36 Hour Day.......2007-10-10

A must for all caregivers and family with someone who has dementia. In reading the introduction to the book, I cried because it was so real to me.

A MUST read for anyone caring for an Alzheimers patient.......2007-10-02

This is the best book I have read regarding living with and caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's disease.

So very helpful.

The 36-Hour Day Book.......2007-06-10

I had this book when my mother had Alzheimers. I bought this for a friend whose wife has Alzheimers. It is concise, supportive with lots of information at a reasonable price.

Everything I needed to know.......2007-05-22

A wonderful book that has reinforced my observations and been enlightening about areas that I was struggling with. It is clearly and articulately written, and easy to read as well. I throughly and heartily recommend it.

Caregivers' BEST resource.......2007-05-14

There is a gold standard in Alzheimer's caregiving resources, and "The 36-Hour Day" is it! This book is as easy to understand as it is comprehensive. In the 20 years I've been helping people care for persons with memory disorders, I have referred more families/caregivers to purchase this book than any other. It is overwhelmingly complete. This is not a book you want to read cover-to-cover. Rather, you put it in your nightstand, and as issues arise, find some simple-to-implement tips and suggestions. Best of all, you learn that what you've experienced with your family member is "normal" for this condition. When caring for someone with a progressive memory disorder, there are so many myths and half-truths out there. As it continues to be updated by the expert authors, this trusted resource has been recommended by clincians for more than 2 decades.

Everyone Should Read.......2007-10-04

I am so sorry that I did not read this book 5 years ago. It explained why my mom behaves the way that she does. I think that everyone needs to read this because there is not a person alive that does not or will not love someone who has dementia or Alzheimers. It gives medical information that is easy to understand as well as ways to best deal with their loved one. It reassures the caregiver that they need to take care of themselves and it helps them to realize that thier loved one still loves them but is sometimes unable to show it in acceptable ways.

An absolute must for caregivers.......2007-07-27

For those of us who are caregivers, this book is a lifesaver. Before reading this book I was certain that many of the behaviors that my family member exhibits were unique to her. While I often read about Alzheimer's, I never read anything that made me stop and realize that, first, I am not alone, and second, that there are ways that I can handle situations better. This book is full of great suggestions on how to deal with the many behavioral issues that are exhibited by those with Alzheimer's and dementia.

Whenever I have an especially difficult day, I go online to the Alzheimer's page and remind myself how difficult it is for my family member. This book drove home that message, yet more importantly provided me with some tools on how to deal with these issues. I cannot stress enough how much I thought our situation and the behaviors were unique; it is liberating to realize that they are not. As well, understanding why the person exhibits such behaviors makes it much easier to respond correctly.

I wish I could thank the authors personally for this book. I hope they both know that their wisdom, concern and awareness of the Alzheimer patient has made a difference for me, and I am certain has made a difference for many others.

Caregivers -- buy this book, you will find some stress greatly diminished.

The 36 Hour Day.......2007-07-16

The 36-Hour Day is an excellent book for anyone dealing with Alzheimer's patients. It is hard for me to imagine anyone with the disease reading the book, but family members will benefit tremendously.

The 36-Hour Day: A Family Guide to Caring for People with Alzheimer Disease, Other Dementias, and Memory Loss in Later Life.......2007-07-01

Well-written, easy to read, and comprehansive..excellent resource! I have already recommended it to others facing a future as a caregiver.

A MUST read for anyone that has an alzheimer family member, or anyone involved in the care of an alzheimer patient!!!!!!.......2007-06-11

I can not stress enough just how helpful and informative this book is. My Dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer Disease 6 years ago. In those 6 years we have seen numerous doctors, taken numerous tests, spoke to many Social Workers, Home Health Aides, etc. NO ONE gave me the advice, information, suggestions, help, etc., anywhere near as well and thorough as "The 36 Hour Day".
I think so highly of this book and recommend it so much; that just last week, I had a meeting with the Director of Nursing, Head Nurse, and Social Worker at the nursing home where my Dad resides. I highly recommended this book and told the Dir. Of Nursing, it should be mandatory reading for anyone working in the facility.
If you have a loved one or are a care taker of someone with Alzheimer Disease---RUN do not walk, to your nearest bookstore and pick up a copy of this book.

Book Description

Recorded history is a finely-woven magic fabric of intricate lies about events predating the sixteenth century. There is not a single piece of evidence that can be reliably and independently traced back earlier than the eleventh century. This book details events that are substantiated by hard facts and logic, and validated by new astronomical research and statistical analysis of ancient sources.

