Apollo LLRV Lunar Landing Research Vehicle (NASA SP-4108)
Apollo LLRV Lunar Landing Research Vehicle (NASA SP-4108)

Review:Working with Don Mallick for 18 years and following the projects that the pilots of NASA Dryden Flight Research Center made reading this book a must. Having him explain the projects in terms that an accountant could understand, I knew that I would also be able to understand his book, not so technical like he could have written. Read more

Cosmic Serpent: DNA and the Origins of Knowledge
Cosmic Serpent: DNA and the Origins of Knowledge

Review:Great book of real scientist and anthropologist who had own experience of amazonian tribal life and psychedelic journeys with local curanderos. In this book you will find ideas how modern science can be integrated with shamanic practices for their mutual benefits and benefits of all people. Combination of DNA studies and shamanic journeys can be a new battlefield for new discoveries and prosperity of humankind. Read more

Ancient DNA and the New Science of the Human Past
Ancient DNA and the New Science of the Human Past

Review:Okay, I admit it. When it comes to understanding the importance and methodology of genometic research and its influence on discovering the origins of humans and their long journey from then until now, I am a seething mass of ignorance. Human distribution has always fascinated me but being old I have relied almost exclusively on physical (archeology) evidence. The old saying that old dogs cannot learn new tricks is a complete myth and the same hold true that the understanding and acquisition o... Read more

Learn How to Make Soap at Home with Recipes - and Step-by-Step Instructions

Review:Very easy to read and excellent instructions! Due to time limitations, I can't sit down and devour a book anymore. This book breaks everything up into nice easy sections to read so you feel like not only are you learning something, but you retain it as well. I only wish it had color photo's, but that's alright...there are other books out there that have photo's that I can look at. I am new to soapmaking and found this to be a terrific reference and well worth it to purchase. Read more

and the Race to Electrify the World
and the Race to Electrify the World

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

Mission Control From Mercury to Apollo 13 and Beyond
Mission Control From Mercury to Apollo 13 and Beyond

Review:Amazing story of brilliant people achieving an even more amazing goal. Amid all the turmoil of the 60's they achieved what still seems impossible while using a slide rule at the dawn of the computer era. Read more

The Right Stuff
The Right Stuff

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

How the Quest for the Ultimate Learning Machine Will Remake Our World
How the Quest for the Ultimate Learning Machine Will Remake Our World

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

2015 International Energy Conservation Code
2015 International Energy Conservation Code

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
