1 review
Kevin Powell

Atria, 2008

"Great Advice For Black Males To Help Themselves."
Kevin Powell's book, The Black Male Handbook is a collection of essays that provide insight and instruction on how black males can transform their lives from mediocrity and turmoil to success and peace of mind. I like the fact that the book covers areas such as spirituality, health, finances, mental health, political awarness and relationships. Presenting the information in the form of essays ...

Blueprints Obstetrics and Gynecology (Blueprints Series)

Tamara L Callahan, Aaron B Caughey

Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2008

Fabulous book
I felt extremely prepared by using BP Ob/Gyn and Case Files Ob/Gyn. As a medical student, I was on a busy service with lots of hands on experiences in both these fields. Although I sometimes had questions that didn't fall into the high yield format of these books, if you know them both well it will make your life easier (you'll be prepared for work-up/management issues) and you'll look like an ...

Blueprints Pediatrics (Blueprints Series)

24 reviews

Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2008

Excellent book for clerkship
I used this book after receiving recommendations for it from literally every person I knew who has been through Pediatrics at multiple medical schools. The book is thorough but doesn't drag you through muddy details, making it an excellent resource for figuring out patients with common problems. Reading it cover-to-cover, along with a question book like PreTest is excellent preparation for the ...

The Law

Frederick Bastiat

BN Publishing, 2008

Convincing argument for small government
I was given a copy of The Law, by Frederic Bastiat, by a friend who thought I might be interested in its contents. I was expecting an American flag-waving document on patriotism, but instead I found this reasonable booklet by a French statesman, written in 1850, just after the Revolution of 1848, because the author was concerned about France's rapid slide into socialism and communism. The ...

The Adamas Blueprint

12 reviews, 2009

Can't read it Fast Enough
Let me just say that never one time throughout the book did I think: Come on and get on with the story! This book was so enjoyable for me that I couldn't read it fast enough. And then I was upset when it was over. Good reading like that I want to go on and on. If you like excitement and thrills, you must read this book.

The Emotionally Unavailable Man: A Blueprint for Healing

Patti Henry

Rainbow Books, Inc., 2004

Great book!
My husband and I are eternally grateful to Patti Henry for writing this book. It profoundly changed our marriage and, I believe, potentially saved it from deterioration before it even had a chance to get off the ground. While I was dating my husband, it appeared his heart was open to me and that I was the woman of his dreams, but shortly after we got married, I experienced a clamming up with ...

Search Engine Optimization: Your Visual Blueprint for Effective Internet Marketing

26 reviews
Kristopher B. Jones

Visual, 2008

Great Reference Material
I like to buy books that I will reference time and time again. This book fits that category. It is a broad overview of the SEO field. A lot of books are way too basic to be of any practical use but this book is good for an intermediate level internet marketer. Basically, it gives me a broad overview of an SEO tool that I then google and research some more. A great investment for ...

The Not So Big House: A Blueprint for the Way We Really Live (Susanka)

Sarah Susanka, Kira Obolensky

Taunton, 2008

A Homeowner Classic
This book changed the way I look into houses. We live in our second townhouse and we cannot figure out what is missing or what is wrong with it . Somehow we just felt not as comfortable and attached as compared to the smaller and older house that we have sold. At first we were excited to have everything bigger - higher ceiling, more space, walk-in closets, etc., but we forgot something very ...

Integral Books, 2008

Integral Life Practice - Ken Wilber's Latest
OK, it says that this book was written by three people (Terry Patten, Adam Leonard and Marco Morelli) and that Ken Wilber was only the meta-author, it is so strongly drenched in everything Wilber wrote before that he might as well have written it himself. The three co-authors are clearly very faithful disciples of Wilber's. That said, I believe the book's contents are awesome. This is a very ...

Step 3 hopeful
Not only is this book concise and affordable, but it is also extremely helpful. I am writing this review after having taken step 3 and I can say that the content is a good reflection of the test. Good luck!

Linda Darling-Hammond

Jossey-Bass, 2001

This Is The Tree Falling In The Forest. Do You Hear It?
I am immensely impressed by Ms. Darling-Hammond's book. She has presented an incredible about of research and information and done it in an articulate defense of reform--for the student's sake, and ultimately, for everyone's sake. She begins by setting it all in perspective, outlining different waves that have swept over public education over the last fifty years. Later, she identifies nine ...

Lee Schneller

Storey Publishing, LLC, 2009

The Perfect Book for Artistic, Practical Gardens
There are many beautiful, artistic gardening books that have little practical value. There are an equal number of practical books that are not aesthetically exciting. Lee Schneller's "The Ever-Blooming Flower Garden" is the perfect combination.It not only tells you what to plant that will create the effect you want, when you want it, but it also tells you what not to plant and why. The charts and ...

New Riders Press, 2009

Information Architecture defined...(2nd Edition review)
Wodkte and Govella do a good job in outlining their definition of the basic principles of IA: - Design for Wayfinding - Set expectations and provide feedback - Design ergonomically - Be consistent / consider standards - Provide error support (Prevent, Protect, and Inform) - Rely on Recognition rather than on recall - Provide for people of varying skill levels - Provide contextual help and ...

Blueprint Crochet: Modern Designs for the Visual Crocheter

Robyn Chachula

Interweave Press, 2008

A must for any crocheter's library
I'm a big fan of Robin Chuchula and was excited when she came out with Blueprint Crochet. I've seen her patterns in several magazines plus Crochet Me and always found her patterns to be easy to follow as well as stylish with a classic look to them. And then the bonus of this book is that she's bringing the use of visually representing crochet patterns, using the international symbols, to a ...

The Cancer Prevention Diet: Michio Kushi's Macrobiotic Blueprint for the Prevention and Relief of Disease

9 reviews
Michio Kushi, Alex Jack

St. Martin's Griffin, 1994

The most thorough treatise on the subject
This book does an excellent job of summarizing and organizing all of the work done by Michio Kushi and others over the span of decades working with cancer patients. Though Macrobiotics is based on much Japanese culture, this book is geared to the westernized/American reader so there is very little in the way of cultural chasm to jump over. Many of the reviews up here are rather ill-informed. ...

Innovation to the Core: A Blueprint for Transforming the Way Your Company Innovates

9 reviews
Peter Skarzynski, Rowan Gibson

Harvard Business School Press, 2008

Innovative thinking about innovative thinking
I am among those who agree with Michael Porter that "the essence of strategy is choosing what not to do" and with Peter Drucker that "there is surely nothing quite so useless as doing with great efficiency what should not be done at all." These two observations are directly relevant to the material that Peter Skarzynski and Rowan Gibson present as they respond brilliantly to questions such as ...

Isralestine: The Ancient Blueprints of the Future Middle East

Bill Salus

HighWay, 2008

Isralestine, Future or Fantasy?
"Isralestine" is a book which will make you think deeply. It will challenge your paradigms. It is as exciting a read as a thriller but much more interesting. Of its detractors, I have only read one whose comments struck me as fair and objective and whose points were worth considering. My opinion is that Bill Salus has tried to be as objective as possible. One thing is sure: he knows his subject ...
