Comment on Book from Prison Inmate
I am currently an inmate at the Idaho Prison in Orofino, Idaho. My name is Richard Eugene Brewer. I was recently sent the book "ADHD and the Criminal Justice System". I was a Ritalin kid growing up, which was before many people really knew much about ADHD. I related so much to the information and descriptions contained in this book. It seemed like the book was almost written about me ...

Fabulous Book
I had trouble finding a good book about obsessive compulsive personality type (most were about obssessive compulsive disorder) until I found this one. It was so fascinating that I flew through it in one night! I had many "ah-ha" moments while reading the book, and recognized certain traits in my spouse, my mother, and myself. I found the book to be well written, easy to read and understand, ...

A Holistic View of Food, Nutrition, and Energy
This book gave me answers to nutrition questions that had plagued me for years. WHY did I crave sweets at night? WHY did I crash at 3:00 pm every day and head for the vending machine? WHY wasn't I losing weight even though I was cutting calories and trying so many different diets? Joshua's book is very different than other "nutrition" books in that he assumes the readers are intelligent and ...
Starting Out with C++: From Control Structures through Objects (6th Edition) (Starting Out With...)

Great for Students--Not for Self-Study
This book is used as the textbook for the class in C++ I am taking. It makes no assumptions about previous knowledge in programming and is very thorough in testing your understanding as each concept is presented. It has obviously been tested in the classroom as it anticipates many of the questions a beginner would have about programming and the C++ language. The book includes a C++ compiler by ...

Thank You!
What a wonderful book! It's an easy to understand and follow approach that made my wife and I not only focus on our child's behaviors in a more constructive way, but also on our own. We only just got this book a short time ago, and the early implementation of it's teachings has already significantly reduced our son's "outbursts" and those that remain are short lived and becoming less and less ...
Drug Crazy : How We Got into This Mess and How We Can Get Out

Routledge, 2000
Dealing with Our Addiction
When it became clear that the medicines called opiates were highly addictive and caused health problems, they were dealt with as nicotine and alcohol are dealt with today. There were honest and realistic public service messages warning of the dangers of opiates, and there was medical help that greatly limited the damage they did to the individual and which had a chance of eliminating his or her ...

A wonderful look at how an economy collapsed
This book seeks to understand how and why Argentina sank into financial chaos in the early 2000's. The book looks at the role of the IMF, US treasury, private markets, and the Argentinean government in the overall downfall of the country. The author writes very well about his subject and has a good understanding of international economics. The IMF is not completely vilified as it is in many of ...

the worry free life
I believe this is cutting edge material. When people have been frozen in outdated paradigms left over from their early years, the material in this book and workbook will help them redecide in their own behalf how to take control of their unhealthy thoughts that do not work for them anymore and replace them with thoughts that bring lives into fruition. The tools and strategies used can take a ...

Ernie Is Full Of Laughs
To my knowledge, this is the first collection from Bud Grace's excellent comic strip 'Ernie' (now known as 'The Piranha Club'). Not done in the typical comic strip book style of publishing all comic strips from a certain time period, this book is divided into chaptered segments containing some of Bud's favorite earlier work. A must have for any Ernie fan!

I want to go back in time...
First let me note that this review is for the book "Virginia," NOT "Virginia Brides." When looking into purchasing the latter I decided to read the reviews. To my shock I saw that my review for "Virginia" was posted there. The synopsis' written are for the novellas in Virgina. Now... I loved, loved, LOVED this book. All the stories were well thought out. They were a perfect combination of ...

Another Great Hardy Boys (Nancy Drew too...) Mystery!
I was a Hardy Boys fan, coming into the Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew supermystery series, and seeing it was written by the Nancy Drew mystery series author, I was afraid the Hardys would get left out. Not the case! The author get's a perfect balance, and takes two, seemingly unrelated mysteries and binds them together to form a...SUPERMYSTERY! It's very well written, with all the excitement of Hardy ...

Upon reading a couple chapters I began to understand more programming than I have with previous books. I would recommend this book for anybody who is beginning out with programming in the java computer language, or anybody ...

A Parent Who's Been Whipped
Kim and Marney have written a book that has been too long in coming for parents with out-of-control children. When my child was a teen (back in the early 90s) there was no help for me, no where to turn, no book to read. I felt like a failure as a parent, thinking it must be my fault that my child was out of control. Kim and Marney's book made me realize that I WAS (and am)a good mother. Anyone ...

I just started reading this book and when I got it I already knew the answer to the question on the front cover...Yes my "frog was boiling." BUT, just after days of reading Dr. Madow's advice, I can already feel a difference in the temperature of my "frog". I think this book can be beneficial to all frogs at all temperatures and I plan to share this wonderful advice I've found with my friends and ...
