proud to be a woman
I was given this book as a gift and wasn't intentionally reading it as a Self Help book. I found that I couldn't put it down, pulled out my high-lighter as I was reading it and started highlighting and starring as I read. Fawn didn't simply interview and tell a story. She wove the lives of these exceptional ecletic women telling of their trials and tribulations, their perserverence, and the ...

Nina won't tell...
Nina won't tell is an excellent book from the series Making Out, all written by Katherine Applegate. It deals with 2 separate topics that Nina won't talk about: 1.) Her crush on her sister's ex, Ben. He happens to also be her best friend's brother. 2.) Her uncle molesting her when she was much younger. With the help of her friends, Nina is able to confront her past and come out ten million ...

The Frugal Book Promoter: How To Do What Your Publisher Won't

After Writing the Book You are Only Half Done
Authors are increasingly coming to appreciate the fact that by the time their book is written, only half of the job is done. Promoting the book may take as much or more time than writing it. Unless authors are internationally famous or very lucky the proceeds from book sales may not allow for expensive promotion. The solution is to do it frugally.

Aren't we all great story tellers?
What a brilliant idea! How many nights have you sat around with friends, old or new, and shared horrible stories of the embarrassing and/or bizarre things you'd done in college? This book will have you reading the stories over and over in disbelief... the best of the best.

What Your Doctor Won't (or Can't) Tell You

Evan S. Levine

Putnam Adult, 2004

Shocking and revealing!
I was shocked to learn that drug companies and medical suppliers "court" and "pay" (my quotes) doctors to use their products. The author explains the process behind the FDA approving a drug and that some doctors have a conflict of interest while taking part in the approval process.

An all-star cast of my generation! I swooned over Rod Taylor and Robert Culp!
Wow! My sister pointed me to this audio book and I couldn't believe my ears. I just relaxed on my bed to listen and was absolutely delighted with the movie-quality of the sound effects. Not only is this a masterful, well-written plot, it's also a quality production. The best I've heard. And those stars that the magnificent author/director Paul Kyriazi lined up for this special version of ...

A Must Read!
John Callahan is my favorite crippled cartoonist! He's honest and hilarious! I've been a fan for years and have most of his cartoon books. I'm glad I added this to my collection!

Mad Cowboy: Plain Truth from the Cattle Rancher Who Won't Eat Meat

Howard F. Lyman, Glen Merzer

Scribner's, 1998

This is a MUST READ for people who want the truth.
My wife (dairy farmer family background) read and confirmed a small portion from the book, and I became an instant vegetarian. I cheat a little, yet rarely and carefully. Most meat producers should be forced into bankruptcy and thrown into prison. What the meat industry is doing is criminal. We've given out many copies of this book.

Expect the Unexpected (Or You Won't Find It): A Creativity Tool Based on the Ancient Wisdom of Heraclitus

Roger Von Oech

Free Press, 2001

Philosophy as if it Matters
I was first tempted to give this book only one star for disparaging the notion of "pure philosophy." But then I began to question what the purpose of philosophy was. Who has done philosophy more of a disservice, Von Oech, who sees the creative potential in Heraclitus and passes it on to willing readers, or the academics, who have purified and rarefied philosophy into something quite ...

Covered All The Bases...And More
I bought this book thru Amazon in June 2006 because of my experiences working with a close friend who had just lost his father rather unexpectedly. My friend faced a monstrous task of trying to track down his father's assets, business records, last will, credit accounts, etc. just to scratch the surface. As a participant in his frustration, I began to think about the arrangement of my personal ...

Putnam Juvenile, 2005

A realistic peek at the HIGH DRAMA OF HIGH SCHOOL! Funny, sad, and a great read!
This book not only "swooshed" me back in time to my own high school days, but it also brought memories of my children's high drama of high school. How little reactions (both mental and physical) have changed since then ... and I confess, that was a looooooong time ago. Although Storky's a male, and I'm a female, this author brought not only Storky's feelings but the feelings of all the ...

It's how I want to raise my teens
Finally, a book that reflects the way I want to raise my soon-to-be teens, but I didn't know it! I'd read several books, all of which didn't touch a nerve until this one. It also helped me to realize it's time to connect up with other non-judgmental guerilla moms. I don't want to put my teens in a bubble, and then be in denial whenever the bubble bursts behind my back. Instead, I want to ...

McClain Printing Company, 2006

Don't Buy Another Vote, I Won't Pay for a Landslide
Dr. Allen Loughry's "Don't Buy Another Vote, I Won't Pay for a Landslide" is truly a breath of fresh air in a genre that sorely needed it. Most books written these days about the political arena and the corrupt nature attendant to it are riddled with shortcomings and philosophical pitfalls and, in the end, simply don't deliver. More often than not they serve to advance the agenda of their own ...

And now the island is being offered for sale...
This book is completely crazy! Absurd, funny as hell. (And if you are able to stop laughing for a moment: It is certainly not without sting.) Today's news (Jan 8th, 2007) made it even funnier: I had no idea that the story of Foul Rock was directly inspired by reality! And now it is up for sale... The "real" Foul Rock's name is Sealand, located outside the coast of England (although not in ...

Ron Levine Photography, 2000

Prisoners of age
This was without doubt the most thought provoking body of work I have ever had the pleasure of reading. The pictures are haunting in their eloquence. There images leave you with a sense of despair that at first overwhelms, but then touches you in pity for those poor wretches staring back from their miserable confines.

Mission-Critical Security Planner: When Hackers Won't Take No for an Answer

Eric Greenberg

John Wiley & Sons, 2003

Awesome high-level book
It is very rarely, that you'd see a good high-level security book nowadays. There are lots of great "worm-eye view" books with nice detailed descriptions of attacks, defenses, secure configuration options, tools and tricks. However, many of the high-level books resolve to quoting some outdated CSI/FBI survey, blabbering about security policy and giving out piles of outworldly advice on how to ...

Fairview Press, 2002

Not just for cancer victims!
This book was written by Dr. Williams, an eminent and widely published experimental psychologist in the field of learning theory and many other related fields. Dr. Williams was diagnosed in 1995 with a glioblastoma with, for all practical purposes, zero chance of survival. He immediately went on a quest for maximizing his chances of survival by evaluating and combining traditional and ...

A Sound Theory With An Interesting Narrative
Roman-era expert Adrian Goldsworthy has written an outstanding history of seven centuries of Roman generalship with his latest volume, In the Name of Rome: The Men Who Won the Roman Empire. This is Goldsworthy's first volume that is focused primarily on individuals, rather than organizational studies of the Roman Army, but he handles the material deftly and brings these characters into sharp ...
