Short, sweet and a great reminder to exercise more, reduce fat calories and consume carbohydrates with a low glycemic index rating. Clearly explained, my choices of carbos will change because of the information in this book. Unfortunately, their A-Z table of low GI foods is very limited, which puts a damper on really using this information to the fullest extent. I enjoyed the suggestions for meals and do believe I can lose weight by following the recommendations in this little, but impactful book.

Finally, after many years of not being able to lose weight on low calorie, low fat diets, I have succeeded. Who knew that rice cakes and no fat pretzels were part of the problem. The book is extremely informative and has a wonderful selection of low G.I.meals.

The book begins very well, great concepts and examples of how copicating has been always used for smart people to create or increase wealth, but it takes a turn for the worse when turns into propaganda for franchising and NETWORK MARKETING, the author translates the whole concept into Amway and McD.

I mean there are nothing wrong with that, actually they are very succesfull companies, but I personally dont think those are the best way to become wealthy.

Some people don't think network marketing is the best way to wealth. My question to them is "Are you wealthy? And if you are how did you become wealthy?" Networking is the best way for everything in life. It is how you make friends and wealth. And it will teach patience. This is an excellent book to change the way one views business and personal finance. This book comes highly recommended.

An excellent book. An easy read. A great tool to assist in building a large multi level business.

Dealing with the 700 years of Muslim civilisation in Iberia, this is a gem of popular history, entertaining without sacrificing scholarly attention to detail. The prose is sharp, evocative, and eminently easy to read; the pages are filled with ancedotes and stories that bring this lost world to life. A taster rather than comprehensive, this is an essential companion to travels in Spain, or an ideal way to begin learning more about this oft-overlooked period.

700 years of slaughter nicely summarized in a consise 175 pages. I enjoyed the read so much that i looked up the author's university website where I found his office phone number. I called England, but he wasn't in (which was probably good, because what was i going to say?).

Any casual reader traveling to Southern Spain for the first time should read Fletcher's book before departure. Simply put, it is one of the best summaries of the 700 years of Islamic rule in Moorish Spain. Fletcher's sharp analysis and story-telling skills make this book a real stand-out. If you are familiar with the work of Bernard Lewis, the gifted and prolific Middle East historian, I suspect you will appreciate the efforts of Richard Fletcher.

My wife and I own a home in one of the oldest Moorish & Jewish quarters in Southern Spain, have visited many significant Moorish sites and have read dozens of books about Spain's Islamic period, including Maria Rosa Menocal's "Ornament of the World: How Muslims, Jews and Christians Created a Culture of Tolerance in Medieval Spain."

We want you to know Fletcher's book remains one of the most dog-eared, and borrowed books about Spain in our library today. If you are a fan of Moorish architecture, history, music, poetry and art, I suspect Fletcher's book will become an important companion for many years to come.
