Best Tree Identifier Book Yet!.......2000-05-17
I have read and used many guide books and this one is one of the best, if not the best, concerning all species of trees found in the Sierra Nevada mountain range. It's extremely well done, and I would recommend it to any student of natural history, forestry, or botany no matter their level of academics.
Book Description
Smart, contemporary and compact guide helping travellers discover more from their city visit. Covers main attractions but also gives the freedom to escape the tourist trail.

Great guide to Siena and surrounding area.......2005-12-10
With the lovely town of Siena serving as home base for many visits to the Tuscany area, a good guidebook is invaluable. I'm a guidebook junkie--on a recent trip, I brought several guidebooks for the Tuscany area, but "Siena & the Heart of Tuscany" is the one we used the most. It's compact, but is full of great information. Rebecca Ford describes sights, restaurants, and accommodations in the various districts, or terzi, of Siena. Because Siena is a hill town, streets meander up and down and around, so the book's maps came in handy.
In addition to Siena, the book covers surrounding towns, including San Gimignano, Volterra, and Cortona. Note that Florence is not included.

Book Description
Far more than the inspiring story of the development of a revolutionary new energy healing technique,
Conscious Healing is a brilliant synthesis of modern and ancient wisdom applied to and through the human existential blueprint: DNA.
Sol Luckman's reader-friendly narrative details his experience of chronic illness and miraculous recovery thanks to the Regenetics Method of DNA activation, offering a ray of hope to those who, like the author, have "tried everything."
In addition, this cutting-edge text provides scientific substantiation for the work of alternative healers from many orientations, clearly and convincingly making the case for energy work in general. A must-read for anyone interested in alternative medicine, consciousness research, quantum biology, human evolution, or personal enlightenment.
Customer Reviews:
Interesting Healing Modality.......2007-09-20
This is a good read and fairly quick too. Make no mistake that it is a sales tool for the web site and the healing process available there. If you are looking for an instructional book this is not a book to buy. If you are open to some interesting research and insights into an interesting healing modality you will like what's here.
I rated it four stars because of the research references and Bibliography otherwise I would have given it a three.
Insert a Title Here.......2007-09-15
If you want to understand the workings behind a man who created a very simple yet hopefully revolutionary Sate of the Art Medicine. If you like the book Future of the Body, then you will like this one. Even more so because it is so much shorter. I recommend both to anyone.
Looking for advanced healing techinques?.......2007-08-24
If you are familiar with the chakras, idea of experiencing your beliefs, and enlightenment, but are looking for a new kind of healing, this book wraps these ideas together in it's explanation of DNA. It presents scientific information in a readable and interesting way. It does not, however, offer techniques you can try on your own. The therapy described in the book must be performed by the author either in person or through his website.
Modern Science & Metaphysics Meet to Create Consious Healing.......2007-05-27
I love this book. There's such a rich mixture of literary, scientific and metaphysical insights and ideas. I love the whole description of the process of healing involving conscious co-creation. I keep coming back to the illustrations that speak so clearly to how we fundamentally both influence and are influenced by our electromagnetic environment. As one who has walked my own journey of healing and awakening it makes SO much sense to address healing at the blueprint level. Thanks Sol for the gift of the work and this book!

Revelatory and Visionary Substance.......2007-05-19
I have read the book several times. I am so thrilled to learn more about some of the science to back up what I suspected about the extent to which we can and do transact with DNA and the role consciousness plays in all of life's processes that I have been reading about in other texts. The writer's courage to put some very controversial texts together with the science was so gratifying for me. I really enjoy the way he writes about these things. Luckman's writing and the way he explains and connect things put a lot of disparate pieces of so many puzzles together for me. I also appreciate Mr. Luckman's generosity to tell the story about his own body. His story and those found in the back of the book concretely demonstrate that miracles are possible.

Creative stepping stones.......2003-05-01
If you are even remotely interested in the fascinating culture of the Maya than this book will more than peak your interest. It is not a significant historical document, but rather features some of the most intriguing drawings from the mysterious culture. The drawings themselves are masterful black and white details of Maya life. The drawings are a young educators dream, the pictures would make good reproductions for distribution for students to use. For students, the possibilities are endless, but one thing that can be done is use them for a mural or enlarged drawings. While teaching, I used these drawings for that purpose and students created giant posters that they worked on in groups in their FREE time during lunch and later were displayed for festive occasions celebrating cultural heritage. Anyway, the drawings are really nice and bold and full of ideal designs for graphic artists, craftspeople or any type of visual artist to translate into a new work of art. The exotic pictures are not without some written word as the author gives a brief overview of the culture. The book begins with an excerpt from the Mayan book "The Popul-Vuh. " Each page is numbered in English and Mayan for an addional bonus for students. An explanation is given regarding the number system and the complex calendar as well as the omens associated with each day. Many of the drawings come from details in the huge stellae, thoses monuments to a forgotten time found in the remote jungles of places like Tikal and throughout the Yucatan and Honduras. The drawing are rich in detail and some require extensive looking at to "find" all the elements of exotic intrigue. Bits and pieces can be used to create your own design or for an inspiration for something new. A truly fascinating small book with unlimited possibilities for the creative person to unleash their skills.

