Review:A fabulous read, writer Ann Rule takes us from crime to resolution in a fast-paced story that is almost impossible to put down. If you enjoy non fiction crime stories, "Small Sacrifices" is the gold standard of this genre. It is definitely a must-read. Read more
Review:This book is more for the psychiatric professional and not for a person who is trying to become more mindful. The first half of the book focused on mindlessness. The second half of the book focused on experiments done with various groups of people and how those experiments helped those people become more mindful. Read more
Review:A serious and in-depth review, from a primary contributor, about the difficult quest searching for cancer cures while the mighty federal government hinders almost everything science comes up with. Spreading the word about this book may cause the bureaucrats to loosen up a little.When, as is often the case, death is looking somebody in the face in the short future it makes little sense to prohibit well-founded experimentation, freely chosen, as an alternative to just marking off days on a calenda...

Review:An excellent example by Virginia Axline of how Pay Therapy can successfully be used in children. A book that can be read and enjoyed not only by those in therapeutic profession but also by parents and teachers. Read more
Review:This is a really interesting book and it opened my eyes to a lot of new ideas that I hadn't really considered before.
It's of those sort of books you pick up now and again when you have 10 mins here and there or great on a long plane ride when you actually want to learn something rather than just get lost in fiction. Good read. Read more
Review:Hard "story" to follow! Friends say it's not the format but the storyline itself, with all it's various angles. I'm on the fence... but not liking either, honestly. I felt like it was a distracted, disjunctive experience. Read more
Review:I had been diagnosed with breast cancer, and this book was recommended. I became a student of my desease and this book helped me assimilate questions to ask my caregivers as I made my decision on surgery. Highly recommended. Use it like a reference book. Read more
Review:Loved that I could rent this book for an inexpensive price! Glad that I can use for it for an entire semester and then send back. This book is very expensive new, but I rented for $45! Who the heck wants to keep a boring chem book... Not I!!!!! Read more
