Ratey Little, Brown and Company, 2008 The interdependence of mental, emotional, and physical health With Eric Hagerman, John Ratey has written a book in which he explains -- in layman's terms (to the extent that is possible) -- how physical exercise can "supercharge [provide a `spark' to] mental circuits to avoid or overcome stress, sharpen thinking, lift mood, increase memory...and much more." Obviously, these are all highly desirable results to achieve. Alas, many children as well as adults ...             Allergy-Free Gardening: The Revolutionary Guide to Healthy Landscaping30 reviews Thomas Leo Ogren Ten Speed Press, 2000 Changed the way I look at plants. Allergy-Free Gardening really did change the way I look at plants. I have a background in both horticulture and botany and yet there was so much new material that I learned from this book that I was frankly, amazed. I knew a bit about plant sex, but in retrospect, very little. In Thomas Ogren's eyes all plants are not created equally--or at least they certainly are not equally of value to us. In ...             Magic Tree House Collection: Books 17-24 (Unabridged)48 reviews Mary Pope Osborne audible.com Fantastic Titanic - Joe Third Grader Magic Tree House has done it again!!

Garfield35 reviews Kenneth D. Ackerman, Kenneth Ackerman Da Capo Press, 2003 Well done tale of political intrigue This is a fascinating look at a little known president in American history.

This convention was one of the most interesting in our history and shows how the freedom of delegates can result in a compromise that gives ...             On the Banks of Plum Creek (Little House)44 reviews Laura Ingalls Wilder HarperCollins, 1953 Pa Loves Ma, Ma Loves Pa, and All's Right With the World!

We -- my three homeschooled grandchildren and I -- are going through the Laura Ingalls Wilder series of books for the second time. We read them aloud during story time, and love every minute. These are books written ...             Constance26 reviews Patricia Clapp HarperTeen, 1991 A great book anyway . . . I read this long before I knew a key fact about Constance Hopkins, and I thought it was terrific. Of course, I still do. The tone of high spirits forced into apparent submission is perfect. I do think the cover illustration on the Beech Tree edition is awful; the cover on the Dell edition is far better. Key fact: she is my nine-times-great-grandmother. (Patricia Clapp, the author, is also ...             Time Enough for Drums133 reviews Ann Rinaldi Laurel Leaf, 2000 Great Book This is the best of all Ann Rinaldis books (I have read all of them).

Her-2 by Bazell and King is about breast cancer, however, it reveals many other interesting things about the drug industry and how progress is made in the medical research field. There are different stories and view points and the authors have succesfully managed to ...             Unwind23 reviews Neal Shusterman Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing, 2007 Shockingly Good Imagine life in the future.

This process, known as "unwinding" doesn't ...             Great Leaders See the Future First: Taking Your Organization to the Top in Five Revolutionary Steps22 reviews Carolyn Corbin Dearborn Trade, 2000 Vision and Street Smarts: A Winning Combination The title of this book should not be taken literally. What Corbin correctly suggests is that the most effective leaders are those who recognize, sooner than anyone else does, certain indicators of what often become emerging trends and perhaps even a new industry. Stated another way, they see the possible (perhaps probable) implications and consequences of events occurring now. I am reminded of ...             The Ideological Origins of the American Revolution26 reviews Bernard Bailyn Belknap Press, 1992 A spark in the study of the Revolution This is a book that all students of the American Revolution should be forced to read. Without understanding Bailyn's argument, that the "conspiracy against liberty" was the main reason why America decided to break away from the British Empire, a student will be forever lost in trying to understand the roots of the American Revolution. Almost all of the books on the outbreak of the American ...             Teen-Proofing: A Revolutionary Approach to Fostering Responsible Decision Making in Your Teenager22 reviews John Rosemond Andrews McMeel Publishing, 1998 Great Book for parents of pre-teens and teenagers This book is a must read for all parents of teenagers.

Do not be deterred by these reasons. I have treasured it, recommended it, and as a minister leant it out with great joy to people from all walks of life, rich and poor, highly literate and plain-spoken. It is one of those books that cuts through a lot of folderol and gets to the inmost heart, giving ...             The POWER Journal: Chronicles of a Revolutionary Black Woman in White America25 reviews Waset Golden Ankh Publishing / Collectiveworks, 2004 Oooooooh....
