Jack Riepe - A Very Funny Man
There aren't many books that make me laugh out loud as I read, but this one did it repeatedly. I think that anyone, absolutely anyone, would enjoy this book. It's not as much about cigar smoking as it is about Riepe's tremendously funny view of the world, and the ills contained therein.

Barron's Educational Series

Maybe the best basic grammar one can buy (for the price)!
This book is a combination of ESSENTIALS OF ENGLISH and some other English book. ESSENTIALS OF ENGLISH by Hopper, et al., is an excellent grammar, because it not only presents traditional grammar in a concise and straightforward manner but also gives points for differentiating between prepositions and subordinating conjunctions (for example) and other such distinctions. This grammar is ...

A True Example of Society Today
To begin with, I am a middle school teacher and I love fairy tales. When I bought the book, I was just going to use it for a few laughs. However, I have used it in my classroom as an example for my students to see society has taken the our legal system just made a mess with it. The stories are humorous. My favorite was the one about Hansel and Gretel. Several of my friends have recently ...

IEP GOALS
This book should be required reading for every parent who has a child on an IEP. Assessment generates services and IEP goals, and goals inform the parent whether the services are remediating the child. Schools must follow the Law (IDEA) on how to write goals, yet, poorly written IEP goals is one of the biggest non-compliance areas. If a child's progress can not be objectively measured by ...

An excellent introduction to the science of Hatha Yoga.
What better way could there be to present a how-to /self improvement book than to actually "walk the walk" and "talk the talk" for oneself? That is exactly what Selvarajan Yesudian has done in his excellent book on Hatha Yoga titled simply "Yoga and Health". With the help of Elisabeth Haich, he presents his story of failing health in childhood, his subsequent discovery of Hatha Yoga and his ...

a deeply incisive explanation of Christian Science
Mary Baker Eddy in1866 began a process of discovery which resulted in the understanding of Being (rather than a religion) known as Christian Science. By 1875 she had analyzed and written about her discovery in a book called "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" which has sold to date somewhere near 9,000,000 copies , and which has resulted in millions of documented physical healings ...

The Ultimate Guide For Teaching Riding
I really can't understand why this book has gone out of print. If more riders and instructors read it then maybe there wouldn't be so many problems in the horse world. I really liked the way that the book dealt with the unsaid rules of the riding academy: how an instructor-rider relationship works, how to work with grooms, and what the necessary qualities of a school horse are. It is also a ...

My Little Brothers Like It
I like this book because I can read it to my little brothers, who are 6 and 3 years old. They like the pictures, which are interesting, and they like to hear me read to them about the saints, especially the new ones we didn't know about it before. We have Joni's other saint book, too, and we like that one too!

Comprehensive and well-written
Since I started drinking kombucha tea a few months ago, I've read several books on the subject. Now that I have read Gunther W. Frank's book, I don't feel the need to read any of the remaining others. He gives complete information about what's known about the culture, different ways to brew the tea, how to store the culture, what to do when problems arise, the effects of drinking the tea, etc. ...

Basic Psych
This is one psychology book I could not put down! The subjects in this book may not be popular or even politically correct but it hits some raw basic ideas which have been pushed aside. I highly recommend this book to any person studying psychology or who just have an interest in it.

GUITAR TECHNIQUE FUNDAMENTALS THAT WORK
This is a required textbook if anyone wants to be able to play music on the guitar without obstacles . Only 000.001 % of the world's population can learn guitar successfully alone. The infinitesimal number of really good players speaks for itself. Students need proper training in how to think like a good guitar player.

Terence Sellers
Grove/Atlantic
, 1985
Shocking, graceful and insightful
Terence Sellers, possibly a pseudonym for the Dominant Mistress Angel Stern, writes a harrowing and gripping account of her continued experience in the netherworld of hardcore BDSM. Her writing style, deliberately rarefied and precise, is at once both delicate and clinical. Ms. Sellers' education as a forensic psychologist shows through in her writing; her careful presentation in-the-full of ...

Poetically Correct
I have never been much of a poetry fan---until now. These young people express themselves eloquently, and with emotion. To say I was "blown away" would be under stating my reaction to this book. This isn't a bunch of lovelorn teens bewailing their lost and found romances, but bold and honest observations of the world around them. I saw the world through the eyes of others for the time I have ...

Precision of Language: What a wonderful idea!
Robert Hartwell Fisk definitely warrants his (self-described?) label of curmudgeon; and I say that with great admiration. If you have a long list of grammatical pet peeves, his Dictionary of Disagreeable English will furnish you with an entertaining source for putting people right. If you couldn't care less about precise English, don't bother. But if you appreciate the appropriateness of ...

A very interesting and worthwhile read
Experienced construction professionals will encounter humor and a fresh perspective.

Even those remotely involved (school board member) in the on-site building effort will gain an "insiders" understanding.
