Living and Dying with Grace: Counsels of Hadrat Ali by Thomas Cleary | (9 reviews) | ||
![]() Label: Shambhala, 120 pages *Amazon Bestseller - Paperback |
Most Helpful Review (13 of 13 people found this helpful) | A book for all seasonsThough much of what the book has to offer, are sayings, it serves as an introduction to what Hadrat Ali's work, Nahj al Balaghah has to offer. It is an important contribution to the genre of Islamic literature, though it has been ignored by the muslims at large, Cleary's efforts are directed as an 'introduction' to a personality that is revered by those who seek the esoteric aspect of Islam: in essense 'Islamic Spirituality'. I would urge the readers to read the compilation of the sermons and letters of Hadrat 'Ali, titled Nahj al Balaghah, available in English, titled Peak of Eloquence, published by Tehrike Tersile Quran, Elmhurst, New York. -- Ali Abbas |

![]() Label: Tan Books, 794 pages *Amazon Hot New Release - Paperback |
Most Helpful Review (45 of 46 people found this helpful) | Views the Life of Mary and Jesus from God's PerspectiveThis book has all the answers to the questions that Catholics have had pass through their minds about the life of Christ and the Holy family during the 33 years that Jesus lived here on earth.Miracles that preceded Cana are explained. It also has God the father's views of why he formed man and the universe. The Father explains to the author what happened in the sequences from the creation of the heavens and angelic beings, to the creation of the earth and man in God's image. His ideas of what he wanted to do to redeem man and the creation of the physical beings of Mary and Jesus to do this. It explains the workings of the demon angels and what their part was in the life of Christ. It is a facinating account of our world from the Fat (Read More |

Watchmen: The Art of the Film by Peter Aperlo | (4 reviews) | ||
![]() Label: Titan Books, 256 pages *Amazon Hot New Release - Hardcover |
Most Helpful Review (19 of 19 people found this helpful) | Packed with art and lots of great set photosWatch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1SWU44MOP3NCJ Peter Aperlo, the author, has included a lot more visual content other than art illustrations in the book, all packing in to make it a rather thick book at 256 pages. It's well constructed and bind. Pages are thick low gloss with good colour reproduction. There are five chapters in the book, namely Concept Art, Sets, Props, Owlship, Costumes and Posters. All pretty self explanatory. First off, the art. These come in the form of character designs, storyboards (cute but not detailed) and beat board illustrations. There isn't as much art as I expected, the art in this book is seriously overwhelmed by (Read More |

Mind Programming: From Persuasion and Brainwashing, to Self-Help and Practical Metaphysics by Eldon Taylor | (11 reviews) | ||
![]() Label: Hay House, 360 pages *Amazon Hot New Release - Hardcover |
Most Helpful Review (26 of 26 people found this helpful) | One of the most courageous exposes of our timeEven though I consider myself to be quite aware of what is going on in the world, this book boldly shatters illusions about how extensive the mind control in our society has become. Eldon Taylor gives specific and documented examples of the deliberate and aggressive ploys to control our behavior and our minds. Are you really free? Only if you can take back control your mind. Thank heavens, Dr. Taylor shows us how in one of the most important books I have ever read.. |

The World of Pooh: The Complete Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner (Pooh Original Edition) by A. A. Milne | (19 reviews) | ||
![]() Label: Dutton Juvenile, 314 pages *Amazon Bestseller - Hardcover |
Most Helpful Review (34 of 38 people found this helpful) | Great for kids and adults. Because it's *that* sort of book.I first read Pooh as a child, when my days were spent doing Nothing. It was a good book then, which I really enjoyed. But I don't do Nothing anymore. Well, not so much. They don't let you. Now my life more often resembles going around and around the tree looking vainly for Woozles, or going bump, bump, bump down the stairs, thinking that there must be a better way, if only I could stop bumping long enough to think of it. Reading Pooh is how I stop bumping. I need to be reminded that spelling isn't everything - that there are some days when spelling Tuesday simply doesn't count. Pooh and Piglet are wondering where you've been. Eeyore told them that you're not coming back. "They've forgotten," said Eeyore. "Typical," said (Read More |

Lovingkindness: The Revolutionary Art of Happiness by Sharon Salzberg & Jon Kabat-Zinn | (24 reviews) | ||
![]() Label: Shambhala, 264 pages *Amazon Bestseller - Mass Market Paperback |
Most Helpful Review (89 of 90 people found this helpful) | very nice metta-meditation instructionI am not a Buddhist, but I've practiced insight (vipassana) meditation for several years. I was curious about lovingkindess (metta) meditation, which I'd heard of when I was in Burma, although as a beginner, I chose to stick to insight meditation. Somehow I thought this book would be the best introduction to me, and I ordered it. But let me confess, at first I failed to appreciate it. I read about 20 pages, I was bored, and I put the book down for about 8 months. That's fine, insight meditation never hurt anyone. I don't remember why I was initially so bored by the book. Perhaps it was because of her conversational style, full of stories from her own or her friends' experiences. Most people like that kind of thing, (Read More |

