This Asia's CD is full of them. It is a classic , greatly sounding rock with a perfect set of catchy and extremely melodious songs.

Coincidentally I read this book during the Jodi Arias trial in Phoenix, Arizona, and I could learn and compare it with happenings, investigation and 'law & justice' system development in England at that time. This is a twisted, not easy flowing, often grim story of many people (indeed, we are provided with plenty of details about life of middle class families along the way,) nevertheless having few surprising twists. If you manage to reach the mid point of this volume, the second half becomes truly engrossing

Purchased two of them to replace old B&D models (batteries would not hold the charge after 4 years of daily usage). The design is different, but bigger power and same if not better suction. It has a brush (important), because I use it mostly for vacuuming places where my cats sleep/rest, bed sheets, chairs, sofas and bad carpets/doormats. These are the targets, this vacuum has been designed for, and it works great.

I am truly dissatisfied about this product. It is a nice artful packing, music is great. Weton sings the hell out of his lungs, Howe plays beautiful acoustic, songs are melodious..but the most important thing: SOUND..is muffled (though DVD sounds better). How for Cri-sake, somebody allowed this to happen?

and nicely selected set of diversified exercises how to approach chords with different patterns of picking. Several short and longer melodies/songs are introduced as well, some in the end are quite demanding and require plenty of practicing. Strongly recommended as an addition to Mark Hanson's lessons!

...in modern theoretical cosmology..lets face it. What I mean is that 'from' implies 'beginning'. Since last several years new models indicate cyclical, ethernal Universe (good examples are suggested by Roger Penrose or Paul Steinhardt/Neil Turok).
Stating this, Krauss book is OK, writing style is fine. We have in it compressed explanation of history, discoveries like acceleration and how Universe may end (though this is much better presented in "The Five Ages of the Universe - inside the physics of eternity" by Fred Adams). Krauss book is for specific type of laymen/masses, for those who have long experience reading such books. For somebody who jumped into Krauss book first time, without reading better and more approachable cosmology books and without following development in cosmology/particles over the years, his text is painful. On the other hand
to explain everything mentioned in the book would require large and tedious volume, author obviously made many short cuts to avoid it and I see it as a positive.
For example, he does not go into describing exactly what is the Plank Time. He does not bother to mention that BOOMERANG/WMAP graph (p.52)at large angular scales seems less powerful than EXPECTD by the theoretical curve.
And we have of course a HUGE semantic controversy about 'nothing'. This has been commented at large under numerous reviews on Amazon.com, but I will mention just one example: "..the energy of empty space cannot be physically infinite.."
(p.71). If we have energy in space, that means space is not empty, because we all know that mass is a 'frozen' energy. I am still not sure about idea "from nothing" (the same concern was expressed in 2006 by famous John Archibald Wheeler), but author admits that nothing = 'almost nothing' (p.148) - fine with me.

Krauss surprised me with his smart description of virtual particles and why they exists. Finally Krauss changes his mind about strings ! His criticism , content of his "Hiding in the Mirror" has vanished. He admits that multiverse is viable alternative! So how is it professor?

General conclusion: this would be a 3* book (at lest for me) if not large numbers of pages where Church, Pope, God, Creator and religion are mentioned. Totally unnecessary. Hitchens (uneducated addict..hope he rests in piece) and neo-darwinist Dawkins, were/are Krauss best pals? It frustrates. I do not like NEO-S. Dawkins' way of thinking should be subjected to scientific research according to Australian philosopher David Stove who is probably agnostic and represents 'inductive scepticism' views (check Wiki for David Stove). I like TOLERANCE, let people live and let them believe in what they want.

I keep "Hiding in the Mirror" on my shelf among others pop cosmo-science books. "A Universe from Nothing" will be returned to my local library. No 'money for nothing, chicks.. they may be for free' (Dire Straits). Thank you for reading, now you may plonk me.

I have not hear from WA since long time..and now this !!
Fantastic come back rock album by them. Every track is a unique, enjoyable, blues (more or less)chord sequence. If you liked old WA do not hesitate and buy this one.

