WATER EXERCISE MADE EASY.......2007-09-13
We havet a lap pool in our home and actually wanted DVD to show us a few acqua exercises that would suit our needs (sports and medical injury), but as no DVD exists we searched for a book. There are many to choose from and in "reading through" some of them, decided on the Water Exercise because it covered a multitude of health needs. When it arrived we were pleased as it is extremely easy to follow and the illustrations are very helpful. We made the right decision!
water exercise.......2007-08-23
i had a hip resufacing done 5/08/2007; this book was very helpful in showing me exercises to add to what i already know toward rehab. well laid out with good pictures that help to illustrate the written text. this is a good buy for anyone who's looking for guidance during the hip surgery/rehabilitation phase.
Aqua fitness.......2007-02-23
This book was fantastic. It has great exercises and therapy exercises for the water. I use them all the time now. I would buy it again if I had too.
pros and cons.......2006-07-13
The book is written simply and effectively in helping you understand how to do the exercise and the illustrations are good but I was surprised when I got it to see how many required equipment (like little hand paddles). I was hoping for just straight exercises with little to no pool aids needed. Otherwise it was good.
review of book.......2006-02-18
It was OK. A lot of good exercises. Except you have to have
equipment to go with a lot of the excersise, which I don't even know where to get
Book Description
A delightful fusion of Mediterranean and Slavic cuisine, this cookbook is a treasure trove of mouth-watering and heart-warming traditional and family recipes as passed down from generation to generation. Compiled from the parish of Holy Resurrection Serbian Orthodox Cathedral in Chicago.
Customer Reviews:
Absolute classic.......2000-05-13
This book not only is an invaluable factual resource for anyone interested in turtles, it's written in Carr's delightful and completely readable style. He says, for example, about people who intentionally run over turtles, that there "is probably nothing much that can be done about these people except to hope they skid." A great book for anyone who loves nature, turtles, or just good writing.
Book Description
Beautiful Braids (over 700,000 sold) owes its steady success to the simple fact that, as the most affordable and complete book on braiding on the market, it represents incomparable value. From elegant chignons and classic English braids to the sporty Duchess braid, these elaborate styles will continue to turn heads.
Customer Reviews:
braids.......2007-07-03
it was alright, nothing what i expected. i thought it would be more details, it's easy braids that i can already do. I wanted to learn cornrows and stuff. it's ok though
this book.......2006-08-13
In the picture and discriptions on Amazon I feel I was missled
I thought is was a nice big book with nice pictures, or at least thats how they made it seem. When I got it it was just a tiny little black and white book with drawings of braids.
good luck
I will continue to shop at Amozon
Beutiful Braids-Step by step guide..........2006-07-06
Having had short hair most of my life, I had little braiding experience to help with my daughter's long hair. This guide was to the point and illustrative. I found what I needed to know to start practicing new styles to give my daughter a unique and well put together look.
too basic for me.......2003-03-13
Very very basic beginner's "I've never braided my own ponytail before" kind of book. Not at all as described ("100 black-&-white photographs", "these elegant braids will be turning heads...") Puhleeze!
Better books available.......2000-10-02
This book wasn't what I expected. It is small (4x6 maybe) and doesn't contain anything I didn't already know. A better book is "Great Braids" by Thomas Hardy, also available on Amazon.

This is one of the best gardening books I've read........1998-02-05
This book show great pictures. It has great text about each plant. What soil type, sun requirements, and a host of other very helpful information. I've looked to buy this book for the past 6 or 7 years
Book Description
The Chicken Soup for Little Souls series (more than 400,000 copies sold) brought the magic of Chicken Soup to young readers with heartwarming stories of love, friendship, and kindness that parents could read to their young children. Now these classic books have been resized and rewritten into intermediate-level readers that kids 6 and up can read themselves. While the text has been shortened and simplified, it retains the enduring Chicken Soup message of sincere and heartfelt virtue. The new reader series starts with two books: In The Best Night Out With Dad, Danny can't wait to go to the circus with his dad. It's going to be the best night ever! But the night has a surprise ending when Danny meets Victor in the ticket line. In The Greatest Gift of All, Izzy finds out that her parents won't let her go to Pine View Camp. Her summer is ruined! But things begin to change for Izzy when she starts to do Give-back Time with Grandpa Mike and meets the Braids Girl. With a lower price point, friendly format and the power of the Chicken Soup brand, these books will inspire children as they teach the joy of reading. Key Features The previous books were for parents to read to children; the new books have been shortened by approximately 25% and redesigned to make them appropriate for intermediate readers (ages 6 and up). The books contain 4-color illustrations throughout, including many full-page bleeds. The recognizable brand, along with the lower price point and smaller trim size, make this a perfect impulse purchase for busy parents.

Chicken Soup for the Soul fan.......2005-03-22
Finally! I don't know what took so long, but it's about time Chicken Soup did a book for Single Parents! Chicken Soup for the SINGLE PARENT'S Soul is an awesome book, and one of the best Chicken Soup books yet. I especially love the stories "I Love You Daddy," "Divine Order," and "Small Moments." There is also one from a boy who is autistic called "Forgiving My Dad" that is really beautiful. I bought the book for myself (I'm a single mom of three) and bought it for two of my single parent friends. It is a great way to say "I believe in you" and "you're going to make it."
A Single Father is inspired.......2005-03-22
I thought the "Chicken Soup for the Single Parent's Soul" would be more for single moms, but was really surprised to find it a great book for single dads too. As a newly divorced single dad with six children, I need all the inspiration I can get - and this book has it! Some of the stories were real heart-tuggers, others made me smile and feel good, and some just made me laugh. All in all, whether you're a single mother or single father, this book is a terrifc read, especially for those times when you're really overwhelmed...as single parents, that can be quite often!

Great Book!.......2004-04-05
This is a great book for anyone interesed in becoming a Trooper or other Law Enforcement Officer. It helps people understand the inherent risks of the job, but it also shows the amount of respect the North Carolina Highway Patrol receives (and deserves). It details several deaths of NC troopers (such as Giles Harmon and Bobby Coggins). It is an older book and very difficult to find copies of now.
If you have ever thought about being a State Trooper.......1999-12-29
This book is great if you have ever thought about a career in the Highway Patrol. Just realize though it was written back in the 1980's and things have changed alot in the orgainization as a whole, but the people are still as crazy and dangerous as ever. The Stories are real and you can't put this book down.
Trooper Down. Life and Death on the Highway Patrol.......1999-12-29
This is an excellent guide to discovering who stands behind the badges of the highway patrol. I have a new found appreciation for the men and women who risk their lives every day. Even when they have to do so in an environment of decreasing respect and increasing firepower. I strongly reccomend this book.
A Page Turner.......1999-08-07
A great read, hard to put down once you start
This is an excelent book........1999-07-04
I am 15 years old and from I was 10 years old I wanted to become a state trooper.I thought that the State Patrol was a safe life stile,then I read the book and I discoverd that the patrol is a dangerous buisness and bits of the book was very frightening and sad. Eveyone should read this book to see what troopers are realy like.
