Amazon.com: Books: Geometry of Design: Studies in Proportion and Composition (#)
„Kimberly Elam takes the reader on a geometrical journey, lending insight and coherence to the design process by exploring the visual relationships that have foundations in mathematics as well as the essential qualities of life. Geometry of Design-the first book in our new Design Briefs Series-takes a close look at a broad range of twentieth-century examples of design, architecture, and illustration (from the Barcelona chair to the Musica Viva poster, from the Braun handblender to the Conico kettle), revealing underlying geometric structures in their compositions. Explanations and techniques of visual analysis make the inherent mathematical relationships evident and a must-have for anyone involved in graphic arts. The book focuses not only on the classic systems of proportioning, such as the golden section and root rectangles, but also on less well known proportioning systems such as the Fibonacci Series.“

Amazon.com: Books: If I Get to Five: What Children Can Teach Us About Courage and Character
„It is this that fails to portray the depth of the situation, as any parent could easily empathise and little more understanding is offered by this book. Rather than giving a true insight into the life of a paediatric neurosurgeon, or any more than a superficial glimpse into the lives of his patients and their parents, this comes across as a pseudo-religious pick and mix of ideas, faith and assertions set against a candy-floss coated spiel about the courage, pluck and strength of children.“

Amazon.com: Books: Bolivia (Oxfam Country Profiles)
„Normally, 'Oxfam Country Profiles are enticing, enlightening and well worth the price of the purchase - not this one. This Oxfam Profile doesn't live up to the engaging style, nor the insight, of other Oxfam Country Profiles that I have read; such as John Crabtree's - Peru (see my review).“

„'Surviving a Successful Heart Attack' left the author and me with many unanswered questions - 'Critical Condition' gives some valid answers and valuable insight on the real reason that we are prescribed many of the medicines that we take today. I have eliminated my coffee habit with the help of a wonderful coffee substitute made from soya beans called "Soyffee", I'm feeling so much better. My doctor recommended it to help lower my cholesterol and promote strong bones. It's available online at www.S o y c o f f e e.com to find it.“

Amazon.com: Books: Grace by the Cup: A Break from the Daily Grind
„From the first page to the last I kept thinking of coffee drinkers who will love this book. Thanks to Dumont's insight and style, I forgot I didn't like coffee and enjoyed the devotionals far more than I thought I would. The anecdotes in Grace by the Cup lifted my spirit, but more importantly, they drew me closer to God.“
