books about: older     books:       Life Is So Good92 reviews George Dawson, Richard Glaubman Random House, 2000 This book is so good! This book is amazing. This is one of a handful of books that have, and will continue to change my life.             Swallows and Amazons54 reviews Arthur Ransome Red Fox, 1993 Enchanting and Realistic Enchanting It's hard to explain what makes this book so charming: The writing, the way the children and their relationships with each other are shown so clearly and believably, the very real adventures they have, the sense of place....but listing those traits doesn't do the book justice. It's also really funny in places! Ransome creates a world that is clearer and lighter and more enchanting ...             Adopting the Hurt Child: Hope for Families With Special-Needs Kids : A Guide for Parents and Professionals25 reviews Gregory C. Keck, Regina M. Kupecky Pinon Pr, 1995 I really like this book! This book was very helpful. It helped me even though I haven't ever adopted. It helped me understand hurting kids more. I will buy this book! I would like to adopt older kids when I'm married. Besides I have known several foster/adopted kids. It helped me understand them.             Somatics: Reawakening The Mind's Control Of Movement, Flexibility, And Health28 reviews Thomas Hanna Da Capo Press, 2004 Hanna Somatics is very beneficial... Hanna Somatics is very beneficial for all people. It really blows the "your just getting old" myth and is an easy method to feel better in your body at the same time as doing something to make it work better. It is easy reading and the pictures of the exercises at the end are helpful. However, the simplicity of the exercises does not translate well in the explanations, so it would be very ...             Salamandastron (Red Fox Older Fiction)136 reviews Brian Jacques Red Fox, 1994 Great! At one time, this was my favorite redwall book. It was also the first redwall book I read all of. In this book, the fearless badger lord Urthstripe the Strong leads his army of long patrol hares in a battle against the cruel Ferahgo the Assasin. Read this book, it's great!             Martin the Warrior: A Tale of Redwall (Red Fox Older Fiction)262 reviews Brian Jacques Red Fox, 1994 Swashbuckling legend Throughout the Redwall books Martin has always been not only the founder of Redwall but a veritable figure of legend. This book finally tells his story. Like the series, it's a grand ol' adventure. However, I felt this one packed the most emotion--I dare to call this a tragedy. If you can put up with that, this is a fantastic and passionate read.             Mattimeo214 reviews Brian Jacques Red Fox, 1994 EXCELLENT! 10/10! This is either the best or the second best Redwall book. It's the direct sequel to the Original Redwall, so there will be a lot of familier characters. Complete with 3 huge battles, a cruel monster that lurks in the dark, and an evil slaver named Slager, this book is ultimate, and I highly reccomend it!             Jane-Emily46 reviews Patricia Clapp William Morrow & Co, 1969 childhood classic read this when I was preteen, it's great and it bears re-reading as an adult. Scary, psychological drama. Lots of stuff for adults to chew on as well as kids, because of the dual (even triple) heroine structure: a child, a young woman, and a mature woman. Each character is fascinating, and so is the situation, the setting, the writing... what a great book. Now I want to read everything by ...             Mossflower299 reviews Brian Jacques RED FOX BOOKS (RAND), 1989 GREAT FOR ALL AGES!!!!! It is all you want in a good book.It has just the right amount of action, peril,valor,and humor. If you want a book that is good for everyone, you just found one!             The Complete Eldercare Planner : Where to Start, Questions to Ask, and How to Find Help54 reviews Joy Loverde Hyperion Books (Adult Trd Pap), 1997 Overwhelming Help in a crisis time of need 7-22-05 -- Recently I found myself along with 3 other siblings and spouses thrust into new uncharted waters in a totally new season of our lives. Suddenly and without any training we were and continue to this day having to take care of my aging parents. I for one will freely admit that as a child I was never trained, prepared, nor exceptionally gifted to undertake such a task. It is just not the ...             Out to Pasture15 reviews Effie Leland Wilder G K Hall & Co, 1997 I loved this book! I am no where near "Out To Pasture" but I found this novel to be delightful. This book has the oddest group of senior citizens you will ever run across. Filled with both serious and light situations this book will make you cry and then laugh. Effie Wilder teaches us that just because you are older your life is still full and the possibilities are endless. Way to go Effie!!             