PETS' LETTERS TO GOD has over sixty-five letters from dogs, birds, cats and various other animals asking God the tough questions.

For instance, Butch the Boxer asks, "Dear God, If a dog barks his head off in the forest, and no human hears him, is he still a bad dog?"

Another dog named Max asks, " Dear God, Are there dogs on other planets, or are we alone? I have been howling at the moon and stars for a long time, but all I ever hear back is the beagle across the street!"

Roddy, who I think is a hamster asks God, " Is it a sin to escape from your cage?"

This is a great gift for anyone who loves their pet or for a pet to gift to a favorite friend. In fact, I learned about this book because Abigail, a beautiful Bichon, recently gave this book to her dear friend who sometimes takes care of her.

Pets' Letters to God is delightfully funny and insightful. This little book makes a great gift for animal lovers of all ages. You can't read a page without a smile!

This beautifully illustrated book is humorous and yet has some thoughtful questions from the minds of pets. A must read for any animal lover!

Living with a registered dietitian, this book has been an invaluable resource. Whenever a debate breaks out about how many grams of fat are in half an avocado, or how many grams of fiber an apple has, you can go to this bible and resolve it instantly. This is literally the book I open up most in my library.

I own several books on nutrition (both the 'advice' type and the 'what's in your food' type) and found that this is the absolute best on the market in the 'what's in your food' category.

This book gives the nutritional breakdown of every food you can imagine, from the very basic to the truly exotic. The chart for each food is simple to read, and for each item there's advice on preparation, best ways to keep the nutrition content high, comparisons to similar foods, etc.

The book also has an easy-to-use key to let you quickly flip through the whole thing to find foods that are good for weight loss, those that help lower cholesterol, those that are blood-building, those with high fiber content, etc. A great bonus: there is an index that helps you find top foods containing particular vitamins & minerals, and describes the body's use of that vitamin or mineral. For instance, if you need to boost your iron intake because you're anemic, you'll find a comprehensive list of iron-rich foods in the back of the book.

This is a fabulous book to own whether you're simply watching your weight or are someone who likes to be informed about what you're eating. I liked this book so much I bought it as a gift for two friends, and they've each raved about it. It definitely gets a place on the keeper shelf!

This book gives you the nutritional makeup of EVERY food out there--from fruits and nuts all the way to fast food. And it doesn't "look down" on any kind of food. It gives you the facts, and always finds some redeeming nutrition, even in a Big Mac! In trying to increase my fiber intake, I found this book invaluable--and an interesting read to boot!

I look at a lot of cookbooks, and this is one of the best all-around healthy cooking and weight management approaches I have found. It includes lots of charts, guidelines, and hints for healthier eating, plus great illustrations and clear directions. I especially like the vegetarian and fish sections. Each recipe includes a "extra health benefits" section that I found interesting.

If only all authors of low-fat cookbooks could have seen this book first. Each easy- to- follow recipe gives a breakdown on health benefits, preparation and cooking time, and a nutritional breakdown. Often times, there are extra chef's hints on shopping tips, substitutions, or presentation. Recipes that take 10 minutes or less to cook have an easy to read "quick" notation. Perfect for the novice chef; recipes are simple yet elegant. Lessons on different food groups give knowledge you can use in the kitchen and at the supermarket. yummy!

This book is a must for those who not only want to lose weight but keep it off. I have had two copies, my first wore out, and I still use it all the time. I have writen notes in it, and used the guidlines.

Your Perfect Weight gives you a 52 week planner for your weight loss. Alot of questions that I never thought to ask are answered in this book. It gives charts that are easy to read, examples of how to plan your food each day, and motivative ideas for when you are in the middle of a plateau and not lossing weight. It gives examples of how to change your exercise routine when you get bored, and meal plans for when you are bored of the same foods. This is definitely the best book that I have bought to motivate me and to educate me all at the same time.

This book is an excellent resource tool! It has been written for the hands-on manager who practices MBWA. (Those who aren't hands on - need to read it to become hands on!) I highly suggest that college students get this book to assist with their course work.

With to-the-point topical chapters on many aspects of executive life - from Age to Writing Skills - this book is not to read cover to cover but rather the night before the big meeting. Acting as a coach, this book can replace that midnight phonecall to a trusted friend or that hour of doubt about the way to handle things. The presented Secrets of Success are quite simple - no deep management philosophy here - but a little logic and humanity is often just what the situation needs. The quotes by experts in the field make things crystal clear. Very useful for starting executives but also for the long-time CEO that needs a check-up to current ways. With a special feature on Decision Making.

THIS BOOK HAS CHANGED MY LIFE! I HAVE READ THIS TWO TIMES FROM THE LIBRARY AND HAD TO BUY THE BOOK. I FOUND IT HEAR ON LINE AND WAS SO HAPPY! THE TECHNIQUES IN THIS BOOK ARE WONDERFUL! YOU LEARN SO MUCH AND KEEP IT AND USE IT DAILY. I HAVE RECOMMENDED THIS BOOK TO EVERYONE AND HAVE NOW LOST 50LBS. IN 8 MONTHS. I LOVE IT!!

I found this book to be excellent. It has a no-bull approach to weightloss. It is practical and easy to use. It covers all subjects that a dieter would be concerned with. I have read most of the diet books and this one is the most easy to read and makes the most sense. I followed the instructions and have lost 3 pounds since starting this book.

It is not out of date and it still works in the year 2001!

This book is pretty good for being such a broad range of species
and an all around type of book.In spite of the fact it touches on a good portion of subjects and problems from birth to death,
it still manages to impart a lot of info needed. it benefits the multi-pet family the most and secondly the dog and/or cat owners.For it's genre , an all encompasssing pet care book, it does the job quite well.It is what is expected from Rodale press
--balanced and a lot of info with some common sense added.
I am a big dog person but I love other animals ,too.I think a fish,reptilian etc. owner would be disappointed in it. it truly is mostly for the dog + cat owner and a bit of bird and rabbit
and ferret tips are in there....there are a few snake and lizard
also...but of course not as extensively.
So, I would say any dog or cat owner will definitely like the book, especially the newer owners and the younger owners. it will also help one to decide WHICH pet is for you as you read and see the responsibilities of different pets.

i found this book in a corner of a library of an Indian company where i used to work. With curiousity i picked it up. Until then i had no idea about the contents of the book. i started reading the book and experimenting on myself. it felt pleasurable. the way the matter is organized in the book with scientific results is just unbelievable. After reading the book i really felt that this is the right book to learn and experience the power of meditation and other mind healing techniques which empowers the brain. Though i read the book a number of times, i find something new everytime i read it. it helped me get rid of tensions of professional life.

A truly indispensable reference book to have on hand for whatever ails you. The remedies are simple and relatively inexpensive. Vitamin and herbal therapies are offered as cures for a wide range of illnesses and conditions. Sufficient scientific data is presented without weighing the reader down in statistics and numbers. Clearly and conversationally written, I found the book to be surprisingly comprehensive in discussing a wide range of ailments and remedies. Following even one of these remedies could save one hundreds of dollars wasted at the doctor's office and on prescription medications. Every home ought to have this book sitting on the shelf next to "The Joy of Cooking".
