Book Description

Clint Borgen has quickly emerged as a leading figure in global issues, but it was Geneva Nights that introduced him to the world. In this intriguing and incredibly revealing autobiography, Borgen describes experiences that range from the chaos of working in the Kosovo refugee camps to the colorful three months he was stuck in a European red-light district.

The fast-paced stint where Borgen traveled to 13 countries and nearly every major city in the U.S. takes readers through societies highs, lows and everything in between. Part social commentary and part laugh out loud funny, Geneva Nights captures the mindset of those motivated by experiencing all aspects of life. Amazingly, Geneva Nights was first published while Borgen was still in college.

5 out of 5 stars Geneva Nights Fan.......2005-11-13

I seldom can find a book that maintains my attention but Geneva Nights caught it and held onto it. It's delightful to read about the various places and types of people he encounters in such a short amount of time. I followed the Kosovo War closely on the news so it was kind of neat to have it personalized by someone who worked in the refugee camps. It's easy to forget watching images of conflicts on TV that behind every face is a story. I think he is very good at discussing the issues in a down to earth way. I would reccomend this book to anyone, but especially those who enjoy traveling and political issues.

I find it extremely refreshing to read a book by a public figure that isn't watered-down. This ones a keeper.

5 out of 5 stars Informative and Entertaining!.......2004-04-14

It's a fascinating book. He does a good job of discussing relief issues while keep things entertaining. It's a humorous look at a variety of different world's, from the eyes of a well-lived young man. Anyone who's traveled abroad can relate to this book.

1 out of 5 stars If there were no stars thats how I would rate this book.......2004-01-06

If I could get my time back that I wasted reading this book, I certainly would like to. This "Young International," who has spent less than a year overseas, yet has the nerve to speak for all Americans living overseas. No we don't say we are Canadians!

His writing style is one of stream of consciouness that jumps from one point in his life to another with few details other than the lonely nights he spent in European Brothels, rather than any pertinent information on the work he did with the UNHCR.

His constant diatribe on US Foreign policy is so uninformed, and simple minded. It appears he gets the majority of his information on US policies from left wing brochures that are handed out at protests, as opposed to basing them on fact.

As an American living overseas, and have for a while, in many different countries, I find his account childish and what you would expect to hear from a 21 year old, more concerned with "clubbing," than his job, history, or culture he was living in.
Do not waste your time or your money.

    Book Description

    The Take-Control Diet aims to make you the expert on your body.
    Dr. Ian Smith delivers the final word on dieting for the fad-weary reader who wants the truth about permanent weight loss. The Take-Control Diet explains the real science of how your body manages energy, why crash diets and trendy programs sabotage your chances of success, and how you can get off the yo-yo ride forever.
    Dr. Smith offers a diet and exercise program that allows you to eat without feeling deprived, or adopting an entirely specialized diet, and that helps you use both anaerobic and aerobic exercise for maximum weight loss results. He explains how to calculate your own individual food-and-exercise equation in order to lose the ideal amount of weight per week.
    The Take-Control Diet equips you with the facts so that you can approach your health and fitness goals psychologically fortified for the task. Understanding common myths about dieting will give you the knowledge you need to resolve your weight issues for good. Did you know that, contrary to the recommendations of many popular diets, eating too much protein could seriously damage your health? That it is impossible to convert fat to muscle? That starving yourself slows your metabolism and causes your body to store energy as fat? That no foods appreciably increase your metabolism? That chronic, yo-yo dieting makes weight loss increasingly difficult?
    Dr. Smith explains the causes of overweight, the health concerns of dieting, how metabolism and genetics factor in to weight control, and what you can do to work with, rather than against, your body’s processes. Many diets dictate a program that might work—if it works at all—only as long as you can adhere to radical and unnatural habits. The Take-Control Diet, instead, equips you to design your own eating and exercise plan—one that accommodates your preferences, your daily routine, and your particular weight loss hurdles.

    Losing weight will not only help you look your best but also reduce your risk of heart disease, diabetes, and cancer—in addition to improving your overall energy level and ability to fight illness. Dr. Smith offers a plan, based on extensive research and his personal work with patients, that respects your intelligence and empowers you to win the battle with overweight.
    The Take-Control Diet is one hundred percent free of unrealistic promises, poor science, and far-fetched gimmicks—and one hundred percent yours for life.