Customer Reviews:

Calculations are only as good as your numbers.......2007-08-03

Yes, we can all agree that mainstream history is nearly 100% BS due to politics, economics, ego, problems with dating techniques, and various conspiracies. Agreed. But, I've been researching the distinct possibility that human history (in terms of civilizations) are much more ancient than we've been told, so coming across this book was very interesting to me. I wondered how Fomenko could be wrong (if at all) because he is very persuasive in his presentations. Then it dawned on me. If at previous times in prehistory, due to the various catastrophies that are well documented (comets, asteroids, planetary disruptions, plasma discharge, pole reversals, etc) the Earth was in a different position in relation to the sun, different tilt on its axis, different orbit, different rotation (in terms of velocity and DIRECTION), and the continents were in different positions, then would this not cause the ancients to see the sky (constellations) differently? In other words, is Fomenko making erronious assumptions about the physics of the Earth in pre-history, which then corrupt his data with regards to dating the relevant astrology? The last event to seriously disrupt our planet occured roughly 3500 years ago, according to other good researchers, so is it possible Fomenko has been confused by this? The vastly different physics of our planet in the not so distant past may explain this confusion, which is not to say the "mainstream" version of history is correct; on the contrary. I am not an expert in these fields, but wanted to see if this idea could spark discussion.

Pants on fire?.......2007-07-19

Will people ever read before spamming? Yes, Jesuits could not rewrite world history alone, they had help. Anyway, Dr Prof Acad A.Fomenko does not point to jesuits as the driving force of world wide history manipulation in published volumes 1,2,3;, actually he barely mentions the poor devils. Check it with 'Search inside' feature, please. China is rarely mentioned either, in fact, Dr Fomenko is completely eurocentric. Right, his theory contradicts all mainstream schools of history, because in their actual state they are all built on blatantly erroneus chronology. You don't need a mysterious cabal (conspiracy) to falsify history, the falsification is its modus operandi. It is inherent to history(ians) to falsify (distort) events, as it is inherent to humans to boast as it is inherent to power (authority) to legimize itself by referrring to glorious past made to its own order. Dr Prof Fomenko and team have identified scores of instances of such manipulation in Russian, European, etc.. history, and delivered valid statistical proof thereof. His own 'reconstruction' is completely another story. Forget c14 as a valid method of dating. W.Libby has initially discovered a brilliant method of INDEPENDENT dating. Too bad, c14 method has become a joke after a forced marrige with dendrochronology with consensual chronological scale inbuilt. Radiocarbon method can't stand blind tests, but is so very productive as a rubberstamp.

Accepted History & Chronology Must Be Changed. .......2007-04-09

There is no doubt that history as most know it is a sham, & institution's version of History both University & Church is fradulent & inaccurate. Everything was established with an agenda, The real "Dark Ages" are now when we have access to incredible amounts of information past authorities & more important 'common folk' didn't have but our institutions & educators are slow to evolve because of what has ignorantly & arrogantly been taught for too long. This is on many subjects not just Chronology.

For anyone to question "Why would a Mathematician have anything credible to say of History?" The answer is from Dr. Fomenko's preface in the book: "It would be worthwhile to remind the reader that in the XVI-XVII century Chronology was considered to be a subdivision of Mathematics." These volumes could possibly be some of the most important works to date & should be read by everyone with an interest in History, especially professors & educators who have a duty to the public. I have read both books & must say that 'Chronology 1' has some very eye opening & revolutionary information. Even if these volumes are part true the implications are profound & opens the doors to further investigations & questions which must be done. I speak several different lanquages & must say the logic Dr. Fomenko uses with "inflection" of words & words being read from left to right in one region & right to left in another then written backwards, the removal of vowels & get down to basics of words, or different cities & locations having the same name etc. is correct. Vowel usage has always been optional & varied, actually complicating linquistics & study. The first thing one has to understand is that words never had a fixed spelling in history like we do now, the spelling of words was mutable & regional, as well as names & titles of people were vast, varied & changed, NOTHING WAS FIXED or understood linear. Matters of Life & Death as well as financial profiteering yesterday & today were & are made with ignorant, illogical & conspiratorial views of history & reality, it's time people get closer to the Truth & society collectively grow up.

It is a good proposal and I believe it will mature into something even better in the future. I think it deserves to be read.

