Dr Burton said that we should NOT do a Book Report, but a Book Review is fine - um... what's the difference?! Here is a good overview of the differences.
The Harvard Classics as free online open source books. They were advertised that, if read, they would provide an excellent Liberal Arts education.
Some are simply selections of the whole books - but it is certainly a good overview! I think that I would prefer to read the whole books, though!
Although this is limited in page views, it has a great introduction. I read this book for my colloquium Honors Biology class with Dr. Evans. Our whole them revolved around evolution and this book was very logical and concise. An excellent read.
For those who shudder in fear or flee because of boredom when faces with the subject of economics, then this book is for you! this book breaks down economics in a gloriously simple and fun way.
Revisiting the phenomenon of digitizing the world's books. This draws attention to metadata issues, which is good. Google should have a system for crowdsourcing error correction as Mozilla does with Bugzilla.
Just a compilation of book reviews for "The Origin of Species" from Amazon.com. However, they are good reviews that explain some of the things that Darwin discussed in his book.
(also part of the Harvard Classics) this book is actually Charles Darwin's journal when he traveled the world for 5 years, and visited places like the Galapagos Island, where he formulated much of his theory of hte Origin of the species.
The American Practical Navigator
Great stuff, if you've ever had an inkling of an interest in sailing, oceans, weather, etc!
Read the Juvinile Fiction book, "Carry On, Mr. Bowditch" to understand what this is all about - an old neighbor (a Navy Submariner) told me that this book is part of the standard library on every Navy vessel! VERY interesting browsing, this!
Social reading -- sounds exciting. I've been thinking how cool it would be to have a class group textbook online. SO like you go online to yoru textbook for your class and you can see what other classmates have highlighted and commented on and tagged and add your own thoughts to the discussion. They can link to their blog posts about a subject in teh book that they did expanded self-directed learning on or just that they thought about more, etc. Sounds SUPER cool, huh? (ok ok, I'll blog about it)
This is an open source wiki-like record of (eventually) all books ever published. I stumbled across it while looking for information about a book for another class. Interesting.
