"Sam Harris is one of the leading proponents of what has been dubbed the 'New Atheist Movement', in good company with the likes of Richard Dawkins, Penn Teller, Lawrence Krauss and the late Christopher Hitchens--not even a movement, per say, but rather a like-minded bunch of non-believers who just happen to feel the same about religion, whether it be through their intellectual reason, their scie..

"... また共同研究者も、実際、USAMRIID で Ebola virusを用いた研究をおこなっており、そのdataを見ながらのdiscussionを行ったこともあるので、この本が、これ以上ないほど適切に、しかも冷静に、Hot virusの研究の一面を切り取っている事がよくわかる。まず、これから本書を読もうとする読者にはっきりと伝えておきたいことは、これは、（脚色なしの）完全な現実であること。そして、このような自然との驚異に立ち向かっている、名もない多くの研究者がいるという事を知ってもらいたい。Bio-safety level 3の研究でも、私の場合は完治を可能にする薬剤のないvirusを研究対象にしているため、研究を初めて最初の一年は、半年おきに、行われる、血液検査を見るのが怖くて..." "私はTOEIC500点代と英語力もありませんが何というか文が癖が無く非常に読みやすい。知..

"Great story and clever running of the past and present alongside each other and still maintain attention for both stories. I am normally wary of stories that try to interweave past and present pleased to say that Chad succeeded where others fail. A clever plot well written with characters that were real. Great opening that captured the reader's attention I certainly read well past my normal bea..

"...I have enjoyed the first 2 titles very much. The characters are well-developed, likable and believable. Young Meg Corey moves into her mother’s inherited 200 year old colonial house in Granford, Massachusetts. Meg has just left her Boston city life and banking job and ended a relationship. Her mother (who does not make an appearance in the first 2 titles except for very short phone calls) th..

"This is the first book in the Museum Mystery series and as someone who loves antiques and museums, I was really excited about this book, but I really struggled to get into it. Nell is a fundraiser at the Pennsylvania Antiquarian Society and hours before a large event, she is cornered by Marty, a Board Member, who says that part of her family’s legacy is missing. Soon Nell discovers that there i..

"中東と思われる名前が不明の国に住む若い男女Saeed（サイード）とNadia（ナディア）は、夜間のビジネス・スクールで出会った。保険会社に勤務するナディアは全身を覆う黒い衣装を身に着けているが、それは身を守るためであり、宗教的ではないと言う。広告代理店勤務のサイードは、そんなミステリアスなナディアに恋心を抱く。いっぽう、政府軍と宗教右派ゲリラの間の争いは激しさを増し、無実の者が処刑されたり、住処が破壊されたりするようになっていた。その最中でも、サイードとナディアは、ふつうの若者たちのようにデートを続ける。だが、二人が務めていた職場が閉鎖し、インターネットや電話もつながらないようになり、家族と絶縁しているナディアはサイードの両親の家に同居することになった。サイードは結婚したがるが、ナディアは躊躇する。内戦が深刻になるなか、世界中で、空間をショートカットする扉が開く異常現象が起きていた。..

"Firstly, I have to say that this isn't the sort of book that I normally read, but I was curious as I vaguely know the area that it's set in. A quick glance at the cover lead me to think that this was 'Midsomer' in West Cork - it was a bit, but I finished it which for me means that I must have enjoyed it. The obvious tension between American and Irish terms was quite amusing (acknowledged by the..
