and the Gap Between Us and Them - Moral Tribes
and the Gap Between Us and Them - Moral Tribes

Review:Joshua Greene has a very interesting academic background - he is both a research psychologist and a philosopher. He uses his expertise in both areas to explain why ethical issues are fundamentally impossible to resolve if we rely only on our moral intuitions.

Greene's Moral Tribes: Emotion, Reason, and the Gap Between Us and Them takes the fascinating ideas from Daniel Kahneman's Read more

A New History of the Second World War - The Storm of War
A New History of the Second World War - The Storm of War

Review:Outstanding on all counts. A finely detailed summary of all the decisions as to why Hitler lost the war. Plus the Japanese fiascos that gave us the upper hand early in the war. The atomic bomb was necessary but we would have won regardless. And I was just about to get drafted into the Pacific battles. Read more

SPIN Selling
SPIN Selling

Review:This CD-ROM is more about the philosophy behind SPIN selling rather than providing you with instructions on HOW to actually sell or use the SPIN system (which is the best thing out there).

If you want the best SPIN book on how to do it, get "The SPIN selling fieldbook" because that will give you actual exercises to do.

The thing I really didn't like about this CD is that there are no tracks on it! So if you want to advance from one part of a CD to another you've got to fast forwar... Read more

I Wasn't Strong Like This When I Started Out - True Stories of Becoming a Nurse
I Wasn't Strong Like This When I Started Out - True Stories of Becoming a Nurse

Review:Great, short nursing vignettes that make this a quick and easy read when you only have a short amount of time. Reminds me of the Chicken Soup Series...as there are short nursing stories that engage the reader and then can easily be put down. Purchased as a gift for a newly greaduated nurse...and it was well received and appreciated. Read more

Traveling the World to Find the Good Death - From Here to Eternity
Traveling the World to Find the Good Death - From Here to Eternity

Review:The death rituals of another culture can be mysterious, odd, or downright strange to us but that doesn't mean they aren't beautiful or moving. We are all bound by death and grief - it is interesting to see how many different ways love, remembrance, and memorial can be expressed. Read more

Oxford American Writer's Thesaurus
Oxford American Writer's Thesaurus

Review:Arrived on time as posted date arrival by Amazon as I bought this brand new. The book though thick and bit big but is not heavy.. most of all the prints are big that you don't need an eyeglass to find words. The main word you look are bolder in print that makes it easy to find its synonyms under it. I recommend this thesaurus and Amazon. Thank you. Read more

How To Day Trade Stocks For Profit
How To Day Trade Stocks For Profit

Review:Useless book. It only encourages you to trade on margin, which if you know anything about trading, then you know that's the most dangerous way to trade because you are actually borrowing money to trade with from your broker. The brokers usually charge ridiculous interest fees for this also. NEVER TRADE WITH MONEY YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO LOSE. Read more

Remo Went Rogue (Remo Cobb)
Remo Went Rogue (Remo Cobb)

Review:There is no doubt about it, Mike McCrary can write a fun book. This book was packed with action, violence, and tons of sarcastic humor. There were a ton of one-liners that made me laugh out loud. There was also a lot of fast paced action that kept me on my toes. This is everything I look for in a book.

You have the whiny lawyer, Remo, that put away the Mashburn brothers. Not only did he botch the case and get them sent to prison, he stole their money. Well, they get out and come looking f... Read more

The Donner Party's Perilous Journey West - Desperate Passage

Review:I really enjoyed the pace and factuality of the book the author went to great lengths to bring us the story of the Donner party. Be ready for a very gruesome and descriptive account of the amazing will to survive. Read more

A Passage to India
A Passage to India

Review:I read this with a book club not knowing anything about it. I found its images rich and enjoyed the relationship of Aziz and Fielding as a metaphor for the situation between India and England at that time. Makes me wonder if a the west can ever truly know the east even now. Read more
