Swaying:Essays on Intercultural Love
I am so happy I found this book. If you are in an intercultural relationship, these are a wonderful compilation of stories from others who are going through or have gone through similar situations. I was laughing out loud at situations so similar to my own. It is a wide range of people and situations and just a joy to read. There defiantely aren't a lot of books on the subject, and this is a great addition to my library!

Crossing Cultures?
If you are in a cross cultural relationship, or are attracted to people who are different than you are, this is a must read book. For your effort you will have the pleasure of reading delightful and fresh accounts of a variety of relationship experiences across cultures. As someone who has read more analysis in one life time than anyone should read in a hundred, its a real treat to be shown by example what the experience is like.

Relationships require frequent communication and connection - when there are language gaps, gaps in expectations, gaps in experience, gaps in communication styles - the challenge of sustaining a fulfilling interaction is real. Go in with your eyes open, learn from the honest stories these women share.

Reminds us that math can be FUN
Math is fun, but the rhetoric of most 'taught' (probably an overstatement) math (and, by extension, logic) is so incredibly dry that the forest is rarely seen for the bark on the trees. But here Carroll, with tongue lodged firmly in cheek, turns the rhetoric (and by extension, the way we think about math problems) on its ear, and the result is an often incredibly funny approach to math and logic problems which stays with you and ultimately worms its way into your quotidian. I'll also say that, as an atrociously poor student in high school, this book allowed me to ace the SATs, and then ten years later the GREs.

great book to teach logic to children
This book by Lewis Carroll is a wonderful source to learn the basics of logic in a funny and natural way. It can be used as a self-study guide or as a manual for educators teaching elements of logic to schoolchildren. It is very clear and consequent and gives the basic idea of propositions and syllogisms. The theory is framed in an unusual game that makes it much more understandable. As always Carroll's examples are a little bit absurdic but this is exactly what makes them humorous, attractive and involving. The book is also a great brain teaser for readers of all ages. Unfortunately it is not as well known as Alice in Wonderland but it has been translated into many foreign languages. I widely used the Russain translation when teaching logic to schoolchildren in St. Petersburg, Russia. Currently being a doctoral student in the States I try to introduce it to my colleagues.


Together Forever: How to Overcome Problems and Rekindle the Love in Your Marriage

Life Changing!
In todays world of throw away marriages, this book forces the reader to take another look at the true meaning of marriage and commitment. It provides a better understanding of why the marriage vow to "love and to cherish" "for better or for worse" is meant to be so much more than just a legal contract between two people.

Though written from a Christian perspective, the book offers hope for any marriage that is at risk of been ripped apart by neglect, selfishness or adultery. It is also a great resource for those that may want to restore a marriage already devastated by divorce.

The book was written from a woman's perspective, but I found it insightful and very helpful in evaluating my own role as a husband and a father.

If you're looking for a way to heal your marriage, this book is a great place to start.

How to salvage a marriage on the brink of divorce!
I've given away over 250 of these books since I purchased it in the early 80's when it was titled, "From The Brink Of Divorce." It is a book for anyone looking to save their marriage.

A primer in natural history
I found this book in the library and kept reading it so long I paid twice the cost of the book in fines. Now, I've ordered my own copy because I cannot be without it.

Written in the style of Aldo Leopold's _Sand County Almanac_, this is a focused study of stream ecology, But it is not a dry book of science. It is a story of a stream through four seasons. The author writes of a place he knows well through a lifetime of hiking and fishing, but where he can still experience childlike wonder. Through his narrative, the reader learns about the fish, the water, plants and insects, birds and beasts, and the relationships that sustain the cycles of life and death along a stream. The author offers perspectives that develops a sense of ecological responsibility.

NOT ONLY FOR FISHERMEN!
This book is a delight for anyone interested in the outdoors & nature. The title sounds like the book would be for undergraduates in Fish Culture; however, it is a happy surprise to find that David M. Carroll has written a wonderful, lyrical account of the life of trout including the environment and all the living creatures, critters, and flora that enter the facinating world in the life cycle of the fish. His lovely drawings add to the naturalists' delight! His account of fishing for these elusive fish should catch the fishermen among his readers, too!

The essential hiking companion!
Wild Virginia is the ultimate hiking guide to one of the most beautiful states in the eastern US. Whether you're looking for day hikes or extended trips, this is the guide for you. This book not only offers an informative overview of hiking in the wilderness areas but also provides a description of each trail in great detail. If the authors state that the trail curves sharply to the left or there is a fork in the trail, you know it's there. The maps are also true representations, making this guide essential while planning at home or hiking on the trail. I can't wait to see their West VA guide!

This book rocks!
Wild Virginia is a unique work that clearly presents information about wilderness areas in the state. I have been unable to find a good source to have on hand when planning trips, and now that I have discovered this book, I am excited to take it along. It is obvious that the authors have been thorough in their research, and have taken great pains to hike and explore every trail they discuss. Their presentation of each area will make it easy for any newcomer to enjoy the wilderness of Virginia.

Excellent Sci-fi!
This is the 2nd novel I have read by this author. The first was Circle of Distrust, and I enjoyed it immensely. This one is more like their short stories (which are all science fiction), and to me, who enjoys a good story along with their sci-fi, it was even more enjoyable. It had everything, suspense, humor, sex, and some great futuristic concepts.
