.Pyramids!: 50 Hands-on Activities to Experience Ancient Egypt (Kaleidoscope Kids)

by: Avery Hart, Paul Mantell

August 01, 1997
My son is having an Ancient Egyptian birthday party. He has lots of books on Ancient Egypt and I have a degree in archaeology. Do we really need another book? I bought this one knowing it might just repeat what we already knew, but far from it! We have been so delighted with this book. Its manner is very friendly - a little earnest but not annoyingly so. It draws the child in (my son will be 10), offering a mixture of facts and activities and also moments for reflection, such as how cultures may differ but all have somthing positive to teach us. My son is currently making clay pyramids to put into his living, growing model of Ancient Egypt. At the party we plan for children to write their names in heiroglyphs - we have several heiroglyphic alphabets ... Read More:

.Brock Biology of Microorganisms

by: Michael T. Madigan, John M. Martinko, Paul V. Dunlap, David P. Clark, Thomas Brock

April 03, 2008
This book is great for Microbiology Undergraduates. The layout is perfect for studying and revising, and the information is presented in a clear manner. Doesn't put you to sleep like some other undergrad textbooks. You'll need other books for 2nd and 3rd year, but you will keep refering to this book even then. Overall, a very good textbook. Well worth the price.

.West Africa (Lonely Planet Country Guide)

by: Anthony Ham, James Bainbridge, Tim Bewer, Jean-Bernard Carillet, Paul Clammer, Michael Grosberg, Robert Landon, Katharina Lobeck, Matt Phillips

October 01, 2006
As usual the lonely planet West Africa is full of details, which enable a traveller to travel around West Africa, ranging from the best hotels in small towns to bus schedules. From the fertile coast to the sandy deserts it provides a good but brief overview of the nature, history and present sights. The only weak point is the limited amount of information on regional cultural differences or history, which is probably caused by the number of countries covered

.Shorter Oxford Textbook of Psychiatry (Oxford Textbook)

by: Michael Gelder, Philip Cowen, Paul Harrison

April 13, 2006
The authors have succeeded in writing a clear and up-to-date introductory textbook for the trainee psychiatrist, which would also be of interest to other doctors encountering patients with psychiatric problems on a daily basis. The text includes both DMV-IV and ICD-10 categories in its chapter by chapter guide to mental illnesses and their treatment. It also features several chapters on relevant topics such as ethics and the law. I personally found this textbook easy to read (if that's not a contradiction in terms) and a good starting point for more specialised study.

.Value Investing: From Graham to Buffett and Beyond (Wiley Finance Editions)

by: Bruce C. N. Greenwald, Judd Kahn, Paul D. Sonkin, Michael van Biema

February 17, 2004
I've read The Intelligent Investor as a starter into the world of investing and it is clear why this is considered the "Bible" of investing. But there was a problem for me: where do you find these undervalued businesses? And of course most undervalued businesses are low-priced for good reason.
So upon reading Value Investing I was happy to find that the authors also realised this dilemma and explained a valuation method that I found simple and sensible. As Buffet says: "It's better to be approximately right than exactly wrong." It's hard to predict the future with any investment, but I found this book was right on the money in terms of the underlying philosophy. It even shows how to...which I found refreshing.
For example, the authors explain ... Read More:
