The Mindful Way through Depression: Freeing Yourself from Chronic Unhappiness

37 reviews
J. Mark G. Williams, John D. Teasdale, ...

The Guilford Press, 2007

Not only for depressed individuals
This book is an excellent guide for anyone who wants to improve the quality of their life, anyone who has noticed that the mind does not only solve problems but also creates them because we reject the present moment. We may have noticed also that our thoughts judge and reject our feelings and emotions. The authors offer basic and easy to implement techniques to help us live in the present ...

Henry Iv, Part I (New Swan Shakespeare Series)

17 reviews
William Shakespeare, John Colmer, ...

Longman Trade/Caroline House, 1986

The two sides of Hal
Henry IV remains one of my favorite Shakespeare plays, even though the tragedies and comedies get far more attention and seeming appreciation than do the histories. As an English major, I examined Henry's (Hal's) character, and I focused on his development from a somewhat foolhardy young man into a self-assured, even manipulative prince. It is hard to say which of these Hal truly is, or if he is ...

The Complete Works of Shakespeare

26 reviews
William Shakespeare

Platinum Pr, 1995

Still the best
This was the text for my college Shakespeare classes over 20 years ago (different edition of course) I still have it and still use it. A wonderful book for students and those who want not only the complete works but some well written and authoritative information about Shakespeare and the world in which he lived and wrote. The texts of the plays are well foot-noted and the type is easy on the ...

Applied Behavior Analysis

22 reviews
John O. Cooper, Timothy E. Heron, ...

Prentice Hall, 1987

Years pass and still this gleams
There are a few things about this book that should be said right away. First, this is not really an introductory book to ABA, but works as a book that ties so many theories together. That means that it could be used in conjunction with many starter ABA books, allowing its reader to get a feel of just what ABA means. The book also works on both a Masters and a PhD level when it comes to conceptual ...

Henry V: The Life of (Signet Classic Shakespeare)

William Shakespeare

Signet Classics, 1989

A popular play in an edition fabulously rich in helps
This play is best known for the St. Crispian's Day "Band of Brothers" speech given by King Henry just before the battle at Agincourt. It is a powerful speech that rallies people at all times and everywhere. Sir Lawrence Olivier made a film version in 1944 during WWII and Kenneth Branagh made another as recently as 1989. You can count on there being more versions. Epecially so when computers ...

The Science of Hitting

53 reviews
Ted Williams

Pocket, 1972

Science Indeed
What a fantastic book on hitting by one of the greates all-time hitters, Ted Williams. In a nutshell, its a book designed to teach the reader to hit better by showing them a comprehensive look at the science behind hitting. A few things that seemed to stand out: -the style of writing is like he's standing there talking to you which makes for an easy read -the batting advice is pretty thorough ...

Phantom Soldier: The Enemy's Answer to U.S. Firepower

20 reviews
H. John Poole

Posterity Press, 2001

DANGER, DANGER, WILL ROBINSON
Danger, danger, is very much the message put forth in this book and it should be heeded before it is too late. Some reviewers have mentioned Sun Tzu and his rules of warfare. Sun Tzu puts forth a very reasoned and systematic set of rules that define a nations path to victory or defeat. By definition, our present leadership has us solidly on the path of defeat. Our people in the field have to ...

The Quilts of Gee's Bend: Masterpieces from a Lost Place

24 reviews
William Arnett, Alvia Wardlaw, ...

Tinwood Books, 2002

exceptional
I remember the first time I saw photographs of the quilts of Gee's Bend in a magazine about seven years ago. I couldn't wait to learn about the amazing artists whose vision the quilts portray. This book is more outstanding than I imagined it could be. It is powerful, beautiful, sensitive, and historically accurate. I recommend The Quilts of Gee's Bend to anyone with an eye for artistic genius ...

Duncton Wood (The Duncton Chronicles, 1)

59 reviews
William Horwood

Arrow Books Ltd, 1981

Terrific
I find it difficult to reread a book, but I have read Duncton Wood three times and am beginning to reread the rest in the series. I had to order the books from Amazon UK a few years back, but I think now they might be out of print. Do what you can to find every book in the series. You won't be disappointed. I don't know what you can say to convince people to read these books, but they are worth ...

The Journals of Lewis and Clark

26 reviews
Meriwether Lewis, William Clark

Signet, 1968

Fascinating Story, Can't Stop Talking, Use Google Earth!
I read books in a wide variety of topics. I decided to read about Lewis and Clark because I felt I just did not know enough about it and I felt that I should. When I received the book, I opened it and was fearful that I made a mistake because it was made up of journal entries, day by day in Lewis and Clark's own words. I started reading and I found myself immmediately engrossed in the story. I ...

