A brief but compact summary of aging and what it does to your mind body and soul. Chapters break down each subject and give a brief overview of the topics. Towards the end of the book a lot of space is dedicated to the spiritual aspect of getting old and dying.

 Some might find the ancient history of aging to not be relevant to the discussion but in reality it fits right into what is happening today.

 I plan on re -reading some parts of the book again piece by piece. It will serve as a reference book for when I forget how my body is aging.

A neat little compact book on a very in-depth subject .

Although the book is short, as it is intended to be, do not get the impression that it does not contain a wealth of information. This serves as a great introduction/synthesis to those who have known of or those just discovering a history outside of the dry primary and secondary education attempts.

Nice brief overview of why the State is the enemy. However, the book does not go deep enough and only provides hypothetical examples to support its theories.

This guide offers an overview of the primary reasons people allow clutter to collect and grow, and also gives tips and encouragement for tackling cluttered areas of the home.  Much of the information can be found in other sources, but this short book summarizes the topic, and can be read in 30 minutes or less.  It may be best suited to those who want a quick introduction or review on how to manage clutter.

This is an easy to read little book that can be read quickly, but you'll probably want to take a little time to reflect on some of what you've read. I think it would be a nice book to read if you're visiting the country or learning the language. It's the kind of book with short explanations about a lot of topics. It's easy to read a few chapters and then set it aside to read more later. There are sections on harmony, beauty, religion, feelings and relationships and more. I found it to be quite an enjoyable read.

Good introduction, most of the point can be found on the web but it's good to see them all together in a little book.

I was surprised at how succinct this was.  I had hoped for some more depth.  That said,  while I certainly didn't find it revolutionary,  this work provides a fairly easy to down summary of Rothbard's ideas,  and leaves the reader with a host of topics which warrant further thought and analysis.  I found that while I didn't necessarily take any specific lessons from this,  I was left with a list of topics which I now intend to investigate further. So,  as a definitive work,  most will likely find this disappointing,  but as a quick summary that points the reader to more paths to delve into on their own,  it's quite good.

Good overview.  Not an in-depth studying, but that would take a treatise.

Short and quick. If you're into personal development and you just like hearing different viewpoints on the same message from different times its a good add to your library.

There is nothing spectacular or novel in this short little book, but it nonetheless will be valuable to the person who puts it to use.  What I liked was the short and to-the-point chapters (what the author calls "laws"), many of which contained exercises at the end to get you thinking about how the topic can be applied to your own life.  There are 25 of these "laws" and for the most part they cover well-known territory.  In other words the material which is not breathtakingly original is brought to gather well and organized to allow the reader to put it to effective use.  It's a practical book.  The author illustrates his points with examples from his own life, which is at times inspiring.

If you are looking to do something different with your life and get some motivation and direction then I think this little volume will be useful to you.  If you just read a bunch of success type books and are looking for something new you probably won't find it here.

A decent primer on the topic.  The topic is covered from a reformed/non-Armenian point of view. This results in a more cogent and complete hermeneutic.  The short and digestible chapters do well at building upon each over and uses applicable metaphors when needed.  There is space dedicated to the topic as it relates to God's sovereignty. However due to the short length there are a few sub-points on the topic that would have been nice to address.

The book offers a biblical look at the topic and the short length makes it a good starter on the topic especially for new believers.  Final grade - B

I just love these small books. You get a nice, brief overview of a particular subject, and there are many subjects covered by these books. In this book, Frank Close, professor of physics at Oxford University, enlightens us on the nature of the particles that make up our universe.

He begins by discussing the nature of matter, atoms, and forces. We then get a feel for the relative size of the constituents of our world from the very small (angstroms and Fermi) to the very large (the universe). We are provided with a good explanation of the electron volt (eV) and what it means when trying to ascertain the nature of the atom and the protons, neutrons, quarks, and electrons that compose it. There is some discussion of cyclotrons and synchrotrons, the effects of relativity on the accelerated particles, and the different types of colliders in use today.

The author spends a chapter discussing the various particle detection methods from the early techniques to the present, such as the cloud chamber, emulsions, bubble chambers, spark chambers, proportional chamber, drift chamber, and silicon strip detectors. We learn also about the neutrino detection methods via the SuperKamiokande experiment and the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory - all very interesting stuff. Following this, we get an introduction into the weird world of quarks, such as the charm, strange, bottom, and top quarks, concluding with a short discussion on why the world consists of matter rather than antimatter.

I thought the book was ok given it's length.  I was looking for something very brief on the subject and this fit the need.  If you are looking for a very quick read on the subject this will give you the introduction you need.
