A light in the darkness.......2003-09-10

I got this devotional several years ago, and it gave me hope.
Earlier this year I spent time at Remuda Ranch, and this devotional continued to lift my spirits. I have, unfortunately, relapsed badly, but my little devotional continues to give me encuragement and to remind me that recovery is possible.

little steps toward recovery.......2002-07-30

As a former patient of Remuda, I was given this book on my first day of treatment. I read it faithfully throughout the year, and I found hope and encouragement in those pages as I read the stories of women like me. For anyone struggling with an eating disorder or for their loved ones, this book is an important tool for recovery.

Good daily meditation/devotional.......2001-12-11

My daughter has used this book and was recommended by a counselor to her. It is very good for beginning the day with God and touches on many struggles, joys, fears, etc. that those with an eating disorder go through.

Beyond The Looking Glass: Overcoming the Seductive Culture of Corporate Narcissism is organizational psychologist Alan Downs's provocative exploration of high-profile corporate leaders (such as Al Dunlap and Robert Allen) who literally have only one thing on their minds: profits. Such narrow focus actually may yield positive short-term benefits, Downs writes, but ultimately it will drag down individual employees as well as entire companies. Alternative thinking is proposed, and some firms now utilizing these options are examined.

Book Description

Lucretia said, “Someone came up with the idea of letting you look into Nomar. All here thought Garrickson had led the demons during the last war. Then, from Shoddoe, we find Garrickson was no more than a puppet in the demon lord's hands. This same demon lord is hiding in the mists where we cannot touch him. Xavier, as it seems, is still lost somewhere in the void and they want to send you into that unknown!” Bella paled and started to refuse, then thought. Maybe if I do this, I can find some answers. She said, “I will try.” Bella had been teleported to this realm by magical artifacts she had discovered in a secret passageway in her Scottish home. Never believing in magic, she discovered she had immense powers, but would all her magic be enough to save this land on the brink of war?

Book Description

Beyond the Looking Glass is the story of a young boy, who at age 14, dares to venture outside the boundaries of his small world by hopping on a freight train. Like Alice who found her Wonderland when she passed through her Looking Glass, the author finds looking glasses that do not reflect the Wonderland that lays beyond or the Mad-Hatter characters he encounters along the way toward Rite of Passage. The reader experiences the young lad's immaturity, then his gradual maturation as he overcomes obstacles in his quest to join the navy during World War Two. He succeeds at the age of 16 in his quest and participates in the Saipan and Guam amphibious landings and later the re-taking of the Philippine Islands where his aircraft carrier suffers a kamikase attack. Bob Quinn's story begins with the encounter of his first Looking Glass--a slow moving freight train-------

Book Description

Edgar Wind was one of the most distinguished art historians and philosophers of the twentieth century. He made crucial contributions to debates on aesthetics and on the interdisciplinary nature of cultural history involving such other leading figures as Ernst Cassirer and Erwin Panofsky. It is not always realized, however, that his early thinking was molded by a concern with the German philosophical tradition, culminating in the analysis of the meaning and function of scientific experimentation and proof.

This first edition in English of Edgar Wind's important work 'Das Experiment und die Metaphysik: Zur Auflösung der kosmologischen Antinomien' (1934) also carries a new introduction by Matthew Rampley, placing Wind's philosophical thinking in context.

A classic on supplements.......2007-10-11

This book is one of the best books on why you benefit from Vitamin C, E, the B's and niacin (which is one of the B's) that I have read. I keep it on my desk, and refer to it frequently. If you have high cholesterol you need to read this book.

great information for food allergies and mental disorders.......2007-10-10

This book is one of my class requirements. I have really enjoyed the information shared in this book. A lot of information about the B vitamins, and how vitamin deficiencies can create a myriad of symptoms. Muscle testing for food allergies is also explained in this book, and how important this fundamental procedure is to determining symptoms/weaknesses in our bodies. A very well written book. My only negative comment is that the author(s) seem to think meat and milk are somewhat important in our diets! Our intestines and teeth show the reasoning for us not consuming animal products, and the ill health of America today vs other countries with no or minimal meat consumption can certainly back up that statement!

Pretty Good Over View of Many Different Alternative Aspects.......2007-07-01

It can be really deep and a little to blaming but it is really good!

Good reading for laypeople, disappointing for scientists.......2003-01-07

There are two kinds of books that deal with bio-medical issues: those that have reputable scientific references located within the book, and those that don't. This book does not. If this book had the hundreds of journal articles needed to back up Dr. Hoffer's claims, I would have given it a 4 or 5 star rating. The bottom line is that if a scientific book does not have any references, they may as well be telling you that the world is flat. Time and time again Dr. Hoffer says that he has evidence about the effectiveness of this vitamin or that. Put in the references, Dr. Hoffer!

Part of the book is good---it recommends a balanced diet with no processed foods. This mantra reminds of the conversation I once had with a German exchange student in my laboratory. I was walking by him and his German ladyfriend, who was smoking, and I joked "Hey, how come you Germans smoke and drink, but still live as long as us Americans do?" Well, the German student thought long and hard about my "joke", and came up with an answer. He said that in Europe, there are hardly any fast-food restaurants and no supermarkets. All food is much more fresh and has a much shorter shelf life, and since its located in small stores, the inventory is quickly rotated. So his conclusion is that the processed foods shortened the American life span to that of Germans, who smoke and drink much more than we do. In other words, if someone does not smoke, drink, or eat processed foods, they should live to at least 90 years old, not 75.

