Colleen, I found your post fascinating! I look or try to read technical stuff--even the titles of the O'Reilly books--and my brain shuts down. Unfortuately, the same is true of scientific information unless it is described really, really simply. I may get the just-added economics book from my library in hopes that I can understand economics though I think I may have read that book or one like it years ago. I'm surprised as many of you are interested in the O'Reilly books as are. I knew some were and other not, so I separated the books-added lists I sent out--I did send both to everyone but I put the O'Reilly books on a separate list so that those who weren't interested wouldn't have to wade through that list to get to the others that were added the other day. Jim, I have that list if you want me to send it to you, but you're probably already searched the collection by publisher--or don't books show up in a bunch that way? They all have different authors and titles. Cindy To unsubscribe from this list send a blank Email to bksvol-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put the word 'unsubscribe' by itself in the subject line.
