Customer Review:
Travel books should inspire readers to visit places or learn skills to
help them save money, time, and stress. Perhaps the least inspiring

from HarperCollins Publishers Ltd
Customer Review:

As a science teacher I'm constantly telling my students to get outside and get to doing something even just observing stuff around you. Not enough of this is done with video games, cell... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

from Audio Scholar
Customer Review:
With over 1,000 reviews on Amazon it is quite unlikely you will read anything different in my review than all the other five star reviews. I must say that Jared Diamond has written an extraordinary book. The question he tackles with GGS is, "Why and how did wealth and power develop in some areas and... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

from Listening Library
Price: $33.00
Customer Review:
A short, skinny boy with untidy hair and broken glasses and a scar on his forehead. A tall, gangly red-head with various hand-me-downs from his five older brothers. A bushy-haired girl who is absolutely book-smart, but also sometimes bossy and rash. It amazes me to this day that such a hugely... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

If you have his number, you'll call this author, John "Lofty" Wiseman.
If you don't, you better have this book.

from Farrar, Straus and Giroux
Price: $16.50
Customer Review:
True to its engaging title, which is why I wanted to read it, Roy Blount's Alphabet Juice is indeed full of examples of usage "foul and savory." I like it because I agree so often with what he says about misused and overused words like awesome, just, hopefully, literally, incredible--as well as... more info | 4.0 / 5.0
