The GenoType Diet: Change Your Genetic Destiny to live the longest, fullest and healthiest life possible 38 reviews
Peter J. Dr D'Adamo, Catherine Whitney
Broadway, 2007
A huge help for those that are healing their body.
I am a naturopathic doctor that has practiced for 12 years and seen many patients. Healing can be such a struggle sometimes. It is almost as if we are walking in the dark sometimes. Patients get better, than worse. What happened?
I need a clearer understanding of diet, and more specifically which diet is best for which patient. This is the best answer out there. If there is a doctor that ...

The Okinawa Program : How the World's Longest-Lived People Achieve Everlasting Health--And How You Can Too64 reviews
Bradley J. Willcox, D. Craig Willcox, ...
Three Rivers Press, 2002
Best book!
This is such a good book. When I first got it I read much of it to my young children and they loved hearing about the Okinawan life and elders. My 10 year old son wanted us to move there!
I have bought more copies of this book than any other because I keep giving mine away. Now I just keep a stash to give.
This should become your textbook for living.

The Longest Winter: The Battle of the Bulge and the Epic Story of WWII's Most Decorated Platoon54 reviews
Alex Kershaw
Da Capo Press, 2005
Great story told well.
This book is a bit slow getting started, but becomes a real page-turner in no time. A great example of what made this country's finest generation so great. An absolute must-have for any WWII buff. This book is on the "top shelf" of my collection, and I have let many friends read it. Highly recommended.

The Longest Day: The Classic Epic of D-Day 72 reviews
Cornelius Ryan
Simon & Schuster, 1994
It Started Two Genres
Cornelius Ryan invented two genres with his ground-breaking history-The Longest Day.
On the one hand, he started a trend to personalized history. His book relies heavily on the recollections of those who fought on both sides. In this he anticipates Ken Burns' The War - A Film By Ken Burns and Lynn Novick and also The Second World War the more scholarly John Keegan.
His other innovation, a brisk ...

Trans-Siberian Handbook: Seventh Edition of the Guide to the World's Longest Railway Journey (Trailblazer ...14 reviews
Bryn Thomas
Trailblazer Publications, 2007
Preferable to the Lonely Planet guide. Indeed, one of the best travel guides I've ever encountered
For passengers on traveling on all or most of the Trans-Siberian Railway and visiting the cities along it, there are only two English-language travel guides. The Lonely Planet guide appeared in 2003 with a second edition in 2006, while Bryn Thomas updates his guide almost yearly and in 2007 it reached its seventh edition. I'm a two-time veteran of the Trans-Siberian, using the 1st edition of the ...

The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest 21 reviews
Dan Buettner
National Geographic, 2008
the Blue Zones
I am Vegetarian (age 75), as is one of my daughters (age 48), and the other (age 45) is Vegan. We firmly believe our life style supports our good health and sense of well-being. We are all three busy professionals and active ameteur athletes. "The Blue Zones" is not only supportive of a primarily-plant diet and consistent exercise, but it is a good read, accurate without being too technical. I ...

Healthy at 100: The Scientifically Proven Secrets of the World's Healthiest and Longest-Lived Peoples7 reviews
John Robbins
Ballantine Books, 2007
Makes sense to me
John makes this topic interesting, readable and informative. I almost never eat meat of any source, unless prepared by a friend. But not for religious reasons. This book makes a strong case for a more plant-based diet, exercise, and most importantly, including others in our life. Thank you John Robbins.

The Longest Ride: My Ten-Year 500,000 Mile Motorcycle Journey14 reviews
Emilio Scotto
Motorbooks, 2007
Fascinating and Entertaining!
I enjoyed this book immensely. You don't have to be a fan of motorcycles to appreciate the scale of this challenge or the rich and at times scary diversity of this world. This endeavor on a nonexistent budget and with undeniable perseverance represents a unique and enlightening view of this world.

America's Longest War: The United States and Vietnam, 1950-1975 with Poster (4th Edition)11 reviews
George C Herring
McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages, 2001
A Great Account of American Grand Strategy in Vietnam
Like many people here, I read this book for a college class concerned with providing an explanation of the numerous questions that arise whenever one ponders America in Vietnam, like why it was there, and why it lost. Any student or curious reader should find this work a great tool for this task.
The book is fairly short, numbering less than 400 pages. By that restraint alone, no reader should ...

The Longest Season1 review
Cal Ripken
Philomel, 2007
Terrific Cal Ripken book
If you're an Orioles fan, the 1988 season was a horrible time. The O's lost 21 in a row to start the year. Cal Ripken retells this season in a children's book that teaches perseverance.
I bought this book for my 6-month-old son, knowing he won't be able to understand it for several years. The pictures are outstanding. (If you're an O's fan like myself, you'll get a kick out of seeing familiar ...

50 Secrets of the Longest Living People with Diabetes (Marlowe Diabetes Library)2 reviews
Sheri R. Colberg, Steven V. Edelman
Da Capo Press, 2007
Read this if you or a family member has type 1 diabetes
As the mother of two young daughters with type 1 diabetes, I've read a lot of websites and books with highly technical medical information about diabetes.
It was refreshing to sit down and read a book full of stories. When's the last time you read a book about diabetes that was actually hard to put down? This is a book like that.
One can't help but be encouraged by stories like those of the ...

When the Game Stands Tall: The Story of the De La Salle Spartans and Football's Longest Winning Streak27 reviews
Neil Hayes
Frog Books, 2005
Excellent insight to motivation
I thought this book was excellent. Not only is the story of such a remarkable winning streak noteworthy in itself, the story of Coach Bob Ladoceur will change many people's view of the nature of a winning coach. It appears that he and his staff really do care more about their players than about the game and, certainly, The Streak. I learned some key things about what makes high school boys ...

Managing Health Programs and Projects (J-B Public Health/Health Services Text) 1 review
Beaufort B., Jr. Longest
Jossey-Bass, 2004
Kinda generic
I thought that the book would be more specific in mentioning HEALTH related subjects but it's like a project management book with the word "health" thrown in a couple times. At least it's light weight so I can walk around with it more than a regular project management text.

A Solid Piece of Work...
I found this book to be well-written and informative. I liked how the author started the book with a broad-based look at the world's cultures that have the longest living people in them, and then in the second section, broke this information down into the 50 "secrets" that was common to all of them.
I have read several books on improving your lifespan and your health during this time, but this ...

Richard Scarry's Longest Book Ever!9 reviews

Fantastic book!
If you're looking for a great train book or even just a lift the flap book, then be SURE to get this one! It's absolutely adorable! Poor Bananas gorilla has lost his bananas somewhere on the train and he has everyone looking for him. I just love all the little details in the drawing of this book - there's a worm driving a tractor on top of one of the train cars, frogs jumping into a big kettle ...
