The 'Thinker' Behind Nihilsm.......2000-05-22
Fredrich Nietzsche challenged all ideas that had not only come before him, but also those which proliferated during his own period. He "deconstructed" society and its "noble lies" in an attempt to show us that man "is something to be overcome." In this book, he attempted to debase all of society by proving that values and ethics are errors of humanity.
From this work by Nietzsche we can begin to understand "will to power" and the nihilism which, as Nietzsche believes, powers society.
This is an excellent book for anyone trying to understand what "nihilism" and the "will to knowledge and power" are. There is no philosopher who can explain this better than Nietzsche, nor is there a book that explains this better than "Nietzsche's Genealogy: Nihilism and the Will to Knowledge."
Book Description
Canine Cooking That Will Have Them Begging for More
Which do you think your dog would prefer: dry kibble, mushy canned food, or a nice, nutritionally sound helping of Tuna Togetherness? Not surprisingly, most dogs would be happier -- and healthier -- with the latter, considering the dangerous preservatives, questionable ingredients, and mysterious flavoring agents often used in commercial dog food.
That's why Rudy Edalati cooked up
Barker's Grub, a cookbook filled with wholesome, easy-to-prepare meals for your mutt or your pedigreed pooch -- and you'll find all the necessary ingredients in your fridge or at the local supermarket. She includes not only fun everyday meals, but healing meals for specific health problems, as well as special diets for different life stages, such as:
* Lo Mein Barking Style: the doggie alternative for Chinese takeout
* Beef Puppy Food: just the right mix for a growing dog
* Davie's Juicy Jiggly-Wiggly Anemia Diet: a blood-boosting dish of liver, rice, and spinach
Barker's Grub is informative (there's lots of canine nutritional information to chew on), inspiring, and just plain fun. The recipes are simple and quick -- after all, it's not just about health and longevity, it's about making the most of the time you and your dog spend together.
Customer Reviews:
excellent book.......2007-09-09
this is a great book, it gives you excellent supplements, and nutritional information. i recommended it to my vet. thanks.
Great book.......2007-08-27
Easy to read, all recipes very "do-able", for a non- gourmet chef, but a pet owner who wishes to feed their pets good food.
Not as good as others about the same subject.......2007-06-09
I guess I wanted my scientific and nutritional knowledge in a dog recipe book. This book is just too joky, with no real facts to back anything up.
Why should my dogs eat better than I do?.......2007-06-01
Seriously, this book gives quite a bit of nutritional information, but it seems that the recipes are overly done for the person who just wants to give his dogs an alternative to commercial food. I find the thought of cooking a rather complicated recipe each day (or week) to be daunting. Also, though my dogs are usually anything but finicky, they have turned up their noses at several of the offerings.
Barkers Grub book made my dog happy!.......2007-05-28
I was amazed to learn that commercial pet food products are a recent happening in this country which came about in the early 1900's. Prior to that, people fed their dogs what they ate. Due to the latest scare of pet food recall I tried the recommendations found in this book, starting my dog on the road to better nutrition. At first I was skeptical but now I can't say enough about this book. My dog's coat is shiny, her stools are small, she looks great. Best of all she eats EVERYTHING I put in front of her. With commercial dog foods, there was always something left in her bowl. She doesn't have any flatuence which is amazing. I thought she wouldn't eat the vegetables that were recommended, but VOILA!, she eats the vegetables, too. I did have some rough periods where during the transition from commercial pet food to natural food, there were bouts of diarrhea which the book said would happen. But I pressed on and now that the transition period is over, the diarrhea has stopped completely. Yes, the task at first is daunting trying to cook for your pet but anything new that we start out with does take some effort but it is well worth it. I cook for an entire month then store the food in plastic containers in the freezer. I take them out as needed. I wish I knew about this book when I got her as a puppy. I highly recommend this book to anyone who cares about their pets! Good health and long life to our pets!

This is a keeper!.......2003-09-25
This is a beautiful cookbook. I love the "Malted Milk Bar" recipe on page 34!!! There's also a recipe for date nut bread--something that I can't find anywhere anymore.
Excellent Book.......2002-04-11
Lots of great recipes. Well illustrated.
help for college.......2001-03-21
I recieved this book last Christmas and have been using it ever since. I am a senior in high school and am planning a career in the baking and pastry arts field. I have taken my book to school to use as a reference tool. Only to find out that my teacher loves it so much he doesn't want me to take it with me when I graduate. I have actually used this book to come up with many products for our many functions and compitions. I can not wait to take this book with me to college.

101 Needlepoint Stitches and How to Use Them.......2000-05-17
This is a great and easy to use book by the extremely knowledgable needleworker, Hope Hanley. This softcover book provides detailed information for the beginning and advanced needlepointer on a wide variety of stitches. Of special interest is a four page reference section where stitches are listed according to their use as a background, filling, detail, quick to stitch, slow to stitch and best canvas. If you are looking for a great, inexpensive and user friendly guide to needlepoint, this is it! I highly recommend this book to the new needlepointer and the experienced stitcher as well.

