my own favorite books
(Note: each of the following has a link to amazon, if applicable; please do not regard this as pressure to shop there, as you can always use the link for added information, if you find that useful, and then shop somewhere else, if you prefer. I always like to use amazon's web site for more info on books listed in my public library, and then buy only those books that I cannot get at the library, or which, like the the books below, are so worth re-reading that they earn precious limited shelf space. Otherwise, there'd be no room for people in our house!)
Jared Diamond : Guns, Germs, and Steel : The Fates of Human Societies This book draws together information from many different fields, coming together to give the real reasons why some cultures have been able to defeat others. Fascinating if you care about the history of food crops, reasons why horses can be domesticated but zebras can't, reasons why diseases didn't become endemic until populations developed to a high density, etc. Some may find it too scholarly in style, but you don't have to finish it to get a lot out of it. (Carlos, you still have my copy - can I have it back?)
Steven Pinker: The Language Instinct Children are born with an instinct to acquire language; the nature of language is not pure randomness.
Steven Pinker: How the Mind Works The first part of the book is kind of slow, but the rest makes it well worthwhile.
Edward Tufte: Envisioning Information This is the only one of Tufte's three books that our local public library has! It's so good I think I need my very own copy, though.
Gavin De Becker: The Gift of Fear : Survival Signals That Protect Us from Violence How you can use your own instincts to keep you safe.
Diana Wynne Jones: Dark Lord of Derkholm An alternate universe is exploited by a man from ours, or a universe much like ours, for tourist trips similar to the imaginary ones in the game Dungeons and Dragons, until the people finally fight back. As in all of Jones' works, the details and characters are memorable.
Diana Wynne Jones: Howl's Moving Castle An exception to the rule that all books marked "young adult" must be depressing. There is no upper age limit for this book, in spite of the label. Fun.
Connie WillisTo Say Nothing of the Dog A wonderful time travel book - it seems full of absurd hilarious fluff, then at the end it all comes together and proves to have been very tightly plotted. Connie WIllis is one of my top few favorite authors.
R.A. MacAvoy's The Book of Kells , Lens of the World trilogy, The Grey Horse , and Tea With the Black Dragon . How can every book by such a good author be out of print? These are all books with approximately one element of fantasy each.
Mercedes Lackey Firebird a perfect fairy tale
Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish: Siblings Without Rivalry : How to Help Your Children Live Together So You Can Live Too These three books by Faber and Mazlish changed my life. I read them when my older child was an infant, in time to prevent a lot of misery. I think every parent should do the same.
Thomas W. Phelan: 1-2-3 Magic What to do if you need more help after reading Faber and Mazlish. Not the best book to start with, but very helpful when more help is needed. Try the audiocassette or videotape if you can't get your spouse to read the book! This is for the child who already knows what is right or wrong, but has trouble applying that to his or her own behavior - such as the child who misbehaves on purpose, in order to get a reaction from the parents, or for the child who just needs help in learning to establish inner control of unacceptable impulses.
Frances R. Balkwill: DNA Is Here to Stay A comic book format that was greatly enjoyed, and understood, by my son when he was only five or six years old (I read it aloud to him), though the book is aimed at ages 9 to 12 and is correct enough on its facts for any age at all, and especially useful for an adult who is interested but feeling lazy. (slightly overpriced at amazon, unlike the others)
Frances R. Balkwill: Cells Wars How your body fights infection. Same great format and quality as "DNA is Here to Stay".
Frances R. Balkwill: Cells Are Us What bodies are made of. Same great format and quality as "DNA is Here to Stay".
Rose Fyleman & Jamichael Henterly: A Fairy Went A-Marketing This is a short picture book for young children, but the quality of the illustrations and the story, and the gentle feeling, make it a classic. Gorgeous.
Anne Mazer & Steve Johnson:The Salamander Room Another short picture book for young children. A little boy describes everything he'll do to make his bedroom the perfect place for the salamander he found in the woods - resulting, bit by bit, in turning the room into a part of the forest, itself.
Susan Heitler: The Power of Two : Secrets of a Strong & Loving Marriage Most people don't know how to "fight fair", how to communicate their needs to their partner without using unfair tactics that create divisions without getting them what they want in the relationship. This is the only book I've read which has actual, practical, useful advice on this subject. There are a lot of books on the subject, which seem good when you read them but fail to have lasting effects; this one is different. You have to read it several times. It can be helpful even if your partner is the one who's being unfair to you, and you probably don't even realize the ways in which you are currently being unfair to your partner.
Sharon Salzberg: Loving-Kindness Meditation : Learning to Love Through Insight Meditation An audiocassette, explaining a very simple, and very helpful, technique from traditional Buddhist psychology.
Thich Nhat Hanh: Peace Is Every Step : The Path of Mindfulness in Everyday Life This is a gem, bearing constant re-reading.
Tolkien's Hobbit this one is the comic book version - although we have the original version, I think my son needs this one, as well
R.A. MacAvoy's The Book of Kells , Lens of the World trilogy, The Grey Horse , and Tea With the Black Dragon . How can every book by such a good author be out of print? These are all books with approximately one element of fantasy each.

Reviews for "Elevate Your Style with Magic Nails Oakbrook's Supernatural Nail Art"
1. Sarah - 1 star
I had a terrible experience at Magic Nails in Oakbrook. First, the staff was rude and dismissive. They rushed through my pedicure and paid no attention to detail. My nails were left uneven and the polish was applied sloppily. Moreover, the salon was not clean. There was dirt and dust everywhere, and the equipment seemed old and outdated. I would not recommend this place to anyone.
2. John - 2 stars
I was really disappointed with the services at Magic Nails Oakbrook. The prices were high, but the quality was subpar. The technicians were not skilled and lacked professionalism. They seemed more interested in chatting with each other than providing a good service. The nail polish started chipping within a day, and my manicure didn't last even a week. Overall, it was a waste of time and money.
3. Emma - 2 stars
I visited Magic Nails Oakbrook hoping for a relaxing and enjoyable experience, but unfortunately, that was not the case. The atmosphere was chaotic and loud, which made it impossible to relax. The staff was not friendly, and the manicurist barely spoke to me during the treatment. The final result was mediocre at best. The nail polish was unevenly applied, and the shape of my nails was not what I requested. I left feeling unsatisfied and will not be returning.
4. Alex - 1 star
This was by far the worst nail salon experience I've ever had. The staff at Magic Nails Oakbrook was unprofessional and seemed to lack basic hygiene practices. The tools and equipment were old and dirty, which is unacceptable for a place that should prioritize cleanliness. The nail technician did a poor job on my pedicure, and the nail polish started peeling off within a day. I would strongly advise against visiting this salon.
