The Trouble With Physics: The Rise of String Theory, The Fall of a Science, and What Comes Next

Lee Smolin

Mariner Books, 2007

Fascinating Reading
What shocked me most about Smolin's account of string theory is his claim that many of its leading lights pay rather little attention to mathematical rigor or even to a clean definition of their mathematical concepts. If this is indeed true, it would be a major ...

Looking For Trouble: Adventures in a Broken World

Ralph Peters

Stackpole Books, 2008

A great adventure from a master story-teller
Ralph Peter's book should be required reading for every Marxism-besotted and multiculturalism-drunk humanities department in the United States. He stumbled upon an elemental truth in a youthful visit to Tito's Yugoslavia with its communism-lite: "There was nothing ...

Bad Luck and Trouble (Jack Reacher)

Lee Child

Prompt delivery, clean book, great reading
Very please with the condition of the book, the promptness of service, Donn Doyle

The Berenstain Bears and the Trouble with Chores (Berenstain Bears)

HarperFestival, 2005

Start a conversation with you child
I love all the Berenstein Bears books. They can provide a good starting point for a conversation with your child. Don't look to these books for answers on how to handle a problem. They aren't meant for that. In this one, we see what happens when Mama gets tired of ...

Gender Trouble: Feminism and the Subversion of Identity (Routledge Classics)

Skippyjon Jones in Mummy Trouble (Skippyjon Jones)

We LOVE the Skippito

Maus II: A Survivor's Tale: And Here My Troubles Began (Maus)

Art Spiegelman

Pantheon, 1992

Painting in order to Avoid Self-Portraits
At first glance, Maus might seem like yet another attempt to spin the genocide of the Jewish people into something demeaning. I have seen people turn and walk away from the selection because of that, and when I suggested this as required reading in a class it was ...

Maus : A Survivor's Tale : My Father Bleeds History/Here My Troubles Began/Boxed

Art Spiegelman

Pantheon, 1993

Masterpiece!
As a Jew Living in Israel, holocaust related books are important to read, but it's hard to do it actually. I can remember several holocaust-era semi-biographic novels which are great but those are the exceptions. Most of the books are a bit bothersome though true. ...

Sweet Trouble

Susan Mallery

HQN Books, 2008

Very good ending for the series (no spoilers)

Truth Should Always Be Questioned
