Dinosaurs: The Most Complete, Up-to-Date Encyclopedia for Dinosaur Lovers of All Ages 14 reviews
Thomas R. Jr Dr Holtz
Random House Books for Young Readers, 2007
A very good overview of the subject
This is a very good overview of the subject of dinosaurs for the lay person. It covers the systematics of the subject with good descriptions of each grouping and the morphological characters that distinguish them. Most of all it conveys to the reader the breadth of the group and how diverse dinosaurs are; they're not just giant predators and plodding plant-eating monsters, but that they ...

My Book of Easy Telling Time: Learning about Hours and Half-Hours2 reviews
Kumon Publishing North America, 2006
simply the best
I bought four Kumon workbooks for my 5 year old's kindergarten. This will be our first year homeschooling. I totally love the Kumon method. The workbooks introduce the information in a highly incremental way. The layout of the pages is very simple and consistant. I just love this workbook and am confident that it will work really well for us.

Not Another Bad Date (Avon Romance) 41 reviews
Rachel Gibson
Avon, 2008
Adored it!
This was my personal favorite of this four book series - so sad it's over! I won't rehash the plot. I'll just say: Great light paranormal twist that's been done before ("psuedo-guardian" angel needing a ticket to heaven, so must help the heroine find her HEA), and yet I've NEVER seen it done quite like this! Devon is far from a traditional "guardian angel"; she's more like an angel from hell ...

Date Out of Your League 19 reviews
April Masini
TurnKey Press, 2004
Mandatory reading for young men
I was 58 when I read this, so it didn't do me much good, what with my having already discovered by trial and error most of what the author has to say; but oh the agony I could have been spared if I'd had a book like this when I was 18. I copy of this book should be given to every boy at his high-school graduation, as he's preparing to enter the brutal world of adult dating.

Mars and Venus on a Date: A Guide for Navigating the 5 Stages of Dating to Create a Loving and Lasting ...116 reviews
John Gray
Harper Paperbacks, 1999
Best dating book I've ever read
I hated the book, Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus........... However, this book really seemed right on. Great insight for women on how men think, how men date, when and when not to call and the especially important, "Stage Two: Uncertainty period". Explains why men wait to get involved, etc. If you are baffled about men like I was, this book is worth it's weight in gold.

The Manual: A True Bad Boy Explains How Men Think, Date, and Mate--and What Women Can Do to Come Out on Top75 reviews
Steve Santagati
Crown, 2007
The Ugly, Brutal Truth--Helps You Understand the War of Sexes!
Although there is much to recommend this book, the overwhelming tone truly unscores why there is a war between the sexes. Yes, men are motivated by the visual--but, aren't there some men somewhere who are not so superficial? Sure, women (and everyone else!)needs to be thoughtful about our appearance because it speaks volumes about our mental status.
Additionally, the idea that we want to ...

How to Get a Date Worth Keeping 27 reviews
Henry Cloud
Zondervan, 2005
Dynamite Advice
When compared with other Christian dating books this author's perspective seems secular. He mentions the fundamental importance of a personal relationship with God, and then focuses on practical ways of learning healthy dating patterns. The book is not directed at teenagers but adults who are either not dating or in a dating rut. He is a professional councilor and this book systematically ...

Great book, try to get it on sale
I came across this book originally at Sam's club for $4.99, and picked it up for my son. We are homeschooling 6 children and my wife liked the book so much that she color-copies the pages so my daughter can also do the assignment. She makes several copies so even the little ones can 'try' it.
Unfortunately, the cost of color printing at home is not negligible. Since she liked it so much I ...

Maya Cosmogenesis 2012: The True Meaning of the Maya Calendar End-Date39 reviews
John Major Jenkins, Terence McKenna
Bear & Company, 1998
2012 Research starts here
John Major Jenkins has looked into the question of why the Maya ended their 13-baktun cycle in the Gregorian year 2012, and has researched the matter in incredible detail, and comes to conclusions that result from detailed study of many archaeological and specialist works. His study shows that the Maya deliberately targetted this point in time as the end of the cycle, and the evidence is found in ...

2009 Standard Catalog Of World Coins 2001-Date (Standard Catalog)1 review
Colin R Bruce
Krause Publications, 2008
More and more helpful but is it really necessary?
With every passing year the edition of a separate 21st century coin catalog becomes more justified. Any coin collector can easily list a number of countries which do their best to fill the volume with products of their mints and national banks. China and France alone add at least two to four pages yearly, Russia and Poland are not far behind. It does make sense to produce this catalog and yet ...

Why We Want You to Be Rich: Two Men, One Message 208 reviews

Rich Press, 2006
Great Book!
This is a great book by two excellent authors. I really like how the authors speak on the pertinent global issues that will affect us all financially if the educational institutions continue to ignore the importance of financial freedom and education, thus producing more voluntary and involuntary slaves (JOB) in the workforce instead of business owners (Visionary). These type of individuals will ...

April Masini
iUniverse, Inc., 2005
Amazing!
My best friend and I bought this book on the same day. We were both in bad relationships at the time and this book has changed us both for the long-term and the better. It is self-empowering: It teaches you to love yourself and put yourself FIRST, because that is what men do and it is what matters if you want a man to respect you. I've learned, IF you don't respect yourself how can you expect a ...
