Simon Barrett - ArticlesSimon Barrett is an adult educator in Calgary, Alberta. With the 11 months a year of winter, he reads a lot of books! He is also a contributing editor for Blogger News and maintains a personal blog at Simon B. Book Review: Wrestling With the Goddess - a Personal Odyssey by Azeem KayumAt first glance the title of this book seems rather strange. A book about one man's struggle to overcome some severe physical and learning disabilities, what could Goddesses possibly have to do with anything? Actually the book is very cleverly titled, the goddess in question comes from Greek Mythology,... Book Review: Family Plots - Love, DeathI sit here in front of my computer unsure where to begin this review, should I begin with the story in the book, or the story about the book. As both are compelling tales!
Throwing reviewing convention out of the window I think I will begin at the end. Mary Patrick... Book Review: Take-Charge Living by Marion Kramer Jacobs, PH.DThere are a flood of self help books on the market, for the most part it is almost like some one has written a piece of software that churns them out, same ideas, different buzz words, oh and the chapter order is scrambled! Most of these books have the credibility... Book Review: An Obsolete Honor - a Story of the German Resistance to Hitler by Helena P. SchraderThere are two very clear types of Historical Fiction, those that are merely set against a historical backdrop and the historical events are mere bit players recessed into the color commentary. The second type of book is a much different beast, take a historical event, place it in center stage... Book Review: Militarist Millionaire Peacenik - Memoir of a Serial Entrepreneur by Alan F. KayI like biographies, oh, not those ghost written glossy ones featuring this weeks favorite pop star, or yesterday's political want to be. I like biographies by real people who have a real story. For good or bad, I like real stories about real people. They don't have to be captains... Book Review: Healing the Rift - Bridging the Gap Between ScienceI do not venture into book stores, I find them depressing places, all of those poor homeless books! I am pretty certain that the larger stores have an entire section titled 'When Science Meets God', as there seem to be a plethora of books doing the rounds on this very... Book Review: In His Own Time - A Story of Family, Friends, And Courage by Tamara Pray FrazierIn His Own Time is a work of non fiction and explores the remarkable story of Rhonda "Faye" Baker. A gifted athlete, from a family of gifted athletes, who in October 2000 experienced a life changing event, and one that I would wish on no one. While on a church... Book Review: The Secure CEO - How to Protect Your Computer Systems, Your Company, And Your Job by Mike FosterIn the introduction Mike Foster suggests that this is a book that every CEO should read, and by reading it they will gain an understanding of the world of Information Technology (IT) that has become such a fundamental part of almost every company's fabric in the past 20 years. I... The Best Books I Read in 20082008 was a rich year for really great books. Most of you that know me know that I refuse point blank to step into a Book Store, the books found inside such dens of iniquity are either over edited, under achieving New York Times Bestsellers or their fellow siblings from... EBook Review: How to Make Your Vote Count by Arthur F. WoodrowAuthors are a strange beast, many of them think bulk over quality. The likes of Tom Clancey and J. K. Rowlings go on my personal wall of shame. One of these days I am going to do a Google Maps mashup and show how much of the world's rain forests...
