        Book Description

        Nobel Prize-winning physicist Wolfgang Pauli, whose work contributed to developing the bombs that decimated Hiroshima and Nagasaki, suffered from disturbing dreams that led him to psychologist C.G. Jung. This groundbreaking study traces Pauli's thoughts and dreams over the course of his life.

        5 out of 5 stars A fascinating portrait of stellar minds.......2006-04-10

        Wolfgang Pauli and Carl Jung were among a handful of geniuses who transformed the physical and psychological landscapes of the 20th century. Their thoughts about the nature of mind and matter, and the dark side of Western science's "will to power," are especially meaningful today given the material and psychosocial challenges of the 21st century.

        I found especially interesting Pauli and Jung's interests in parapsychology and the mind-matter interface. When intellectual giants seriously entertain controversial topics that confuse lesser minds, I pay close attention.

        Lindorff's recitals of Pauli's dreams, and Pauli and Jung's symbolic analysis of them, will probably not appeal to readers expecting ordinary biographies. But for those of us who are interested in rational, intuitive, and symbolic ways of knowing, this is a magnificent book.

        4 out of 5 stars Response to Dr Russell Rohrde's review........2006-03-11

        This is a response by the author to a review of Dr. Rohrde, who apparently formed a judgement of my book without attempting to digest its contents. Pauli was a serious thinker who happened to believe in the collective unconscious. With Jung's help, he sought to understand his dreams, which he saw as opening his mind to the relationship between psyche and matter. Pauli saw this as having far reaching importance to him personally as well as to the future of scientific exploration.

        2 out of 5 stars "No Great Expectations, just Great Disappointments".......2006-03-07

        "Pauli & Jung: The Meetings of Two Great Minds," David Lindorff, IL, Quest Books, 2004 ISBN: 0-8356-0837-9, HC 299/244 pgs., Notes 28 pgs., Apps. 8 pgs., Index 17 pgs., 9 1/4" x 6 1/4"

        This Ph.D. author worked & taught eletrical enginnering, later a Jungian analyser for 24 years in New England. No previous books.

        Chapter I stands alone to provide a meaningful chronology of the life & times of Wolfgang Friedrich Pauli (1900-1958), a child prodigy born in Vienna of Jewish parents but raised as Catholic. He studied at Univ. Munich, did physics research at Hamburg & later at Zurich's ETH. He soon became acquainted with renowned physicists as Bohr, Rabi, Born, Planck, Heisenberg, Fierz, Oppenheimer (visiting) & Einstein. At ETH he sought help in 1932 from C.G. Jung, psychologist, for despondency. When the Nazi anti-Semitism intensified, he left Europe for a position at Princeton's Institute for Advanced Studies in 1940, Einstein already arrived in 1933. Pauli received the 1945 Noble Prize in physics for discovery of the "exclusion principle."

        MAJOR FLAW to my mind: - more than half of the treatise, nay 75%, deals with Pauli's recital of dreams spanning sme 25 years (periodically from 1932 - 1957) for Jung to analyze. So now we have embarked on a phantasmal supernatural & primordial journey into the imaginary discarnate world of apparition, archetypal imagery bearing a host of titular Greek names as 'manadala', "acausal connecting principle" of 'synchronicity' embracing ESP, anima/animus, where basic treatment involves introducing the Ego to the "collective unconsciousness." etc. For mythologists this could be a precious piece of prose, but frankly I'd expect readership to be severely wanting. The book is not about God nor about religion, but much closer to an ideology embracing magic, mystery, palmistry, phrenology, & peeking at Peking tea leaves. Speaking of leaves, I'd leave this one alone.

        5 out of 5 stars Simple to understand and do.......2007-04-21

        Practice what the book says on a regular basis and you will get to be less stressful. It has helped me and I like the realistic approach of the book.

        4 out of 5 stars Basic strategies to reduce stress.......2007-03-31

        This is an easy-to-read book that offers research-based stress-reduction strategies. All of the strategies are very basic, and you've probably heard them all before (no big eye-openers). However, research has proven that these strategies work, and the challenge lies with us to use and integrate them into our lives. Each chapter discusses strategies such deep breathing, stop doing what doesn't work, saying no, etc.

        4 out of 5 stars 10 great ways to reduce stress.......2006-07-25

        Here are the ten ways to manage your stress in this book:

        1). Calm down by concentrating on your breath.
        2). Appreciate what you have in your life.
        3). Tense and then relax different parts of your body.
        4). Visualize success.
        5). Slow down
        6). Appreciate yourself
        7). Practice smiling
        8). Stop doing what does not work
        9). Say no to people that try to over burden you.
        10). Accept what you can not change
        and live mentally in the present do not stress yourself out with the past or future.

