still, for listeners with an interest in sharks, it may be worth the time, even though nothing really spectacular happens nor does the author give a lot of details about the sharks. It is mainly about what happens to her when she visits s... Read more

Review:I have a passion for gaming history books, I think I have read most of the good ones on this topic. Console Wars easily classifies among the top 3/top 5 I have ever read. Well written, full of small anecdotes and deeper analysis as well it really tells the Sega Vs Nintendo tale in a fascinating tale. True, it is much more Sega oriented compared to the pages dedicated Nintendo or other competitors but if you have even the slightest interest in the gaming industry and its history this is a must re...

Review:I very much enjoyed this entertaining and delightful collection of lectures, talks and essays by the world-renown and sorely missed Professor Feynman, Nobel Prize winning physicist, idiosyncratic genius and one of the great men of the twentieth century.

I particularly enjoyed the subtle yet unmistakable way he scolded the people at NASA for putting their political butts before the safety of the space program they were managing in his famous "Minority Report to the Space Shuttle Challenger... Read more

Review:I have heard of Feynman's collection of physics lectures for a long time and had intended reading them "one of these days" but never seemed to get to it. When a couple of friends and I formed a book club to discuss science and other types of expository prose, and one of them suggested this book, I decided "this is the day."

In reading Six Easy Pieces, I had a distinct sympathy with Feynman's undergraduate students. The man's mind must have run at the speed of light, ideas just firing of... Read more

Review:The best cookbook ever. Perfect for a kindle since you'll want to use the search button on kindle a lot to navagate this book. If you want better then Mrs. Fields chocolate chip cookie the recipe is in here. If you want a roast that cooks exactly the same all the way through from the first cut to the last the science know how is in here. Between this book and The America's Test Kitchen "Big Red Book" you really don't need many other cook books. Read more

Review:This book and Barron's SAT Biology together are what you need to do well on the SAT Biology E (I took the E one, not sure about M). I first read through the content in Barron's, then I used this book to reinforce all the concepts. I really love this book's practice tests, drills, and clear + easy to comprehend formatting, which, unfortunately, Barron's is lacking. However, the sacrifice is a little less information ... so that's why you should use Barron's with it. That's what I did, (along with... Read more

Review:Loved that I could rent this book for an inexpensive price! Glad that I can use for it for an entire semester and then send back. This book is very expensive new, but I rented for $45! Who the heck wants to keep a boring chem book... Not I!!!!! Read more

Review:I love Roberts’ portrayal of anything Irish. This series, in particular, is wonderful theater of the mind, whether read or listened to in the audio version. I’ve done both and they’re equally great! Read more
