I purchased this guide to help me select mystery books as gifts for Christmas, and what a help it was! Not only is it so simple to use, but it recommends the top authors in all the different kinds of mysteries, such as cozies, technothrillers, historicals, noir, etc. It also gives a lot of valuable information on mystery awards, organizations, and websites. Definitely worth the $30.00 I spent!

Enjoyed the broad range of names and multiple languages. Both informative and educational.

Though I've never been to Nantucket, this book absolutely makes me want to go, the next time I'm on the East Coast. In the meantime, I can flip through this gorgeous book and dream. The photography is alluring and recipes so inventive and interesting. Some of them seem a little cheffy, but for the most part they look easy enough to make for a summer dinner party. Plus, the profiles of the restaurantuers make me want to try their recipes! It makes a great gift.

This is a well-written and accessible book. The focus is not on technology per se, but on cognitive science and the philosophy of mind. Clark touches on a wide range of emerging technologies, but with the purpose of exploring how they will transform us. The picture on the cover might imply that these technologies would necessarily involve Borg-like implants, but Clark soon disabuses us of that notion through a number of arguments and entertaining examples (even including a magic trick). One of his arguments is that the way we (can) think depends on the tools we use, and the tools are becoming qualitatively different, both more closely coupled and adapted to us.

Having seen this book in its early form during Dr. Reynold's Naval History class in Spring 1997, I think the final is in great form. His explanation of navies through time shows even the novice historian the importance of the navy for any countries national defence. It is from this book that today's leaders might take note and learn again what the past has taught us about the importance of the navy to our postion as the world's police force. Both for the aged historian and the upstart college student this book is a must read for anyone with an interest in the navy and its vast history.

I saw this book at the home of an artist friend once. These portraits of East African women and their exquisitely painted homes are rare gems indeed. What I also appreciate about this work is that photographer Margaret Courtney-Clarke lavishes such attention and respect to the other cultural aspects of these beautiful people that she could be labeled a sociologist as well.

The publisher, Rizzoli, sows an appropriately generous amount of quality into this book; even the paper is noticeably superior.

My only question is, when will this magnificent work be made available again? I've had it on order at several stores for well over a year now!

I found this book and plan much easier to get in to than Dr Atkins. As a Brit, I like the no nonsense, no bragging approach to this diet. You don't have to go through all the pains, headeaches and strict regime of Atkins to still get great results! An excellent book .Also his carb counting book is great, as well as his cookbook.

I find this book very helpful in preparing for bible study and for the other teacher in Sunday school help them teach the lessons to the children.

This book is the best thing for kids since peanut butter and jelly sandwiches were invented. It is illustrated, amusing, and fun to read even for adults. It's a complete short course in how to think, and how not to be fooled. Its advice applies to evaluating advertising, pseudoscientic claims, and what your teachers tell you. Hey, kids! Grownups can be wrong! Kids are encouraged not to accept everything they hear at face value; it is empowering to kids to know that they can use their own "baloney detectors." BUY IT! For your children, your grandchildren, to donate to the nearest school or library, or to read for yourself.
