Fantastic! Best eating plan I have ever followed. It works!
The Leptin Boost Diet is the best eating plan I have ever followed. I have struggled with my weight all my life. Several weeks ago, I had the opportunity to follow this plan.

I select healthy foods and get to enjoy a ...

Mark De Lisle
Ulysses Press, 2008
BEST IN ITS CLASS!
I have read two other books by the author (Neal SEAL workout, and Master Level Fitness) and this is by far his best book to date, and I rate it BEST IN CLASS. There are so many "SEAL" fit-type books in the marketplace and I have read them all, but this is the very best of all of the ones available to the reader. The book is well-organized, is broken up into separate workouts depending on which ...

The Liver and Gallbladder Miracle Cleanse: An All-Natural, At-Home Flush to Purify and Rejuvenate Your Body13 reviews
Andreas Moritz
Ulysses Press, 2007
Well Done!
This book provides a very detailed explanation of all the affects of Liver and Gallbladder congestion. Andreas comes across as very knowledgeable and experienced in this area. Even though you can find the recipe for a cleanse on sites like curezone, it is very helpful to become fully informed on the reasons for the cleanse. I had heard of this cleanse years ago, but didn't actually have the ...

Tom Woloshyn
Ulysses Press, 2007
Great Book, really works
This diet realy works and is surprisingly "painless" for a big eater like me, I was amazed at the results, although I have almost 40 lbs to lose, it gave me good head start. You MUST follow the directions religously though, it's the only way it will work :-)

Godless: How an Evangelical Preacher Became One of America's Leading Atheists16 reviews
Dan Barker
Ulysses Press, 2008
If you're on the fence, this will push you over to the godless side.
My journey from a religious person to a freethinker was not as much a pager turner as Dan Barker's was. Mine took some time just as Dan's did, but what makes Dan's interesting is that being a genuinely good person, he does what he thinks is the "right thing" and becomes a preacher. For him, it was the right thing to do at the time. As Dan's life goes on, he continues to do the "right things", ...

Atheist Universe: The Thinking Person's Answer to Christian Fundamentalism207 reviews
David Mills
Ulysses Press, 2006
Exceeded all of my expectations...
I've been questioning relgion for quite some time, but never really labeled myself as an atheist. This book is intended as a specific rebuttal to the creative design 'science' promoted by religiously influenced schools. Not only does it wonderfully refute creative design with solid scientific arguements, it also points out many contradictions within the bible on various topics.

Great student hand book
This is a great supplement to any student that is taking Krav Maga. Its impossible to get "it" all in class and having something to use as a manual at home is an asset to your training.
Most instructors I have talked to also have this book and it covers a lot of what is in the instructors manual. its not all the trade secrets mind you but trimmed down and explained in a way that is perfect ...

Just what I needed!
When my wife brought up the subject of sex selection I was really confused. I found a lot of ocnflicting information on the internet. Then our doctor recommended this book to us. It started with a history of sex selection and then talked about a lot of the low tech methods and why they weren't as effective. It described in detail the process of the high tech mthods and what their success rates ...

Total Heart Rate Training: Customize and Maximize Your Workout Using a Heart Rate Monitor11 reviews
Joe Friel
Ulysses Press, 2006
Very informative - almost too much
As with other Friel books I've read, there is an abundance of outstanding, detailed and reasoned information in this book. Probably more detail than any non-professional athlete needs, but it is an outstanding resource. I think it is well worth the money for someone who wants to understand the physiology and theory regarding workouts in order to maximize his/her fitness.

Panic Attacks Workbook: A Guided Program for Beating the Panic Trick17 reviews
David Carbonell
Ulysses Press, 2004
I wish I had had this book 20 years ago...
I think the way the author deconstructs panic attacks, in a thorough, friendly and humorous way, makes it easy to see just how harmless they really are, regardless of how painful it seems at the time. I am learning to apply the techniques to manage panic attacks, and have already seen results. I have even found relief with anticipatory anxiety (a whole chapter on that). There are also helpful ...

James Wesley Rawles
Ulysses Press, 2009
TEOTWAWKI
Much has been written about this book, both pro and con, over the years. What it is, is an excellent survival handbook, written in a very readable, fictional format. What it isn't, is a literary classic. I have heard people comment about it's lack of sophistication or White Christian Male view-point. Get over it. The basic knowledge is there for anyone who: a) thinks that the world may see ...

Mr. Darcy Presents His Bride: A Sequel to Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice44 reviews
Helen Halstead
Ulysses Press, 2007
Overall, a good read
The author kept the characterizations close to what Ms. Austen originally developed for them. The writing style was similar, the situations were pretty much what you would expect in early-19th-century Britain, overall it was an enjoyable read.
Without spoiling anything I was a little disappointed in the final disposition of one of the Bennett sisters. The ending of P&P alluded to a much ...

The pH Balance Diet: Restore Your Acid-Alkaline Levels to Eliminate Toxins and Lose Weight2 reviews
Bharti Vyas, Suzanne Le Quesne

Good pH Balance Resource Book
I purchased this book as I began my own research into adapting a pH balanced diet. It has been very helpful. I also believe it is easier to read and absorb the information over some of the other books on the same subject. It offers an easy to follow diet, if one wants to go 100% into the program. For others, the information provided is easy to adapt into any diet program. Simple to follow ...

Dirty Japanese: Everyday Slang from "What's Up?" to "F*ck Off!" (Dirty Everyday Slang)19 reviews
Matt Fargo
Ulysses Press, 2007
Very funny book with some minor flaws.
I found this book and I am a student learning Japanese. I found this book to be very humorous, especially in the order they put them in. I like the little side sections they put in such as the tan-tan-tanuki drinking song. I find this very enjoyable and I think many other people would find this book wonderful and humorous to read also unless you have no sense of humor.
