Review:A gripping book!

The authors keep you turning page after page as you follow in the footsteps of the U.S. Army nurses of World War II.

"Suddenly, the barge Haskell was in stopped its foward motion, dropped its bow ramp, and GIs farthest forward disembarked into a cold, choppy sea and began wading toward the beach. Haskell was shocked to see tall men disappear up to their necks in the Mediterranean. She watched as two of the shorter nurses in her party followed the soldiers and san... Read more

Review:This book helps to give you perspective on all the changes your baby is going to go through. It gives reason to the sudden mood changes and promises that they aren't forever. It's not a baby 101 but a really great companion read. Read more

Review:I found the book very well written for the most part. However, and perhaps unsurprisingly, I found the content quite boring and devoid of, well, feeling. I can't help but think that a book written by the victim of a sociopath is always going to be far more interesting than a book by an actual sociopath because the latter is never going to be very good at engaging the reader at an emotional level, especially when the writer's goal is to convey her very nature as a sociopath.

Review:I am not a scientist; I know very little about science, not much about anything. Since the Nazis stopped me from attending school when I was thirteen years old, I have been trying to educate myself since the libration from a concentration camp. The Baron-Cohen's thesis in THE SCIENCE OF EVIL is that evil is caused by the absence of empathy. The lack of empathy is caused by abnormalities in the empathy circuitry in the brain.

I was captive in camps for three years and 123 members of my ext... Read more

Review:Amazing book! A very informative, interesting, and entertaining (humorous, too) read. In addition to the well-written content, one of the things I loved most was how much the author's passion for the topic showed throughout the entire book. From a technology standpoint, the use of fMRI for forensic neuroscience research was fascinating. This is a great read for anyone interested in criminal psychology, neuroscience, and health technology. Read more

Review:WOW! Awesome book, and keeps you interested from cover to cover... a must read! ok here's my last sentence to get the required amount of words in... (requirement amounts of words have actually kept me from writing more reviews) Read more

Review:Starts off well, but rambles a bit too much away from the intended points. Also gets repetitious at the end, to the point where I wondered if one chapter had been proof-read. An easy, quick read, but I would wait and get it at the local library, rather than purchase (Sorry Amazon) Read more

Review:How wonderful to have the perspective of the therapist in session. This classic gives us the forces that direct clinical choices in the moment. I gained a better understanding of the process of experiential Family Therapy. Thank you Napier and Whitaker. Read more

Review:Having read pretty much everything else Carl Sagan wrote, I was excited to receive a copy of *Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors,* expecting the usual thoroughly enjoyable read. And it was, for the first half. The account of the formation of Earth and the emergence and mechanics of life was fascinating, clearly and articulately written, and illuminating.

It was when the discussion switched over to the apes that things went downhill for me. The first intimation that something bad was happening... Read more

Review:As a mental health professional I have always pushed exercise (when appropriate) and the author takes the establishment to task for their underutilization of this powerful tool. Would be nice to have some cautions about "overtraining" and exercise addiction but a very good read and a great message. Read more
