.My Boys Can Swim!: The Official Guy's Guide to Pregnancy
City Travel Guides > Books > Science
by: Ian Davis

September 22, 1999
The book was a great first read for men. it was entertaining, well written, and in general a great informational book. It did, however, lack all the medical explanations and details. The author tells you that is not the purpose of this book, so it is not misleading in anyway. I would definitely suggest it for a new dad, but I would pair it with a more detailed look at pregnancy. Enjoy!

.Iconoclast: A Neuroscientist Reveals How to Think Differently
City Travel Guides > Books > Science
by: Gregory Berns

September 29, 2008

Iconoclast in the case of the book means One who attacks cherished beliefs. I think most entrepreneurs are good at this. They challenge the known and think creatively.

The following is a summary of Iconoclast from Oct 2008 Fast Company which I think touches most of the salient points:

-- The brain is fundamentally a lazy piece of meat. It doesn't want to waste energy.

-- In order to think creatively, you must develop new neural pathways and break out of the cycle of experience - dependant categorization. As Mark Twain said, "Education consists mainly in what we have unlearned." For most people, this does not come naturally. Often, the harder you think differently, the more rigid the categories become. ... Read More:

.Disrupting Class: How Disruptive Innovation Will Change the Way the World Learns
City Travel Guides > Books > Science
by: Clayton M. Christensen, Curtis W. Johnson, Michael B. Horn

May 14, 2008
Christensen approaches improving the education system from the broad lens of innovation, rather than focusing solely on examining the school system itself. The result: a powerful perspective on how disruptive innovation outside the mainstream curriculum can ultimately transform the techniques and results of the public school system in general.

Disrupting Class outlines a thorough argument for how to dramatically improve the U.S. educational system including:

* The shortcomings of previous approaches to improving education, and therefore what needs to be different in the future

* The importance of adapting teaching techniques to different learning styles (building on previous work Gardner and others); I can particularly ... Read More:

.Passionate Marriage: Keeping Love and Intimacy Alive in Committed Relationships
City Travel Guides > Books > Science
by: David Schnarch

May 15, 1998
I went over the hell of pain reading this book. I made skyscraper of realizations, and so far made only couple of floors of improvements. I am still in 'five steps forward, four steps back' motion while working on myself. But this lifechanging book... I would recommend it to anyone - married or single, it does not matter. It also does not matter where your lack of integrity pops up - be it work, social life, friendship or marriage. It will pop up everywhere and is rooted in the same causes pointed out in book.

Instead of being purely behavioral guide, like most books are, this book, with reader's will, can help mobilize what is best in them, not just follow checkbox guide. English is my 3rd language, and book is much more difficult to read than say, 'Seven Principles' ... Read More:

City Travel Guides > Books > Science
by: Jorge Cervantes

February 01, 2006
I love this book. I was very surprised this book is so in depth and awesome. I have grown before, but there is info that I never imagined that would be in a Marijuana horticulture book. It's perfect for anyone. VERY New grower friendly, It's great knowledge for the people getting into growing, and it's great for the experienced growers too: this is a great book to learn more from. There is even a section on how to make Hash! I highly recommend this book, awesome info, packed with awesome helpful pictures, and all I could hope for in a Marijuana horticulture book. ^.^
