From the walls of Troy to our modern world, "Horsesh*t" is a hilarious but foul-mouthed -to say nothing of politically incorrect- trip down memory lane narrated by history's most unusual witness. It combines both fact and fiction in a way that sticks to your mind like glu... okay, maybe not that. No, one hundred percent factual the book is not, and dates and figures are few and far between, but the bits of fancy that are included are easy enough to spot, and over all it is both entertaining and thoroughly researched. On the downside, unlike most history books, it won't replace your sleeping...

Cuando un arbol cae en el bosque hay alguien ahi para oirlo, y esta es su historia. "El Caminante de las Sombras" es una historia extrana acerca de una entidad cuyo unico proposito es servir como testigo, recordar a los mundos que han sido olvidados, y conservar viva la memoria de aquellas especies que, habiendo alcanzado la autoconsciencia, han dejado de existir. Es una existencia solitaria que no tiene ni principio ni fin... una que se ve interrumpida cuando el Caminante se queda varado en un mundo cuyos habitantes son literalmente alergicos a su presencia. Incapaz de seguir su marcha, al...

At last, a scale theory book that was written with students, rather than teachers, in mind
In "Scales at a Glance, Setting Music Theory on Its Ear" Clea Saal, a dyslexic who found the staff to be an incredibly frustrating device, replaces the traditionally tedious task of memorizing countless scales with an unbelievably simple visual approach, one that turns even the most complex scale structure into something that can be grasped by a student in his or her first music lesson.
Even though this book was written with beginners in mind, its approach will also bring an unexpected relief...

Those had long been two of the guiding principles in Mr. Jones's life, but when a ghost that is unlike any other crosses his path this perfectly ordinary man comes to the realization that he can no longer afford to look away. The problem is that, in his quest to find an answer to some of those questions he had never dared to ask before, he is soon confronted with the realization that the contradictions are piling up... and with the mounting evidence of the fact that, just by refusing to look...
