Wish I had this book when I was a kid

Filled with upbeat stories told in an engaging manner, it gives you all the basics from student loans to car loans to real estate mortgages (bet lots of people out there today wish they would have read this part before the latest fiasco!).

How to Get Ideas

Jack Foster

Berrett-Koehler Publishers, 2007

The original book came out in 1996. This new version only has 1 review so far - so I wrote a second.
This is a really good book. It was entertaining to read while also educational. The first edition came out in 1996 I think, and this edition just came out earlier this month. The new edition has two new chapters, 5 and 8, which were added because readers thought the information they contain was missing from the first edition. The book is split into two parts. The first part covers 10 ways you ...

Beverly Kaye, Sharon Jordan-Evans

Berrett-Koehler Publishers, 2005

Everything you need to know about engaging your employees
Unlike the hundreds of management books out there that can be rather philosophical and academic on how to create a productive work environment (with many of the concepts capable of being covered in three, not three hundred, pages), this book focuses on 26 strategies with countless practical actions under each strategy that a manager can take to make the work environment (read: "people") highly ...

Kid Cooperation: How to Stop Yelling, Nagging and Pleading and Get Kids to Cooperate

60 reviews
Elizabeth Pantley

New Harbinger Publications, 1996

Excellent advice for parents
This book is easy to read, in a friendly, conversational tone. I do not find Pantley patronizing or lecturing as a few other readers have suggested. I rather find that she comes across as "a good friend in the same boat". It works fine to read just a little at a time of this book if you are a busy parent with little time to spare for reading. I actually found myself reading it as slow as I could ...

Baby Signs, 2006

A fun "I want to start now!" starter kit
For parents and caregivers who just want the basics of Why and How to get started and don't have the time to do a lot of reading, this makes a great introduction to the Baby Signs Programs. There are many other resources available from the Baby Signs Institute but this is the one kit you want to get for expectant and new parents - great baby shower or new baby gift. It's one for parents and ...

U2: At the END of the WORLD

Bill Flanagan

Delacorte Press, 1995

Travel with and get to know the band
After reading this book, I felt like I really understood what was going on in their heads while writting Achtung Baby! and the music was better for it. I've read some of the more recent books about U2 and also about Bono and this tops them all. It's a day in the life, before 9/11 and before all that came after for them. If you love U2 like I love U2, read this book.

Drug Crazy : How We Got into This Mess and How We Can Get Out

66 reviews
Mike Gray

Routledge, 2000

Dealing with Our Addiction
When it became clear that the medicines called opiates were highly addictive and caused health problems, they were dealt with as nicotine and alcohol are dealt with today. There were honest and realistic public service messages warning of the dangers of opiates, and there was medical help that greatly limited the damage they did to the individual and which had a chance of eliminating his or her ...

The Dog Is Not a Toy: House Rule #4

Darby Conley

Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2001

THE TRUTH ABOUT CATS AND DOGS
Recently, I began to slowly return to the barren landscape that is today's newspaper comic section. I soon discovered 2 strips that I actually looked forward to reading every day - The Boondocks and Get Fuzzy. After warming up to The Boondocks, I went out and bought every book to catch up on this unique strip. Needless to say, I also did the same thing for Get Fuzzy. The Dog Is Not A Toy (House ...

Audition: Everything an Actor Needs to Know to Get the Part

49 reviews
Michael Shurtleff

Walker & Company, 2003

Invaluable for Auditions and Beyond
Considering the low price, I can't imagine a more valuable book for the actor. Michael Shurtleff is a luminary of theatre, and this book reads like a private class with him. Remember, this is a guy who basically launched the careers of DeNiro, Streisand, Redford, Vereen, Tomlin, Midler, and Hoffman. His wonderful career included both Broadway and film casting. He knows a lot, and in this ...

Ellen Phillips

Vintage, 1998

Every Amazon.com customer needs to get this book!
Anyone who has made enough transactions with Amazon.com can tell you, Amazon.com has its share of foul-ups. And when mistakes (that are bound to happen from time-to-time) do happen, the biggest errors occur in their customer service department. For me, I know that I have written e-mail after e-mail complaining about RUDE, ERRONEOUS and downright FRAUDULENT communication emanating from the ...

Cheaper Than Therapy: How to Keep Life's Small Problems from Becoming Big Ones

34 reviews
Gina Greenlee

Aventine Press, 2005

Coping with Clutter
This charmingly simple book spoke volumes to me about the dangers of a disorganized life, and brought to mind several practical applications. If I don't hang up my clothes every night, my bedroom is soon an unworkable mess. If I don't take care of my mail (and other paperwork) diligently and often, it soon becomes overwhelming, and I can't find that piece of paper I really need. If I don't ...

Straight from the Horse's Mouth: How to Talk to Animals and Get Answers

Amelia Kinkade

New World Library, 2005

Book review
This was a very informative book - Amelia Kinkade did a very good job at explaining how to talk with animals. A lot of what she said I could relate to, and with her style of writing, easy to put in focus. Her chapter on "crossing over" was especially well written and informative. This is one of the only books on this subject I've read from cover to cover, and I would recommend this book to ...

Bob Berg

Burg Communications, 1998

Move over, Dale Carnegie!
Great ideas! If Dale Carnegie were still around I would think he'd be saying "I wish that `How to Win Friends and Influence People' was as comprehensive and useful as Bob Burg's ideas". This book could be called "Human Relations 101". Filled with great, specific ideas on how to handle everything from tactfully turning down an invitation to politely getting off a call from a fund raiser to ...

Iliad and Odyssey boxed set

Homer

Penguin Classics, 1999

The ground is dark with blood
The Iliad With many books, translations are negligible, with two obvious exceptions, one is the Bible, and surprisingly the other is The Iliad. For example: "Rage--Goddess, sing the rage of Peleus' son Achilles, Murderous, doomed, that cost the Achaeans countless losses, hurling down to the House of Death so many souls, great fighters' souls. But made their bodies carrion, feasts ...

The Nonrunner's Marathon Guide for Women: Get Off Your Butt and On with Your Training

Dawn Dais

Seal Press, 2007

Running in spite of myself
I had not run a race in 10 years. This did not bother me at at all. Until about 6 months after I was diagnosed with a serious kidney condition and my doctor uttered the words " Well, you'll probably never run a marathon, but you can still exercise." A few days later I saw Dawn Dais's book The Non-Runner's Marathon Guide for Women in REI, and picked it up. As I started to flip through the ...
