That's a hard question... That's a really hard question for me to answer b/c I grew up in a uber-Cold War family (my grandfather worked on the Manhattan project + a lot of other things and my father also worked in nukes). In my family WWIII and nuclear holocaust were dinner conversations when I...

The Real History of the Cold War and The Real History of the American Revolution are both highly informative (yet concise) reviews of their respective subjects that are peppered with loads images that really add meat to the text. Both books are written by Alan Axelrod, who is the author of...

It's good that they require all of that in your state, but it wouldn't have mattered in these cases b/c the problem was that the bottles were contaminated straight from the factories (several different producers). The leading hypothesis is that the diluents used to dilute the black ink to make...

I like it. Here are a few minor edits, for what they're worth (which may not be much--I write prose). To tell my life story, like a flooded quarry; full of stones, full of gold, few moments new, few moments old. To outline it in words, let them fly free like...

Might I humbly suggest... Might I humbly suggest myself as the next James Bond (joking guys, joking!). btw, I think that Sean Connery was the best.

What does "Occlith" mean? What does "Occlith" mean (googled it without much success)?

Great Thread I don't have anything to add that hasn't already been said, but I just wanted to state that the discussion in this thread is one of the better ones that I have ever seen. I really enjoyed reading it. Dr. Leonardo Noto

Thanks Thanks, I wasn't complaining, just wanted the correct book to be reflected in the title. I wasn't aware that that was actually a rule--now I know.

Great Great, I hope you enjoy it! Don't worry, I won't bug you b/c I didn't even know that you were an Indie Reviewer (I just know you as a B&R member). With that said, I would love for you (and everyone else) who reads it to leave a review if you have the time! Dr. Leonardo Noto...

A few pointers Yeah, it needs work, but that doesn't mean that you suck--what it does mean is that you need to do some work to get to where you want to be. The following are some good self-improvement writing resources that I have personally found useful (for what it's worth): How to Write...
