      Book Description

      Though the catalyst for much of his poetry, Robert Burns' sex life is usually denied, ignored, or glossed over. Here Hugh Douglas examines the extravagance that shaped Burns' life and poetry, tracing the poet's relationships with women - from his mother to his mistress to his wife.

      5 out of 5 stars Burns is pleased from his place in history for Mr. Douglas' biography of him!.......2007-03-29

      To say the least, THE TINDER HEART is the best biography of Robert Burns ever written. I have each page tagged with "Post-It's" in order NOT to turn down the corner of a single page. I have written; however, in every available space. This book covers the essence of whom and what Robert Burns was. Hugh Douglas took the years of Burns life, broke them down into the different periods of life as to where he lived, and explained each in great detail. Timelines, to me, are of great importance. Within this portrait of Burns, the "Clarinda/Jean Armour" time period is significant. "Ae Fond Farewell" has an entire new meaning to me. One needs to read THE TINDER HEART in order to understand my comment. This is only one instance where Mr. Douglas taught me more than I would have learned from anyone else!

      Not only did he do this but he also quoted from other Burns biographies. The full spectrum is awesome! I looked at some of the other authors' books but none can compare to the great writing ability of Mr. Douglas. He kept me reading from page to page without want to put this book down!

      I'm sure the fact that Hugh Douglas also hails from Aryshire has a lot to do with the brilliance behind his writing this particular biography. One of my wishes in life is to meet this writer of impeccable ability and talent to make one understand the true personality of the "ploughman poet." I have gone from a beginner in knowledge of Robert Burns to an American of Scot heritage that is proud of the fact that because of THE TINDER HEART, she knows much more about the National Bard (N with a capital N, and B with a capital B) of Scotland. Many of Burns escapades aren't boasted nor toasted on Burns Night. Mr. Douglas brought to life a real man whose realism got him into trouble a lot of times but who still wrote magnificent poetry. Robert Burns was passionate not only about his women but also his children, family and friends.

      If I were to choose one biography out of the lot written about Robert Burns then THE TINDER HEART by Hugh Douglas is the one to purchase! You need NOT spend your money elsewhere!

      Cheers! Janet "the Other Scot"

      Book Description

      Believing that drugs and psychoanalysis were not always the best course of treatment for a variety of mental illnesses, Dr. Carl Pfeiffer began an extensive program of research into the causes and treatment of mental illness, and in 1973 opened the Brain Bio Center in Princeton, New Jersey. Here, with a team of scientists, he found that many psychological problems can be traced to biochemical imbalances in the body. With these patients, he achieved unprecedented success in treating a wide range of mental problems by adjusting diet and providing specific nutritional supplements for those conditions where deficiences exist. This book documents his approach.

      Each year, thousands of people are diagnosed as schizophrenic; many more suffer from depression, anxiety, and phobias.

      Dr. Pfeiffer's methods of treatment presented in Nutrition and Mental Illness are a valuable adjunct to traditional therapies, and can bring hope of real wellness to many of those who suffer.

      1 out of 5 stars Nutrition or just plain nutty?.......2006-01-05

      This book seems to be full of formulae for curing mental illnesses. After I finished reading it, I tried to look up "pyroluria" in the Merck Manual and several reputable nutrition books...it wasn't listed. Then I checked the internet and found plenty of listings, but only circular information, as though the writers relied on this book rather than doing original research. Another case of "let the buyer beware"! If you must read this book, try to find it in the library, I wish I had!

      1 out of 5 stars Outmoded, Outdated, and Out of Business..........2005-07-20

      Wow, I am amazed at the allure the Brain Bio Center still has after all these years. Its very existence seems to be hotly contested in this forum. Please allow me to settle this question once and for all. My Mom was a patient at the BBC and a former neighbor was an employee. However before I go any further, I should say that despite the "Princeton" attachment, BBC was never affiliated with Princeton University, which has no medical school. It wasn't even within Princeton's city limits; it actually was located in neighboring Montgomery Township (Skillman). But that is not surprising. Entities from churches to multi-million dollar companies who are physically in other municipalities have added "Princeton" to their names and/or rented PO Boxes to obtain a Princeton mailing address just to cash in on the prestige of the Princeton name. This is a very common practice in Central New Jersey. It is all marketing, hype, and horse feathers.

