Entertaining and Educational
Probably the title says it all. I was absolutely "stuck" with this book--couldn't put it down! Every time I wanted to stop reading at the end of the page, I couldn't because something was happening and I had to go on! It was absolutely enthralling! The other interesting thing about it is that I learned so much about the culture and mindset of both sides in the crisis of the Middle East. ...

Masterful storytelling, full of surprises and shocks, unforgettable and unstoppable
It wasn't until I started reading Joel C. Rosenberg's books that I realized I had been using a cliché when I would say that "anything can happen" when describing the twists and turns a plot can take. That statement should be reserved almost exclusively for Rosenberg's novels, particularly DEAD HEAT, his latest work. I will tell you without reservation that anything can and does happen here, ...

Savage and funny
I have a taste for books that are both funny and intense, and for that reason this is perhaps my favorite of all Perry's books. Years ago, I read sections of it (the parts about Chinese Gordon, his friends, and their adventures) out loud to my then ten year old son. (I thought the other sections weren't suitable for a child, so I censored them.) He howled with laughter, and both of us were ...

Great collection of information on the aging process
Some celebrity once opined that growing old wasn't easy or something to that effect - and, obviously to those of us who are growing old, they were absolutely correct. Growing old just isn't a whole lot of fun. Drs. Roizen and Oz aren't necessarily trying to make the process of aging fun, but they do claim they can slow it down or, more appropriately, help you feel like you're not going ...
Hands Are Not for Hitting
32 reviews
Martine Agassi Ph.D.
Free Spirit Publishing
, 2000
Good repetition
Repetition is a good tool for teaching kids to remember important lessons. This book does a good job of repeating that hands are not for hitting, and also suggests what hands ARE good for (holding hands to cross the street, etc.). My 4 year old loves this series of books and we refer to the text often in conversation with her to remind her of the important lessons.

Excellent primer for the emerging field of social businesses
As someone in the midst of trying to make a small business run within the lines of corporate social responsibility, I've really wrestled with the inherent problems with the whole "triple-bottom-line" movement. Primarily, I've wrestled with how one chooses which of the many bottom lines as they compete over and against each other. Yunus tackles this issue head on with his idea of the "social ...

This book not only confims that, but helps you understand why you get them (even if you are like me and thought you already knew everything there was to know)and who in your family you probably inherited this little gift from! After ...

I proved to myself that it really does work
I noticed some deterioration in my teeth last year, so I started searching online to find out whether anyone knew anything about healing teeth. I found Rami's website and decided to buy his book. Although I had heard of Weston Price and Nourishing Traditions before, it was through Rami's book that I really came face to face with that information. It made a lot of sense to me. Especially ...

A Must-Read
Elizabeth Pisani's The Wisdom of Whores - Bureaucrats, Brothels and the Business of AIDS is a great book (along with a great website). Elizabeth Pisani is an epidemiologist with years of experience working on HIV/AIDS (or sex and drugs, as she puts, which sounds a lot, well, sexier) at a variety of agencies, including UNAIDS. The book is the story of her frustrations at the way the international ...
