If you only buy one book about infertility, buy this one. It offers in-depth, solid information about male and female infertility problems, testing, hormone levels and treatments.

But what really separates this book from the others is that it includes a great deal of information on how to decide which treatments are right for you, as well as when (if) you should end treatment. They don't give any pat answers, but they do equip you with the decision making skills you need to reach a point of resolution.

I loved this book!

I was grateful to find this new book to address many questions and concerns I had. The content is thorough, the tone is very compassionate, and the suggestions are respectful of diverse values. There are lots of quotes from real people that bring a nice personal touch to a sometimes very clinical subject. I get a lot of comfort from just re-reading parts of the book that reassure me that others before me have taken and survived this journey. I don't know of any other book like it.

This book is the most detailed and clear encyclopedia on fertility issues that we've come across. Very thorough and reliable. Very up to date

I first found this book in it's first edition in 1994 after a trip to D.C. After picking it up from the library, I really wished that I had it when I was in D.C. I read it from cover to cover and learned so much about Arlington. I picked up the second edition during a visit to ANC in September, 2001. Every grave marker and memorial of renown is mentioned and the history behind the larger monuments is very good. It would be really nice if color pictures accompanied the text. I hope that Mr. Peters continues to update the book every now and then.

This is by far the best text devoted to the history of Arlington national cemetery I've seen. It begins with a detailed hisory of how the Washington-Lee family aquired the property, and the government seizure during the Civil war.. The property was used as a burial ground in part to prevent Robert E. Lee family from returning. The book goes on to list numerous notables now buried there and includes a brief but informative biography of each, most have pictures of the gravesite. Finally the book lists the many memorials inside and around the cemetery and the offical requirements for burial at Arlington.. A Fascinating book, I've read it several times and find something new every time I pick it up. Well worth purchasing for the history buff, or the casual tourist who wants to learn more about our most important national shrine.

The Low January Sun marks the debut of a gifted writer in the classic tech-adventure genre and with truly exciting results. Nuetzelfs finely crafted characters are people I would like to know. He lets us share their thoughts, fears and foibles while turning them into completely believeable and vulnerable humans. Steven Burr could be your brother, your best man or your best friend. He is driven by a selfless desire for wrong to be right, for the criminal to be vanquished and for the victim to be made whole.

Just when I thought I had the plot figured out, it skidded on two wheels and took off down another unknown road. The reader is whisked from place to place, even half way around the world, while the sticky and less than legal situation continues to deteriorate for Steve and his friends. I wonft spoil the ending. Itfll make your head spin.

This is a well crafted men's adventure that women can relate to because of the love interest and strong, likeable characters who, while above average physically and mentally, have flaws just like the rest of us. The varied locales are described so vividly that you think you're actually there and the plot twists and turns until the unbelieveable outcome. It is a little too technical in some places but that just adds to its quirkiness and enjoyability. I hope Nuetzel turns this into a series. It is a good read.

R. Conrad Stein begins "Arlington National Cemetery" relating the stories of some of those buried there, such as Ira Hayes, one of the Marines who raised the American flag on Iwo Jima's Mount Suribachi and former heavyweight boxing champion Joe Louis. Young readers will learn how the land was purchases in 1778 by John Parke Custis, son of Martha Washington, and eventually came into the possession of Robert E. Lee, who had married John's granddaughter Mary Ann Randolph Custis. In the spring of 1864 Quartermaster General Montgomery Meigs was ordered by President Lincoln to establish a new national cemetery. Meigs apparently despised Lee and chose Arlington just to deprive the Lee family of their home. However, in a cruel irony, Meigs's own son was killed later that year and was buried in what was once Mrs. Lee's rose garden.

