Ani's Raw Food Kitchen: Easy, Delectable Living Foods Recipes73 reviews
Ani Phyo

Da Capo Press, 2007

Easy and Fun!
When I first considered going raw I was very, very nervous. I wasn't sure exactly what it would require or if I could do it; overall I was overwhelmed. I spent approximately 2 hours in a bookstore looking through the small selection of raw/living foods cookbooks and was saved by ani's. The book is simple to follow and makes un-cooking food fun. Everyday I look forward to trying a new ... 		  
  







  
  
Indestructible: The Unforgettable Story of a Marine Hero at the Battle of Iwo Jima11 reviews
Jack Lucas, D. K. Drum

Da Capo Press, 2006

Tough Story about a Tough Guy
Despite what some other reviewers had to say, it should be noted at the outset that Jack Lucas didn't finish high school, and obviously didn't go to Columbia for a writing degree. He simply lied his way into enlisting in the Marine Corps at the age of 14, and ultimately conned his way into frontline units until he finally reached combat at Iwo Jima. Having wanted to be a Marine and fighting ...

Isa Chandra Moskowitz, Terry Hope Romero, ...

Da Capo Press, 2007

RABID CARNIVORES ADORE IT!
I made an extremely vegan recipe from this book for a friend who's a rabid carnivore, and i didn't get a luke-warm "umm, that's tasty", I got an "OH my GODDD, that's FANTASTIC!" So, newbee vegans, fear not. You can not only please yourself with this innovative, fun and complete book, you can dazzle your carnivorous friends, too.

Your Pregnancy Week by Week, 6th Edition (Your Pregnancy Series)346 reviews
Glade B. Curtis, Judith Schuler

Da Capo Press, 2007

Highly Informative
There are many critics of this book who claim that it is worries expectant mothers unnecessarily. However, I feel that it is necessary to understand the risks of pregnancy, as well as how to take care of the needs of an expectant mother. It is foolish to ignore the statistics, no matter how scary they can be because bad things do happen, and it is wise to be prepared. I would definitely ... 		  
  







  
  
The Portable Atheist: Essential Readings for the Nonbeliever34 reviews
Christopher Hitchens

Da Capo Press, 2007

A fascinating collection of essays
This is a fantastic collection. For anyone just discovering their atheism I highly recommend this book - it brings together writings by atheists or agnostics over the last 2000 or so years, making some incredibly compelling arguments. I'm only halfway through at the moment, but I especially love Mark Twain's discussion of the fly.

Escape from the Deep: A Legendary Submarine and Her Courageous Crew7 reviews
Alex Kershaw

Da Capo Press, 2008

Kershaw strikes again! True heroic human story.
There is an old adage that states: 'if it ain't broken, don't fix it'. Sage advice for author/historian Alex Kershaw who has again turned out another 'page-turner' with his recent DaCapo Press release, "Escape From the Deep: The Epic Story of a Legendary Submarine and Her Courageous Crew". While a great many artists struggle to find their muse Kershaw has certainly found his. One could even ... 		  
  







  
  
Transitions: Making Sense of Life's Changes, Revised 25th Anniversary Edition36 reviews
William Bridges

Da Capo Press, 2004

Bridging a unfathomable Gap in our life from work to retirement
It is now almost fifteen years since I entered into the challenging world of retirement. In no time at all, I found myself emulating the comment of another retiree to the effect that he was busier in retirement than he ever had been! At one of my retirement dinner ceremonies, a young lady came up to me and said, "Thank you for all that you have done and I think that you will find this book ...

An excellent companion to The 30 Day Diabetes Miracle!
I use this in conjunction with The 30-Day Diabetes Miracle: Lifestyle Center of America's Complete Program to Stop Diabetes, Restore Health,and Build Natural Vitality in order to sort out the glycemic index on many of the foods I prepare. It's helpful and easy-to-use. Once the 30 Day DM Cookbook is released, I'm sure it'll make recipes easier to understand. The 30-Day Diabetes Miracle ... 		  
  







  
  
Touchpoints-Birth to Three 2E (Touchpoints)13 reviews
T. Berry Brazelton, Joshua D. Sparrow

Da Capo Press, 2006

Great Insight Into Behaviorial Development And More
There are so many books on the market about parenting in the first few years of your baby's life. I have read a dozen of them, and was mostly disappointed. The "What To Expect" books, for example, are very wordy, and have very pragmatic advice, but for me lack some "depth". Brazelton's book, by contrast is both pragmatic and philosophical, giving parents much more depth on this subject. I ... 		  
  







  
  
Eating Well After Weight Loss Surgery: Over 140 Delicious Low-Fat High-Protein Recipes to Enjoy in the Weeks, ...61 reviews
Patt Levine, Michele Bontmpo-Saray, ...

Da Capo Press, 2004

The best!
This is the best cookbook out there for post bariatric patients. There are wonderful recipes that are easy to prepare and you are given exactly how much protein you will be getting with each meal - which is more important than anything. I love the fact that it was put together by someone who has had the surgery and that she couldn't find a cookbook out there for herself. Face it there isn't ... 		  
  







  
  
Eating for Pregnancy: An Essential Guide to Nutrition with Recipes for the Whole Family17 reviews
Catherine Jones

Da Capo Press, 2003

BEST COOKBOOK EVER - could only be better if it was twice as long!
I'm not pregnant, and neither is anyone in my family, but this is simply the BEST cookbook I've ever purchased. My husband and I are living with my fifty year old parents and my teenage sisters, and I am the only one in the family who likes to eat healthy. I've been cooking healthy recipes from other cookbooks, only to get grumpy looks and half-eaten portions from my family members. Along ...

Type 2 Diabetes and a new life
The book is a wonderful tool for those who have just been diagnosed with diabetes. It supports your emotional needs from day one. The medical background is thorough and you get overloaded with information. All of the information is presented several times throughout the book in practical applications. You need to read the book several times and some chapters more than once to begin to ... 		  
  







  
  
Friday Night Lights: A Town, a Team, and a Dream283 reviews
H.g. Bissinger

Da Capo Press, 2000

Book provides "Hoop-Dreams" insights for the gridiron set
Bissinger, the author, came to Odessa to follow the Permian Panthers thru their entire 1988 season, attending practices as well as games, spending time with several of the key players and their families, reading the newspapers, interviewing the movers and shakers in the desolate, tapped-out landscape in the middle of Nowhere, Texas. Most of us have heard that Texans regard their high school ... 		  
  







  
  
Managing Transitions: Making the Most of Change31 reviews
William Bridges

Da Capo Press, 2003

Transition starts with an ending..
It isn't the fact of change that causes organizational grief, it is managing the psychological transition between the old and the new. In my experience, most organizations do not handle this phase well. In their haste to move on, leaders and managers often forget the very real investment individuals have made in the past, Even when the need for change is understood and appreciated, people ...

10 Days to a Less Defiant Child: The Breakthrough Program for Overcoming Your Child's Difficult Behavior33 reviews
Jeffrey Bernstein

Da Capo Press, 2006

Terrific!
Being the parents of a 14 year old girl heading to high school and an 11 year old ADHD/ODD boy about to start middle school, we need all the help we can get. We fear that our son's ODD will eventually morph into conduct disorder and are willing to try anything to save him (and us) from that. Also, we have been feeling the pain of a defiance issue forming with our daughter as she enters her ...
