Visions
Publisher: New Page Books
ISBN: 978-1-60163-129-9
Visions of the Multiverse is a very readable introduction to some very strange concepts in physics. Its advantage is that it’s short and requires no math expertise from the lay reader, even though much of it is really about mathematics. However, it does require you to think about things. Its disadvantage is that it’s short and requires no math expertise—in other words, you may arrive at the end somewhat dissatisfied by your lack of understanding of these topics. If that’s the case, bless your soul, there are more meaty tomes (also with little or no mathematics) that expand on the ideas contained in this book.

Periscope® Book Light
As a prolific book reviewer and one whose sight is not exactly perfect, especially when I am reading in a dark room, the Periscope® Book Light is just what the doctor ordered. Over the years I tried all kinds of gadgets and very often these were usually relegated to the trash can. Was this going to happen to the Persicope® Book Light?

Ansari had my attention from the very first page. Knife on Skin at 7:30 is true accounting of the life as a surgeon -- with a taste of the afterlife thrown in. I found this author’s first novel extremely entertaining and educational.

I found myself at a quandary when reading Paul Damien’s Help!: Debunking the Outrageous Claims of Self-help Gurus. First of all, I wanted to be totally open to what Paul Damien had to say. I have read numerous books on The Secret and the Law of Attraction in the past few years and let me say beforehand that I have read books from the “gurus” and from those who took looks into the industry, movement, or whatever other label might fit it. And I must say that although Paul Damien’s book might not have been the first to lambaste these gurus, it was the first book that I had the opportunity to read through and through.

In this comprehensive overview of the development of Hollywood (particularly between 1917-1941), author Brett Abrams demonstrates how those who crossed the boundaries of the society’s sexual norms had a unique role to play in creating the image we have today of Tinseltown. Today most people’s image of Hollywood is one of a laissez faire, “anything goes” town dedicated to the movie business. Yet it wasn’t always that way.

Certainly, Kays has discovered something extraordinary about the world of virtual games and essentially it is an impassioned and informative wake- up call to those who may still believe that virtual games are of little importance.
