Q: Title: An interesting look at the development of everyday objects Review: Things get improved because in their current form, they do not work properly. Henry Petroski's book, The Evolution of Useful Things, traces the development of objects in our everyday life, including detailed histories of the development of the staple, the zipper, silverware, and hand tools. The book is interesting, although Petroski does tend to shy away from offering a theory of development, and instead offers a conjectures about how things might have developed. He explains, but he does not offer a theory or an argument that explains everything. Overall, though, a goos book, well researched, well illustrated, and interesting on many levels.

Q: Title: Very outdated Review: I got this having read the other reviews and being relatively new to the land of buying printer/copiers. I'm not sure why this copier was so well reviewed.I am disappointed with this purchase because. . .-16pp/m is snail's pace by 2009 standards (wish I'd done that research first).-The surface glass is tiny and isn't good for anything larger than regular paper size. i.e.) try to photocopy any except small books and you can barely do two pages at a time-it won't work with Mac at all ever (called Canon)-return policy for some of these shippers is nonexistent (check first) Does this product review convey a negative or positive sentiment?

Q: Title: Not completely satisfied Review: We bought this for our two and a half year old for Christmas. He is was just beginning to learn his letters and numbers. I love the number train attachment, as does he. He responds to the questions and is beginning to learn the numbers with this. I do not like the coloring pages. I would prefer to buy a coloring book with these pages for three or four dollars instead. The sounds are too easily reset and Leap keeps changing the subject as my son colors. Also, my son may color in the wrong spot and Leap will be singing the A song while my son is coloring the B page. I wish I could have bought the number attachment separately.

Q: Title: a great book Review: "In vain did the Bedouins strive to cut down and overpower the two champions; in vain did they urge their horses to ride over them. With each sweep of his axe the king either dismounted a foe or clove in the head of his steed, and a wall of slain around them testified to the tremendous power of their arms."Winning his spurs by G.A. Henty is a well written HF story during the time of the crusades. In the story Cuthbert, a young boy of Saxon and Norman blood, along with his friend Cnut and Cnut's band of outlaws do the Earl of Evesham a great honor by saving his daughter the Lady Margaret from a nearby enemy. In return the earl takes Cuthbert on a crusade with him as his squire. As a crusader Cuthbert fights against the muslin army, saves King Richard the Lionheart, befriends a hermit, and kills an evil knight trying to steal his inheritance.I think it's a great book about the crusades and middle ages and I would recommend it to anyone who loves adventure and war.