History as Science Fiction.......2007-01-10

Anatoly Fomenko has written a very intriguing book, full of pictures, charts, and computer 'proof' of his thesis: backwards of AD900 we don't really know what happened or when. Between AD900 and AD1600 there is more certainty, but there is still a lot of fuzzy ground, and things don't get reliable until we get past the 1600's where the printing press made it very difficult for the perpetrators of this timeline manipulation to change anything that had been committed to print. The Dark Ages did not happen. Books were burned for a reason. One organization has doubled the actual length of its existence by expanding the real chronology. Read why.

I had always wondered why Christ died about AD33 and yet men waited until the 11th century to form the Knights Templar, the Cathars, etc and go after the Holy Land by force. Why the 1000 year gap? Turns out there wasn't more than a 10-12 year gap and he proves it using astronomy. This also implies that the planet is not as old as we have been told, and current Christian and other creationist scientists are already championing that idea without being aware of Fomenko's book. The two groups, creationist scientists and the Russian mathematical analysts corroborate each other. Fascinating.

Of course, all this flies in the face of what we have been told traditionally is the 'proper' chronology of western civilization, and most readers will experience 'cognitive dissonance' in reading this book. It means that our history going backwards from AD1600 becomes progressively more incorrect and unreliable until it cannot be trusted at all... in the space of 700-800 years.

Naturally, the curious, open-minded reader will want to know WHO did this, WHY, and did any of the events we think of as really ancient ever happen?
Dr. Fomenko is a respected scientist/mathematician at Moscow State University who has already answered these questions to the satisfaction of his initially skeptical colleagues. Most of them are now believers, a few still refuse to believe (the usual diehards), and of course the western press has ignored Fomenko's work -- for obvious reasons when you read the book. The ones who perpetrated this chronology ruse have a lot to answer for. They are still with us. That's why this book is a well-kept secret.

I gave the book a 4-star rating because I was unable to check out some of his claims; those I checked were as he said. But if even 1/3 of his claims are true, this punches a big hole in what we think is our history, the meaning of western civilization, our educational process (for repeating the ruse as gospel), and the trustworthiness of the organization that perpetrated this ruse, well-intentioned or not.

This book relates to current research into a Young Earth paradigm, to John Keel's discoveries about our planet, and Fr Malachi Martin's insights (in his now out-of-print books). We are indeed sheep who are manipulated and kept ignorant -- for a reason. While knowing what these men have to say may be the "booby prize" (as in: 'what can you do with this knowledge?'), it will provide interesting reading. Didn't someone say: "...and the Truth will set you free."?? For you to judge if this book contains the truth.

Book Description

Do you think you have a "bad memory"?

Impossible, says Kevin Trudeau, the world's foremost authority on memory improvement training. There are no bad memories, only untrained memories. In order to release our natural memory, Trudeau says, we just need to learn to retrieve what we already know. As founder of the American Memory Institute, Kevin Trudeau has already helped more than one million people do just that.

Each Mega Memory lesson in this book takes no more than thirty minutes per day and uses pictures, rather than the laborious word-association techniques of other memory systems, to activate our inborn memory. With this easy-to-follow system, you'll be able to instantly remember names, phone numbers, addresses, financial data, speeches, and schoolwork. Even better, Trudeau's system ensures instant recall and long-term Mega Memory. All you need is the desire to unleash your Mega Memory, and you can reap all these incredible rewards!

Labeled with a learning disability at an early age, Kevin Trudeau was convinced his problem was an inability to recall information. He read everything he could on memory improvement. Eventually, he developed his own program for memory retrieval and formed the American Memory Institute. His Mega Memory home study system is the most utilized self-improvement series of all time.

Trudeau's The Man!!.......2007-09-29

I read this book a while back, but I'll be damned if I can remember what it was all about. I'm pretty sure I thought it was just so-so.

GREAT BOOK!!!!!.......2007-09-28

Bottom line: THIS IS A GREAT BOOK! I've been using it for years and is much more organized and motivating than Lorayne's, Higbee's, Buzan, etc. I can't believe how many people like to point out how Kevin is a convicted felon. Maybe so, but I'd still buy his book. Did he just repackage an idea someone else had? Maybe so, but it's far more entertaining and organized with logical progression than the others I've read. That's worth the price of the book alone. Furthermore, since a majority of the reviews here aren't even for the Mega Memory book, but rather a personal attack on Kevin, I'd like to put in my 2 cents. I've read his other books and they've changed my life for the better. His books aren't more than $15 people! Unless he showed up on your doorstep, conned you out of your life savings, and kicked your dog, I think the criticism is a bit unwarranted. For those of you who want an honest review of this book, listen to me. The book is $10.17. It's very worth it!

