I highly recommend this audio book to those wanting to understand the emerging science of complex adaptive systems. It is more than the best of a good series on the history of science. I especially enjoyed the discussion what the acceptance complex adaptive systems as a legitimate area of scientific inquiry means to our concept of science and to scientific methodology. Over the years I've given away at least half a dozen of these tapes to philosophers, scientists, and educated laymen. Without exception, they have been impressed with its quality and clarity.

This is a very enjoyable book. The pictures of all the gardens are lovely and very inspiring. I found many useful ideas to use around my own home in "outdoor" decorating. The text is informative, giving specific information relating to the pictured plants as well as items used in and around the garden. I was very pleased with my purchase of this book.

The book's clear instructions and color photographs are excellent. However, procedures used are extremely time-consuming and require a lot of hands-on work. Basically, they're industrial techniques adapted for home use. Entirely different from making cold process bar soaps. Even for experienced hot process soap makers, at least 3-4 hours are needed to complete the initial phase. In the recipes, you have to be comfortable with using solvents and thickeners. Neutralizing and sequestering agents too. pH control and preservatives can be significant issues as well. Aside from that, you won't find a better consumer-level book on this interesting subject. GREAT book!

This is exactly what you'd expect. You've got a couple of letters and need an answer, they're all here. Granted, that's a bit to look through, but desperate times and all that. I found this book particularly good for crossword construction, if you're into that sort of thing.

"An excellent review of complex and actively debated topic."

I love the opening setup for the story, and it just gets better,LT Joe Dante at his best I got the hardback edition, and it would be great to see more books in this series.

Dear Bruno is an incredibly candid and honest compilation of letters that only one cancer survivor can convey to another. Despite all the medical staff in the world who may pretend to know about tests, procedures, and illness...no one can really understand without walking in their shoes. This book is for all of us who need to remember to appreciate and look forward to the wonderfully trivial things in life, while we have been given this gift called the present.

I used this book as my "bible" when writing my undergrduate honors thesis. The theories Newman sets forth in this book are genius and timeless. IF you're interested in public housing and the effects of the architecture on its inhabitants PLEASE do yourself a favor and get a copy of this wonderful book. Every architect and planner should read this book regardless of what they design as these guidelines will improve any building built or any city planned.

In this volume four of the most important short sub-New Testament documents are collected together in a scholarly translation with copius notes. Of these, two (The Didache, and the Episle of Barnabas) were seriously considered by some of the Church Fathers to be on a par with the New Testament. In fact, The Didache may well have been written BEFORE some of the Canonical New Testament. In the "Fragments" we see probably the earliest testimony concerning the Apostolic origins of the Synoptic Gospels.

No scholar or student of the Early Church should be without many volumes of the Ancient Christian Writers series. Of this series, this is one of the most important titles.

Long out of print, this book has never been surpassed as "the complete Rivera." This volume illustrates Diego Rivera's life and work, from his early years at the Mexican Academy of San Carlos and studies in Spain; his subsequent eleven-year sojourn in Paris in the first part of this century; to his efforts to establish a truly national Mexican style in the murals for which he is most famous. Illustrations of Rivera's work are accompanied by essays by noted scholars who reevaluate his place in the history of modern art.
