The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy

I was intrigued by this book after hearing the authors in an interview on the BBC World Service radio station in which, among other things, they recounted how the lobby had come after them after they published the article that became the basis for this book in the London Review of Books.
The book is written in a cool, rational style and persuades through carefully accumulated evidence and w read more..

The Candy Bombers: The Untold Story of the Berlin Airlift and America's Finest H

I am a Korean War veteran and somewhat of a history buff, especially during the period leading up to and including the aftermath of World War II. I cannot praise this book enough. Andrei Cherney has written the absolutely best description I have read of the events and people that resulted in the Berlin Airlift and how close we came to World War III at that time. Of special interest to me is the read more..

Where We Stand: Class Matters

I finally decided to come to terms with how class affects the decisions I make and that people make on my behalf. bell hooks is a rigorous thinker who questions assumptions,especially her own. I liked the blend of experience and academic evidence she uses in the essays. Thinking about class raises a lot of emotion, especially shame, and having an intellectual basis for processing it helps. An e read more..

Examkrackers MCAT Audio Osmosis with Jordan and Jon (Examkrackers)

This product is comprehensive and well organized, and I believe one of the better audio MCAT reviews out there. In some of the reviews people have complained that the jokes and sound effects are distracting--I have a thought about this: The lack of monotony and homogeneity of the recordings keeps the listener interested. Other programs are easy to "tune out" after a short while. This program k read more..

The Year of Living Biblically: One Man's Humble Quest to Follow the Bible as Lit

Mr. Jacobs, thank you.

"The Year" is in many ways ordinary. (funny, witty, well orginized, methodical, etc.) The pages show a focus on quality and context. Honesty is prevelent throughout the work.

What is the book about? It is a journey. Thanksfully the author has recorded the details for all to read.

Honestly, I picked it up wanting answers. I bec read more..

Masked by Moonlight (Steeple Hill Love Inspired Historical #9)

This is a wonderfully written story, one you won't want to put down. This was my first read by this author and I can't wait to read her next book, Bluegrass Hero. If Allie does come out with another book to continue, Masked by Moonlight, I will definitely pick it up.

I was a little hesitant to read this book, not seeming as something that would interest me...but boy was I wrong. read more..

The Ice Man: Confessions of a Mafia Contract Killer

It's completely believable. (did someone say it isn't totally believable?) It was the first experience I'd had reading any first-hand telling by someone as he in his teens kills his worst bully. His cold disposing of that body and getting away with it. Horrific. But what was meaner than his own father? The ice-man was hit, bashed for reasons that weren't clear to him at the moments his father came read more..

Law and the Long War: The Future of Justice in the Age of Terror

Benjamin Wittes, a former editorial writer for the Washington Post, has written the indispensable book on reforming US policy on detainees at Guantanamo.

It is a vast network of "prayer cells" of read more..

Specials (Uglies)

The Rape of Europa: The Fate of Europe's Treasures in the Third Reich and the Se

The Rape of Europa is an eye-opening book. Nicholas has done a tremendous amount of research that reveals the almost unimaginable extent of Nazi art looting during World War II.

The Rainbow Fish

Look people. We as adults would take offense to this book had it been written for US. But this book is for babies and toddlers. The sparkle fish scales are to get a babies attention and the whole moral to the story is for toddlers.

Adventures Beyond the Body: How to Experience Out-of-Body Travel

I wasn't entirely interested in astral projection until I happened by this book. The author's accounts of his OBE journeys had my mind racing with all the possibilities available to me. The main draw for me wasn't so much the techniques that were listed (although this book had good techniques for acheiving an OBE, there are books out there that deal more specifically with this topic) but rather th read more..

The Giving Tree

There are not many books for this age group that the parent gets more out if it than the child.

The Giving tree is an great story that is hard for young ones to comprehend the first time through, but still fun to hear. As you read it over and over to them will understand and appreciate it more.

This has many similarities to stories like Dr. Suess' "The Lorax"

More Sex Is Safer Sex: The Unconventional Wisdom of Economics

What an incredible, thought provoking book! There's a common complaint in to reviews that it's not like Freakonomics. Can I just say, Fantastic! The funniest thing about reviews suggesting that this book is trying to "Cash-in on Freakonomics" is the fact that Landsburg published The Armchair Economist in 1993, one of the first books of the genre that Levitt would capitalize on 12 years later. read more..

The Dirt: Confessions of the World's Most Notorious Rock Band

I am a die hard Motley Crue and Nikki Sixx fan so anything pertaining to either one I'm gonna love.. This book was awesome! I learned so much about the Band and each member that was a part of it including John Carobi who took over vocals when Vince Neil quit/or was fired from the Crue. It's honest & raw and I loved it. You get a taste of where how it all started and came together. They were so read more..
