Summary: Everyone should own a copy of this book.
This is a truely excellent book, full of essential information for ordinary people trying to live a healthy and active life. Do yourself a favour..

Summary: Interesting, broad spectrum and highly recommended!
This is a unique way of presenting valuable anatomical information. It seems that this is a successful and accessible way in order the authors to reach and educate the masses. The book focuses on anatomy and how your major organs function. I think that you will learn at least a few curious tidbits of information even if you are quite familiar with how your body functions. I agree that this is a very big book but everything is down-to-earth and easy to understand and apply. The book is even appropriate to read with your children.

The two medical doctors who are the authors of the book made the extra step to give several tools such as questionnaires to access the degree of healthiness of your lifestyle. Most people will find after that valuable advice, which may improve how you feel and look. In general this is an original, appropriate for an average reader and quite valuable book, which I feel confident to recommend. Another bestseller "Scientfically guaranteed male multi-orgasms and ultimate sex" also reveals numerous key factors and processes that have a dramatic impact on your body, health and pleasure. That's why I highly recommend both books.

Summary: Quality Book
This book reads just as it was advertised. It is full of quality life information, lightly lined with humor to make it more reader friendly. A suggested read for anyone wanting to make themselves a priority.

	For Women Only: What You Need to Know about the Inner Lives of Men Publisher: Multnomah Authors: Shaunti Feldhahn
ISBN: 1590523172 List Price: $14.99 Amazon Price: $8.99 Usually ships in 24 hours Buy this book from amazon.com or from amazon.co.uk	Avg Cusomer Rating: 5 Reviews: Summary: This book is a "must read". I wish I read this book 50 years ago. I am now a widow of one year and wish for good marriages for my daughters, friends and relative. I've given away many of these books to bless relatives and friends with understanding of their spouses. This book is an eye opener. Summary: Great information I enjoyed reading this book. I thought it contained a lot of useful information, a lot of which I had never thought about before. I feel like it really did give me a peek into the lives of men that I did not have access to previously. This book is written from a Christian perspective, so you should be aware of that if you are not a Christian. However, the information is valuable, and you can easily read around those parts if they do not mesh with your beliefs. I also liked this book because it was short and to the point (you can read it in 1 1/2-2 hours) and also classy. No gross language or vulgar descriptions here. If you are interested in working on yourself to improve your marriage, I highly recommend this book. Summary: Excellent, insightful and highly recommended! I want to support the author that men since the Stone Age till today have proven that they at least deserve our respect, care and appreciation! Of course, this does NOT mean that you have to play the role of a wife-doormat! This book is mostly for married people and it should be out of discussion that you and the man next to you love, care and support each other. If this is not the case why did you marry or why do you stay in a dead relationship? I am shocked every time probably because I am a PH. D in Sexuality that wives "fake orgasms". If you CANNOT experience orgasms with him there are many things that can be done. For example I high recommend to all of my clients scientist Ritz' bestseller "Scientificlly guaranteed multiple orgasms and ultimate sex". However, if you fake your orgasms then you do it CONSCIOUSLY and there are NO excuses for that! This book does NOT preach to do anything like that because this is the MOST STUPID THING A WIFE CAN DO! This book shows successfully that men are down-to-earth, quite predictable creatures and it is not at all difficult to deal and manage with them. Moreover, men LOVE straight and to the point discussions. Only a small percentage will refuse to listen to you, if you want more in bed, in your relationship, etc. So use it and make sure that both of you get what you want and have a great cordial, sexual, mental and social life together! I think that this is the main message of this excellent book. I am a successful PH.D., mother, wife, housekeeper and lover. That's why I give 5-stars to "For Women Only" and Ritz' book. They can help you a lot. Summary:

Summary: Central Nervous System
The author really struck a chord with me. It's been my third week off coffee and I've feeling fantastic. The headaches are gone and no more acid stomach. I picked up a book called "The Truth About Caffeine: How Companies That Promote it Deceive Us and What We Can Do About It" The author, Marina Kushner, is a reformed coffee drinker, who discovered a secret that coffee companies don't want you to know. The effects of caffeine on the human body are diverse. This drug can cause Central Nervous System and cardiovascular disorders and can exacerbate or cause hypoglycemia, Peptic Ulcer Disease, and Gastro-esophageal Reflux disease. I am still shocked about what I read. Get this book.

