I found the book useful and enlightening
If you liked this book, also try "The Healing Journey Through Menopause" by Phil Rich and Fran Mervyn or "The Healing Journey for Couples" by Phil Rich and Stuart Copans which wil help couples learn how to journal together and develop their relationship. Try other books in "The Healing Journey" series of self help journaling books by Phil Rich. There are also Healing Journey books on journaling for individuals, ("The Healing Journey" and on grief, divorce, job loss, retirement, and addiction.

This is THE book for every woman and every man who loves her
Over the past 10 years when I have been out giving seminars on menopause and osteoporosis, and now on estrogen, women and men would come forward to ask me about the subjects they still perceive to be "taboo." Subjects came up about lack of libido, erectile dysfunction, sexual boredom in a long term relationship, masturbation, extra marital affairs, safe sex, safer sex, no sex----I could go on and on. And so in addition to the 35,000 questionnaires I had already used for my books on menopause and osteoporosis, I distributed another 6700 questionnaires about our midlife sex lives.

The responses were illuminating, astounding, helpful. My responders were open, honest, and clear in their desire to improve their intimate relationships. I interviewed couples, singles, both gay and straight individuals. I interviewed women and men of many ages and in many stages of life.

Further, I ran focus groups in my home where the information flowed freely as each person present was aware that no one in that group would repeat anything heard there. Those interviewees, those present in the focus groups are represented throughout the book. They are real people, whose occupations and locales have been changed greatly in order to protect their privacy.

I am very proud of this book and have received letters, calls, and e-mails from women and men all over the world who felt they had found their way on the path to quality relationships after reading the book.

I hope "150 Most-Asked Questions About Midlife Sex, Love, and Intimacy"

will help you and make you happy, too.

Updated with McGwire
Right now there are sixteen players who have hit over 500 home runs. Each one has a nice write-up and stories that are very enjoyable to read. Fifteen are retired or deceased and one is still playing.

New and Improved.
I have always dreamed of meeting the 16 baseball players that have hit over 500 home runs. Now I realize that meeting Ruth, Ott, Mantle and Matthews would be impossible that's why I'm glad to have a copy of this book.

Along with those listed earlier you read about Aaron, Schmidt, Jackson, Foxx, Killebrew, Mays, Robinson, Williams, McCovey, Banks, Murray and the newest member McGwire.

The book is new and updated and the 16 players are listed alphabetically and no ranking system is used. I like this concept as it gives the reader the choice as to which they consider the best of this very special and elite group.

Each chapter is written to not only discuss the career of the player but also let others who knew them talk about the person as well. The book also includes photos of each of the players. This is for every baseball fan young and old - excellent work and well done!!

Every Woman Should Read this Book!
A rare voice of reason and compassion. Dr. Dixon-Mueller gives us a chance to look clear-eyed at the facts . . . and the facts speak for themselves. Every woman should read this book! -- along with every single person involved on either side of the debate. Bravo!

A welcome voice for sanity
If you're looking for an intelligent, informative and readable discussion of why abortion needs to be safe, legal and accessible, this is the book for you. The authors focus on the realities of unwanted pregnancies and on women's experiences with legal and illegal abortion in the U.S., Canada and worldwide. An estimated 48 million of the world's women terminate their pregnancies every year, some safely, many dangerously. Others bear unwanted children. In the U.S. four women in ten will have at least one abortion in their lifetime. ABORTION & COMMON SENSE explains why "perfect contraception" is elusive; the reasons for contraceptive failure or nonuse; the process of abortion decision-making; safe and unsafe procedures and their physical and emotional effects; and the legal, medical, and political environments--both domestic and international--that affect women's access to safe services. Demonstrating that restricting legal access is both unworkable and unfair, the authors conclude that safe and early abortion services should be an integral element of good medical care and a rational social policy. A Quick Quiz at the beginning of the book tests your knowledge of abortion laws and practices. You may be surprised!


Abraham Clark and the Quest for Equality in the Revolutionary Era

Average review score:

The uniquely American struggle for equality
This is a masterful study of the political and economic undercurrents of the American Revolution. Abraham Clark, a Signer of the Declaration of Independence from New Jersey, was an advocate for the middle and working classes. He fought against privilege in every form, often pitting himself against the most powerful, and wealthy, leaders of the Revolution. He feared that America would establish a country in which the domination of the poor by the wealthy would continue. He was also concerned that "new sources of tyranny" would "arise from American centers of power." His economic ideas and initiatives centered on "leveling the playing field" and are still worth considering. Most of his work was in this area, both on the national and state level. Called an "excentric genius" by one of his enemies, Clark's actions were extremely popular among the people of his district. He was held publicly accountable for every major bill which passed during his tenure in the state legislature. As a member of Congress, he was an ardent supporter of James Madison's policies and measures in the area of commerce.

