It set the Standard for Future Books on Quantum Physics!
In Search of Schrödinger's Cat was one of the few books for the layman on Quantum Physics in the early 1980s. It set the standard for future books on the subject.
I read In Search of Schrödinger's Cat in 1984 and it knocked my socks off! Like many engineers I ...

Two Thumbs WAAAAAY Up!!
2000 years ago man thought Earth was the center of the universe. 400 years ago the world was flat; some people who questioned this wisdom were even burned at the stake for heresy. Before the beginning of 19th century engineers thought man would "disintegrate" if he ...

The Blue Castle
L.M. Montgomery
Bantam Books, 1989
Totally Unrealistic, Totally Charming
Fairy tale is the best description for this novel. The drab, old-maidish heroine with the horrible family who blossoms in a new setting and finds the man of her dreams is the most trite of plots. But LM Montgomery has pulled it off by not taking herself or the story ...

Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ
Daniel Goleman
Bantam Books, 2005
An Audacious Proposal for a Paradigm Shift in our Public Schools
Most of the reviews of this book claim it gave them new insights. Me too. Only what I "take home" as most important from this book is quite different than what others have said in their reviews.
I spent my working career as a civil servant (now retired), an ...

James D. Houston
Bantam Books, 1974
Painful Personal Testimony on a Shameful American Act
I could not believe there were one-star reviews until I read them and saw they were written by kids. Obviously part of their 8th grade class assignment was to write a review of the book for Amazon.com. This book is really not for junior-high level kids, as they will ...

The Odessa File
Frederick Forsyth
Bantam Books, 1995
More than a page turner
I hadn't read any Forsyth books but had three waiting to be read (this one, The Day of the Jackal and Icon) and decided to read this one first. Wow. Written in 1972, set in 1963-64, "The Odessa File" is a perfect mix of fact and fiction. Young West German journalist ...

La Cantatrice Chauve: Anti-Piece / La Lecon: Drame Comique (Collection Folio, 236)
Eugene Ionesco
Bantam Books, 2002
the absurd at its best!
Ionesco promised to deliberately explore the post WW2 world by integrating the ABSURD (post-existentialist stream of thought) into the everyday life. He did it with such an ingenious way of portraying the lives of two bourgeouis couples who suffer the scandalous ...

One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich
Alexander Solzhenitsyn
Bantam Books, 1973
This is the terrifying tale of an almost unbelievable man-made hell-- the Soviet work camps--and of one man's heroic struggle to survive in the face of the most determined efforts to destroy him-- a scathing indictment of Communist tyranny....