Summary: TAKE CARE OF YOUR BODY AND IT WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU!
I first picked up this book and noticed Dr. Maoshing Ni is a Tai Chi Master. That was enough in itself to catch my attention because I am a firm believer in the benefits of Tai Chi and it has become a regular routine for me.

It is no secret Chinese medicine will benefit a person's health. Just look at the remarkable ages people from China live to be. Many look half their age and a shining example of good health. Alzheimer's and senility is also far less prevalent in their country. Some have more energy and vitality at 80 than we do at 20! Of course, compare our daily diet to theirs and that speaks volumes about why obesity is over abundant in our North American culture. Each of us has only one body to carry us through life, does it not make sense to explore proven secrets that will prolong our health? This book is invaluable and filled with Chinese wisdom carried down through the ages. Follow these suggestions and don't be surprised to see an increase in energy, a healthier body, and an improved feeling of over-all well being. Just don't expect to see the changes overnight. This book does not pretend to be a miracle cure like so many others promise. Here you will find simple words of wisdom and some ancient secrets from a professional in his field.

Summary: I have bought a copy of this book for every friend and family member I love
I felt smarter and healthier after the first ten pages. After twenty pages I felt foolish for being so reckless with my diet and my daily routines. This is smart stuff! And it is so simple (once you see it in black and white). Bring on the blueberries!

Summary: The most life-changing book I have ever read
Do you go to a regular grocery store? Do you think the government is law-abiding and fair? Do you go to a doctor? Did you know that these things and tons more told in this book are killing you? I have been recommending this book to everyone I can and trying to promote the movement that the consumer advocate Kevin Trudeau has started. Please read this book if you want to be healthier. It will open your eyes to corruption in the government, products that will make you healthier, and methods to cure and prevent diseases. I am not just saying this lightly; this is a must-read!

Summary: The Trudeau empire is falling apart
you read it here first: sales of this near useless book have so fallen off, trudeau has been forced to merge his company with another equally disregarded company based in boston ... many, many hard working, decent people who have done business with trudeau are now not getting paid -- he's stiffing them, as he has the american public for years...

Summary: Disapointed
I was hoping to gain some insight into new and different approaches to care for myself and my family that are more geared toward natural healing and homeopathy, rather than modern Western medicine practices. What I found, instead, were pages and pages of "Big Brother conspiracies". I should have known better than to take an author seriously who advertises on a late-night infomercial. Definitely not worth the money I spent on it. A much better alternative to this book is Cure the Incurable. Check it out.

