Sleep Thief: Restless Legs Syndrome5 reviews
Virginia N. Wilson, David, M.D. Buchholz, ...
Galaxy Books (FL), 1996
This book shocked me because it describes my life!
This book lit a fuse for me. I have suffered from Restless Legs Syndrome for 30 years, and until I ran across this book, I had basicly given up on any help. I received the book three weeks ago, saw a neurologist at the Swedish Hospital's Sleep Disorder Clinic in Seattle two weeks ago, and am set up for a sleep test in two weeks! I am so thoroughly excited about all this & have this book to ...

Perils of a Restless Planet: Scientific Perspectives on Natural Disasters11 reviews
Jr, Ernest Zebrowski
Cambridge University Press, 1997
Scientific Perspectives on Natural Disasters
Ernest Zebrowski, Jr. is both a teacher and a story-teller in "Perils of a Restless Planet." I picked the book up to review it and found myself reading it from cover to cover all over again. Stylistically, the author will begin with the story of, say, the San Francisco earthquake (1906). He then compares it to the Messina earthquake (1908), and asks why there were so many more casualties in the ...

Geology of the Northwest for all readers

Hill's straight-forward style of presenting technical subjects makes the book an excellent source of geologic information, particularly for the casual reader. His depth of understanding of complex processes and ability to explain them in a manner ...

The Chickens Are Restless7 reviews
Time Warner Paperbacks, 1993
More Subtle Gary Larson Humor
This 1993 compilation collects about 361 Far Side illustrations. I found this collection to be a bit less riotous than some others of Larson's collections, and in many cases I had to think more to understand the joke.
For example, there is an illustration showing workers in a chicken processing factory. It took me a moment to realize that there was a basket on the wall with a "GIZZARDS" ...

Restless nights: Selected stories of Dino Buzzati5 reviews
Dino Buzzati
Carcanet Press, 1984
Power and the One
This collection of stories by the versatile Italian writer, Dino Buzzati, bears a curious resemblance to the stories of Jorge Luis Borges. Borges's argument - and Buzzati's - appears to be with the nature of man. Like Borges, Mr. Buzzati employs a relative simplicity of language to reveal and conceal the circularity and ineluctability of time and destiny. The longest story in the collection, ...

Restless Faith: Holding on to a God Just Out of Reach6 reviews
Winn Collier
NavPress Publishing Group, 2005
Real. Honest. Wrestling.
Make note of that name: Winn Collier. Then pick up this book, read it and make plans to get another copy--you'll want to pass this one along to a friend. As with Blue Like Jazz, Donald Miller's breakthrough title, Restless Faith has all the earmarks of a grassroots success story. And this, like Miller's, will be well-deserved.
Restless Faith explores the mystery of God--the space between the ...

Chris Mercogliano
Beacon Press, 2004
Every educator and parent should read this book.
As a homeschooling parent, I picked up this book just to see what "secrets" might be revealed. I was happy to see everything we do reinforced by the writer's experience as an educator. This book mixes scientific facts and studies in with the tale of a school year. He shows repeatedly that we need to let our children be. He explains how we have gotten ourselves to this point of drugging ...

Restless Dead: Ghost Stories from Around the World4 reviews
Morris L. Cohen
Simon Pulse, 1990
You need to read this!!!!
The Restless Dead is a very suspenseful and interesting book and I recommend it to people who like to stay up late and tell ghost stories. It's not just one tale, so if you don't like certain types of stories you have a selection. One of the best stories was " The Stolen Liver." Another detail about this book is that if you have a weak stomach don't read a few of these stories, belive me they'll ...

Ride The Restless Tide4 reviews
Margaret Devereaux
Xlibris Corporation, 1999
A Brigadier General's comments on Ride The Restless Tide
Ride The Restless Tide is at once a scholarly work of historical fiction, a compelling novel of suspense, and a fascinating slice of Post-Revolution Americana. The author is conversant with the technical details of sailing ships, tuned to the niceties of family life, and alert to the need of the reader to be kept in suspense and enjoyment.

I met this author at a book signing where there were several other authors. Later I purchased her book on amazon and I am glad that I did. What a chilling story! I loved the author's style of description and many times had to pause and appreciate that the story had captured me. I read it straight through.
If you appreciate the supernatural, you will love the way this author has intertwined the ...

Restless Journey: Every Man's Struggle for Significance4 reviews
Marcus Ryan
Harvest House Publishers, 2006
An Important Book for All Christian Men to Read
There are a lot of Christian books out there for men--there are titles like Tender Warrior and Wild at Heart, to name a few. The reason for this is that, especially in the past century and during the past few years of the 21st century, men have had a hard time identifying with church, and thus identifying themselves as followers of God through Jesus Christ. Yes, there is a growth away from that ...

Rest Assured: Devotions for Souls in a Restless World3 reviews
Nancy McGuirk
B&H Books, 2007
Good little devotional
This is a good little devotional. The 90 day format is not too overwhelming and it includes reflective questions and a group guide. The comments have thoughtful twists on commonly quoted and rarely read verses. It is a beautiful, hardbound book. I passed it on as gifts to a busy young mom and a college student friend.

This was pleasurable reading. For those interested in the Amish, an interesting twist on descendants who have moved out of the Amish faith. A nurse practitioner finding her roots and returning to her homeland. A police man who also has an Amish heritage. Both meet up with each other along the way. The story line kept the reader interested with it's twist and turn of events.

Routledge, 2006
A delightful read about New York
This is one of the most delightful books I have ever read about New York's history. Reitano has an easy and interesting style that captivated me from page one. I enjoyed the stories she told and at the same time the interesting thesis about our restless city. I assigned it as part of my History of New York City class and the students told me it was their favorite book in the course. A perfect ...

Great Weather Overview
This is a great book for people mildly interested in weather phenomena all the way to hard core 'weather junkies'. Paul Douglas, who is very popular in the Twin Cities, covers a wide range of weather topics, focusing on extreme weather conditions that grip our attention, like tornadoes and hurricanes, and even addresses politically sensitive issues like global warming. His style is sufficiently ...
