Antonio

Antonio Prohias

Watson-Guptill, 2001

Great bedtime read
I am almost finished with the second casebook. I used to play the original Commodore 64 game and Nintendo game as a little girl and found myself looking for the spy vs spy games, catoons, and comics again. There's nothing like the creativity and originality of these ...

Mastering Mixed Martial Arts: The Guard

Antonio Nogueira, Erich Krauss, ...

Victory Belt Publishing, 2008

Great book on the guard, from the master of the guard
The first thing I have to say is that this is not a no-gi book. This is not a book of random moves and submissions from the guard. This is the exact guard system developed by Minotauro Nogueira (Big Nog) that he uses to compete in MMA. It's not a bunch of moves he ...

Descartes' Error: Emotion, Reason, and the Human Brain

Antonio Damasio

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2005

Wonderful Intro to Cognitive Neuroscience.
This book served as my introduction to the world of cognitive neuroscience. Written in a hybrid story-explanation form unique to Damasio, this book shows how much is known about how our mind operates and how we know it. As indicated in the title, it also describes a ...

The Feeling of What Happens: Body and Emotion in the Making of Consciousness

Antonio Damasio

Harvest Books, 2000

A seminal work
I very seldom come across a book that is so groundbreaking in its content as to make me determined to fully understand what the author is trying to convey (even if it means rereading it three times!) Damasio's The Feeling of What Happens is an astonishing achievement ...

The Velveteen Rabbit

Margery Williams

HCI, 2005

A 'real' children's story
The rabbit, feeling a bit out of place and a bit unworthy, nonetheless yearned to be loved, not for what he could be or should have been, but rather for what he truly was. What child (or adult, for that matter) can't find meaning here? Children yearn for love and ...

Birds of Peru (Princeton Field Guides)

Thomas S. Schulenberg, Douglas F. Stotz, ...

Princeton University Press, 2007

very good, excellent!
It is a very good book, because I served as stew for my field research bird as an ornithologist, I wholeheartedly recommend this guide for all fans of the birds as well as those q working with birds.

Selections from the Prison Notebooks

Antonio Gramsci

International Publishers Co, 2008

One of the century's most important political works
Gramsci's Prison Notebooks marks one of the nodal points of Western Marxism's break with Leninism and the breed of marxism born of the Bolshevik Revolution. Exploratory and incomplete, the insights contained in this volume marked a turning point in marxist thinking, ...

Absolutely Epic
General Summary In Empire political theorists Hardt and Negri describe a new form of global sovereignty called Empire. Unlike the modernist era which privileged the nation-state as the primary site of social organization and command, Empire is distinctly ...

60 Hikes Within 60 Miles: San Antonio and Austin: Includes the Hill Country

Tom Taylor, Johnny Molloy

Menasha Ridge Press, 2007

More Austin than San Antonio
Excellent book, very descriptive but there are more Austin trails than SA trails. Some of the trails in this book have become our faves and we would never have found them without the book.

Looking for Spinoza: Joy, Sorrow, and the Feeling Brain

Antonio Damasio

Mariner Books, 2003

looking for spinoza
This is the first book, in my experience, which seriously discusses the mental states like emotion,feeling,mind, consciousness and self in relation to neuro science. It is very enjoyable to read. Damasio puts the arguements in favour and against very clearly. Thoughts ...

The Magic Thief

Sarah Prineas

HarperCollins, 2008

Blows Harry Potter out of the water!!
This is the kind of writing I expected when I finally got around to reading Harry Potter (which, to me, was extremely disappointing after all the hooplah - very predictable and full of cliches). This writer (of Magic Thief) is amazing! She has an unusual grasp of ...

Expert F# (Expert's Voice in .Net)

Don Syme, Adam Granicz, ...

Apress, 2007

Good book!
It's definitely a good book. I've read a few sections in it and have been impressed with what I've seen. The book is targeted toward specific implementations of F# in various settings. I like that but think other people won't. The techniques described are quite ...
