Moon Lander: How We Developed the Apollo Lunar Module

Thomas J. Kelly

Smithsonian, 2001

Excellent book for managers
This was a great book and a quick read! It is detailed, to be sure, but will capture and maintain the interest of anyone who wants to know on how the lunar module came into being. And, I would definitely recommend it to any manager--especially in high-tech ...

Andrea Camilleri

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2005

Exquisite Mysteries, Little Personal Plots, Tiny Pleasures, and Sardonic Humor
Excursion to Tindari has some of the best humor based on human elimination since Rabelais. Who else but Andrea Camilleri would indulge his character development in such an imaginative and earthy way? An ongoing theme in the book is the troubled nature of love ...

The New Turing Omnibus: Sixty-Six Excursions in Computer Science

A. K. Dewdney

Holt Paperbacks, 1993

Brain Dessert
Dewdney is one of the most stimulating writers on applied thinking and computer science that I have had the pleasure to read. Where the standard CS textbooks are most stale, Dewdney is the most provocative. He illuminates the dark corners of abstract thought with ...

The Deer on a Bicycle: Excursions into the Writing of Humor

Patrick F. McManus

Eastern Washington University Press, 2000

A Humor Tool
For those of us who write and want to inject a bit of humor in our writing, Patrick McManus has given us an invaluable tool with this book. It's not only instructive and reflective on what makes humor humorous, it's also a funny book in itself. It probably helps that ...

Dinosaurs in the Attic: An Excursion into the American Museum of Natural History

Douglas J. Preston

St. Martin's Griffin, 1993

Engrossing, hilarious (sometimes) human nature book
You wouldn't think of museums as providing the stuff for comedians, but I can see not enough people know about what actually goes on in these collosal monuments to human curiosity! I came to this book by way of mystery writers (Preston and Child--Relic and ...

Mvrdv: Km3: Excursions on Capacity

MVRDV mvrdv

Actar, 2006

KM3 is 2Heavy
"Three-dimensionality can be seen as architecture's fundamental existence, the profession's acclaimed domain. In times of globalizations and scale enlargement, an update of this definition seems needed: meters turn into kilometers, M3 becomes KM3." KM3 is the ...

Idyll Banter: Weekly Excursions to a Very Small Town

Chris Bohjalian

Harmony, 2003

The Personal, Concentrated, Becomes Universal
Much as I love novels, there are times when short, pithy, engaging non-fiction is exactly what I feel like reading. And I am well aware that there are damned few writers in the world who can claim mastery of both forms. Chris Bohjalian is one such writer, and "Idyll ...

Ford Super Duty F-250 & F-350 Pick-ups 1999 thru 2006: Includes Excursion (Haynes Repair Manual)

Ken Freund

Haynes Manuals, Inc., 2007

A long time waiting
I have an 04 F350 with the 6.0 diesel engine and it took over 2 1/2 years for me to find a manual. I like the manual, but I believe that there is not enough information in there. I think there are too many years in the span and that Haynes should have separated ...

Charlie Kaufman and Hollywood's Merry Band of Pranksters, Fabulists and Dreamers: An Excursion Into the ...

Derek Hill

Oldcastle Books, 2008

Entertaining, well written overview
The book exceeded my expectations. It's a brilliant overview of a small group of film artists that may or may not be connected through their language of film. The author gives just the right amount of historical background, delving shortly and poignantly into 60's ...
