Customer Reviews and Description I enjoyed this book and on several occassions found myself laughing out loud! The plot was interesting and it was witty! But, what it really made me do is think about every self-help book either I or someone I know has bought and read without any success. Yes, law number seven has truth in it! I would recommend this book to my friends who would like to take a look at how sometimes opportunities stare us right in the face...and yet, we walk around them!

| 1142. Taking the Red Pill: Science, Philosophy and Religion in The Matrix | |
|
by: Glenn Yeffeth, David Gerrold List Price: $17.95 Amazon.com's Price: $12.57 You Save: $5.38 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description I found this book interesting at certain points...and terribly tedious at others. I am definitely not a science person, so some of the hard-core technology and scientific language went over my head a bit. However, it is easy to pick and choose with this book, as it is divided into essays and you can either read all the way through (as I chose to do) or read one, wait a week, read another, etc. The essay I found most interesting in the book was "Finding God in the Matrix." As I was raised in a Christian ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

|
by: Mary-Lou Weisman, Paul Meisel List Price: $12.95 Amazon.com's Price: $10.36 You Save: $2.59 (20%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description Why don't middle-aged people have fun? Perhaps because they don't yet have a Middle-Aged Baby Book to put them in the mood. Almost every parent has filled out one of those baby books that includes birth time, weight, pictures from the hospital, first birthday party, favorite toys, and so on. Why shouldn't the middle aged have one, too? . . . Especially since their memories may be going, and this will be the only way to record their lives to remember what happened. The satire is quite complete. Almost ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

by: Tim Neely List Price: $24.99 Amazon.com's Price: $16.99 You Save: $8.00 (32%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description I guess I should have spent a little more time thumbing through this one before picking it up. I have Mr. Neely's current LP price guide and it covers a good variety of styles of music. I assumed this guide whould be equally diverse. I collect mostly soul and jazz 45s, two areas that are lacking or, in the case of jazz 45s, completely devoid of listings. Sure, there are the major artists, James Brown (though I have some label variations not mentioned) the Motown artists, etc. But where's Eddie Bo, for instance? ...

by: Jonathan Larson Estate List Price: $38.00 Amazon.com's Price: $26.60 You Save: $11.40 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description It is the stuff theatre legends are made of: a struggling composer writes and rewrites a show for years, living on a shoestring in New York City, waiting for the break that will mean his music will be heard around the world. Then, tragically, as his show is about to open off-Broadway, he is struck by an aneuryism and dies. His show goes on to huge acclaim, winning Tony Awards, a Pulitzer Prize, and making stars of its actors. A fictional tale? No. This is the story of the musical "RENT" and its composer Jonathan Larson, who died ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

Customer Reviews and Description This book explains rhyme and its importance to writing and inspiration. The author lays out the approach to writing much differently than I have been approaching it for years. This has opened up a whole new level for me in lyric writing - inspiration is much less of an issue because of this book. I highly reccomend this book for beginners, but it can improve even the best lyrical writings. This book is filled with exercises to improve your writing, and if you take the time to do them, you will be a better writer. You will ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

| 1150. Music, Brief, with Kamien 4.0 Multimedia CD-ROM | |
|
by: Roger Kamien Amazon.com's Price: $64.65 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description This is an excellent text for a survey course strictly on the history of western classical music. Kamien's experience and scholarship as a teacher and historian cannot be equalled in this area. I don't recommend the chapters on non-western music, jazz and popular music, however. If you are teaching a survey course that is more inclusive, this text is not ideal. Of all the western classical music texts I have used in my teaching, Kamien's accompanying CD compilation contains the nicest performances. Read Reviews and Description