Amazon disappears rapidly. One day somebody will probably find bones and things belonging to Percy Fawcett, his son and his companion.
Absolutely engrossing history, page turner 100% about brave, good, but obsessed and desperate for funds explorer who followed his instinct to the bitter end compromising his beloved wife Nina and son. It is also a history of Amazon River land and natives who inhabited Amazonian and who are still there trying to survive onslaught of modern civilization.
Every fragment of this book is perfectly written, no boring sections. Author put enormous effort to research all possible documents about missing explorers and got personally involved into investigation!
There are plenty of webpages dedicated to Colonel Percy Fawcett and modern archeology confirming his theory. The VERY OLD ancient 'mysterious' culture developed in Amazon very long time ago (possibly as early as 15-10,000 year ago) before Clovis. Archaeologists have to readdress the question of early man migration patterns in Americas and they do it (see the 2011 December issue of Scientific American magazine). This is described also in the end of the book. They were building the cities! They were creating large swatches of fertile 'black' soil rich for planting. Supporters of 'Ancient Alien Question' have their take on it, but I am sceptical (check my review on "Ancient Alien Question" by Philip Coppens). The earliest conquistadors saw glimpses of this civilization, but by the time they were able to penetrate the rain forest again the people were all but gone and the jungle quickly reclaiming the land.
Great, I repeat phenomenal work by David Grann !

I have read von Daniken and Charles Berlitz ("The Bermuda Triangle") in 70es. And now this -interesting and well written book. But be careful, keep your mind cool and on alert.

It is not without reason that Coppens is described as 'yes/no' skeptic. He cleverly juggles between many different and strange facts and non-facts, myths, stories, suggestions and controversies. Some of them are legitimate, some just plain stupid not possible to be taken seriously. Some of them are debunked and some investigative writers on the subject as well (just to mention Nasca 'airport' and certain Zecharia Sitchin's conclusions) - good work.

Text flows nicely (including very good chapter 7 ('Alien DNA, Earthly Life') and makes certain sense until we hit chapter 8 ('Evidence of Nonphysical Contact'), where black hole of nonsense without any credibility waits for us. It is great though, that author mentiones Paul Davis (read his great book about 'are we alone in the Universe?' titled "The Earie Silence") and his large support for "Panspermia Theory".
This theory is running quite strong now (google: 'Origins Project Arizona State University')

Taking the above aside, among many interesting constructions - Puma Punku and Coral Castle triggered my attention. For example I would like to know who was the truck driver transferring huge blocks of Castle's rocks and supposedly stating that something impossible happened at that time. No name provided.
One may read, verify or improve his knowledge about almost every 'magic' group of megaliths, monuments, construction or pyramids by searching Internet. I do not agree with the author that, modern science is so much ignorant about their whereabouts.

I completely do not understand why A.A would be so much interested in erecting huge stone constructions all over the world and in different times. I do not believe that A.A would fly primitive aeroplanes (looking like plains from WWII) - suggestion based on artifacts found in Columbia. I have many more doubts.

Besides, we encounter incorrect or misleading/confusing messages from Mr. Coppens. For example, where did he learn that Darwin 'proposed that life begun in a warm little pond somewhere'? Darwin is about evolution , not about the beginning of life.
He confuses me about pyramids in Egypt. On one page 92 we read about granite, than on page 93 it changes into limestone. We encounter twice Mayan Calendar and its suggested meaning for December 12th 2012, but each time it is different. First it is just meaningless 'end of the cycle' (beginning of The Fifth World), then later it is interpreted as a sinister and bad time on Earth (apocalypse and war between deities).

In summary: after reading "AAQ", one may either discard or accept this idea. As for me, facing so many controversial segments within this book, I remine only slightly convinced.

..music on this CD is even better than 'Metropolis Part 2'.
DT deviated on these two albums from the style established on "Images and Worlds".
"Metropolis" and "The Dramatic Turn.." are the most beautiful examples of 'melodic - sympho -neo-prog -conceptual' music !!
