Nuts for Non-Fiction
As promised we have some reviews on some non-fiction titles. Enjoy!
Carl submitted the following:
“This book is about Japan`s way of life thru designs. Taking the traditional Japanese way of life which is about orderness, simplicity, Zen garden, and incorporating it in your home by simple paper, paint, bamboo, and color. Very simple: less is more concept way of living. In art or art form of the Japanese people. A cheap way to decorate one`s living area, but still the way of style or form of the Japanese people. Pictures are beautiful! Shows how to do this design in detail. I give this book 4 stars.”
“This book is on how to make your digital camera work for you in any given spot. It’s not about slr`s only digital cameras. Tom Ang shows you step by step how to bring in those pictures like you want them. I grab the book without looking at the back cover, it has 2 pages of seminude people. I would not have taken this book if I had known this. Mr. Ang or anybody else does not have to take or show nude people to demonstrate HOW to use a camera! There are plenty of other ways to do this. Mr. Ang demonstrates various settings for a camera through notes and pictures, but it’s hard to know which arrow belongs to which picture. I give this book 3 stars.”
Kelli enjoyed this one:
“Impossible to put down and an excellent book. A very inspiring true story about a fascinating World War 2 hero.”
A glowing recommendation from Valerie:
“I read this book for LLF Library's book club. I don't normally read nonfiction but I couldn't put this book down. With today's modern technology, it's hard to believe this man was able to con so many people. I'm looking forward to discussing this story with fellow readers.”
Ben submitted this review of a biography:
“I wasn't expecting the autobiography of a person whose parents committed him to a series of mental hospitals (and who was raped, drugged, and coerced into someone else's gender expectations) to be this funny. It's dark, wry humor, and the tone is often more serious, but the author's witty sense of self seems to have been refined as in a crucible by what he endured. And why did it happen? Because his parents saw him as a butch lesbian who was having a rough life as a teenager. (The author self-identified as a butch lesbian when he wrote the book, and now shares with the world his identity as a trans man.)”
Rainel reviewed the following:
The Adult Learner, Sixth Edition: The Definitive Classic in Adult Education and Human Resource Development by Malcolm S. Knowles; Richard A. Swanson; Elwood F. Holton III
"This book is covering the latest perspectives on adult learning, it contains practical information relevant to any field of education. The adult learner acquires guidelines rather than the theories of adult learning, which provides timely solutions to strengthen those who wish to transform their learning experience. I do not think this book is the last word on the subject, but consider it a valuable and useful guide to aid in the learning of adults and seniors.” The library system does not currently own this title
