Review:Always been very interested in Mr. Tesla. To me, the most under-estimated and under-credited inventor of all time. He was very far ahead of his time and very misunderstood. I wish the people back then had been more accepting of his ideas. I was glad to have more knowledge of his life and personality after reading this book. The only flaw was that it sometimes jumped back and forth in time from one chapter to the next. I would have preferred a more chronological structure to the book. Read more

Review:I have been thinking about writing for middle grade kids myself, so I thought I would read some works by various authors. I selected this one because I like dogs myself. Oh boy, did I luck out! This is a great book for any age to read, but it's particularly a fine book for a middle grade child. The psychological realism the author offers her readers is astounding. Any child who reads this book will not only have a fine time between the pages but will also learn something about people in the proc... Read more

Review:This thing is awesome! Really fun to flip through and get practical tips on real life situations. As a father of a lot of boys, this is a great discussion piece and a resource for me to raise boys who have a real idea of how to act like a real man. Read more

Review:I used this book in a senior-level university photography course, and it was a good read, but I feel it belongs more in a freshman class or grade school. The book is well written, and does a decent job at not being wordy where it shouldn't be, however, it's mostly basic stuff for anyone who has already experienced the fears of being an artist. Some things were new and beneficial insights for me, but a lot of it was just bringing my existing thoughts and feelings to words. Read more

Review:Especially in 2016, it's important that the production of a book is respected. So, the the book was we received had the cover at the back as the book was pages were printed upside down. I think I'll make my own book, correctly. Read more

Review:Mark Lewisohn has put together a phenomenal and very detailed Anthology of the Bealtes recorded music. The day to day "logs" of the recording sessions shows how the Beatles progressed through their career and how they eventually took much more control of the way thing were done in the studio. A great read for Beatle fanatics. Read more

Review:The essayist Joseph Epstein in his very negative review of this book pointed out that sentences are not ordinarily written as things in themselves but as parts of paragraphs, and whole compositions. Analyzing sentences in and by themselves may be alright for 'aphorisms' but does not make sense for most prose.
Another major error of this work is its contention that 'content' does not matter. Content shapes and content helps define the character and quality of a sentence.
The approach that s... Read more

Review:Excellent guidance on how to overcome the sometimes invisible psychological barriers that prevent people from starting a project and/or pursuing a goal. Mental traps like the "Fortress Fallacy" and perfectionism are insidious not only in their ability to prevent people from pursuing a goal, but also in their ability to erode confidence over time until so much avoidance turns to a life of regret. The author shows readers how these barriers convincingly give us reasons to avoid projects/goals we w... Read more

Review:Alright this new edition is a good book. Lots of color pictures and good descriptions. There are some issues though. I live in Texas and either we don't have as many as other areas or they didn't really cover what we do have but there is hardly any of my local flora in that book. However it will still be in my day pack anywhere I go and as far as I have found this is better than most and as good as any. Read more
