| 1. |  | A Secular Age from Belknap Press Price: $26.37 Customer Review:  An exhaustive, very learned string of reviews on Taylor's study can be found at "The Immanent Frame" ([...]), a blog maintained by the Social Science Research Council (SSRC). After all that has been said, I will only add that Taylor's book is work of synthetic and imaginative genius. It offers... |

| 2. |  | Police Administration: Structures, Processes, and Behavior (7th Edition) from Prentice Hall Price: $71.37 Customer Review:  Too much informatoin crammed into one resource. Their are some opinions in here disguished as facts. Becareful. I wouldn't buy it, but I needed it for class. Has some decent information in it. |

| 3. |  | The Kingfisher Science Encyclopedia from Kingfisher Price: $16.47 Customer Review:  We purchased this book to use as a reference for homeschooling. It is a good reference book to get a glimpse of information on many different topics. The illustrations are beautiful. The downside to this book is that it treats evolution as a fact. Evolution is a theory that has yet to be... |

| 4. |  | Sources of the Self: The Making of the Modern Identity from Harvard University Press Price: $23.85 Customer Review: Charles Taylor is among the most learned of contemporary philosophers, and has the gift of taking a familiar story or idea from the history of philosophy and giving it new life, allowing it to reveal insights that are both unfamiliar but become obvious once stated. Reading "The Sources of the Self"... |

| 7. |  | The Ethics of Authenticity from Harvard University Press Price: $22.00 Customer Review: Charles Taylor focuses on three malaises of modernity in this short book. The first is individualism, which comprises a set of liberties and beliefs having to do with the privilege of the individual to determine his or her course of life. Taylor thinks individualism has removed us from concerns... |

| 8. |  | Modern Social Imaginaries (Public Planet) from Duke University Press Price: $17.95 Customer Review: I'm glad Taylor wrote this short, concise book. His book Sources of the Self, a long tour through modern Western ideas of the human individual and their implications for moral philosophy, is wonderful and illuminating; but you don't always want to read 800 pages. So this book has the virtue of... |

| 9. |  | The Skilled Pastor: Counseling As the Practice of Theology from Augsburg Fortress Publishers Price: $10.88 Customer Review: I enjoyed Charles Taylor's book and learned a great deal. While based on Scripture, Taylor's book gives concrete examples of what to do and what to avoid when counseling. His use of this teaching method made things very clear for me. |

| 10. |  | Varieties of Religion Today: William James Revisited (Institute for Human Sciences Vienna Lecture Series) from Harvard University Press Price: $12.60 Customer Review:  For style and clarity, Taylor is no match for William James. I would advise anyone who hasn't read James yet to get a copy from their local library. Update? Hardly. James is the deeper thinker and a far better writer. |

| 13. |  | Internal Combustion Engine in Theory and Practice: Vol. 2 - 2nd Edition, Revised: Combustion, Fuels, Materials, Design from The MIT Press Price: $55.80 Customer Review: The other reviewers have extolled the engineering strengths of this book so I won't go over old ground yet again. The book has exceeded my expectations in virtually all respects. It is an absolute bedrock foundation in ICEs. It will help you to answer questions you already had about ICEs and it will... |

| 14. |  | Hegel from Cambridge University Press Price: $35.99 Customer Review: Since I'm not half through, I wouldn't be reviewing this if anyone else had stepped up. I'm enjoying the book. Hegel's been a sore spot ever since the seminar on the "Phenomenology of Spirit" where I felt like a complete illiterate trying to read him (in translation no less). Since... |

| 19. |  | Hegel and Modern Society (Modern European Philosophy) from Cambridge University Press Price: $31.49 Customer Review: The book does deserve five stars--but there is a need to call attention to the preface of "Hegel and Modern Society," which is absent from the free, searchable content available here. Professor Taylor candidly puts it, in the preface, that this book is substantially the same as the various chapters... |

| 20. |  | The Disenchantment of the World from Princeton University Press Price: $22.45 Customer Review: French thought, killed by Foucault, Derrida, Lacan and the Postmodern gang, appears resurrected by the likes of Gauchet. In physics the most deeply piercing ideas are the simplest, and in the form of seemingly unrelated phenomena - gravity seen as geometry for example. Gauchet's ideas are like this.... |

This work extends his critique of christianity, along with providing glimpses of how we may pick up where he left off. He spoke truth when few listened.

| 23. |  | Such Stuff As Dreams Are Made On : The Autobiography and Journals of Helen M. Luke from Morning Light Press Customer Review: I found the autobiographical section of this book a little hard to follow. Could not understand how her life was structured, timeline-wise, and what actually happened. The journal section is clearer and more accessible. How do devoted Jungians find time to pursue all these symbols and... |

| 26. |  | The Oxford Children's Book of Science from Oxford University Press, USA Customer Review: When I received the Oxford Book of Science, my first impression was that, though beautifully produced and illustrated, it would be too demanding for children in the 9-12 age group. I was wrong. My nine-year old son has been avidly reading this book for weeks, along with his copy of The New Way... |

| 27. |  | What If...?: Amazing Stories from Tundra Books Price: $6.95 Customer Review: A what-if book should have really intriguing what-ifs for the writers in the book to work from (or should at least collect intriguing tales of the sort). It's not good enough to get decent writers...the what-ifs have to be ultimately compelling as well. They, more often than not, are the root of the... |