      Anyway, the Brain Bio Center has been OUT OF BUSINESS since the early 1990's. Why? Many insurance companies labeled BBC's methods "alternative" (read: questionable) and therefore refused to cover them. Most folks could ill afford to pay cash. BBC just couldn't survive. Carl Pfeiffer died in 1988, and his cohorts have since opened an institute in his name (also in Skillman) that carries on his work.

      I am not particularly interested in debating the merits or demerits of Orthomolecular Medicine. But I cannot refrain from one observation. The prevailing attitude regarding mental illness here appears to be "take a pill (or vitamin) and that will fix everything." Any mental health professional of worth would say that is a dangerous belief. Mental illness is much more complicated than that and requires more than simple chemical treatment. Been there, done that. Don't forget too that all kind of nutty treatments for mental illness and other things have come and gone through the years. Exercise good caution and get multiple opinions before you agree to the treatment of anything.

      In any case, don't forget this book is 17 years old--long before Al Gore invented the Internet ;-). We have learned so much about medicine and ourselves since then. Try to look for more up-to- date stuff, for comparison if nothing else.

      Therefore, I am giving this book one star, for being as obsolete and irrelevant as my long-discarded Commodore 64.

      5 out of 5 stars Do not believe "Kinda fishy" review, it is incorrect.......2005-05-30

      I did some research on what this reviewer said and found a few things. Reviewers said the Brain Bio Center was supposed to be in Skillman, NJ, but it says on the back of the book it was in Princeton, NJ. Reviewer said it was not listed in the phonebook. It's not likely because it is no more. The Brain Bio Center operator from 1972 until the early 80's. That would also account for there not being a web page for it. Unlike reviewer says, the full name of the institution is not "The Princeton Brain Bio Center". It is just "The Brain Bio Center" and it happened to be in Princeton. Reviewer said it is not associated with Princeton University and neither did the bio claim to be. The bio says "it is sponsored by the Schizophrenia Foundation of New Jersey and the New Jersey Mental Health Research and Development Fund".

      It seems the reviewer didn't do well enough research. Make sure your research is thorough. Be careful in believing the negative reviews on here. The reviewer lastly says megadoses of vitamins can be dangerous. Dr. Pfeiffer never mentions taking mega doses. He has exact amounts of each nutrient that should be taken.

      3 out of 5 stars Kind of Fishy.......2005-05-12

      Dr. Pfeiffer's book was very interesting, but there are some issues that cause me a bit of concern. First, the Brain Bio Center that is supposed to be in Skillman, NJ is not listed in the Skillman phone book. The phone number given in the back of the book got me a recording. They don't seem to have a web page. There are only two labs I found on an internet search that do testing for pyroluria, an interesting disorder mentioned in the book. The one in the US is called the Pfeiffer center. The full name of the Brain Bio Center is apparently the "Princeton Brain Bio Center" but is not affiliated with Princeton University, nor is it in Princeton. Most of the credible hits I got on the internet when searching for Pyroluria seemed to quote Dr. Pfeiffer or another doctor who is the head of the Pfeiffer Center. I could not find out how much the testing for pyroluria would cost.

      I'm not saying he is a quack, but in one day I found a lot of things that just didn't add up. Be careful before believing too much of what's in the book or investing too much money into this, and remember that megadoses of vitamins can be dangerous.

      5 out of 5 stars highly interesting medical research.......2004-11-18

      The author of this book, Carl Curt Pfeiffer, MD, PhD, was the Chair of the Pharmacology Department at the Emory University, which is known for its superb psychiatric research. At some point in his career, the State of New Jersey tasked him with investigating the causes of the more serious mental illness such as bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Not only do these illnesses cause huge disruptions to the lives of those so afflicted, but also are a significant burden to the taxpayer.

