Let me start off by saying that I am a fervent cookbook collector AND a very active home cook/ baker. I have made many of the recipes in this book and they've all gotten raves. I was even able to substitute a bit in such ways as using soy cream instead of dairy cream, and the recipes still work!
The book doesn't have pictures, which I know annoys some, but I actually prefer it that way because that way there's more room for recipes. I also enjoy the "theme and variations" format because I'm always on the lookout for nifty ways to change up a recipe. I know some people are complaining about the variations because they're often simple, but personally I think it's nice to be reminded of all the small, subtle ways we can change recipes and create amazing flavor combinations.

Effect::: What Dr. Andrew Weil is to herbal medicine and Dr. Phil is to TV psychology, Dr. John La Puma is to culinary medicine.

I found this book through a link from Dr. Li's work on Angiogenesis. Even though not a clinician, reading it showed a correlation between the two's approaches.

The list of recommended ingredients for one's pantry includes some that may be challenging to find.

The book for a non-clinician seems a bit of a challenge to comprehend, but I'm not sure you need to understand all of the nitty gritty to gain value from reading it. But the real benefit would come from a disciplined commitment to use Dr. LaPuma's eight-week regimen as a behavior changing strategy. I don't see how picking and choosing specific ideas to embrace will have much benefit in the long run.

Having said that, there are a number of recipes that look really interesting. We're looking forward to experimenting with them when we're in a position to do so. Many of his suggestions for preparing meals quickly using off-the-shelf products are also attractive.

If you subscribe to the theory that any improvement is an improvement, I believe it would be possible to get value from a casual study of Dr. LaPuma's approach. Nevertheless, I suspect that real value will come a full blown immersion into it. It's worth checking out.

This Book Is Overdue!: How Librarians and Cybrarians Can Save Us All

NEW! This Book Is Overdue!: How Librarians and Cybrarians Can Save Us All with Free shipping

Effect:::

Buried in info? Cross-eyed over technology? From the bottom of a pile of paper and discs, books, e-books, and scattered thumb drives comes a cry of hope: Make way for the librarians! They want to help. They're not selling a thing. And librarians know best how to beat a path through the googolplex sources of information available to us, writes Marilyn Johnson, whose previous book, The Dead Beat, breathed merry life into the obituary-writing profession.

This Book Is Overdue! is a romp through the ranks of information professionals and a revelation for readers burned out on the clichÉs and stereotyping of librarians. Blunt and obscenely funny bloggers spill their stories in these pages, as do a tattooed, hard-partying children's librarian; a fresh-scrubbed Catholic couple who teach missionaries to use computers; a blue-haired radical who uses her smartphone to help guide street protestors; a plethora of voluptuous avatars and cybrarians; the quiet, law-abiding librarians gagged by the FBI; and a boxing archivist. These are just a few of the visionaries Johnson captures here, pragmatic idealists who fuse the tools of the digital age with their love for the written word and the enduring values of free speech, open access, and scout-badge-quality assistance to anyone in need.

Those who predicted the death of libraries forgot to consider that in the automated maze of contemporary life, none of us—neither the experts nor the hopelessly baffled—can get along without human help. And not just any help—we need librarians, who won't charge us by the question or roll their eyes, no matter what we ask. Who are they? What do they know? And how quickly can they save us from being buried by the digital age?

I have a number of friends who are librarians, most of them work at universities. I have another friend who, after taking a temp job at the Library of Congress in D.C., went back to school to get his Masters and be a librarian. It's because of him that this book caught my eye. I'm not a librarian myself, but my day-to-day job involves a lot of research and the occasional trip to brick-and-mortar libraries for periodicals, access to Lexus Nexus or any number of things the internet or my own personal references can't provide.

If you didn't already have a deep abiding affection for librarians I think this book will engender one in you.

Well most of the book will anyway. As you get towards the end, things get a little dicey. I'm a total techno-nerd, but the chapter on librarians in Second Life might lose somebody who doesn't get "sandbox" games or MMO's. But then again, when I was a kid, there were people who didn't get "card catalogs" and the librarian was there to help them. The point is, the Librarians are there to get the content into the hands of people who want and/or need it (except where it violates somebody's privacy or Civil Rights of course). In this day an age there are many ways to do that and new challenges that come with them. This book celebrates the conventional and unconventional aspects of what could become, an might already be in some places, an endangered but important profession.

