Solve Your Child's Sleep Problems: New, Revised, and Expanded Edition
Richard Ferber
Fireside, 2006
Don't believe the naysayers
The sleep method in this book works! Our baby would only sleep in her swing comfortably, and she was getting a flat head, so we wanted to transfer her to her crib and have her sleep through the night. I was worried about using Ferber, since you hear such awful things ...

Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons
Siegfried Engelmann, Phyllis Haddox, ...
Fireside, 1986
Excellent Book
I found this book to be a very good way to help my son learn to read. It is also an excellent way for a father to bond with his child. Both my son and I enjoyed the time together. One thing the author does not address is that all children learn at different speeds ...

That quite possibly changed by life (not dramatically mind you but ...

Rob Neyer's Big Book of Baseball Legends: The Truth, the Lies, and Everything Else
Rob Neyer
Fireside, 2008
Very Entertaining Read -- Probably Neyer's Best Book
This is the third of Neyer's "Big Books" and, I think, the best. (His Big Book of Baseball Lineups and Big Book of Baseball Blunders are also quite good - as is his lesser known Feeding the Green Monster; The Neyer/James Guide to Pitchers is his one clinker.) In this ...

Chi Running/Walking
Both Chi Walking & Chi Running have helped me immensely. I no longer have knee pain when I run and walking has felt almost effortless. The body sensing and relaxation techniques have helped so much even if I feel little twinges since the twinges go away. I highly ...

Codependents' Guide to the Twelve Steps
Melody Beattie
Fireside, 1992
Help is on the Way
I was skeptical at first about reading a book on the steps. I wasn't sure if it could help me. I had attended a few meetings and thought I knew some of the concepts, but this book opened my eyes. I think that Melody Beattie is very personal and caring in the mind of a ...

Me to We: Finding Meaning in a Material World
Craig Kielburger, Marc Kielburger
Fireside, 2008
If I could give it more stars I would...
The Kielburgers have managed to do it yet again. This book certainly matches the quality of the others they have put out in the past. Though this book really is for everyone, it appeals to an adult population that may not have already been reached. I seldom purchase ...
