.Testament of Youth: An Autobiographical Study of the Years 1900-1925 (Virago classic non-fiction)
City Travel Guides > Books > Antiquarian- Rare and Collectable
by: Vera Brittain

January 01, 1933
My mother having pressed me to read this book, I finally got round to it early this year. Thank God I did.

I cannot begin to put into words how much this book touched me. Vera Brittan must be an inspiration to all women; a strong and determined character who, despite losing almost everything to the War, did not give up. Vera Brittan was a young, ambitious girl growing up pre-war with aspirations to go to University (something uncommon for the day.) She succeeded in getting into Oxford to study English. Then the War came crashing into her life, and Vera's brother and friends get called up to fight. She herself finds her place, working as a nurse first in London, then abroad. Vera Brittan lost so much to this horrific War and yet ... Read More:

.When You and Your Mother Can't Be Friends
City Travel Guides > Books > Antiquarian- Rare and Collectable
by: Victoria Secunda

January 01, 1920
I would recommend this book to anyone who has ever had problems with their mother or simply need to understand mother-daughter dynamics. This interplay does not only effect the direct protagonists but it also has a profound effect on our choice of friends, partners and work. Understanding this relationship means starting the road to real maturity.
I myself being a person who is in therapy because of a dominating mother, found this book helpful. Reading about other women having problems with their own mother helped me feel less lonely and less of a freak.
The book is divided in various sections amongst which the various types of dysfunctional mothers and the different types of dysfunctional daughter. One the result of the other in a series of ... Read More:

.If You Meet Buddha on the Road, Kill Him
City Travel Guides > Books > Antiquarian- Rare and Collectable
by: Sheldon Kopp

January 01, 1920
I work as a speechwriter and I love this type of book because it's full of quotable stuff.

Lines like, 'You are free to do whatever you like. You need only face the consequences.'

or, 'You can't make anyone love you. You just have to reveal who your are and take your chances.'

He illustrates his theories using some of the Great Classics of Western Literature - Chaucer's Wife of Bath, Kafka's The Castle, John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress and Shakespeare's Macbeth.

The thrust of the book is 'The secret is that there is no secret'. We must all face our problems, there are no real gurus with all the answers. Life is complex, difficult, unpredictable, confusing - fun sometimes - harrowing and depressing at others. ... Read More:

I was diagnosed with Cancer around 4 weeks ago. This book helped me find my way thru the chemo and the various ops to cut the cancer out. This book should be given to all cancer patients upon discovery. With explicit chapters explaining how to engage your mind to help you heal as well as factors which will measurably improve your chances of success.

By actively engaging the knowledge within this book, I'm healing 10 times faster then the typical patient with my type of cancer.

APPLIED knowledge is power, buy this book, but more importantly, USE IT!

.Stick and Rudder: An Explanation of the Art of Flying: An Expalnation of the Art of Flying
City Travel Guides > Books > Antiquarian- Rare and Collectable
by: Wolfgang Langewiesche

January 01, 1944
I thought I had aeroplane control sussed as a student. A bit rough at the edges and things occasionally happened that I wasn't quite expecting, but good enough and nothing dangerous... Until I read this book.

Langewiesche has writtten a masterpeice on the "art" of flying and is still compulsive reading after 60 years in print. His references are occasionally quaint, such as comparing the "gait" of your aeroplane to the gait of your horse and referring to the elevator as "flippers" (the latter being much less misleading).

If only he'd also written books called "A Practical Guide to International Politics", "Crime Fighting Made Simple" and "Understanding Women" the word would be a better place ;o)

Just be aware that this book is Grade 4. Nowhere does it state the grading, and I was specifically looking for the Grade 1 book. Would have been handy to have this information displayed.

.How to Talk to Your Child about Sex: It's Best to Start Early, but it's Never Too Late : a Step-by-Step Guide for Every Age: It's Best to Start Early, ... Late : a Step-by-Step Guide for Every Age
City Travel Guides > Books > Antiquarian- Rare and Collectable
by: Linda Eyre, Richard M Eyre

January 01, 1920
This is the best parenting book I have ever read and used. It has more applicability and direct relevance to my parenting than any other.

I saw the author of this book interviewed on TV a while back and decided to buy this book. I was intrigued by his philosophy to teach your children at age eight, and to teach kids that sex is the "most wonderful, awesome thing in the world."

I read the book and decided to give it a try on our nine year old. We followed their directions and dialog pretty closely and even used the children's book "Where did I come from" as part of the discussion (this is the book they recommend). We made it a special night for just our son, taking him to his choice of restaurant and having the discussion in a secluded ... Read More:
