This book shows what every organ in a crocodiles body funtions as and shows brillant pictures and states many facts about crocodiles. This book is like no other and is worth every penny!!

This readable history of the brassiere is both fun and informative. Topics of discussion include the transition from the corset to the bra, how the bra reflected women's changing position in society, and the birth of companies like Maidenform and Victoria's Secret.

This book, originally published . . . is a must have at any price! I have always been a fan of Variety's distinctive style of reporting, & especially of their Film Reviews. This book covers the history of Show Biz in a manner, both unique, & entertaining, that will keep you turning the pages to the end. You will learn alot that you never knew before as well as possibly revisiting old favorites too. The pictures are a wonderful plus as well.

Frankly, I'm suprised that this title can still be found after 7 years, & pleased to recommend it wholeheartedly.

Understanding the path of occult practices as a way to enhance personal power - an unusual book for its genre with great appeal for students of occult science.

This book has short essays on some of the different peace-makers. It's a very nice way to get to hear about people who struggle for peace, and organizations and so on. Makes you feel that it is possible. And that it is happening. I printed it out of the internet- he's got a nice site too :o) I have read some books by and on some of these guys, but these essays proved very interesting- those on persons especially.

THIS IS A BOOK THAT SHOULD BE READ AT SCHOOL!

What Legends Are Made Of is an addictive read which pulls the reader in and then doesn't let go. All four stories are romantic, terrifying and surprising. I love the plots because they are very unique and described so vividly. It feels as if you are really in the fields or rooms. You can even feel the cold shivers because the author describes them so well. The characters are also awesome. They are real and you actually feel for them. The descriptions are very detailed.

Overall, I LOVED What Legends Are Made Of! It's fun and sexy.The twists at the end surprised me! Very fast-paced.

This book answers the question, "After all, who is having this baby?" And it's not doctors, nurses, or husbands. It's women.

So many books on childbirth are written by the experts--all of whom know birth by watching it. In this book, the authors feature women's stories of birth. Drawing on over 130 birthing stories, the authors show how a good birth is one in which the women feels she has been heard and is being honored. According to the interviews, not too many births actually meet these two standards, especially if the birth takes place in a hospital.

With good humor, good thinking and good writing, the five authors present readers with a short, sharp book that encourages them to consider women first when making decisions about birthing. It offers evidence and strategies to support decisions that honor women who are having babies.

This book takes back readers to Zoroastrian Iran and how Zoroastrian faith shaped Iran's culture toward Iranian ladies. Thie monothiesm faith Zoroastrian more and less has reflection in contemprary life.

Also, there is a bias that Iranian ladies are passive. However, the author of the book brought historical evidences that how Iranian ladies shaped Iran's history by going to war and more.

I teach at the college level on The Biblical Role of Men and Women. I found this book to be well written, and life changing to the people in my class. Highly recommended to all wanting to know how in the world that Jesus---The Prince of Peace---ever allowed his followers to become abused or abusers! HE DIDN'T! Violence is NEVER allowed! Get a copy of it, and the other books that speak against the misuse of Headship in relationships.
