So many had given their lives to save him -- and he would have readily done the same for them.

There, in six months of high-intensity urban combat, he would be part of what has been called the greatest victory in the history of U.S. Special Operations forces. We also return to Afghanistan and Operation Redwing, where Luttrell offers powerful new details about his miraculous rescue. Throughout, he reflects on what it really means to take on a higher calling, about the men he's seen lose their lives for their country, and the legacy of those who came and bled before.

The book then shows functional circuits that you can build to create light and sound, leading to a plan for a simple intrusion alarm.Platt includes three chapters explaining how to solder wires and build a permanent circuit. However, the skill of soldering is not essential for other projects in the book.You learn all about integrated circuit chips: how they work, what they do, how they are identified, and where you can buy them. Build your own oscillator and one shot circuits, and learn how to chain timer chips together.A simple circuit can test the speed of your reflexes. Other circuits include a combination lock for a computer, or a game in which players compete to be the first to press a button. There is a novel, simplified circuit to build electronic dice.",
"Make: Electronics",

Finally, three chapters explain microcontrollers, with projects that can use an Arduino.A shopping guide will minimize your investment in parts for the projects. Alternatively, kits from independent vendors contain exactly the parts that you need.",

"Written during the Meiji Period, the pivotal period in the history of Modern Japan, its unique work offers a fascinating view of Japanese women and girls at the turn of the century. A the author writes in her preface \"While Japan as a whole has been closely studied, and while much and varied information has been gathered about the country and its people, one half of the population has been left entirely unnoticed, passed over with brief mention, or altogether misunderstood. It is of this neglected half that I have written, in the hope that the whole fabric of Japanese social life will be better comprehended when the women of the country, as so the homes that they make, are better known and understood.\" As the main Western writer in Japan at the time wrote, \"The whole question of the position of Japanese women -- in history, social life, education, employment's, authorship, art, marriage, concubinage, prostitution, benevolent labour, the ideals of literature, popular superstitions, etc. -- discloses such a wide and fascinating field of inquiry that I wonder no one has as yet entered it.\" This was taken from Griffin's important work",

Buy a Kindle | Inspector Imanishi Investigates (Soho Crime) | 4 | 1,138 | [
"In the wee hours of a 1960s Tokyo morning, a dead body is found under the rails of a train, and the victim's face is so badly damaged that police have a hard time figuring out the victim’s identity. Only two clues surface: an old man, overheard talking in a distinctive accent to a young man, and the word “kameda.” Inspector Imanishi leaves his beloved bonsai and his haiku and goes off to investigate—and runs up against a blank wall. Months pass in fruitless questioning, in following up leads, until the case is closed, unsolved.But Imanishi is dissatisfied, and a series of coincidences lead him back to the case. Why did a young woman scatter pieces of white paper out of the window of a train? Why did a bar girl leave for home right after Imanishi spoke to her? Why did an actor, on the verge of telling Imanishi something important, drop dead of a heart attack? What can a group of nouveau young artists possibly have to do with the murder of a quiet and “saintly” provincial old ex-policemen? Inspector Imanishi investigates."

Books | Sounds from the Heart: Learning to Listen to Girls | 5 | 2 | [
"Sounds from the Heart",
"is about girls-their learning, their social dilemmas, their dreams, hopes, and fears-and one teacher's struggle to help them reach their full potential.",
"Maureen Barbieri's book takes a careful, deliberate, and often disturbing look at the experiences of a group of adolescent girls as they are nudged into meaningful literacy. Drawing on the work of Nel Noddings, Carol Gilligan, Myra and David Sadker, as well as the theories of Donald Murray and Donald Graves, she asks tough questions about the role of literacy in girls' lives. Do we know what our girls are thinking? Do we make room for their questions in our classrooms? How can we support risk taking at a time when the need to feel safe, secure, and accepted seems uppermost in their minds?",
"We hear about the obstacles Maureen faces, times when she stumbles along the way and contributes to the \"voice training\" that women so often inflict on girls. Because she recognizes in herself a desire to avoid conflict at all costs, Maureen must work hard to take on the specific needs of girls. Her students collaborate with her to become curriculum builders as they explore such loaded issues as duplicity, vengeance, and homophobia in their literature and especially in their writing and talking.",
"Maureen invites readers to ask new questions about curriculum, evaluation, co-education, choice, risk, and conflict. In a final chapter, she examines the more common classroom situation- boys and girls together-and suggests innovative ways to ensure that girls' voices continue to be heard.",
"Sounds from the Heart",
"is essential reading for any teacher, administrator, or student concerned about the ways girls learn."

