Struggle for freedom
This was one of my favourite books when I was arround 15 years old. Selena Menard, daughter of the famous doctor who invented the cloning process, atempts to help the clones regain their lost freedom. Clones are owned by a company, known as Komsol, and are engineered into being the CPU of enormous computers that handdle all the informaion necesary to run a planet. Few of the clones are aware they are really humans. This novel takes the reader through Sven Soronson's trip from being enslaved in a computer to achieving life as a "human being". Along the way, a few new things are discovered about clones, maybe they are not as human as they seem ...

Lief writes in a simple straight forward style, similar to Asimov. The novel is layed out as the "foundation trilogy". Humans scattered in a wide galaxy, inhabiting a few planets, but with the will to take over it all. This book is specially good as an introduction to Science Fiction for kids 14 and up.

The infancy of psychology
This is a great book. I think it increased my IQ by twenty points.

Freud made a mistake of category, psychology is not biomedical.

This book understands that.

Great book for kids who like racing
My daughter loves this book. She is three and we read it all the time. She is learning about racing and enjoys it alot. We even met Kyle Petty and he signed our copy. He calls it "Austin's book" If you like racing and are a Petty fan it is a good book for your collection. I had a very hard time finding it!

Get to know the other side of Einstein!
This is a beautiful and touching book. The letters from children are printed exactly as they are written, spelling errors and all--some letters are even printed in their handwritten form. It is amazing how insightful some of the questions from the children are. Einstein's responses are written on the level of the original letter-writer, and are always well thought-out. I'm a big Einstein fan, and this was a gift that I greatly enjoyed. There were also some very interesting pictures of Einstein included in this book.
