Review:Great lessons to be learned from Mark's anecdotes of his lifelong experience of working with horses. He is not only a great horseman that truly understands animal psychology, but also a gifted writer that captivates his audience with often humorous accounts of lessons he learned through interactions with both horses and people. I can truly relate to his passive style of gaining a horse's confidence, as I acquired a rescue horse that feared everyone and everything, and using a similar approach I ... Read more
Review:Beautiful illustrations, detailed and easy to understand. It is a book, for the average practitioner, to have around and look into from time to time in order to gain more insight on the muscles each pose directly affects. There is just so much depth to yoga poses than what we might simply guess. I think this a very interesting book. Read more
Review:I have been following Max for sometime on social media and have been following his advice. Now I have his book and can read more in depth about the research he has collected and put together. The book is not overwhelming to read like some I have read. There are a few recipes at the end that I have already tried and found very tasty. Read more
Review:Great history of genetics from simple Mendelian genetics to modern capabilities and the ethical issues surrounding them Easy to read You don't need to have a genetics background Better than the Emperor of all Maladies A history of Cancer Read more
Review:Reads like your favorite spy thriller, but ends like a horror story. I can't imagine the courage it took for Mr. Carroll to gather the hard evidence and compelling interviews that make up this first-rate documentary.
You don't have to be a Lyme disease sufferer (as I am) to be enthralled with this book. It is my dearest wish that it will inspire others to discover the truth about Plum Island and hopefully a cure someday.

Review:Good start to the Alpha and Omega series of books. I'm glad I read the prequel before this novel, it gives more insight into how Anna became a wolf and how she was hurt by her first pack.
Cry Wolf explores Anna and Charles' relationship. This is not a "she falls in love and all her past hurts are forgotten" type of book. Anna particularly has problems that anyone with a traumatic past would have with new intimacy, especially since it is their Wolves who have chosen each other before their hum... Read more
Review:I bought these for our homeschool and all our kids just love them! The cards are high quality, although I did laminate them for longevity. My 7 & 8 year old boys actually memorized all 100 birds by sight. Wow. My 5 and 3 year olds also enjoy playing with these and have memorized many of them! Read more
Review:My boyfriend is in love with this book. He doesn't use any gym equipment and is solely reliant on his own self to do strength training. He had studied other books in the past but he said that he learned lots from this book in regards to muscles targeted and areas he was unknowingly neglecting. Read more
Review:hardly any info on Octopi. Just old views on western consciousness. The author should go sit a 10 day silent meditation vipassana course and explore his own consciousness. Was seriously bummed out, but maybe I had really high expectations because I've always wondered about Octopi Read more
Review:While not a true Kingsolver fan, I am rapidly becomming one! After reading Poisonwood Bible and enjoying it, I read this and absolutely loved it. What I didn't know about ecology, coyotes and moths could fill volumes. I really enjoyed the characters and their interwoven stories and learned so much about the delicate balance of nature. I would recommend this book to anyone without hesitation. It was absolutely wonderful. Read more
