Control Your Blood Pressure (52 Brilliant Ideas) Review: Control Your Blood Pressure (52 Brilliant Ideas). I have three problems with this book: (1) The author attempts to use a conversational writing style that instead of being helpful, distracts from the information. The light-heartedness and humor falls flat most of the time and I don't consider high blood pressure a joking matter, (2) There is much irrelevant information that seems to be nothing more than filler, making the book much, much longer than is needed to get the point across, and (3) While the author tries to break the book into relatively short chapters, the topics ...

Three Men in a Boat (Chrysalis Children's Classics) Review: Three Men in a Boat (Chrysalis Children's Classics). Humor is very hard to write. Jerome K. Jerome does a fine job in his "Three Men in a Boat" -- it's a light, frothy sort of humor that brings to mind a 60's comedy movie. The characters are irritable and inept, and the things that tick them off (packing luggage, setting up a tent, dealing with women in nature, cooperative rowing) are still very relevant today. For example, people who hate jet-skis can find parallel rants on the steam-powered launches that annoy Jerome and his ... Read more »

Christmas with Family & Friends (Seasonal Cookbook Collection) Review: Christmas with Family & Friends (Seasonal Cookbook Collection). Are you dreaming of snow for Christmas? Do you long for the aromas of Christmas baking? Then you will be interested in this cookbook. I think we all love Gooseberry cookbooks because it is so cozy to read them. This one is especially filled with Christmas memories and tons of recipes. There are also plenty of decorating tips and lots of adorable illustrations. The book begins with stories and progresses to breakfast and brunch recipes, appetizers, soups, main dishes and desserts. Most of the recipes serve four, six or eight. ... Read more »

Sproutman's Kitchen Garden Cookbook : Sprout Breads Review: Sproutman's Kitchen Garden Cookbook : Sprout Breads, Cookies, Salads, Soups and 250 Other Low Fat, Dairy-Free, Vegetarian Recipes. I'm into raw foodism and have found various recipe books for a raw foodist. This book is the best recipe book I know. It's very detailed, practical, and rich in contents. I also like the philosophy of the author: While it is good to increase the intake of raw foods, it's not necessary that every mouthful of food contains enzyme. Sometimes it's necessary to cook the food at a relatively low temperature. I've learned to make sprouted wheat bread from this book. It's very ... Read more »

The Toyota Way: 14 Management Principles from the World's Greatest Manufacturer Review: The Toyota Way: 14 Management Principles from the World's Greatest Manufacturer. This book puts Toyota back where it belongs: front and center in the world of the lean enterprise. The idea that Toyota just originated lean and that others have since taken it further is a fallacy that has lately been creeping into publications and conference presentations. The reality is that Toyota is still far ahead and that the vast majority of companies that claim to be lean are only "kinda, sorta" lean, with managements that simply have not understood the approach.The book has a visible structure that the reader can ...

Norman & Globus Inc 7802 Review: Science Wiz Light Kit. My 6 year old son loves this science kit.

Not just a toy...it really does teach some fundamental physics.Having purchased the Light kit, I'm going to get some more of them.

Mostly European descent Americans with one black man, and maybe a latino? Colt Studio has printed male photos like these for decades. Thus the Colt you remember.

Faith and Finance: Peace With or Without Prosperity Review: Faith and Finance: Peace With or Without Prosperity. If you're a Christian who is struggling with your finances, you could do a lot worse than to read this book. God knows how to manage money better than we do, and by obeying His "advice" and surrendering your finances to the One Who owns it all anyway, you can have financial peace with or without prosperity, as the title of this book claims.

Living and Working in Germany: A Survival Handbook (Living & Working in Germany) Review: Living and Working in Germany: A Survival Handbook (Living & Working in Germany). I have read several books on moving/living in Germany. Of those books, this one is the most comprehensive. It focuses on the nuts-and-bolts of the overseas move, including the various government agencies one must deal with, housing issues, utilities, and more. It's fairly upbeat but at the same time appears to provide a balanced view on the good and bad. Combined with "The Expert Expatriate," this book seems to cover all of the bases.7 of 7 . Read more »
