Review:I am a great admirer of Dawkins and his lucid writing, but was curious to see wether this applied to writing for youngsters (having a 15 year old grandson). Happily this turned out to be the case. A minor point: as a MD I thought the medical part a little bit weak. Read more

Review:This is an amazing true story that although difficult to continue at times is so worth it in the end. Some people have so much inner strength that somehow they emerge victorius in life even though they have been to the depths of existence. Read more

Review:Stories were good for children, though a little graphic in parts. I expected Ali Baba and agencies, and was disappointed. The foreword explained how this was an original version and that older versions did not include these stories. However, I enjoyed most of them and got a small taste of old Arabic/Oriental culture. Do read if you're curious.... Read more

Review:The authors used two decades of research on attachment theory to explain, in clear and simple terms, how to identify an appropriate match and how to constructively work through conflict. A compelling book. Read more

Review:Ijeoma’s book on race is essential reading for anyone who wanted to call out their racist uncle at Thanksgiving but felt unsure of what to say. It’s both a practical guide to being anti-racist and a primer on the history and dynamics of systemic racism in America. It’s also a fast, accessible read, and incredibly well written like all of her work. Read more

Review:Campbell's examples are very difficult to get through but the brilliance of the parallels he draws can not be overlooked. As a first time writer it was very insightful and interesting. Good price too. Read more

Review:This is a condensed Campbell reader with insight for everyone in a philosophical mood. I think he's a go to guy for connecting dots between cultures and with some insights on life, stay on the rails and seek one's bliss. Read more

Review:Fascinating study of the psyche.Insightful exploration of the myths which inform our subconscious. While the binding is sturdy, the quality of the paper is poor. Of course, this is the publisher's issue; still, I was disappointed. Read more

Review:A lot has changed for Jen Lancaster since she first started writing, and in "My Fair Lazy" she realizes that not all of it is for the better. In a world overrun with reality television, is it really acceptable to just be less stupid than those people on TV? Not so much. In her new memoir, Jen shares her antics and adventures while working to become more cultured and escaping the comfort zone into which she has fallen. It's not always sunshine and roses, but it's always witty, insightful, and... Read more
