        Hayduke is great. You can't go wrong with this stuff. Trust me, I've used some of it. He's great!

        5 out of 5 stars Evil Doers - Beware!.......2001-08-04

        If you think you are being singled out by many of the people around you - try and remember what you might have done to them. They maybe out to make you pay for their discomfort. Well, if they have read one of Hayduke's books - you are in big trouble.

        My copy of this book has many of the pages dog-eared, for quick re-reads. Only for entertanment purposes only. (But I am ready to act if I have to.)

          5 out of 5 stars The Most Convincing Argument.......2001-06-05

          I have never thought possible that thought experiments can guide us through a philosophical adventure in such an exciting manner. Zhai's argument that most of cognitive scientists have committed a "Fallacy of Unity Projection" is right to the point and seems to me to have conclusively ruled out the possibility of Strong AI. I agree with the previous reviewer that the argument against Strong AI in Zhai's book is carefully crafted and has the first two chapters prepare the way for it. I would like to see more of the discussion of the implications of VR for the foundation of civilization, though.

          5 out of 5 stars I meant to rate it 5 star.......1999-10-27

          I wondered why my review was cut. I said chapters 1 and 2 prepare the starting point for the discussion of Strong AI in chapter 4, and that further invalidates Tosh's comments.

          1 out of 5 stars Utter tosh........1999-09-17

          I'm sorry. Just don't waste your time.

          I know giving just one example doesn't perhaps sound very convincing on it's own. But here it is: he thinkshe can debunk the whole idea of AI in a matter of a few lines, literally - when the brilliant Roger Penrose has spent two books trying to very carefully show what is wrong with the AI project and what still needs to be discovered in Physics. Zhai doesn't seem to realise that in his"argument", he has assumed the very thing he is trying to prove.

          Moreover, he doesn't credibly single out what makes machines different from people, which Penrose is at pains to do, very carefully. Penrose leaves open the possibility that we might succeed at AI if we understand the amazing and mysterious laws at work in the human brain - if indeed there are laws operating at all - they would have to be quite unlike any other physical law we know of now, including the weirdest of quantum mechanical laws. Zhai slams the door shut completely, with no appreciation for the benefits and power of science.

          Believe me, I'm not rejecting this book because I didn't understand it. On the contrary, what little I read was trifilingly easy to understand, but clearly full of holes. The author simply does not know how to string together a coherent argument.

            4 out of 5 stars General Overview for eBay begginers.......2007-01-10

            Overall this book was an easy read. The information is marginally useful. I would not say it is the best book on ebay selling, but there are bits of advice that I found useful. What I think lacked attention was the section on getting inventory, there just wasn't enough sources.
            However the book does give advice on going legite and all the paper work you need to complete.
            It is a good general book for starting, but not the only one you will need to run an eBay business.

                    What do Superman, the Manhattan Project, and Star Trek's "Live long and prosper" hand sign have in common? They're all deeply rooted in the American Jewish experience, which is exhaustively documented in the American Jewish Desk Reference. Over 600 pages of timelines, biographies, and encyclopedia-style essays encompass the broad scope of hundreds of years of Jews and Judaism in the United States. Organized into sections including "Judaism and Community in America," "Sports and Games," and "Language and Literature," the book presents its subjects alphabetically or chronologically (in the history section), making particular entries simple to find.

                    The more than 700 entries tell about the first bat mitzvah in 1922, the American response to the Six Days War, and great Jewish basketball player Dolph Schayes. Plenty of photographs from the American Jewish Historical Society illustrate the life stories and historical essays, and add a visual sense of the spirit of life to the well-chosen words. The history section is both concise and comprehensive, beginning with Joachim Gaunse's 1588 arrival on Roanoke Island and closing--for the moment--with the 1999 opening of the Center for Jewish History in New York. Be warned: It's very hard to keep from browsing, so if you need information in a hurry you'll have to struggle to focus. On the other hand, browsing the American Jewish Desk Reference brings so much pleasure you might find yourself learning more than you intended. --Rob Lightner

                    Book Description

                    From the Foremost Archive of the American Jewish Experience, the First All-Encompassing Reference to Jewish Life in the United States, from 1654 to the Present

                    This authoritative reference of nearly 900 entries covers all aspects of America's lively and influential Jewish culture--history, religion, rituals, family life, law, politics, business, education, music and the arts, sports, entertainment, books, language, science, and more. It is at once an indispensable resource, the perfect gift for every bar/ bat mitzah, graduation, and wedding, and a book that every Jew and many non-Jews will want close at hand. American Jewish Desk Reference brings together the events, personalities, themes and issues of contemporary Jewish life in the United States on a scope never attained before in a single volume. It's brimming with in-depth essays on significant topics and compelling biographies of hundreds of prominent American Jewish personalities. Their achievements and contributions to all walks of life are here, from Bella Abzug, Mortimer Adler, and Woody Allen, to Elie Wiesel, Henny Youngman, and Florenz Ziegfeld.

                    Effortless to use and a delight to both casual browsers and serious researchers, the book features:

                      Convenient chronological or alphabetical organization
                      Entries on over 500 influential Jewish Americans, over 100 topic essays, and well over 200 key historical events.
                      Over 100 black-and-white photographs from the American Jewish Historical Society, as well as private collections.
                      Fascinating sidebars, statistics, anecdotes and kernels of American Jewish lore that will surprise and delight even the most knowledgeable reader.

                    4 out of 5 stars Great, but where are the rabbis?.......2000-01-17

                    While I agree with many of the positive comments made about this book, there are, of course, many omissions. Decisions about what to include or exclude in such a book will never satisfy everyone. My search for mention and discussion of several prominent Rabbis of the 20th century (e.g., R. Telushkin, R. Riemer, R. Schulweis, R. Wolpe) yielded no mention. Dr. Ruth, however, has a very nice photo!

                    5 out of 5 stars Comprehensive Reference Tool.......1999-12-01

                    For anyone seeking information on Judaism in the United States, whether it be personal biographies, individual accomplishments, events, themes, or contemporary issues, this work will provide an answer. It covers almost every aspect of Jewish culture, including family life, religion, politics, entertainment, education, the humanities, sports, history, rituals, science and language. There are also a number of in-depth essays, written by experts and with accompanying citations for further reading. Also included are over 100 photographs from the American Jewish Historical Society, and countless sidebars with interesting statistical and other tidbits of information. A full analytical index and a detailed table of contents provide easy access to needed information. All in all, a wonderfully comprehensive work that should prove a fine addition to any personal library.
