Inheritance by Christopher Paolini

When it all started Eragon was only a small boy living in a ram-shack that no one outside of ten miles away had ever heard of, that is until Eragon became a dragon rider and Roran a commander in the Vardens army. It all started with Eragon(the book) now it ends with Inheritance.

I love this series and I'm kind of sad that its ending I hope that the author makes a shoot-off series about what happens after Inheritance.

The Universe in a Nutshell by Stephen Hawking

One of the most influential thinkers of our time, Stephen Hawking is an intellectual icon, known not only for the adventurousness of his ideas but for the clarity and wit with which he expresses them. In this new book Hawking takes us to the cutting edge of theoretical physics, where truth is often stranger than fiction, to explain in layman's terms the principles that control our universe.

Like many in the community of theoretical physicists, Professor Hawking is seeking to uncover the grail of science- the elusive theory of everything that lies at the heart of the cosmos. In his accessible and often playful style, he guides us on his search to uncover the secrets of the universe- from supergravity to supersymmetry, from quantum theory to M-theory, from holography to duality. He takes us to the wild frontiers of science, where super string theory and p-branes may hold the final clue to the puzzle. And he lets us behind the scenes of one of his most exciting intellectual adventures as he seeks "to combine Einsteins General Theory of Relativity and Richard Feynman's idea of multiple histories into one complete unified theory that will describe everything that happens in the universe."

With characteristic exuberance, Professor Hawking invites us to be fellow travelers on this extraordinary voyage through spacetime. Copious four color illustration help clarify this journey into a surreal wonderland where particles, sheets, and strings move in eleven dimensions, where black holes evaporate and disappear, taking their secret with them, and where the original cosmic seed from which our own universe sprang was a tiny nut.

The Universe in a Nutshell is essential reading for all of us who want to understand the universe which we live. Like its companion volume, A Brief History of Time, it conveys the excitement felt with in the scientific community as the secrets of the cosmos reveal themselves.

The people of Amara just want to be left alone, hoping the conflict will disappear.

The Zombie survival guide by Max Brooks

The Zombie survival guide by Max Brooks right now is talking about "on the run" which is when your not in a shelter of any kind and trying to get to a set destination or desired area. It gives a list of ideals that is necessary for the journey, and it is required to have a set destination in mind or else you wont have a goal to work twords and just running away instead of having an ideal place is practically suicidal.
This is a great book for many ages, (although allot of things in this book might make younger children paranoid). So if you want a good time and a sci-fi typ book, read the Zombie survival guide by Max Brooks!

Taekwon-Do

Words are inadequate to describe my feelings of jubilation on the day that Taekwon-Do was born, but at the same time I was assailed by doubts and apprehensions. How many people would actually come to recognize and understand Taekwon-Do during my life-time? It seems as though this happened only yesterday, and yet many years have passes and today Taekwon-Do is not only and official activity of CISM (Council of International Sport Military) but it is under consideration for inclusion in the International Olympic Games. All of this time has made me realize once again that the days travel with the speed of a flying arrow and the years flow like an irreversible river, but most significantly, it also proves that determination and faith can overcome any obstacle.

Yin and Yang means dark and light.

Taekwon-Do could not possibly have achieved the status it enjoys today without the tears of silent agony shed by the pioneers of Taekwon-Do who strove against all odds to introduce their art to the world.

The Tigers Wife by Téa Obreht

In a Balkan country mending from years of conflict, Natalia, a young doctor, arrives on a mission of mercy at an orphanage by the sea. By the time she and her lifelong friend Zóra begin to inoculate the children there, she feels age-old superstitions and secrets gathering everywhere around her. Secrets her outwardly cheerful hosts have chosen not to tell her. Secrets involving the strange family digging for something in the surrounding vineyards. Secrets hidden in the landscape itself.

But Natalia is also confronting a private, hurtful mystery of her own: the inexplicable circumstances surrounding her beloved grandfather’s recent death. After telling her grandmother that he was on his way to meet Natalia, he instead set off for a ramshackle settlement none of their family had ever heard of and died there alone. A famed physician, her grandfather must have known that he was too ill to travel. Why he left home becomes a riddle Natalia is compelled to unravel.

Grief struck and searching for clues to her grandfather’s final state of mind, she turns to the stories he told her when she was a child. On their weeklytrips to the zoo he would read to her from a worn copy of Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book, which he carried with him everywhere; later, he told her stories of his own encounters over many years with “the deathless man,” a vagabond who claimed to be immortal and appeared never to age. But the most extraordinary story of all is the one her grandfather never told her, the one Natalia must discover for herself. One winter during the Second World War, his childhood village was snowbound, cut off even from the encroaching German invaders but haunted by another, fierce presence: a tiger who comes ever closer under cover of darkness. “These stories,” Natalia comes to understand, “run like secret rivers through all the other stories” of her grandfather’s life. And it is ultimately within these rich, luminous narratives that she will find the answer she is looking for.

Anatomy of a War by Gabriel Kolko

I am now 3/4 the way through this book. I finally got to the chapters that talk about the vehicles and weapons used in the war. There are a few pages that give you the number of vehicals and weapons made for each side and there description. It make me sad that there are not any pictures in this part of the book but the description are down to the finest detail. Also there is a chapter on how much all the equipment cost for each country. This book also talks about the media at the time.

Bone Rattler by Elliot Pattison

Compelled by the masters of his prison company to resolve the crimes while remaining a prisoner, Duncan soon makes a fearful discovery: the violence on board is somehow linked to the savages of the American wilderness. Realizing more Scots will die if he cannot find answers, he embarks on a trail in the New York colony that thrusts him into the bloody maw of the French and Indian war. Haunted by gilt over the plight of his fellow Highlanders, terrified by the savages who seem to stalk him, Duncan must face down the tyrannical Lord Ramsey, whose frontier estate has become a heart of darkness where British soldiers, rogue Scots, French raiders, and Huron and the Iroquois warriors engaged in physical, psychological, and spiritual battle.

Encountering more murders at the edge of the frontier, Duncan is mesmerized by Lord Ramsey's beautiful daughter whose forbidden knowledge of "heathen" ways becomes a mystery as great as the killings themselves. Finally Duncan plunges into the wilderness alone, fleeing Indians and British who want him dead, knowing he and his friends will never survive unless he can discover the links between the army, renegade Scots, and Indian priests that are driving the violence.
