Earth-Sheltered Houses: How to Build an Affordable...

Rob Roy

New Society Publishers, 2006

The best available guide I've found yet
An excellent reference for those who are interested in Earth Bermed and Earth Sheltered houses. His attention to detail in the excavation and foundation chapters is worth the price of the book alone. Especially when there is a lack of in depth internet resources ...

A Thread of Grace

Mary Doria Russell

Ballantine Books, 2005

An Inspiring Tale of Human Courage
As I have indicated in my many reviews of books from this period, I am a fan of tales of the human courage that was displayed throughout Europe in WW2 by ordinary people doing extraordinary things in the face of incredible danger. In as expert a fashion as Alan Furst ...

Business and Society: Ethics and Stakeholder Management (with InfoTrac®)

Archie B. Carroll, Ann K. Buchholtz

South-Western College Pub, 2005

Business & Society: Ethics and Stakeholder Management w/ infotrack review
This book was just what I needed. It helped me to pass the course I was taking and I received an A+. The book was a bit boring at times but all in all it had a lot of useful and great information!

The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

Carl Sagan, Ann Druyan

Ballantine Books, 1997

Changed my live and views! I love you Carl!
This one book helped me to reject 9 years worth of silly occult beliefs. I suppose I didn't 100% believe them, but they were things I wanted to believe. I knew that this book would change me and for awhile I was even nervous to read it, but a few months ago, my time ...

Les Misérables (Signet Classics)

Victor Hugo

Signet Classics, 1987

The Genius Without a Brain
Hugo is a man of contradictions: royalist and republican, chaste and amorous, defender and provocateur. It is sometimes difficult to pin down Hugo's politics, and the man paints with a broad brush, but one thing is certain: Victor Hugo is a creative genius of the ...

Patients Beyond Borders: Everybody's Guide to Affordable, World-Class Medical Travel (Patients Beyond ...

Josef Woodman

Healthy Travel Media, 2008

Western Healthcare Industry In Trouble?
I'm often shocked when my patients from the US or UK tell me how much they would have paid for the $400 customised tooth whitening kit I just did for them. Needless to say, charges for more complex procedures must be astronomical where these patients come from. Hence, ...

Cosmos

Carl Sagan

Ballantine Books, 1985

read what you can of it, but READ it!
This is an incredible book, even if it is dated. I am a words person, not numbers, so when Sagan got into a lot of equations and chemistry, I had to kind of skim over those parts. I never could have understood them, and if I'd tried to force myself to, I probably would ...

Choose Costa Rica for Retirement, 8th: Information for Travel, Retirement, Investment, and Affordable Living ...

John Howells

GPP Travel, 2006

Interesting, well written & up-to-date
I'll mention up front that this is the only book I've read on the subject of living in Costa Rica, but I can't imagine many being much better. I spent 10 weeks in Costa Rica (8 weeks in language immersion school, 4 days a week). Having two full weeks plus several ...

Frank Schmalleger

Prentice Hall, 2006

One of the Finest Texts on the Subject.
I just started teaching a new criminal justice survey course where this text is required for the students. After reading it I have to say it is one of the best course-books on the subject that I have read or taught from. Comprehensive at 750+ pages including many ...

Touchstone, 2000

Vivid, elemental, relentless

Vintage Sports Cards dba Dropship Solutions

Vintage Sports Cards dba Dropship Solutions

Comes with Dark City expansion!
The game is awesome; all great reviews are spot on. Just wanted to add that this game comes with the "Dark City" expansion, so that you don't need to buy it separately. It says this on the box, but it's too small to see from the product photo.
