Hot Relationships: How to Know What You Want, Get What You Want, and Keep it Red Hot!
Tracey Cox Manufacturer: Bantam ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items: ASIN: 0553380338 Release Date: 2000-07-05 |

Relationships expert Tracey Cox, author of Hot Sex, admits that she is not currently "snuggled up on the couch with Mr. Perfect." Never mind--she sure knows relationships: good ones, lousy ones, flings, live-ins, and "first date fizzles." She's knowledgeable, reassuring, and very funny. First, Cox discusses the advantages of being single (yeah, yeah) and helps you figure out what kind of partner/relationship you're seeking and where to find him or her. Then she takes you through getting that first date.As she explores falling in love, evaluating your relationship, and getting closer to commitment, Cox is feisty and irreverent. One chapter's subtitle is "Getting from Bonking-Each-Other-Senseless to Couplesville (Without Losing the Urge)." She discusses sex directly and wittily, explaining, for example, why you might have been hungry for sex when you weren't getting any but you're indifferent when it's available in an ongoing relationship: "It's a bit like Thanksgiving. You can smell that turkey cooking and you're practically drooling. Come the day after, you'd rather eat mashed up grasshoppers than face another slice." Keeping sex alive in a relationship is linked with keeping communication alive, and Cox gives you tips for accomplishing this, too. Other topics include jealousy, sex after marriage, infidelity, destructive relationships, and how to get over a break-up. --Joan Price

IF YOU HAVE TO COMMIT CRIMES TO GET THIS BOOK, DO IT........2004-01-26
Entertaining book, very insightful.......2004-01-07
Should be retitled "Hot Air".......2002-03-23
2. Saying "I love you" without meaning it is a "harmless male fib" for "I want to sleep with you". (this is where my relationship problems are - I can't read minds)
3. You can remain friends with an ex "if the split was mutual". But what if, even in a mutual split, there was deception, abuse and/or manipulation involved? Do friends of the same sex treat each other this way? I believe a couple can remain friends after a breakup, but ONLY IF both parties played fair throughout the relationship, which is rarely the case. Usually, "Let's be friends" means "I don't want to face the consequences of my behavior".
4. "I'll call you" is another "harmless fib"...
5. A size 12 is a "cow". Thanks, Tracey!
I'll give this book 5 stars!.......2001-04-08
Rational, sensible, and useful information and advice.......2000-09-01
Cox is respectful of both sides of every story, and her advice is middle-of-the-road, and very reasonable. She takes partnership seriously, but includes a wonderful chapter on what's great about being on one's own, too.
For adults, much of what she promotes and explains has perhaps been seen elsewhere - in my case, in the many advice columns, magazine articles, and self-help books that have come my way over the years.
But for teenagers and young adults, I would recommend this book without reservation. In fact it's a book that a really good high school "Health" class might include as recommended reading. All kids would benefit from its wisdom.

Stomp and Swerve: American Music Gets Hot, 1843-1924
David Wondrich Manufacturer: Chicago Review Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 155652496X |
Book Description
The early decades of American popular music-Stephen Foster, Scott Joplin, John Philip Sousa, Enrico Caruso-are, for most listeners, the dark ages. It wasn't until the mid-1920s that the full spectrum of this music-black and white, urban and rural, sophisticated and crude-made it onto records for all to hear. This book brings a forgotten music, hot music, to life by describing how it became the dominant American music-how it outlasted sentimental waltzes and parlor ballads, symphonic marches and Tin Pan Alley novelty numbers-and how it became rock 'n' roll. It reveals that the young men and women of that bygone era had the same musical instincts as their descendants Louis Armstrong, Elvis Presley, James Brown, Jimi Hendrix, and even Ozzy Osbourne. In minstrelsy, ragtime, brass bands, early jazz and blues, fiddle music, and many other forms, there was as much stomping and swerving as can be found in the most exciting performances of hot jazz, funk, and rock. Along the way, it explains how the strange combination of African with Scotch and Irish influences made music in the United States vastly different from other African and Caribbean musics; shares terrific stories about minstrel shows, "coon" songs, whorehouses, knife fights, and other low-life phenomena; and showcases a motley collection of performers heretofore unknown to all but the most avid musicologists and collectors.Customer Reviews:

From hitting the weights to putting your job in perspective, the 400-plus-page Men's Health Longevity Program guides you through a wide-ranging, scientifically proven, 12-week course designed to add a decade or more to your life.Men who want to know how they can slow their body's inevitable deterioration from age will find a wealth of insightful advice, attributed to health professionals from various fields. The editors at Men's Health books are adept at making medical information meaningful and interesting to regular guys. Clear, step-by-step photos show how to flex your way through the exercise routines without reaching for the ice pack.
Each week of the longevity program has its own chapter with a unique theme, from "eating for maximum energy" to "rediscovering your sense of purpose." Within each week, you're assigned six daily tasks. Some are as simple as eating a good breakfast, while others call for a time--and monetary--commitment, such as setting up a home workout area.
The idea is that after three months you'll have sampled "almost every possible thing you can do to improve and lengthen your life," but only by turning many of these tasks into habits will you earn the bonus years of good health. --Bryan Berry
Customer Reviews:
Great all around advise..........2002-01-24
Good advice on how to look and feel better.......2001-03-08
The basic premise of this book is that if you exercise, eat well, and feel good about yourself, you will live a longer and happier life. The book is divided into 12 weeks, with each week focusing on a certain topic (e.g. eating healthy). Each day of the week, you are given an "assignment" to do. An assignment may be to do some upper body exercises or buy some grooming products. In theory, you are supposed to follow this routine by reading and completing each day's assignment on that day, then read and complete the next assignment tomorrow, and so on. In reality, most people will probably do what I did and read this like any other book, over a couple of days.
The recommendations in this book seem to be based on reputable scientific research. It is apparent that they authors have done their homework and they often provide quotes from various experts or research studies. I was also please to learn that their recommendation seemed to be very current. Even research that was published within the last year or so is quoted in this book.
It is apparent that several authors wrote this book and I found a couple of instances where the book contradicts itself. Example: In one chapter they warn against running with hand weights because it alters your natural stride and this can cause problems. In a later chapter, hand weights are recommended as way to slow yourself down if you run faster than your running partner. None of these contradictions are material though and this is a minor criticism.
This is a review of the unabridged AUDIBLE.COM (downloadable audio) version of this book. The only problem with this format, for this type of book, is that this book often list items (e.g. foods you should buy). Unless you have paper handy, and can write fast, you'll miss these. The book also describes various exercise or stretching techniques. The verbal descriptions are OK, but without a drawing or photo to show you how to perform the maneuvers, it is often difficult to translate the words into actions.
Overall I was very pleased with this purchase. If you want to improve the way you look and feel, I'd highly recommend this book.
