1.Mein Kampf by: Adolf Hitler November 21, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £7.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £7.59 You Save: £0.40 ( 5%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £5.45
I read Mein Kampf in the hope of understanding some of the madness of Hitler's actions and wasn't disappointed. Although written in the 1920s what can be found here is a sort of blue print for World war Two.Through the book Hitler exposes the dark side of the human race and tries to manipulate the reader into agreeing with him. Unlike the German people of the time the reader has the luxury of knowing the evil of his plan. An informative and dark book that gives history a slightly different slant

2.Tuesdays with Morrie: An Old Man, a Young Man and Life's Greatest Lesson by: Mitch Albom July 24, 2003

Morrie was mentally strong, though he suffered from the terminal disease, ALS(=amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), I'd say. He was eager to tell the meaning of life to his ex-student, Mitch Albom, who is also the author of Tuesday's With Morrie. I would only worry about my terminal disease,if I were in Morrie's shoes. I mean, all I could do would be to be apathetic or pessimistic about my future. " The truth is once you learn how to die, you learn how to live." - that'd be the last thing I could say. Certainly, it WAS sad that Morrie passed away because he was respected by lots of his students and graduates. However, every Tuesday when Morrie told Mitch the meaning of life must be very precious memories for Mitch, that's for sure!

3.The Irresistible Revolution: Living as an Ordinary Radical by: Shane Claiborne February 01, 2006

Shane Claiborne has found a different Jesus in the gospels than the mainstream church. He's found a Jesus who is homeless, a friend of the poor, who rails against authority and undermines the empire, who tells a rich man to sell everything he owns and give the money away. This is Claiborne's model, and he has done his best to find it, live it and prove such a life is possible. The book follows his journey, from the disillusionment with the church of his youth, and the ambitious and wealthy `megachurches' where he trained. He talks about how he came to bond with the poor in Philadelphia, and then travelled to Calcutta to see if Mother Theresa offered a better demonstration of Christ than the ones around him. He visits Iraq in the middle of the ... Read More:

This book is excellent, not only is it very funny but very illuminating as to how the NHS works now. As a Conservative Councillor it grieves me to say where Labour have got it right but pulls no punches on where it has gone wrong. I'd recommend every politician or who people who need to use the A& E department to read this book. I happily recommend for anyone who enjoys a good read but wants to learn something as well.

5.An Unquiet Mind by: Kay Redfield Jamison May 09, 1997

This book gives a very interesting insight into how people can live with a bi-polar mind. The fact she is very successful and appears to cope with life might surprise some but then when you look below at some of the compulsions the reality of this illness shines through. Yes the book is a bit over the place but that is how the mind works. This might help anyone who lives or knows anyone with this illness. It also gives a good insight into how difficult it is to medicate and why the patient might rebel from medication. If you want an introduction to the world of someone whose mind doesn't tick quite the same as most people rather than or before getting medical books then please have a look at this one.

6.Not without My Sister: The True Story of Three Girls Violated and Betrayed by Those They Trusted by: Kristina Jones, Celeste Jones, Juliana Buhring January 07, 2008

In a world filled with crime and death, war and poverty, many seek the salvation of religion to overcome. We hear many stories about cults in America, stories of teenagers leaving then people they love to stay in communes where they are brainwashed, humiliated, abused and used. This is the true accounts of three sisters who had no choice but to be born into one of these cults, the children of god. From a very early age these poor children were systematically abused physically and mentally by the adult members of the group. How these girls triumphed over these sick people astounds me and I congratulate them and hope that their lives are not tainted by these evil people. This cult is still going and the story of these girls is a warning to us ... Read More:

8.Freaks, Geeks and Asperger Syndrome: A User Guide to Adolescence by: Luke Jackson August 01, 2002

I first came across this book when I was at secondary school, and since leaving back in 2005, I have been searching for this particular title. I must say how highly impressed I was with this book and to read about the experiences of someone who has Aspergers Syndrome as it was a pleasure to read. This book is a real must for anyone who has Aspergers Syndrome or anytime of autism or for those who know nothing about this condition.

9.Speaking for Myself: The Autobiography by: Cherie Blair May 15, 2008

If you've already decided you hate Cherie Blair (as some previous reviwers clearly have - one star? Come on - that's just nasty) then there will be little point in you reading this. Your views will not be changed. Fortunately, lots of people don't have their opinions formed by the tabloids, nor their barometer for perfection set so high that human failings are not permitted in anyone with the temerity to be in the public eye. To you, I would say, go and buy it. I came to it with little in the way of opinions other than that Cherie Blair must have done something terrible in a past life to have had so much opprobrium heaped on her over the years, plus I was interested in hearing her speak for herself. It helps, obviously, that I am close to her age, have seen my children grow up ... Read More:

10.Forgotten Voices of the Great War: A New History of WWI in the Words of the Men and Women Who Were There (Forgotten Voices/the Great War) by: Max Arthur October 02, 2003

Forgotten Voices of the Great War is a collection of real life experiences of the First World War, as told by the ordinary people who lived through it. I must admit that my knowledge of the First World War is a little blank. My only previous experience of this period was through school lessons about trench warfare, or by watching Blackadder goes forth. Therefore I can't make an analysis about the historical accuracy of the book. But what I can say is that I found it a very powerful and poignant work. The author, Max Arthur, has spent several years listening to thousands of recordings of the men and women who lived during this period. These tapes were kept as archival records in the Imperial War Museum, after they were collected in 1972. These are essentially the voices ... Read More:
