The skinny on diet pills !
The other day a gal wrote to a fitness website I am on and said," I am tired of dieting and exercising, please tell me what diet pill I can take and just get skinny quick." After reading "The Diet Pill Guide" I was able to tell her, there is no magic pill, just as most of sadly knew all along. The Diet Pill book lists over the counter, prescription and other supplements sold for weight loss. It ...

Beatufully captures Tuscan life without sentimentality
Life in Maremma chronicles the trials and tribulations of the authors decision, move to and life within Maremma (literally, "marsh) in Southern Tuscany. This slim volume is beautfully written in concise, witty prose. The authors make it easy to understand the local customs and people, and resist the urge to show off their knowledge of Italian admirably. The book is amusing in two ways: the comedy ...

An intellectual feast
I recommend this book to anyone interested in the history of ideas surrounding disability - it is not just an application of cultural or feminist theory to examine a grouping but the development of a whole new way of conceptualising disability. I would say it is one of the best books I have read on the subject - although I do also have to add it can tend to ignore the realities of disability and ...

The anthology is an excellent book. The stories were not written exclusively by gay authors, and surprises are waiting for the readers (e.g. Noel Coward's beautiful story). The 39 stories are offered by well-known authors (e.g. Forster, Isherwood), known young authors (Leavitt, Kramer) and by those less known. In so introducing new and promising authors to the readers, Leavitt and Mitchell prove ...

Mitchell the Adaptive Literary Expert
I've got problems enjoying books which've been translated from their original language. I gave up on Soul Mountain after 20 pages, quit on 100 Years of Solitude with 20 pages to go and barely held out Kafka on the Shore (maybe because I couldn't stand not knowing where the heck Murakami was going towards the end, maybe the translator did an above-par job, maybe I was more patient). So when ...

Useful bag of tricks, if a little basic
This book reads very well, and I truly enjoyed the afternoon spent perusing it. I would summarize it as presentation of a useful bag of tricks accumulated by the author, targeted at second year comp sci students. Be aware, though, that the author has not worked on large scale or complex problems, and his bag of tricks will need to be upgraded to more formal and robust approaches, common in the ...

An excellent book.

I found that it hit upon the pertain side effects and interactions, and I liked the organization. Mechanism of action ...
