I love this book. In my job I need technical and reference information. I find it in the Appendix, the sections for "chemistry buffs" and its the many scientific and Internet references. I use the book not only to learn about vitamin E, but also to get background information on nutrition, diet, aging, exercise and many diseases. I find it in plain English and is fun to read, full of real life stories and, something you do not find in health books, real humor.

The book is easy to read and entertaining and supported by extensive literature. It will be useful not only for the general public but also for anyone interested in the role of vitamin E in health and nutrition.

Thank you you for such a wonderful book, The Vitamin E Factor. I have learned so much I am again reading it for the third time. I only wish that every person would read this book. When you have an updated version I would hope you would let me know. Again, Thanks for such a well written book. Yes, some of the information was repetitive, but sometimes we need to read it several times to absorb all the information. Debra M. Kowalski, Dayville, Oregon

this official book is the perfect example of how fun the guys can be. the backstreet boys are great performers but after looking through this book i find that they are a great group of close friends as well. This book includes exclusive photos taken by their official photographer: andre csillag and captions that were written by the bsb themselves! :-) You have to get this if you don't have it already. it is a must to own if u are a fan!

If you are a Backstreet Boys fan, this is the book for you! I can't get over how good the pics are! The book gets up close to the boys and contains photo's of behind the scene's and even some photo's taken by Brian himself! You won't be dissappointed with the book because every picture is a good picture! Or should I say gorgeous picture! Especially the AJ pics! There are pics from when they started out right up to the Into The Millennium tour! The captions are written by the boys themselves which are very humourous! The behind the scenes antics are the best suprises in the book! Every BSB fanatic will love this book to bits! Hope you enjoy it coz i did and so did my friends! KTBSPA 4 ever n always! xxx

I'm a 15-year-old BSB fan and for quite some time, I'd been waiting for an official Backstreet Boys book; something that I knew was real and accurate. This book certainly went beyond my expectations. Not only did I enjoy seeing hundreds of wonderful pictures that I'd never seen before, but I found myself smiling and laughing as I read the Boys' comments. I would definitely recommend this book to any Backstreet Boys fan. Thank you to Andre Csillag and the Boys for this wonderful book that the fans will surely treasure. :)

I think this book is great for people and children of all ages. The exciting life of a young boy named Alec Ramsay, just started after his life on the empty island. I can imagine him on the black stallion's back clasping his mane in his hands. I can tell that Alec enjoyed an awful lot the rides on the on the shoreline. I could just see what a beautiful creature the stallion was, from his long strong legs to his silky coat that shone in the sunlight. If you can't just say goodbye to the book and set it down there are many others, like The Black Stallion Returns. Even Walter's relatives wrote some books to go with the series to make them even more interesting. So many rides of glory when Alec was with his new best friend, the stallion who was so strong, wondrous, so amazing. I hope I have inspired you to read Walter Farley's amazing book, The Black Stallion.

The book is absolutely excellent! I enjoy horse books and I'll read anything, but Walter Farley's Black stallion and the series holds a place in my heart. It's about a boy and his love for a untamed wild stallion. Amazingly, he is the only one whom is able to ride him! I give it 5 stars. Read it. You'll see.

Walter Farley started writing the story which became "The Black Stallion" while he was still in high school. I think I was eight or nine years old when I first read it. I still read the series from time to time, and time has only made me appreciate Farley's fine writing skills all the more. Especially the final chapter about the match race between Sun Raider, Cyclone, and the Black - I can actually HEAR the track announcer's "It's the mystery horse!" in my mind. Mr. Farley had the unique ability to express emotions through the written word - it still gives me tingles.

Only one beef I have - why, oh why, did they decide to re-do the illustrations? I still have my dogeared Scholastic Books paperback with the original illustrations. The original illustrator made the Black truly look like "the wildest of all wild creatures".

This book should be in every child's library!

