Outside of my own field of expertise I am very interested in literature, consumer electronics, entrepreneurship (especially the high-tech kind), philosophy, religion and politics. I enjoy reviewing books that I have read and I am especially happy to share my impressions of the products that I have used with others.
I regularly get a lot of requests for reviews, but am unfortunately not able to take a look at most of them. Due to a couple of bad experiences I will only consider reviewing books that I already have a sense that I might enjoy reading. In general I DO NOT review self-help/inspirational/motivational books. If I am not interested in reviewing your book or other product, I will probably not e-mail you back.
I also enjoy getting feedback on my reviews, so please feel free to write to me and tell me what you think.

If you are on Google+, I have recently started a community there called "Reader, Writer, Reviewer Co-op." Look for it there. This is a great place for new writers to work with each others on getting more Amazon reviews.

As a longtime fan of Apple's products, I've read a lot about this iconic company over the years. Apple's willingness to break with the traditions is legendary, and it's this revolutionary aspect of its products that has earned it the iconoclastic reputation that it has. Most of this revolutionary zeal, and Apple's overall approach to business, was, of course, based in the particular vision of Steve Jobs, its founder and the CEO during some of the company's most successful days. My own understanding of Apple's esthetic and business approach was too based on numerous articles and books on Steve Jobs that I've read over the years. However, with his passing, the questions of how well will the… Read more

Roman Empire is one of the most iconic, powerful, and influential empires in history. Its immediate influence on the course of European and Mediterranean history is self evident, but it's the influence that it exerts on the politics and culture to this day that makes it remarkable, and almost unique, in the World history. This short introduction is in a way a companion to the Roman Republic volume in this OUP series. Unlike that book, this one is decidedly less chronological in its treatment. It focuses more on certain themes that have been prevalent throughout the course of Roman Empire - the overwhelming and brutal power of the state, the rise of Christianity, the Gladiatorial… Read more

I've been a big fan of Dr. Seuss' books and characters for a long time. I did not grow up with these books (I did not grow up in an English speaking country), but ever since I was exposed to them I embraced with enthusiasm his zany and, yes, wacky sense of humor and appreciation for playful oddities. Now that I am a parent I have been buying his book with relish and enthusiasm, and exposing our little boy to them from the earliest age. "Wacky Wednesday" is perhaps one of Dr. Seuss' most "challenging" and educational books. In addition to the playful and repetitive rhymes, the illustrations themselves pose a little challenge of discovering the discrepancies between what we would… Read more
