But this book couldn't be any better
A great great story. The ultimate example of hitting yourself in the head with a hammer because it feels so good when you stop. In this retelling of a classic Yiddish tale, the poor protagonist visits the local Rabbi with a complaint. His house is too crowded and family members are constantly getting in one another's way. As the Rabbi instructs the man to add more and more animals to his hut, ...

This is a Must Read!
This book contains critical information that could change the lives of many people. Anyone with any sort of unexplained health problems, from Alzheimers to leg pain to autism, must read this. I also wish every doctor would read it and become more aware of the prevalence of B12 deficiency. After reading it at the library, I bought a copy for myself and one for my doctor.

Finally - An Alternative to the Chicago School of Unsustainable Growth
For decades now, economic history has been deliberately suppressed in colleges and universities by a group of very deluded academics who worship Ayn Rand and her ideology of selfishness. Margaret ("There is no society") Thatcher and Alan (It's not my fault) Greenspan are among her devotees. Also known as the Chicago School, they launched their first major master plan using Pinochet in Chile in ...

Lousy title, great book.
If McLuhan hadn't been dead for almost twenty years, he could have written this book yesterday. He speaks to this moment in time. "We are all robots when uncritically involved with our technologies." He makes the point that we have met the enemy and they is us. He asserts that man has evolved beyond Darwin's limited concept of biological evolution, and we have evolved ourselves with our ...

Unique
You know before reading this book, I thought I had pretty much captured most of what the Dalai Lama had to offer by way of the written word. But this book gave me a different glimpse into the man, where we find a dialogue of intimacy and open honesty unlike we have ever seen in his other works (still wonderful other works, at that!). My favorite section in here was called "The Seduction of the ...

Exceptional Book
This book has changed my life. It is the clearest description of the Sin problem, and how our Loving God has provided for it, that I have ever read or heard. It is a logical, reasonable explanation of why God is someone we can trust, based on evidence in the Bible and also in the natural world. I have given 15 copies of this book to freinds and family, in the hopes of dispelling the myths ...

Excellent !!
None of the other books listed by Amazon sounded like they dealt with health anxiety, so I tried this one. It is EXCELLENT!!! It is very thorough and simple to understand. It has wonderful tips to use as well as suggestions on how to work with doctors and when to get additional help. Not much is written for the regular person on health anxiety, so this is a very valuable resource. Health anxiety ...

The best book ever written on poetry appreciation
This is quite possibly the best book ever written on poetry appreciation. I am an English teacher and have read more poetry appreciation texts than I can number, but this one is IT. It is informative, truthful, and, at times, absolutely hilarious. Written in a down-to-earth, conversational style, it will make you want to read all that poetry you hated or feared in school. As Timpane is fond ...

A humorous rhyming tale, filled with puns based on geography
"Jamaica Sandwich?," written by Brian Cleary and illustrated by Rick Dupre, is a humorous rhyming tale, filled with puns based on locations all over the globe. As one of four books that comprise Lerner's "It Could Be Verse" series, "Jamaica Sandwich?" centers around a geographic theme, while the others focus on subjects such as animals ("It looks a lot like Reindeer"), music ("Give me Bach my ...

We as a country have been a Fascist State for the past 20 + years.

Fun Science
I never liked science, and now I have a first grader who seems to LOVE it! Perhaps it's because of books like this one! Vividly illustrated with photographs of water, ice, snow, mist, and vapor, it has a very simple text that marvels at the magic of water. There is some explanation (freezing to make ice, heating to make vapor), but not much. Great for an introduction to a beginner reader ...

Seussian verse combined with entertaining illustrations.
As someone who started reading Dr. Seuss at age three (or so my mom claims), I am usually reluctant to compare anyone's writings to the esteemed Good Doctor. Something about Brian Cleary's "It Looks a Lot Like Reindeer," however, makes me recall some of my favorite Seuss classics, like "Fox in Sox" and "Green Eggs and Ham." Granted, Cleary's rhythmic verse shows the influence of Dr. Theodor ...

Changing from a caterpillar to a butterfly.
This book is about butterflies and caterpillars. It is a non-fiction, very good learning book. This is a great book for kids because it is educational, and it shows how things change from one thing, to another. It shows the 4 different stages. This book has beautiful photographs, and is easy to read. I have read this book and I liked it. If you read it, you will probably like it too.

A high quality early reader science book
With early reader science books, the challenge is to be clear and direct without being innacurate. This book is a success because the text is interesting and thoroughly covers the major topics of tree identification and structure. The books also covers the relationships that trees have to the total environment such as providing shade, economic products for humans, and wildlife habitat. A very ...

Intelligent Life Here!
This is a brilliant work about being in an intimate relationship with a person who has Asperger's Syndrome (AS). AS is a neurobiological condition that affects sensory processing/integration and is on the autism spectrum. It also affects communication. Many people on the a/A spectrum don't care for hugs and find them intrusive and just endure them to appease others. For many people with ...
