bizarre, weird and cool
Art of Modern Rock features some incredible art drawn from great artists and is a must not just for a rock aficionado, but for an art enthusiast, an artist, a designer or even a writer.

Bead on a Wire: Making Handcrafted Wire and Beaded Jewelry89 reviews
Sharilyn Miller
North Light Books, 2005
Love this Book
This book is just what I was looking for... almost half is about wire techniques that really take beaded jewelry well beyond the basics. The instructions are very clear and the photos let you see every step of the process. The projects that comprise the balance of the book are interesting and really sparked my own imagination to create unique jewelry items.

extremely good book
I got this book back in 2002 or so and have read it countless times...at least 15 times or so. It is extremely well written and keeps you interested from cover to cover. I have been waiting for a sequel since the first time I read it. This book really is a must read!

Great for the environment
Due to a plumbing fault in the house, my family have been composting in the back garden on a daily basis for over a year. What a bonus to stumble upon this book and find out that our actions have been helping to preserve the future of our planet! A number of residents in our street have complainined that the local environment has been suffering from some kind of unpleasant air pollution of late, ...

The Narcissistic Family: Diagnosis and Treatment45 reviews
Stephanie Donaldson-Pressman, Robert M. Pressman
Lexington Books, 1994
Thank GOD for this book
I always knew my mom could be awful and my dad was passive, and that our household wasn't normal. But because there was no obvious abuse - no alcoholism, no hitting - and my parents paid for sailing lessons and an Ivy League college - I thought my adult problems were unrelated. Even after two consecutive therapists labeled my mother a narcissist, I couldn't make the connection between my ...

Neck Injuries61 reviews
S. M. A. Babar
Springer, 2000
Very nice and useful pocket book
I supervise the trauma center in a busy part of Hong Kong for a teaching hospital. I have found this book packed with useful information. It is very suitable for doctors and nurses in a trauma center and is also of considerable use to the paramedics who want to know a little bit more in cervical injuries. I have seen many instances of chiropractic cervical trauma in Hong Kong and was impressed to ...

Advanced Water Distribution Modeling and Management96 reviews
Haestead Press, 2003
Great to have everything under one roof
I wish I knew of this book's existence years ago. For too many years, I have been using several other reference books to "answer" my never ending questions and doubts on modeling and related subjects. It even has reference on non-concontinuous flow condition. A great book with lots of "weight." The price was right, too, I received this gem free as a bonus for signing up to attend a wwebcast ...

You Can Beat Prostate Cancer51 reviews
Robert J. Marckini
Robert J. Marckini, 2007
Cutting Through the Medical Jargon- a book with hope!
My (then 60 year old) husband was diagnosed with prostate cancer in June of 2005 (Gleason score 8- PSA 114) by a urologist recommended to us by our general practioner. We were lucky that this urologist used at least a 12 sample (honestly at this time can't remember if it was more, but not less) biopsy needle, because we knew nothing about the standards for this procedure at that point. This ...

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.

Basic Clinical Massage Therapy: Integrating Anatomy and Treatment (Lww Massage Therapy & Bodywork Educational ...34 reviews
James H Clay, David M Pounds
Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2006
Just Great
I have bought many books and DVD's on massage and anatomy and this is by far the best. It acomplishes what others often fail at and what all my teachers tried to instill in me, looking at a body in a 3 dimensional way. Did I mention the DVD? I was soo suprised that it actually showed everthing (well at least all the anatomy, palaptations, striping and crossfibering) thats in the book. I am very ...

Save the Cat! Goes to the Movies: The Screenwriter's Guide to Every Story Ever Told33 reviews
Blake Snyder
Michael Wiese Productions, 2007
The Secret to Screenwriting Exposed!
This book is awesome!
If you want to write a spec script that will get sold then READ THIS BOOK and it's companion (the original Save the Cat book). This book literally blows the roof off the "secrets" behind successful screenwriting.
My collection of screenwriting books is ridiculous. The problem with ALL of those other books (with the exception of those by Cynthia Whitcomb) is that they ...

Eating in the Light of the Moon40 reviews
Anita A. Johnston PhD.
Kensington Publishing Corp., 1999
Unique approach to eating disorders
Reading this book has been wonderful for me. It provides survival tools in the form of stories and metaphors so they are easy to remember and call on when in distress. It separates weight from the issue, and suggests a more holistic and psychological approach toward resolution.
I recommend this for anyone who suffers from anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder or compulsive eating ...

He's Not Autistic But...: How We Pulled Our Son From the Mouth of the Abyss30 reviews
Tenna Merchent
Joyous Messenger, Inc, 2007
Read this book
Tenna Merchent's honest account of her efforts to recover her little boy "on the brink" of autism addresses the many elements necessary for recovery when a family is confronted with the trainwreck of metabolic causes and issues that underlie this disorder which the medical community still overlooks in diagnosing autism as a whole-body disorder (as opposed to simply a "behavioral problem"). For ...

Dr. Bob's Guide to Stop ADHD in 18 Days43 reviews
Robert DeMaria
Drugless Healthcare Solutions, 2005
Dr. Bob's advice: dead on.
When I first saw this book I thought... "18 days? Yeah, right." But I thought I didn't have anything to lose but a few dollars so I got it. We had tried all kinds of diets, vitamins, meds. Things would get better but not be entirely "back to normal".
I read through Dr. Bob's book, took notes, implemented some of the thoughts... I read the entry of one of the readers below that talked about the ...

Healing Anxiety and Depression35 reviews
Daniel G. Amen
Putnam Adult, 2003
There is help!
There are a lot of self help books out there, and in that there are a lot of them that don't help. This book helps people do what they need to do to not suffer anymore. It talks about medication if needed, and other natural alternatives as well. I like how Dr. Amen stresses that it is a change in a whole lifestyle. Taking medicine, natural or not needs to be accompanied by a GOOD DIET ...

WOW!!
This is a wonderful, informative, and beautiful book. This book is about the Absolut Vodka advertising campaign. How it began, and what it is about. There are many beautiful, and breath taking images which makes you see the entire light of the campaign which looks so simple from the outside. Now, you get the inside looks and it isn't simple at all but an amazing experience. WOW!!

Facing the inevitable
By the time you are purchasing this book you probably are on your way to having a biopsy or, more likely, have received the report and its not good news....This book is the most comprehensive of all that I've looked at since my own biopsy, though one warning is to keep in mind that surgical techniques have still improved even further since the book went to press a couple years ago....The stress ...

Relearning to See: Improve Your Eyesight -- Naturally!34 reviews
Thomas R. Quackenbush
North Atlantic Books, 2000
Unbelievable
I bought this book on Amazon.com a month ago, after my doctor prescribed stronger lenses from -.50D to -1.50D. I performed these natural seeing habits during this one month period, and went back to the doctor because I couldn't believe myself that the glasses became too strong for me (luckly I didn't get rid of my old glasses with -.50 strength) so I could wear them in the mean time. After being ...
