Principles of Microeconomics
by N. Gregory Mankiw
Amazon Price: $106.56
Customer Review: Joseph Schumpeter once encouraged his readers to make up their mind whether they wanted simple or useful answers, because both could not be had at the same time. Mankiw opts for the former option. A student who knows little about economics and who wi…

by Richard Dawkins
Amazon Price: $10.85
Customer Review: Dado que mi “review” de este libro no es nada original comparado con las que ya se han escrito, la escribo en español. Este libro también se ha traducido en Español, aunque la que yo compré es la edición del trigésimo aniversario en inglés. La edició…
Genetics: From Genes to Genomes
by Leland Hartwell, Leroy Hood, Michael L. Goldberg, Ann Reynolds, Lee M. Silver, Ruth C. Veres
Amazon Price: $120.60
Customer Review: This book is decent. It seems like it could be used in a lower-level undergraduate genetics class. One good thing is that it includes the answers to odd problems in the back of the book (it would be better to have the answers to every problem). One b…
The Final Warning (Maximum Ride, Book 4)
by James Patterson
Amazon Price: $13.60
Customer Review: I loved all the Maximum Ride books. This one was a little contrived, more of a lesson on global warming with a short, wierd battle at the end. It is a credit to Patterson that he has developed such great characters, that I still loved to read about …

The Zone: A Dietary Road Map to Lose Weight Permanently : Reset Your Genetic …
by Barry Sears
Amazon Price: $19.60
Customer Review: Maybe this book has been helpful for some people, but not for me. He oversimplifies and says that the Zone diet (40% carbs, 30% protein and 30% fat) will basically cure every disease. I was not impressed.

by Bruce H. Lipton

Customer Review: This book is a fantastic primer on cell biology and what’s being discovered today about quantum physics and how it relates in a macro way to the cell. what was both daunting AND respectable about the book is the amount of technical education given on…
Introduction to Genetic Analysis
by Anthony J.F. Griffiths, Susan R. Wessler, Richard C. Lewontin, Sean B. Carroll
Amazon Price: $80.54
Customer Review: After having studied this book whole-heartedly for an entire semester, I feel that it just doesn’t do a very decent job of relating the material in an inviting manner.
The topics are typically unorganized and almost seem to ramble, resu…
