Yong Huang's Blog: Learning Spanish, French, and Italian Words Through Ety

Test of AI's to suggest mnemonics

Yong Huang rated a book it was amazing The Myths of Greece and Rome (Anthropology & Folklore S) by Hélène A. Guerber	Error rating book. Refresh and try again. Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
Ms. Guerber (1859-1929) left this wonderful story of Greek and Roman myths to us. Her narrative is clear, concise, engaging, and often times, poetic, as many adjacent lines seem to rhyme, as if an itinerant minstrel was reciting an epic saga. We don' ...more

Great book, and great translator's note! There are many editions of Machiavelli's "The Prince". This one is outstanding in that the translator -- I assume mostly Russell Price, the second editor -- did an exceptional job. His copious notes on the his ...more

Dr. Campbell's book may be outdated if you're a specialist in mythology and archaeology. Otherwise, this book is a fascinating read. I'd like to address one common criticism on his work. It's said that Campbell made equivalence of various symbols and ...more

The strength of this book is in the selected essays, not in the text written by the editor. Unlike other books of this kind, the selection is not limited to the authors that would later gain their renown. This is particular interesting, or important, ...more

The book starts with interesting descriptions of various concepts, then logic, clearly and succintly explained with good and practical examples. But the latter half of the book was written as if somebody wanted him to complete it ASAP. For example, w ...more

An excellent book. The only little problem for me is that the edition I have (M.I.T Press, 1965) does not have an index at the end, so I manually add some keywords interesting to me along with page numbers to the back. Dr. Feynman tried his best to e ...more

Tens of architectural styles are described clearly and in a way easy to follow and remember. One minor problem is the illustrations and the coordination between them and the text. Why do we need architectural drawings instead of photographs? Because ...more