I can't say anything more than what's already been stated. I liked the book, and the methods work.

Wonderful!.......2007-03-04

Harry Lorayne is always a name to be trusted in the area of memory improvement. I have his PAGE A MINUTE book and THE MEMORY BOOK, co-authored with Jerry Lucas and highly recommend them both.

And I highly recommend this one, too. A lot of what Lorayne writes in this book can be found in THE MEMORY BOOK, but he zeroes in on the needs of students. He emphasizes here, as he does in his other books:

1. The Link -- visually linking information together using mental pictures.

2. Substitute words -- such as "Connect a cut" for Connecticut, etc.

3. The mneomic device of substituting consonant sounds for numbers (a great deal like the Major System) whereby people can learn long numbers by converting them either to a single word or a group of words.

4. "Peg" words, in which the same word will always stand for the same number. It's a flexible system that can be applied to a lot of different academic situations.

He uses a lot of different techniques, but these are the main ones, and they help a LOT.

Understand that you'll still have to work hard and study. You'll still have to review, and the mental associations take time. But they make the process easier, whatever the course is that you're studying, and I'll make a guess that you'll learn more in less time. It worked for me.

Lorayne has claimed to have an "average" IQ, but when a man can memorize a deck of cards in order, I listen when he talks!

Super Memory - Super Student: How to Raise Your Grades in 30 Days.......2007-02-09

I really like this book. If you have time and passion for the methods, you will have an excellent memory. I used the book for about two weeks and I used some of these techniques to improve my college test scores. Good buy and good results.

If you are willing to try, this book will definitly improve your grades.......2006-09-22

This book requires a little effort to apply the techniques. But after you try you will be applying you super memory everywhere. It overviews things that we have been doing since child hood to learn and shows you how to use it consciously. After reading this book I realized that any thing I remembered was by using the tips outlined in this book. But now I understand how to apply it every day to better my grades and people skills (people love it when you can remember there name after you have heard it only once.) As for school work I wish I had this book years ago. Anatomy and physiology would have been so much easier. I think all great students use momory techniques to excell and after applying this book you can know how to do it to. Give it a try.

Harry Lorayne is simply the BEST!.......2006-07-26

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Harry Lorayne is simply the BEST! Intrigued by the advertising, I bought "How To Develop A Super Power Memory" when it first came out and every book he has written since. (I'm sure this made Harry happy, but it made me even happier!)

I taught it to my sons when they were young. One said he felt like he was "cheating" on tests in school because it he could actually "see" the answers in his mind's eye right in front of him! I sincerely wish I had been exoposed to the systems when I was in school. It would have made all the diffence in the world! What a LEGACY to leave with your children and grandchildren!! They will be forever thankful... and yes, they will fondly REMEMBER you for teaching it to them.

The systems helped me enormously at work, and now that I am retired, they keep me sharp. Knowledge -- memory -- BUILDS on peviously remembered knowledge. Why would anyone NOT want to use the systems once he is aware of them? Indeed, initially, it does take some concentration, but that only demonstrates that most of us are far too "mentally lazy" to begin with. Harry's systems will "buff up" those little gray cells and keep then shining for the rest of you life!

I have read several other memory improvement books but always keep coming back to Harry Lorayne's -- the Yoda of memory. WHY? As mentioned earler, because Harry Lorayne is simply the BEST!

this journal is really cool. i loved the pregnancy journal, i used that as soon as we knew we were pregnant and i loved the format! so when i heard there was a baby one, i was excited to get it! it is a great place to take notes on your baby as he grows. a 'normal' journal just doesnt work when you are a new mother! so this is a really great item!

Great Journal.......2007-01-19

This Journal is the best I found! I've used the exact same one for all 3 of my kids! What I love about it is it's not a daily journal, yet not a weekly journal. You put your entries in every 4-7 days! And there's great reading in between to keep up on the social, emotional and physical developments of your baby week by week! I never felt "overwhelmed" trying to fill these journals out. The space to write varies in length from 1/4 of a page to 1/2 a page which also helps reduce the stress of having to write a FULL PAGE everytime!

