Quantum Enigma: Physics Encounters Consciousness
$15.95
It was a good presentation. They may have overused the Schrodinger box concept a bit. It is very important but not appropriate in all example explanations. Not enough emphasis was given at the end that some of the consciousness theories are barely hypothesis. Actually, the whole discussion of consciousness was very brief and ineffectual. However, that doesn't take away from the overall value of this book.

$5.99
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3I1YCTGKWBW6I More government isn't reform, it's devolution. Gratzer's suggestions are what I call reform and the stuff of change and hope. An excellent book indeed.

Encounter (Voyager books)
$7.00
As part of our third grade curriculum I find this book is useful for students to understand the impact the European explorers had on the Native Americans. It leads to interesting discussions and opens up the minds of young people to imagine what it must have been like to see these strange Europeans on their land.
