This book will save your life A life decoded, Craig Venter's autobiography.
An absolute must for anyone who wants to live life and not be lived by it:
About crossing the Sahara in west-east direction. I bought this book when I was in my early twenties and it is one of my most cherished reads. If you think it is just about crossing the Sahara, you're wrong. It is also about the fact that too many people allow their fears to stand between themselves and what they want.
Polywater by Felix Franks It's out of print at MIT Press and Amazon.com does not have it either. You may be able to find a used copy. Try meta-search engine Bookfinder or Amazon.com. Polywater was anomalously behaving water, discovered by a Russian chemist and then actively researched by the rest of the world. Polywater resembled ice-nine in Kurt Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle and could have been very dangerous. It did not exist. It was an artifact. But it could have been real. In any case, a lot of attention was paid to it in the 1960s and into the early 1970s. Perhaps the book Polywater is particularly enlightening to those who are not familiar with the topic. To non-scientists, it will shed some light on how academia works, and on the transition of the good old days when money and opportunities were plentiful to the days of "publish or perish". I don't have it, but I have read it.
I don't have this and I don't think I have read it, but I am interested in anything to do with Apple.
I don't have it and I haven't read it either, but it sounds interesting.
Inspiring and interesting. I have it.
I have this book, bought it in the US. This is the kind of house I want to build one day. I don't know where that will be yet. South or Central America, maybe. I also want to generate my own power. Other books Amazon.com has about this topic are: Serious Straw Bale: A Home Construction Guide for All Climates (Real Goods Solar Living Book) Building a Straw Bale House: The Red Feather Construction Handbook Building with Straw: Design and Technology of a Sustainable Architecture |
Very good and a must-read for anyone who works with people from different cultural backgrounds. I have it.
It is not just you who sees "friends" being replaced by "contacts" in this age of challenges and opportunities. I read it.
Should only be read with "The Lexus and the olive tree" (above). I read (most of) it.
Read it. It's very fascinating. I've got this one too.
Highly recommended if you do not already have it! I do. I have quite a few books to do with Feynman. I particularly recommend it if you're intimidated by math. Math is often taught as a master that must be blindly followed by slaves. That was not how Feynman saw math. He tinkered with it, even had his own symbols. Except if you are a mathematician, math is a tool - like a hammer - and it's ours to use it any way we like it. Even with a hammer, you can accidentally hit your thumb, but that does not mean that it is what hammers are for! The same goes for math. It serves us, not the other way around. That is not at all what this book is about - it is just a collection of funny stories - but it is something you may come away with.
This is a book everyone should read. It is a book about principles and focus, a book about ethics and direction. A book that will serve you a lifetime. I bought it a long time ago.
For women in that weird world called academia. I have it (but I got it too late).
Don't take the title of the book too literally, but you can start changing your life in seven days. If you want. It can also help those who are dealing with trauma; it can help you heal in subtle and amazing ways. Yes, I have it and I also gave it away to several friends and clients. |

The American version's cover does not look as scrumptious as its British counterpart,
which has 6 donuts on the front and a palm tree on the back, but it is a delight.
I didn't want this book to end. But it did. I have added it to my mental treasure chest. My goodie box.
I had not read a book as wonderful as this in a long time.
