Ann Douglas

Wiley, 2002

It really is the mother of all pregrancy books
After reading several other pregnancy books, although reading over the same topics, Ann Douglas provides more helpful information. Her writing style is easy to read, funny at times and not biased. You feel as if you are listening to a friend sometimes. This book covers everything from preconception to delivery. This book provides excellent questions for interviewing doctors/midwives. She provides ...
  
  











  



  
The Dharma Bums (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition)5 reviews
Jack Kerouac

Penguin Classics, 2006

The Dharma Bums
Following the success of "On the Road", Kerouac's publishers initially rejected his manuscripts such as "The Subterraneans" and "Tristessa." But his publisher asked him to write an accessible, popular novel continuing with the themes of "On the Road." Kerouac responded with "The Dharma Bums" which was published late in 1958. "The Dharma Bums" is more conventionally written that most of Kerouac's ...
  
  











  



  
Trying Again: A Guide to Pregnancy After Miscarriage, Stillbirth, and Infant Loss35 reviews
Ann Douglas

Taylor Trade Publishing, 2000

This book was written for me.
This is a wonderful book. I purchased it after the stillbirth of my first baby boy. It gave me the confidence to not try again but at least to start thinking about it. Thankfully we did and we have a beautiful 18 month old girl now. I felt like this book was written especially for me. It was so relevant to our experience of achieving parenthood. Thanks Ann for writing this book.
  
  











  



  
The Mother of All Baby Books: The Ultimate Guide to Your Baby's First Year (U.S. edition)28 reviews
Ann Douglas

Wiley, 2002

Comforting and Funny!!!
Bored with all those "stage" in life books for your baby to be? Perhaps you are (as I am) soon to be expecting and realize that you won't have a lot of time to read up about what your baby may/may not be up to and if it is normal after your baby arrives. Well then this book is for you! I eagerly started the book on Friday and finished it (yes all 500 pages) on Saturday. What a delight. ...

Wiley, 2004

This book is a lot of fun
How can you not like a book with this title? It is a huge book with tons of information. I find it a lot more helpful and user friendly than the what to expect series....but that's just my opinion...Great information - I keep it out for ideas, suggestions and to check up on my toddlers progress.
  
  











  



  
The Unofficial Guide to Having a Baby85 reviews
Ann Douglas, John R. Sussman

Wiley, 2004

You may want to buy the first (1999) edition of this book rather than the second (2004)
The first thing I did when my copy of the second (2004) edition of "The Unofficial Guide to Having a Baby" arrived was open the table of contents to find the much-lauded "The Dirt on Diapers and Other Baby Gear" chapter I'd read about in other Amazon reviews. I couldn't locate it! There were other chapters I could have sworn I'd find in this book, but didn't. I was perplexed and thought for a ...
  
  











  



  
Crime Classification Manual: A Standard System for Investigating and Classifying Violent Crimes12 reviews
John Douglas, Ann W. Burgess, ...

Jossey-Bass, 2006

Leading the field of crime classification
Whilst written primarily for the American law enforcement community this book is an excellent read and will provide a highly useful guide to police officers, criminal lawyers and criminologists the world over. John Douglas proves again that he is one of the leaders in the field of behavioral science providing a character type for each of the main crime classes. I recommend that anyone embarking ...
  
  











  



  
Sexual Homicide: Patterns and Motives- Paperback16 reviews
John E. Douglas, Ann W. Burgess, ...

Free Press, 1995

A Landmark Research Book
The pioneering research work of Robert Ressler, Ann Burgess and John Douglass is presented in startling statistical detail. Thirty-six sexual murderers were interviewed: the data about their motivations, drives, and fantasies was catalogued and indexed in insightful graphic detail. Perhaps the psychological, predatory horror that lurks in the minds of serial killers will never be fully ...

Ann Douglas

Wiley, 2006

A practical book with real solutions
You're tired. The baby isn't sleeping properly and you need help NOW! That's why this book is great, because it gives you ideas you can try today, implement right now. And if the first idea doesn't work, there's often another one, too, sometimes a whole list of ideas. I like the fact that this book talks to real mothers about real sleep problems and gives real, practical solutions. Ann ...

Ann Douglas

Wiley, 2004

I love this organizer!!
This organizer/journal is great. It has plenty of space to document all of my prenatal appointments (and I'm having twins, so there are a lot of them!). I love that it has journal space for each week of my pregnancy, beginning with week 3, which is when we found out we were pregnant! It also has space for any medications you are taking, potential pediatricians, emergency contacts. It lists the ...

Terrible Honesty: Mongrel Manhattan in the 1920s4 reviews
Ann Douglas

Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1996

Detailed, Scholarly Manhattan in the 1920's...
I don't know why this awesome book has negative reviews here. It is a little difficult true. But for a New Yorkphile, like me, it can't be beat, if you want to know New York in the 1920's, and to a lesser degree the nation. All the familiar names are covered: Scott and Zelda, Woolcott, Parker, Gerstein Stein, Freud,Jazz and Ellington among many others. New York as a huge rush for outsiders from ...
  
  











  



  
What Can One Person Do? Faith to Heal a Broken World2 reviews

Church Publishing, 2005

Helpful and Unique
I really enjoyed this book because it gives a very unique perspective of the Millenium Development Goals from the faith perspective. It also gives hands on and realistic steps that we can take to move even closer to each MDG. My only complaint with this book is that it is at times elitist in that it assumes that its audience is middle and upper-middle class Christians. Though this gives the ...

A smart person's guide to choosing childcare
If you're the kind of person who likes to research things thoroughly, this is the book for you. It's far more comprehensive than any other childcare book on the market, covering important issues that most other books ignore, like how to prevent problems in your relationship with your childcare provider (whether a nanny or a member of the daycare center staff) and how to troubleshoot any ...

Uncle Tom's Cabin: Or, Life Among the Lowly (The Penguin American Library)23 reviews
Harriet Beecher Stowe

Penguin Classics, 1981

The unreadable classic- or Greatness of Influence vs. Literary quality
When Abraham Lincoln met Harriet Beecher Stowe he reportedly said, "This is the little woman who made the great war". The tremendous influence of this book on Anti-Slavery attitudes are considered to be a very real factor in leading to atmosphere which helped bring about the Civil War. This work is thus in terms of its 'real effect' in the 'real world ' far more important than 'Moby Dick' or " ...
  
  











  



  
Studs Lonigan (Penguin Classics)27 reviews
James T. Farrell

Penguin Classics, 2001

Character Development at its Finest
If you are looking for a plot driven story, then this may not satisfy. However, if you do not approach the story with the same kind of expectations you might bring to a work of popular fiction, Farrell maintains a high level of interest. I believe Studs Lonigan is one of the most developed characters in twentieth century American fiction. I am especially impressed that this depiction comes across ...
  
  











  



  
The Dharma Bums (Penguin Modern Classics)148 reviews
Jack Kerouac

Penguin Classics, 2000

Something every 20 year old can relate to, at least
One of the most often used metaphors for inner growth is the travel journal and I'm sure Kerouac would have enjoyed Gurdjieff's somewhat autobiograhical travel novel "Meetings with Remarkable Men." Has this generation (2007) not yet found it's Dharma Bums? Maybe the line between literature and music is blurring (thanks to Dylan, Bob that is). Where is the excitement of adventure that leaps off ...
