"Plaited Glory" should have been written a long time ago. I am a young woman from Jamaica who, despite peer pressure and social pressure, has always kept my hair natural. I was so happy to find this book as I was growing my hair once again. I found Ms. Bonner's advice on hair care products and general care of black NATURAL hair very practical and useful. I am now locking my hair and read the hairlocking chapter of Ms. Bonner's book everyday. It is my "hair bible." I go to it whenever I have doubts about how I should treat my hair and what I should be doing to improve its health. I have recommended this book to many black women with natural hairstyles. Thank you for filling this obvious gap. It should not be so hard to find out how to care for NATURAl black hair, but your book is the best resource I've found to date. Most other books or articles give only an account of the history behind natural hairstyles. (Ms. Bonner, too, includes colourful and humorous stories in her book that illustrate society's view of natural hairstyles.) They don't provide information on how to groom and manage those styles. There should be many more books like this available to black women.

This book helped me get started on my road to natural hair care. In April I decided to go natural I have had my hair in braids since then, its now October. I am ready to move on to locks with no starting point. A friend recommended this book, Ohmigash am I glad she did. I learnt how to wash my hair, clean my roommates scalp, without disturbing her loc/coils/twist. The home remedies in this book really work I tried one the day after I read the book..... If your looking to learn our hair this book is a must have.Lonnice has charm, wit and intelligence which comes bursting through the pages of this little book. While I am definitely in favor of chemical free hair (that means no chemical texturizing either) you can still use a lot of the info in this book. I have found that texturizing can be done naturally by cornrowing or twisting your hair. See Pamela Ferrell's book about this subject matter. I think you should include this book in your library as a reference guide because it does have some goods tips, especially about conditioning your hair. Some of the products can't be found anymore but hey there are others that can be substituted and as long as you understand the concept Lonnice is trying to convey who cares what the product is called, just do it.Want Plaited Glory: For Colored Girls Who've Considered Braids, Locks, and Twists Discount?
I had become more and more interested in growing out my relaxer and wearing my hair natural. After finding enough information on the internet, and finally decided to do the big chop. I bough Lonnice Bonner's book so get some more tips on how to style and care for my hair. It's a really great, and very funny book which talks about Lonnice's personal hair experience. It gives great advice on how to care for natural hair, and shows some pictures and styles. The only reason I give it 4 stars and not 5, is because I was lookiing more for some intructions on how to actually do styles. But I would definitely recommend this book. It's an easy read.
I practice Dahn Yoga and healing and went to healer's school a year ago. I wanted to check this out to brush up on what I learned, to add more massage techniques to my practice and to study the meridian and accupresure points. If you just want to learn basic massage or increase your practice, this book is very good.

Living in a newly incorporated city, this book has spurred my interest into finding out what programs my community offers and what, if any, master energy plan is set for my city's future. I love the benefit of the plentiful pages of resources that may help jump-start a green energy plan/program for individuals, organizations, cities, and so forth.
In A Palliative Ethic of Care: Clinical Wisdom at Life's End, Joseph J. Fins, MD, has written a timely and sage book whose readership is likely to include the clinician, the legal practioner, as well as the lay person. Dr. Fins addresses the history of palliative care in careful, measured tones, and he writes well. The book's greatest asset may be its respect for its subject, the dying, and Dr. Fins gives all concerned parties equal voice in his sensitive, yet instructive text on life's final moments. This book should be on the required reading list for everyone who has to address a loved one's (as well as their own) death.

People have been wearing perfumes and using various other scented products for decades. What changed? Perfumes are *not* made from natural sources, nor are they safe, as falsely advertised to be. They contain hundreds of deleterious chemicals, having maimed and disabled millions of people -people of all ages. Given the fact that perfumes do no bear warning labels, I wrote this book in hopes to educate people about the truth behind an industry that has no regard for health and a government that condones it. Please read my book and demand safer products. You and you children deserve much better. Perfumes are only nice if you enjoy slathering yourself in greasy petrochemicals, neurotoxins, hazardous waste and nearly 100 carcinogens, just to mention a few of their products' contents. Get a Whiff of This will enlighten you to the truth. Personally, I wish someone would have informed me years ago, as I'm a former perfume user.

Wonderful book full of truth, and don't we all love those books? Unfortunately, half of us will refuse to accept the truth and "blame" other people for our problems. The problem is that half of us create disease in our bodies from eating the wrong foods or using the wrong "beauty" products. Products like perfumes, aftershaves, deodorants, body creams, and sprays are so poisonous to the body's natural equilibrium. I would love for this book to be advertised on TV. Man oh Man how that would cause some controversy amongst the big pharma companies who dish out all this poisonous crap! in fact, when I win big on the lottery or sell enough of my own books, I will sponsor Connie in any which way she would love to market her book.Want Get a Whiff of This: Perfumes (fragrances) -- the Invisible Chemical Poisons Discount?
Every woman worries about getting breast cancer because there is such a high incidence rate in this country: NINE out of TEN women will get breast cancer. One has to wonder why; certainly, our doctors can't (or maybe "won't") tell us. After reading this book, it makes perfect "scents." I never knew perfume, cologne and products that have "fragrance" in them contain deadly carcinogens (in fact, the very same ones found in tobacco smoke). This book contains convincing and legitimate scientific and medical data confirming that fragrance chemicals are also composed of neurotoxins and teratogens (which cause birth defects).
