If you're not, you need to read this book! The passionate Marriage is an excellent book written in a personable manner with excellent anecdotes that demonstrate the concepts the writer is explaining. Reading this book helped me recognize where I wasn't differentiated and where I needed to do some serious internal work to help myself. It's also helped my marriage a lot, in terms of how my wife and ...             The Number Devil: A Mathematical Adventure70 reviews Hans Magnus Enzensberger Holt Paperbacks, 2000 Outstanding book for all ages I purchased this book at a college book store. I think it was there because it was required reading for math education majors. It also might have been a book for elementary teachers that were taking a math methods course. Regardless of why it was there, I purchased it and read it. It was a fun and interesting look at lots of different math topics. My son has enjoyed this book since he ...             Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America1075 reviews Barbara Ehrenreich Holt Paperbacks, 2002 Great bookseller Gave the book as a gift...didn't read it but the reviews on it are great.

I hope others read this and it effects some change. I wasn't expecting a state of the radio review but it fits and can affect communities. Highly recommended.             This I Believe: The Personal Philosophies of Remarkable Men and Women41 reviews Holt Paperbacks, 2007 Excellent resource for English teachers I reguarly listen to the radio series on NPR, and I teach English composition at a community college. Recently, I decided to have my students write their own "This I Believe" essays. Though I originally bought the book (and had my students buy copies) so that I could assign weekly readings from it, I have gotten a great deal of personal enjoyment from reading the essays myself, even the ones I ...             Organizing from the Inside Out, second edition: The Foolproof System For Organizing Your Home, Your Office ...167 reviews Julie Morgenstern Holt Paperbacks, 2004 A Refreshing Approach to Organizing Julie Morgenstern's "Organizing from the Inside Out" is such a fantastic and valuable book. Her approach to organizing, as the title suggests, is whatever you are organizing -- your work/family schedule, your office, your kitchen, or your basement -- needs to reflect you: what's important to you, who you are and your value and logic system. I found it so refreshing and exciting how the focus in ...             Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers, Third Edition42 reviews Robert M. Sapolsky Holt Paperbacks, 2004 Excellent, well written book I will admit that it can be a bit technical for a few folks. His book makes you feel that he is teaching you in a classroom. The citations and references are informative.             What Was Lost: A Novel3 reviews Catherine O'Flynn Holt Paperbacks, 2008 Much more than a suburban thriller - a breath of fresh air ! Reading Catherine O'Flynn's debut novel "What Was Lost (WWL)" was a like a breath of fresh air coming after all those much lauded but grossly disappointing titles like last year's Booker prize winner. O'Flynn may be new to the game but she understands the essentials of good writing and what it takes to captivate and hold the reader's attention. To me, WWL isn't so much a social commentary on ...             Getting the Love You Want: A Guide for Couples, 20th Anniversary Edition119 reviews Holt Paperbacks, 2007 Repairing Your Relationship (and Your Childhood) Before counselor Harville Hendrix, Ph.D. teaches you how to improve your relationship, he asks you to think about why you were attracted to your partner in the first place. The answer, he explains, is that you were looking for a mate who possesses the same basic qualities as your parents. Why? Because people subconsciously seek relationships with those who will exorcise their childhood pain. ...             Writing Your Dissertation in Fifteen Minutes a Day: A Guide to Starting, Revising, and Finishing Your ...61 reviews Joan Bolker Holt Paperbacks, 1998 Based on our students' reviews I give this book as a gift to each of my new PhD students because my experience is that the students simply don't understand the process. I came upon it a couple years ago, and the feedback from the students has been overwhelmingly positive. I haven't personally read it, but the students (who, after all, are the ones it is aimed at), recommend it highly.             Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets60 reviews David Simon Holt Paperbacks, 2006 Well written and very accessible, highly recommended I read this book after watching - several times over - David Simon's most recent work, The Wire. I have always been interested in detectives and was drawn by this book because it is non-fiction. As well as being a highly enjoyable read, I would say there were three main takeaways. First, the detailed first-hand account of actual cases and methods of investigation (including related disciplines ...             Emotions Revealed, Second Edition: Recognizing Faces and Feelings to Improve Communication and Emotional Life1 review Paul Ekman Holt Paperbacks, 2007 Just enough to make you dangerous This book is very well written. It's not a difficult read, and it's packed with content. At the end of each chapter, the author provides a brief description of how to detect emotions in others and be aware of them in yourself. I bought it for more of the former function, but can now see the utility of being more self-aware.             Grammar Girl's Quick and Dirty Tips for Better Writing Mignon Fogarty Holt Paperbacks, 2008 Online sensation Grammar Girl makes grammar fun and easy in her print debut Are you stumped by split infinitives? Terrified of using “who” when a “whom” is called for? Do you avoid the words “lay” and “lie” altogether? Grammar Girl is here to help! Mignon Fogarty, a.k.a. Grammar Girl, is determined to wipe out bad grammar—but she’s also determined to make the process as painless ...             A Peace to End All Peace: The Fall of the Ottoman Empire and the Creation of the Modern Middle East115 reviews David Fromkin Holt Paperbacks, 2001 ... and the foundation for Endless War. Fromkin's seminal work is now almost 20 years old, and it is still the essential history book on the bungled making of the modern Middle East. Like another reviewer, I would gladly have given this a 6-star rating if it were possible. So much today remains the very same, save for the change from one imperial power to another. Consider from the Introduction: "The European powers at that time ...             Everything Is Miscellaneous: The Power of the New Digital Disorder22 reviews David Weinberger Holt Paperbacks, 2008 Essential reading for researchers in text mining and categorization As someone involved in Web mining research and education, I have read Weinberger's "everything is miscellaneous" with a different perspective than most other reviewers. I consider this book essential reading for researchers in text mining and categorization because Weinberger points toward what could very well be the future of organization. This means that all our existing data mining-based ...             An Army at Dawn: The War in North Africa, 1942-1943, Volume One of the Liberation Trilogy (The Liberation ...145 reviews Rick Atkinson Holt Paperbacks, 2007 Incredible research, scholarship and writing I remember World War II as a kid on the home front. This book is an absolute masterpiece. The Notes alone are worth reading in their entirety. The author cites personal interviews, correspondence, and even Box numbers from little known Army archives. His mastery of "the telling detail" is superb. I was brought to the book recently by watching an interview of Prof. Gordon Wood, whose work I ...             Dr. Tatiana's Sex Advice to All Creation: The Definitive Guide to the Evolutionary Biology of Sex32 reviews Olivia Judson Holt Paperbacks, 2003 Provocative This was just fun to read. And it taught so much. This is a textbook that you gobble up- a rare find indeed. Well, in truth, one can handle only so much sex at one time- the book is excellent, but in small doses. It has provocative imagery, and is jam-packed with both information and theory, requiring a lot of deep thought and contemplation. Judson has the capacity to turn your world ...             Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee: An Indian History of the American West166 reviews Dee Brown Holt Paperbacks, 2001 Amazing Makes me ashamed of what my people did. Why this book is not required reading for high school students is a tragic mystery. An entire section of American history that needs to be understood by all citizens.             The Copywriter's Handbook, Third Edition: A Step-By-Step Guide To Writing Copy That Sells53 reviews Robert W.
