Review:In the process covering too much ground, there is some not so useful information depending on the target audience. For example, people who make home videos are not he same as the people who make films Read more

Review:I found the ideas In there very similar to how I work as a crowd controller supervisor. It has given me more direction on how to refine my communication skills when dealing with the public as well as family members.

Review:I would recommend tis book to anyone who is thinking about what nature teaches us about the existence of God. De Waal is an atheist who is much less strident than some, who is also a good story teller. This makes him an easier read for people on the fence (I think) He does not hurl insults at the faithful but is gentlemanly in his tone. His books are also are full of information on our closest ape relatives including excellent anecdotes to illustrate his scientific findings. An enjoyable read in... Read more

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:Uh, I think I was expecting something different, but maybe not since it turned out it's exactly what the title promises, which is basically how to suck out all the joy from reading a book for pleasure and capturing a book's insights from that pleasure and not because you're looking for ways to fulfill your own ideological agenda as someone lucky enough to have a job for life.

5 stars isn't about the content, but about the book arriving when it was supposed to and being the one pictured/undamaged.

Thus the "striking of coins" began and within 50 years most major trading cities were issuing coins, especially the cities of ancient Greece. An interesting development in this regard was the two-sided coin, with an "obverse" side (H), deemed the most important and usually decorated with the head of a rule... Read more

Review:I am not a student of philosophy and this is my first book to read by the author. Naturally, I didnt find the book an easy read, but I can't blame the author since Im on unfamiliar territory. However, I really enjoyed reading the book and its amazing how many phrases are worth memorizing. The book is very original and very intelligent. From what I read Nietzsche is against organised religion, so I thought it was quite strange that he chose a Prophet to deliver this thoughts to us. Read more

Review:Articles on various topics, usually short, that describe interest of their author in a theory of their choice. It is good for reading in the occasions where you don't have dwell time for longer thought. Having a world view beyond the secular, I did get tired of it in spots and nearly put it down. Read more
