Throughly enjoyable! I didn't want it to end!
I really enjoyed this book from the first page through the last. It took me on an incredible journey of life in Kenya, Africa with all it's mishaps, adventures, safaris, and real life day to day living as a local living in Kenya. I really hated to see it end! This book is a must have for anyone planning a trip to Africa or for anyone that loves exotic destination travel.

David Hariton
Cypress House, 2004
It just makes too much sense... And it feels good too!
I am one week into this program, and LOVE IT. By reducing the amount I have to be at the gym, and increasing the EFFORT during that time (it is not easy), I actually accomplish goal #1, which is to leave the gym feeling BETTER than when I got there.
The author is very practical, like suggesting you work out in the morning. All of the reasons he suggests are REAL WORLD, and I have hit them ...

Unexpected Returns: Understanding Secular Stock Market Cycles34 reviews
Ed Easterling
Cypress House, 2005
Investing in Stocks Starts Here
Ed Easterling gets right to the matter at hand - what actually happens to individual investors and not what is supposed to happen given the vortex of hyporbole one finds in the financial media.
Ed un-links actual corporate performance from stock price and shows that stock price has a life of its own. Citing nominal and inflation corrected GDP, for periods from the 60s up to the late 90s, Ed ...

Refreshing and Thought Provoking
I received "Dancing ... Slippers" as a gift and found it's refreshing and raw views on the slices of life to be both fun and thought provoking.

Her photo on the back inside flap is absolutely charming!

The Dog Walked Down the Street: An Outspoken Guide for Writers Who Want to Publish5 reviews
Sal Glynn
Cypress House, 2006
A must-have for aspiring writers
Here's a little gem of a book that anyone trying to be a writer must have. The title comes from a quote by the poet Charles Bukowski that "most writers can't write a simple sentence, like, `The dog walked down the street.'" Unfortunately, that holds true for most of the "how-to" books on writing out there, but this sleek little volume is different because Glynn does it with humor, a wry, ...

Maggie Watson

Graceful Farewell is an excellent resource

'Graceful Farewell' is an excellent resource to help us make these decisions together with our loved ones so that no one needs to guess how their loved one wants things done and they can 'gracefully say ...

J. R. Parrish
Cypress House, 2003
My life has already improved because of tips in this book
Ever since Mr. Parrish and his staff "adopted" a 5th grade class at Hester elementary school, my daughter Pearl, one of those 5th graders, has had a white board with a list of goals in her room. As I'd walk in and out of her room, year after year, the list would morph--checkmarks would appear, items would disappear, and interesting new items would appear. This pattern was steadfast as the tide. I ...

The Haole Substitute 5 reviews
Walt Novak
Cypress House, 1994
Fasinating story of a young teacher's first year.
This was an entertaining look at the first year of a young teacher in a new culture. It uses humor to make the hardships he faced bearable. Novak has a wonderful ability to use simple language to convey complex situations. He shows that even though we have different cultures and values, basically we share a lot of similarities. I'm looking forward to a great movie!

Exquisite Interceptors
This book is filled to the rim with fun and challenging planes!
The person before me that wrote a rewiew does not know how to fold these wonderful planes. I can succesfully fold all of them, and to mention they fly like a charm! So if you are having difficulty folding these planes, Try using a different sheet of paper or adjusting. You`ll get it sooner or later!

Karin C. Uphoff
Cypress House, 2007
Wonderful book - highly recommended!
Crisp, intelligent, down to earth, practical - I find this to be a perfect balance between a lay person's book and something more academic. As a result, it's highly informative and yet easy to, er, digest, with lots of tips and tricks, thorough explanations of why things work the way they do, and fun recipes and other things to try. A rare integrated approach to health and healing. I would ...
