Brilliant!
Now I'm not the sort of person to buy these sort of books and I was a little dubious as to what a book could tell me that I didn't all ready know. Written by a woman for men, it tells us all those things women instantly expect men to know, and some! Trust me when I say you can get her reaching the big 'O' every single time using the information in this book!

Hyper-chondriac: One Man's Quest to Hurry Up and Calm Down

63 reviews

Atria Books, 2007

I have never laughed this hard while reading
HYSTERICAL. Such a creative and imaginative writer. The scenarios he comes up with are AWESOME. I sometimes find myself thinking "oh my God, is he living in my head?!?". His humor and ridiculous stories have actually helped me past certain things in my life and have helped me to realize that i'm not insane (not certifiably anyway)!! I love, love, love this book. I recommend it to anyone ...

Down These Mean Streets

Piri Thomas

Signet, 1969

One of the best memoirs ever written
I've read this book more than a few times and have taught it to different level readers a few extra times. There was one high school student who came to me after the book was done and told me, "This is the first book I ever finished." Even if it's not the first book you've read, you'll find writing that is fearless, honest, and powerful. You won't forget it, and if you're really lucky, you'll ...

Jacqueline Fee

Down East Books, 2002

Must have for knitters, even if you are a visual learner
I am a learn-by-doing-and-watching person. I do not generally learn well from books, although I have purchased several, including Barbara Walker's Knit from the Top and several Zimmermann books. Nevertheless, if you are serious about improving your knitting and want to have a little fun at it, too, this is the book. The key to this book is to knit the "sweater sampler" by which Fee takes you ...

Three Rivers Press, 2006

Amazing Results
On 11/30/2007 my total cholesterol was 220, LDL 166, HDL 43, and triglycerides 53. My Doctor recommended that I start Lipitor.

WHEN PRIDE STILL MATTERED : A Life of Vince Lombardi

141 reviews
David Maraniss

Simon & Schuster, 1999

A very engrossing read
I picked up this book after hearing a strong recommendation. I knew next to nothing about Vince Lombardi, other than that he was an excellent football coach. Very glad I bought the book as this was a particularly engrossing biography. The author was very thorough in his research and traces Lombardi's life in detail for his full nearly 60 years. He provides a lot of detail on Lombardi's ...

Top-Down Network Design

28 reviews

Cisco Press, 2008

Measure Twice, Cut Once
Like the carpenter, the network designer does well to develop a plan before purchase. The title, Top-Down Network Design, is accurate because the author's key approach throughout the book is to consider what works best for the end user and meet the goals of a Request for Proposal. Priscilla Oppenheimer has presented a well structured textbook that covers every facet of networking in general ...

Thomas Childers

Da Capo Press, 1996

Exceptional
Through the years, I've read a number of histories and memoirs on the Eighth Air Force in World War II. Many of those volumes, published over 6 decades, were more authoritative, complete, wide-ranging, and fact-filled than this volume. Yet if I had to recommend a SINGLE book to give someone the flavor of all of those experiences represented by all those many books, this would be the one. ...

Jove, 1986

Touched my life in a very special way....
I received this book for my 10th birthday from my parents, many years ago. At the time, I was very impressionable and this book made a significant impact on my life. I learned then that what we as fallible humans consider to be "imperfect" according to our standards of ignorance and bias is usually the most precious of all things to God. Now, I have a two-year-old son with Down Syndrome and I ...

Deep Down Things: The Breathtaking Beauty of Particle Physics

26 reviews
Bruce A. Schumm

The Johns Hopkins University Press, 2004

Particle Physics Made Easy
This book should be a must read for anyone that tries to understand particle physics. I've been looking for something like this for a long time. The Standard Model is explained with great skill and clarity, and with minimal use of math. This is not a mathematical book, but where minimal mathematics becomes necessary (group theory), it is introduced with the assumption that the reader knows next ...

This book excerpt gives a glimpse of prison life at Attica Corrctional Facility and the uprising of the inmates decades ago, from the perspectives of a guard, a teacher and an inmate. Through their eyes we begin to see the horror of prison life, and can only guess at the tragedy that is about to unfold. A compelling beginning to what will likely be a riveting story.

22 reviews
Kimberly L. McCall

Booklocker.com, Inc., 2003

A breezy book packed with valuable nuggets
It's an unfortunate irony that the field of marketing and communications is littered with so many "how-to" books that are unfocused and unclear. "Sell It, Baby!" provides an antidote - it's a concise collection of marketing tips and tricks that's divided by subject and easy to read. McCall calls herself a business cynic - "think Andy Rooney with lots of hair and a great handbag collection," she ...

The Answer!
Every June, my husband, four kids and I pack up and leave sunny South Florida and head to our home in Ecuador S.A. and the cool crisp weather of the Andes. After a week in the mountains my whole family feels better, looks better and has double energy. After returning home this past September I soon began to feel slightly sluggish and noticed my kids becoming more irritable. Shortly after the ...
