After many disappointing reads, this fulfilled all my hopes for a clear, well-written book covering the recent scientific research on child development, rather than just the authors' prejudices and biases about how they think children ought to be raised. My only complaint is that I wish it were ...             It's Not About the Bike: My Journey Back to Life739 reviews Lance Armstrong, Sally Jenkins Berkley Trade, 2001 Through Hell and to the Podium of the Tour de France I was truly fascinated with this book, and for different reasons. I went in to this one knowing only that Armstrong won the Tour de France a gazillion times and that he survived cancer. With every turn of the page I was fascinated with the life that he had lived to that point. What blew me away the most was learning that he was a world class athlete before he was diagnosed with cancer and ...             Why Italians Love to Talk About Food1 review Elena Kostioukovitch Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2009 An off-beat take on the Italian cookbook and Italian culture Kostioukovitch is Umberto Eco's Russian language translator, and has lived in Italy for the past twenty years. This book is about half pensive reflection on topics of (presumably common Italian) conversation such as totalitarianism, "Joy," pilgrims, and America, and half discussions of the foods and wines of Italy as she takes an imaginary trip around the country. A lot of food is described, ...             What's So Great about Christianity182 reviews Dinesh D'Souza Tyndale House Publishers, Inc., 2008 Refreshing This book is a well reasoned anlysis of the arguments that Athiests posit against Christianity. I like that the author takes the hard road and actually takes the argument to athiests in a very logical and reasoned out manner. Every Christian should read this book to see that the faith they hold is not so outrageous. Every non-Christian should read it to really think about the arguments and ...             Don't Know Much About History: Everything You Need to Know About American History but Never Learned (Don't ...166 reviews Kenneth C.

Sunstein Penguin (Non-Classics), 2009 Moving others in their right direction and growing the pie rather than your slice of it! My first impression was Sunstein had gone into the self-help book business, but this is an incredible introduction to the power of policy making based on meaningful and well reasoned research. Maybe it's too wonky for those not interested in policy making. Maybe it's not wonky enough for those who are in that field already. But for someone interested in better understanding and analyzing ...             How to Improve Your Marriage Without Talking About It54 reviews Patricia Love, Steven Stosny Broadway, 2008 Must Have for All Couples This book is changing my life for the better.