    -- critiques popular dieting programs, medications, supplements, and home tests

    4 out of 5 stars Fact-filled, plus common sense.......2007-10-06

    First, reading some of the other reviews, some people are reviewing the wrong book. Any review referring to "phases" should be completely discounted because it is a review of Dr. Smith's Fat Smash book.
    Second, Dr. Smith isn't just some guy on tv, he's a Harvard and Columbia grad. Not too shabby.
    But to the book...this was the first "diet" book I read that really made sense for me. This isn't a crash diet, you'll lose a moderate amount of weight by making simple changes. He really spoke to, as the title says, taking control of your life. You can't lose weight just by hoping or wanting it bad enough. You have to work at it.
    The book has lengthy, but useful, exercises to find out things like your current level of consumption and activity. It is basic, yet teaches a lot of things that really need to be known to have a healthy weight loss plan. I've been on a lot of plans, read a lot of books, but never had it broken down for me in such a way that a) it made a lot of sense, b) didn't talk to me like I was a simpleton, and c) made it seem doable and not extreme.
    Exactly what I needed.

    5 out of 5 stars STOP HATING.......2007-09-20

    Whether he finished his residency or not has nothing to do with the content and quality of his books. I started the Fat Smash diet and in 2 months I lost 25 pounds.

    I have to admit, the diet seems harsh at first, but it for those who are seriously committed to losing the weight. If you are not serious, then you won't lose the weight. Don't blame this diet if you fail, blame yourself. The plan is well written, and it does not require you starve in order to lose weight. It not only a dieting tool, but it educates you to live a healthy life.

    For all the haters trying to discredit Dr. Ian, just stop and think for one minute. You are probably many of the suckers who purchase items from infomercials, where the medical doctor promoting the ab roller, excercise machine, or weight loss gel is actually a podiatrist or better yet a chiropractor.

    Get over it. If you are not ready for the diet, if you are not going to change how you eat, and if you are not going to excercise, stay on the couch. I have the hardest time losing weight, but I stuck to the plan and I smashed it.

    3 out of 5 stars Read the Book First.......2007-07-12

    Read the book first to make sure you understand what is involve, especially the Phase I plan. This is the plan where you cannot have coffee, pop/soda, and juice. Just water, 1% or skim milk, and herbal tea with you meals (are to drink water as much as you can). Make sure you eat plenty of veggies that you like, becauses everyone don't like all veggies.

    1 out of 5 stars Oh, please!.......2007-06-28

    I agree with the reviewer who said Dr. Ian Smith is a little too hyped for someone so young and lacking in real medical credentials. He reminds me a lot of Barack Obama----the good looking "rock star" of the Democratic Party---all fluff and no substance.

    Also, to all of you who keep saying...."great book, it changed my life. Buy it!" Give it a rest please. When did you start this diet? How much have you lost? How long have you kept the weight off? If you haven't lost any weight on this diet and kept it off for at least a year, your reveiws are worthless.

    2 out of 5 stars This diet is too strict for the average dieter........2007-01-11

    You gotta love Dr. Ian and overall this book is very well written. But the problem is the diet is very, very, VERY strict and harsh. I purchased this book as a Christmas present for my 22-year old daughter. She is an athlete and an honors student, and only wants to lose 25 lbs. But I truly see no way that she would be able to ever stick to the strict letter of this diet. So I feel like I am setting her up to fail and the very first diet experience of her life will be failure. Not a good thing. I do not recommend this book for the average dieter. You REALLY need to be a strict dieter who can live on total fruits and veggies for 9 days if you want to use this book. You're not even allowed to have a cup of brown rice until the 2nd phase. Good luck.

        Americans are enjoying more game and fresh foie gras than ever. This happy state of affairs is due largely to D'Artagnan--the country's main purveyor of game and domestically produced foie gras--and the zeal of its game-enthusiast owners, Ariane Daguin and George Faisan. The two, joined by food writer Joanna Pruess, now offer D'Artagnan's Glorious Game Cookbook, a long-overdue look at game cookery today. The book presents more than 200 classic and contemporary recipes, many collected from some of the country's best chefs. Game novices and those wanting to explore more fully the wide range of game products now available should be delighted.

        Chapters devoted to game birds and farm-raised poultry, game meats, foie gras, sausages, and charcuterie offer a rich range of modern, approachable recipes including grabbers like Roasted Capon with Chestnut Honey, Dixie Duck Confit, Venison Chili with Apples, and Partridge, Pear, and Wild Mushroom Strudel. More traditional dishes, like Poule au Pot or Moroccan Squab Pie, and foie gras specialties including foie gras terrine and Pan-Roasted Foie Gras Roti with Sauternes Sauce anchor the collection. Anecdotes such as "A Passionate Grouse Lover's Challenge," interviews with game growers and providers, cooking tips and how-tos, as well as a foie gras primer and liver lexicon entertain and inform. Once considered beyond the reach of most, game today is an ever-more available, affordable, and delicious treat, a point the book brings home in dozens of enticing ways. --Arthur Boehm

        Book Description

        Ariane Daguin and George Faison, owners of DArtagnan, have been supplying top chefs with game and foie gras for almost fifteen years. The authors provide both classic and contemporary recipes for game ranging from basic roasted birds to elaborate enhanced dishes. The recipes often lighten traditional game preparations without losing any of their special character.