Dr. Susan Love's Breast Book (A Merloyd Lawrence Book)

NEW! Dr. Susan Love's Breast Book (A Merloyd Lawrence Book) with Free shipping

Effect:::

Dr. Susan Love’s Breast Book has long been the bible for the newly diagnosed. In this completely revised fifth edition, it also becomes a guide for those at risk of getting breast cancer, survivors interested in the consequences of their treatment, and anyone who wants to understand the new research about how the local environment influences the manifestations and treatments of many different kinds of breast cancer. Major advances being made in genetic research today mean that prevention and treatment can work not only to get rid of mutated cells (through chemo or surgery), but also to change the environment around the cells (through hormone therapy, exercise, and stress reduction). Among other promising developments discussed are advances in imaging, recognition of breast density as a risk factor, and a section focused on “personalized medicine” to help determine what kind of cancer you have and how best to treat it.

Any woman facing a diagnosis, decisions about treatment, or concerns about prevention will find in Dr. Love’s book the information, guidance, and reassurance she needs.

My only disappointment with this book is that I think the 5th edition is coming out soon and I couldn't wait for it. There is a lot of easily understood information in this book and a lot of great philosophy underneath the content. As a nurse and a woman recently diagnosed with breast cancer, I have to say that there are many significant decisions that need to be made. Being a partner with your physicians in making these decisions is essential - and taking one decision at a time is critical to staying sane through the process. With links to her websites and other resources, this book is a great resource!

Knox's fine Classical Literature really deserves four and a half stars; I just can't figure out how to put on that extra half a star. Truly, this is a superb piece of editing-- Knox has chosen wisely , including well-known classical works, Homer, Aeschylus, Euripides, as well as more obscure works. The book runs the whole gamut of Greek and Roman literature, giving a tantalizing taste of each. Often the lesser-known works are the most interesting. I was fascinated. Knox also gives details about the lives and times of the authors that are interesting and engaging. Also, I appreciated Knox's interest in providing the most reader-friendly versions of the pieces. Sometimes he alternates translators to show how different people have read the great works, and in some cases, Propertius in particular, he offers great literary translations (such as one by Ezra Pound) alongside a more faithful translation. There is so much to say for this book. You will want to read more. There is one cause for frustration though, and that is in Knox's approach to giving liner notes. He gives all notes up-front in the introduction to each piece where a footnote or endnote might have been more convenient to the reader-- they must go back to the intro if they've forgotten what something meant. Other than smoe confusion with editorial notes, this book is wonderful and well worth your time.

I can't be the only Mom that gets frustrated by this. I go to buy early reading books and encounter ONLY TV- and movie- marketed characters in the books. I would like better choices.

Anyway, Balto was the only Step-3 book in the store that did NOT have a Princess or SpongeBob on the cover, so we got it. I expected to get some flack from the child who is afraid of dogs, but even he liked it fairly well.

Balto is a sled dog in 1925 who participates in a relay. The purpose is to bring medicine to an Alaskan town with a diphtheria epidemic, carrying it through a driving blizzard and terrible conditions. Balto had the second-to-last leg of the relay, but when it was time to hand off to another team, the other team was not there. So Balto and his team kept going. Since he was the dog who made it into town with the medicine, he got the credit for the whole adventure! We talked about the other dog teams and drivers who had to come through the deep snow, and how all those teams working together got the job done.

Here is what the first grader liked best about the story (his words):
+ There is a map. Maps are good.
+ The dog kept going.
+ The doctor helped the sick children.
+ I like the picture of the statue of Balto.
+ Balto was a hero.

Here is what the Mom liked in the story:
+ It would have been easy to quit, but the driver and his sled team kept going, despite miserable conditions.
+ The words were just challenging enough.
+ I liked the map, too.
+ The illustrations are wonderful. The book has fairly many pages (48), but the pictures keep up the excitement.
+ There really is a statue of Balto in Central Park, and you can google it to see the real statue (of course, if you live near NYC, you can see it live!)

As far as reading levels go, I would say level 3 is a pretty good judgment. My son was reading phonics readers and step 1 readers over the summer, and his confidence is building. This book did not frustrate him, but it took him a while to sound out some of the words. I had to help with the names of some towns and complicated words (Anchorage, diphtheria). The rest, he did himself.
