Levitt Benbella Books, 2007 Doctors Learn From Their Patients In this book, two neurologists recall memorable cases in their practices and events in their personal lives where their patients taught them valuable lessons about life. The stories reveal very human and humorous aspects of these eminent physicians' personalities. Some of the accounts are sad, others almost incredible, and still others will have you chuckling and shaking your head. In many ...             The Red Rose Girls : An Uncommon Story of Art and Love14 reviews Alice A. Carter Harry N. Abrams, 2002 An Amazing Achievement It was some months ago when I discovered and read Ms. Carter's lush tale of four intertwined lives. I still remember the regret and exhiliaration I felt on turning the final page. Not wanting a story to end is perhaps among the higher compliments I would pay to a book, and usually one relegated to a rare work of fiction. In fact, prior to Red Rose Girls, Donna Tartt's masterpiece, The Secret ...             A Journey of One's Own (Second Edition): Uncommon Advice for the Independent Woman Traveler15 reviews Thalia Zepatos The Eighth Mountain Press, 2000 Fantastic preparatory travel book! This is a wonderful resource. As I read it, I always had a pen in hand, taking notes. I have a plethora of websites, notes, and good tips to take into consideration when planning my three-month trip. She helps you ponder each decision carefully, whether it is to travel solo or with others, where to stay, travel lessons, safety, how to pack light, and traveling for a long period of time. Even ...             An Uncommon Friendship: From Opposite Sides of the Holocaust22 reviews Bernat Rosner, Frederic C. Tubach University of California Press, 2001 A vey moving historical book that everyone should read I was very impressed with this book; for such a difficult subject it was beautifully written. I have been to the Holocaust Museum in Israel, and though the documentation there is quite graphic and disturbing, the voice of the child in Bernie, and the voice of the child on the other side in Fritz, completes a picture that is enlightening, but reveals a picture that no one wants to believe. It ...             Counterintuitive Marketing: Achieve Great Results Using Uncommon Sense14 reviews Kevin J. Clancy, Peter C. Krieg, 2000 Great content and practical advice I just read Clancy and Krieg's Counterintuitive Marketing and it was amazing. Loaded with content, solid research and practical advice. It teaches stuff about marketing I never learned in my NYU MBA program. I strongly recommend it. Then I read the screed (AKA review) by "Chanali from Asia." Who is this guy and has he worked for even a day in the real world?             Uncommon Friends: Life with Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Harvey Firestone, Alexis Carrel and Charles Lindbergh13 reviews James Newton Harcourt, 1987 A Truly Fascinating Book on the Lives of a Five Twentieth Ce This book originally caught my eye as an addition to another book I read called Edison: A Life of Invention by Paul Israel. I wanted a book that would cover a little more of Edison's personal life, and this book did just that. However, James Newton's close, dedicated friendships with all of these great men of the twentieth century is truly amazing, and I learned more than I would probably learn ...             True Honor (Uncommon Heroes Series #3)17 reviews Dee Henderson Walker Books, 2005 Wonderful as Usual! I enjoy reading but believe there are too many good Christian writers out there to read much of the secular trash today. I used to think it was safe to go to my church library to get good reading material--WRONG!! They are interested in getting best sellers, etc. I enjoy a good novel that keeps my interest without the foul language, the sleeping around, etc. Don't get me wrong-- sometimes ...             True Devotion (Uncommon Heroes Series #1)40 reviews Dee Henderson Thorndike Press, 2004 An Intriguing Book Without Garbage Dee Henderson has once again written a fascinating book. It is well written, absorbing, and fast-paced, yet contains none of the lurid details less skilled authors use to attract readers. It realistically shows the struggles Christians face when dealing with adversity.             The Stained Glass Pickup: Glimpses of God's Uncommon Wisdom16 reviews Cathy Messecar Leafwood Publishers, 2006 Great Stories, Great Insights Cathy does an outstanding job of seeing God working in the everyday. Whether it is family, friends, or fun, God can be found at work. Cathy is like a skilled examiner who puts the day-to-day under a microscope to help us see what may not be visible to the untrained eye. Buy a copy, get some coffee, and enjoy.             Dog Man: An Uncommon Life on a Faraway Mountain16 reviews Martha Sherrill Tantor Media, 2008 Excellent book! This book is a great book for a Akita owner. The author gives you lots of insight into the Akita behavior. Being a Akita owner, I found the book enlightening and a joy to read. This book is a must for any Akita owner or anyone considering a Akita.             