Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Majorie Shostak's account of her anthropology trip to Africa's Kalahari Desert examining the rituals, lifestyles and existence of the !Kung tribe is not to be read like an expanded version of a National Geographic article. It is written with academic rigor and precise examination of a !Kung woman Nisa....

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Only Love is Real by Brian Weiss, is the third book by this incredible author. If I could, I would rate this book with 10 stars. Although one does not have to read his previous two books to read this book, he does make references throughout, but his explanations guide the reader and one is never confused...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Other reviewers have summarized the book in detail, so I won't. I'll just emphasize the bottom line:Machines are fast approaching humans in terms of *mental* labor capacity, not just *physical* labor capacity. In the past as machines took over much of our physical labor, we were then free to turn to...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)In "Anatomy of Evil," Dr. Stone (known for his Discovery Channel show, "Most Evil") defines and expands upon the "scale of evil" he uses on the series. Going much further in depth and scholarly analysis than in that excellent series (yet remaining accessible from a lay person's point of view), he defines...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)There is no reason to believe Teju Cole intended his debut novel to present a challenge to reviewers, but that is what "Open City" does. The only way a critic can genuinely convey the force of this book -- its full weight and effect -- is to break a covenant with the potential reader by entering the...
Wicked Bugs: The Louse That Conquered Napoleon's Army & Other Diabolical Insects Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I found out about another 'Wicked' book from Amy Stewart just a week and a half ago. I had greatly enjoyed her 'Wicked Plants' book and had even given a copy to my mom as a gift. So I decided to pick up this book on the strength of the previous one. As before, the quality of the book is excellent. It's...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)It's perhaps slightly surprising to see this put out by Cisco Press. They usually deal with topics closely if not explicitly tied to Cisco hardware, or to Cisco sponsored credentialling. The book has more general scope, for the most part. It talks in broad, largely nontechnical prose, about the Web 2.0....

Like Storm Runners: Book 1 it is action packed, wrapped tight, and has multidimensional characters. Chase and his friends face great danger and use their smarts and strengths....
