A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini Amazon Price: $15.57
Customer Review: The book is well written and informative (in terms of the country's history. I could not put down this book and am looking forward impatiently for the author's next book.
Deceptively Delicious: Simple Secrets to Get Your Kids Eating Good Food by Jessica Seinfeld Amazon Price: $16.47
Customer Review: I got this book to introduce my husband and me to healthier eating without it being too obvious, and so far I love it! The book's layout is extremely easy to follow, and it's peppered with little anecdotes from the author's family and extra tips. She provides thoughtful suggestions on how to prepare certain things, and allows room for experimentation (most meals allow you to choose between at least to vegetables to incorporate).
I haven't read Sneaky Chef or any books in the same category, but I'm impressed with Deceptively Delicious, and found it very helpful. The spiral binding is also a plus, as a cookbook will obviously be open quite a bit! I would definitely recommend this book to a friend (with or without kids!)
American Medical Association Family Medical Guide, 4th Edition by American Medical Association Amazon Price: $29.70
Customer Review: This was a great value. I was going to purchase this at a well-known book store for $29.99, however decided to hold off and check on-line. I was extremely surprised at the price I was able to purchase it for. Excellent Value.
American Dietetic Association Complete Food and Nutrition Guide by Roberta Larson Duyff, ADA (American Dietetic Association) Amazon Price: $16.47
Customer Review: I GIVE THIS BOOK A LOW SCORE BECAUSE IT IS NOT A VERY GOOD BOOK ON EATING.
THERE IS NO PORTION CONTROL INFORMATION OR SUGGESTIONS. PORTIONS ARE THE KEY TO A PROPER DIET. WE ALL [AMERICANS] EAT TOO MUCH. WE'RE ALL OVER WEIGHT AND SUFFER FROM MANY EATING RELATED DISORDERS. WHAT YOU EAT IS AS IMPORTANT
AS HOW MUCH. THE SHORT SECTION ON GASTRO-INTESTINAL DISORDERS FOLLOWS THE STANDARD ANTI-BIOTIC APPROACH THOUGH CULTURED DAIRY PRODUCTS [YOGURT,BUTTERMILK,ACIDOPHILUS, COTTAGE CHEESE, SAUER KRAUT ] AND FIBER DO A MUCH BETTER AND SAFER JOB OF CURING THESE PROBLEMS.
I THINK THE OBJECTIVE OF "MEDICINE" IN THE USA IS ILLNESS. BEING SICK IS BIG BUSINESS. PIG OUT AND OFTEN. BE SICK...ALWAYS SEE YOUR DOCTOR FOR ANOTHER DRUG OR TWO OR THREE...
The American Academy of Pediatrics New Mother's Guide to Breastfeeding (Ameri... by American Academy Of Pediatrics, Joan Younger Md Meek, Sherill Tippins Amazon Price: $6.99
Customer Review: Whether you're going to be a first time mama or not, this is definitely a must have book for any questions you may have concerning breastfeeding. I got this book while I was still pregnant and read it before my daughter was born. It was a good thing I did because I certainly didn't have time to read once she was born!! It became a very handy reference on multiple occasions later on too.
The Mocha Manual to a Fabulous Pregnancy by Kimberly Seals Allers Amazon Price: $10.46
Customer Review: This book has helped me through what I thought would be the most difficult time in my life. This book offered guidance and support when I needed it. It's a great read and it was hilarious to hear what other Mocha Mommas have gone through!
The Great American Sex Diet: Where the Only Thing You Nibble On... Is Your Pa... by Laura Corn Amazon Price: $25.50
Customer Review: This book is written for couples who want to become closer through increased intimacy. The basic premise of the 28-day diet is to schedule time alone at least 4 times a week for 4 weeks, and for each partner to orchestrate two of the events as a surprise for the other. The author suggests a variety of elements to increase anticipation and pleasure from basic fun to mildly kooky. Based on my experience with my husband, I would suggest the ideas and suggestions in this book will be considered successful if both partners want to increase their intimacy, and both get into surprising the other with events of the loving gestures she suggests. The results of the diet for us include more closeness and more communication.
Because Someone I Love Has Cancer: Kids' Activity Book by American Cancer Society Amazon Price: $9.58
Customer Review: This workbook has been a lifesaver with my daughter as her grandfather was recently diagnosed with terminal cancer. They are very close and this workbook has helped her work thru many of her emotions. We purchased this workbook together with the book, "When Someone I Love Has Cancer". Both tools have been very beneficial. She turns to them often when she is having a tough time.
Coyote Healing: Miracles in Native Medicine by Lewis Mehl-Madrona Amazon Price: $10.88
Customer Review: Great book if this is the first book of this author that you read. However, it is an extraordinary book if read after reading Coyote Medicine. As a follow-up read, the reader has a greater understand of the "whys". If you are a Native American or have worked in the field of mental health/ psychiatry -- or better yet both, you find yourself going, "Yes, you are so right!" often times as you read. Such a moving book. It touched not only my mind, but also my heart and soul. I could not put it down until I finished it.
