Descartes' Error: Emotion, Reason, and the Human Brain

Antonio Damasio

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2005

Wonderful Intro to Cognitive Neuroscience.
This book served as my introduction to the world of cognitive neuroscience. Written in a hybrid story-explanation form unique to Damasio, this book shows how much is known about how our mind operates and how we know it. As indicated in the title, it also describes a ...

Antonio Lopez Garcia

Cheryl Brutvan

MFA Publications, 2008

Pre-review.
Why so inexpensive when the Rizolli book is $500 - $1000!!! Size. This book is 6 3/4 by 8 1/4. I appreciate anything I can get on the artist, but the person who put this book together should be shot. Metaphorically.

Beginning XNA 2.0 Game Programming: From Novice to Professional (Expert's Voice in Game Programming)

Alexandre Santos Lobao, Bruno Pereira Evangelista, ...

Apress, 2008

Best XNA book, code examples contain errors, where is the Quality Control?
I found this book on the web and still decided to buy it. The book is the easiest time I think I have ever had learning XNA, however, like all programming books it seems that only experienced coders who correct errors as they read are the ones in charge of editing and ...

Interview With an Exorcist: An Insider's Look at the Devil, Demonic Possession, and the Path to Deliverance

Jose Antonio Fortea

Ascension Press, 2006

Back to basic Roman Catholic beliefs
I purchased this book recently more out of an interest to see what the author was going to tell us. I hoped it would not be like several TV programmes that treat the area of spirits and such like as a must view TV Soap. I was delighted that the book was anything but ...

Chiquita (Premio Alfaguara de novela 2008)

Antonio Orlando Rodriguez

Alfaguara, 2008

Just Great / Muy Divertido
Just finished reading Chiquita. Very entertaining. You never know if what you are reading is true or false, and the description of the characters, places, etc. just great. The author has this kind of humor, you know he is enjoying himself writing those outrageous ...

The Feeling of What Happens: Body and Emotion in the Making of Consciousness

Antonio Damasio

Harvest Books, 2000

A seminal work
I very seldom come across a book that is so groundbreaking in its content as to make me determined to fully understand what the author is trying to convey (even if it means rereading it three times!) Damasio's The Feeling of What Happens is an astonishing achievement ...

The Velveteen Rabbit

Margery Williams

HCI, 2005

A 'real' children's story
The rabbit, feeling a bit out of place and a bit unworthy, nonetheless yearned to be loved, not for what he could be or should have been, but rather for what he truly was. What child (or adult, for that matter) can't find meaning here? Children yearn for love and ...

The Velveteen Rabbit Gift Set: Hardcover book and plush package

Margery Williams

HCI, 2005

The Velveteen Rabbit Gift Set
I bought this for my little niece who is 3 years old. She liked the little stuffed rabbit. She also liked the illustrations in the book. She listened to some of the story being read, but I believe she will enjoy it more as she gets older. Her (my) nephews of which ...

Sepharad

Antonio Munoz Molina

Harvest Books, 2008

A Profound Achievement
I've never read anything quite like Sepharad. I thought a bit about W.G. Sebald's work while reading this wonderful book, however, Munoz Molina -- or his exceptional translator -- is more of a poet. The stories that comprise this novel are all about displacement -- ...

Looking for Spinoza: Joy, Sorrow, and the Feeling Brain

Antonio Damasio

Harvest Books, 2003

The Mind is shaped by Nature to ensure survival of the Body
Spinoza was a remarkable 17th century philosopher whose Jewish family fled the Portuguese Inquisition to find refuge in Holland. Spinoza held that `the mind' is simply a bodily process: it is not a separate entity from the body. Furthermore, he claimed that emotions, ...

Uncredited: Graphic Design & Opening Titles in Movies

Gemma Solana, Antonio Boneu

Index Book, 2008

Credit where credit's due
At last a book I've waited some years for. With more than three hundred credit sequences (so hundreds and hundreds of images) this is a feast of visual goodies. The ten chapters reveal a history of the movie in the movies. It is sort of chronological though many ...
