A Dictionary of Sociology (Oxford Paperback Reference)

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Science and Nature
by: John Scott, Gordon Marshall

August 11, 2005
This is an excellent book which helps give insight onto many subjects which really help understand how we work as people, it's highly reccomended reading which will make you look at the world around you in a completely different way.

The reason why it doesn't get the fifth star is because not all sociology related subjects are covered (not much of a problem as I can only think of two at the moment and when the book does give information on the subject it's really interesting and will keep you hooked)The next problem is that this book's language can be quite complex (but that's not much of a problem as a dictionary is easily accesible).

Is this book worth the money? Well, let me give you the answer, on Amazon this book ... Read More:

Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Science and Nature
by: Dan Ariely

March 03, 2008
Blame Malcolm Gladwell - but after Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking social psychologists of the type he featured in that book have been coming out of the woodwork to publish in the pop science market in alarming numbers figuring, reasonably, enough that there's a bit of money to be made on the side. I'm guessing royalties from articles in the International Journal of Psychology would pale in comparison.

One of the latest is Dan Ariely, whose unique selling point is a horrific accident he sustained as a student Israel which left him with burns to 70% of his body. His book does what it says on the tin, by way of explaining a number of social experiments that he and his colleagues have run in the last few years, loosely themed ... Read More:

July 01, 2004

I CANNOT SPEAK HIGHLY ENOUGH OF THIS BOOK. THIS TRULY IS A LIFE CHANGING BOOK!

I have read many books on spirituality but this book is still my favourite.
My advice - If you are new to the concepts introduced in this book then, please just be patient and openminded to explore a different belief system. Then see what it can do for you :)

Thank you Louise Hay for helping me to go within!

The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat (Picador)

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Science and Nature
by: Oliver Sacks

November 07, 1986
Fairly well written, and as someone who has no prior background in this field, it was easy to understand and descriptive enough to be interesting. it was not too technical that i got bogged down with terms, unlike some other neurology books i've read.

Introducing NLP Neuro-Linguistic Programming

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Science and Nature
by: Joseph O'Connor, John Seymour

2003-01
It is a good book to get you started. Covers alot of the models in NLP and is set out so its easy to read and understand. But as i said a very basic book.

If you want some good advice as a rule of thumb on getting books on NLP avoid the new stuff. Stick to the earlier books by Bandler preferably the first ones for e.g 'From Frogs to Princes ( is a must if your serious about this subject ) not only are they humerous but are like the bible of the subject and come from the pioneers, the fountain of knowledge. Derren Brown will even give you this advise also.

Cesar's Way: The Natural, Everyday Guide to Understanding and Correcting Common Dog Problems

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Science and Nature
by: Cesar Millan

February 07, 2008
As said before if you watch his show most of what is in the book will be nothing new, if you are looking for advice on specific problems and how to cure them this is not for you.
It really just goes over cesar's attitude towards dealing with your dog rather than an specifics.
It is nicely written and I did enjoy reading it and it did give me a push to be more confident around my dogs to help influence them which I do feel helps, although I'm not into alpha rolls or choke chains.
If you are looking for the miracle cures you see him do on TV, look somewhere else, like a trainer/behaviourist, but if you already have a dog and don't feel totally incontrol this may give you a bit of a lift to be more confident in their handling.

A Dog's Life

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Science and Nature
by: Martin Clunes

September 04, 2008
Love Martin Clunes, love dogs, loved his recent documentary about dogs - so all good. This book does tally with the tv programme about history of dogs but the bits I actually enjoyed best are his own personal history with dogs and his present day trials, tribulations and joys with them. Just one thing - I'd love to know how Mary is these days.
