Space Vehicle Design (Aiaa Education Series)

The Renovare Spiritual Formation Bible (Protestant Edition)

Inc. Renovare, Richard J. Foster, ...

Harper San Francisco, 2006

What a pleaure
Having this provides one with a fine translation and solid opportunity for interpretation and application. I was leary about the last part, since often that can be sappy. Not so here. Selecting a Bible is hard. I have decided that for me, a hard bound book is ...

The People's Act of Love

James Meek

Recorded Books, 2005

One of a kind
Meek's style has a lot in common with Chekov's--simple, brisk and always on its toes. He too has the uncanny talent for creating brutally realistic characters moreso through perfect pitch and timing rather than straight description. He has a similar absurdist humor ...

Textbook of Endocrine Physiology (TEXTBOOK OF ENDOCRINE PHYSIOLOGY (GRIFFIN)(CLOTH))

Oxford University Press, USA, 2004

Better for those starting out.
This book is excellent for anyone interested in the basics of endocrine physiology - unfortunately it fails to go into sufficient depth for anyone trained to at least an undergraduate level knowledge of physiology. Some sections are reasonably detailed, but the ...