        5 out of 5 stars Scrump-diddly-umptios!.......2001-11-15

        This is not a book for beginners as it refers to demi-glaces, reductions, and terrines as integral parts of the dish. However, for those of us with the knack, this tells you everything you need to know about roasting Bambi or Daffy or multitudes of critters named after former vice-presidents and cities.

        If you think you will doze off if you eat anymore chicken, then it is time to venture into the exciting world of game. Get to know what complex flavors are and kick your cooking level up a notch (to borrow a phrase).

        We are grown-ups now. It is time to experience adult flavors. You will love this book and your appreciation of food, wine and therefor-life itself will rise.

        5 out of 5 stars Easy to follow recipes and a thorough introduction to game........1999-10-27

        The book covers recipes for game birds (chicken, capon, poussin, duck, goose, guinea hen, ostrich,quail, etc.) game meats and foie gras, sausages and charcuterie. What is special is the detailed instructions that make it very easy for even an inexperienced cook to produce a delicious and different meal. Sidebars add interesting information on techniques, definitions and facts about game. The pictures are beautiful and the text well written. I enjoy reading the book as well as cooking the recipes.

          This book shows the different kinds of whales and dolphins. It also gives detailed information on their present situation including their endangerment. It is a book which clearly aims to be more than a simple illustrative guide but to make the case for protecting these living wonders of nature.

          Book Description

          The Handbook of Doll Repair and Restoration was a first when it was published in 1979. It is still a first--in its completeness and detail. This is a responsible book, subscribing to the view of true doll collectors: Do nothing to an antique doll that will compromise the authenticity and reduce its value. Whether a doll is a museum rarity, one of many common antique dolls, or a collectible, Marty Westfall's book will lead you through procedures to restore it. The exquisitely detailed step-by-step directions make it possible for collectors, dealers, even those who own just one or two treasured dolls, to make necessary repairs without reducing value.

          The techniques that author Marty Westfall used from 1973 to 1979 and set down in this book are just as practical today. Her aim was to help the beginning restoration artist, and the information is just as valuable to even the most sophisticated collector. In easy-to-follow directions The Handbook describes how to set stationary and sleep eyes, restring compo bodies, refurbish old wigs and make new ones, repair ball-jointed bodies, clean and repair kid bodies, make cloth bodies, mend chips and cracks, replace missing fingers and toes, and cope with other damages. The Handbook encourages those who wish to learn the art by taking them by the hand and showing them how to get started. At the back of the book is an updated list of suppliers for those who lack ready access to sources of repair materials. Other helpful information includes a chapter on how to distinguish between a legitimate replica doll and a fake made with the intention to deceive and another on how to determine whether a doll has been mended, even if the repair is so skillfully done that it is not readily apparent.

          Thousands who began using this book as a guide have gone on to develop profitable careers in the restoration field. The same procedures to restore dolls work in restoring other porcelain objet d'arts, such as figurines. Many who began as doll makers have combined their creative art with restoring antique dolls. By learning the techniques in The Handbook, they have improved their skills in creating the valuable antique dolls of tomorrow.

              Book Description

              This book is about what to really expect when you're expecting: A baby, emerging through pregnancy, catapults an in-love couple into parenthood. The parents' life of intimacy and each parent's sense of self are stressed to adapt. "Oh, My Gosh, We're Pregnant!" reveals not simply what the mother needs to expect but, for the first time, both parents' often unconscious psychological development---along with concepts for successful coping.

              5 out of 5 stars Best Book for new Parents.......2007-02-12

              This is a must have for all new parents. Dr. Peebles explains in a fun informative way what life will be like with a baby- both inside and outside. A perfect new baby gift. 10 stars.

              5 out of 5 stars A round of applause for Paul Peebles, M.D........2002-05-24

              A round of applause for Paul Peebles, M.D. for sharing his 30+ years of experience and observations with us in Oh, My Gosh, We're Pregnant! As a new mom who has read everything I could get my hands on, I'd say this book is a must-read for expecting and (very) new parents.

              Peebles identifies the ups and downs of pregnancy and our newborn's early days, for both mother and father, and offers valuable problem solving and coping mechanisms. Minor irritations of occasional wordiness and cumbersome structure are more than offset by terrific content. Highlights include calming techniques (that actually work!) for the high-strung newborn, personal and professional anecdotes, and a continuing emphasis on the loss of control new parents feel, leading to, especially among us control freaks, an incredible sense of vulnerability that comes with the new baby in our lives. By preparing us for this loss of control (of everything from the health and temperment of our newborn to the state of our house and time of our dinner), Peebles equips us to feel confident and enjoy pregnancy and the early weeks of our newborn's life.

