This book changed the way I looked into the conception of cities. The command of urban spaces, with beatiful examples through history, put me to new design of cities or to renew existing city centers including new perspectives for the citizen or people that just pass by.

Banfield a Newspaper man and his wife escape conventional lifestyle and settle Beautiful Dunk Island off the north Queensland coast (Australia). This is a book for those who work and live in the urban jungle, It leads the imagination to delight in the simple and uncomplicated existence we all at times long for, but haven't the time to discover. Their abode (Dunk Island) is now a millionaire's playground. However, the cottage and surrounds that Banfield established are preserved as part of a National Park. This book is a good read. I am sure all that read it will be tempted to visit the area it portrays. I know I did. It was and is a wonderful tropical paradise.

This book would more correctly be described as a book on analysis, because of the completeness of its proofs. It assumes you know just arithmetic of natural numbers, integers, rational, real and complex numbers-that is to say, just how to sum, multiply, subtract and divide. Edmund Landau wrote a masterpiece, because nothing is left without proof. You will not find a single step missing. From arithmetic to all the concepts of calculus, like differentiation, integration, infinite series and sequences, this book contains the mathematics that most mathematicians should know presented in a perfect way. It is not easy reading, though. Landau strives to reach the perfect axiomatic presentation, so like Euclid's "Elements" the book is the clear and beautiful presentation of a doctrine. I dare say that no book in analysis approaches Euclid's ideal of presentation better than Landau's, never in the past and never in the future. What you will find in this book is, in its best appearance, truth, that will not change even in a thousand years.

This book is unusual. Containing 17 essays by different authors, it is not focused entirely on the aspects of death and religion.
Instead it includes personal view points and experiences that provide multidimensional pictures of death, dying, faith, and humanity. This is not a technical manual or a religious manual. It is a very interesting helpful book that includes personal feelings and experiences to help clarify the topics presented.

Disarming Matter does just that, in an elegant and befuddling manner. This book is a joy to get tweaked on. It is full of unexpected leaps of gorgeous weirdness. A true antidote to the stale nature of pop literature, and especially pop poetry. Take this book on a picnic to the park, to the zoo, to the cannery, to the dahlia garden- and watch it bloom in comparison!

This audio tape is essential in combating fear of driving far from home. It focuses on relaxation, desensitization, and visualization techniques. I found this tape to be extremely helpful in helping me to drive again without fear. I was driving by myself the second day I used it.

This book is not only about gravestone rubbings, but also the early stonecarvers who had the skills to decorate these gravestones. I have repeatedly taken it out of my art school's library because I am fascinated with the different carvings on the gravestones. These rubbings of the carvings include faces of angels, portraits of the deceased, urns, willow trees, and other decorative motifs. It may seem morbid to enjoy such a book, yet I find it completely fascinating book!

Nearly all of the shorter philosophical works, published or unpublished, that Husserl produced on the way to the phenomenological breakthrough recorded in his Logical Investigations of 1900-1901. Here one sees Husserl's method emerging step by step, and such crucial substantive conclusions as that concerning the nature of Ideal entities and the status the intentional `relation' and its `objects'. Husserl's literary encounters with many of the leading thinkers of his day illuminates both the context and the content of his thought. Many of the groundbreaking analyses provided in these texts were never again to be given the thorough expositions found in these early writings. Early Writings in the Philosophy of Logic and Mathematics is essential reading for students of Husserl and all those who enquire into the nature of mathematical and logical knowledge.
