Doug Moench, Jack S. Harris, ...

Moon Knight is the Best

We Must Be Gods: Two Lumps Year Two

Bernard M. Baruch: The Adventures of a Wall Street Legend (Trailblazers, Rediscovering the Pioneers of ...

James Grant

Wiley, 1997

Great Story
The story is fascinating and you can't help but like Baruch despite his ego. Grant does a nice job although more because he was truly interested in the man rather than because he's a great biographer.

Diagnostic Imaging: Pediatric Neuroradiology

A. James Barkovich, Kevin R. Moore, ...

AMIRSYS, 2007

Not enough text!
The problem with this new series of books is that they contain only lists of differential diagnoses and do not contain the text which usually places the pathology within the clinical context. I guess it is the way the want to write textbooks now but it is very ...

Surprisingly engrossing... worth every penny

Velma Wallis

Epicenter Press, 2002

Sad, but true.....
This story reminded me of my own growing-up years, not in Alaska, but on a reservation, nevertheless. It is a powerful book and reminds me of the strength our people have to survive, despite the odds, and interference of another culture. Velma, thanks for sharing in ...