"The ancient road began at the Tower and ran east to west along a terrace of gravel. To the east it disappeared into the flat treeless horizon of the estuary, merging into the earth just as the earth merged into the sea at the muddy edge of England. As it left London, this road, which in only a few years would become a highway, formed the northern boundary of a dreary region of swampy land. The great river, as it bent south then north again, formed the southern edge of this semicircle of marshland. It had been drained and flooded, drained and flooded half a dozen times in the previous fifty years, while England burned Protestants then Catholics and then Protestants again. This place could not seem to decide if it was of the river or of the earth. The ancient name for the misbegotten half-land was Wapping. No one could remember where the name came from. In recent years small wharves and little clusters of houses had appeared along the riverbank at Wapping. The rich men who funded the buildings decided that houses and wharves would do a better job of keeping out the river than the sea walls they’d been building for decades in their vain attempts to reclaim the land from the waters. And, more to the point, a wharf generated more profit than a wall. During the days men made themselves busy around the dozens of boats that moored up along the wharves, the vessels settling down into the riverbed when the tide went out and rising again as it flooded back in, washing up against the wood-and-brick pilings. The pickings were not rich. London’s most lucrative trade still headed further upstream toward the wharves that operated within the city walls, but a new gray economy was emerging here downstream at Wapping. Beyond this sliver of moneymaking and building, back behind the wharves, between the river and the road, were the marshes. The occasional flood still occurred, sweeping away families and livelihoods as well as the property of the men of business. This dank, oozing landscape, unpromising and undeveloped, was the result of the river’s inundations. The ground was low, lower than sea level in some places, rising up to the bluff along which the road ran to the north. A man could stand there in the marshes, his feet sinking into the mud, and look to the backs of the wharves and warehouses along the river and imagine that they were floating on water. There was a gap in the riverside development, and in this gap stood a group of gallows. The gallows lived on borrowed time—already there were complaints that this place of execution was dragging down the land value of investments. Could it not be moved downstream a bit, perhaps to Ratcliffe, somewhere benighted and undeveloped where men of business were not trying to attract custom? But for now the gallows still stood. On this midsummer’s eve there were six river pirates hanging there. The gallows were right at the water’s edge, set in among the wharves. The six unfortunates hanging from the ropes had been caught after leaping aboard a barge in the river. It had been their sixth attack in four weeks and it was to be their last. The local lightermen and watermen had banded together to bait a trap for them, putting out stories that a barge with wool intended for France and Spain would be traveling downstream that day. When the pirates had clambered onboard, a group of twenty river men hidden beneath sails had emerged and captured them, but sadly not before the pirates, or at least, reported most of the ambushers, the apparent captain of the pirates, whose knife had flashed more quickly and more viciously than those of his crew, had sent three of the Wapping lightermen into the embrace of the old river, their throats slashed and their eyes empty. Eventually the men overcame the pirates and after some cursory discussions with what passed for the authorities in this new outpost they decided upon a customary punishment. The pirates were hanged at Execution Dock, where they would be left for three tides as a signal to others (and perhaps an offering to the river) before being cut down and disposed of. The river was already rising for the first of these three tides when the leader of the pirates heard a clatter of hoofs on the mixture of mud and stones that constituted the main street here in Wapping, running along the curve of the river behind the wharves. A mighty carriage, it sounded like. The clatter stopped, and he heard the sound of a carriage door slamming. A few minutes later, some squelching footsteps as a man approached. The pirate kept his eyes prudently closed as the footsteps stopped, perhaps directly in front of him. Within two hours, the river would be up to the chins of the men on the gallows, before falling back again. Carefully, the pirate opened one eye halfway. He saw the swaying feet of his dead shipmates on either side of him, and opened the eye a little further. His visitor was standing on the foreshore, dressed in the Dutch style, all somber black and white, the clothes effortlessly wealthier than the new gay and gaudy fashions that were rippling out from the English Queen’s court. The visitor cleared his throat and spat. The pirate heard a small splash in the water, and his careful eyes caught the sun as it glittered on a thick lump of green phlegm which appeared and spun around in the water as it commenced its journey down to Tilbury. The visitor glanced up and behind at the gallows, and the pirate closed his eyes quickly. He resolved to keep his eyes that way as the visitor started to speak, in rich aristocratic tones with just the hint of a clammy Dutch accent. “Quite a view they’ve given you. Desirable waterfront property, I’d say.” The pirate said nothing, obviously. The creaking of the gallows was the only sound as he and his men swung gently in the soft summer breeze. Miles and miles upstream, it was a beautiful evening among the willow trees and reeds at Runnymede and Richmond, where the aristocrats played at court and love and wrote poetry to each other. The sun was setting in the opulent west. But here, to the east of the metropolis, the dominant colors were grays and browns. Mud and water, not trees and flowers. The thought seemed to make the visitor positively cheerful. He put his hands behind his back and actually rose up on his toes at the vista before him. “Someday all this will be very desirable property, captain. When my father built his wall here, he had a vision of a new suburb, with the river kept out and the land turned into meadows and orchards. He wanted this to be the prettiest part of London. And all within sight of that dreadful Tower.” It occurred to the pirate to wonder why the Dutchman was speaking when, as far as the man knew, there was no one there alive to listen to him. The visitor spoke again, and even with his eyes closed the pirate captain had the impression that the Dutchman had turned his back on the river and was facing him. Almost as if he were speaking to him. Perhaps he was practicing an address. “You’ll be the last, captain. The last crew to be hanged on this so-called Execution Dock. It’s keeping the developers away, this grisly habit, and this land is valuable. A hundred years, maybe two hundred, this’ll be the busiest port in the world. Trade is coming, captain. Trade. Not petty thievery or the ridiculous swapping of bits of unmade cloth for bits of food ’n’ drink. The world’s wealth is out there waiting to be bought and sold, and unlike most of my countrymen I predict that the buying and selling will happen here, in London, not in Antwerp or Rotterdam. Wapping’s going to flourish. It’s going to become the hub on which the world turns. You’ll go down in history, captain. The last pirate to be hanged at Wapping. My congratulations.” Another movement, and then the sound of the visitor walking back to his carriage. The slamming door, the “hai!” of the coachman, and the snap of hoofs and wheels on the road back into London. And then only the sound of the creaking gallows again. The tide rose, and later it fell. It rose and it fell three times. When the locals came to cut them down, they were disconcerted to find only five pirates hanging from the gallows. The sixth—the captain—had gone. BOOK",

