Contented Cows Give Better Milk

Richard Hadden, Bill Catlette

Williford Communications, 2000

Who's Milking Whom?
Don't be deterred by the title (initially I was) because it is appropriate to the authors' purposes in their essentially serious analysis of why only some companies sustain market supremacy and profitability...and why the others don't. Years ago, Jack Welch (then CEO of GE, one of the six companies featured in this book) explained why he admires entrepreneurial companies: "For one, they ...

An Over and Again Read
Click, Clack, Moo: Cows that Type, written by Doreen Cronin and published by Simon and Schuster Books for Young Readers, is a humorous rendition of animal life on the farm.

Negotiations are ...

The Little Book of Hindu Deities: From the Goddess of Wealth to the Sacred Cow (Little Book)

Sanjay Patel

Plume, 2006

Really enlightening!
I found this book really mind-blowing. I grew up in India.However didn't get to know much about hinduism, because Mom was an athiest. But had the basic knowledge about Hindu Gods from different sources(Family, visiting Temples, Television,Movies etc). As I grew up, had lot of basic questions, and really felt bad about it. Thought it was too late for me to ask now. I read this book and it cleared ...

The Untold Story of Milk: Green Pastures, Contented Cows and Raw Dairy Products

25 reviews
Ron Schmid

NewTrends Publishing, Inc., 2003

Real Milk Returns
Schmid very carefully tells the history of milk and once you are informed you will be sickened by current "legal" dairy practices. If you have ever driven by large dairies (especially in Idaho) and inhaled the stink of confined cows and observed the mud and filth they live in this book is a must read. Rock on "Real Milk".

Good Idea?
I am thinking about buying this book, is it a good choice to buy it--or not?

Blood Legacy: The Novel (Blood Legacy)

Kerri Hawkins

Top Cow Productions/Image Comics, 2002

Word of Mouth
Yes, word of mouth is a good way to spread the word. I did a search here in Amazon of vampire books with good reviews, and this series was one of the first. The bookstore I usually go to didn't have it, so I had them order it for me. They said it usually takes 2 weeks, so it was ok with me. 3 weeks passed when I went back & found it was never sent! Ugh! They did it again, but I was already ...

Cow Moo Me (Harper Growing Tree)

Stephen Losordo

HarperFestival, 1998

Great "Poem" for babies
We recieved a copy of this book as a present when our baby was born. Honestly, the art is not my thing at all. Its that weird collage style. So, if it was up to me, I would give this book 3 stars but my daughter absolutely loves it. She's 8 months old and always gets so excited when we read it that its on heavy rotation. I like how it teaches about animal sounds but with a fun rythem. Eventualy, ...

Don't miss out on this one
This is the cutest book. All the kids just love it, from 1-5 years. You can sing the words to the book to the song "Skip to my lou" There is a cute little white mouse hiding on every page. The kids can't get enough of it!

The Family That Couldn't Sleep: A Medical Mystery

24 reviews
D.T. Max

Random House, 2006

A story well told -- and, unfortunately, it's a true one
This book does a lot to clear up the story of prions, what they are, what they do, how their threat is real. The Italian family who gives the story its title is but one instance of prions affecting human and animal life. The research is impeccable, and particularly interesting is the process by which medical and veterinary sciences came together to begin unraveling the prion mystery. Because, to ...

Farmer McPeepers and His Missing Milk Cows

Katy S. Duffield

Rising Moon, 2003

Read Across America
This cute story fits nicely with our Northern California Sonoma County Agricultural heritage. The errant cows cavort in the most un-cow like fashion that captivate the reader, much in the same fashion as the Click Clack Moo books. This book was selected by the California Teachers Association as the theme book for the 2006 Read Across America activities celebrating the birth of Dr. Seuss. The ...

Malcolm Henderson

iUniverse, Inc., 2004

A psychologist's perspective
I have just finished reading, for the second time, Malcolm Henderson's enchanting tour of a marvelous part of the world and his introduction to some wonderful people. Mr. Henderson has what other writers wish they had, the innate gift of being able to tell a story. In this delightful book Mr. Henderson displays the qualities of a Mark Twain, or Ambrose Bierce in that regard. This book would ...

Two Cool Cows

Toby Speed, 1995

A favorite book
When my daughter was two years old, she requested (okay, insisted!) that my husband or I read this book to her every night. She absolutely adored the wonderful rhymes and the fantastic illustrations. Now that she's nine, I've suggested that we pass the book on to younger cousins--but she refuses to entertain such a thought. The book has become an old friend to her, and she feels comfortable ...

Bone Volume 2: The Great Cow Race

12 reviews
Jeff Smith

GRAPHIX, 2005

Good series
The only drawback off this TPB is its length - this comics is simplistic so you go through the book fast. But the story is great, characters are engaging and you have to wait for the next volume. Note - this edition is colored and is really beautiful. Can't imaging it in any other quality.

The Cow Whisperer

The Darkness Compendium Edition (Compendium)

12 reviews
Garth Ennis, Paul Jenkins, ...

Top Cow Productions/Image Comics, 2006

Worth the money!!!
The Compendium allows you to catch-up on the history of The Darkness with the first 40 issues. Please note, it is missing a few of the cross-over issues like Witchblade #18 & #19, but it tells you which ones so you can get them later if you like. For the price and free shipping, you can't beat it! Warning: this book is fatter and heavier than some dictionaries with its 1280 pages, but so well ...

Where Would Cows Hide?

D. C. Stewart

Baker Trittin Press, 2008

Fantastic Family & Tweener Book
My son and I, yes I, enjoyed this book. My little guy is 8 and it really held his attention. D.C. understands siblings and how they relate to each other. As a mom I was reading it with mom thoughts. I felt like D.C. really captured what family dynamics are realistically. She creates for "tweeners" suspense in the story that pull them along to want to find out what will happen next. The twins keep ...

Karma Wilson

Little, Brown Young Readers, 2005

Wilson at her best
Too bad this one is out of print. It's the best of the Karma Wilson's I've read so far. The usual rhymes and illustrations you expect from her are there. But it's also funny and lively. I'd recommend for any kid 2-6

Holy Cow! Does God Care about What We Eat?

Hope Egan

First Fruits of Zion, 2005

A Fantastic Treatment of a Deserving Topic
Traditional Christian doctrine tells us that God gave dietary laws to Israel, but then abolished those laws when our Messiah came. There are quite a few New Testament scriptures to back up this view, to be sure -- I used to rely on them heavily myself to defend my non-kosher diet! I became suspicious that something was amiss when I came across Isaiah 65:4, where God expresses his disgust with the ...
