The Care & Keeping of You: The Body Book for Girls (American Girl Library) 346 reviews
Valorie Schaefer
American Girl Publishing Inc, 1998
Written well for young girls
My daughter was slightly embarrassed when health class started in school this year. This book was suggested to me by a friend. I think this book is informative and well written and doesn't cause too much embarrassment when discussing. She showed her health teacher who absolutly loved it and sent a letter to parents suggesting they buy it for their daughters.

The Synonym Finder107 reviews
J. I. Rodale
Rodale Books, 1958
Excellent
I bought this along with the Oxford English Writer's Thesaurus and found The Synonym Finder far superior with every word. They kept this one simple and effective with by far the most options of any thesaurus.

Excellent guide to healthy eating
I've been very happy with the information and guidance in this book. I've been following the advice for about a month now as part of a diet and exercise program, and I'm down about 25 lbs and feel great. The recipes at the back of the book are an especially nice touch.

Dorothy Richmond
McGraw-Hill, 1998
5 Star Review by James
This is James from James Spanish (the learning Spanish blog). This book is one in the highly praised Practice Makes Perfect series. Written by Dorothy Richmond, the author of many other great Spanish language books, the writing is light hearted and engaging despite the dry subject matter.
Finding ways to make studying pronouns and prepositions more fun is a challenge, but one that the author ...

Discovering Statistics Using SPSS (Introducing Statistical Methods)81 reviews
Andy Field
Sage Publications Ltd, 2009
Outstanding Book
I've now endured one of the most miserable courses I've ever taken - a course on statistics. That course was consistent with what one might expect to exemplify typical stats courses everywhere - dry, boring, and no regard whatsoever for those who really want to know about the subject but have limited backgrounds. The primary text we used for that course was literally one of the worst I've ever ...

Boatowner's Mechanical and Electrical Manual: How to Maintain, Repair, and Improve Your Boat's Essential ...63 reviews
Nigel Calder
International Marine/Ragged Mountain Press, 2005
If You Could Only Have One Boating Book, this is the One
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and could only take one CD with you, which one would you take and why? Years ago I used to listen to a program on the BBC that asked famous guests that question, only they said record, not CDs. Well I suppose I'd take Bob Dylan's "Blood on the Tracks" if I were in that fix. And if I were to go to sea on a cruising sailboat and could only take ...

Loving the Spotlight! Thanks to Janet
I have a journalist background, and though I am quite comfortable writing words, standing up and speaking them in a crowd was a completely different story until I discovered Janet's book a few months ago. I was preparing for a professional speaking engagement and was terrified! As I read Janet's book, I began to calm down and see that I could pull this off by applying her techniques. I love how ...

Confessions of a Real Estate Entrepreneur: What It Takes to Win in High-Stakes Commercial Real Estate69 reviews
James A. Randel
McGraw-Hill, 2005
Create returns worthy of an entrepreneur.
Here is a commercial real estate investment book that doesn't require a degree in finance to keep up with. At the same time it is not too simplistic for experienced investors. I found this a little surprising, considering Randel is a real estate attorney. It doesn't take long to understand what he means by real estate entrepreneur vs. investor. The entrepreneur gets creative and is willing ...
