| 2. | ![The World Is Flat [Updated and Expanded]: A Brief History of the Twenty-first Century](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/410FGAGYGPL._SL160_.jpg) | The World Is Flat [Updated and Expanded]: A Brief History of the Twenty-first Century from Farrar, Straus and Giroux Price: $21.60 Customer Review:  A transparent attempt to justify the new colonialism. In the 16th century it was the great nations of Europe, in the 21st it is the multinational corporation. It is still exploitation of the haves by the have-nots, just a lot of new lipstick on the same old pig! |

| 5. |  | The Drunkard's Walk: How Randomness Rules Our Lives from Pantheon Price: $16.47 Customer Review:  XXXXX "I have tried in this book to present the basic concepts of randomness, to illustrate how they apply to human affairs, and to present my views that its effects are largely overlooked in our interpretations of events and in our expectations and decisions. It may come as an epiphany merely... |

| 6. |  | Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies from W. W. Norton Price: $16.47 Customer Review: With over 1,000 reviews on Amazon it is quite unlikely you will read anything different in my review than all the other five star reviews. I must say that Jared Diamond has written an extraordinary book. The question he tackles with GGS is, "Why and how did wealth and power develop in some areas and... |

| 10. |  | Biology with MasteringBiology™ (8th Edition) (MasteringBiology Series) from Benjamin Cummings Price: $136.73 Customer Review: This book is typical for a college text. It is full of information pertaining to introductions to biology. My only complaint is that it only has information rather than explaining how it determines the information. |

| 11. |  | The Superorganism: The Beauty, Elegance, and Strangeness of Insect Societies from W.W. Norton & Co. Price: $34.65 Customer Review: This is a fascinating book, but one that could be improved. However, the positive (FOR, below) much outweighs the negative (AGAINST, below). FOR: This book is full of interesting material, most of which is well explained. It follows how eusocial insects construct complex insect societies that... |

| 13. | [no image] | Collapse from Penguin Highbridge (Aud) Customer Review: Human history is full of tantalizing riddles. Some of the most fascinating of these arise from the appearance of ancient ruins in unlikely places, such as Easter Island, or the dense jungles of the Yucatan Peninsula. To the uninitiated, these ruins are the ghosts of phantom civilizations whose... |

| 16. |  | Physics of the Impossible: A Scientific Exploration into the World of Phasers, Force Fields, Teleportation, and Time Travel from Doubleday Price: $17.79 Customer Review: Do not listen to the naysayers. Most of the negative comments by above reviewers seem to come from those physics elitists who may (or may not) already know a lot about the discipline. But for those who either don't care or weren't paying attention Dr. Kaku has dedicated a lot just trying to get... |

| 17. |  | Brain Rules: 12 Principles for Surviving and Thriving at Work, Home, and School (Book & DVD) from Pear Press Price: $19.77 Customer Review: The author uses a lot of narratives and has them spaced to keep my attention. A few actually seem gratuitous because I didn't exactly see their point - yet, even though I recognized this fact, I was struck that the narratives still have the intended effect of giving my brain regular mode shifts that... |

| 18. |  | The Selfish Gene: 30th Anniversary Edition--with a new Introduction by the Author from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $13.59 Customer Review: This book puts the body of knowledge in evolutionary biology in the right perspective. Because we are macro beings, because we in this society live and deal at organism level, so we tend to believe that everything revolves around this level. What this book does is to encourage you to think form the... |

| 21. |  | Your Inner Fish: A Journey into the 3.5-Billion-Year History of the Human Body (Vintage) from Vintage Price: $9.86 Customer Review: As assigned reading for a book club, Your Inner Fish became for me a page-turning, fascinating read with enough described real-life excitement to generate my own mind-expeditions through the Arctic, voyages to the cliffs of Nova Scotia, and tedious hours in labs carefully excavating fragile fossil... |

| 22. |  | Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things from North Point Press Price: $18.15 Customer Review: The only pleasant thing I found about this book: I didn't pay for it. As a concerned but casual environmentalist, I borrowed this one from the library and am very glad I did. I was expecting a landmark book about upcycling and the methodology by which industry might design products that can be fully... |

| 23. |  | How Doctors Think from Tantor Media Price: $24.99 Customer Review: It's interesting to know that the number one reason people go to an Emergency room is for Abdominal pain; not Chest Pain - which is a complex complaint for any doctor or nurse to deal with. Every doctor is known to make mistakes; it's a fact of science and nature. Sometimes when working full-time... |

| 24. |  | The Botany of Desire: A Plant's-Eye View of the World from Random House Trade Paperbacks Price: $10.20 Customer Review: It is a rare science book that evokes such an emotional response in me. "Beak of the Finch" by Jonathan Weiner is one, and "The Botany of Desire" is another. Pollan's discussion of four archetypal plants (apple, tulip, marijuana and potato) and our shared history with them makes for some wonderfully... |

Although it wasn't one of my areas of specialization, I did some work on the history of science while in grad school and I even had a job transcribing the lectures of a prominent philosopher of the history of science. To supplement this I... |

Saunders Company Customer Review: This book is one of the best reads of all of my school books, simply because Lehne doesn't try to sound hyper-intelligent to impress. He keeps it simple, and interesting, and that definitely gives one the desire to continue reading. I have learned so much from this book already. One of my favorite... |