Not specific to American Trees.......2002-04-11
This book is fine, for a bonsai book, but does not have very
much information specific to american trees. I was hoping for
more specific info about native american trees that make good
bonsai plus info on how to use them as bonsai, where to find
collect or purchase them and how to care for them.
Great reference.......2001-12-23
I have finally decided to buy myself a bonsai. After years of fruitless hints to my family, I realized that I would have to get it myself, so I sought out a good, easily-understood reference book.
In addition to good information, the photos in this book are lovely and gave me some good ideas of what to look for.
The most helpful chapter to me was the first one, "Bonsai for Beginners". The different bonsai styles are the straight trunk, the slanting trunk, the twin trunk, the triple trunk, the sinuous root, the raft, the twisted trunk,cascading, patterned, and rock-grown. I had no idea that there were so many styles!
As with most plants, sunlight, soil, and water are the most important elements for bonsai. The author suggests watering at night by sprinkling the foliage so as not to wash away the topsoil, which is minimal for these plants. Bonsai are grown in very small pots which hold little soil.
Diseases are briefly mentioned, as well as insecticides to use and how to check the tree for pests and diseases.
The merits of porcelain, china, and earthenware pots are discussed as well as shape, color, and size. I learned that one never plants a bonsai in the middle of a pot but the formula was confusing to me....so I am glad I will be buying one that is already potted!
The chapter on repotting was informative since bonsai outgrow their containers more quickly than other plants. The author tells of the signs to watch for that will indicate that a bonsai needs to be repotted. The process of repotting seems a bit tricky so I would probably elect to return my tree to the nursery where I bought it (to have it repotted).
The chapter on fertilizers - the types to use and how to apply them--was very helpful.
At the end, the author discusses decorating with bonsai and talks about the importance of the stand on which the tree is placed - its size and the height at which the tree should be placed in a room. I had not even thought that far ahead and am glad he mentioned it.
Illustrated Bonsai.......2000-08-23
The author has made this book easy for the beginner and experienced grower alike. Clear instructions with great pictoral directions in sequence. A good reference book on growing bonsai, bonsai styles, pruning, tools and soils.

Book Description
The classic guide to gentle birth that revolutionized the way we welcome our children into the world.
• The first book to express what mothers have always known: babies are born complete human beings with the ability to experience a full range of emotions.
• Shows how gentle lighting, a quiet atmosphere, and a warm bath allow a newborn to ease the transition from womb to world without trauma or fear.
• New translation overseen by the author himself; also includes a new author preface.
Birth without Violence revolutionized the way we perceive the process of birth, urging us to consider birth from the infant's point of view. Why must a child emerge from the quiet darkness of the womb into a blaze of blinding light and loud voices? Why must an infant take its first breath in terror, hanging upside down as its vulnerable spine is jerked straight? Why must the infant be separated from its mother after spending nine months inside her nourishing body?
Examining alternatives to technocentric approaches to childbirth, this classic text shows us how we can create an environment of tranquillity in which to welcome our children: a relaxed mother, gentle lighting, soothing atmosphere, and a warm bath that mirrors the child's prenatal surroundings. Dr. Leboyer's simple techniques show us how a birth without violence has far-reaching implications for improving the quality of human life physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

peaceful.......2007-08-14
This is such a calm and loving book to read. Seriously. I think all pregnant women should be given a copy. Simply lovely!

Extraordinary book- a must to read! From A. de Salverte not by Joy.......2007-06-14
This is the best book I have read on all the 20 or more pregnancy books I have read recently ! It is a masterpiece! This French man brought to the world an amazing, most touching, revolutionary way to honor the sacredness of childbirth. This book has brought to me reverence for the baby's needs, and has hlep me understand the importance to create a sacred space for the baby and the mother.
Thank you Frederick LeBoyer for your incredible contribution to this world!
Good, but get the original..........2005-11-14
There is no doubt that to call this book "revolutionary" is but an understatement, but the new translation doesn't quite capture the full effect of the original. This "revised" edition can be said to be a "re-translation" rather than a "revision."
Pregnant or not, read this book !.......2005-04-16
A single 30 year-old male, I saw a small notice that Dr. LeBoyer was to give a talk about "birthing" to our comunity. Not at all interested in the subject,(geez I didn't even have a girlfriend!) I only went to see this guy because he had presided over 10,000 births! If he had done that many anythings(like knitted sweaters) I would probably also would have gone!
When he entered the room, I was surprised how short he was, and how handsome. I was moved by what he had to say. A year later I read the book and tears were streaming down my cheeks. Such was its profound truth and beauty. Never before or since has reading had this effect on me.
1979 I was the mid-wife for my daughter's birth, and followed the book's advice exactly. At thirty minutes old she was immersed in the water, her clenched fingers relaxed, the vernix disappeared,the wrinkled skin filled out, her whole body relaxed, she looked straight into my eyes and smiled!
Now this same daughter is pregnant with her first child and I am buying a copy of Leboyer's book for her.
I recommend this book to everyone, everywhere.
The Author, Leboyer, Has Delivered More Than 10,000 Babies.......2005-02-28
This book will give parents-to-be techniques for easing the birth trauma and helping the new human being to start life without pain, confusion, and fear. This book is revolutionizing the way we bring our children into the world. The book is affordable and available on the Amazon Marketplace for as low as one cent.

Book Description
Those interested in Czech history between the two World Wars will be fascinated by this memoir by a woman who lived it. Mia M¨¹nzer Le Comte rebelled against her bourgeois background by, in the first place, becoming an artist, leaving home and having amorous adventures, including two husbands. She knows an autobiography that is not honest and open is not worth doing. She accomplishes it with style and poignancy, right up to (and past) Hitler’s takeover of Prague and her personal horrors eluding the Gestapo.
In Italy and France and Spain she was a step away from the police, a fugitive without proper papers. Her husband, Karl, abandoned her in Nice. In Marseilles, to escape the bombs, she had to lie on the concrete floor of a darkened railroad station. The next shelter was a bordello. She exchanged drawings for food. With Spain refusing to give transit visas to Jews, it was a miracle that this courageous and resourceful woman was able to crowd on to one of thelast boats to leave Lisbon, bringing her to New York with three dollars left.
