“Destined to be a classic….The most practical self-help book on relationships I have seen….Discusses important, previously neglected health factors which can destroy a marriage.” ―Michael Lesser, M.D., past president, Orthomolecular Medical Society A five-week program for making bad relationships good and good relationships even better. The manual is in two parts. 1) Assessing and improving human relationships. 2) Identifying the often unsuspected physical ailments that contribute to a large proportion of unhappy relationships and that often can be cured or controlled nutritionally (see page 201).

“We believe that husband and wife in a discordant marriage can do the greater part of the healing and growing for themselves. There is no doctor or counselor who can―for any amount of money―give ‘instant’ love or marital harmony. The partners involved must do the work.” ―William J. Lederer and Don D. Jackson, M.D. This helpful, incisive analysis of marriage in America discusses the false assumptions of modern marriage and how to make a marriage work. It is imperative to realize, the authors argue, that the marital relationship is an interlocked system in itself, not a function of individual partners. They offer techniques for appraising one’s own marriage, discuss the use of counselors and the dangers of unilateral therapy, and outline the major elements of a satisfactory marriage.

( The multi-million-copy bestseller that coined the phras...)
The multi-million-copy bestseller that coined the phrase for tragic American blunders abroad. In the episode that lends the book its title, the "ugly American" is Homer Atkins, a plain and plain-spoken man, who has been sent by the U.S. government to advise the Southeast Asian country of Sarkhan on engineering projects. When Atkins finds badly misplaced priorities and bluntly challenges the entrenched interests, he lays bare a foreign policy gone dangerously wrong. First published in 1958, The Ugly American? became a runaway national bestseller for its slashing exposé of American arrogance, incompetence, and corruption in Southeast Asia. In linked stories and vignettes, the book uses gripping storytelling to draw a devastating picture of how the United States was losing the struggle with Communism in Asia.

( “Here it is at last: everything you wanted to know abou...)
“Here it is at last: everything you wanted to know about cross-country skiing. . . . This is the kind of self-teach book that I think is most useful. Everything is broken down into easy-to-grasp parts, checklists and charts. . . . Absolutely recommended for anyone who ski tours.” ―Ski Magazine Part I of this book is for beginners who don’t know a cross-country ski from a ladder. Part II is for novices intent on becoming intermediates. Part III is for those who now feel completely at home on cross-country skis and want to let loose with the experts. Part IV deals with the all-important matter of waxing. The authors don’t promise to get anyone on the United States Olympic Team; but the they feel confident that no matter how young or how old the skier-to-be-is, he will soon feel comfortable on cross-country skis and will enjoy the pleasures of ski touring―or even racing, if so inclined.

(Sarkhan is a story of suspense and drama in Southeast Asi...)
Sarkhan is a story of suspense and drama in Southeast Asia. It is an angry exploration of Communist uprisings, Washington politics, intelligence mistakes and public confusion. Depressing as they come but it's a worthy sequel to The Ugly American. In some ways, it will be highly recognizable to any thoughtful student of US foreign policy.
