	Cultural Geography: Book Review
		Sense of place, therefore, is first and foremost connected to the actual physical environment and locale, and to the historical and cultural environment of the area.
		Note that “sense of place” is something that can be created artificially: theme parks such as Disneyworld often try to project a sense of place, like “Main Street USA” of the 1950s, in a location that is disconnected (in both space and time, in this case) from that which is being portrayed.
		Artistically, the sense of place is additionally portrayed through the actual senses: the sights, smells, and sounds of the place; the moods created by the depictions of the landscape.

	Sixth Sense
		The real aim of the book is to help you develop your intuition with exercises outlining ways to connect to the senses, nature, the etheric, the future, the universe, and your own inner power.
		Reading the book is like having a conversation with this phenomenally intelligent man as he shares his lifetime’s work.
		He has written 11 books, including those that make up the very successful Taos Quintet, which are considered classics in their genre.

	Bookseller Chick: Book Sense 101: Covering the Basics of Covers*
		I must make one thing clear right now: books are almost always judged on their cover alone by a browsing customer, and this is the customer to whom all books want to appeal.
		The reason why I chose this book as an example is because unlike the other books it does not hit all the points of a successful cover and it shows in the sales.
		The book was still presented to the customer face out, but instead of lying on its back on a table, the book was now about chest level and facing out from a wall.

	Book Sense - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Book Sense is a marketing and branding program of the American Booksellers Association, in which many independent bookstores across North America participate in order to better compete with the large book chains.
		Book Sense publishes regular weekly lists for hardcover fiction, hardcover nonfiction, trade paperback fiction, trade paperback nonfiction, mass market paperback, "children's interest," children's illustrated, and children's fiction series.
		Owners and employees of Book Sense member stores review these ARCs, along with brand-new books when they are released, and nominate their favorites as "Book Sense picks." The American Booksellers Association handles nominations and voting, and releases monthly lists of what member stores have selected.

	A Blog of Bosh - » Ye Book of Sense
		A recent addition to my collection was a book of limericks that was previously unknown to me: Ye Book of Sense: A Companion to the Book of Nonsense.
		It could, on the other hand, be immediately prior to the Civil War; A Book of Nonsense was, after all, published in 1846 - leaving plenty of time for the notion of the nonsense verse to cross the Atlantic.
		An interesting side point is that the single vertical picture (p 30) is bound with feet left (toward the spine) and head right (away from the spine).

	Amazon.com: Sense and Sensibility (Penguin Classics): Books: Jane Austen,Ros Ballaster (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		SENSE AND SENSIBILITY only hints at the social skewering Austen would use to such great effect in her later novels, and the humor here is only occasional and slight, as this novel adopts a generally serious tone.
		Book clubs and students might want to explore the influence of money on nineteenth century British society as well as the meaning of the title as it applies to both the sisters and the other characters.
		The young women must use their sense to see what is really there, and their sensibility to see what will be (unfortunately, Marianne uses neither, much to the detriment of the family).

	Bookseller Chick: Book Sense 101: Covering Covers, the Just the Facts, Ma'am Edition
		Combine that with the fact that this book is mammoth and hardbound, and I’ll be waiting for the paperback edition, thank you very much.
		These books, with their uninspiring covers, do nothing to relieve the idea that history/current events/etc are only for the person looking for hard, dense literature because they make no attempt to appeal to an audience outside of their built in niche.
		A true bravo moment given that this is a book about dead bodies (one I highly recommend to anyone who has a keen sense of the absurd).

	The Road Builder by Nicholas Hershenow - Multiple Book Reviews Book Jacket Summary (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		This book drew me in early and kept me on the edge of my seat for the 48 hours it...
		This sense carried through the long writing of the book, and I hope the reader will find that it ultimately crystallized into a distinctive vision of Africa, an evocative adventure and love story, and a compelling exploration of memory, history, and the creation of myth.
		Nicholas Hershenow is a major literary talent, and his debut--and, not incidentally, the debut of BlueHen Books to nurture such talent--are reasons for booklovers to rejoice.

	Amazon.com: Common Sense (Dover Thrift Editions): Books: Thomas Paine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Common Sense is not so much a book as it is a great essay that you wish would not end.
		With wit and sarcasm, he destroys the argument that anarchy is the only alternative to monarchy, blasts the notion that the moral development of a nation is dependent upon the presence of a king and humiliates colonists who cling to poor parent (England).
		Common Sense is a must read for all citizens of the USA and world seeking liberation from long established regimes.