There are new people, a teacher, classmates - will they be friendly? I believe the passage from home to school is the second biggest trauma of childhood; the first is, of course, being born. Indeed, in both cases we leave a place of warmth and protection for one that is unknown. The unknown often brings fear with it.

Books | More Together: 25 Years of Peer Practice at On Our Own Charlottesville | 5 | 1 | [
"Twenty-five years ago a group of people who had experienced serious mental illness came together to provide support to one another as they sought to heal themselves. That group organized and became On Our Own of Charlottesville, Virginia, a peer run organization. Through the years this community has endeavored to carry out its mission to “provide mutual support, self-help, advocacy and education, information, and referral services to individuals who have experienced significant problems in their lives due to a mental illness—and who acknowledge this; and to advocate for positive changes within the traditional mental health system.” At different stages On Our Own has emphasized different aspects of this mission. The main thing OOO had done over its lifetime is to provide a community of mutual support among peers who join together to support one another on the path to recovery. Out of these relationships, which include a lot of careful and respectful listening, individual and group needs are identified, and plans are made and carried out to meet the various needs that members bring on their road to recovery and robust wellbeing. While this process has sometimes been highly structured and intentional, and at other times informal and less conscious, it has been the same core process that was reaffirmed over and over in different forms with different language and labels over the years: caring. This book shares the things On Our Own learned along the way. Its purpose is to help others form their own organizations, helping people with mental health challenges build caring places of community and mutual growth. In this book you will find tools to develop such an organization, along with a dose of On Our Own's history so that you might learn from its mistakes and successes as you create your own unique healing community."

