The Fluoride Deception35 reviews
Christopher Bryson
Seven Stories Press, 2006
Scary but true
I read this book as part of a book club and was absolutely amazed at the history of lies and chicanery associated with flouride in our water, toothpaste and dental use. If you want validation of what is in the book look no further than the January 2008 issue of Scientific American who interviews and quotes many of the scientists whose stories are found in this book.
I used to think that ...

In the places I have worked, I have been regarded extremely highly for my layout skills.
This book, with a little creativity, is the basis of almost ...

It plays like a movie in your mind!
How did Feder do it. She creates a nice slow climb of suspense that is an enjoyable read you delight in. Getting to know the characters and finding out how they mix and then like a roller coaster cresting from the first huge uphill track it comes careening down giving you nausea and heart palpitations that don't seem to stop and it continues with turn after turn after turn you're wanting it to ...

Heirloom Machine Quilting: A Comprehensive Guide to Hand-Quilted Effects Using Your Sewing Machine27 reviews
Harriet Hargrave
Watson-Guptill Publications, 1995
As good as all the other reviewers said it was.
From the outset, learning why some things are done this way rather than that, I wanted to gather and destroy the five quilts I've made because they don't even approach "good" quality (forget heirloom quality). Getting past that, there was really useful information that made completing the quilt I was currently working on much easier and showed why some of my earlier ones are in the shape they ...

Somewhere in this long list of raves you will find my first review of this book. I gave it four stars. That was very high praise from me...back then when I had just finished the book and thought 5 stars was fawning. Now I know I was wrong. I finally put another book in the space CorelDRAW f/x was supposed to occupy on my shelf. It sits by my computer while I work, and frequently comes with ...

So far I've only gotten throught the first chapter. It's a dense amount of information, but it is incredibly well written and informative. No extra words just to take up space and get something into book format. It's definetly a text book. The first chapter gives you an extensive review of the human relationship with drugs since the beginning of time, and forty pages later, I feel enlightened and ...
