191.The Back Passage by: James Lear April 17, 2008

Yes, it's entertaining and yes it's arousing and thus fulfils its own brief. But ... oh dear Mr Lear, on page TWO you identify the river that flows through Cambridge as the Isis. It isn't. The Isis flows through Oxford. The "old" name of Cambridge's river Cam is the Granta (like the literary magazine). In a confection such as "Back Passage", it's these details (easily checked on Wikipedia, for God's sake), that make the difference between a genre-subverting delight and a ho-hum "well ... it's sort of OK and ... sort of fun ..." Louis LaSalle's cover photograph is, as usual with Mr LaSalle, drop-dead sexy.

192.Social Work Skills: A Practice Handbook. 2nd edition by: Pamela Trevithick June 01, 2005

I am currently completing my Social Work BA (Hons) Degree and came across this text book by chance. I am so glad I did! It has been an invaluable book for me, each chapter is well written and easy to read without too much jargon, a problem I find in a lot of academic text books! It is written to be understood from a student perspective and I wish more text books were written in this way. I am on my first year but I feel this book will be a great help throughout my studies. My friend borrowed it from me and has since ordered her own copy as she was so impressed. I would recommend this book without hesitation as it will be an excellent tool in most of your assignments as I have found out!

193.Toxic Parents; Overcoming Their Hurtful Legacy and Reclaiming Your Life by: Susan Forward May 01, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £9.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £6.99 You Save: £3.00 (30%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £4.24
I ordered this book when i reached breaking point. Unlike other self-help books it wasn't too Americanized and gave plenty of examples of men and women who couldn't cope due to family disputes and manipulation. This book gave me the courage to face up to my difficult mother and deal with other painful memories. I also saw a therapist so the two things meant i could move on and start living MY life. Hurrah. A great book.

194.The Mistress Manual: A Good Girl's Guide to Female Dominance (Erotic) by: Lorelei November 01, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £12.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £8.39 You Save: £4.60 (35%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £6.59
I don't usually gravitate towards the dominance side of bdsm but I did have a lover at one time who wished to explore his own submissive nature. This book is an excellent education for any woman or man, for that matter, who is interested in experiencing female dominance. This is not a simple overview of female dominance or bdsm techniques but a true manual that takes you through the evolution of becoming a Mistress and the enacting of fantasy with your male partner. If you are new to the concept of female dominance this is an excellent book to guide you through the pleasure and pain of being the ultimate Nursemaid, Governess, Queen, Amazon, or Goddess. The book is broken into three main sections: Becoming a Mistress, The Mistress in Action, and The Five ... Read More:

195.The Omnivore's Dilemma: The Search for a Perfect Meal in a Fast-food World by: Michael Pollan May 21, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £7.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £5.99 You Save: £2.00 (25%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £4.05
An elegantly and thoughtfully written book on the modern food industry that feeds us. Pollan demonstrates a refreshing openness, sharing how his journey through mass produced, organic, and hunter-gatherer food systems affects him without ever sinking into sentimentality - even when shooting a wild pig his insight into what it means to be a hunter is superb. Without doubt one of the best books on food that I have ever read and one that will withstand the test of time, if for no other reason than the issues he covers of where our food comes from, how it is produced and what that might mean are as relevant today as they ever have been.

196.Standards and Ethics for Counselling in Action (Counselling in Action series) by: Tim Bond March 27, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £21.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £16.49 You Save: £5.50 (25%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £14.99
I found this book easy to read and very practical as a trainee Counselling psychologist/psychotherapist. It will be invaluable to anyone in or entering the field in dealing with the ethical dilemmas we all have to face with our clients. The book includes a very practical six step process to ethical problem solving and takes into account the codes of conduct/guidelines of our professional bodies as well as law, personal ethics, therapeautic model values, agency policy and moral philosophy. Really comprehensive and best of all easy to read and implement!

197.The Complete Best Man: How to Turn a Terrifying Prospect into a Piece of Cake by: John Bowden March 14, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £9.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £6.49 You Save: £3.50 (35%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £2.50
This book is absolutely brilliant. The author tells you all you need to know about a best man's duties (and his all-important speech!) in a straightforward and really humorous way. I found it invaluable and cannot recommend it too highly. Thanks, John, as you promised in the blurb of your book, you turned a terrifying prospect into a piece of (wedding) cake!

199.The Electric Kool-aid Acid Test by: Tom Wolfe February 17, 1989

Ken Keysey is a myth in his own time. The author of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's nest, the guru of LSD culture as the more gritty and real reflection of Timothy Leary (or I should rather say Leary was Keysey's reflection). Given this, it is only right that he should be the central subject of a book written about this culture and time, which is in essence what the Electric Kool-aid Acid Test is. This account describes the rise and fall of LSD culture from the early 1960s. Tom Wolfe, a prominent journalist of the time documents Keyseys journey from his early involvement in official LSD experiments and his establishment of an LSD community whose primary aim was to seek enlightenment using LSD as a tool, to Keysey's ultimate rejection of LSD. ...

200.The Non-Designer's Design Book by: Robin Williams February 21, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £23.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £14.39 You Save: £9.60 (40%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £11.70
I bought this book based on the stellar "Presentation Zen" by Garr Reynolds. (A must-read if you do presentations of any type). What I was seeking to glean from this book was how to improve the look of my PowerPoint presentations. Though Robin doesn't cover this specifically, everything she writes about can be applied to the design of the slides. The book is aimed at 'non-professional' designers. By this I mean those of us who design things in our work, but aren't trained to do so, e.g. flyers, event alerts, newsletters, reports, business cards, studies, articles, etc. I found it funny how often she tells us not to be "wimps" in our design choices. I mean she REALLY tells us a lot. But her point is we need to be bold, not "wimps", in our design choices ... Read More:
