tiny glossy book that glosses over the facts

This book was written for people who truly do not know anything about the Hebrew alphabet. The book is tiny, the pictures of the letters are really pretty and big and shiny, and the writing is kind to the mind.  Great gift idea for kids or for seekers who aren't sure if they want to be pagans or monotheists or atheists. Or for Jews to give Christians who have a lot to learn without offending them. It is a pretty gift book, not a scholary tome. Poeple have found it heart warming. The quality of the paper really is exceptional. You could frame the letters. I am a Jesus freak and have given this book as a gift and it has been loved by Jews and Christians and atheists.

Although it's small in size,it's loaded with info and color pictures. It makes a nice desk reference book. If you want more detailed info, you need a dedicated book to the plane you wish to look at. If I can say one thing about Bill Gunston, all his books that I own are great. If his name is of a book,it's a guarantee it's a good book.

Enjoyed the writing, and simple history explanations with little did-you-know sections, illustrations and photos were of good quality.  A very small book in size, about 5 x 7 inches.

This cute little book of Philosophy 101 is definitely a great little book to read up on certain things, if not all. Towards the center there are full sized, glossy photo pages which are cool to look at. From Platos and Socrates to Ethics and Metaphysics. There are all sorts of philosophers mentioned as well as what their philosophies were.  Each person is provided with a bio and some background information before getting into their philosophies. The philosophy part is the most informational part included. For example, Thomas Hobbes views on knowledge, human nature, and fear/hope/social contract. I was given the opportunity to receive this for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review, all opinions are my own. I received no further compensation in return for a positive rating.

It was much smaller than I could have imagined and the print is very small.  There are interesting facts included in this book, as well as the Constitution itself.  I would have preferred a larger size book, but what I wanted was the information and I got that!

I enjoy learning all that I can about different places, and I thoroughly enjoyed this short read. The book is only a little over 100 pages, but it's full of information. It has a little of everything including information about the leaders, the people, the land, and even some history. I loved the little additions throughout the book that made it even more interesting, like facts, quotes, timelines, and even a popular drink recipe! It's easy to learn when what you're reading provides the necessary information, but keeps it short, sweet, and to the point. That's exactly what this book does.

I received this book for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

This is a nice little book packed with illustrations and photos, some black and white, some in color. And there is some good information in there too! Small and easy to carry, it doesn't take up much space and shares quite a bit of beautiful fun!

This is a great little book to leave around the "Throne Room"

to fill a few minutes. Although filled with a lot of little ponderables we have all had,it will never be the final word in this sort of thing since the world is filled with those little questions we have all wondered about. The difference here is that some of those questions get answered. Each question and answer is brief and can be covered in a couple of minutes.

  A taste of the questions brought up :

  "Why is the shower warmer in the middle?"

  "How can a paper clip float?"

  "Why do ice cubes crack in your drink?"

  "What's the oldest thing alive?"

  And finally that question on the cover,

  "Why does a ball bounce?"

  Like I said,not earth-shattering stuff,but something you've probably pondered.

Some of it was helpful.  This was interesting.  Good for a short little book.  Good for an  "on the go" book.

So much information about how to distinguish birds in a small book -- love it.

I truly love this book. It's small enough to take anywhere and it has all the information that one could need on the spot.

Book is easy to read, up to date, and well laid out.  Gives all the facts and contains no fillers like many other books in this space.  Because of its compact size and wealth of information, I will be able to reference it easily as I extend my blog with new features.

Concise reference material that is laminated.  The print is a bit small, but when I have my glasses on I can see it.  MUCH better than the ultra tiny Barron's Italian Grammar book that I bought with it.

While this book is rather short- it wets the appitite to want to learn more details. This book would be idea for a high school student doing a report. It touches on the main events without giving so much detail that you get overloaded with it, while at the same time making you interested in what you are reading.

A small book that will take you see what is that the Scripture will say about a bioethics case and recommendations.

I've enjoyed periodically "thumbing through" this little book. It's simple, interesting, and humorous. I think it's interesting because it is a little piece of history; some of the references provide some insight to the time period in which it was written. The advent of e-books has provided a lot of benefits, one of which is to enjoy older books such as this one without adding to the bulk of one's book collection.