I am an author and I collect children's books, thus I feel my taste in children's books is very discerning. This is one of the most beautiful books - in pictures, content, and spirit - that I have ever seen. This is one 'Christmas' book that does not get packed away for 11 months of the year - it stays on my bookshelf the year through. My husband and I have read it each Christmas Eve, and I now read it to my 4-month old daughter a few times a month. This book would be a wonderful gift to children in families who may not have a personal relationship with Jesus. I gain blessings and appreciation anew each time I read this story.

In this religious book for children there is a little lamb named Joshua who is crippled and his best friend Abigail who is an old cow.
In this story the other sheep make fun of Joshua and makes him feel sad and miserable. When the shepherds are about to take the sheep to a better pasture the sheered says that Joshua must stay here. When Joshua is awakened in the stable by some noises he finds a little baby crying because it is cold and there are no blankets. So Joshua keeps him warm with his own wool and the family is very grateful to him. Well it turn out that this little baby is Jesus the king, the so of God. Finally Joshua understands why he is cripple for if he hadn't had been he would not have been there to keep the baby warm.
This amazing book was written by: max, Jenna, Andrea, & Sara Lucado and was illustrated by Liz Bonham.

The illustrations in this book are absolutely beautiful! They capture my children's attention and even I can't turn the page without looking at the artwork. They story is equally as beautiful. It is about a small lamb who doesn't feel he belongs because he is not as "perfect" as the other lambs. He has a tremendous friend, named Abigail, who always reminds him that "God has a special place for those who don't belong." I cannot count the times this book as been read to teach my children how to be a friend to someone "different" or how to stand the trials of being the one who is not like everyone else. It is a touching story that no matter how many times you read, will choke you up and bring tears to your eyes. Abigale and Joshua will remind you of how special God creates each of us and how important we each are in "life". This is a must read book

I'd pride myself as having decent wine knowledge. I drink wine almost every day, have about 600 bottles in my cellar and subscribe to a few wine periodicals. I tend to read just about everything about wine I can get my hands on, from the industry to wine ratings. I have to say, I found Andrea's book to be a great resource to help me organize my thoughts around what I already knew (region characteristics, grape varietals, etc.), plus introduce me to some new regions (primarily the minor French and Italian wines) that I wasn't already familiar with. My only rub is that Andrea didn't spend more time in the book on CA wines, but given that that region is "new world" and adopts many of the French style and techniques, I understand. BTW, I also live in N. CA, so I admit I'm very biased. Bottom line: this is a great book to introduce/help you organize your wine knowledge and prepare you to continue to refine you appreciation of wine. I understand other readers opinion that Andrea has somewhat of "cute sorority girl" approach to writing, but get over it. If you can get beyond the tone, the content is definitely there.

Completely through dumb luck, I picked up a bottle of wine for a recent dinner party that was not only delicious in its own right, it made the food taste better. I'd never had that experience before, but it was enough to make me want to learn more about wine, so that I could intentionally pick good wine/food combinations in the future. I'm so glad this was the first book on the subject that I ordered. Beside being a fun read, the author does a wonderful job of educating the reader, without seeming pretentious or preachy. Although she begins with the assumption that you nothing, I can't imagine even an already knowledgable wine enthusiast not learning something from this - it's packed with good information. At the end of each discussion section, she includes a 'how to have a wine test' guide, beginning with comparisons of the six most common wine styles, and progressing to tastings on wine characteristics (oaky verses steel barrel, etc) and wines from lesser known grapes. Also included are basic hints for choosing wines, predicting a wine's flavor, and pairing wine with food.

Not only would I buy this book again, I've recommended it to several friends - in my opinion, it's a can't-miss-purchase on the subject.

Andrea has a real gift for explaining a somewhat complicated topic in an easy to understand manner. I purchased a highly recommended book on wine before this one, and ended up more confused than enlightened. Andrea's book is very well written, and explains the world of wine in simple terms that anyone could understand. Her enthusiasm and love for wine shines through, and her writing style is down-to-earth and fun. It seems she is writing to a good friend. Her tasting exercises are excellent, and easy to perform. She gives specific recommendations in a variety of price ranges, so people on any budget can still learn about wine and develop an appreciation of the various grapes and flavors. She even covers how to go about choosing a wine on one of those huge restaurant wine lists, and such basics as wine glasses, storage, and the difference in the various corkscrews available. The part I appreciated most was the pronunciation guide for the large array of vocabulary associated with wine. This was a big help. My only suggestion for improvement would be to have these words together in a glossary in the back of the book, in addition to the book content.

