Review:An eye opening book about public investments in infrastructure projects, primarily water management. The book is quite thorough, well-researched and very readable. It makes your blood boil to see how decisions are made, how much money is wasted, the damage to our planet and its future, and the beneficiaries of government largess. Read more

Review:Naomi Klein has summed it all up. There definitely is a lot of history to go through, but it is so interesting and keeps your interest all the way through. It is far from a personal perspective on Global and Domestic Shock Economics. She backs up everything with citations from a multitude of sources, worldwide. Her allusions and similes based on hard facts scared the hell out of me of what the government has been capable of over the past 60 years.

It seems like she has "outed" the Shock... Read more

Review:Wow! Where to begin... I bought this book after viewing the 48 Hours program entitled Deadly Obsession. I’ve been around the block several times as a psych nurse turned trial lawyer. I can say pretty honestly that I have heard it all at least once so very little shocks me. But Charlie Brandt keeps me awake at night.

I decided I would like to know more, a lot more. The murders of his wife Teri and his niece Michelle suggested this guy had developed a real taste for it. I was skeptical that... Read more

Review:As a female Saints fanatic and season ticket holder since '72, this book definitely fulfilled my expectations! Drew Brees is a one in a million guy, and I believe it when he says God led him to N.O. We needed a hero, and Drew fulfilled that need, along with many other caring people, in helping to restore 'the city that care forgot'.

The book was inspirational to me. I laughed, smiled, giggled, and cried. It was so well written that I felt I was sitting there with Drew as he told his s... Read more

Review:I purchased this from Barnes & Noble the other day. As a former biology student and dinosaur fan who's gotten a little rusty on the finer points of scientific terminology, I was very happy with the writing style. Many scientific works are written solely for the working members of the scientific community. This, however, was a science book written for everyone else to enjoy. The writing style is clear, and simple, but not watered down to the point of being patronizing/insulting the reader's i... Read more

Review:When you plan ahead for a Christmas or Hanukkah gift for a youngster who is learning about the world, this is that book to get. The maps are first class, the book is over sized and makes perusing a pleasure. Now, I am a history buff and learned a lot about Cartography (map making) while reading this book. Maps have been around for centuries and it seems that they were made originally by religious folks to explain areas where they had an interest. This book encompasses the world and does so w...

This is the fastest and most powerful little book that you will ever read. It is a great reminder of how every life matters . We never know who what when or how but we are all connected Read more

Review:I got a bit tired of the continuous description of the rivers, but I did so enjoy hearing their reports when they met with the Indians, and finding out if they were hostile or not. They were out in all kinds of weather. Such strong men. Read more
