A Woman's Decision: Breast Care, Treatment and Reconstruction
Karen J. Berger, John Bostwick

Quality Medical Publishing, 1994

Fantastic for newly diagnosed breast cancer patients!
As with the lady above, this book helped me after my diagnosis. My surgeon presented me with the most conservative treatment(lumpectomy, radiation, possible chemotherapy) but gave me the book at the end of the visit. I pored over this book for the weekend and came to ...
  
  











  



  
About Looking
John Berger

Vintage, 1992

How little we appreciate visually
Most of what our eyes take in is filtered, as we cannot process all that is within the field of our vision. Were there no limits, sleep would be required for the vast majority of each 24-hour period. Our brain provides filters that allow selective acknowledgement or ...
  
  











  



  
A Woman's Decision: Breast Care, Treatment & Reconstruction (Quality Medical Home Health Library)
Karen Berger, John Bostwick

St. Martin's Griffin, 1998

One of a Kind
There are many, many books out there dealing with breast cancer and treatment but this was the only one I could find that really helps a woman decide what course to take if she thinks she wants to have reconstructive surgery. I found it so helpful I recommended it to ...
  
  











  



  
Ways of Seeing: Based on the BBC Television Series
John Berger

Penguin (Non-Classics), 1990

A Foundation of the Post-modern
Even though "Ways of Seeing" is a flawed book in many ways, it is so seminal in the development of post-modern image making that it must be considered essential reading in critical theory. The book is based on a television series. The book itself is only 176 pages. ...

The Pathfinder (Signet Classics)
James Fenimore Cooper

Signet Classics, 2006

Here is the gripping original Western that set the standard for the genre. Natty Bumppo is the quintessential Western hero, a faultless arbiter of wilderness justice. But he finds his love divided between the woman he has pledged to protect-and the untouched forest.

Deutsch Heute: Introductory German, Eighth Edition
Jack Moeller, Winnifred R. Adolph, ...

Houghton Mifflin, 2006

Detailed and informative for beginners
When I began using this textbook as part of an elementary German college course, I had absoluely no prior experience in German grammar or communication (I couldn't even say eins, zwei, drei :) ). I find that the book is, for the most part, very straightfoward in ...
  
  











  



  
Selected Essays of John Berger
John Berger

Vintage, 2003

Indispensable
I happened to pick this book up in a store because I had read one novel of Berger's, Pig Earth, which I thought was very good. I knew he was an art critic, but I never had any particular urge to read art criticism; I didn't think visual art needed a lot of explaining. ...

Sense of Sight
John Berger

Vintage, 1993

John Berger is alway relevant
It was a delight to return to John Berger's writings through this collection of essays. A few are previously unpublished and the rest date from 1960 to 1984. Old stuff? No. Some of the essays are timeless, those on art in particular. Some offer haunting pictures of a ...
