1.The Selfish Gene by: Richard Dawkins March 16, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £8.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £6.74 You Save: £2.25 (25%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £3.90
Dawkins writes that "the argument of this book is that we, and all other animals, are machines created by our genes" (p.xxi) and that "We are survival machines - robot vehicles blindly programmed to preserve the selfish molecules known as genes" (p.xxi). Yet, according to him, this book "is not science fiction; it is science" (p.xxi)! Dawkins contrives to overlook the twin discoveries that: 1. the observable traits of organisms are mostly conditioned by the interactions of many genes; 2. most genes have multiple effects on many of these traits. Dawkins transfers characteristics with which he is familiar from human behaviour on the macro-level to the inanimate components, "genes", of which we are physically ... Read More:

2.Shakespeare: The World as a Stage (Eminent Lives) by: Bill Bryson April 01, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £7.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £3.86 You Save: £4.13 (52%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £2.25
Bill Bryson is more or less superman in today's literary world. He transcends subjects in a single bound and the globe in another. He's a talented critic, writer and humourist. It's a good job, to use modern vernacular, that he's the daddy because, with this one, he's taken on the mother of all literary subjects. He's done so wisely. He's not attempted to become an original researcher and posit new theories about the man's identity or his plays and other works. He has essentially evaluated and sumamrised the existing state of Shakepearian debate and study, providing his own critique of what is compelling and credible. Thankfully, Bryson was born without a 'boredom gene' and the book reaches any audience, reading so easily. The man does not do ... Read More:

3.The Digital Photography Book by: Scott Kelby August 31, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £13.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £8.34 You Save: £5.65 (40%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £6.50
I have never picked up a professional camera before, so books with aperture and white balance etc went straight over my head. This book is great for someone new to digital photography who just wants to go out and take pictures that look great. The book features allot of the basic equipment you will need to get started and a few prices to give a feel for things. It's nice to finally have a few comparisons of what to expect to pay depending on the quality of equipment. The book gives you the information on how to take different pictures and what to look for if your interested in the theory behind the different camera settings and how the equipment works. The only thing not good about this book is the typically poor American ... Read More:

4.Allen Carr's Easy Way to Stop Smoking: Be a Happy Non-smoker for the Rest of Your Life (Allen Carrs Easy Way) by: Allen Carr January 05, 2006

Having read this book I should say from the outset that this method did not work for me, however, I have lent the book to over 5 friends of mine (Sorry!) and all have managed to as soon as finishing the book!! I can honestly say that this is a very honest and well thought out method for quitting and am very happy I read it, because, ever since finishing it, whilst I haven't managed to break the habit... I have hated every cigarette since!!! Well Done!! If your a smoker... Please try this!!!

5.Passing the UK Clinical Aptitude Test (UKCAT) and BMAT 2008 (Student Guides to University Entrance) (Student Guides to University Entrance) by: Felicity Taylor, Rosalie Hutton, Glenn Hutton April 21, 2008

The book will help you mainly for the abstract reasoning and decision analysis. However the verbal reasoning section is terrible. A lot of the answers are wrong and provide invalid explanations. Helpful? Some parts Worth the money? No Better alternatives? Buy the succeeding the UKCAT book.

6.From Fatigued to Fantastic: A Clinically Proven Program to Regain Vibrant Health and Overcome Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia by: Jacob Teitelbaum October 04, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £6.52
If I have learned nothing else from my experiences with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia, I have come to understand the need to educate myself about my health issues. Often health care professionals simply don't have the knowledge of how to help my symptoms. Unless they specialize in these conditions, they simply can't keep up with the bulk of current research. Therefore, the onus is on me, as someone dedicated to my good health, to be part of the solution. For those individuals wanting to educate themselves on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia, From Fatigued to Fantastic is a very good resource. It begins with those fundamental questions that we all ask. What are these conditions? What causes them? Why did I get them? The author ... Read More:

7.The Digital Photography Book Volume 2: The Step-by-Step Secrets for How to Make Your Photos Look Like the Pros! (Digital Photography) by: Scott Kelby January 10, 2008

Please, don't take any notice of the tripe you will read in these reviews about stupid humour. It is only in a half dozen intro pages and even then, it's not enough to worry about and stop you learning from these wonderful books. Buy this book, buy volume one too and a good highlighter pen, because you will learn an awful lot (unless you are a seasoned pro). The tips are quick, precise and have made my photography much better in the week it has taken me to read (and cover in highlighter!) both volumes. Volume two has a great section on studio work with simple and inexpensive equipment that is worth the cover price alone. Don't listen to the silly moans about his sense of humour, buy these and learn lots!

8.Mind Over Mood: Change How You Feel By Changing the Way You Think by: Christine A Padesky, Dennis Greenberger May 10, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £16.95 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £12.71 You Save: £4.24 (25%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £10.00
This is an excellent book to make you realise how your feelings are determined by your thoughts, and how you can positively influence your mood by changing the way you think. Some self-help books don't deliver because they're too vague but this book is also very practical, with many useful exercises. It's no wonder that many people are so enthusiastic about CBT and talking about it as an alternative to medication. I do not suffer from depression and was always a fairly happy person but this book has taught me how to be happier still. I would also recommended Eckhart Tolle's the Power of Now for a slightly different perspective and Steve Taylor's Making Time Making Time: Why Time Seems to Pass at Different Speeds and How to Control It for an invesigation into time and how we can ...

I recently had to read this as the basis for an essay, but was pleasantly surprised. It is an interesting snippet questioning our view of art and if it has changed throughout history. I found a few of the assumptions a little irritating, such as that Reubens would not have been aware of the device of depicting the human body in an anatomically incorrect pose in order to give the impression of movement. (Particularly as this is something that was well known among artists for hundreds of years and had been used by Leonardo da Vinci for example). However, if you are looking for a thought provoking, unusual look at how images have been used throughout history, give it a go. Its not a long book and some of the chapters are purely visual to allow the viewer to come to ... Read More:
