Wealth of Info for new attament parenters
This is a wonderful book for new parents. I am pregnant with my 2nd baby and wish I had this book the first time around. If you disagree with attachment parenting, you might not like this book; but if you plan on using babywearing, sleepsharing, and similar techniques to soothe your baby, this is a wonderful resource to have on your bookshelf.

The essense of business education
A definite must read for anyone thinking about going into MBA program. This book is highly intelligent, very entertaining and true to the soul (if there is one) description of "experiential" learning which forms the core of HBS case-based education. It also can serve as a quick refresher on major topics, from corporate finance to negotiations techniques. It even has few good hints for solving ...

Amazing book and Fantastic Shipping, Amazon!
This book is simply amazing, very easy to follow and learn. It explains basic concepts, and has some useful material - in the book as well as online - that will help you. I frankly didn't even need the study guide; I thought the book by itself was great for me. The authors have taken a lot of trouble with detailing and giving examples, for someone new to finance to pick up on. There are chapters ...

Classic Kingsolver
I love anything by Barbara Kingsolver and this book was no exception. She made a believer out of me and many of our bookclub members. Even though many of us do not have gardens (this year anyway), we're all haunting the farmers' markets in town and stocking up on organic, locally grown produce, meats, eggs and dairy. The writing was just as mesmerizing as any of her fiction -- one of those ...

THE Origin Of The Batman
Frank Miller put together the best re-telling of the beginnings of Batman. From the death of Bruce Wayne's parents, all the way through his first tenuous year as a crime fighter. You can see where a lot of Batman Begins was inspired by this piece of work. It's the first graphic novel I was ever given, and would make a valuable addition to your collection.

Excellent Text!
This is an excellent text no matter what health profession you are in. I very rarely read the text. The pictures accompanied with the tables are basically what I used. You would see the picture and have a table of origin, insertion, action and nerve. If you really want to go into depth then you can read it. Moore did a great look at and then I would recommend a real life atlas such as Rohen to ...

Buy this for your daughter
This funny math book teaches girls that it's OK to be smart, and that they are perfectly capable of kicking a little pre-algebra butt. McKellar takes a lightweight approach to math, but is deadly serious about it. In the prologue, she writes that "lots of people change their majors and abandon their dreams just to avoid a couple of math classes in college." Girls in particular, she ...
Temple At The Center Of Time: Newton's Bible Codex Finally Deciphered and the Year 2012

A belief that the ancients held unusual scientific knowledge, of which only fragments remain today, was held by many great philosophers and scientists who participated in the "scientific revolution". Though research by these men led to great discovery, many were convinced that they were merely scratching the surface of an immense but lost pristine knowledge (prisca sapientia) somehow reflected in the architecture and remains of ancient ...

Wow! What a smashing blow to the creationist?! Well, I am a creationist but this book gave me many things to consider. So, the the Tiktaalik is a transitional form. I would like to hear a creationist answer to this! Also, The same basic gene can be moved from one creature to another to produce the "hand" - or, the fin in the case of a shark. This book helps to "connect the dots" of how ...

The College Course for Gardening!
Eliot Coleman is a superb author and teacher. This little book would inspire anybody to grow their own, stash and enjoy the larder of their labor and give humor along with it all! I also bought his other book on Organic Gardening and it's also very informative.....they go hand in hand and I feel like I've taken a biological study in the basics - right down to the tools! A great read...

Most Motivating Book
This is the most motivating book I've ever read. My daughter-in-law gave it to me for my birthday. It was so motivating that I have been exercising 5 or 6 times a week for the last 12 weeks. I have bought about 10 and given them away to my friends. I am grateful to my sweet daughter-in-law for giving me this book and getting me back into exercise.

Great fun for the word lover
Nicholson Baker has written a wonderful review for "The New York Times" of Ammon Shea's travel report on his journey through the OED in Reading the OED: One Man, One Year, 21,730 Pages. Shea preferred the joys of the printed page to the computerized OED, and he traveled through The Oxford English Dictionary (20 Volume Set) to experience the tactile joys of turning pages. Here's a way to ...

Paul's letters: the oldest documents of the Catholic faith
Father Pacwa is a biblical scholar of remarkable depth, but he's also a preacher who can communicate to ordinary people. He has produced something remarkable here: a profound synthesis of St. Paul's thinking on a variety of subjects, but in a form that's digestible for parish groups and home Bible studies. His special focus is the Church's sacraments, but he also touches upon other doctrinal, ...

Makes Life Worth Living
In Woody Allen's masterpiece Manhattan, he asks himself "why is life worth living." He proceeds to give a variety of concrete answers such as Willie Mays, Swedish movies and Cezanne's apples and pears. For me, Gabriel Garcia Marquez's 100 Years of Solitude is a reason for living. It is my favorite book of all time. The writing is beautifully lyrical. This is especially amazing since I ...
