How Doctors Think 152 reviews
Jerome Groopman
Mariner Books, 2008
Secrets of Medical Education
Dr. Groopman's insightful book provides valuable insights into the process by which an individual becomes a mature physician and learns to think like one. In today's world, that necessitates rapid turnover of patients and thought processes dictated by medical guidelines and payment schedules which discourage creativity and out-of-the-box thinking. This incisive work provides insights into the ...

How to Read Literature Like a Professor: A Lively and Entertaining Guide to Reading Between the Lines 53 reviews
Thomas C. Foster
Harper Paperbacks, 2003
great book for students
This is a lively, friendly, entertaining book that is great for students. It discusses how to read, to to really read literature. But as a practiced reader I found that it didn't teach me much, though it would be great for a freshman or sophmore.

How Not to Look Old: Fast and Effortless Ways to Look 10 Years Younger, 10 Pounds Lighter, 10 Times Better138 reviews
Charla Krupp
Springboard Press, 2008
I can't let any of my friends see this book
If any of my friends see this book, they want to "borrow" it and I'll never get it back--it's great, timely and appropriate for most of my baby-boomer friends. It would make a great gift for a sister or girlfriend.

How To Cook Everything: Simple Recipes for Great Food356 reviews

Wiley, 2006
98 years old little Scotch lassy couldn't be wrong!
I ordered this for my friend in the #3 box above. She wanted it for a bride & young friend on the island of Sky. She said when she had found this cook book she had tossed out all her other cook books. Her husband wrote for literary magazines, newspapers, and books of his own, not on cooking, 'though, and met and entertained many prominent people, including presidents and royalty. I don't think ...

Guess How Much I Love You284 reviews
Sam Mcbratney
Candlewick, 1995
Love this book!
This is a sweet little story about a little nut brown hare and a big nut brown hare. It is a story my child and I both enjoy. It is the whole book in it's entirety, not just a shortened version of the hardback as many boardbooks can be. My child loves when I substitute our names for the word 'hare'.

How to Behave and Why24 reviews
Munro Leaf
Universe Publishing, 2002
Still great after fifty years
How to Behave and Why is the book I would choose for 7-year-olds (as my grandaughter is) who have a tendency to cheat or lie. Perhaps it is the age but she must learn that she will lose friends and fun if she doesn't play fair. This book is gentle and understanding.

Any parents must have handbook
Hi there, I was a teenage mom at 17 years old. It was a very scary thing and very new.

It's so open they can and do tell me and us everything. This book was a total asset to my parenting tecniques ...

Lynne Rossetto Kasper, Sally Swift
Clarkson Potter, 2008
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this book!
Again and again I find myself excited to pick up this unique more-than-a-cookbook. Recipes for healthy food prepared with manageable numbers of ingredients abound, and lessons on technique teach us how to think about food and work with it. Not only are the tips, quotes, and book recommendations fascinating to learn, but variations to many recipes inspire me to think about food creatively. I ...

How to Grill: The Complete Illustrated Book of Barbecue Techniques145 reviews
Steven Raichlen
Workman Publishing Company, 2001
Made my husband a legend
I bought this book to accompany a charcoal Weber grill for my husband last father's day. He mastered babyback ribs after one grilling, wowed my co-workers with the NC pulled pork on pg. 109, upstaged my traditional Thanksgiving turkey with his smoked bird with a mediterrean rub (pg 443). He has become the neighborhood smoking/grilling legend and we we already grill several times a week regardless ...

How Full Is Your Bucket? Positive Strategies for Work and Life85 reviews
Tom Rath, Donald O. Clifton
Gallup Press, 2004
Very Positive Energy
If you fill someone else's bucket with positive energy, words and praise, it fills yours in return. It is a nice approach and it definitely works. Mr. Rath did not reinvent the wheel here. However he did write a good book that is pleasant to read and it is empowering. The only problem that I have with this book is that I found it too expensive considering how thin it is. Otherwise, it is well ...

How to Speak Politely & Why8 reviews
Munro Leaf
Universe, 2005
Educational and a Favorite...
I bought this, because I liked the educational value. My son is only two and a half, so I figured this would be relegated to a shelf for a few years. I red it the night I bought it and figured that was it. Imagine my surprise when he began to ask for it every few nights! The pictures are simple and not very colorful. There is no excitement or set plot. In other words, I figured it would be ...

How to Read the Bible for All Its Worth85 reviews
Gordon D. Fee, Douglas Stuart
Zondervan, 2003
Too good not to have a copy
The title says it all. If you want to read the Bible for all its worth, you, not only read the book, but have to have your own copy. I borrowed the book from the library and started digging into it. There were many valuable Bible verses provided to illustrate and support the important points of the author's view. In order to gain the most from the book, I would need to go through all of these ...

The Vegetarian Book I Was Looking For
I have had this book for a couple of weeks and I have already cooked from it several times. I have marked a ton of recipes that I want to try. The first recipe I tried was the "Stuck Pot Rice". I followed his instructions to the letter and it came out nearly perfect which is unusual... it WAS a little greasy but still delicious and very different. I also have Deborah Madison's Vegetarian Cooking ...

A great way to make social interaction more interesting
I got this after reading so many positive reviews on the original print. I am extremely happy with it. The latter part of the book are useful more towards the workplace and working relationships, useful nontheless. However the first half of the book is brilliant for all relationships and social occasions. It's explanation on people and how to befriend them is priceless. Once you read it, you ...

We are ultimately responsible for our own happiness and this book will help you see how much control you really have (you'll be surprised).
With traditional psychology trying to explain why we are ...

O'Neil has been trading since the early 1960's. He bought a seat on the Exchange in 1963. William J. is also the founder of Investor's Business Daily (IBD). If you are interested ...