When I Was Older22 reviews Garret Freymann-Weyr Topeka Bindery, 2003 a Must Read For Young Adults When I was Older by Garret Freymann-Weyr is one of my favorite books. It is a fictional story about a Girl learning to cope her life. I loved this book, and i would recommend it to any teenage girl. It is a must read. Sophie is a 13 year old girl growing up in the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Her brother died when she was very young, and She doesnt take it well. She still can't talk about ...             Doing Nothing is NOT an Option!: Facing the Imminent Labor Crisis16 reviews Robert K. Critchley South-Western Educational Pub, 2004 Insightful and Solution Orientated As an already-successful author (Rewired, Rehired, or Retired? Jossey-Bass/Pfeiffer 2002) and sought-after international speaker, Bob Critchley is eminently qualified to speak with authority on the labour market of the future. Whilst not alone in ringing the warning bells, Critchley has much more to offer than an alarmist message ... and he couldn't make it easier for us. He goes beyond ...             The Sky Unwashed15 reviews Irene Zabytko Algonquin Books, 2000 A small and brave masterpiece A short book, that can be read in one day, The Sky Unwashed is a highly important book in two respects. Foremost, this is one of the first full pictures we got about what really happened to the residents in the Chernobyl region and Kiev in April, 1986, albeit in fiction, but borne out now in articles and TV documentaries. Secondly, the lyrical beauty and masterful storytelling should elevate ...             Cycling Past 50 (Ageless Athlete Series)20 reviews Joe Friel Human Kinetics Publishers, 1998 Surprising I expected some discussion of problems people over 50 have keeping their weight down. There is almost no mention of weight or weight loss, except to say that losing weight slowly, as advised, consists of not eating the equivalent of a small piece of cake each day. A lot of the book is for people who want to do more aggressive cycling than I will likely do. Still, it pushes the rider to be more ...             Lilias! Yoga Gets Better with Age18 reviews Lilias Folan Rodale Books, 2005 Love and Light This book added so much to my love of yoga. Lilias has such a beautiful way of teaching and she is such a warm and understanding person. She has given me the gift of "love and light" in this wonderful book.             Eldercare for Dummies17 reviews Rachelle Zukerman For Dummies, 2003 How to Help when Help is Refused I made my holiday trip to the bookstore last week. I purchased a copy of Eldercare for Dummies, by Rachelle Zukerman, PhD. The book is packed with light humor and also great tips. I especially liked Chapter 2 with the section on how to help when help is refused.It's great.             The Pleasure Was Mine16 reviews Tommy Hays St. Martin's Press, 2005 A Wonderful Story of Undying Love We all probably know a Prate Marshbanks. He's a good person who thinks he's as tough as can be, but in reality he's a softie. Family comes first, not afraid of a day's work, intelligent but his greatest asset is common sense. We all know the type, and if by chance you don't, Tommy Hays creates this exact character in his book THE PLEASURE WAS MINE. THE PLEASURE WAS MINE tells the story of ...             Turning Silver into Gold: How to Profit in the New Boomer Marketplace15 reviews Mary Furlong FT Press, 2007 Outstanding Resource with great ideas I strongly recommend this book to anyone looking to get into the Boomer marketplace. Very easy to read, with excellent resources and ideas. Be ready to learn a great deal about a lucrative market.             In Praise of Older Women15 reviews Stephen Vizinczey Hamish Hamilton Ltd, 1985 Some Observations on In Praise of Older Women I have just read In Praise of Older Women for the second time. Many reviewers have drawn attention to the wisdom contained in this little book, which slyly presents itself as a breviary for young men without lovers. I am reluctant to insist on its status as "an erotic classic," for fear that to do so would confine it to a very narrow context. Indeed, the erotic scenes do not constitute the heart ...              search for books adopting, ageless, athlete, complete, cycling, dummies, eldercare, families, flexibility, imminent, jane-emily, marketplace, mattimeo, mossflower, movement, nothing, pasture, planner, pleasure, professionals, questions, reawakening, redwall, salamandastron, somatics, special, special-needs, swallows, unwashed, warrior books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