Clean Cartoonists' Dirty Drawings by Craig Yoe | (5 reviews) | ||
![]() Label: Last Gasp, 160 pages *Amazon Bestseller - Paperback |
Most Helpful Review (26 of 28 people found this helpful) | A lot of fun and just a tiny bit naughtyI'd been waiting for this book for a long time, reading about it on the web site, and anticipating it anxiously. I wasn't disappointed. It's a tricky topic and I can see how it could easily have been mishandled. Make it too dirty and people are offended. Make it too clean and they're disappointed. I think Craig has achieve the perfect balance of showing the work of familiar cartoonists whom we know from the funny pages and the comic books, and giving us just a peek at what they draw for themselves in their private moments. Art schools are full of nude models in life drawing classes, so it should come as no surprise that most artists have drawn an unclad female at one time or another. The fun is in seeing drawings (Read More |

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz: A Commemorative Pop-up by L. Frank Baum | (127 reviews) | ||
![]() Label: Little Simon, 16 pages *Amazon Bestseller - Hardcover |
Most Helpful Review (28 of 28 people found this helpful) | Spectacular Pop-Ups Illustrate A Timeless Classic!Robert Sabuda is one of my favorite illustrators and certainly the most renowned pop-up book artist and paper engineer working today. Combine Sabuda's entrancing three dimensional illustrations with Frank Baum's glorious story about Dorothy, the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow, Cowardly Lion, Toto and their amazing adventures in the Land of Oz and you have pure magic! The pop-up illustrations are quite intricate, with artwork that's faithful to W. W. Denslow's original illustrations. Sabuda works in a fresh, new style here using prints made from cut linoleum blocks. He brings the drawings to life in a way that will enchant children and adults alike. Each page contains a large pop-up and a small booklet which tells part of the story. And each (Read More |

Meditations for Relaxation and Stress Reduction by Joan Borysenko Ph.D. | (5 reviews) | ||
![]() Label: Hay House *Amazon Bestseller - Audio CD |
Most Helpful Review (25 of 27 people found this helpful) | Highly recommended!I highly recommend this audio tape to people who are trying to incorporate meditation into their lives. Dr. Borysenko has a very soothing voice and the exercises are effective. I think this tape may be especially appealing to women; there is some content that I know some men may find corny. However, I found the both the breathing exercises and the stretching to be relaxing and very beneficial. |

Good Night, Gorilla by Peggy Rathmann | (127 reviews) | ||
![]() Label: Putnam Juvenile, 40 pages *Amazon Bestseller - Paperback |
Most Helpful Review (53 of 54 people found this helpful) | You'll Treasure this Book!This book was read at a mixed-age party and I'm sure that the adults laughed as much as the children! It has quickly become a classic, featuring the cleverly pictured sneaky antics of a renegade gorilla. Our young hero steals the keys from a zookeeper and frees all the animals, who follow the keeper home at night. Hilarious "lights out" confusion ensues with a comical surprise ending! 34 pages, with only ten different words, the expressive, colorful pictures say it all. This playful book is appropriate for infants, toddlers, and the beginning reader as well. A delightful romp, and a surefire hit! One of those few treasured books that you'll keep for years to come. |

A Reason for Handwriting: Manuscript A by Carol Ann Retzer & Eva Hoshino | (3 reviews) | ||
![]() Label: Concerned Communications, 160 pages *Amazon Bestseller - Paperback |
Most Helpful Review (17 of 17 people found this helpful) | motivating curriculum!My first-grade daughter enjoys this curriculum. Each week focuses on one Scripture verse, most often from Psalms or Proverbs. The student traces then copies a few words on each of the first three days of the week. On the fourth day, the student writes the entire verse on practice paper. The last day of the week, the student gets to choose a special "border sheet" on which they will write the verse and color the pictures. They are encouraged to do their best work and can give the border sheet away. My daughter wakes up on Friday and says, "It's border sheet day!" You can use this curriculum in conjunction with A Reason for Spelling, as the verse for each week is the same. We will be continuing with the next level of this curriculum for secon (Read More |

Patterns of the Hypnotic Techniques of Milton H. Erickson, M.D by Richard Bandler & John Grinder | (28 reviews) | ||
![]() Label: Grinder, DeLozier & Associates., 284 pages *Amazon Bestseller - Paperback |
Most Helpful Review (151 of 156 people found this helpful) | A classic on the linguistic techniqes of Milton EricksonThis book (Volume I) is worth reading by anyone interested in hypnosis. The authors present the major linguistic techniques that Erickson used to induce and maintain hypnosis, as well as his methods of doing hypnotherapy. They approach Erickson from the discipline of linguistics, so the reading is a bit technical at times, but perfectly understandable if you stick with it. They review the same material many times to make it very clear to the reader. I wish there were an accompanying audiotape of Erickson so that the reader could hear the analogical markings that Erickson uses with his speech to clients. Anyone seriously interested in Erickson's approach to hypnosis should read this book. Volume II is nearly incomprehensive to someone w (Read More |

