Extraordinary book about the true nature of wealth and money
Absolutely incredible! Forget everything you think you know about money, banking and commerce. As this book concisely and effectively points out, hardly any of what you think you know about such things is accurate; it's impossible to know what you don't know. In fact, as you read on you quickly realize that if you think about money issues in a "conventional" way, it will greatly diminish if ...

Excellent all around book about Revolutionary War!
What a well written book. This book may look big and overwhelming, but give it a try. The author has a writing style that just consumes you. Before you know you have read 50 pages and learned something new on each page. Gives information on all aspects of the war. I would highly encourage people to read this book.

The absolute best book to teach ANYONE how to manage their finances--and an easy, interesting read, too!
I absolutely LOVED this book. I saw this book in my community library a few months ago, and liked the cover, so I decided to check it out. Little did I know it would change my life! It changed the way I looked at budgeting, and taught me many different things--HOW to save your money, WHERE to save your money, and WHEN to save your money, among other things...and made it all easy to understand. I ...

What to do when you answer the door and the wolf is there.
I want to keep my review short because, if you have not read this book, reading my review will take up some of the time in which you could be reading the real book. When "Moving Violations" was first published, I heard a review of it on NPR. John Hockenberry is an NPR alum so I expected the book to be almost as good as the review led me to believe. I ordered it from Amazon and devoured it in ...

The Daily Five
The Daily Five is going to change my literacy block in my second grade classroom. I'm excited about starting a new year with fresh ideas and a structure that will allow me more one-on-one and small group time for conferencing and instruction with my students.

Fun, Silly and Most Importantly, Engaging for Young Readers!
I think every young child whose ever accidentally released a balloon into the wild blue yonder has wondered what happens to them...and this book gives kids some whimsical ideas about the secret life of balloons that should ease their minds about what happens...I suppose this is a better way for kids to think about it than just popping somewhere up there and plummeting to the ground. The words ...

I loved it!
I just finished reading this book although it has been on my shelf for several years. I'm really sorry now that I waited so long to read it! I loved the characters and the language, although younger children might have a little trouble with it. It is told from the point of view of Meg, daughter of a scottish shipwright. She grows up very close to her oldest sister, Inge, who everyone believes ...
Energy Victory: Winning the War on Terror by Breaking Free of Oil

Robert Zubrin
Prometheus Books
, 2007
This is a serious book
A serious book calls for a serious review and I will try to provide that. Zubrin covers a lot of ground so I will take this by chapter. First, the author has a PhD in nuclear engineering so he knows the science. The first two chapters provide the rationale for his campaign to replace petroleum with methanol, and to a lesser degree ethanol. The book was written a year ago and the effects of food ...

THE KING AND THE QUEEN ARE DEAD. LONG LIVE OUR QUEEN!
This writer is, by own right, the new Spanish speaking queen of writers! Before her splendor, Isabel Allende and Garcia Marques might as well be dead ! The book is UNIQUE! The writing impeccable, light as the wings of a butterly but deep as the emotions of a great woman!

good perception
I read Cesaire's 'discours sur le colonialisme' in one afternoon at a coffe place and it was captivating in how intellectually he wrote, with tinges of attitude in the words. A lot of the things he wrote about I already knew from studying a lot about Africa before and what ethnocentricism vs. ethno relativism means when applying yourself and perceptions of other cultures. This book is as ...

Wake up, world
The extraordinarily wide-ranging review of our major energy sources should be manadtory reading for everybody. The case is then made for developing (and researching further) the use of methanol as a future energy source. It is compelling. Why do we not hear politicians and the press screaming for this work to be done? Creating a practical new source of energy whilst having an impact on ...

The author is well-versed in his subject and is a definate must-have book if you are looking to get into this field. Definately worth ...

"a true, enduring classic"
Gordon S. Wood is one of the deans of the so-called "intellectual historians" of the Revolutionary era. I just finished reading this book for the third time in the last 15 years, and I am struck by the sweeping nature of it. Wood's thesis is essentially that Americans' thinking about government and politics underwent a remarkable change in the 11 years between the writing of the Declaration of ...

Anson Y.'s book review. HK.
This is a very good book. When you read it, it seems so real! Every year, in high school, they had a Fall Festival. And this year's Festival will be the best ever. Abby wanted to go with her friends--NOT her little brother and her parents. But first, she had to prove how mature she is. So Abby planned alot of plans. Those were a great plan for independence...until disaster struck! P.S. ...

Joline Godfrey's book 20 Secrets to Money and Independence has been making me smile for years. It is an easy to understand guide to some of the more complex ideas of becoming a well rounded women. I first learned about investing, net worth, and even "embracing my wierdness" from Joline. Now I have a better foundation to pursue my dreams from. Independence is something I can have, now. I was about ...