Most people have at least functional understanding of personal networking they generally have some idea gained from personal experience, training or instinct.
What is not apparent to most people, even those who are networking aficionados, is the depth and breath of the cumulative impact of personal networking on our socio economic individual lives, as well as that of our local and regional communities.
Andrea begins to bring this broader vision and role of networking to us with her conversational style approach.
Andrea clearly and precisely describes the process by which a person can enhance their life by the use of networking. Andrea's style shows she understands how hard it is for people to learn and practice networking today. The prerequisite skills of good networking are not intuitive and are not part of most formal education experiences so her work in this book is serving a fundamental need for thousands who will benefit by reading and practicing the skills.
For people without the basic networking skills - here they are.
For people with some of the skills and a desire to develop them further - here is the way.
For people who believe in networking and want a better understanding of networkings' deeper role of a micro building block of a macro socio economic structure - here it is.
Nonstop Networking has become one of the books I keep close by for ready reference.

Most people find it very difficult to network. Yet, networking is what gets many of us jobs, apartments, and even new friends. Networking can be as simple as your mom mentioning that a co-worker is looking for a new secretary and then putting in a good word for you. So many of us are networking and don't even realize it.

As a very shy person with very little ability to be social or outgoing, I have found Andrea Nierenberg's book to be invaluable. She even has included a chapter geared especially toward introverted people in her book. After reading Andrea's book, I have used her advice to get a nicer (but cheaper) apartment by networking through co-workers and am currently being considered for a better job by using Andrea's principles at a recent pool party. Less than 2 weeks after reading Andrea's book, my life is already getting better!

I highly recommend this book to everyone.

Not only is Andrea McNichol's book on Handwriting Analysis the absolute best book on graphology that I've read thus far, but it was one of the MOST ENJOYABLE BOOKS I've ever read period! Maybe it's the "detective" in me, but anybody who loves a sleuth will thoroughly enjoy this book. It is colored with humor and the writer obviously has a gift for teaching. The book is very well written, and the content so interesting that I literally couldn't put it down. This is invaluable information. As someone who is working towards a PhD in Psychology, I was AMAZED at the significant contribution that graphology makes to the field, and even MORE amazed at how mental health professionals have gotten along without it! Worth it's weight in GOLD!

This is probably the very best book on handwriting analysis ever written. It has something for everyone -- from the highly skeptical beginner who knows nothing about graphology, to the most experienced graphologist. Andrea McNichol is one of the top, if not the top, people in the field of graphology, and reading her book will help you understand why. From cases about how Andrea helped police and authorities catch criminals via handwriting, to the use of graphology in job screening...Andrea covers it all like no other.

I have read dozens of graphology books, including all of the other leading experts. None of them comes close to the thoroughness and brilliance of Andrea's book. It's also extremely entertaining, funny, and I found myself sitting down to just read a little of it -- and ending up reading it over the course of two otherwise very busy days. If you're interested in learning about graphology, or have been doing it yourself for 20 years, this book is for you. It's a work of genius.

Andrea McNichol's fun and humorous approach to the subject of handwriting analysis makes it easy to learn and understand. Divided into easily read sections with "self-quizzes" that show you just how much graphology is based on common sense, the book is an excellent read and educational text that makes remembering the techniques easy.

This was an outstanding book for codependents. It was very informative and realistic. I felt like flying to Wickenburg AZ to thank Pia Mellody herself for the tremendous help she has been to me through her book. She helps you deal with everyday situations in a productive way... instead of chaotic.. It was easy to understand and easy to apply... thank you, Pia, you are a godsend to me and my family...

If a therapist says "Maybe your Codependent", then you need to read this book. It explains codependecy in simple terms and gives lots of examples of codependency behavoir and feelings. If nothing else, it is a great book to read if you are a parent trying to raise children in a healthy , functional home. This book has done wonders for me!

