A must read for everyone!
I wish I had found this book four years ago, when my Deaf grandchildren were born. VERY informative, and extremely well written. A very important work!

Only a Theory: Evolution and the Battle for America's Soul

Kenneth R. Miller

Viking Adult, 2008

Excellent overview of The Controversy
I first heard about Kenneth Miller while reading about the Kitzmiller V. Dover case. Miller is a principal author of the Biology textbook used in many high schools today. The book is so popular among science teachers that he's sometimes asked to autograph their copies, and after reading Only A Theory, I can understand why - the man is a gifted author. In this book, Miller makes the important ...

For Young Women Only: What You Need to Know About How Guys Think

Shaunti Feldhahn, Lisa A. Rice

Multnomah Books, 2006

Teenage girls take it better from Shanti than their Moms!
All these questions are things that teenage girls NEED to know about the way guys think, I can tell my daughter all day and she is still a little skeptical (the male brain is foreign to teenage girls!) But seeing the survey results brought it home. Written well, very interesting to read at any age.

Shaunti Feldhahn

Multnomah Books, 2004

fantastic guide, should be read with companion volume
THIS REVIEW PERTAINS TO THE 2-VOLUME SET! I like this set so much I am buying a copy for each of my brothers, so they can (hopefully) skip some of the mistakes I made in my first marriage. The best gift I can give each family member is a happy primary relationship, and I think this is the best means by which I can give it to them. For either gender, this set seems to be the closest thing ...

Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit

Jeanette Winterson

Grove Press, 1997

Juicy Fruit
This is my favorite book by this author. The innocence and coming-of-age aspect makes the main character fully sympathetic and compelling. The conflict with her religious upbringing is well-crafted. And Winterson's prose, as always, is delicious. Makes me proud to be a lesbian.Verge

Eric Blehm

Harper, 2010

Strap yourself in!!! True leadership by a young warrior and his team!
As a reader addicted to military history and accounts of warriors who have actually fought the battles, I am blown away by this book. The author has done exhaustive research and portrays the events that took place with this SF team with very detailed descriptions of technology, tactics, mission planning all as if these men were friends of yours. Eric Blehm takes you inside their lives, their ...

Only Yesterday: An Informal History of the 1920s

Frederick Lewis Allen

Harper Perennial Modern Classics, 2000

Timelessly Well-Written Account of a Fascinating Period in History
I'm not even halfway through this book yet and I already feel compelled to give it a rave review. Generally, when I read non-fiction, even on topics I'm extremely interested in (like the 1920s), I will skim the dry passages and chapters. I have not been tempted to skim a single line in this book, and that's not because I'm deeply interested in every nuance of the era's politics and financial ...

Ellen Karsh, Arlen Sue Fox

Basic Books, 2009

My favorite grant writing book
As a new grant writer, I am really enjoying this book and it's my favorite thus far. I really loved the fact that it is current and talks about the economy downturn and how it affects potential funding. Another reason I like this is book is that it gave actual testimonies of funders and their likes/dislikes. Great book for grant writers!!!

Both Ways Is the Only Way I Want It

Maile Meloy

Riverhead Hardcover, 2009

Mind games abound - delightfully!
Great collection of short stories. The author gets into the psyche of the characters and displays things that no one wants to talk about. It's these 'mind games' that make the stories so interesting.

You Only Live Twice (James Bond Novels)

224 reviews
Ian Fleming

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2003

Well Writte and Exciting
This review is about the novel, not the movie. "You Only Live Twice" is the concluding novel of the "Blofeld Trilogy" ("Thunderball", "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" with "The Spy Who Loved Me" in the middle but not part of the trilogy). The story finds James Bond in a sad place after the murder of his wife and a fading career. M, head of MI6, wants to dismiss Bond but changes his ...

The Only Astrology Book You'll Ever Need

Taylor Trade Publishing, 2008

The Only Astrology Book You'll Ever Need, CD-rom Edition
This book is really great. I'm a beginner and it has everything explained from the first step to the more detailed instructions. If you choose not to do the more detailed steps you can still get enough information to do a basic chart. It was a real eye-opener for me and I realized why my personality didn't fit the 'cookie-cutter' birth signs.

The Only EKG Book You'll Ever Need (Thaler, Only EKG Book You'll Ever Need)

35 reviews
Malcolm S Thaler

Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2009

Great Start
I got this book my intern year and found it a great way to be able to interpret the overwhelming majority of ECGs I saw in the ED. I do think the title overstates things, as advanced ECG diagnoses such as Wellen's Syndrome, Bifascicular blocks etc require further reading, but this is an excellent start. Its very easy to read and will take you about 7 to 10 days to finish and remember. I ...

You have got to read this book if you are in doubt about your marriage!
After I found out that my wife had been cheating on me with an old boyfriend I was totally devestated! How could she have done this to me and our children! We decided to attempt counseling and it was there that I began to realize what I had done - not that she didn't do something wrong but that I was at fault too! I bought this book to try and help me understand my wrongs - I could not believe ...

Ralph Nader

Seven Stories Press, 2009

Lovin' it, and passin' it on...
Having crashed in a '64 Corvair ragtop, Ralph Nader has had my attention for a long, long time. I jumped at the opportunity to help bring him to Univ. of Hawaii @ Hilo in (?)'74 for Student Activities. I've read his books, joined a PIRG, admired his courage and tenacity, voted for him for President, tho not sure why he ran. This book was pure joy...engaging, thoughtful and surprising. I ...

William Manchester

Little, Brown and Company, 1993

The Medieval Mind of Europe
This is an excellent cultural summary of the long period called "The Dark Ages" in Europe, 400-1600 CE. Manchester provides many fascinating details as he spins the tale of events, people, nations, religious movements and cultural challenges. He is able to pack in the details while still moving the story along, making excellent connections between the various facets of the complex story. He ...

Jesus, the One and Only

Beth Moore

B&H Books, 2002

Top of my "Books Read" list!
One of the most informative and moving books I have ever read about Jesus. I have two copies because one is worn and tattered. Lots of facts and references about the original meaning of Biblical words and explanations of culture during the time Christ walked the earth. Details Christ's life from Mary's conception to His death on the cross. Truly a moving personal experience reading this book. If ...
