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:There is a lot of thought-provoking information buried in this book. At times though, it would have been nice to have more detailed charts of timelines and evolutionary trees for we visual types. I'm rather dissatified with the Kindle version of teh book as the are many references to fact on certain pages numbers - we I cannot see! Read more

Review:I am working my way through this series after having owned the first few books for some years. I have to admit, I was pretty skeptical about it and didn't think I would like them at first. However, I have found the plot to be very engaging and the books are extremely well written. Furthermore, I am actually learning about scripture just by reading them. And the interweaving of the scripture is very well done-- you learn as the characters learn. I am looking forward to finding time to finish t... Read more

Review:Science fiction can only hope to emulate the deep intricacy and magnificent wonder that the reality of our universe can boast. While seemingly complex and evasive in nature, the laws that govern our universe hold answers that may astound even the most imaginitive.

King required the holes human anatomy and physiology book and I have 3 times the amount of trouble reading than one then the 1 Milligan had me which was visual anatomy and physiology 2.

Review:Provides information that has not been reported that can help us all understand what happened to Black people in this country and the implications for the future as well as repeating it in the present. It is a very time read. I wish educators, especially history teachers would read this book as they are the front line in providing perspective to the rest of us. Read more

Review:The QI writing team does it once again, this time compiling facts from ten years of the show into a rapid-fire hitlist of information. What's nice here is that the facts aren't totally random. Some are grouped together according to theme or word, and they've even got citations for each in a lengthy index in the back.

While other books claim to be "bathroom readers" designed to entertain readers for the long-haul, this one would do suitably for short 15-second trips if necessary. Read more
