Dr. Bruce Fife Is Putting Coconut On The Superfoods Map
When you stop and think about how much coconut and especially coconut oil has been vilified by all those pompous health gurus out there thumping their chests with an arrogance that merely shows their ignorance, it just makes you shake your head.

Robert Pozen
Wiley, 2009
Back to School
Robert Pozen's "Too Big to Save?" has already received a number of enthusiastic notices on Amazon's pages by readers who know a lot more about economics than I do. And due disclosure mandates that I state that I am related to the author--but both of these disclaimers are in fact recommendations.

Strategies for Understanding and Communicating in Marriage
I probably wouldn't have read this book if it weren't for the premarital counseling that I'm currently undergoing as the date of my wedding approaches. Not that I have any real objections to marriage and relationship books; I just haven't made it a priority to read them. A bit disappointed with "Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus," my first and only--that is, until now, I was left with the ...

Eastland Press, 2006
Technical but easy to follow.
I was glad that this book was technical enough to help the serious yoga teacher. The drawing made it easy for me to learn. The spiral binding made it easy to use while watching students or myself. The author is clearly incredibly knowledgeable. The pictures and the format made the book fun to look at for a visual learner.
