Boot Camp for Your Brain: A No-Nonsense Guide to the SAT I103 reviews
M. Denmark Manning
Xlibris Corporation, 2001
A perfect companion to "The Official Guide to the SATs"
I have tried plenty of different programs to enhance my SAT scores - books, classes, you name it. Boot Camp was organized in a fashion that was easy to use, and more importantly, yielded desired results. The contents of the book are concepts that are on the actual SAT and don't waste your time. I (like any other high schooler) have little to no time to practice SATs, but the great thing about ...

Mayo Clinic Guide to a Healthy Pregnancy131 reviews
Mayo Clinic
Collins Living, 2004
Chuck "What to Expect," this is the only one you need!
I bought this book on a whim because I thought the Mayo Clinic must know some things about pregnancy. As soon as I opened it, I realized how much time I wasted reading little bits of "What to Expect" every month. I love the way this book is set up: the week by week development bits are all together. The pregnancy illnesses and complications are all together. The labor and delivery bits are all ...

Will get the next edition in addition to the copy I have
I got this book a couple of years ago and now am chess club presendent at my school chess club in 7th grade. I loaned it out so many times it is getting worn out.

Practice Makes Perfect: Spanish Verb Tenses129 reviews
Dorothy Richmond
McGraw-Hill, 1996
Super book to work in!
I got this book as an accompaniment to another Spanish book I bought at the same time. This book is so much better! It gives very clear explanations and examples and the best are the exercises and translations that you are asked to do. The complete answer key is in the back to check your work. I highly recommend this book!

Saunders Comprehensive Review for the NCLEX-RN (R) Examination Full Color Reprint122 reviews
Linda Anne Silvestri
Saunders, 2006
Comprehensive Review
Although I am only halfway through the text, I have found it covers a multitude of topics and is very easy to use. I especially enjoy the accompanying CD which provides questions similar to the ones I experienced in nursing school. As an added benefit, there are a few assessment questions with an audio component that require knowledge from a student's clinical experience. With over twelve ...

The Nonrunner's Marathon Guide for Women: Get Off Your Butt and On with Your Training56 reviews
Dawn Dais
Seal Press, 2007
Highly Recommended Fun!
I finished this book the day after it arrived. So funny, so inspiring. This author freely admits that she was committed to laziness and yet finished a marathon. (albeit in pain!) This is truly more of a memoir than a training manual, but it should inspire you to get off your butt! Even if you have no intention of ever running a marathon, this book will convince you to set a goal and ...

Steve Murray
body and mind productions inc, 2005
Great program!
I have nothing but great things to say about Steve Murray's program. All his books are well-written, to the point, and very informative. I also agree that if you can send someone long-distance Reiki, it only follows that you could send someone a long-distance attunement. I was fortunate enough to be able to do both a Reiki 1 seminar in person, and Steve Murray's Reiki 1 DVD attunement with his ...

Esphyr Slobodkina
Live Oak Media, 1987
Me and my 2.5 year old son love this book
This is a great book for kids, even young ones around 2.5 years old. It's an engaging story and my son loves the part where the man wakes up to find his hats gone, and looks up and sees all the monkeys wearing the hats! He asks me to read it everynight, and remembers the phrase "caps for sale."
