During 1947, Bill toured the United States and Canada drumming up support for the 12 Traditions. The membership, not aware of the wide range of problems the New York Office had been addressing since AA became popular in the early 1940s, often saw no need for the Traditions.

Well, what can I say. The book was better than the movie, that's about all...

Pulp Physics
Reviewed: 11-20-06
This is a quick and dirty intro in general physics for us who never took Physics in school. Now at 54 I am taking college classes in Math, AstroPhysics, Physics as a hobby and it adds to my Hobby of Astronomy. Pulp Physics got me ready for the class enviorment and found I was a step ahead of the "younger" members of the classe.

Return to the earliest days of Pernese history with these short stories, which describe the colonization of the planet (the original survey team named the planet P.E.R.N. - "Parallel Earth, Resources Negligible"). In "The Dolphins' Bell," the colonists must seek the aid of talking dolphins to help them evacuate the Southern Continent following a volcanic eruption. The Dragonriders expand into a second weyr after destroying Thread before it can fall to ground in "The Second Weyr." Other stories include "Rescue Run," "The Survey PERNc," and "The Ford of Red Hanrahan."

I first read these books while in the Army overseas. To listen to them on on iPod in my Truck and at night as I go to sleep brings back a lot of memories. I have always love Anne McCaffery's writing. She gets you so involved you think you are there on Pern fighting the Thread.

This is a great look to the history of some of the greatest minds in this and last century. It shows the falibility of of the human mind but where one falls short another takes over and expands on the theory of Unifacation, Black Holes and the Birth of the Universe. A great listen.

Quantum physics is an astounding (and mind-boggling) field of science, but can you actually use it to change your life? Absolutely yes, says Dr. Quantum. On A User's Guide to Your Universe, Dr. Quantum, who goes by day as mild-mannered physicist Dr. Fred Alan Wolf, teaches that anyone can understand quantum physics. What's more, it is the most useful, immediate, and relevant kind of science you can learn to profoundly affect your day-to-day life.

Don't Waste Your Money On This Book!!!
Reviewed: 08-22-06
I thought I was getting a up to date explaination in layman's terms of Quantum Mechanics and Relativity. Instead I get what sounds like a Tao/Buddist/Eastern Philosophy on Life in the Universe. This is not for someone interested in Physics. If you want to know someone's idea of where you fit in the Universe this is your book.
A wasted Credit for me....
