Excellent! A must for all first-time mothers!
This book tells in realistic and compassionate detail (from a credible medical and psychological expert) what new mothers are sometimes embarassed or ashamed to admit was their experience.

Even if you are not having any ambivalence or stress from becoming a new mother, this book gives a wonderful and understanding portrait of what these early weeks and months are like.

Everyone Should Read This Book
This is not so much a book about death and grieving as it is about learning to live a more meaningful life. The authors help us to sort the important from the unimportant in our lives by sharing stories about their experiences and the experiences of their patients. Many people (especially Americans) become so caught up in our own schedules and "things" that we sometimes fail to get our priorities straight. This book will provoke re-evaluation of of your life, and your deepest feelings about what is really important.

A Light In The Darkness
Elisabeth Leseur will one day be named a saint. Her words stir the soul, and I believe that she was one of the greatest spiritual writers of the 20th Century.

Living in Norway
"Living in Norway" is a pictorial tour throughout Norway of days gone by in quiet solitude between the grand fjords with the majestic mountains on all sides. The book is divided into the four seasons: fall, winter, spring and summer. You can experience the beauty of Norway through all seasons. Winter time in Norway is long, and the daylight hours few, but the homes are gaily decorated throughout the dark winter days. When it comes to antiques, here you can see them in their natural surroundings. This book offers hundreds of color photographs, but don't forget to read the text, it is a fantastic tour of Norway. The "hytta" or cabins the norwegians used in the summer days are featured, many of the old hytta still exist and open their doors to guests as do American bed and breakfasts. Some of the hytta remain with the original families, others have been purchased for private use or for overnight stays. Traditional rosmalling on the walls and the "box beds" will guide you through times gone by. An intimate tour through the summer home of Edvard Grieg and his wife will delight you and amaze you to discover that this is also the final resting place of the Greig's. But more awaits. The modern Norwegian homes are smartly represented also, from a simple concrete structure in Oslo decorated to please someone with an eye for new-age artwork, these glimpses inside the homes of Norway and excellent stories about their histories may leave you wondering how to find these places. No fear, among the last pages of the book are addresses for each of these homes if you would like to include one of these homes on your next trip to Norway. No matter if you wish to visit a Nordland harbor with it's peaceful calm fjord, or a Gudbrandsdalen farm which is linked to the 3 series trilogy written by Nobel prizewinner Sigrid Undset (The Bridal Wreath, The Mistress of Husaby, The Cross), you will find a rich selection of Norwegian homes, interior and exterior, modern or antique. As you read the book, it will look handsome on your coffee table. It makes an excellent gift for a family member who would enjoy reading about days gone by in Norway and living in modern Norway. If you desire to decorate your home norwegian style, ideas abound in the book. How about a stroll along Karl Johan street in Oslo to find a excellent restaurant with a historical past? A great book for Norwegian genealogists interested in farm life also. This book is rich in text and photographs, and the book is so inexpensive. Enjoy!


Losing Weight After Pregnancy: A Step-By-Step Guide to Postpartum Fitness

New mothers should make time for this book
Books like these often get shoved aside in the upheaval that overtakes a woman after the birth of a baby. The night table is cluttered with diapers, wipes, burp rags, nursing pads and baby care manuals. Who has time to waste reading? Especially about a depressing subject like losing all that baby weight?

For this book, you should make time. It gives one of the most clear and concise descriptions of just how pregnant women gain weight, and the physiological steps required to lose it. There's no manic Jane Fonda exhorting you to pull in those flabby abs, just a sensible diet, exercise guidelines and survival tips from childbirth preparation expert Bing.

Wonderful introduction for older children
Marc Chagall's paintings are beautiful and intricate, and this book attempts to deliver both reproductions of his paintings and an abbreviated biography. There are a few photographs scattered throughout as well, mostly of Chagall's family. I would warn readers, however, that even though the book is listed as suitable for children ages 4-8, a 4-year-old is not likely to enjoy this book, except perhaps as a free-form discussion tool. The narrative is too dense (short as it is) to hold such a young child's attention. My daughter, 4, is very bright and social, but she still couldn't look at the book with me in a conventional way. Instead we talked about what we saw in the pictures and how the colors blended together and created a mood, sometimes sad, sometimes happy. The book is worth purchasing for an older child, however, and I would recommend it for children at least age 6 and up. It is rather thin, but is filled with wonderful things.
