books about: from     books:       The Code Book - Evolution Of Secrecy From Mary Queen Of Scots To Quantum Cryptography274 reviews Simon Singh Anchor / Random House, 2000 what the others said This book is one of the most highly-rated non-fiction books on Amazon, and for good reason. I won't reiterate the other reviews except to say that the clarity of presentation of complex material is extraordinary. The one caveat is that the book is now ten years old, so you'll need to look for something beyond this to bring you up to the present.             Oh, the Places You'll Go!

For a 992 page piece of nonfiction, there are times when this biography reads like a page turner. Because the late forties, early fifties is a time period all but ignored in most public school History classes I was ignorant of many aspects of the Truman presidency, and certainly about his life in general. This tome has cleared up that problem for me! McCullough is obviously a good writer and ...             All I Need to Know about Filmmaking I Learned from the Toxic Avenger196 reviews Lloyd Kaufman, James Gunn, ...

It follows the story of Martin the Warrior, a legendary character in the Redwall series. Although it wasn't the first book written in the series chronologically, it's probably the best to read first - and if you were to only read a single Redwall book it should be this. Courage, honor, romance, adventure, revenge...this book ...             Harry Potter & The Goblet of Fire ( Rare & Difficult to Find ) 1st Edition, 1st Issue , COLLECTORS ...5191 reviews J. K.

I recommend it for anyone who wishes to be inspired by ones capacity to forgive.             The Revolution: A Manifesto871 reviews Ron Paul Grand Central Publishing, 2009 Ron Paul....unchanged I remember first hearing about Ron Paul from a young guy at work. It was convenient to see humor in a guy that wanted to end all known agencies including education from our system. The young man at work donated his last 25 dollars to the Ron Paul foundation. Boy did we give him hell...laughing away. THEN, I was complaining to myself about having to vote between "the lesser evils" every time at ...             From a Name to a Number: A Holocaust Survivor's Autobiography179 reviews Alter Wiener Authorhouse, 2008 A unique perspective The unique persective given in Mr. Wiener's book, gave me as a reader both a lesson in history and also a profound view of tolerance and forgiveness. After reading the book, I was fortunate enough to hear Mr. Wiener speak at Pacific University Oregon. You feel the power of his message in the book and he fortifies that outlook in person. As with most autobiographical material, Mr. Wiener tells in ...             Musashi: An Epic Novel of the Samurai Era132 reviews Eiji Yoshikawa Harper & Row, Publishers/Kodansha International, 1981 One of my absolute favourites Musashi is a beautiful story and well worth the few weeks it took me to get through it. It is very long and slow-moving in some places and the translation gives it an unusual feel. There are too many characters to keep track of unless you're reading very carefully. But despite this, Musashi captured my heart. Perhaps it was because the characters were so beautifully realistic and both ...             The Blue Day Book125 reviews LLC Andrews McMeel Publishing, Bradley Trevor Greive Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2001 Great book, even better pictures I bought the Bradley Trevor Grieve books after reading one in a waiting room.

I remember discussing several of the essays included in this collection, and being incredibly impressed with both the work and the author. The time, imagination, detail, obsession, intelligence, honesty and humble nature of both the essays and the essayist should at the very least inspire a ...             Wisdom from the Proverbs169 reviews Bargain Books Staff Barbour Publishing, Incorporated, 1997 Don't Leave Home Without It. What can I say? Life is not the same "in Christ" without reviewing "My Utmost For His Highest" devotional. It never gets old. I have read it everyday for over 10 years and it is "new" like THE WORD every time I read it. It is a very easy step to take daily to "let this mind be in you which is in Christ Jesus". Oswald will always point you back to Christ in everyday life.             From Baghdad with Love: A Marine, the War, and a Dog Named Lava143 reviews Jay Kopelman, Melinda Roth The Lyons Press, 2008 A Story of Redemption This is a story about redemption.

Sex, Money and Power from a Psychic's Point of View134 reviews Stephen Piperno Infinity Publishing, 2005 Clever and Historical I found that this book has a lot of history in it. It was nice to read about psychic Stephen's views. I am a firm believer in being open minded and this psychic book made me feel more open minded then ever. I clearly wanted to get a taste of psychic science in a nut shell and I did. This was the 3rd psychic book that I have read and I found it to be different and somewhat entertaining. I ...             No True Glory: A Frontline Account of the Battle for Fallujah136 reviews Bing West Bantam, 2005 Great, tells the true story of our brave Marines, and exposes the flaws of other news reports and politics. This book is great, I loved it. It details how the Marines were deployed, attacked, stopped, restarted and stopped again. This exposes the political and military leaders lack of communication, and proof that if we simply listened to the troops, we could have avoided this. It shows how exaggerated the civilian casualties truly were,and what brave and heroic warriors serve us. Details the combat, ...             Chasing Ghosts: A Soldier's Fight for America from Baghdad to Washington166 reviews Paul Rieckhoff NAL Hardcover, 2006 An Honest Account Paul Rieckhoff gives an honest account of life in the early part of the invasion.