Gabon, Sao Tome & Principe: The Bradt Travel Guide by Sophie Warne | (2 reviews) | ||
![]() Label: Bradt Travel Guides, 264 pages *Amazon Bestseller - Paperback |
Most Helpful Review (15 of 15 people found this helpful) | A must have for visitors to Gabon!I reside in Libreville, Gabon and have not, until now, been able to find much literature about this place in English ... or French for that matter. Then this little gem was published! I take this little book with me everywhere I go, I make a point of consulting it before I plan a trip, ... where to eat in Cocobeach, where to stay in Nyonie, where to shop in Libreville ... it's all in there. I found a couple of phone numbers misprinted, but aside from that, the information on each of the places I have been to is up to date, useful and correct. This book tells it like it is, the good, the bad and the ugly! I highly recommend it to anyone thinking of visiting or living in Gabon. |

Guardian of the Trust (Merlin's Descendants #2) by Irene Radford | (4 reviews) | ||
![]() Label: DAW, 560 pages *Amazon Bestseller - Paperback |
Most Helpful Review (21 of 21 people found this helpful) | Fantastic combo of historical fantasy & romanceMany believe darkness engulfs England due to the capricious, ironhanded leadership of the monarch. The Barons hate King John, who they blame for the Church Interdict that robs them of the grace of God. Neither John nor the Barons realize that an older force exists. John's half brother Radburn Blakely has the blood of Trylith, Demon of Chaos, running through his veins. Blakely plans to wrest control of England from his sibling and the Barons. Other powers exist that run counter to Blakely's plan. Resmiranda Griffin descends from Arthur and Merlin, which gives her the power of the former and the magic of the latter. She is the Pendragon and the only living wielder of Excalibur. Blakely knows he must obtain her cooperation or exter (Read More |

![]() Label: Avalon Travel Publishing, 400 pages *Amazon Bestseller - Paperback |
Most Helpful Review (64 of 64 people found this helpful) | Worth the money!I bought both this book and "Inside America" (theother book that Amazon lists...I reviewed that too..don't bother withit!). This book is really nice. It was so well thought out: 1. There are color pictures of what you would see in some of the factories. 2. It tells you whether you actually get to TOUR the factory or whether you will be looking through a window or a watching a video. 3. Tells whether you get freebies. 4. At first I was disappointed because there were so few entries for CT and NJ but when I read the beginning of the book they explained EXACTLY the reason for some states having so few and how they picked the tours for the book. 5. Each tour has like 4-5 paragraphs dedicated to describing it. 6. Tells cost. 7. Tells you (Read More |

The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs! by Jon Scieszka | (127 reviews) | ||
![]() Label: Viking Juvenile, 32 pages *Amazon Bestseller - Hardcover |
Most Helpful Review (14 of 14 people found this helpful) | What a blast to read this one aloud!!Sure it's a good way to get your youngsters to start to think about the possibility that there is more than one "side" to a story, but that would just make this book sound "educational" and where would be the fun in THAT!? This book is a delightful story that lends itself to ridiculous levels of "hamming" things up when reading it aloud. Poor, poor wolf with the terrible cold that just needs to bake a cake for his dear old granny. Even my oldest child (12 yob) sticks around to hear me read this "one more time" to my younger children. |

Bringing Nature Home: How Native Plants Sustain Wildlife in Our Gardens by Douglas W. Tallamy | (26 reviews) | ||
![]() Label: Timber Press, 288 pages *Amazon Bestseller - Hardcover |
Most Helpful Review (84 of 84 people found this helpful) | This book makes me stop and thinkI heard Douglas Tallamy speak at the Native Plants in the Landscape Conference at Millersville University (PA) last June, and I've been waiting for his book to be published by Timber Press. I'm a gardener, and I don't want to grow only native plants. But this book makes me stop and think. Douglas Tallamy makes the best case for use of native plants I've read. I recommend it without reservation. Simply put, the book's message is this. All life on earth, except for some recently discovered, relatively rare forms that take energy from volcanic vents in the ocean floor, depend on energy from the sun that plants convert into food through photosynthesis. Most of that solar energy is made available to higher life forms th (Read More |

The Hormonally Vulnerable Woman: Relief at last for PMS, mood swings, fatigue, hair loss, adult acne, unwanted hair, female pain, migraine, weight gain, ... all the problems of perimenopause by Geoffrey Redmond | (15 reviews) | ||
![]() Label: Collins Living, 480 pages *Amazon Bestseller - Hardcover |
Most Helpful Review (30 of 31 people found this helpful) | Finally, some sanity- !!Any woman who has arrived at the age where hormones begin to wreck havoc and alter the living of life needs to read this book; first to identify symptoms, and then for treatment plans. It's reader friendly, caring and sensible. Dr. Redmond had treated thousands of women successfully and understands how upsetting and devastating the conditions are. This book is aptly named, for it truly is vulnerability, a vulnerability which often times makes it's appearance at this time of our lives, namely 35-55. Where before our hormones were friendly, now they are hostile- hostile to hair, nerves, skin, emotions and relationships. Hostile to our future. If you want an ABC book, yet not compromise on the seriousness of the topic, have state of the a (Read More |
