American Accent Training (Book and Audio CD, 2nd Edition)79 reviews
Ann Cook
Barron's Educational Series, 2000
Necessary for all non-native English speakers - but you still might have an accent - here's why
This superb book and CD series is excellent and I use this for my ESL students. However, many are stating that they still have their accent. Granted, for many of my students, they are just beginning their English studies.
An accent is a very difficult thing to overcome.
However, I believe this book is commonly used in 'accent reduction' training, meaning, that it can help reduce the ...

7 Weeks to Safe Social Drinking: How to Effectively Moderate Your Alcohol Intake6 reviews
Donna J. Cornett
People Friendly Books, 2005
A Winner for Anyone Questioning Their Drinking
This book has been a lifesaver for me. For years I enjoyed social drinking without problems, but the last couple of years I've questioned if I was drinking too much. This program showed me how to pace my drinking, how to make a drinking plan in advance before I started drinking(which really worked)and how to stick to my limit fairly easily. It also made alcohol less important to me - a huge step ...

8 Minute Meditation: Quiet Your Mind. Change Your Life.39 reviews
Victor Davich
Perigee Trade, 2004
Great book and program for starting meditation
This book was exactly what I was looking for. I had never meditated before and this wonderful 8 week program really got me started. Each week there is a different technique to try and it only takes 8 minutes a day. The approach is very simple and easy to follow. The author is very encouraging, as many beginners (including myself) don't necessarily "get it" at first and think they're doing it ...

A book that honors "one of the most powerful icons in science"

"In spite of the central...role of the periodic table [of the elements], very few authors have felt drawn to write books on its evolution. There is no book that deals adequately with the historical, and especially the conceptual, aspects of the periodic system [that holds that there is a fundamental relationship among the elements] or its significance in chemistry and science generally. ...

Meditations for Relaxation and Stress Reduction4 reviews
Joan Borysenko
Hay House, 2005
Highly recommended!
I highly recommend this audio tape to people who are trying to incorporate meditation into their lives. Dr. Borysenko has a very soothing voice and the exercises are effective. I think this tape may be especially appealing to women; there is some content that I know some men may find corny. However, I found the both the breathing exercises and the stretching to be relaxing and very beneficial.

I Never Held You: A book about miscarriage, healing, and recovery17 reviews
Ellen M. DuBois
DLSIJ Press, 2006
Very uplifting
A lot of the info is pretty basic, however she presents it in a way that applies it specifically to a still-birth or miscarriage.
I have had two miscarriages both early in pregnancy and I found this book very helpful. I have started to read 5 different books and this is the only one that really helped me through it.
