Wolever, ... Da Capo Press, 2006 Finally, a non-diet diet that works for vegetarians! Let me preface the following by stating that I've never been a "dieter", I've always just tried to eat as healthy as I can. And, as a life-long vegetarian I'd never really been able to participate in most fad-diets anyway (I need my carbs!). But, I'd noticed over the past year that even though I work out pretty consistently, my metabolism was changing and I had dramatic drops in blood sugar that ...             The Radicalism of the American Revolution49 reviews Gordon S. Wood Vintage, 1993 A seminal work It seems the trend among historians is to diminsh the importance of the American Revolution by describing it as a tax revolt unleased, or worse yet, as not a true revolution at all. Gordon S. Wood's book describes in eloquent depth the true radicalism of the American Revolution. He describes the complete political, social, and philosophical restructuring of a society, in a clear, readable, and ...             The Necessary Revolution: How Individuals And Organizations Are Working Together to Create a Sustainable World6 reviews Peter M. Senge, Bryan Smith, ... Doubleday Business, 2008 An important contribution to sustainability strategies This is one of the most interesting and important contributions of 2008 to the vital area of sustainability thinking. MIT's Peter Senge is well known for deep analysis of organizational effectiveness (that can be challenging to read). He applies the same "systems thinking" found in his best-selling book, "The Fifth Discipline", to the multi-dimensional problem of unsustainable industrialization ...             The Revolution: A Manifesto649 reviews Ron Paul Grand Central Publishing, 2008 How is this man not our President? You know that feeling you get right before a big election? The total and complete indifference that is akin to having tea or coffee with your meal perhaps? The apathy that I was once accustomed to experience when the conversation turned towards politics has since been replaced with a burning and intense passion and desire for real change. As we all know far too well that nothing of substance ...             The Structure of Scientific Revolutions117 reviews Thomas S. Kuhn University Of Chicago Press, 1996 Not Just for Those Interested in Science Essential reading in understanding why the Enlightenment ideal of rationality is dead or at least doesn't count in ways that matter.

I simply want to say that you should not rely on the reviews to form your opinion of this book. I have repeatedly recommended this book to my friends, Christian or not, and whether they liked it, or agreed with it etc, it made them think, it created dialog. For those reasons alone I ...             The Russian Revolution8 reviews Sheila Fitzpatrick Oxford University Press, USA, 2008 The Russian Revolution did not end in 1920. Fitzpatrick's short book about the Russian Revolution is so concise one has to wonder if she skimped on the facts. This is not the case. Anybody reading the book can only remark that thickness is not indicative of weight. All one needs to know about the Russian Revolution is in this slim volume. Fitzpatrick's main contention is that the Russian Revolution did not end in 1920, but rather in the ...             Six Disciplines® Execution Revolution: Solving the One Business Problem That Makes Solving All Other Problems ...10 reviews Gary Harpst Six Disciplines Publishing, 2008 Planning and Execution While the ultimate message put forth in this book is about executing your plans and how to go about that, it is very much based on what needs to be done first - and that is Planning, Goal-Setting.

This book does not pretend to give a chronological narrative of who did what when in the making of modern science. There are many books that do that job. Instead, Shapin is interested in what difference the Scientific Revolution made to how people at the time, and how we, think about the natural world. The major changes may have ...             The Hamster Revolution: How to Manage Your Email Before It Manages You (Bk Business)24 reviews Mike Song, Vicki Halsey, ...
