Jon Meacham
Random House, 2008
Very Interesting
+ The first "peoples president"
My review is for those people who are not history buffs like me, but maybe fit into the category of someone like me. Having no real background in either history or biographies, I decided to visit the Pulitzer Prize website to learn about the winners inside the Biography section. That is where I ...

Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus (Routledge Classics)42 reviews
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Routledge, 2001
This is the ONLY worthy review
+ A must read even if you are not into philosophy of language.
+ Not for the average reader but thorough, if not at times tedious, in acomplishing its task...
The Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus is a riddle that only makes sense whence you understand it. He makes this point clear, saying that the Tractatus consists in two works, that which he has written and that which he obviously did not write. And that if one person read the book with understanding, ...

Climate is a very complex topic. An Inconvenient Truth is a good beginning on the topic of climate change. The scientific data (basic) is presented in a way that viewers that are not scientist can grasp. Great for kids and everyone else too. I actually saw this very early on. I bought the DVD to ...

Glen Gould, Bach Toccatas vo. 1 - 70th Anniversary Edition3 reviews
Glenn Gould, Bach
Sony, 2002
Excellent playing
+ Your mileage may vary
In response to the last reviewer's concerns about the piano's sound in this recording, the dry, sharp sound has always been Gould's intention--it's as present in all of his recordings as is his singing. "An x-ray of the music," was how he put it, and in order to achieve that trademark clarity, ...
