1 Perfect Name for my Baby

This book can help you find the perfect name for your baby. This is not just one of the biggest lists of baby names ever published. It will help give your baby the best possible start in life. There are 55,000 baby names complete with language of origin and meaning. But there's much more, it contains 14 sections in point form explaining the pitfalls that parents can encounter when naming their babies. There are over 600 panels with interesting information about the most popular names. Plus an exclusive survey of 1100 teenagers shows: Why one-third of teenagers don't like their names; and what parents can do to assure their future teenagers do like their names. It's far more than just a dictionary of names. It's interesting and informative and hard to put down.

Anatomy of Peace (pb)

By the bestselling authors of Leadership and Self- Deception (more than 400,000 copies sold and translated into 18 languages), The Anatomy of Peace is a powerful and inspirational story about finding peace within ourselves and in our relationships - at home, at work, and in our communities. This book shows how we are often mistaken in our views of others and ourselves, and how we therefore often misread the cause of problems and fail to see how our situations can be improved. It also shows how we tend to incorrectly project blame onto external circumstances or onto other people, instead of looking inward and confronting the true source of our conflicts. Our hope for peace, both internal and external, depends most on our ability to overcome the war that has come to afflict our own hearts. Only by fostering a personal, inner peace can we find ways to resolve the conflicts and overcome the problems that are troubling our homes, our workplaces, or our communities. Woodslane are delighted to be offering it as a paperback original exclusive to the Australian and New Zealand Markets.

Great Australian Diet Book: The Atkins Alternative

Can a diet high in protein and fat really be the best route to healthy short-term weight loss? Can a diet low on carbs, veggies and grains really pave the way for long term health and fitness? Your common sense tells you 'No!' and Dr John Tickell agrees. For the Great Australian Diet John has examined cultures across the globe to see which diets and lifestyles result in the healthiest, happiest and longest-lived people. From a medical and cultural perspective he has studied the Atkins and other diets, noticing that many give warning to 'pregnant women, people on medication or with kidney disease or diabetes' not to follow them! He asks the question "Do we join the rest of the Western world, gradually breaking down our personal systems, or do we have a good look in the mirror, go back to basics and learn how to really live again?". Following on from themes first expounded in Laughter, Sex, Vegetable & Fish, Dr Tickell presents a dieting manifesto for Australia and all Australians. The 91-day Great Australian Diet shows us how. Dr John Tickell is no office-dwelling academic. He started out driving delivery trucks and diving for lost golf balls to fund a medical education, played AFL for the Hawthorn Hawks, was in a band that had a no. 1 hit record, and has since travelled the world - to over 70 countries - following a passion to learn about how people stay healthy and to use that knowledge to help others. He is the author of two previous books, A Passion for Living and Laughter, Sex, Vegetable and Fish, the latter having sold over 100,000 copies.