      After doing all sorts of tests - examining patients' blood and urine for unusual substances and characteristics, looking at hair mineral contents and much, much, more Dr. Pfeiffer, (and some coworkers) announced that they had made a number of breakthroughs. 30 some percent of this patient population, they announced, had a previously unknown form of Wilson's disease, a disease in which toxic copper accumulates in the brain. Another 30 some percent had a disorder in their body's ability to synthesize hemoglobin, which caused the depletion of vitamins crucial to a well-tempered brain. Another 10 or so percent had very unusual blood chemistries, yet another 10 percent or so suffered under food allergies that went undiagnosed because they only affected the brain. Dr. Pfeiffer attributed the last 10 percent to various rare or unknown causes. Even more dramatically, Pfeiffer found that all of the conditions he had discovered could be treated with nutritional supplements instead of expensive and side-effect laden medications. Interestingly enough, Ashley Bush, a neurologist at Massachusetts General Hospital, is reporting that some forms of Alzheimer's most likely are caused by the same tendency to accumulate copper that Dr. Pfeiffer identified.

      At the time that Pfeiffer published all this, psychiatric treatment in the United States, even for bipolar disorder, consisted of long (and costly) sessions of psychoanalysis of questionable efficacy, and strong medications. If there is a very real biological problem at the root of the illness, no amount of talking about one's early childhood or supposed repressed sexual frustrations will do the patient any good from a medical or financial point of view. Dr. Pfeiffer's findings that these illnesses had clear biological causes, and could quickly be cured by the use of nutritional supplements - that is without patented medications - and by general practitioners - was not completely welcome.

      The American Psychiatric Association convened a panel to investigate Dr. Pfeiffer's findings. To this day it is unclear if they got a fair hearing; one member of the panel went into it saying that even if every other psychiatrist in the United States would adopt Dr. Pfeiffer's therapies, he would refuse to believe that they worked. In any event, the panel found that there was no evidence that Dr. Pfeiffer's diagnostic or therapeutic guidelines had any validity. This is not to dispute that good intent was to be found on the panel; one of the experts, Loren Mosher, once responsible for such research at the NIH, had his own non-mainstream views on the causes of such disorders, and sacrificed his career to advance them.

      Curiously enough, there is a clinic in the outskirts of Chicago devoted to treating patients according to Dr. Pfeiffer's diagnostic and therapeutic guidelines. Among its thousands and thousands of patients, it has managed to successfully treat 65% of its patients without medications; in another 25% they see marked improvements. Either they have some of the best placebos known to mankind, or else Dr. Pfeiffer and his co-workers were wonderful doctors whose ideas smaller-minded doctors couldn't accept.

      I personally suspect that some further discoveries have been made in the years since Dr. Pfeiffer and his co-workers investigated all this. Specifically, there is evidence to suggest that heavy metals can cause the unusual substances found in the urine and the unusual blood counts of which Dr. Pfeiffer wrote. All the same, his therapies appear to be incomparably better than what most doctors in the United States have to offer. If I, or one of my loved ones, labored under the illnesses Dr. Pfeiffer sought to treat, I would be sure to acquaint myself with his work, and see what relief could be obtained. This book is the perfect introduction to his findings for lay readers.

      This book gives great information on preparing and handling food properly and of course the most important is how to store food before and after cooking. This book was a requirement for class but another book I purchase was not a requirement but I thought was extremely helpful was The Study Guide for the National Servsafe Exam. This book had very similar questions to what's in class and on the exam and it help me pass with high grades. Thank you Dr. Leonardi and Ms. Heilman

      This book is required for the Culinary school that I attend and I have found it extremely helpful. As its title implies, it is for the serious student and a good reference book to keep because it identifies foods, explains proper handling, storage, and preparation tecnique, and also includes recipes. If you just want to throw together a recipe, buy a Betty Crocker cookbook. If you want to do it the professional way, buy this book.