It will make you re-think the American Revolution
This is a masterful political and economic study of the Revolution, from the point of view of a Signer of the Declaration of Independence who was an advocate of the middle and working classes. It contains economic, social and political ideas still worth considering. Abraham Clark represents a proud and unique tradition in America in which the idea of equality is central. He feared tyranny in the form of the wealthy gaining power over the poor, and institutions over the individual. As the author states, he fought every form of privilege: social, military, economic or political. His economic vision and ability made him a major player in shaping our new country.

No fluff, to the point, Biblical truths that you can use
This is a great book. If you are serious about having a strong, victorious Christian walk, get this. It contains strong, challenging, Biblical truths and insights and teaches you how to apply them. I would recomend this for any Bible study. It has questions at the end of each chapter that help you retain and examine the material. Mr. Kenyon doesn't beat around the bush. Warning! If you are a spiritual wimp and refuse to change, or are to scared to, don't read this book. You might find out why you aren't bearing any fruit in your life and need therapy or something. If you are willing to change, and act on what you read in this book, it will be one of the greatest tools you can have in developing a strong foundation of who you are in Christ.

Meat and Potatoes
This is true "meat and potatoes" bible study. It's challenging, but so nurturing that you will want to complete each lesson again and again to be certain you missed nothing of it's message. Praise God for such a wonderful book!

Beautifully illistrated
The Amish are always an interest to my visiting friends and family. Amish Ways is a wonderful gift to give them to keep their memories alive and to show others when they return home.

This book answers all my questions about the Amish
This hardcover makes you feel like you're right inside an Amish home. I loved the home birth, their education in a one-room school and the way they have church and lunch at somebody's house. I never realized all the ways they shared in their community. The author and photographer must have spent a lot of time with the Amish to do such a good book. The beautiful pictures made me want to visit the Amish

Great southern cooking right out of grandma's kitchen
I just got the cookbook, and the buttermilk fried chicken is to die for! As a hunter, there are no fish and game recipes around that compare to the ones found in the Arkansas Classic Country Cookbook! I just can't wait until my wife finds the dessert section.

Great recipes found right out of grandma's kitchen!
I am Jack Lankford, son of Bess Lankford and Grandson of Ruth Moore Malone. As many of these recipes I've sampled , I've got to be the official taste tester of this cookbook!
Some of the fish and game recipes are so tasty you can find some of them in Arkansas Fish and Wildlife Magazine as well as Ducks Unlimited Magazine.
Easy to follow recipes and simple ingredients are the key to this cookbook!
Down home, taste with the touch of family traditional recipes.
This cookbook has got to be the gift that keeps on giving for appetites everywhere!

The Art of Ruth Draper

Pure Genius
These peformances should be required listening for all students of drama and performance technique. Draper's gifts, even in these her only recordings, made when she was seventy, shine out to us across the decades and remain the only real examples of her in action. The Italian Lesson on Tape One is stunning - a bravura display of humour, speed, detail, insight and timing. A huge inspiration and would that she were better known today. Play it to all your friends and watch them fall under the spell of the magnificent Ruth Draper!

A brillliant and unique performance artist.
Ruth Draper was a performance artist and actress of the 40's and 50's. She performed solo, spinning out fabulous characters and elaborate monologues in which she created many characters and subtle situations. No one has ever duplicatd her technique. This tape gives the listener a vivid idea of her remarkable gifts. Her "Italian Lesson" in particular is a tour de force. Two thumbs way up!

Great book for baseball lovers
I remember this reading this book in 7th grade and i will never forget it. It was writen with pride and dignity you felt that the great BAMBINO was a hero and he was to most people. I really recommend this book to baseball lovers and people who are interested with this topic. Oh Guernsey Van Riper and Seymour Fleishman did a excellent job writting and illustrating this book.

Babe Ruth- An All American Hero
I read this book a couple years ago, but haven't forgot it. It's great if you like learning about sports heros or baseball. I remember most baseball stuff. I even remember that 1 month after his first wife died in an apartment fire, Babe Ruth married again. I learned that from this book. Would you like to learn more? Then buy this book!!!

Very Informative
"The Battered Child" presents a clear, strong overview of child abuse: its origins, its legal history, its effects on society and its impact on the child. I would definately recommend it to anyone wanting to learn about the dynamics of abuse!

YOU MUST HAVE THIS ONE!
Excellent textbook! Should be in every school, therapist office, hospital, clinic and child protection agency library. If I could only buy one, this would be it! This is an excellent companion book to Body Language of the abused child! Buy them both- you will not regret it!
