Laura Schlessinger
Harper Paperbacks, 2006
Best manual for women who want to understand their men
I give this book (along with a similar book by another author targeted to men) to young engaged couples (and recommend it widely to others).
A lot of the men read her book. They rave about how well she gets it. She says "men are simple creatures". The men agree (we are simple creatures, truley we are). She explains how to interact successfully with men. The men say she has it exactly ...

The golden rule....
We are always told to treat others the way we would like to be treated. This book helps explain how to treat your spouse the way you want to be treated. We often get into a rut of blaming each other, nagging, and reviewing a list of unhappy events in arguements. This books helps to explain how to move forward. I find myself discussing instead of argueing with my spouse. In the end we both get ...

Amazing Volume!
This book should be in every Episcopalian's library. The resources it provides for parishes and for personal devotions are exceptional.
The updated Church Kalendar has some great new additions, including a few noted Roman Catholic (esp. St. Ignatius of Loyola - July 31) and Eastern Orthodox (esp. St. Tikhon - April 7). Great Anglican additions are St C.S. Lewis (Nov 22), the Feast of the ...

A Traveler's Guide To Spacetime4 reviews
Thomas A Moore
McGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math, 1995
One of the most easily understandable books in physics!!
Not only did Thomas Moore write a great book, he is also an excellent teacher. It is relativity made easy. Be sure to look for the Six Ideas that Shaped Physics if you really want to learn general physics. Moore emphasizes the models of physics, not the equations generate dby these models.

Professor Winsnicker's Book of Proper Etiquette for Well-mannered Sycophants (Leven Thumps)3 reviews
Obert Skye
Shadow Mountain, 2007
A very well done (and very funny) sort-of prequel
Leven Thumps fans!
You must have this.
This little book is not only well-done, not only hilarious, and not only originally executed, but it also fills in and colors much of the backgrounds and past of more than one minor character from that series.
I highly recommend it.
The book takes the very unique form of a textbook assigned to Clover, Leven Thumps's humorous sidekick, but is full of ...

The Proper Study of Mankind: An Anthology of Essays8 reviews
Isaiah Berlin
Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2000
I shouldn't pay any attention to the review below mine.
The review written below can only be the work of someone who hates the English language. Emphasising Isaiah Berlin's verbosity is like emphasising Michael Jordan's long legs or Pete Sampras' hairy arms. Berlin writes as well as any of the great Russian novelists.
The reviewer below also claims that Berlin is a cultural relativist. This is outrageously incorrect! Isaiah was a pluralist! Berlin ...

Essential Etiquette Fundamentals, Vol. 1: Dining Etiquette15 reviews
Mike Lininger
Yellowstone Publishing, 2007
Fine Dining Made Easy
The last book on CD my wife and I bought was terrible: mens' voices for female characters, etc. And what's the alternative on the radio? Pop music or Howard Stern? I spend twenty percent of my waking life in my car. I might as well spend it wisely. The Food Scholar is easy listening and presented in a way that makes the information easy to learn and remember.

Proper Confidence: Faith, Doubt, and Certainty in Christian Discipleship7 reviews
Lesslie Newbigin
Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1995
This book is a blast of fresh air.
I believe Lesslie Newbigin is a great saint of the Church. His book, "Proper Confidence," is an invigorating defense of the synthesis of faith, reason and discipleship. He reclaims theology for the Church. What I found especially refreshing was his head-on challenge to the Enlightenment-rationalist boxes that modern scholars have constructed to contain Christianity. Newbigin confirms what I ...

Essential Etiquette Fundamentals, Vol. 2: Wine Selection & Etiquette13 reviews
Mike Lininger
Yellowstone Publishing, 2007
Excellent Resource For Novice Wine Drinkers
Although drinking good wine isn't difficult, learning about wine can be. Once on a winery tour a vintner explained that there are 15,000 different choices that can be made from grape to bottle. Sometimes picking out a wine can seem daunting. Food Scholar's Wine Selection & Etiquette does a superior job of teaching those of us who would like to learn more without the information being overkill.

Hate Is Required For Survival. Nature Didn't Give Us 'Optional' or 'Extra' Emotions.
It surprises me just how many people still don't have 'it' figured out. Edgar J. Steele does have 'it' figured out.