	Wild at Heart: Discovering the Secret of a Man's Soul Publisher: Nelson Books Authors: John Eldredge
ISBN: 0785268839 List Price: $21.99 Amazon Price: $14.29 Usually ships in 24 hours Buy this book from amazon.com or from amazon.co.uk	Avg Cusomer Rating: 5 Reviews: Summary: Will stir up your Soul In this book by Johnn Eldrige you can help but fire up your soul. It is mans birth right to live as God intended Him to and not as society wants man to live. The book takes one back to the begining in Genesis and ends with the realization that we must chose our own path. Summary: Wrongly Dividing the Word of Truth John Eldredge has written a book that justifies his lifestyle of macho-ism by changing scripture to meet his own capitalistic intentions. This is Sacrilege 101. I can handle honest disagreement over the interpretation of scripture. I cannot handle someone intentionally mis-stating scripture in order to change the meaning of the passages in question. The Jesus of the Bible was a very different man than the Jesus of Wild at Heart... Summary: Real Problem, Bad Solution I was reading this book because a friend of mine recommended it to me. I thought the first few pages were really good. I thought as a guy who grew up in the inner city "wow hunting, rock climbing and all that crap does sound like fun." Then things got wierd. His material didnt seem very biblical at all. Man eating animals, diesases, disasters and other such wild things did not came about until after the the fall of man. His views on the genders dont seem all that biblical either. Two women in the book of Judges rescued Israel, and Jeremiah known as the weeping prophet exhibited alot of the "womenly" characteristics. So that really makes alot of his stuff questionable. He also advocates fighting and agression and says that Jesus saying to turn the other cheek is the most misused verse in the bible. Please John tell me how is this verse being misused, what is the real meaning of this verse. Sure I like being competitive from time to time but win or lose I try to remain humble. Nothing sure teaches self control, dicipline, humility, love, and Christ likeness quite like telling your children to fight back in school, way to go John Eldredge parent of the year. The thing that is really scary and I dont understand why this doesnt upset Christians that read this book is how he says that God takes chances. Chance and risk are completely irrelevant concepts to an all powerful and ALL KNOWING God. Not only is bad logic but it seems like John Eldredge just failed the test of basic theology. By saying this he also implys that men should be risk takers for God. All I have to say is the risk and faith do not go hand in hand. Risk means uncertainty, Paul says faith is certainty in what we dont see. Risk is when Peter tried to walk on water. Faith was when David took on Goliath, because when you read it in notice how David had complete confidence in God and had absoulutely no doubt in his mind. If any of you who are Christian think that doing the things God is telling you to do is a risk, please read Joshua chapter 1. Following the desires of the heart seems to be the main point of his book, however the heart according to the Bible isnt exactly a good thing. As a maturing Christian, I recognize that I (including my heart) am a work in progress. Until I am completly conformed to the image of Christ it would not be wise for me to follow the desires of my heart. Summary:

Summary: Reviews, anyone?
This is an excellent textbook, one that I have used in two of my Environmental Science classes (namely, Environmental Problems of Man [Bio 11], and Energy for the Future [Envi Sci 1].) While not completely without bias (which is mostly subtle, and not totally incorrect), the book offers a solid introduction to many environmental issues. The introduction chapter of the textbook states that environmental science is interdisciplinary, and the book is laid out accordingly. Chapters run the gamut from biology, chemisty, simple physics, and pure ecological common sense. An excellent purchase for any serious scientist and/or conscientious environmentalist.

Summary: hmm
I'm kinda dissappointed because the seller stated that this book is hardcovered. But when I received it, it was copied and paperback.

Summary: Required Reading
I bought this book for my class because it was cheaper at Amazon than at my school's bookstore. (shipping was cheaper too!) It's not an exciting read, but has some valuable information about how us humans are ruining the Earth with our SUVs and abuse of fossil fuels.

Summary: Don't Bother
Don't EVEN bother buying this book. If you can avoid the snores with all the medical mumbo-jumbo, maybe this book is for you. Bottom line is: don't fret about aging because it's going to happen to you and eat right, exercise and take your vitamins. So what else is new?

P.S. Dr. Weil writes that there are no anti-aging remedies yet he advertises Origins mushroom face creams--hmmm.....

Summary: Thoroughly researched, fascinating and valuable!
It is rare to find so fascinating, in-depth and of great value book! Dr. Weil did a good job in explaining many aspects of the process of aging in a pleasant, understandable and useful way. His style of writing is very calm, delicate and it is a pleasure to read his entire book.

I completely agree that your efforts and money will be better spent on turning your aging into a nourishing and valuable part of your life instead of fighting it as something malignant. I am sure that Weil's unique and very wise approach to aging will cause a paradigm-shift in his readers.

It is enough to look at him and feel his serenity, dignity, wisdom and sense of well-being which he radiates. All of these qualities reflect on his work and hopefully will guide you towards a better health, aging and spiritual depth. Another bestseller, which also reveals key biosubstances and processes is "Scientifcally guaranteed male multi-orgasms and ultimate sex" by scientist Ritz. I whole heartedly recommend both books.

Summary: I admit, I loved this book.
First of all I like the author's respectful attitude for old age, a rather rare attitude in our society... "Healthy Aging" is a good guide for adopting healthy lifestyle in order to avoid many ailments that are usually associated with old age. However, this book is not only a nutritional guide. Dr. Weil focuses not only on your body but he also gives a lot of attention to your soul. It turns out that from the point of view of longevity
