Flipping the Switch on Technology (P.S.) - Better Off
Flipping the Switch on Technology (P.S.) - Better Off

Review:If you're wondering what to read next, wondering what will be a tremendous read crafted by a master wordsmith and storyteller, you'll want to put this book at the top of your list! Eric and Mary Brende's 18-month venture into a technology-free environment among a community of what he calls Minimite farmers is riveting! I'm obviously not a writer, but I do love a good read: I could hardly put down the book as Eric describes his and Mary's adaptation to a life without electricity or running wate... Read more

How to Lie with Statistics
How to Lie with Statistics

Review:This book replaces one that somebody "borrowed" from me at work. I gave it 4 stars only because, being copyrighted in 1954, the examples are very outdated. But it's a great book that should be required reading for anyone who watches the TV news or reads the newspaper. Read more

The World You Thought You Knew - The Accidental Universe

Review:Requires a unique mindset to fully grasp the beauty of this book. This is not a quick read (nor a cheap one at $18 for 156 reduced size pages) for the beach. Keep an open mind to let his propositions sneak past "the critic" of your questioning brain. Not my favorite Lightman, but then it's not every day you learn that everything you thought you understood about the universe is now turned on its head. Read more

Essentials of Oceanography (11th Edition)

Review:Be careful you don't throw away the cellophane wrapping around the book when you receive it, because apparently there's a valuable code on the label that is the only way you can enable the access to the online content, unless you're interested in paying an additional amount for the right. Content is identical to the hardcover textbook, but don't think about trying to enable access to online web content without that special code! Read more

The Rise of Disaster Capitalism - The Shock Doctrine
The Rise of Disaster Capitalism - The Shock Doctrine

Review:Naomi Klein has summed it all up. There definitely is a lot of history to go through, but it is so interesting and keeps your interest all the way through. It is far from a personal perspective on Global and Domestic Shock Economics. She backs up everything with citations from a multitude of sources, worldwide. Her allusions and similes based on hard facts scared the hell out of me of what the government has been capable of over the past 60 years.

It seems like she has "outed" the Shock... Read more