              I can honestly say I've enjoyed my role as new mom more because of this book. Buy it, read it cover to cover, and pass it on to your pregnant friend.

              5 out of 5 stars A gold mine of information for new parents.......1999-09-04

              As a pediatrician with forty two years in primary pediatric practice, I find this to be the best book I have read for new parents..

              The author describes the ups and downs parents have as they experience life with a new baby. No matter what one's mood or reaction is, readers will find information here that will convince them that they are quite normal. He even mentions that many men have morning sickness and food fads during a wife's pregnancy!.

              Interspersed with the description of the common moods experienced by new parents, there are many important practical recommendations for caring for a new baby. I can think of no better gift for expectant couples.

              5 out of 5 stars This book is a friend - indeed.......2001-08-06

              This book is quick and easy to read, and gives so much. It's like going through a pregancy with your best friend, who is just a little ahead of you. I would have loved to have this book when I was pregnant, and was desperate to get my hands on anything I could to guide me through these uncharted waters. Now, having been through the experience, I could relate to so much about what the authors went through. I even laughed out loud at parts. Although, as Cindy states, every pregnancy is unique, any expecting couple can relate to the emotional highs and lows of a first pregnancy, and the intimite journey of this couple. If you are expecting, I highly recommend this book. If you know anyone having a baby, it's a wonderful gift that they will definitely appreciate.

              5 out of 5 stars You will love this book!.......2001-07-17

              If you are pregnant or looking for the perfect gift for a mother or father-to-be....We're Pregnant! is it! The lucky recipient will get wonderful book that takes all the mystery out of being pregnant and giving birth. When they read this book it will give them the heartwarming feeling of being pregnant at the same as their best friend. Cindy and Eugene Kappler share their personal journey of the daughter's conception through birth. It is filled with honest experiences and funny stories. You will love this book!

              2 out of 5 stars Polly Sunshine gets a present Hooray!.......2001-05-11

              Great concept but is it realistic? I don't wish bad things on anybody but where are the nagging doubts? The screaming fights? The God awful labor pain? Authors are a little smug for my taste and I kept waiting for a family feud or something I could comiserate and relate too. My husband will not get to read this book lest he think having a baby is too easy and pretty much my problem. I'm not sure these people are real. Was this written by a computer programmed by a man?

              5 out of 5 stars The most fun that you'll have reading about pregnancy........2001-05-01

              I had so much fun reading this book. It is the best (story) book about pregnancy that you can find. Cindy and Eugene are down to earth people that you start to like on page one. This is a book that I will recommend to friends that are expecting for years to come. In this book she really makes you feel like she is your friend and that you are there with her throughout the entire pregnancy. Thanks Cindy, for telling us what others won't

              1 out of 5 stars dont buy.......2001-04-23

              What book did the other reviewers read? That is a real waste of money, it is boring, there is no real information, the thoughts of the father are usually exactly the same as the mothers and both seem to have no idea what is going on. I am really happy that I do not have a colleage who announces her pregnancy over the loudspeaker system and I can understand her doctor in not being to excited about a woman who wants to become pregnant but does not know how to do a home pregnancy test. So much for intelligence. She also gains far to much weight, resulting in a difficult birth, a connection she never, ever sees. I just got angry in having spent my money on that.

              I received this book 22 years ago when I was pregnant with my first child. I have given it as a gift to each friend who became pregnant. It is funny but oh so true. It makes you realize that you are not the only one going through it but in a very funny way.

              4 out of 5 stars Great Gift For An Expectant Mother.......2001-03-06

              This is one of Lynn Johnston's earlier works before she became famous for her cartoon strip "For Better or Worse".

              Unlike the strip "For Better or Worse" which is centred around the Patterson family and usually has a continuing story line this book contains one panel gags (101 in total) and has a variety of characters in it. Although for those who have followed her cartoons you may be able to find a young Elly & Michael Patterson in the book.

              The book has a lot of funny gags told from a variety of perspectives including from the first time parents, expectant mothers, fathers, siblings etc.

              It would make the ideal present for someone who is expecting or for someone who is a Lynn Johnston fan.

              5 out of 5 stars The best pregnancy book........2000-02-27

              Throw away the Brazelton. Throw away the Spock. Buy the set of Johnston books on pregnancy, childbirth, and early parenthood. You will gain far more wisdom. Well, maybe not wisdom. Certainly perspective! Lynn helped me and many other incipient/new parents put the whole "kid thing" into perspective. You gotta laugh at the whole situation from time-to-time.
