Founding Brothers: The Revolutionary Generation379 reviews
Joseph J. Ellis

Vintage, 2002

A tasteful look into each of those fascinating men
In the afterglow of the HBO series on John Adams, I grew interested in some of the founding fathers, many of whom had seemed boring to me ever since I read their bios in grade school. Ellis does a highly intelligent and readable job of laying out the personalities, conflicts and battles of the whole group during the first years of the nation. I particularly like the chapter on the duel between ...

really important book
Scream-Free Parenting raises an important topic for parents and explains it in a simple, clear way. Any parent will benefit from reading this book. Even parents who don't scream will appreciate this approach to parenting, because this book has much more information in it than "don't scream." It really helps parents to take the driver's seat in THEMSELVES and in their homes. It address the anxiety ...

Joseph J. Ellis

Knopf, 2007

The Continuing American Revolution
Together with the Civil War, the American Revolution continues to exert a great fascination for Americans. The historian Joseph Ellis has written many books making this period of our history accessible to lay readers. His most recent work "American Creation" is, in its scholarship and its lucidity, a thoughtful study of the founding of our nation. The founding of the United States, for Ellis, ...

Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain34 reviews
John J. Ratey

Little, Brown and Company, 2008

Should be required reading
In the interest of full disclosure, I will admit that I am a doctoral candidate in health psychology who is studying cardiovascular exercise as a viable treatment for comorbid emotional and physical disorders... that being said, I think that everyone should read this book. For a long time, the general public has minimized the beneficial effects of exercise and has consistently cut physical ...

Runner's World Run Less, Run Faster: Become a Faster, Stronger Runner with the Revolutionary FIRST Training ...24 reviews
Bill Pierce, Scott Murr, ...

Rodale Books, 2007

Efficient Training Method
I've always had the theory that if everyone who trained for a sport would cut their training time in half, their performance would improve. While this book doesn't advocate that exactly, it proves the idea that training a lot less does improve performance. The method is called the FIRST program, which stands for Furman Institute of Running and Scientific Training. The book is for anyone who ... 		  
  







  
  
Total Immersion: The Revolutionary Way To Swim Better, Faster, and Easier93 reviews
Terry Laughlin

Fireside, 2004

An amazing teaching/learning tool
I really needed help with my swimming (freestyle/crawl); a guy at the pool who moved thru the water in a truly enviable way recommended it. I got it. I did the drills. I made the effort to understand the theory. I actually enjoy swimming now. I checked out a lot of books on swimming from my local libraries and none compare favorably to this one. The Total Immersion school of thought also ... 		  
  







  
  
In the Time of the Butterflies153 reviews
Julia Alvarez

Plume, 1995

"Thou art strong and great, a hero."
My sister-in-law bought this as a gift for me years ago and it ended up being one of my top 5 favorite novels of all time. "In the Time of the Butterflies" is the true story of 4 sisters living in the Dominican Republic during the reign of the dictator Rafael Trujillo ("El Jefe"). Trujillo's reign was incredibly violent and he took personal pleasure in using fear and torture to achieve his ...

Cokie Roberts

Harper Perennial, 2005

A Different Perspective on the Founding of Our Nation
"Founding Mothers" tells the story of women, famous, not so famous and obscure, who contributed to the founding of the United States. In this, as in her other works, Cokie Roberts has told an excellent story. Some of the women, such as Martha Washington and Abigail Adams, we know well. Others, including Mercy Otis Warren and Eliza Pinckney, are mothers and wives of lesser known men, who ...

Caldwell B. Esselstyn

Avery, 2008

prevent & Reverse Heart Disease
I was so impressed by reading the first single copy of Caldwell B. Esselstyn's book that I bought 4 more copies to give away. It is a book that should be read by the general population for in this country (Australia)for over 48,000 people die each year from heart attacks that could largely be avoided.

Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, ...

Signet Classics, 2003

Another vote for must read
The details have already been well covered so let me just add another five star vote for must read(or for many of us reread). Whatever your political views you simply cannot understand the basis of our countries principles without working through the Federalist Papers. Step away from the bloggers and bar stool pundits(same thing really-just different delivery) and do your own homework on the ... 		  
  







  
  
Intuitive Eating: A Revolutionary Program That Works74 reviews
Evelyn Tribole, Elyse Resch

St. Martin's Griffin, 2003

Intuitive Eater
I give five stars to this book for a few reasons. First, being a young adult involved in the fashion industry, it is not easy to find answers out there that make sense. Of all the literature I have read on nutrition, dieting, and weight control, I feel this one is well rounded. There are no severe restrictions, no two week diet plans, and no extreme measures with results that do not last. I ... 		  
  







  
  
The Art of Putting: The Revolutionary Feel-Based System for Improving Your Score26 reviews
Stan Utley, Matthew Rudy

Gotham, 2006

Simple, natural and powerful!
First off, I am a 3 handicap that is working hard at trying to get to a 0. My biggest struggle was with my short game, my pitching was decent at best, chipping was pretty steady, but my putting was awful. I was averaging about 33-34 putts per round. I attempted to read both Pelz books but found them extremely dry, poorly written and the methods didn't do anything for me. After reading this ...

The Autobiography of Malcolm X : As Told to Alex Haley295 reviews

Ballantine Books, 1987

I know something Malcolm didn't
Despite the dispiriting revelation that this book was almost totally written by Alex Haley, "The Autobiography of Malcolm X" remains one of my favorite books. Which is a little strange, since his well-known struggles with civil rights, the police, Black identity, and Islam have little or no relevance to my life. Sorry. The part of this book that affects me most deeply is where Malcolm is in ...
