Amazon.com: Books: Energy and the Ecological Economics of Sustainability (#)
„Simply put, human behavior does not submit to the calculus of mechanical reasoning. If one accepts Peet's arguments (which are difficult to undermine), then it becomes clear that our most urgent research need is in establishing and articulating a new paradigm of scientific reasoning that offers hope for addressing the environmental problems of the present (and presumably the next two hundred years, give or take). Peet suggests that an "ecological view" is the proper basis for a new science called Ecological Economics.“

Amazon.com: Books: Objective-C Pocket Reference
„One is that it talks about the #import preprocessor directive, but nowhere does it mention the advantages of using #ifndef guards. Another problem is that in some parts it is Cocoa-specific; I would have preferred that it concentrate on the OpenStep standard in general so that other OpenStep implementations might not be left out (but the book does occasionally mention GNUstep, which is great).“

Amazon.com: Books: Omnidirectional Optical Filters
„Omnidirectional Optical Filters gives an integrated presentation of this new type of filter design that is rapidly becoming an integral part of these areas. Not only does the book give the reader a fresh look at the development of optical filter material; it is the first text dedicated to the explanation of omnidirectional optical filters. Beginning with the description of the basic optical phenomena behind these filters, the book moves on to classical filter design, and then newer designs. For the first time, omnidirectional short-pass, band pass, band-blocking and narrow band-pass filter designs are explained in detail.“

„This doesn't help in the flow of the novel and it's REALLY annoying to read the same basic dialogue four to five times just for padding (what was his editor thinking???). This novel is FULL of descriptions of cups of coffee, routs people are taking inside buildings (and not important people for important parts of the novel, it happens all the time), same municipal descriptions (we get it, Moscow is bleak, on with the story), etc...“

Amazon.com: Books: Uncommon Grounds: The History of Coffee and How It Transformed Our World
„It is amazing to me how much longer it took Americans to realize the potential for much better tasting coffee. It does give hope to all entrepreneurs, because this seems so obvious to us post-Starbucks, but it is only very recently that gourmet coffee companies figured out that we might want something with flavor.“

„That doesn't mean a regression to an agrarian society. It means, instead, a restoration of democratic practices - the raising of humans to their natural place of dominance over artificial entities. He encourages local communities to begin redefining their laws to reflect the concept that corporate organizations are not people. Once that precedent is established, the democratic ideal can be restored by revising laws and constitutions up through the political hierarchy.“
