Elisabeth Freeman, Eric Freeman, ...
O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2004
Head First is good for your brain.
I love this book. It is my first Head First book and I intend to buy more. It is really a fun way to learn. Though the book deals with some advanced topics, the way the material is presented makes it easier to get into your brain.
My suggestion is to pick up one of these books in a book store, skim through it to get the idea of where they're coming from, then buy the book from Amazon. (It's ...

Head First Servlets and JSP: Passing the Sun Certified Web Component Developer Exam (Brain-Friendly Guides)122 reviews
Bryan Basham, Kathy Sierra, ...
O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2008
Great Book to Pick-up Servlets & JSPs Quickly
The recently released edition of the book is a great improvement - there is less errata and the Q&A is much more tied into the Sun Web Component Exam.
One of the challenges with picking up Servlets & JSPs is the mass of acronyms and figuring out how it all relates to Java. The Head First book is here to help pick-up the technology as fast as possible and in a fun way.
This book has some of ...

Open the doors to the mind by lubricating the hinges!
Roger von Oech deeply understands that the creative juices flow best when people are relaxed and having fun. He does this by creating a common sense book that has easy to read, and powerful exercise to help tap into the creative nature that we all have.

Over My Head: A Doctor's Own Story of Head Injury from the Inside Looking Out59 reviews
Claudia L. Osborn
Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2000
Brain Fog Unfogged -- A Feat in Communication
Osborn does what is virtually impossible. She translates the fog of a damaged brain's function into vignettes that an undamaged brain can comprehend.
In her case, this translation is from experiences which were by definition wordless, disorganized, incomprehensible, frightening and often completely mindless to their opposites. The level of Dr. Osborn's skill in doing this may be best ...

Head Cases: Stories of Brain Injury and Its Aftermath7 reviews
Michael Paul Mason
Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2008
Difficult to read, difficult to put down
I was cringing all the way through this book, horrified at the accidents and the run-around that the injured get in our pathetic excuse for a health care system. Mason doesn't go too much into neuroscientific details, but focuses instead on how the injury has affected the injured, their lives and livelihood, their friends and family, and how they have learned or failed to learn to live with ...

Scholastic Paperbacks, 2008
great
I thought this was a great book! I know there was a review above that stated that the author was just trying to prove that the hijab is just a piece of material and compared it to saying the cross is just like two sticks. I disagree. I believe that the author was only trying to say that Amal shouldn't be judged negatively because of a piece of material but she wasn't minimizing the importance of ...

Hyperion Book CH, 2007
Another great one from Mo
I really love Mo. He's awesome and has a way of connecting with both of my boys (ages 4 & 6), me, and the grandparents. The illustrations are great. It's perfect for my 4 year old. I would prefer more challenging reading for my 6 year old, but he loves it.
Enjoy!

Pictures are great!
This book became one of our favotites at 4.5 months. My son loves looking at the pictures and hearing the song. We have this and row row row your boat. He chooses these two often when choosing stories, and he's only 6 months. The babies in the book are really cute!