John Tollett, Robin Williams

Peachpit Press, 2005

A Must Have Reference Source
As we have all come to expect from Robin Williams, this book is written in a clear, precise manor. The illustrations are all very helpful. I particularly like the way the windows of each application are illustrated with details about each item within the window. I have been using OSX for over two years now and thought I knew my way around each of these applications, but I was able to learn a ...

The Complete Arkangel Shakespeare: 38 Fully-Dramatized Plays

William Shakespeare

BBC Audiobooks America, 2003

Shakespeare in Wisconsin
This is a gorgeous production that is indeed a treasure. I listen with a Creative Zen Vision player and every word is delicious. I have enjoyed the first seven plays, thru Hamlet, and every nuance, every word, every inflection, pause, sound, background music theme and all the audio panorama makes every minute an absolute delight. I am now in a quandary about whether to continue listening thru ...

Grilling (Williams-Sonoma Kitchen Library)

12 reviews
John Phillip Carroll

Time-Life Books, 1992

LOVE the Williams-Sonoma Series!
This is a truely wonderful addition to any cookbook collection. Unlike most cookbooks that require you to spend a lot of money buying ingredients you most probably will only use once, these recipes mostly require olive oil, garlic, onions, peppers, the basic seasonings (e.g., oregano, salt, black or lemon pepper, etc.), and occasionally one more fancy addition (making the dishes MUCH less ...

A Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life

12 reviews
William Law

Westminster John Knox Press, 1968

Very Timely
wow - what an inspirational, hard-hitting, right on read this has been. I'm still in the process of reading it but I already love it. This should be required reading for all Christians. Then perhaps the church would live differently than the world and perhaps we'd have less scandal. So far I can see that there needs to be a balance. One could easily tend towards legalism and a ...

John Bogle on Investing: The First 50 Years

John C. Bogle, William T. Allen, ...

McGraw-Hill, 2000

John Bugle, one of the brightest minds of our century
John Bugle, one of the brightest minds of our century raises some of the most important financial questions, of the last 50 years. Bogle on Great Ideas in Financing includes four criteria: 1. Simplicity - Buy the whole market haystack, an index capable of matching the market. 2. Focus (Seek the hard crusted but nutritious bagel of earnings, dividends, and interest yields rather than the sweet ...

Clifford's Blues

9 reviews
John A. Williams

Coffee House Press, 1999

BLACK MAN CAUGHT UP IN THE HOLOCAUST--A GRIPPING STORY!
I read this book a year ago and it haunts me still. John A. Williams has crafted here a story so compelling, so engrossing in its depiction of life lived on a razor's edge, that you loathe putting it down; you may feel chills when you've finished it. It's that disturbing, and that good. CLIFFORD'S BLUES affirms that Williams retains his gifts (fresh as ever in his mid-70s!) and mastery of his ...

Hardtack & Coffee or The Unwritten Story of Army Life

John D. Billings

Bison Books, 1993

Good laughs, good read and first-hand real history
I'm one of those men with the "Civil War Itch" who can't get enough reading, can't get enough time on the battlefields. This book is hands-down one of my favorites in my extensive collection, re-read several times and dog-eared. It's something I always put in my bag for air-travel reading, because you can pick it up and put it down when you need to...the author and the illustrator both were ...

The Wizard of Oz

John Fricke, Jay Scarfone, ...

Grand Central Publishing, 1990

A glorious look at the wonderful movie of "The Wizard of Oz"
Since this is "The Wizard of Oz: The Official 50th Anniversary Pictorial History" of the beloved 1939 film, it is not surprising that John Fricke, Jay Scarfone, and William Stillman have put together the book that tops the "must have" list for fans of the film (after, of course, L. Frank Baum's original novel, which just had its centennial edition come out in 1903. After an introduction by Jack ...

The New Complete Book of Self-Sufficiency

John Seymour

Dorling Kindersley Publishers Ltd, 2003

also published as "The Self-Sufficient Life and How to Live It"
"The New Complete Book of Self-Sufficiency: The Classic Guide for Realists and Dreamers," is a truly wonderful book. But I didn't know until today, when I received my copy and recognized very familiar contents, that it is almost identical to "The Self-sufficient Life and How to Live It: The Complete Back-to-Basics Guide." "The New Complete Book" seems to be the British edition of "The ...

John Abrams

Chelsea Green, 2005

Best business book I've ever read
In an age of every type of self-help tale imaginable, this is the best business book I have read period; it makes perfect sense. The Openness the author is willing to share and the research behind it is tremendously thought provoking. I have purchased numerous copies to share with my friends. Like any avid reader I picked this book in the summer and put it in the pile of about 200 "to read ...
