Does anyone have any links to free downloads for CW?

 

tigertales-

 

If you "google" what you are asking, a bunch of hits will come up. Not sure if they are free, some have links to other sites attached to them....why I hesitate to post them here.

"Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers"

 

Great book with a science/medical bend to it, but very clear, humorous, and entertaining, even for people with little to no science background!

just wrote in another thread about this and then saw this one..how funny.. I just mentioned the book called "How to Stop Worrying and Start Living" by Dale Carnegie.  I love this guy..he is so interesting. It was written in the 40's and has some very interesting stories about all these well know people from that time like Rockefella and JC Penny and a lot of other big time millionaires.. These people were some of the biggest stress cases and worriers and they actually got through it and wrote a little bit about it at the request of the author for his book.. There are also dozens of person stories about people who lived through the days of the Dust Bowl and great depression. They are quick short stories so they really hold your interest and best of all you relate to them.  Love it :smitten:
