A "5" Could Make Me Lose Control! An activity-based method for evaluating and supporting highly anxious ... 5 reviews
Kari Dunn Buron
Autism Asperger Publishing Company, 2007
This book is a life saver
As a school psychologist working with children with all types of social skills concerns, this book is a must. The children do not have to put things into words as they just put the item in the pocket they feel it belongs. The items are very short and can be read to the children, as well. It is so visual and concrete that a child can express what bothers him without the stress of trying to put it ...

Total Workday Control Using Microsoft Outlook, 2nd Ed. 64 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 ...

Collins Living, 2006
The Bible of Fertility Awareness
Considered the "Bible" of Fertility Awareness (FAM), this book is a real eye-opener for women and girls of all ages. The information about our bodies that is contained in this book is invaluable, and should really be taught to every girl approaching puberty (or sooner!).

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 ...

Patrick Mattson
Aviation Supplies & Academics, Inc., 2006
Could not be happier!
All I can say is that the practice sets and cd-rom thoroughly prepared me for the AT-SAT. I received my book two and a half weeks before the test, and it prepared me so well that I ended with a test score above 95%. So thanks to Patrick Mattson I will soon be on my way to Oklahoma city and hopefully a very wonderful career in air traffic control!!!

Beyond Consequences, Logic, and Control: A Love-Based Approach to Helping Attachment-Challenged Children With ...46 reviews
Heather T. Forbes
Beyond Consequences Institute, LLC, 2006
This book put into words and examples things I had been discovering with my own daughter
I loved this book! It really is amazing to bring everything back to Love versus Fear and being present with your child. It sounds so easy, but most people I observe don't do it regularly and well- even "great parents"! It has been huge learning to just be there for my daughter, to listen and really hear what she is saying instead of knee jerk-reacting! It has already affected my life inside and ...

The Control of Nature30 reviews
John McPhee
Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1990
Engineering skill, policy blunders:
Mc Phee presents three well written, beautifully researched case studies, short term marvels of engineering skill and determination, doomed from the outset by humanity's ignorance and disregard of natural processes. This book examines an unstable river system in Southern Louisiana, unpredictable massive lava flows in Iceland, and episodic debris flows in Los Angeles mountain foothills. Each case ...

Motor Control: Translating Research into Clinical Practice6 reviews
Anne Shumway-Cook, Marjorie Hines Woollacott
Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2006
Worthy reading
Motor Control: Translating Research into Clinical Practice is an excelent reading for all physical therapists. The content is very well written and in an easy way. I am Brazilian and, at least in Rio de Janeiro where I live, Dr. Shumway-Cook's book offer a different point-of-view to the new PT's to not only evaluate neurological patients but also to develop a better treatment planning.

Schaum's Outline of Feedback and Control Systems (Schaum's)7 reviews

McGraw-Hill, 1994
Excellent for Undgrad Course
I'm currently taking a Feedback Control Theory course at the undergrad level, and I think this book is an excellent exposition of classical control theory. Our text for the course is Feedback Control of Dynamic Systems, written by people from Stanford. Schaum's Outline actually has more *theory* than the textbook we are using. It eliminates all of the frills and pretty colored diagrams in ...

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 ...

Rodale Books, 1996
Excellent reference for "natural" pest control!
Living in the tropics, I have had frequent failures starting up my organic garden due to pests taking it over. This year I have used some tips and "natural pesticide" recipies from this book with great success. It has also helped me identify "good" versus "bad" insects so I can better assess what treatment, if any, to use. I strongly recommend this book to anyone trying to start an organic ...

Too Perfect: When Being in Control Gets Out of Control17 reviews
Jeannette Dewyze, Allan Mallinger
Ballantine Books, 1993
Life Changing
Normally I would not be writing a review for an item. I always thought it was because I was lazy, or that I didn't care. After reading this book, I have come to realize that it was in large part because subconsciously, I could not meet my own perfectionist expectations. There are a lot of low-risk undertakings in life that I have not attempted for the same reason.
This book, for me, has ...