Some other parts of the book are not very good. Dr. Hoffer claims that all vitamins are safe---they are not!!! He recommends megadosing with vitamins B3, B6, and vitamin C. Of these three vitamins, only C is safe to megadose with. B3 megadosing can cause liver damage and panic attacks, and if someone is also on psychiatric medication, they could die from the serotonin syndrome, the same syndrome that kills some users of the illegal drug Extasy. B6 may also cause the serotonin syndrome if mixed with psychiatric medication, and even by itself, megadosing with B6 can produce permanent peripheral nerve damage. For a more detailed analysis of vitamin side effects, the book The Failures of American Medicine is an excellent reference.

Comprehensive review of vitamins and minerals.......2002-04-07

It is frustrating that the medical profession, in its ignorance, arrogance, and smugness, looks down on "megavitamin" therapy. Vitamins were placed here by the creator(s), to keep us healthy. The drugs "pushed" by MDs were created by Frankenstein in a lab, and frankly, Frankenstein barely understood one tenth of what he was doing, which explains all those side effects.

To give you a taste of this useful book, Vitamin B3 (niacin or niacinamide) is far more important and necessary than we thought it was. The author goes into detail explaining the things that B3 can do for us.

The section on pyroluriacs is new to me, and fascinating. If you don't know what a pyroluriac is, you may want to find out here. It is a condition verifiable by scientific testing, and the symptoms are correctable using various nutrients.

This book gives a very good explanation of so many vitamins and minerals. Read it, and you will be sure to get some ideas for yourself.

Disappointing - very heavy color schemes.......2007-04-25

I agree with a previous reviewer. You won't find many references to pastels/softer colors. Expect to see representations of 'extreme' color schemes that - in my opinion - must of us won't use in our homes.

I bought this book as well:

Essential reading if you're decorating with feng shui .......2005-03-09

Feng shui recommends colors for each area of your home or business. However, turning this into an impressive color scheme often requires advice beyond standard feng shui books. "Annie Sloan's Color Schemes: For Every Room" is one of the very best if you want your surroundings to look as if you've hired a professional decorator.

Let's say that you're working on your Fame and Reputation area, which is often what visitors see first when they enter your home or office. Red is recommended, but... then what?

In Annie Sloane's lavishly illustrated book, you can start at the "Reds Plus" page and choose a color theme. For example, if you'd like a Pacific Islands look, start with Hibiscus Red--a slightly orange-ish red--and accent it with Gauguin Blue, a greyish medium blue.

Next, turn to the Pacific Islands section of the book and see the many other colors that will work well with your basic red and blue "islands" theme. You may want to add Banana Leaf Green, Lagoon Blue, Guava Orange, or Mango Yellow.

And, if these colors don't sound familiar, the book is filled with good, large swatches. You can take the book to the paint or home furnishings store to match the looks that you like.

If you'd prefer an African Visions theme for your Fame area, Ms. Sloan suggests starting with Ghana Red and Clearwater Green. If your tastes are more traditional and favor antiques, choose the Neoclassical colors of Aubusson Pink and a lovely bamboo shade of brown called Sandstone.

For your Money area, instead of overloading the corner with purples, choose an Elizabethan Pageant theme, and a muted Lavender Sachet shade, accented by a lovely pale Cambridge Blue. If you favor vivid colors reminiscent of fine art and the coast of France, Ms. Sloan offers an Impressionist palette. Or, Mambo Carnival colors may liven up an otherwise sedate or dark corner.

What I like best about this book is that it helps me to break out of the "crayon box colors" approach to feng shui. I'm using this book when decorating, but also for innovative color combinations in my art and photography.

If you're working with color for any reason, but especially with feng shui, I heartily recommend "Annie Sloan's Color Schemes: For Every Room." --Aisling D'Art, Feng Shui editor, BellaOnline

Eye-opener.......2003-08-14

How many people can put together a room's palette, in the right tone and hue, all the way down to the third accent color. Not me.

This book was fun to study. The colors she picks really do work well together. I sort of felt like I was cheating a bit to think to just lift the entire palette from the page and use in my apartment, but on the other hand, "traditional" color schemes use standard collections as well.

I liked the Manhattan styles most. Yes, they did remind me of some "crisp" apartments I've seen.

Great inspiration for little affectionate acts........2001-11-16

As parents, we often hear that it's important to bolster a child's self-esteem. But how? And how is "self-esteem" different from "self-confidence" (or, in the extemes, "arrogance")?

The best way I've seen it described is: "A child gains self-esteem when they feel valued by the important people in their lives." And I think the best way to make a child feel valued is to let them know that you're constantly thinking of them in an affectionate way.

And that's what this book is about. It's full of ideas - each one of them small and easy to implement - that show them just that. I was very impressed by the variety of the ideas and how on-target they are. And once you've done enough of them you really develop your own instict for how to generate new ideas.

Suggestions that really will make your child feel special.......2000-08-15

If you try the suggestions in this book, not only will your child feel special, but you will too. When doing the activities in the book, you will build a closer relationship with your child. These activities remind you of how important it is to spend time with your child and how important it is to recognize your child's individuality. These activities also bring out the creativity and fun in your child.

Most of the activities are hands-on...like making things together. Some are about doing things outside, and others are about communicating together. All of them are really great.

Book Description

This "tour de force of analysis" (Joel Agee) examines the life and work of the prolific, visionary writer, painter and critic. Kemp finds in Ruskin's life -- which spanned the same years as Queen Victoria's and thus embodied the Victorian era itself -- a faithful mirror of the history and psychological evolution of his age.

Flora MacDonald: The Most Loyal Rebel.......2007-05-28

Hugh Douglas has produced a very well researched and lucidly written book on the famous highland heroine.
The sometimes complicated family and clan relationships are very well and easily explained in this volume.
This book debunks many of the myths and legends that have grown around this singularly impressive woman. She was most certainly legendary and deserving of the status which she attained, and it is refreshing to read the facts of her saga.
Hugh Douglas is to be congratulated for this highly commended work.
