Science & Math
Review:I read this book when it first came out in the 70s. I was impressed then and was impressed again when I read it this time. No complaints there.
This is a book written by a psychotherapist for psychotherapists and patients of psychotherapy. I am neither, but there are good thoughts and things of great worth to me between these covers.
The book itself, though newly printed and bound, was rather cheaply put-together. I am careful with my books, but several pages just fell out of this ... Read more
Review:Articles on various topics, usually short, that describe interest of their author in a theory of their choice. It is good for reading in the occasions where you don't have dwell time for longer thought. Having a world view beyond the secular, I did get tired of it in spots and nearly put it down. Read more
Review:The book contains short chapters, each a fascinating and witty piece explaining a particular aspect of mathematics and why it is important in "real life." It is appealing even to math-phobes and should be recommended by teachers to their students. Read more
Review:This book topped of my gift of salt to perfection. The introduction is personal and fascinating; I couldn't stop reading. I gave the book away as part of my gift, so didn't get to read the whole thing. It was a great success. Read more
Review:Bought for a 9yr old niece who is very interested in science. I love how it has the potential to teach female children that science and math are not 'boy things' and help them stay interested in these subjects. Sometimes you just need to be reminded that science is cool for girls too. Read more
Review:Super frustrated because the distribution says it comes with the COGLAB which I need for my class. We are poor enough and strapped for time already being in college. The last thing we need is "trusted" sites like this taking advantage of us. Make the description clearer. I will be returning this. Read more
Review:David Deutsch fails to deliver a complete work to succeed his magnificent work, "The Fabric of Reality." I really enjoyed the first 121 pages or so, but when undetected, uncorrected errors creep in for no good reason, one wonders just how serious the author takes his own premise. As such, the remainder of the book became a chore to finish. A big disappointment to a promising start. Read more
Review:The book is well written and well illustrated. For gardeners, It opens up the wonders of the microbe world where plants and microbes benefit from each other. It is recommended for anyone interested in growing food. Read more
Review:This book is very poor, There are no connection to be made, and the gapes in it are Large to say the least. If you look at the author Timothy Good he seems like a rather aggressive personality, someone who is not a dedicated researcher and will fill you with Bull. Do not be fooled like me and buy this crummy book. Seriously dont. Read more
Review:I hesitated between three and four stars, but decided to give it four. I have read everything Oliver Sacks has ever written, and _Seeing Voices_ is one of my favorite books. However, I found this book less engaging than nearly all of his previous works. I enjoyed the new case studies, but I felt somehow that I had already read the same information in his previous books. The exception to this is his first-person narrative of his own experience with his changing sight, which was a somewhat jarring... Read more