The Animal Dialogues: Uncommon Encounters in the Wild10 reviews Craig Childs Back Bay Books, 2009 Excellent personal account I have greatly enjoyed reading this naturalist's account of personal encounters he has had with animals in the wild. He demonstrates a respect, as well as a healthy fear, of the big predators such as mountain lions, bears, and jaguars. Intertwined with the adventures, Craig Childs provides details and meaningful information on creatures as diverse as mosquitos and Blue Sharks. It is a personal ...             The Uncommon Gourmet's All-Occasion Cookbook9 reviews Ellen Helman Font & Center Press, 1996 Why on earth is this out of print??? This book is elegant, simple (to the point of being foolproof), and full of variety. It's one of my very favorite cookbooks. I wanted to send it to a friend as a present, and I was astounded to find that it's unavailable, because it deserves to be a best seller! I hope it comes back soon.             Uncommon Genius12 reviews Denise Shekerjian Viking Adult, 1990 The How is in the Doing "How are creative people able to look at the same thing as everybody else but see something different?" Denise Shekerjian relying on interviews with forty MacArthur Foundation Fellowship winners tries to answer this in "Uncommon Genius." The Fellows, all having demonstrated creative genius across a variety of pursuits, provide a glimpse inside their own experience with the creative process. ...             No Ordinary Home: The Uncommon Art of Christ-Centered Homemaking10 reviews Carol Brazo Multnomah Books, 1995 Great writing, great book! I read this book accidentally, like many of the other reviewers, after I found it on my shelf (I picked it up at a clearance sale a few months ago). I was pleasantly surprised at Brazo's open journal and intelligent and humorous writing style. This book is inspiring on many levels, as a journal from a worn-out mother of three to God, as the quest of a woman to sanctify her home as the dwelling ...             The Uncommon Woman: Making an Ordinary Life Extraordinary12 reviews Susie Larson Moody Publishers, 2008 An Uncommon Book Susie's book is gently honest. She pushes women to rise above "ordinariness" and to make uncommon choices. Her chapter titled "choose prayer over pettiness" was particularly insightful and meaningful to me. It has changed the way I relate to women, but even more than that, it's changed my heart towards them. I'm glad I've read this book and highly recommend it!             The Urban Tree Book: An Uncommon Field Guide for City and Town10 reviews Arthur Plotnik, 2008 A budding Peattie? When after all those rave reviews I bought a copy I was slightly dissappointed. This is an unassuming paperback. There are books on trees you buy for the illustrations: this is not one of them. The illustrations are nice, even tasteful (although I assume they would look a lot better in color) but are nothing more than just that, an illustration of the text. However, when actually reading in the ...             The Uncommon Gourmet12 reviews Ellen Helman Font & Center Pr, 1990 Fabulous cookbook with loads of easy to make, elegant dishes I love to cook and own many classic cookbooks, but there is none that I use more frequently than this one. The recipes are uncomplicated, yet delicious, and are suitable for both entertaining and every day meals. Unfortunately, after several years of continuous use, my book is falling apart! I hope the publisher reprints it soon, so that I can purchase a couple of spare copies!             Uncommon Sense: The Real American Manifesto13 reviews William James Murray Global Insights Publications, 1994 An uncomprimising look at liberty. This is one of the single greatest books that I have ever had the privelage of reading. The writer describes in clear and concise terms the price of liberty, how we won it, and how we are losing it. You wont find this information in any government school or college. Delightfully this book is an easy read. The author wrote this book with the common man in mind. Splendidly I tore through this ...             Drive Yourself Sane : Using the Uncommon Sense of General Semantics, Revised Second Edition9 reviews Susan Presby Kodish, Bruce I. Kodish Extensional Pub, 2000 Thank You S&S I first read S&S in my late teens while in college probably in 1960. I truly believe that it kept me sane during that decade. Thank you S&S for helping to save me from abandoning myself to profound confusion. Thank you S&S for helping me to question the events of that period by applying reason and the principles revealed to me by Korzibsky. When I was drafted into the military in 1968 I realized ...             Uncommon Sense9 reviews iUniverse, 2001 Buy This Novel and Save It For eBay!!! I was an enthusiastic reader of the rough draft of this novel. I do not tend to be charitable about reading the unpublished efforts of others...but this time I was won over on page one! I am so lucky to be an early fan. The hallmark of this author's writing has to be her zinger opening scenes - wild but somehow utterly plausible. As for the rest of the story - the pace never flags.
