Well, it worked
I hurt my rotator cuffs doing some bag work. I waited a long time (I'm a guy) to go into an ortho. He gave me the advice to work on my posture, lose weight and a photocopy of some exercises to do. Told me that how I injured myself didn't matter, fixing it was what counted. Well, posture and losing weight solved that problem. Had a completely different feeling problem. Went back after ...

Easy to follow!
Reviewed by Kam Aures for RebeccasReads (4/08) "The human body evolved to hunt and gather, to run and jump and climb, to play hard and rest fully - not to sit in front of a computer all day. Evolution has not kept up with the rapid changes of the technological age; we are simply not equipped to deal with all the requirements of modern life."

Incredible book
I purchased this book for my mother who has had problems with back pain for years. She had been to the chiropracter, physical therapist and neurosurgeon with no improvement. After working her way through the book she is markedly improved. Wonderful pictures, easy to follow. I recommend it for all with this problem.

Da Capo Press, 2006

Well done
I just read the book. I went back to post a review and was actually pissed off to read that one of the men died after the publishing of the book. I was "rooting" for him and all of these men the whole time. The book does have some typos in it. I teach HS and catch them rather quickly. However, who cares? The story is what is important. The author stated that he was nearly broke when he had it ...

Essential Chest and Shoulders: An Intense 6-Week Program (Men's Health Peak Conditioning Guides)

7 reviews
Kurt Brungardt, Lou Schuler

Rodale Books, 2001

Lots of Routines
I have read a few body-building books and think this one, along with the other books in the same series (arms, legs, abs, etc), are the best to date. One reason for this is the insistence upon good form. Like a lot of people, I have in the past gotten carried away with adding more weight and not paying attention to form. This is still a temptation but the message on good form presented in this ...

Prentice Hall, 2008

Found it to be quite informative
I am not sure why the other reviewers had problems with this book. I actually found it to be quite easy to read and understandble in its explanations of terminology. I work for a software company which sells a budgeting tool. Since realigning over to our public sector division, I decided to buy this book in order to hone my governmental accounting skills. My accounting degree certainly helped ...

Richard Helms, William Hood

Presidio Press, 2004

Sometimes Bland, But Priceless Collection of Gems
Richard Helms is, after Allen Dulles, arguably the most significant US spymaster and intelligence manager in history. It is a fortunate circumstance that he overcame his reluctance to publish anything at all, and worked with the trusted William Hood, whose own books are remarkable, to put before the public a most useful memoire. Below are a few of the gems that I find worth noting, and for ...

On The Shoulders Of Giants

Stephen Hawking

Running Press, 2003

A Promethean Bible
"On the Shoulders of Giants" is a powerful book. It contains the seminal works of Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler, Newton, and Einstein (translated into English) and thus, is an exhaustive account of their Promethean quest to see beyond the veil of appearance and into the hidden laws of the universe. In that sense it is quite revelatory, i.e., a "Promethean Bible" of sorts. And each of these ...

John Denver

Dawn Publications (CA), 2003

So very touching
Sunshine on My Shoulders book/CD is so very touching with the warm memories of the heart felt song by John Denver and Christopher Canyon's beautiful illustrations that accompany the music. I am an early childhood teacher and I use the book to demonstrate how thoughts become words, become verse, becomes song. . . . The Music Is You opening song on the CD explains this concept even further! The ...

Candlewick, 2002

Great Learning Tool
I have a home daycare. The children clap and dance around when I take this book out to read to them. They have so much fun singing along & doing all the actions. It has helped them with counting & following directions. They always yell "Read it again, read it again". I would recommend this to everyone that has toddlers in their home or for daycare centers.

On The Revolutions of Heavenly Spheres (On the Shoulders of Giants)

Nicolaus Copernicus, Stephen Hawking

Running Press, 2004

What A Joy As Well As A Work of Art
Never before did I know a man could explain the heliocentric universe as well in this book. Of Course, Copernicus explained it centuries before my birth. But, it seems so foolish to believe the geocentric view, and I'm Catholic. Read "Dialogues" by Galileo to get the full picture of what these two men said, it it truly fascinating.

Fair Winds Press, 2002

Great entry-level text for cranky backs
I had purchased Ungaro's Body in Motion and Siler's Pilates Body to begin doing pilates, as they were generally the most respected texts. But my back couldn't handle the most basic level of some of the introductory exercises. This book, however, along with King and Green's Back Strengthening Workout, has given me a sequence of exercises and modifications that (I can already feel after two weeks ...

An entertaining, informative overview
I loved reading this book, which is full of interesting facts about Chicago's rich history. It doesn't go into extreme detail of every event, but it definitely completes its intended task of entertaining and educating the reader.

Harper Paperbacks, 1997

Excellent book!
This is a virtual encyclopedia of exercises to target the deltoids, trapezius, biceps and triceps. Unlike a lot of books, this one doesn't hand you a pre-fab workout for you to follow mindlessly. It's perfect for anyone who's looking to create a tailor-made workout based on their fitness level and available equipment, including barbells, dumbbells, and pulley/weight-stack machines. Its ...

Anthony B. Carey

Wiley, 2005

Amazing!!!
I have had horrible, progressively debilitating low back pain for 1.5 years. I have spent thousands of dollars on massage, acupuncture, chiropractic, and so on, all of which helped for short periods of time. I tried physical therapy, but it did not help for very long. I stretched and strengthened on my own every day, but it did not help for long. I bought this book and began doing the exercises. ...
