Nina Hartley

Avery Trade, 2006

Excellent Sex Guide Written With Intelligence And Insight
I first became a fan of Nina Hartley as a horny teen-ager coming of age in the 1980's and now, at age 39, I love her more than ever. This is because Nina is not just your typical porn actress but a sex positive feminist, swinger and educator committed to bringing to the public her message of sexual liberation, anti-censorship and personal freedom. This book is divided into 18 chapters, each ...

Excellent Book!
An excellent source for the person with MS. I haven't been able to find a diet yet that was condensed into a few pages like this one. It's such a jewel for me to have obtained. Just remember: Anything WORTH doing is never easy but so rewarding!

Coping with Mild Traumatic Brain Injury

Diane Roberts Stoler

Avery Trade, 1997

Well organized, comprehensive, informative, and motivating
Like many, I knew nothing about MTBI or its effects until I suffered a concussion a month ago. My doctor was helpful and properly diagnosed the condition but frankly his style was terse, to the point, and directed only at the largest symptoms I've experienced. A half hour consultation is not sufficient to explore each of the dozen symptoms I experienced. This book was a godsend for me. The ...

Play: How it Shapes the Brain, Opens the Imagination, and Invigorates the Soul

M.D., Stuart Brown, Christopher Vaughan

Avery Trade, 2010

One of my Top Ten reads this year
Stuart Brown's "Play" is one of those books that I knew immediately I had to share with those I hold near and dear, most specifically the parents of my grandchildren. It is likewise a book I wish with all my heart had been available 50 years ago, when I was just beginning to raise my own children. This book is a powerful affirmation of all the things we OUGHT to know from the wisdom of the ...

Avery Trade, 2003

One of the best resources on the topic
I have been reading for quite a long time information about how nutrition and other aspects of lifestyle (exercise, stress, sleep...) affect the health of a normal person but after my wife got pregnant with our first kid I started looking for a book that would give some light to the requirements of a postpartum mother. And let me openly tell you that this book is no less than excellent resource ...

Big Green Purse: Use Your Spending Power to Create a Cleaner, Greener World

Diane MacEachern

Avery Trade, 2008

Best green book I've read - and I've read a LOT!
As the book Big Green Purse by Diane MacEachern is primarily aimed at women, I asked my wife to read it first. She gave me a sigh, rolled her eyes and said she would skim it, but it ended up being so interesting she read it cover to cover. Here's a direct quote (honest!): "This is one of the most informative and life changing books I've ever read. It beats those 'self-help' books hands down ...

The complex made more comprehensible
As a psychologist in private practice for many years, I have seen a wide range of patients,with many diagnoses. In addition to the psychodynamic and object relations perspectives from which I work, I have found the work of Ivan Nagy so deeply helpful in understanding a variety of personal and relational issues. I've had to learn how to "translate" many of his complicated ideas so that my clients ...

Anil Minocha

Avery Trade, 2003

Excellent research, crystal-clear writing
I'm a full-time health writer, and after 15 years in the business I've rarely come across a book that so perfectly combines medical findings with practical, easy-to-follow advice. Dr. Minocha is clearly an advocate of alternative styles of medicine, yet he approaches his topic with the eye of a scientist. When I want to know what something does, how it works, how to use it myself--the answers are ...

Avery Trade, 2001

One of the best in my collection
Another book you don't loan out, you'll miss having it for reference. It lists recipes for ailments, and companies where you can purchase the items needed in the mixes. I had to buy more than one, one for loans, one for keeps. The best advice is also given in this book, just because one mix worked for another, it may not be the same for you. We are all different, and so are the many ...

I trust this book
I bought this book based on the stellar reviews on Amazon. I'm very happy with it and refer to it constantly. I particularly like that the doses recommended are above and beyond the RDA, which is the MINIMUM needed for optimal health (the book cover says: RDAs "are designed only to prevent the most obvious deficiency diseases -- they are the 'minimum wages' of nutrition. RDIs are not adequate for ...

The Talk: What Your Kids Need to Hear from You About Sex

9 reviews
Ph.D., Sharon Maxwell

Avery Trade, 2008

Fantastic Guide on Raising Teens
This book raises our awareness about how incredibly sexualized our world has become. In this day and age, 'sex sells' is the premise of many marketing campaigns. It translates into an oversaturated, oversexed world with little value or transmission of understanding for our kids. The book is not at all prudish, nor is it old-fashioned. Although I stumbled over her handling of certain sexual ...

Best Parenting Book
Have you ever wondered how best to influence your child's thoughts? Are you a good example of an avid reader? Or, have you ever said, "I want my child to be a good reader. But I don't like to read?" It all starts with your attitude about reading and how you identify yourself as a reader. No one can exist without reading something. You might like the sports page. Or, maybe you like ...

Retirement Rx
Excellent book. One of the few that focus on the non-financial aspects of retirement. Because the authors base their recommendations on the extensive research they have done, it adds to the credibility of their recommendations. This book is a must read for anyone beginning to plan for retirement, who just retired or have already entered retirement. They include a great tool (retirement quiz) ...

Excellent Starter Book
This book is great for anyone who is interested in Pilates. If you do other sports, like biking, running or golf, it gives you appropriate excercises to compliment your activities. It provides outstanding descriptions and pictures of the exercises. Highly recommend this book...even if you just want a Pilates book with pictures.....

Nutrition that Heals
This is certainly the best book on nutritional healing that we have found in Spanish. I own all four editions of this book on nutritional healing and we have successfully used all of them over the years. Now our friends who only read and speak Spanish can benefit from the sound advice found in them with this translation of the second edition. We anxiously await the translation of the latest ...

Life with Pop: Lessons on Caring for an Aging Parent

Janis Abrahms Spring Ph.D., Michael Spring

Avery Trade, 2010

Lessons and Gifts from Dr. Spring
Often when you read a book, the suspense of seeing how it will end keeps you going. When I began Life with Pop, a memoir of the five years during which the author served as the primary caregiver for her beloved and increasingly debilitated father, I knew how it would end. The deeply emotional suspense comes in discovering how the universal experience of aging is revealed through Janis Spring's ...
