I was 14. This was the book that turned me on to reading and started my path to discovery.

I WAS Howard Roark. Security for a budding sense of individuality and independence. The perfect book to shore-up the fragile personality of a 16-yr. old who was not understood by his peers - but who knew he was right.

Windows for the mind. It still works for me.

One of the greatest character studies ever written. The same spirit of individuality and independence found in Ayn Rand's Roark.

His writing style infected mine for nearly a decade. The best of the travel-as-adventure tomes.

On the surface, the story of the discovery of the ancient city of Troy. In reality, a book of Love: Love of Mate; Love of Life's Calling; Love of Life. Its a treasure.

The first book to provide us common folk with a grasp of the enormity of the universe and its complex structure.

The only legitimate, science-based fiction on the possibility (reality) of extraterrestrial intelligence. They do not look like us, think like us or in any sense exist like us. But they DO exist. And we’ll never encounter them!

Another Everyman explanation of complex physics. Nearly a knockout in the debate between Quantum Mechanics and SuperString Theory. Hawking’s concepts were in retreat during the frenzy of investigation of SuperString Theory as embodying the true Grand Unified Theory, but in the early 2000s, solid proof that SST produced an infinite number of universes has caused the physics world to return to Hawking’s belief that the path of discovery lies in Quantum Loop Gravity.

No fiction here - The most comprehensive advanced-layman book on SuperString Theory and life in ten dimensions and beyond.  Concluding with the hard scientific evidence that unless there are radical changes in our lives globally, life on this planet will cease to exist within 60 years - No scare tactics, no hyperbole, just facts.

Finally! A book that opens up this great man’s life for us to examine as it actually was. We don’t think of him as a widower caring for six  children, having to cook over an open fire because he had no stove, carrying buckets of water because he couldn’t afford indoor plumbing. He was saddled with lazy, inept musicians who were uninterested in his perfectionist goals. He was a volatile man who got into a street brawl. He was surrounded by haughty, pretentious power mongers who had no clue of his true worth. This is the real J.S.Bach - the person we have never known. This book is a page turner that debunks all other biographies, most notably those considered to be “bibles.” Eidam eviscerates the standard reference books by citing actual fact and illuminates Bach’s life as no one ever has. Having read this book, I cannot wrap my head around how Bach managed to write the music he did. It is astonishing.
