I hark, hark(!) for anthologies of essays on interesting topics, even if reading and reviewing them as a group at times seems impossible.

1.5 stars. This book isn't very helpful for those of us who are completely unhandy and unfamiliar with the basics - I think caulking got a couple sentences at most. I've had far better luck getting the sort of detailed info I need from googling. (Apparently painters tape is the secret to professiona...

This is a good book for anyone who wants to know anything and everything about the nervous system and ideas of prevention of disease.

Lovely book. Informative with maps and pictures. Might be a little outdated by now though.