Pia Mellody writes a wonderful book. She uses her own experiences and daily trials to help you realize that you may or may not be co-dependent. She helps you view everyday life from a different perspective that can help you grow. Very helpful once my counselor suggested that I may be co-dependent, I am, and I can learn a new life for myself.

What an absolutely fabulous little book! In clear concise and honest fashion, this book lays out in easy to read illustated pages, the real history of this country. No where in my college level education were these easily verifyable facts presented. My family and friends read this book, and all agree it should be required reading for every highschool student in the country. It has never been more needed than right now with our insane military aggression threatening to engulf the Middle East in a terribly destructive ... war. Read who is doing this and why, read who profits from this madness, take a copy to your next PTA meeting and ask the teachers to read it!
Buy this book! Better yet but 5 copies and hand them out!

I LOVED this book. The writer/artist makes it sooo easy to really understand the dangers of this military industrial take over of the U.S. economy, the world, and our childrens lives. For what? To support the very people that have stripped the wealth out of every working American, and get us to send our "kids" to fight THEIR money wars, so they can sit home and get fatter than they are. I HIGHLY recommend this book. I've a wonderful interview with Joel Andreas in the archives of my show at ... I've read plenty of books, but this one should be in every school and every library.

Addicted to War was the first book on this subject matter that I read, some time ago. For me, reading this book was like having a revelation. I was speechless the entire time I read it, glued to the pages. I hope not to sound too cliche, but after reading it, I felt as if I had just awoken from "The Matrix", seeing for the first time some of the larger truths of U.S. foreign policy and its inseparable ties with big business and the economy, and how I had been manipulated my entire life to see things in a different way. And I immediately thought that everyone in the U.S. who hasn't been exposed to this kind of thinking needs to read this book. Since then I have bought dozens of copies for family, friends and acquaintances.

Joel Andreas relies mostly on quotes from leaders of industry and government as well as government documents and memos throughout the book to support his thesis that war is a racket, benefitting the wealthy of this country, and paid for by the working people of this country in taxes and military service. One may argue with his conclusions, but would be hard-pressed to dispute the authenticity of the source material used.

The book inspired me to purchase a number of other books dealing with similar subject matter (some of them used in the impressively long Bibliography listed on the last 3 pages of the book), as I think was part of the intent of the book. It's meant to jolt you awake (especially if you were politically asleep like myself) and encourage you to seek out more information on the subject matter.

I see only a couple small nitpicks with the book. Since I've been reading stacks of other articles, books and papers on similar subjects, I think there are a few other dynamite quotes that could have bolstered the viewpoint of Andreas but were overlooked, although the quotes chosen do an excellent job anyway. Also, the role of Communism in the world during the time of most of the military and CIA interventions mentioned in this book is not discussed. This is important information for the reader to know, and I hope anyone who reads this book will research that topic after reading it. Any historian or political scientist with the opposing point of view of this book will likely tell you that the deterrence of the spread of Communism was the primary motivating force behind most of these encounters, and this is the reason given by the government. But that point I think can be overlooked while reading this book, as that information is covered in great detail in other places, and it is not central to the ideas presented by the author. Those ideas being, primarily, that our leaders (leaders of industry and government) are motivated to go to war and change the politics of other countries not out of a desire to spread Democracy throughout the world, but from a desire to bolster the economy and line their pockets. As that is the stance the book takes, the information and the way it is presented is quite convincing.

The other idea that I think is left unexplored in the book, is how essential the natural resource of petroleum is to the survival of the U.S. (and the world) economy and lifestyle, and how securing access to that resource is our most primary national security interest, which has directed U.S. foreign policy a great deal over the last 50 years. I would also encourage the reader to explore this information as a supplement to this book (Michael T. Klare wrote a fantastic book, "Resource Wars", about this very subject).

While there are some well-read and knowledgeable people who may point out this book is full of "tired stereotypes" or that the points presented are old and cliche, I would say that the majority of people living in the U.S. have not been enlightened to these ideas, and as such, I can't recommend reading and distributing this book enough.
