Review:Seven Pillars of Wisdom is fascinating from cover to cover. The book is on some levels Lawrence's study of himself as much as a history of the battles in which he was involved. He writes, "Any protestation of the truth from me was called modesty, self-depreciation. It always irritated me, this silly confusion of shyness, which was conduct, with modesty, which was a point of view... I was not modest, but ashamed of my awkwardness, of my physical envelope, of my solitary unlikeness which made me n... Read more

Review:I never thought anyone could skewer the office workplace as well as Scott Adams (“Dilbert”) but Sarah does just as sublime a job of it. This book contains many laugh out loud moments. I love the drawings that illustrate the points, which are often as humorous as her various tips. As someone who groans inwardly at the thought of any meeting lasting longer than an hour, I can absolutely relate – in a humorous way – to all Sarah’s suggestions. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys good office hu... Read more

Review:The book, "Barking to the Choir" is a spectacularly moving book. I wrote notes on many of the pages as I read the book. In fact, I was so mesmerized, I purchased five more copies to give to others. The messages of the book deeply reached me personally and for the work that I do. Read more

Review:In this highly informative and interesting book, Tom Standage chronicles the evolution of food, explaining how humanity's first meals were hunted and gathered by people who literally lived off the land and how a shift towards farming and a development of agriculture prompted the first civilizations to be built. As people and cultures evolved, so did food's place in society, and as Standgae relates, food became, by turns, a power to exploit, a wealth to hoard, and a very special focus of politics...

Review:This book should be read by High Schools across the nation. This will probably never happen, because the truth hurts and the truth will set you free, the facts are harsh and eye opening. But if you want to know how history shaped our surrounding now then this is a great book. It cannot be read in one sitting but its an interesting book, a great read! Read more

Review:Mr. Marshall's history of Crazy Horse and the upheavals in the Lakota culture make for a spell-binding book. It is very interesting to view history from a Lakota perspective, as opposed to the white-written history books many of us were force-fed in school. The people who lived on the plains in the 1800's were not the "savage and untamed" monsters depicted in many history books, just as the white forefathers (Washington, Jefferson, etc.) were not the "holy saints" they were portrayed as being. M... Read more

Review:Sweeping history of a relatively short period of time - the history they never taught us in school. The brutality of it all. The inevitability. The miscalculations. The tragedy for Native Americans. Read more
