Good reference book for someone involved with analyzing research or if you want to understand how research is analyzed. This was my required text book for Statistics 401/402 graduate level course at a top 10 ranking university. There are exercises at the end of each chapter and the answers of each exercise appear at the end of the book.

Great basic information that every first time dog companion should know! Buy this book BEFORE you buy/adopt a puppy or dog. Although I don't like the title "owning a Dog". I believe they are our companions, not to be "owned". However, I do applaud the author for warning people NOT to buy dogs from "pet shops" of any kind, as these dogs are bred in puppy mills. Puppy mills are horrible as the breeding dogs leed very sad depressing lives and are slaves to producing litter after litter after litter with little human interaction. Sometimes they don't even see the light of day. I see the results of these dogs all the time as I volunteer in a rescue group. They are poorly bred and often have many hereditary health problems that are not immediately seen (such as hip dysplasia, cancer, etc., not to mention mental scars if they have been used to breed litters in the mill). Also, this book warns against buying from "backyard breeders", these people often advertise in the newspaper. Go to the AKC website to find breeders that put many years and care into breeding healthy, well-tempered dogs. Or, better yet, go to a rescue group that has evaluated and trained the rescued dogs and will put you through an application process to make sure that you get a dog that is right for you and your family!

Great information for beginners wanting to train for a marathon, or just to get into shape! Don't begin running before reading this in order to avoid the potential for serious injury.

Condoleezza is an incredible person. This biography opened my eyes to how incredibly intelligent, self-driven, and well-rounded this woman is. She's mastered everything from piano to ballet and even has a love for football. Most importantly she has been an incredible asset to our country given her extensive knowledge of foreign affairs. This is a very interesting book as Condoleezza is an interesting person.

This is a great reference text for those in the food technology industry or chef students or those owning/wanting to own a bakery. It is a highly technical book, not for the everyday home cook. This was my required text book for a graduate level baking course Food Technology) at a top 10 university.

This autobiography is an inspiring story. Mother Teresa was an extraordinary woman and her story deserves to be told to inspire others to help those in need. If you are down in your life or feeling sorry for yourself, you should read this book.

This is a sweet story about life after divorce. It begins on a sad note but turns into a beautiful love story.

This is a MUST HAVE cookbook! Gorgeous book with beautiful pictures. The entertainment section is phenominal with centerpiece suggestions and menu pairings. The recipes are fabulous! I've tried several of them from the crab cakes to the chicken salad with cranberries.

This book is an interesting take on the possibility of time travel with quantum physics technology. Although the story-line tends to drag on at times, it is an incredibly imaginative story.

In general, there are good tips for potty training. However, the author uses the very non-politically correct word "retarded" rather than mentally challenged or Down Syndrome. I'm sure those with special needs children won't appreciate that poor terminology. Also, the author does not understand the medical difference between a "milk allergy" and "milk intolerance". She talks about a "milk allergy" but the discription is that of a "milk intolerance"! Big, HUGE difference.

This book covers practically everything you need to know about breastfeeding. Published by La Leche League International, you know it is a credible book! This classic book contains the latest scientific research on the health benefits of breastfeeding, the "how-to", support, encouragement, and guidance. In "The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding", it describes: How to prepare for breastfeeding during pregnancy; the effects on newborns of medications; how to maintain an adequate supply of milk; how to pump and store milk; how to recognize and solve common breastfeeding problems; breastfeeding a baby with special needs; how nursing mothers can exercise and lose weight safely; tips for the working mother; and current research on the bennfits of breastfeeding, including improving your baby's IQ. I was a breastfeeding educator and registered dietitian for the WIC (Women, Infant, and Children) Program and we gave out this book to mothers that participated in our breastfeeding peer counselor program. I later bought it when I was pregnant with my own first child. It is an invaluable resource to any new mom!!! There is an index at the end of the book whereby you can look up anything related to breastfeeding and quickly locate it in the book. References to published research appear at the end of the book as well to back up facts presented in the book. This book is 465 pages, including the index and references.
