Wonderful book
The best training book I've ever read. It's written for handlers with reactive or excitable dogs and for agility professionals as well. McDevitt shows how handlers can help their dogs relax and focus so that it's possible to learn and so that teamwork is possible and fun for the dogs and for their people. Her book is full of love for dogs as the amazing creatures they are. A beautiful spirit, ...

How to Get Control of Your Time and Your Life (Signet)55 reviews
Alan Lakein
Signet, 1989
Best Basic Time Management Book
This is the best introduction to time management. I believe one of the hallmarks of a good time management book is that one shouldn't have to spend a lot of time reading it. This book is brief, concise, and just about every sentence is useful. If you need to improve your time management skills start with this book.
Implementing just a few of the author's ideas will make your life more ...

Total Workday Control Using Microsoft Outlook, 2nd Ed.62 reviews
Michael Linenberger
New Academy Publishers, 2008
The system actually works!
It took me about 3 hours of reading the philosphy behind the system (this is important - don't skip it) and another 2 hours of setting up and tweaking Outlook. The first day or two afterwards were strange as I tried to get accustomed to the system, but now, after a few weeks, I couldn't live without it. It's not all about email management (that's a minor concern for me, although having a ...

Control Of Communicable Diseases Manual (Control of Communicable Diseases Manual) (Control of Communicable ...12 reviews
David L. Heymann
American Public Health Association, 2004
Excellent Source Book
I have multiple books on infectious disease which cover the topic in great detail. These books are very useful when intricate detail is needed.However, the "Control of Communicable Diseases Manual" is a book that in its concise format is extremely valuable when you need to get a quick, yet comprehensive overview of a particular disease.
I highly recommend this volume.

Anne Shumway-Cook, Marjorie Hines Woollacott
Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2006
Good Theoritical Book
This book is focusing on Motor theories. Wealth and rich of new Neurorehabilitation concepts, however, this book is not helpful for those who are looking for Neurorehabilitation Techniques in clinical context. This book is not good for someone e.i Physiacl Therapist who is looking for clinical details about the Neurological techniques.

The Anger Control Workbook9 reviews
Matthew McKay, Peter Rogers
New Harbinger Publications, 2000
Complete perfection in self-help book writing that actually WORKS
I love using self-help books as therapy: they are reasonably cheap and they mobilize you sometimes even better than a therapist - as you know you can't become passive or rely on someone else for your progress.
Over the years, I've seen quite a few good self-help books, and God knows, I've been duped by a few unhelpful ones in glossy covers. It always puzzles me to see how some of these real ...

I highly recommend this book to anyone who is preparing to take the AT-SAT exam. Had it not been for this book, I would have been totally lost on the test. I scored a 97.7 and I owe it mostly to the preparation and study guide included in this book but not only that it included a Cd-rom that resembled the test... !!!

Total Control: High Performance Street Riding Techniques55 reviews
Lee Parks
Motorbooks, 2003
for serious sportbike riders and future track stars
Purchased the book for my son whose passion is riding his sportbike on the track and hopefully race in the future. Read portions of the book myself and I have to recommend it to all who are sportbike aficionados. The book is to the point - dead center. Gives great pointers, helps you understand what you may be unable to articulate. Great read!

The Control of Nature28 reviews
John McPhee
Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1990
People's Efforts, People's Errors
McPhee examines three recent attempts by man to alter natural changes on the surface of the planet. The first is the Corps of Engineers attempt to control of the flow and course of the Mississippi as it heads, with ever increasing power, toward New Orleans, or Texas if it had its way. And if you think that there was not some early warning of eventual problems in New Orleans, note that this book ...

Out of Control: The New Biology of Machines, Social Systems, & the Economic World47 reviews
Kevin Kelly
Basic Books, 1995
Perhaps the most important book of the 90s
Why are the three most powerful forces in our world--evolution, democracy and capitalism--so controversial? Hundreds (in the case of democracy, thousands) of years after they were first understood, we still can't quite believe these three phenomena work. Socialist Europe resists capitalism, the religious right in America questions evolution and the Middle East makes a mockery of democracy. When ...

Cruise Control: Understanding Sex Addiction in Gay Men8 reviews
Robert Weiss
Alyson Books, 2005
Every gay man should read this
As someone whose addiction only very slowly dawned on me - I knew I was unhappy and depressed but didn't really understand why until a friend told me about his substance addiction and how it went in six week cycles and another friend told me about his sex addiction - then I got the feeling that maybe I also had a problem. I had this book on my Amazon wishlist for months before I bought it - the ...

Norman S. Nise
Wiley, 2007
Great Text!!
As a student in control systems engineering, I found this text to be very valuable (I had the 3rd Edition then). As an engineer, I found it to be my everyday reference. A few years back, I jumped ship from the engineering field and have obtained a PhD in another field of science and to my surprise, I still reference this text today. Great Text!! Dorf and Bishop is not bad but Nise takes first ...

Common Sense that works for everyone
I bought this book at a garage sale when my son was only a toddler "just in case" I ever needed it. It remained on the book shelf, unread, until lately when same son is almost 17 years old.
Regardless of the age of the child, this book contains lots of sense without lots of fancy language or the pop psychology ideas that might be misleading you at the moment. It is blunt and to the point. ...

Nelson DeMille influence
Being cautious not to find a book that I wouldn't finish, I downloaded the electronic version from my library. My most favorite book in the world is Nelson DeMille's Charm School, and now David's Total Control shares that title. The 624 pages went FAST. This is a page turner that you just can't wait to find out what the next exciting action packed page has in store! I could not believe the ...

Amazing and empowering - this book changes lives
This book is so empowering for women. Thanks to Taking Charge of Your Fertility, I was able to determine I probably had PCOS (which I did) and was finally able to get pregnant after years of trying to conceive. I was even able to determine that I was probably having a girl when I was only three weeks pregnant! (I have a two-year-old daughter now.) I've used the TCOYF method for pregnancy ...

Read this book. It will help.
This book was recommended to me by an LCS when I sought help for depression several years ago. I was also perscribed Prozac which I took for several months. The combination worked for me and the book in particular was a great tool for me long term. CBT worked for me and this book was key.
I appreciated that this book was about DOING something about your emotions vs. thinking about and ...