"While there have been few theoretical contributions on the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods in the past decade, current understanding and application of MCMC to the solution of inference problems has increased by leaps and bounds. Incorporating changes in theory and highlighting new applications,",
"Markov Chain Monte Carlo: Stochastic Simulation for Bayesian Inference, Second Edition",
"presents a concise, accessible, and comprehensive introduction to the methods of this valuable simulation technique. The second edition includes access to an internet site that provides the code, written in R and WinBUGS, used in many of the previously existing and new examples and exercises. More importantly, the self-explanatory nature of the codes will enable modification of the inputs to the codes and variation on many directions will be available for further exploration.",
"Major changes from the previous edition:",
"· More examples with discussion of computational details in chapters on Gibbs sampling and Metropolis-Hastings algorithms",
"· Recent developments in MCMC, including reversible jump, slice sampling, bridge sampling, path sampling, multiple-try, and delayed rejection",
"· Discussion of computation using both R and WinBUGS",
"· Additional exercises and selected solutions within the text, with all data sets and software available for download from the Web",
"· Sections on spatial models and model adequacy",
"The self-contained text units make MCMC accessible to scientists in other disciplines as well as statisticians. The book will appeal to everyone working with MCMC techniques, especially research and graduate statisticians and biostatisticians, and scientists handling data and formulating models. The book has been substantially reinforced as a first reading of material on MCMC and, consequently, as a textbook for modern Bayesian computation and Bayesian inference courses."

Coupling this with the depth of examples and references provided, this text provides an excellent first graduate text on MCMC methods. … The book is certainly another fine addition on the literature on MCMC and should be used by anyone interested in gaining a solid foundation in MCMC methods and algorithms. …” ―Gareth Peters (University of New South Wales),",

"The riveting story of the Germania and its incarnations and exploitations through the ages.The pope wanted it, Montesquieu used it, and the Nazis pilfered an Italian noble's villa to get it: the Germania, by the Roman historian Tacitus, took on a life of its own as both an object and an ideology. When Tacitus wrote a not-very-flattering little book about the ancient Germans in 98 CE, at the height of the Roman Empire, he could not have foreseen that the Nazis would extol it as \"a bible,\" nor that Heinrich Himmler, the engineer of the Holocaust, would vow to resurrect Germany on its grounds. But the Germania inspired--and polarized--readers long before the rise of the Third Reich. In this elegant and captivating history, Christopher B. Krebs, a professor of classics at Harvard University, traces the wide-ranging influence of the Germania over a five-hundred-year span, showing us how an ancient text rose to take its place among the most dangerous books in the world. 14 black-and-white illustrations"
] | [
"From Publishers Weekly",
"Harvard classics professor Krebs writes a scholarly but lucid account of the abuse of history. Written in 98 C.E. by the Roman official Tacitus, About the Origin and Mores of the Germanic Peoples was lost for centuries but resurfaced around 1500 as Germans were growing resentful of foreign domination—in this case from the Catholic Church in Rome. The rediscovered book launched a primitivist myth that captivated admirers over the next 500 years, from Martin Luther to Heinrich Himmler, who loved its portrayal of ancient Germans as freedom-loving warriors, uncultured but honorable, in contrast to decadent Romans. In fact, Tacitus probably never visited Germany, Krebs notes. Rather, using books and travelers' reports, he wrote for a Roman audience who shared his romantic view of northern barbarians. Enthusiastic German readers, culminating in the Nazis, ignored Tacitus's disparaging comments, misread passages to confirm their prejudices, and proclaimed that the ancient historian confirmed their national superiority. This is an inventive analysis of, and warning against, an irresistible human yearning to find written proof of one's ideology. Illus. (May) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.",
"Review",
"“A fascinating story of how a book could be used and―especially―abused over two thousand years, as enemies saw it as presenting Germans as brutish and barbarian, while German nationalistic pride extracted a quite different message of a nation that was simple, virtuous, and pure.... beautifully told by Christopher Krebs.” -",

