The Easy Way to Stop Smoking: Join the Millions Who Have Become Non-Smokers Using Allen Carr's Easyway Method

It really works.
I smoked for over thirty-five years and after reading this book I stopped smoking cold turkey. I tried many times to quit but always failed, but for some reason that I cannot explain this book made me quit. It was like magic. I still had small cravings but I have not touched a cigarette since April 2006 (over 2 years). Now I don't crave them at all. My brother bought the book and he also quit, he ...

Ways of Seeing: Based on the BBC Television Series

A Foundation of the Post-modern
Even though "Ways of Seeing" is a flawed book in many ways, it is so seminal in the development of post-modern image making that it must be considered essential reading in critical theory. The book is based on a television series. The book itself is only 176 pages. The print is all in a bold, sans-serif font. The authors are quick to claim that the book was made, not written. The pictures ...

A must read
I loved this book. The author gives a very vivid description of his experiences in war. It was a big reminder of the consequences of war and terrorism. The last half of the book was a little slow and didnt keep my interest as much as the first half.

Be Afraid. Be Very Afraid.
As a corporate director I am very concerned about the direction our nation is heading particularly in the areas of trade deficits, loss of manufacturing, lack of immigration reform and our wrong-headed energy policies (using our corn for fuel; how stupid is this). But more than these concerns are the concerns for my family and the American way of life. I can live with an incompetent government ...

Waking Up to Your Life Again: A Brilliant Guide to Understanding Depression
I was actually led to seek out information on meditation as a treatment for depression through a book called Surviving America's Depression Epidemic by psychologist Bruce E. Levine. That book takes a highly insightful approach to investigating the sociological and personal genesis for depression and I credit it for saving me from succumbing to this condition. Afterwards, I bought "The Mindful Way ...

A very special tale
In Cedar Groove, Washington, Emily fears her husband Pastor Dave Flemming is having an affair. She is not sure who, but has found proof; Dave's jacket pocket contained another woman's earring and he comes home late at night, but will not tell her where he has been. If he is not committing adultery, Emily fears he is grave robbing. He spent a lot time with a dying congregation member giving ...

Very useful for homeschoolers too...
My children attended a public school where this program was used. When I brought them home due to their various LDs/allergies, I balked at the $40 price tag of this book and opted for the less expensive Spectrum Spelling books for their grade level. I found those to be rather annoying because often my children already knew the words. And the ones they didn't know, they would spell correctly on ...

Yes! This is a very practical and worthwhile read.
I have long used Dr. Cialdini's principles in my university lectures on persuasion, so I anticipated the release of this book with enthusiasm. I am not at all disappointed. Each chapter contains a proven principle, a specific research anecdote, then suggestions for using the principle in an applied setting. (mostly business settings, but there were even some parenting suggestions here!) I ...

To understand this company's success, first understand its DNA
I read this book when it was first published in 2004 and recently re-read it, curious to know how well Jeffrey Liker's explanation of Toyota's management principles and lean production values have held up. My conclusion? Very well. No good purpose would be served by merely listing the 14 management principles, out of context. Liker devotes a separate chapter to each, carefully explaining not ...

Great book on Trading
This book makes you think differently about trading stocks. It follows the approach of the Turtles, a straightforward and rigid method of systems trading. This is NOT a book about INVESTING in stocks but rather about short and medium term trading futures markets. This book would be helpful for anyone interested in learning how to or in advancing their skill in day trading, technical ...

Helpful for teaching spelling in a child-centered way
This book is helpful for offering a plan to teach spelling through word sorts. The steps are included, as are the words for each sort in an easy to copy format. I have found it useful after giving a whole class spelling assessment to teach small groups using these books. This allows me to better reach each child based on what she/he needs to be taught. I recommend this book along with others in ...

A Great Book!
I haven't actually read this book in many years but it was a favorite of mine as a child. I remember my mother reading it to me night after night after night and then taking a trip into Boston to see all of the places mentioned. It's a great story and the illustrations are beautiful. I now use it as a gift for new moms to read to their children.

Excellent, concise reference
Having used MLA for all of my past academic work, I was completely baffled by APA's rules and intricacies. This concise reference helped me overcome my anxiety in one evening. My scores on APA style have been perfect since buying this book. Highly recommended.

A Great Tool
This book is very helpful in meeting students' individual spelling needs. It's nice to have the lists prepared for you and short instructional summaries to bring yourself up to speed on word patterns--things you don't even realize you know! The book is well-organized and offers success for all.

Challenging, yet rewarding read
I had to read this book for my upper division journalism class this fall and found it to be one of the best books that we used in the course. The editors have tried to collect well-written, intelligent documentaries that challenge traditional connections between words and photographs. Included are Edward Said's inspiring piece about the Palestinian holocaust and exile, a piece by Roland ...
