Review:Neil DeGrasse Tyson is the best, and Space Chronicles is a fantastic read! Plenty of history, well blended with Tyson's unstoppable passion for space technology and exploration. I read the whole thing, from cover to cover, and send it to my best friend. Read more

Review:This profound Carl Sagan book does not include the wonderful color illustrations as the earlier version contains. Consequently, it is like a National Graphic Magazine without the pictures.

I love the words of Dr. Sagan, but words plus the spectacular pictures truly make "music."

Following is the edition you should get. I threw away the "Pale Blue Dot" paperback I received yesterday and today ordered a used hardback:

Review:It is a very well researched book. The language Carlson used is very easy to understand. He had used many Tesla's letters as the backbone of his chapters. The technical issues may be difficult for most to understand. But, what can one expect? Tesla was an inventor.

Carlson did not shy away from the shortcomings of Tesla. He painted an accurate account of Tesla. Good or bad. Tesla is a person. Unlike authorised biography, it is frank. Read more

Review:His ideas truly changed our world.We would never have our modern electrical distributuion with Edison's short sighted DC distribution ideas.However he spent too much of his book on on his brain and its flashes. Read more

Review:Always been very interested in Mr. Tesla. To me, the most under-estimated and under-credited inventor of all time. He was very far ahead of his time and very misunderstood. I wish the people back then had been more accepting of his ideas. I was glad to have more knowledge of his life and personality after reading this book. The only flaw was that it sometimes jumped back and forth in time from one chapter to the next. I would have preferred a more chronological structure to the book. Read more

Review:I leave this book on the table for my families who bring their children for music lessons. I have had parents actually order this book from reviewing it in our music studio. There is so much wise counsel for young and old both. This is wonderful book for all ages. Sincerly, Roberta Marie Kiszer Proprietor: Joyful Noises Music Studio..... Read more

Review:Luther starts from being a novice cabin-dweller on a northern lake to experienced resident. Separate sections consider tropical afflictions. This is not a DIY for buying every possible water storage device. It should be the text you keep beside you as you evaluate the offerings out there.
I suppose it was necessary to start with descriptions of all the water borne diseases that make us sick. This jeremiad EMPHASIZES finding clean water before you feel dehydration on the third day. And there a... Read more

Review:The riveting, astonishing and inspirational story of the women who took us to space starting in the 1940s and continuing through every NASA space mission. This is a record of immense importance and a story that was nearly lost. Yet it is an edge of your seat page turner. Looking at the monumental achievement of this group of women, particularly the nearly unfunded Voyager program that resulted in the only man made objects to reach interstellar space (still functioning 44 YEARS after launch) a...

Review:A great book and very well written.

Haney took alot of heat for doing so but that's to be expected.

My only confusion came about when Haney described hunting down and killing a former U.S. Special Forces sergeant named Baez in Honduras.

Baez was actually captured alive during the battle of Yolo Valley and taken to a small Honduran airstrip where his capture was reported. Nicaraguan by birth Baez returned to Nicaragua after serving in the U.S. Army. He joined the Sandinista... Read more

Review:An outstanding and deep analysis of how computer and robotics technology (especially artificial intelligence) is shaping the world we live in but more importantly, are heading toward in the not-so-distant future. Of special note is the explanation of the widening income and wealth gap and how it is driven by advancing technology, a gap that is growing wider and is slowly making its way to center stage in US politics. The book is penetrating in its analysis and enormous in its scope. A must-read ... Read more
