| 1. |  | The Soul of a New Machine (Modern Library)
from Modern Library
Price: $17.12
Customer Review:
Although Tracy Kidder's Pulitzer Prize winner, The Soul Of A New Machine, was written 28 years ago, it has withstood the test of time.

| 3. | ![]() | The Turning.(Book Review): An article from: Reviewer's Bookwatch
from Midwest Book Review
Price: $5.95
Customer Review:
I had heard a lot about this writer and this was my first foray into his work. I was immediately struck by the 'Australianness' of Winton's voice -that peculiar empty and isolated feeling, which brought to mind images and memories of my childhood in a very vivid way. The story-telling was compelling... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

| 4. |  | The Intellectual Foundation of Information Organization (Digital Libraries and Electronic Publishing)
from The MIT Press
Price: $36.80
Customer Review:
The author certainly has a sophisticated vocabulary. However, it's unfortunate that the vocabulary often upstages the content or the attempt to convey meaningful content. The writing style could have been more clear. It's not necessary to construct convoluted sentences to appear academic. I am not... more info | 3.5 / 5.0

This book answered all my question about PSK31 which is why I bought it. In fact it covered other ways to use my radio and computer that I did not know about. Very easy reading. | 4.0 / 5.0

Price: $52.15
Customer Review:
In Understanding Digital Libraries, Michael Lesk explains a new method of distribution and preservation in a dry, informative, even-handed and almost academic fashion. His book, while unlikely to capture the imagination of the average layperson, is a reasonably successful textbook, which might be of... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

FINAL REVIEW 22 June 2008
This is not a technical book, it focuses more on the socio-political aspects of how knowledge is communicated among scholars. While it addresses fraud, it does not address the ideological war against science, high crimes and misdemeanors including deliberate lies to... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

Price: $49.50
Customer Review:
I am adding this book to my list of excessively expensive books. I only list those books I would havb bought had the price been reasonable. It cost the publisher less than $5.00 to print this book. Amazon pays 45% of the retail price, so call it a $25 return. That is too much and completely contrary... more info | 3.0 / 5.0
