Fair Share Divorce for Women, Second Edition: The Definitive Guide to Creating a Winning Solution

3 reviews
Kathleen A. Miller

St. Martin's Griffin, 2007

Best divorce book I have read
This is the 4th book I've read on divorce. It is very well-written and highly accessible. The author approaches the process in a logical, humane fashion that left me feeling empowered, rather than burdened with list of to-dos. The author's superb table delineating the phases of a divorce with a timeline makes it relatively easy to form the big picture of what divorce constitutes. She then ...

Lords of the Land: The War for Israel's Settlements in the Occupied Territories, 1967-2007

7 reviews
Idith Zertal, Akiva Eldar

Nation Books, 2007

The settlements are illegal under both international and Israeli domestic law.
A previous reviewer made the shocking (but incorrect) assertion that the legality of the settlements is somehow in question. She is absolutely incorrect. See Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention, which explicitly stipulates: "The Occupying Power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies." Perhaps she should have read the footnotes of ...

Divorce & Money: How to Make the Best Financial Decisions During Divorce

9 reviews
Violet Woodhouse, Dale Fetherling

NOLO, 2006

The best book available
Recently saw another book with this same title at the bookstore, so I picked up both. Of the two, the Nolo book was so much more helpful -- it assumes you want to handle most of the details yourself, and avoid lawyers, whereas the other kept talking about how to choose a lawyer (an expensive, time-wasting lawyer).

Great Evidence Gathering Guideline
The author focuses a lot about the importance of hiring a PI to do the dirty work, however, He does bring very good points in regards to maintaining a dairy which is an excellent idea, specially if you are dealing with a case of neglect, He does not mention anything about keeping a picture journal, since pictures speak a million words, but the sole idea of keeping a detailed journal is great as a ...

Great Issues in American History, Vol. I: From Settlement to Revolution, 1584-1776

Vintage, 1969

Historical Genius
This is going to be short and sweet. The book is excellent for research. It gives you a history of the events that occurred throughout the time period of 1584 - 1775 and then includes primary documents. There are many different perspectives from one document to another. If you're interested in history or are doing research on a particular subject in this era, I would recommend this book to you.

I was able to understand the concepts and explanations which are provided, and felt confident enough to ask questions which I am sure saved me several hundreds of dollars. Before reading Sandy's book, I was intimidated by the professionals ...

Black Mass: Apocalyptic Religion and the Death of Utopia

7 reviews
John Gray

Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2007

Un-realising a "perfect" world
It's not easy categorising John Gray. He's generally listed as a "philosopher", but he rarely delves into the roots of human behaviour. His philosophy is founded on recorded history. Like most modern "philosophers", his arena is the canon of Western European tradition and practice. That approach, at least in Gray's hands, makes him more political commentator than philosopher. The shift of ...

Mrs. Henry Schoenfeld

Applewood Books, 1996

Excellent "basic" cookbook
I received this book as a gift about 15 years ago & it is by far my most often used. It was originally copyrighted in 1901 & has been revised many times, however many of the recipes still appear as they did then. Recipes range from the very simple (scrambled eggs or grilled cheese sandwiches) to exotic (Fondue Bourguignonne). It will take you from breakfast to an after dinner cordial - ...

This is a must have for a home buyer. especially a first timer like myself. Irwin's book covered many scenerios I experienced in my home buying process. It totally streamlined the process and eased many of my fears. It is tough buying a home especially if you're single. There was no one available to me to ask questions of. I would hate to think what would have happened if I hadn't read it. And ...

McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages, 2003

recommended CR reading
This is a very comprehensive survey of conflict resolution theory. The bulk of the work focuses on conflict escalation and stalemate, leaving a noticeably smaller section on settlement at the very end. The information is readily applicable to analysis of community and international disputes. Thorough citation and summaries offer a rich resource for further reading. I read this for an ...

Benjamin G. Bistline

Agreka Books, 2004

This book is so accurate!
I found this book very enlightening. I learned a lot about a group of people I knew little about. I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to know the truth about the society in Colorado City/Hildale. The author is not interested in sensationalism, but in reporting the truth. I moved to an area just south of these twin towns - found the people interesting and the book helps me to understand ...
