The APA (American Psychological Association) publication manual is now in its fifth incarnation, and remains the writer's reference to the style required by over a thousand journals in psychology, education, and other fields. Those familiar with the stylistic Tower of Babel that exists in other fields, such as medicine or biology, understand this is no small achievement. The International ...             The Shack1292 reviews William P. Young Windblown Media, 2007 Rock your religious World One of the most challenging books I have ever read, and I have read thousands. This book will cause you to rethink your opinions about who the God of the Bible really is and how he interacts with his creation. I found it to be a book I could not put down until I had finished it, and it kept being exciting and thought provoking.             Twilight (The Twilight Saga, Book 1)2273 reviews Stephenie Meyer Little, Brown Young Readers, 2006 Twilight Saga Book 1 I really loved this book. It drew me right in.The characters were interesting . I did not expect it to be such a romantic story and it was a suprise as I knew nothing of this series. Saw the author on TV and decieded to give it a try. Stephenie Meyer has done a great job with this very original work.I look forward to reading other books written by her.             The Story of Edgar Sawtelle: A Novel293 reviews David Wroblewski Ecco, 2008 A Solid Debut Good books draw you in and beckon when you are gone. The moment you set eyes upon the page you have stepped into that world and are surrounded in every way to that place, those people, and in this case those Sawtelle dogs. Mind you, this was not an easy book for me to read. The second half was difficult, and the ending isn't tidy as I almost hoped for, but the writing, the characters, this ...             The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society160 reviews Mary Ann Shaffer, Annie Barrows The Dial Press, 2008 The catchy title This is one where you get very attached to the characaters. The author gets you involved right away and the story line is complicated enough to keep the pages turning until lights out. It's one you'll read about and not easily forget about. I'd nominate it for a book club choice. It will generate a lively discussion.             Hot, Flat, and Crowded: Why We Need a Green Revolution--and How It Can Renew America16 reviews Thomas L. Friedman Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2008 Corporate communicators can get greening insights I recently received a note from a corporate communications officer with a list of the courses his daughter was taking at Smith College. "You'll like this," he said. Among the subjects was "Global Climate Change in the Past, Present and Future." My friend underscored a point that Thomas Friedman makes early in "Hot, Flat, and Crowded." Green is in. The word was the single most trademarked ...             Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace . . . One School at a Time1268 reviews Greg Mortenson, David Oliver Relin Penguin (Non-Classics), 2007 Greg Mortenson brews a lesson for us all By now, Greg Mortenson is a household name in parts of the world where central heating and air conditioning, superhighways, high definition television, and PCs are virtually unknown to the average citizen. Three Cups of Tea is a masterfully written memoir of his experiences building schools and supporting the disenfranchised in Pakistan and Afghanistan--and much more. It is a call to arms for ...             A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose (Oprah's Book Club, Selection 61)1248 reviews Eckhart Tolle Penguin, 2008 The Truth Shall Set You Free!! This book is awesome. I first came across Eckhart Tolle because he wrote the introduction of another book I purchased. This book will give you a clear understanding of the ego, the habits of the mind that get us caught in routines that are the cause of much suffering, and this book will help you examine yourself. This book is easy to read, very easy to understand, and you will be saying "yes, ...             The Limits of Power: The End of American Exceptionalism32 reviews Andrew Bacevich Metropolitan Books, 2008 Bacevich Nails It! In this critique of American citizens, Bacevich takes a hard look at the citizenry's role in the current economic, political, and military crisis. The author is a retired colonel, which means I give a lot more credence to what he has to say. In fact, the gravitas between his advice and that of many others is a world apart. I was pleased to see that he believes our misguided strategies ...             The 29% Solution: 52 Weekly Ne Success Strategies33 reviews Ivan Misner, Michelle R. Donovan Greenleaf Book Group Press, 2008 If You Can Stick to the Program, You Will Win ! The author has written a great book that will help anyone who needs to add effective networking techniques to whatever they're already doing, in an organized weekly format. The challenge here at least for me, is committing to implementing these weekly gems for a year. Unless you're careful, this could become one of those books you've read, loved, and then put aside meaning to integrate the ...             The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality1191 reviews Jerome R. Corsi Threshold Editions, 2008 A great book in reaction to Obama's sugar-coated version of himself We've heard Obama sugar-coat many aspects of his life, from his account of not having ever practiced Islam (not true) to his minimizing of his relationship with Bill Ayers (the terrorist), this book uncovers the myths coming out of the Democratic nominee's camp. It is well-researched, even though the author is by his own admission a partisan who hopes Obama loses in November. If the truth ...             Money, and the Law of Attraction: Learning to Attract Wealth, Health, and Happiness48 reviews Esther Hicks, Jerry Hicks Hay House, 2008 Money and the Law of Attraction The better it gets, the better it gets! This is an amazing book that basically teaches us that the 'story' we tell about our own lives, is the 'story' that we are each individually LIVING! If we say and feel sick and tired, or that people take advantage of us, or if nothing is going the way we want it to.... then, that's exactly the self-imposed 'script' that we will play out! On ...             Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia1644 reviews Elizabeth Gilbert Penguin (Non-Classics), 2007 Most meaningful for kindred spirits When I finished this book I promptly kissed the cover, turned it over, and started reading it all over again. As another thirty-something woman who suffers from depression, longs to better understand my own Eastern religion, and craves how to find pleasure in life, Gilbert's emotional journey touched me and inspired me so directly that I was sobbing in gratitude for the special gift I felt I ...              search for books america, american, association, attraction, awakening, breaking, brisingr, everything, exceptionalism, guernsey, happiness, indonesia, inheritance, learning, literary, mission, personality, politics, promote, psychological, publication, revolution, sawtelle, selection, solution, standard, strategies, success, twilight, watchmen books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