            This book tries to give an overview of the care and breeding of geckos, falling short of an inclusive "how to" book. It's coverage of classification and biology are good. These areas are often overlooked by many hobbiest. Faithful to its commercial publisher, it promotes various retail products available at pet stores. Many beautiful "foto glaze" pictures of geckos. Some of these pictures are of geckos rarely seen in any general gecko books.

                  5 out of 5 stars One Great Idea After Another!!.......2007-07-29

                  While there are a few duds here (I don't really need directions to "design" a charm bracelet; it's a plain link bracelet with charms attached.) this book has given me inspirations galore. A woman wanted to purchase the first bracelet I made from it right off my arm! Even after using it for a few years I still go back for ideas. In fact, I've noticed that "new" designs I've seen elsewhere recently have just been minor modifications of those in this book. I guess they've become classics!

                  It's a must for anyone who enjoys the quick satisfaction of a bracelet, or any beader looking for the best of the best from Beadwork magazine.

                  3 out of 5 stars Beadwork Creates Bracelets.......2005-09-15

                  I really like the book. Great illustrations and instructions.

                  The only negative I can find about this book is trying to keep it open while using.

                  4 out of 5 stars For more experienced beaders.......2002-12-11

                  Nice photos, beautiful patterns - but instructions are hard to follow if you are a novice beader. If you are looking for a variety of new patterns, however, it is a good book to have.

                        The case of down syndrome is one that is complex yet simple, and challenging yet easy. To understand the complexities that must occur to result in an affected patient is beyond most human comprehension. This book does a great job at highlighting the past milestones in research, yet focusing primarily on the future of study in this subject. Bill optomistically creates a nurturing sense of hope in all patients currently affected by this raveging disease, and instills hope for a better life, living life to the fullest

                          Book Description

                          This is a revealing book which, for the first time, investigates the central influence of feminism in the work of Le Corbusier; one of the most important and revered architects of all time.

                          The text covers Le Corbusier’s upbringing and training and sets this in the context of the cultural atmosphere of his time, covering issues of gender and religion. It reveals aspects of his private life such as personal relationships, which have barely been explored before as no biography currently exists. Furthermore, the author reveals, for the first time in print, a previously undiscovered and unpublished Le Corbusier building, making this book an incredibly significant addition to existing literature on the great man.

                          In short, the new evidence and theories contained in this volume amount to major revelations about this hugely revered and central architectural figure of the 20 th Century.

                          5 out of 5 stars A Pilgrim's Guide.......2003-09-09

                          One of my own meaningful pleasures in life is to visit those places that represent some personal or historical improtance in my life. While many such places include train tracks or a large rock in the woods or a particular church in Slovakia, meaningless to others, many others include the public squares of much of modern history. Charles Bridge in Prague is a favorite, as is Westminster Abbey in London. Places of importance for so many saints and sinners and in between. The value of this little book about Lewis is, to people like myself, obvious. Our connection through the page needs to be extended to the place. Lewis, whose writings have inspired our lives with magic and devotion, has also taught many of us the value of the particular. Through the particular we come to the universal. "There are no trees, only this Elm." Put another way, he teaches us the value of place and physicality.

                          For those American readers who have been to England it is clear that the island is the landscape of dragons and queens. Each page of this book is filled with those little details that tease us a little more and draw us closer. Filled with photos and maps, it contains VERY detailed descriptions of Lewis' old haunts, along with clear maps and suggestions for daytrips or overnighters. Even if you are not planning on going overseas, this book is a really unique addition to your Lewis collection.

                          You will also enjoy "Jack" by George Sayer if you are interested in Lewis' life. Two fantastic photo collections with descriptive text are "Through Joy and Beyond" by Hooper and "C. S. Lewis: Images of His World" by Kilby. Enjoy!
