Brain, Vision, Memory: Tales in the History of Neuroscience (Bradford Books) by Charles G. Gross

"Gross's tales of the history of neuroscience can be warmly recommended to all students of the brain, but especially to those who believe that history began when they were undergraduates. Informative and amusing in equal part, Gross is as fair to those who were wildly wrong as to those who were (relatively) right. . . . Never less than fascinating." -- John C. Marshall, Nature
 
Charles G. Gross is an experimental neuroscientist who specializes in brain mechanisms in vision. He is also fascinated by the history of his field. In these engaging tales describing the growth of knowledge about the brain--from the early Egyptians and Greeks to the Dark Ages and the Renaissance to the present time--he attempts to answer the question of how the discipline of neuroscience evolved into its modern incarnation through the twists and turns of history.

This book contains 10, 90-minute IQ tests, each containing 40 questions, but you won't be able to determine your IQ. The author states in the introduction, "The tests that follow have been newly compiled for this book and are not, therefore, standardised, so an actual IQ assessment cannot be given." Then what is the purpose of the book? Based on the number of questions answered correctly, you can determine if you are Exceptional (36-40 correct), Excellent (31-35 correct), Very good (25-30 correct), Good (19-24 correct) or Average (14-18 correct). If you are looking to determine your IQ, you will have to find a different book. Comment adapted from Amazon's web site.

Selling Books on Amazon [Dan Morrill]

Many people want to work out a method on how to accomplish financial freedom, and while books might seem like a contradictory way of accomplishing financial freedom is a world where physical items are changing in favor of digital delivery, books are still popular. Books have been with us since we started recording information on clay tablets, and it is unlikely that the joy of holding a book in someone‘s hands is going to go away. There is always a compelling reason to own a book, that is a book‘s enduring quality and the reason why selling books can be profitable. 

Many people promise to help you make millions on the internet, and have the life style of the rich and famous. The good thing about pitches like this is that they are obviously too good to be true. The reality of selling books on line as an independent store is to know that you are only going to get out of this what you have the time and money to put into this. Realistically though, making money in selling books, or indeed anything, is not going to happen overnight for anyone, even with minimal work, there are still things you will need to do. Even if part time, there will be time spent on prepping, shipping, handling, buying, and selling books on Amazon.
