Thank you.             Who: The A Method for Hiring6 reviews Geoff Smart, Randy Street Ballantine Books, 2008 Insightful and Encouraging for Business Owners If you run a business in which there are employees other than yourself, then chances are that you've hired the wrong person a time or two. It can be a huge disappointment when that happens- a time consuming and costly one, and one that takes its toll on the employee as well as on the company. The authors reveals how to avoid the time and the upset by hiring the right person on the first go-round. ...             Wesley the Owl: The Remarkable Love Story of an Owl and His Girl29 reviews Stacey O'Brien Free Press, 2008 Inspiring Animal Story This book had me laughing and crying. I was facinated by the way the author made the factual circumstances of raising an owl interesting (it was hard to believe how many mice they eat, and how hard owl parents have it with their broods). You will not be able to put this one down if you love animal stories.             The End of America: Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot185 reviews Naomi Wolf Chelsea Green Publishing, 2007 Concise and compelling I thought I'd heard all I could of the political, military and social commentary of our time, but I gave this book a chance. What an excellent book, compelling, well-voiced and the most concise presentation of the socio-pilitical ills brought about by our current administration. Scary and provoking.             Be the Pack Leader: Use Cesar's Way to Transform Your Dog . . . and Your Life99 reviews Cesar Millan, Melissa Jo Peltier Three Rivers Press, 2008 Very insightful!

Relief from stomach distress and inflammation! I was recommended to this book from my naturopath. I have suffered almost three years with chronic stomach distress, inflammation, and all around random stomach aches. I always ate extremely healthy, unprocessed foods, worked out, etc but no doctor ever was able to heal my stomach. After hearing about the diet, I picked up every book D'adamo wrote and started my education. As an "A" type, ...             My Stroke of Insight: A Brain Scientist's Personal Journey109 reviews Jill Bolte Taylor Viking Adult, 2008 A top pick for both medical and general lending collections The author, a neuroanatomist affiliated with the Indiana University School of Medicine, narrates her own autobiography which tells how a 37-year-old brain scientist experienced a massive stroke from an aneurysm, observed her own extensive deterioration and recovery process, and came to understand the brain from more than a researcher's viewpoint. Her audio provides help and hope to any who would ...             The Way We Work1 review David Macaulay Houghton Mifflin/Walter Lorraine Books, 2008 Anatomy and Physiology in an easy to digest form. A nurses perspective. I am a nurse and also a student currently working on my masters. During the course of my degree I have of course had to learn anatomy (body structures) and physiology (body functions). The one thing that I have always had issue with was the way even my very expensive books for school seemed to lack in any really good illustrations. I am a visual learner and I really appreciate the clarity of a ...             Cesar's Way: The Natural, Everyday Guide to Understanding and Correcting Common Dog Problems680 reviews Cesar Millan, Melissa Jo Peltier Three Rivers Press, 2007 Must Have For All Dog Lovers Forget what you think you know about dogs and let Caesar teach you the proper way to interact with your canine friends.

Caesar sets us straight with Dog Psychology.             The Story of Edgar Sawtelle: A Novel (Oprah Book Club #62)466 reviews David Wroblewski Ecco, 2008 Loved it! This is an engrossing, well-written, thrilling, beautifully tender story of relationships between people and between people and dogs. My personal taste doesn't run to ghosts, so those parts weren't particularly compelling for me, but I still enjoyed the whole book. If you're a dog lover, the author's dog portrayals will really grab your heart; I was completely drawn in and felt luxuriously ...             Fish! A Remarkable Way to Boost Morale and Improve Results222 reviews Stephen C. Lundin, Harry Paul, ... Hyperion, 2000 Makes work fun Fish! is a great book that teaches you how to have fun at work and make your job into something you enjoy coming to each day. It tells the story of a woman who goes through a transformation to learn this very thing from an unlikely source: the fish mongers at a Seattle fish market. A cute story and helpful book that has been used effectively in my company. Another business fable I just came ...             This Is Your Brain on Music: The Science of a Human Obsession105 reviews Daniel J. Levitin Plume/Penguin, 2007 One of the best books you can find on the science of music! This book was found, as many of my great finds, on the shelves of a used-book store. The book has traveled around in my car with me as I go from school to my job as a voice teacher. It has been loaned out to music professors, and is now very well worn. I strongly recommend this book for musicians and music lovers alike. It is beautifully written in a way that nearly anyone can understand, ...             Yoga Anatomy64 reviews Leslie Kaminoff Human Kinetics Publishers, 2007 Great Very Revealing for those with trouble with one or two poses. You can really see where your muscles move.             The Numerati15 reviews Stephen Baker Houghton Mifflin, 2008 By the Numbers Reading Baker's well-written and insightful book dispels any notion that numeracy is not necessary to fathom the 21st century.             The Art of Seduction234 reviews Robert Greene Penguin (Non-Classics), 2003 Psychological nuclear energy As its more tangible counterpart, this information can destroy or sustain. From one standpoint I am just glad to have a pretty well organized blueprint of human actions: a lens through which I can categorize things I see. Personally, I intend to take it no further than to add some spice to certain relationships (and to wary myself against manipulative behavior): a pretty narrow application, I ...             The World Without Us241 reviews Alan Weisman Picador, 2008 Great Book One other person wrote that this book is fascinating but depressing and that is why he/she chose to give it less than 5 stars. I beg to differ, one of the reasons why I gave it 5 stars is because it was depressing. It caused me a lot of anguish reading how much we have damaged this planet and how part of this damage will take 1000s of years to go away. I guess that would have been part of the ...             Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain46 reviews John J.

He coauthored the book, "Driven to Distraction" with Ed Hallowell. His newest book is "Spark- The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain." I found Spark a fascinating read. Ratey cites dozens of studies that span decades and continents. All point to the same conclusion: exercise, and aerobic exercise ...             Atlas of Human Anatomy: With Netteranatomy.com (Netter Basic Science)124 reviews Frank H.

Elson Benjamin Cummings, 2001 Anatomy Coloring Book I purchased both this and the Physiology Coloring Book and they are great! Not only does coloring in the images reinforce what I'm studying, but the text portion (explanations) are added bonuses. I highly recommend both.              search for books achieving, coloring, correcting, everyday, exercise, frontiers, healthy, individualized, insight, journey, natural, netteranatomy, numerati, obsession, personal, problems, remarkable, results, revolutionary, sawtelle, science, scientist, seduction, silberman, solution, staying, strength, training, transform, understanding books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
