Why Babies Do That: Baffling Baby Behavior Explained 11 reviews
Jennifer Margulis
Willow Creek Press, 2005
Here's Why!
I always lamented the fact that babies don't come with operating instructions. I knew What to Expect When I was Expecting, but not after. With little baby experience, and even less baby BOY experience, when my babies were born I was forced to trust my instincts and absorbed advice from friends, hoping that I was somewhere in the ballpark of "doing it right". And now, here's exactly the book that ...

Is Your Body Baby-Friendly?: Unexplained Infertility, Miscarriage & IVF Failure - Explained and Treated12 reviews
Alan E. Beer, Julia Kantecki, ...
AJR Publishing, 2006
A baby is almost guaranteed if you read this book
If your best friend was a book it would be this one. Dr Beer describes in easy to understand words how the immune system can go into overkill in some women. The result is miscarriage, IVF failure and infertility. But these outcomes can be prevented with the right tests and treatments. I read this book and found it technical when necessary but with lots of human interest stories and studies to ...

Firewalls Clearly Explained15 reviews
John R. Vacca
Academic Press, 2000
Just what I needed
I fell into the category of "I know what a router is but I hope I never have to set one up." Our routers were handled by another talented memeber of our team. When she left, I gave it shot using some manuals we had from cisco and some other informatin passed down from project to project. Completely lost, I decided to start from the beginning. This text was just the ticket to get me started!

Louis M. Savary
Paulist Press, 2007
The Gift of a Lifetime
Thank you, Dr. Savary, for the gift of a lifetime! I was introduced to Teilhard while in college over forty years ago. Teachers and students alike knew we had our hands on something very profound but were never able to get beyond "Alpha Point", "Omega Point" and "Cosmic Christ."
In this beautifully written book Louis Savary opens up and explains the world of Teilhard in terms I can ...

Leo J. Trese
Four Courts Press Ltd, 1989
Sophisticated in simplicity and clarity...
I've owned this book now for about 3 years and have read it through all the way, once. I've gone back to sections for refresher information, many, many times. What I like the most about this book is, if you do not have the capacity (time, or stamina) to read the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) all the way through - this is an excellent way to get "more than the basics" of what is in the ...

Good overview of design
I'm an automotive designer who enjoys technical reading. Over the years I've subscribed to numerous boating publications and have purchased a handfull of books on sail power yacht design. This book is by far the best. It will answer many of your questions such as "why is a longer hull faster?", "why does 1.34 x the square root of the waterline length approximate max hull speed?".

Kit Williams
Workman Publishing Company, 1993
Masquerade
I first learned of this by reading a book with information on treasure hunts. It told the answers, and I thought, "How hard could this be?" As soon as I could, I checked Masquerade out from the library. I read it, tried to put the answers with the pages, and it was hard! I would definitely recommend this book.

Wonderful book on taxes and real estate!
I've been looking into the possibility of real estate investment, but I got concerned about a number of things, including capital gains taxes. When I first saw the title, I was afraid that it was another "get-rich-quick" book. I was delighted to see that it wasn't. The book focuses on how to reduce your taxes legally and how to plan your real estate investments. I appreciated both emphases.

How to Be a Great Astrologer: The Planetary Aspects Explained7 reviews
James Braha
Hermetician Pr, 1992
Pure, Essential, Archetypical
The title almost made me bypass this book. That would have been unfortunate, for this is the best reference on the meaning of planetary aspects and lunar nodes that I have found. Chart interpretation involving these features bears about as much relationship to simple "sun sign" astrology, as basic arithmetic bears to calculus. Aspects are the angular relationships between planets in a birth ...
