Denise Fields, Ari Brown

Windsor Peak Press, 2007

A must have for new parents

Michio Kaku

Doubleday, 2008

Inspiring and Enlightening
Dr. Kaku presents another outstanding book to expand our minds to endless possibilities. Why limit ourselves when we need, more than ever, to think out of the box, and ask the big "what if" questions. In my own writing, vis-i-vis, The Ninth Cube, I have tried to answer ...

Wellness Central, 2008

Super "Average"
I wrote a quick review on another site. To make it short, this book will not disappoint. Whether you're an Athlete, Student, or Entrepreneur, you will find something between the covers for yourself. Just as good as the 50/50 Marathon Documentary (can't wait for the ...

W. W. Norton, 2005

Great for English class
This is a good book if you are taking an English class. It is divided into six sections- Rhetorical Situations, Genres, Processes, Strategies, Research/Documentation, and Media/Design. This book has really helped me in the Research section. I found this book really ...

Denise Fields

Windsor Peak Press, 2007

Awesome - Essential
I bought this on recommendation from my dentist (a father of two). As a first-time mom I don't know what I would have done without it. I read the entire 600+ pages in a single weekend and completely re-worked my registry. I was able to eliminate a lot of unnecessary ...

The Norton Field Guide to Writing, With Readings
Richard Bullock, Maureen Daly Goggin

W. W. Norton, 2007

Take the kind of guidelines found in the most successful rhetorics. Design them to be as user-friendly as the most popular handbooks. Make it brief. That's The Norton Field Guide . A new kind of rhetoric: Tells students what they need to know, resists the temptation to tell them everything there is to know.

The Anglo Files: A Field Guide to the British

Sarah Lyall

W. W. Norton, 2008

A spot on view of British culture
As an ardent Anglophile, I had to have this book. In many ways Sarah covers the same territory as Bill Bryson with the same bemused American perspective. Each chapter covers a different aspect of British culture and combines personal anecdotes with wider factual ...

McGraw-Hill, 1998

Excellent! More than I expected!
I am so glad I ordered this book. I have never ran nor did I like to run but way down deep inside I wanted to run a marathon. OK, I have had this book for two weeks and can not run four miles. That is four miles for someone who never ran anywhere. Great mental ...

Nikon D40/D40x Digital Field Guide

David D. Busch

Wiley, 2007

NIKON should Include this in the Box!!!
This is WAY better than the 'manual' that comes with the D40. In my humble opinion, this should be included in the box!! If you purchase a Nikon D40/D40X you will want to be certain to purchase this book too...especially if is the first time you have used a SLR ...

Joe Friel

VeloPress, 2004

Great book for someone he needs to learn all they can about triathlons.
This is a great book for both beginnners and intermediate triathletes. The book contains the basics, as well as advanced techniques, of training. The concept of "periodization" was especially helful for me. It is easy to read and the author fully explains ...

National Geographic Field Guide to the Birds of North America, Fifth Edition

Jon L. Dunn, Jonathan Alderfer

National Geographic, 2006

National Geographic Field Guide to the Birds of North America--a review.
This book is first-rate. I tend to favor wildlife books that depict their subjects in paintings and drawings, rather than photos, and this book is rich in mini-masterpieces. I haven't yet gotten into bird-watching, but the book transcends those who use this as a ...

Bird Songs: 250 North American Birds in Song

Bird Songs book review