A Very Authentic Book.......2005-03-04
This is a nicely readable nonfiction book on Mayan weaving. It is a nice, more focused alternative to the broader subjects of the Mayans in general, which tend to be too wordy and detailed for some young readers. Color photos of Mayan girls and women in traditional garb are the best thing about the book. If you go to Guatemala, this is exactly what you will see!

Call of the Loon by David C. Evers/Wonderful teaching tool.......2007-01-10
This book was a wonderful teaching tool for anyone interested in learning about loons. Not only was there a wealth of information in the book, but the addition of the DVD really augmented the learning process. I would recommend this book very highly.
Loved the book, but not the DVD.......2007-01-03
The text and photos in this book are excellent, so I highly recommend the book. BUT the accompanying DVD "Loons, Lakes & Mist", which I was very much looking forward to, was a big disappointment. Yes, the live loon webcam captures the loons in special situations. However the constant, loud, pounding, music is all wrong as background for any film about loons. You want quiet, so you can hear the call of the loon. You can turn off the sound, which I suggest you do, but then there is no call of the loon.
Clarity of Call of the Loon.......2006-08-06
I have been giving public nature talks on loons for years and I find Call of the Loon the best researched,up to date source yet. The beautiful photographs illustrate the loon data so the book appeals to all ages. I recommend it daily in my talks.
Summer's "Must Have" .......2006-06-14
Buy this today for your favorite birder, environmentalist, outdoor enthusiast and for your own coffee table! Beautifully written with exquisite photographs, Call of the Loon is a thoroughly readable and enjoyable treatise on the loon for the lay person and biologist alike.
Book Description
- Offers an up-to-date, authoritative book on loons. - A perfect blend of personal experience and research.
Customer Reviews:
wonderful loon book.......2005-10-05
This is the best book about loons that I have found thus far...the photos are lovely and not typical and there is so much detailed information about everything you would want to know about loons...the style is clear and concise with photos and information in tandem reinforcing what Mr Strong tells of his travels and experiences with loons and others who study them. Photos are all well and good, but when an author is this knowledgable and organized in thought, it is a pleasure to see as well as learn about these unusual birds. You will NOT be disappointed!
Simply the best Loon book on the market!.......2000-05-18
Lovely, interesting book! It's packed with information, but written in such a comfortable style that it's a pleasure to read. The writing is so clear. Strong has great respect for and love of the loon. I can't say enough about Strong's obvious integrity and appreciation for nature. You will want to own this! The selected reading list in the back gives info for those who would like to read even more. I bought two to give as gifts. (take a look at his "Wild Moose Country" book too!)
Product Description
7 pages. These exquisite patterns have captured the haunting beauty of Loons in their natural landscape.

Customer Reviews:
listen to what the man says..........2007-03-06
acting is acting and if you can act onstage, you can act on-camera, probaly true but still before you make your move to the silver screen, read this book...Michael Cain reveals insider secrets, tips and straight forward talk about acting from a grand master..what a gem of a book for anyone interested in film...
Nothing but net..........2006-11-10
This book is short and sweet, right to the point and actually pretty fun to read. Michael Caine knows what he's doing (ridiculously obvious comment of the day) and he gives a lot of great tips to actors and filmmakers alive. I am a director and I've read dozens of books on directing and there are things in this slim volume that I have never seen anywhere else.
Spot On.......2006-11-02
Michael Caine's awareness of what makes screen acting different than the stage, and his ability to perform with that awareness and then share it with others is a gift to all actors, as well as those who want to understand what makes an actor great and a movie superb or a bomb. There is nothing better for acting on screen.
a good tool for filmmakers and film actors.......2006-06-01
Caine provides a succinct account of where he's been and what he's learned in the world behind the camera. Tips are thrown at the actor as we visit Caine's memories and experiences in film. There were only a few pieces of knowledge I was able to pull from the text in the end, and in that sense I feel a little shortchanged. But the book was an interesting and easy read, and should be read by anyone whose experience behind the camera has been very minimal or independent.
Main theme: If you want to act and entertain OTHER PEOPLE, don't treat people like [...].

I nformative Material.......2007-01-11
I thought this book was especially good for letting us know the real Michael Caine - his East London background, his dogged determination to succeed and his progression towards becoming an icon in the movie industry. The revelation about his unknown long lost brother was a surprise. Overall well worth reading.
