YOU: The Owner's Manual, Updated and Expanded Edition: An Insider's Guide to the Body that Will Make You ...1 review
Mehmet Oz, Michael F. Roizen

Collins, 2008

GREAT RESOURCE
I pre-ordered two of these books, giving one to my parents. They instanting "took" to it. It's written in a very simple way, with nice diagrams and such. I'm an English Literature graduate, but I like it when people can communicate in simple terms. Too many people use "big" words to make themselves sound intellectual. If you want folks to actually understand what you're saying, you need to speak ...

How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk163 reviews
Adele Faber, Elaine Mazlish

Collins, 1999

Still the best
A coworker of mine highly recommended this book to me in the early 1990s when my children were very small, telling me it was the best book she had ever read about kids. I forgot about this and never followed up on her advice until my children started the backtalk phase and the disagreeableness of the preteen years. After lots of unhappy interactions with them, I remembered her advice when ... 		  
  







  
  
Mayo Clinic Guide to a Healthy Pregnancy109 reviews

like having a Dr at home
This is such a great book to keep you calm when worried, informed when ignorant, and practical when overwhelmed. It is divided into four sections a month by month look at pregnancy, a decision guide to all the main thing you need to worry about health wise, a general reference guide for any doubts that might arise from dyeing your hair to headaches and the last is about complications. It's nice ... 		  
  







  
  
Winning by Losing: Drop the Weight, Change Your Life99 reviews
Jillian Michaels

Collins, 2007

Phenomenal! Finally seeing results!
For those reviewers that insist that this book isn't helpful for anyone that knows about nutrition and exercise, I beg to differ! I had done Body-for-Life four years ago and had great results. Well, I let myself go, and in January, after four years of yo-yo dieting and exercise, I decided to get back in gear. I went for what worked in the past and started BFL again. Well, I lost about 10 ...

You will be happy to have this information for so many reasons and so happy that you starting thinking about your body (not just your fertility). I ... 		  
  







  
  
The Dangerous Book for Boys615 reviews
Conn Iggulden, Hal Iggulden

Collins, 2007

Great for Boys and everyone else, too!
Bought this for my son. He keeps it by his bed and opens it randomly to find something interesting. He often brings it downstairs with him to ask us questions about things he's read, and if we can try this or that. We love it! We've made several of the projects, and he has learned so much about history and literature from it. He really enjoys it!

Andrea J. Buchanan, Miriam Peskowitz

Collins, 2007

Great book for all girls
This book is wonderful. I got a copy for myself and now feel obligated to get one for any family member that has a young daughter. I picked up this copy for my sister-in-law and had a great time reading some of the stuff to my niece. My sister-in-law was thrilled to receive! 		  
  







  
  
Gorgeously Green: 8 Simple Steps to an Earth-Friendly Life16 reviews
Sophie Uliano

Collins, 2008

A Must Have Book!
I have been looking for a book like this for a while now. More and more we are becoming aware of the impact we make on the environment and I for one strive to do my part. However, it's overwhelming to research and personally test out everything out there, which is one of the reasons why this book is so great. From beauty products to cleaning products, to lifestyle, this book has it all. It ...

Robert B. Cialdini

Collins, 2007

The best of its kind
When it comes to the theory of persuasion, this is not only the best, but also the most important book out there. The book itself has influenced tons of other literature.

Wear Your Life Well: Use What You Have to Get What You Want12 reviews
Marilu Henner

Collins, 2008

A Friend Speaks to You
I very much enjoyed this book. Marilu speaks to you as a friend. She asks the questions that a friend would who really wants you to succeed in getting your act together. There are current references to her work on Trump's show. She speaks of what each person asked for in terms of food and other comfort items. Reading it you know why she and Carol Alt are so thin and have such great skin. This ...

Bill Phillips, Michael D'Orso

Collins, 1999

Probably the best physical fitness book for beginners
I originally checked this book out of the library along with a few others in order to help me come up with some kind of a plan to get into shape. Once I started reading it though I could not put it down. I read the entire book in one night. It gave me everything I was looking for including plans for weight training, cardiovascular training, dieting, recipes, and more. It even came with a number ... 		  
  







  
  
Built to Last: Successful Habits of Visionary Companies146 reviews
Jim Collins, Jerry I. Porras

Collins, 2004

A Classic
"Built to Last" is an enlightening and interesting classic on business strategic management. The authors, Jim Collins and Jerry Porras spent six years in research and compared the practices of 18 visionary companies in the USA to those of a matched set of good, though not great, companies. Their fundamental observation is that average companies are driven by the power of "or:" You can have either ...

Roni Deluz, James Hester

Collins, 2007

Feel your best!
I did this cleanse because a friend of mine recommended it and it is one of the best things I've ever done for my body. I did it for 15 days, and yes, I lost 15lbs, but more importantly than the weight I lost my body felt the best it has possibly ever felt. I've read some of the other reviews, people said it was disgusting or they were hungry all the time, and I should say that I did not ...

SAS Survival Handbook: How to Survive in the Wild, in Any Climate, on Land or at Sea92 reviews
John Lofty Wiseman

Collins, 2004

The Best of the best.
Simply put, this is the best survival guide on the market today. Bar none. I am a veteran of the U.S. Coast Guard, and U.S. Army. Even the US Army Survival Manual is not as comprehensive as this guide. 		  
  







  
  
Siblings Without Rivalry: How to Help Your Children Live Together So You Can Live Too66 reviews
Adele Faber, Elaine Mazlish

Collins, 1998

A lifesaver!
This book sure helped me survive being a parent! It helped so much that the book was written in a way that I could pick it up, read quickly for the few uninterrupted minutes I could actually get, and then put it down. The cartoons were great- there were some that I copied and hung up around the house as reminders to myself, for the habits that I wanted to form. This book especially helped me ...