Actually, most of Stein's book is about many of the notable figures buried in Arlington, from the first "Unknown Soldier" buried in 1921 to President Kennedy. Stein also tells about some of the monuments at the cemetery and how special approval is now required for burial at the site. The Cornerstones of Freedom series always does an excellent job of getting beyond what teachers and students may find in an American History textbook, and "Arlington National Cemetery" is certainly in that mode (although I would not be surprised if some textbooks do not mention it at all). One of the nicer things about this particular volume is that reading about Oliver Wendell Holmes, William Jennings Bryan, John J. Pershing, Jimmie Doolittle, George Marshall, Virgil Grissom, and Omar Bradley may well inspire young readers to go and seek about biographies to learn more about these famous Americans.

My father was buried at Arlington in 1987. Upon my visit for that service, and subsequent visits, I found very little in the gift shop and in bookstores at the time. As I am involved in the design profession as an art director, I am also a bit more choosy. I was drawn to this small, elegant book when I first noticed it on a shelf in a bookstore years ago. I purchased it on a visit to DC in 1991, and serendipitously, met and worked with the photographer, Cameron Davidson, years later on numerous years of commerical photography shoots, nationwide. I was amazed to learn he had photographed the wonderful book I chose above others to remember my powerful visit to Arlington with. Cameron's exquisite images truly evoke the feeling of visiting Arlington, and the writers words support his photos. His family has military ties and it comes across in the way he uniquely 'sees' Arlington. My only wish is that this book was larger, and still in print. Anyone with any connection to Arlington deserves to be able to obtain this lovely book.

I think this book was great. It taught me all about american sacrifice and of those who laid down their lives so that we may not live in a world with tyrrany and oppression but in a world of freedom and domocracy. GOD BLESS AMERICA!

As a 25 year resident of the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex, I must say this man knows his stuff. His ratings of the restaurants are dead on and his discriptions of the cities is not only factual but also amusing. There are things he found I didn't know about and are dying to check out. This is a must read for anyone who wants to know some little known facts about this great metroplex.

Wow! I was required to read this book for a history course, but was amazed at the depth and feeling that is gleaned from the immigrant experience. Whether for education, entertainment, or if you would like to gain perspective on ancestral roots, I highly recommend this book. In a semester of drab, boring history reading, this book stood out!

James Wright was of course one of the 20th century's great master poets. Each poem in this book bears his stamp of completely precise, beautiful communication. His writing can teach about the art. It does, though, seem kind of pretentious to me the way this one approach to poetry, which has its sense in it, is the only way for the words to be poetry, which James Wright must have believed or he wouldn't have done it that same way every time.

Above the River is so full of beautiful and painful lines, it's enought to make one believe in poetry again. His words are so evocative and yet also filled with the sadness of examination. Particularly good pieces are "Two Hangovers" and "A Blessing".

This collection of Wright's work includes his experiments with formal blank verse, translations of German poets, experimental prose pieces, and characteristic free verse that made him one of America's strongest national poets with a regional identity. Wright's topics range from the pastoral landscape of people, wildlife, and industry near his Ohio hometown to the philosophical challenges of individuality, death, renewal, and union. The gray mountains, coal trains, steel bridges and murky Ohio River take their places beside docile horses, musical insects and colorful characters. But never does Wright falter to the mere reporting of a landscape through his poetry; the vision is always fresh, exacting, tense, and redemptive. I have used his work with many of my English students, and the feedback is celebratory. If you are a fan of poetry or a student of the craft, familiarize yourself with this book. Donald Hall's wonderful preface does justice to one of America's most fondly remembered poets.

'Dance with the Devil' is a novel so relevent to today's current events, it's frightening! A political thriller in which Arlington potrays the conflicts between government and religion with intuitive skills & flawless composition. Brilliantly written and totally absorbing!! A movie deal is sure to follow!!!

Exciting, well-researced, fast-moving!!!

i normally read just sports books, but found this one hard to put down. the author mixes politics and religon intertwining them perfectly to create an ultimate showdown between the fundamentalists and government. i have already began to visulaize harrison ford in the role of of j c arlington's peter murrary. dance with the devil flows like no other novel i have read. it's irresistable.