Books | The Prophet: With Original 1923 Illustrations by the Author | 4.6 | 1,367 | [
"Kahlil Gibran published \"The Prophet\" in 1923 and saw immediate success, but its real popularity came after his death. It remains popular today, providing insight and spiritual significance to ordinary human experiences. Gibran poetically addresses topics such as \"Love\" and \"Marriage\" as well as more mundane ones like \"Work\" and \"Talking.\" Gibran's \"spiritual fiction\" does not shy away from deeper aspects of human life, either. Almustafa, the prophet, speaks also about \"Good and Evil\", \"Joy and Sorrow\", and even \"Death.\" This compact soft cover edition contains the original illustrations, made by Gibran himself."

Zeb Beck is a fine author with a cracking sense of humour, and the sardonic cynicism of his anti-hero sizzles with every exchange.\"--Author Matt McAvoy",

He’s not there for sex; he’s there to save his failing academic career.Gil's anthropological study of Tijuana streetwalkers had his dissertation advisor cheering him on.

Now, with no connection to the sex worker community, his research has stalled and the faculty elders are about to kick him out of the grad program. Plus, he’s broke.He takes a job teaching at a juvenile detention center. The steady income gives him the means to keep making his weekly trips across the border.

Books | Law and Legitimacy in the Supreme Court | 4.7 | 8 | [
"Winner of the Thomas M. Cooley Book Prize, Georgetown Center on the Constitution",
"Why do self-proclaimed constitutional “originalists” so regularly reach decisions with a politically conservative valence? Do “living constitutionalists” claim a license to reach whatever results they prefer, without regard to the Constitution’s language and history? In confronting these questions, Richard H. Fallon reframes and ultimately transcends familiar debates about constitutional law, constitutional theory, and judicial legitimacy.Drawing from ideas in legal scholarship, philosophy, and political science, Fallon presents a theory of judicial legitimacy based on an ideal of good faith in constitutional argumentation. Good faith demands that the Justices base their decisions only on legal arguments that they genuinely believe to be valid and are prepared to apply to similar future cases. Originalists are correct about this much. But good faith does not forbid the Justices to refine and adjust their interpretive theories in response to the novel challenges that new cases present. Fallon argues that theories of constitutional interpretation should be works in progress, not rigid formulas laid down in advance of the unforeseeable challenges that life and experience generate.",
"Law and Legitimacy in the Supreme Court",
"offers theories of constitutional law and judicial legitimacy that accept many tenets of legal realism but reject its corrosive cynicism. Fallon’s account both illuminates current practice and prescribes urgently needed responses to a legitimacy crisis in which the Supreme Court is increasingly enmeshed."
] | [
"Review",
"“Very careful, meticulously researched and referenced, balanced in its treatment of issues, fair to opposing positions, and successful in offering a subtle and nuanced perspective that takes multiple considerations into account, Fallon's treatment of the varieties of legitimacy, of the role of precedent, and of questions of official obedience to Supreme Court rulings will make useful contributions to the now existing literature.”",
"―",
"Frederick Schauer, University of Virginia School of Law",
"“This book stands head and shoulders above the competition in the graceful and insightful way in which it combines Fallon's well-known mastery of constitutional law and practice and his ability to grasp and deploy a deep understanding of the work that philosophy can contribute to constitutional understanding.”",
"―",
"Jeremy Waldron, author of",
"One Another's Equals: The Basis of Human Equality",
"“Thoughtful and timely…Fallon wisely argues for a conception of legitimate judicial decision-making in which we accept that law is influenced by political, practical, and moral considerations, even as we strive to ensure it is not dominated by them.”",
"―",
"Amanda Frost",
",",
"SCOTUSblog",
"“Practical and philosophical, Fallon’s book prompts readers to revisit constitutional theories in a fresh and valuable way.”",