Good for 1st time moms for 1st few weeks.......2007-01-11

This is a nice book for a first time mom in those very early weeks when she is probably very nervous and unsure and might want a neutral source to refer to instead of listening to all the advice of well-meaning friends & family. After the first few months I rarely looked at it aqain though.

Love it.......2006-11-07

I love this series. It's light reading, but has enough information. As a new mom, you don't always have the time to read a book this size, but its broken up into day to day reads, so you can either read one day per day or on week at a time. I got this as gifts for all my friends.

Wishing I had not bought this book.......2006-10-04

I bought both this book and the toddler book to write my childs memories down. I started using it for both my kids and realized that there was very little space to write things down when I needed to. I ended up writing over the text which I just stopped reading because it was not helpful at all and unorganized and was covered much better in other developmental books. To add to the frustration, there are cutesy quotes on EVERY page, and when there was a break in the develpmental jargon, they filled the space up with huge pointless graphics that they did not have the courtesy to make light enough to write over! Why call this a journal at all? I am cutting out the pages I did write in and starting over with another Journal. Dont waste your money.

Book Description

This innovative brain health workbook has sold over 2.5 million copies globally!

Dr. Kawashima, a prominent neurologist in Japan, developed this program of daily simple math calculations that can help boost your brain power, improve your memory, and stave off the mental effects of aging. The exercises in this book have even been shown to help those suffering from Alzheimer's.

The idea, Dr. Kawashima says, is to "work out the brain much like we work out the rest of our bodies. It has long been known that regular exercise helps slow the deterioration of our muscles, and the same is true for our brains."

much ado about nothing.......2007-08-23

This was a very disappointing book. It could have been condensed into a 2 page article.

Brain training.......2007-05-07

A great book for exercising your brain. Easy to follow, simple and effective. After doing the exercises for almost 60 days I have seen definate improvement in my ability to recall and remember information.

Not recomend.......2007-05-01

This is one of typical books published by Kumon. Kumon has many learning centers for kids in USA, and my son attended one of them. But I canot recomend the present method since they just rip off money from parents.
Many assitants at such centers are not qualified for teaching at all. Students cannot ask any complicated questions for most of cases.
I can find the similar pattern of the way of making money in this book.
I know, this book might help some of people who have a really decaying brain. I think this is a book for at least 70 or 80 years old who start to show a sign of decrepit behaviors. Many people can make such contents by using PC by themselves.

Train Your Brain: 60 Days to a Better Brain.......2007-03-09

This book is so practical and explain so well how our brain get older without using.
The worksheet is enjoyable.

Wonderful Book for Elders.......2007-02-25

I'm sorry I didn't run across this book two years ago when it first came out. I'm a board-certified cognitive therapist and although my expertise is in depression where I use exercises to re-wire the brain out of depressive episodes and which inspired my own book BRAINSWITCH OUT OF DEPRESSION, this book is wonderful for maintaining an already healthy brain and mind and can be helpful to anybody.

It's okay..........2007-01-11

I bought two wedding planners and this is the one that I've been using the least. It does have really good sized pockets in the divider of each section. It has gorgeous pictures in it and as the wedding date draws closer (we still have nine months), it's quite possible I'll use this one more.

This book does have a business card holder and so far that's the part I've used the most.

Fast.......2007-01-09

I received this product very fast and my sister absolutely loves it. It was a great gift for her.

Just Awesome.......2006-10-03

This planner is WONDERFUL. I got married just a few months ago, so I know how hectic it can be. I ordered this as a gift for a co-worker and she loves it. This is great because it has big pockets to store papers and things, tons of pictures of flowers, cakes, reception ideas, etc. The flower directory is teriffic. This planner covers everything right down to the last detail. After planning my own wedding, I wish I had had this planner! The best you can get.

Very helpful information but..........2006-07-24

I was very pleased with all the helpful information this wedding planner has but was very disappointed when it fell apart two days after giving it to my son's fiance as a gift. I was very embarassed to say the least. We are not returning it because she has started writing a lot of information in it so she has put it in a three-ring binder. I just want to warn other buyers about this product. I'm sure there are other books that contain just as much information as this one but won't fall apart.

Seems like it will be helpful........2006-03-07

I bought this as an engagement present for my best friends and gave it to them the day after they got engaged. It has a great deal of content and even if they don't end up using the worksheets, it's still fun for them to look at. The book itself was a little beat up (some of the divider tabs were creased, some dents on the cover) so it might be better to buy it at a store where you can see the actual book and content first.
