Ronald J. Glasser
Corgi Childrens, 1973
Indispensible for understanding the Vietnam experience.
Dr. Glassner provides a unique perspective on the American experience in Vietnam -- that of a medical officer responsible for treating the shattered, burned, and exhausted men caught up in that conflict. There is plenty of heroism in his short tales, but usually it is the heroism of brute survival, of adapting to impossible conditions, of enduring the unendurable. I have heard this book referred ...

Sparkling Gems From The Greek: 365 Greek Word Studies For Every Day Of The Year To Sharpen Your Understanding ...63 reviews
Rick Renner
Teach All Nations, 2003
Wonderful Bible Study Help
This is one of the most helpful books I have ever had. Not only is it a daily devotional thought, but it explains how the words used in the Bible relate to our every-day lives. After I saw how wonderful it was, I went back to Amazon and purchased two more copies for gifts, and they are in daily use and much appreciated.
Highly recommended.

365 Tao: Daily Meditations49 reviews
Ming-dao Deng
HarperOne, 1992
Superb introduction to the Tao
This small book has a commentary on Tao for each day of the year, an guide to application to life. It avoids both abstruse explanation and sermonizing, merely suggesting guides along the Way. Highly recommended as a means to understanding just what Tao is about, but, of course, never trying to define it. A worthy addition to my shelf of handy books.

The Original 365 Cats Page-A-Day Calendar 2007 (Large Page-A-Day)36 reviews
Workman Publishing Company
Workman Publishing Company, 2006
Cats! Cats! Cats!
I've been getting this calendar for years now -- my kids especially love seeing what new kitty awaits them each day (plus, after the pages are removed I often use the reverse to write notes to the kids - they like getting a note with a cute cat on the reverse - and it's some vague form of recycling.)
The blurbs that accompany each photo are sometimes informative...mostly basic stuff that a cat ...

365 Dogs Page-A-Day Calendar 200820 reviews
Workman Publishing Company
Workman Publishing Company, 2007
One of the BEST calendars I have ever owned!
This must be one of the best calendars I have ever owned!!! The dog pictures are either adorable or really funny! All pages come with a title and some small caption about the dogs in the picture. I am VERY happy with this item. I have had MANY calendars in my life (including other page a day ones) and I have to say this one is my favorite. Every morning when I wake up I see my page for that day ...

I Will Bear Witness: A Diary of the Nazi Years, 1933-1941 (Modern Library Paperbacks)46 reviews
Victor Klemperer
Modern Library, 1999
Heartbreaking and essential book
A must read for all those who are compelled to understand the insanity of Nazi Germany. The evil is in the details as these journals so devastatingly reveal. Sometimes necessary to read only a few pages at a time as the devastation and slowly increasing helplessness of this man's life is revealed. A critical historical document.

Earth Prayers From around the World: 365 Prayers, Poems, and Invocations for Honoring the Earth19 reviews
Elizabeth Roberts
HarperOne, 1991
In touch with the Spirit, in touch with the Earth
This eclectic collection of prayers, poems, chants, verses, and mantras from all around the world is worth keeping near at all times. A dear friend gave this to me many years ago and I've nearly worn out the copy carrying it with me while sauntering from the Rockies and high Sierra, to the depths of the southwest desert canyons, to the wild Pacific shore. This is truly a wonderful collection of ...

Element Books, 2004
Gentle reminders when faced with uncertainty
My husband bought this for me for Christmas. We're faced with giving birth in February to a child who will require several open heart surgeries. I've been struggling with the anticipation and fear - mostly of the unknown. It's made the days hard to get through.
I've picked up this book no less than 10 times in the few hours since he's given it to me, and each page contains a small wisdom ...

Chugga Chugga Choo Choo94 reviews
Kevin Lewis
Hyperion, 1999
My children's favorite book
This simple, rhyming book about a toy train has been read and re-read in this house. My girls absolutely MUST hear this book at least five times a day. We're on our third copy, as the first two were destroyed from overuse. My only criticism is that the book is not of more sturdy construction. If you have toddlers and pre-school age children, this book is a must have!

Creating the Worlds of Star Wars : 365 Days17 reviews
John Knoll, 2005
Great Star Wars Book
This book is really cool for most Star Wars lovers. It shows you how they filmed the movie. You can see who played the Wampa. I think the coolest part is Mustafar because you can see the lava river bank. You can also see on one page all the Astromech droids. You can also see alot of cool other stuff.
You should buy this book if you're a Star Wars fan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wealth Happens One Day at a Time: 365 Days to a Brighter Financial Future13 reviews
Brooke M. Stephens
Collins Business, 2000
excellent book and as easy to read as a novel
Like the other people who reviewed this book, I just love it. I first borrowed it from the library and then purchased it for myself. I like the way it is made up, in tiny steps and really easy to read and follow. It truly inspired me to take a new look at money and I found out that you can save money in more ways than I ever thought possible. I highly recommend it. It is well worth the price.

365 Crochet Stitches a Year: Perpetual Calendar14 reviews
Jean Leinhauser, Rita Weiss
Martingale and Company, 2007
Score! The perfect gift for a crocheter any time of year!
This is not one of those calendars that you use to jot down dental appointments or trips to the vet and then toss out at the end of the year. This is a calendar that you will keep forever, using again and again to keep your crochet skills really up-to-date!
As I flipped through it, I dreamed of incorporating these new stitches (well, new to me...) into scarves, sweaters, hats, etc. Imagine the ...

The Original 365 Cats Calendar 2006 (Page a Day Colour Calendar)15 reviews
Workman Publishing Company
Workman Publishing Company, 2005
Good pictures, appropriate text
It's a calendar -- what can you say? All 365 days are there. It comes with its own little plastic stand, and we keep ours on a lazy Susan in the kitchen. The pictures are pretty good and usually the text is appropriate for a cat owner. In its favor -- it doesn't try hard to be cute or sophisticated or different -- no "cats with bad attitudes" etc. We tear off the previous day's picture each ...

This book is an absolute treasure and worth every penny of the steep price I payed for it.The pictures are large and extremely high quality and most of them are in vivid color.Another wonderful thing is the fact that they are in chronological order,almost day by day from the end of 1962 to 1970.This is perfect for students of the Beatles because it gives an accurate visual history of the band to ...

Bringing Heaven Down to Earth: 365 Meditations of the Rebbe18 reviews
Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson
Class One Press, 1998
Dancing With The Rebbe
I was an early casualty of the faith of my parents. Not particularly religious themselves, they left me with a sense of the form of our religion, but no picture whatever of it's content. This wasn't their fault, it was simply very much the way we were in the 50's and 60's. My own spiritual needs left unmet by my faith of origin, I drifted from the time I entered college, first as an atheist, ...
