books about: matter     books:       Evolution: What the Fossils Say and Why It Matters29 reviews Donald R. Prothero Columbia University Press, 2007 One of the best! There are a few recent books on religion, science, skepticism, and evolution that will probably go down in history as the "great ones". In that mix I include Carl Sagan's The Demon-Haunted World and Sam Harris's The End of Faith. Donald Prothero's book should certainly be included among such prestigious company!             The Spirit of Lo : An Ordinary Family's Extraordinary Journey29 reviews Terry Detrich, Don Detrich Mind Matters, 2000 Lo's Story Will Be With Me Always I cried my tears as I read your story. I am still in awe over the ability of the human spirit in adversity. Lo and her family have touched thousands of hearts thru their lives and thru their book, no doubt inspiring countless others to stretch themselves to do something they fear is impossible, or to forge ahead when life seems like "too much to handle". Now, when I catch myself complaining ...             Gray Matters: The Workplace Survival Guide23 reviews Bob Rosner, Allan Halcrow, ... Wiley, 2003 A book for even those who "know it all" I approached this book with an attitude of "I know this content already," "I could have written this book". . . . But a few pages into the book, I realized I was learning. The content is surprisingly complete. When skimming the Table of Contents, the topics did not seem comprehensive. But after reading this book, the important things were covered; including sensitive areas that are usually ...             NO MATTER HOW LOUD I SHOUT : A Year in the Life of Juvenile Court24 reviews Edward Humes Simon & Schuster, 1997 Indepth, insightful story by a gifted author No Matter How Loud I Shout reads like a novel. It is an incredibly well written and compassionate view of the life of some of the country's forgotten "children". I really enjoyed it as well as "Baby ER" also by Mr. Humes.             Everyday Matters34 reviews Danny Gregory Princeton Architectural Press, 2003 loved it!! i loved it! i recived the book for valentines day and finished in a day...its very intresting to examine dannys drawing and learn about his life in nyc..             QED: The strange theory of light and matter (Alix G. Mautner memorial lectures)72 reviews Richard Phillips Feynman Princeton University Press, 1988 It takes a genius to make it simple Feynman picks the thing that is simplest in the quantum world, a single particle, and explains it using no math. Instead of equations, the quantum theory in this book consists entirely of pictures. But this is not a popularization in the usual sense. This is not gossip about science. This actually is quantum theory in a very simple case. For anyone who wants to know how the universe is put ...             Too Small to Ignore: Why the Least of These Matters Most23 reviews Wess Stafford WaterBrook Press, 2007 Don't Ignore This Book! I really like the format of this book. Stafford's own story of growing up as a missionary kid in Africa in Part One paints a nice backdrop for his passionate call to action in Part Two of the book. His philosophy is both biblically sound and personally motivating. I found myself with tears streaming down my face at more than one point during my reading. I think this book definitely belongs in the ...             No Matter What36 reviews Debi Gliori Harcourt Children's Books, 1999 Warm Story, family favorite We've had this book for a few years...my children (no 7 and 6) enjoyed this book during their preschool years. The illustrations are wonderful but most of all, the story sends a message of unconditional love. This booked really helped to solidify the message that no matter how much my children were misbehaving, I always loved them and no matter where I was, I always loved them. I highly ...             Life's Greatest Lessons: 20 Things That Matter25 reviews Hal Urban audible.com This book changed my life, my way of thinking and more. I know that phrase is used a lot, but I don't use it a lot. I can honestly say that about THIS book....and I read a lot of self-help books. Not because I'm "messed up", but because I LOVE to learn. If I can read a book that can help me be a better person, I will read it...and not just READ....I absorb it and put it into practice. This book did that for me. It even changed the relationship ...             Presentation Zen: Simple Ideas on Presentation Design and Delivery (Voices That Matter)62 reviews Garr Reynolds New Riders Press, 2008 true art of presentation Within half a day after receiving this book I included some of the principles it describes into my presentation.

This book covers so much, so well. Mr. Calder obviously not only has the knowledge but the motivation to really think about what should go into each area. He covers choosing, maintaining, upgrading, and cruising a boat to just the right degree that if you had no other ...             Radical Nature: Rediscovering the Soul of Matter22 reviews Christian De Quincey Invisible Cities Press, 2002 Radical Nature is radically enjoyable by H. Crowe When I read this book, I rushed over to Amazon and bought Christian de Quincey's other book Radical Knowing. I totally agree with his witty critique of "physics envy" . . . Consciousness is not a sub-atomic virtual energy field although, as he correctly points out, it is the experiencer of energy, of vibrations, of fields, and waves. His slogan "Consciousness knows. Energy flows" says it ...             When All You've Ever Wanted Isn't Enough: The Search for a Life That Matters19 reviews Harold Kushner Fireside, 2002 Classic Kushner is a sage and this book is a classic. As always Kushner's knits together wonderful stories, quotes, and historical observations that are always on the mark and move his thoughts forward. The disease that plagues our age is overconsumption and Kushner invites the reader to step away from the table of materialism and instead search out the things that really matter.             Common Grounds: Conversations About the Things That Matter Most17 reviews Ben Young, Glenn Lucke B&H Publishing Group, 2003 A Conversation Worth Reading It seems that "theological novels" are becoming increasingly popular. Of course English literature began with a theological novel in the form of Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress. In more recent years we have seen a series by Richard Belcher that has been quite popular in Reformed circles and Brian McLaren's somewhat notorious series, popular in Emerging Church circles, that began with A New Kind of ...             Love At Goon Park : Harry Harlow and the Science of Affection (Science Matters)20 reviews Deborah Blum, 2004 Fascinating Look at Harlow's Research This is one of the most interesting and well written books I've ever read on this or any similar topic. To anyone who studies or has studied attachment, Blum offers an amazing look at how this early research changed the face of psychology. To anyone who has read countless poorly written descriptions of boring research studies, this book is an oasis. I don't believe Blum has portrayed ...             Baby Matters, Revised 2nd Edition: What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Caring for Your Baby21 reviews Linda F. Palmer DC Baby Reference, 2007 MY PARENTING BIBLE! This has become my parenting bible.

It CURED his colic! My doctor once told me if I gave her the cure for colic, she'd be a millionaire and if I had a million ...             When Nothing Matters Anymore: A Survival Guide for Depressed Teens21 reviews R.N.,C. Bev Cobain Free Spirit Publishing, 1998 Helps teens take an active role in beating depression This book combines compassion and empowerment with accurate information.

The book covers both ...             Burning for Revenge (Tomorrow Series)19 reviews John Marsden Houghton Mifflin, 2000 Another excellent addition to an addictive series. The Tomorrow series of books by John Marsden got me through High School (as a lucky New Zealander, I have had the books since the 1990's). I awaited every new instalment with excitement and trepidation. `Burning for Revenge' was no exception and it delivered everything I was hoping for and more. `Burning for Revenge' is a nice return to the action, gunfire and explosive situations after a more ...             Slipping Into Darkness: My Survival in America's Most Violent Ghetto - A True Story22 reviews M.
