Foa, Reid Wilson Bantam, 2001 Just what the doctor ordered This book comes highly recommended by my doctor and is living up to its reputation!             Art Making, Collections, and Obsessions: An Intimate Exploration of the Mixed-Media Work and Collections of ... Lynne Perrella Quarry Books, 2008 Loved It! I have always loved the work of Lynne Perrella, but she has outshone even herself by compiling this book of artists from the same ilk as herself. Being a compulsive collecter and an artist myself, this book was irrestible and to see what other artists collect is both ...             The Four Obsessions of an Extraordinary Executive: A Leadership Fable Patrick M. Lencioni Jossey-Bass, 2000 Obviously, not all obsessions are productive and beneficial This is one in a series of "leadership fables" in which Patrick Lencioni shares his thoughts about the contemporary business world. His characters are fictitious human beings rather than anthropomorphic animals, such as a tortoise that wins a race against a hare or ...             Word Freak: Heartbreak, Triumph, Genius, and Obsession in the World of Competitive ScrabblePlayers Stefan Fatsis Penguin (Non-Classics), 2002 Cool book on the scrabble sub-culture A friend recommended this one to me. Not a topic that I ever even knew existed - professional scrabble! But this is a fascinating subculture populated by lovable misfits -- the introverted nebbish Joel from New York, the hip Marlon, who comes from one of the poorest ...             This Is Your Brain on Music: The Science of a Human Obsession Daniel J. Levitin Plume/Penguin, 2007 One of the best books you can find on the science of music! This book was found, as many of my great finds, on the shelves of a used-book store. The book has traveled around in my car with me as I go from school to my job as a voice teacher. It has been loaned out to music professors, and is now very well worn. I strongly ...             In His Sights: A True Story of Love and Obsession Kate Brennan, None Harper, 2008 Excellent I am surprised by the anger this book generated in a recent review. I, too, read the book. It was clear the experience was fully documented as accurate. Although documenting subtle and mind-playing games must be difficult, it was apparent that the authorities saw it ...             The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce, and Obsession Adam Leith Gollner Scribner, 2008 Delicious This is such a great book. Gollner never takes his subject matter quite too seriously - a must if you're writing about a topic so obscure. His descriptions of the fruits he encounters are truly creative - he manages to weave the English language in such a way as to ...             Obsession (Alex Delaware, No. 21) Jonathan Kellerman Ballantine Books, 2008 Obsession Excellent service and product was better than described. I am very satisfied with this seller and will use them again.             Prime Obsession: Bernhard Riemann and the Greatest Unsolved Problem in Mathematics John Derbyshire Plume, 2004 Prime numbers and Riemann Very good book, easy to read, no previous knowledge on math is needed but just secondary.             The Orchid Thief: A True Story of Beauty and Obsession (Ballantine Reader's Circle) Susan Orlean Ballantine Books, 2000 No Title Pretty quick read because it is totally, utterly engrossing. Orlean has a wonderful writing style, and a knack for just the right amount of metaphors and similes. Plus terrific descriptive abilities. Every bit as wonderful as the film "Adaptation" which was made ...             Lolita Vladimir Nabokov Penguin Books Ltd, 1998 Selfishness and stupidity cause more pain than evil can In the field of erotic literature, this novel has probably touched the awareness of the public more than any other, to such an extent that the once innocuous name of Lolita has become another name for youthful feminine charm and sexuality, to put it mildly. Those ...             At First Sight: A Novel of Obsession Stephen J. Cannell Vanguard Press, 2008 A lot of people are not going to like this novel A lot of people aren't going to like At First Sight. A big reason for this is that the central character is a self absorbed, intolerant, jerk. Personally, I like novels with flawed, even detestable characters, as long as they are interesting and/or entertaining. ...             Grand Obsession: A Piano Odyssey Perri Knize Scribner, 2008 Fantastic and educational read! I really enjoyed the book, her tales, and all the wonderful information I learned about pianos. I am a pianist, but I didn't know all the detail that goes into building a fine instrument. I am dying to hear the Schubert tuning on an instrument- I wonder how I will do ...             House Lust: America's Obsession With Our Homes Daniel McGinn Doubleday Business, 2008 Lots of FUN and also Educational I really enjoyed this book. It is extremely easy to read, has adequate footnotes for those who want to further explore any of the topics which the author covers, and in my opinion it incredibly accurately captures the fascination/interest/obsession (and yes, even lust) ...          products you might be interested in search for books collections, compulsions, extraordinary, mathematics, mixed-media, scrabbleplayers      toavi.com    web we recommend No Title randomly chosen book: Tattoo Blues
