The GI Diet: Demystified

Advantages: Clearly explained diet that's certainly not a fad
Disadvantages: Not for everyone, some annoying comments

...honest, I only picked up The GI Diet because I was curious after seeing it mentioned so often in the health/fitness magazines I buy. Even in calorie-controlled diets, low GI foods are often mentioned as a good way to keep yourself feeling fuller for longer - crucial when you're cutting down on what you eat. I wasn't expecting a miracle diet, but I was surprised to find a sensible diet that isn't some fad based on pseudo-science (unlike other diets ...
...healthy plan. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Rick Gallop grew up in Britain and graduated from Oxford before emigrating to Canada, but - interestingly - his first career was in advertising and marketing. It was only after joining the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario that he was inspired to change his lifestyle. GI was actually developed by Dr. David Jenkins, but Gallop has successfully lost weight by using the GI and this is reassuring - this diet is for ...

Roper, Logan and Tierney Nursing Model

Advantages: Invaluable
Disadvantages: Expensive

This book is the ultimate bible for first level student nurses. When you first undertake your nursing studies universities tend to give you a broad reading list which can be quite confusing and somewhat intimidating. Choosing the right study aids particularly when books are very expensive can be an extremely daunting experience. The beauty of this book is that the Nursing model it discusses "The twelve activities of daily living" are practised in ...

Homo Not-So-Sapiens

Advantages: generally excellent
Disadvantages: the organisational chapters are rather dubious

...plentiful (and growing) evidence of irrationality in human thinking and behaviour. Although capable of reason, human animals are certainly not rational by default. Stuart Sutherland's book examines the body of evidence for human irrationality amassed during close to half a century psychology research. Although first published in 1992 , Irrationality still provides a wide (if by no means comprehensive) account of relevant research. Sutherland shows ...
...all) of the content of Irrationality was not new to me, but Sutherland did a good job of presenting the most significant phenomena in one lucid, concise and well written volume accessible to non-specialists but substantiated by descriptions of actual experiments (and not just their conclusions) and well referenced too. His language is elegant and understated. It's not a book delivered in a modern street-smart colloquial but in a highly literate, ...

Review of Irrationality - Stuart Sutherland

It's OK, Boys are Different from Girls!

Advantages: Positive, easy to red, helpful and enlightening
Disadvantages: None

...and enlightening books on child raising that I have read. Purchased three years ago when my son turned four, the advice contained within improved my parenting skills no end and allowed me to become more patient and sensitive to my sons needs. At around this time, my cute, affable little toddler seemed to be morphing into an aggressive, argumentative difficult little boy. Bedtimes, bathtimes and mealtimes became battlegrounds and if I hadn't had ...
...would have done. Raising boys explained the importance of hormone surges on boys behaviour and the frustration they feel at not being able to communicate there needs in quite the same articulate way as girls of the same age. It is a mistake to believe that boys need toughening up. They need just as much, if not more love and affection than girls, though not in front of their friends at school! It is a little sad to discover that baby girls are ...