Books | Oregon Birds: A Folding Pocket Guide to Familiar Species (Wildlife and Nature Identification) | 4.8 | 74 | [
"A lush and mountainous gem in the Pacific Northwest, Oregon is a great place to observe and learn about birds, owing to the Beaver State's remarkable avian diversity ― over 550 species ― and varied terrain. Coastal Oregon's rocky and sand beaches are important for migratory shorebirds; offshore, seabirds can be seen in large congregations. The Cascade Mountains host conifer-dominated alpine forests where stand-outs like Williamson's Sapsucker, White-headed Woodpecker, and Gray-crowned Rosy-finch live. In the mountains' dry rain shadow to the east, a semi-desert region is home to Greater Sage-grouse and state bird Western Meadowlark. Waterfowl and Sandhill Cranes can be observed by the thousands along wetlands and lakes. Such a variety of birds can be as overwhelming as it is exciting, so it helps to have a portable reference on hand to cut through the clutter and focus on a smaller group of representative species. You can do this with the beautifully illustrated Oregon Birds, which features 140 common and familiar birds as well as an ecoregion map showing over 20 bird-finding hotspots and learning sites. Laminated for durability, this lightweight, 12-panel folding pocket guide is the ideal companion for educators, learners, naturalists, and birders who wish to sharpen their bird identification skills and peer more closely into birds' fascinating lives. Made in the USA."

"Break the Code. Shatter the World.",
"Centuries ago, the murder of a beloved king tore apart the Kingdom of Caledun. The land was plunged into chaos and thousands perished in the aftermath. A new order was established in an attempt to return Caledun to its former glory. It failed, but in its place rose the beginnings of the Code.",
"During this same period, the mystical caretakers of the Great Wood retreated from the world of Kal Maran, their disappearance an ominous harbinger of the suffering that was to follow. The Great Wood now grows out of control. Cities, towns, and villages have fallen before the relentless march of the forest. Without the former guardians to keep her tame, the wood has become a place of peril, and dark creatures of legend now hunt beneath its leaves.",
"The summer season is now a time of armed conflict. The fall of the old monarchy has brought about a ceaseless cycle of combat. Grievances are settled by the strict tenets of a binding Mercenary Code and the men who would die to preserve its honour.",
"However, change is in the air. Political rivalries have escalated, and dire rumblings of a revolution abound. Thrust to the forefront of the shattered land's politics, a mercenary fights for more than just riches. In the north, a borderland soldier wrestles with his own demons and looks to find his true purpose. And in the shadow of the Great Wood, a young man's chance encounter with a strange visitor gives hope to a land divided."

"According to MS, the MCSA SQL Server track is intended for candidates who need to perform SQL Server installation, maintenance and configuration tasks. They often need to set up database systems and are responsible for making sure those systems are actually running efficiently. They also need to ensure that the data is backed up regularly, stored effectively, and that the data is highly secure. One will very likely run SQL Server 2012 on Windows Server 2012. There is the new SQL Server 2012 exam coded 70-462 that covers these topics: Install and Configure, Maintain Instances and Databases, Optimize and Troubleshoot, Manage Data, Implement Security, Implement High Availability. Exam 70-432, on the other hand, is all about configuring SQL Server 2008 R2. The topics covered include: Installing and Configuring SQL Server 2008 Maintaining SQL Server Instances Managing SQL Server Security Maintaining a SQL Server Database Performing Data Management Tasks Monitoring and Troubleshooting SQL Server Optimizing SQL Server Performance Implementing High Availability Your job may require that you master both SQL Server versions. SQL Server 2008R2 and SQL Server 2012 share many common features and mechanisms. The two exams have BOKs that look quite different. However, the actual knowledge items involved do overlap a lot so it actually makes sense to study both together. Throughout this book we use screen captures made out of SQL Server 2012. However, unless the text explicitly states a specific version, the contents can be applied towards both versions. We give you knowledge information relevant to the exam specifications. To be able to succeed in the real exams, you’ll need to apply your earned knowledge to the question scenarios. Many of the exam questions are written to be less straight forward. They tend to be framed within the context of short scenarios. The exams are not too difficult. However, coverage is very comprehensive – a wide range of topics are presented in the official topic lists. The exams do not ask you to answer hundreds of questions. In other words, only a small fraction of the official topics will be presented. This ExamFOCUS book focuses on the more difficult topics that will likely make a difference in exam results. The book is NOT intended to guide you through every single official topic. You should therefore use this book together with other reference books for the best possible preparation outcome."

Books | Collectible Beer Trays (A Schiffer Book for Collectors) | 4.4 | 6 | [
"Sit back, pop a cold one, and let Gary Straub introduce you to the colorful world of beer tray collecting. With over 800 bright color photographs of different trays and an engaging text, the reader follows the rise and fall of the lithographed tin beer tray from its 1890s introduction, through its golden years, and eventual post-World War II decline. The fortunes of the breweries are charted in their trays through the boom years prior to 1920, the staggering losses of the Prohibition era, and the conservation during World War II. Discover the alternative materials used when tin was in short supply. Manufacturers of the trays, their artwork(often sold to more than one brewery) and their marks are described in detail. Breweries emblazoned on the trays include Ballantine, Bartels, Genessee, and Narragansett. The names of some of the brews themselves provide occasional surprises, like OLE MULE ALE and ANTRACITEBEER."

Amazon Reviews 2023 (Books Only)
This is a subset of Amazon Review 2023 dataset. Please visit amazon-reviews-2023.github.io/ for more details, loading scripts, and preprocessed benchmark files.
[April 18, 2024] Update
- This dataset was created and pushed for the first time.
This is a large-scale Amazon Reviews dataset, collected in 2023 by McAuley Lab, and it includes rich features such as:
- User Reviews (ratings, text, helpfulness votes, etc.);
- Item Metadata (descriptions, price, raw image, etc.);
What's New?
In the Amazon Reviews'23, we provide:
- Larger Dataset: We collected 571.54M reviews, 245.2% larger than the last version;
- Newer Interactions: Current interactions range from May. 1996 to Sep. 2023;
- Richer Metadata: More descriptive features in item metadata;
- Fine-grained Timestamp: Interaction timestamp at the second or finer level;
- Cleaner Processing: Cleaner item metadata than previous versions;
- Standard Splitting: Standard data splits to encourage RecSys benchmarking.
Basic Statistics
We define the #R_Tokens as the number of tokens in user reviews and #M_Tokens as the number of tokens if treating the dictionaries of item attributes as strings. We emphasize them as important statistics in the era of LLMs.
We count the number of items based on user reviews rather than item metadata files. Note that some items lack metadata.
Grouped by Category
| Category | #User | #Item | #Rating | #R_Token | #M_Token | Download |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Books | 10.3M | 4.4M | 29.5M | 2.9B | 3.7B | review, meta |

'text': {0: 'It is definitely not a watercolor book. The paper bucked completely. The pages honestly appear to be photo copies of other pictures. I say that bc if you look at the seal pics you can see the tell tale line at the bottom of the page. As someone who has made many photocopies of pages in my time so I could try out different colors & mediums that black line is a dead giveaway to me. It’s on other pages too. The entire book just seems off. Nothing is sharp & clear. There is what looks like toner dust on all the pages making them look muddy. There are no sharp lines & there is no clear definition. At least there isn’t in my copy. And the Coloring Book for Adult on the bottom of the front cover annoys me. Why is it singular & not plural? They usually say coloring book for kids or coloring book for kids & adults or coloring book for adults- plural. Lol Plus it would work for kids if you can get over the grey scale nature of it. Personally I’m not going to waste expensive pens & paints trying to paint over the grey & black mess. I grew up in SW Florida minutes from the beaches & I was really excited about the sea life in this. I hope the printers & designers figure out how to clean up the mess bc some of the designs are really cute. They just aren’t worth my time to hand trace & transfer them, but I’m sure there are ppl that will be up to the challenge. This is one is a hard no. Going back. I tried.'},
