Review:What an incredible piece of history, told by a master storyteller. Bacon’s art is in the everyday details mixed with the perfect blend of drama and intrigue that is gripping right from the start. A thoroughly enjoyable, and illuminating read from beginning to end! Read more

Review:I would recommend for a high school summer reading project. Perfunctory on science and engineering, laced with irrelevant
factoids (two pages describing Grant's funeral, which had nothing to do with the subject matter among many others), stilted, disjointed sentence structure with excursions into obscure dead ends that yield zero insight into the true difficulties of giants on the horizon of the twentieth century's revolution in physics, engineering and industry. A real disappointment for ... Read more

Review:We love this manual. We recently got a 79 Superbeetle and I borrowed this copy from my local library. I didn't even know they carried this kind of thing. Turns out, this book is GREAT! Gives you information not found in other manuals AND says it in a way that you don't need to be a mechanic to understand how to do it. This is one of the best purchases I ever made on Amazon.

Review:This book is fundamental for the ML enthusiasts conceptual bookshelf.

Some have complained about it's lack of technical detail; mind you, it's a conceptual book and should not be read for technical know-how but more for understanding the spirit of the machine learning researcher and what the big picture is all about. Read more

Review:ICC system of organization & cross referencing seems to be set up so that the authors can prove how obtuse they can make something. I have worked with Building Codes for 40-years and they just seem to get more illogical in organization each issue. Going to multiple locations to try to piece together the requirements for an issue often leads to varying interpretations of the intent to no one's benefit. Read more

Review:This book was pretty amazing! GOD wanted this guy to live! It shows U GOD knows exactly where each of us is at all times! It was also pretty amazing that he didn't remember his visit to heaven until later. It changed his life that is for sure!? Read more

Review:absolutely fascinating delineation of what it took in people, ideas, time, governmental funding, invention and experimentation to confirm the existence of gravity waves posited by Einstein about 100 years ago.. Read more

Review:In times of stress when authors are producing crap (yes, that is what many publisher's are putting out there with superb quotes that can not possibly be real) and calling their "work" writing! So far from the truth as to be outside the Milky Way galaxy. My favorite "writer" to call out for this is James Patterson. Tom Wolfe's work is indeed worthy of another go 'round if you do not care for the classics and if you do care for the classics as well. I have read Bonfire so many times that my hard... Read more

Review:Coll provides readers with a comprehensive analysis of a great and powerful American company. You may not agree with all of the author's opinions or with all of ExxonMobil's business practices, but you are likely to be favorably impressed by both. If you are interested in the oil business, you will enjoy this book. Read more
