Experiments for Newlyweds
By Shaun Gallagher
 
3 Stars
 
50 Amazing Science Projects you can perform with your spouse.
 
I must admit the teacher in me was interested in the book, - the topic, not the cover which needs a fresher look.
 
The premise of the book is that it has different experiments that is aimed to get couples talking and sharing themselves with their partners. A noble goal that needs to be recognised and appalled.
 
As such, the book is not just for newlyweds, but for any couple.
 
Having said that, the subtitle “amazing science projects” is a bit of a letdown. They are not amazing, and rather repetitive. However the book is a different approach to get people sharing and talking.
 
A practical book, to start conversations between couples.

Stand out Networking
By Dorie Clark
 
3 Stars
 
Subtitled “A simple and authentic way to meet people on our own terms”.
 
I found the book to have a multitude of strategies to transforming contacts into business opportunities. The book contained many ideas that would result in long term benefits. It is not for the person wanting quick answers and quick business sales.
 
The book was slow in places, but serves it purpose as a tool to inform people of networking strategies well.

Friendish
By Kelly Needham
 
2 Stars
 
A few gems, but generally this is not a practical title.
 
People are hungry for real relationships and real friendships. A look on social media or the newspapers will tell us how many people are lonely, and how they are dealing with it or not. The loneliness epidemic is real and affecting individual’s wellbeing.
 
This book, written from a Christian perspective, describes the issues and attributes the cause. It outlines how loneliness is destroying relationships and lives. I felt that the strategies the book gave were not particularly helpful for either individuals or groups in dealing with the matter.
 
I felt that the book would not be helpful to those feeling lonely and does not offer great deal of practical advice for those wanting to do something about the epidemic.

3 Stars
 
This title works on the premises that humans are hardwired for liking and living through stories. That it is through stories that we can overcome obstacles.
 
The book promotes the ‘Narrative Approach’ to storytelling, which the authors promote through their communication consultancy firm. Through their services and partly through the book.
 
The book does contain several strategies to approaching and delivering storytelling.

Athens and Jerusalem
God, Humans, and Nature
by David Novak
 
4 stars.
 
This comprehensive text based on Jewish studies is a heavily researched work of a scholar.
 
It is not for the light hearted, more designed for a research student or someone wanting a deeper understanding of Jewish or Biblical principles. It will provide an in-depth and comprehensive background knowledge of the cultures and beliefs of Jewish times particularly in Israel.
 
This book explores the commonalities and common concerns that exist between philosophy and theology on metaphysical, epistemological, and ethical questions.
