Dancing with Life: Buddhist Insights for Finding Meaning and Joy in the Face of Suffering
Phillip Moffitt
Rodale Books
, 2008
A Different Kind of Dharma Book
Most of the Dharma books that I've read fall into two categories: lightweight new-age fluff or heavily-footnoted scholarship. This book avoids both extremes. It's very compactly written, with no apparent filler. (If anything, I think he is too brief in touching on ...

Good book
The book was fine. It was for Wayne State University's DNC 1000 course. I found the book to be easy reading and informative. It gives you insight on different dance forms from around the world and gives you a fuller appreciation of dance as an art. :-) Thanks Amazon!

Stomp your feet!!!
What a treat to buy this for a friend's baby. My youngest child LOVED this book because as others have pointed out, it is fantastic! Just reading the words results in a great rhyme and makes you dance. You can't help it. Babies love it, toddlers love it, and parents ...
The World Is Flat 3.0: A Brief History of the Twenty-first Century
Thomas L. Friedman
Picador

Motivation at its Finest
"Flat" is not self-help, but as far as motivational books go it's probably the most effective. It's a wake up call to all Americans: we need to stay extremly competative on a global scale because other countries are starving for success. Reread the last sentance, look ...

The Authoritative Gen Chem Book
I teach general chemistry as both a private tutor and as a free tutor at Purdue University. In my time, I've seen every general chemistry book known to man come across the table. Without fail, though, BLB is my reference text. Like many gen chem books it has excellent ...

Good intro text; watch out for edition number
Good intro to the principles of critical thinking. It was a little weird for me to have this book assigned in grad school; I remember it from my daughter's college freshman year. New editions keep the readings current, but that means you have to pay attention to the ...