        Buy this book for more in depth discussion of the above if you find this to be common sense, move on to another book.

        I liked this book so much, I read a chapter a week to my mom, dad, and sister after our Sunday night dinner together. I've posted the principles and read them when I brush my teeth in the morning. Once you've read the chapters, the titles alone can help you remember the techniques you practices. I continue to recommend the book to friends. I've had stressful moments at work and have used the skills to bring me back to center.

        5 out of 5 stars This book turns stress-management techniques into life-mastery skills.......2006-04-26

        As a former occupational therapist I know that reduction of stress and the speed of physical recovery is closely linked. Yet, the authors in this book prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt. For years now I have been working with stressed and overwhelmed entrepreneurs helping them to grow their businesses while creating balance in their lives. This book, in combination with my own professional knowledge, allowed me to put together an instant-stress-busting audio course. Both authors speak with kindness and authority to a subject that not only affects the stressed and overwhelmed person but also everybody around them: employees, children, friends. I thank the authors for their courage to take stress-management to a level of life-mastery.

          If you want to lose weight but must appease your sweet tooth from time to time, Richard Simmons is on your team. Sweetie Pie is a collection of delectable, reduced-fat and reduced-calorie desserts. Most get 30 percent or fewer calories from fat. But Simmons is quick to point out that you can't scarf down half a cake and expect to lose weight. The key, he says, is handling dessert "with respect," which means eating it on special occasions and having only a serving. You'll find adaptations of all your favorite desserts, such as brownies, lemon bars, biscotti, chocolate layer cake (19 percent fat), Boston cream pie, chocolate mousse pie, and even lollipops. You'll also find desserts only Richard Simmons might create, like "Brownie Pizza." Watch out--the last chapter presents six of Simmons's "all-time favorite outrageous desserts," fat and all. Simmons's running commentary of his personal relationship with these desserts is entertaining enough to read whether or not you want to prepare the recipe. Recipes include nutritional breakdown (calories, protein, fat, carbohydrate, sodium, and cholesterol), plus fat and calorie comparisons with standard versions. The photos will make your mouth water. --Joan Price

          Richard Simmons' "Sweetie Pie" is a delight for the eyes and the tastebuds. It's filled with mouth-watering, well done photographs of luscious desserts which might even earn it a spot as a coffee table book. As noted by another reviewer, people with diabetes can indulge in some of the recipes.

          All of us like a satisfying sweet end to a meal, and this collection of low-fat recipes will fill the bill without padding your waistline. Recommended both for calorie-counters and for those lucky few who don't worry about weight.

          4 out of 5 stars Great recipes but lacks food mover info........1999-11-04

          This book has some really good ideas for deserts. My husband has diabetes and the recipes fit right in with his diet requirements. One downfall, there is no information pertaining to the food-mover program Richard has. There is portion size, and calorie content broken down by protein, fat, carbs., but if you want an easy way to use your food mover don't expect to find it here.

          5 out of 5 stars This is one of the Best low-fat cookbooks I've seen!!.......1999-06-10

          I love this cookbook!!! It is fun to read & the recipes are great! The color photos are not only pretty to look at but you can see what the recipe looks like before you make it.(you could take a bite out of the page it looks so good!) This is my favorite dessert cookbook!! Beautiful!!!

              I have read a previous review from an experienced landscape designer stating that this book was better for a novice, which is exactly what I am. I don't know much about landscaping and design but I am an avid weekend gardener, and I found this book helpful.

              The book is broken up into the following sections: basic propagation advice, ground covers, shrubs, vines, trees and ferns.

              In each section, there are detailed information about specific plants. For instance, under the Trees section, there is information about the Ohi'a Lehua plant. This book really helped me learn how to care for a lehua tree. I went on-line and tried to find more details on exactly how to care for the lehua but didn't find anything satisfactory. The book is very detailed and had wonderful pictures. It tells you what family the lehua is from, the scientific name, where it comes from, how to propagate with various methods (whether by seed or air-layering), how to water, fertilize, transplant, potting, landscape use, pests and other uses, such as using the blossom in leis, flower arrangements, and Hawaiian legends and proverbs involving the lehua.

              I don't see any other Hawaiian Plant book that is more comprehensive than this one on the market, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

              3 out of 5 stars Good book.......2003-01-17

              A little background about myself to preface my comments. I am a landscape architect with over twenty years experience, with degrees in horticulture and landscape archtitecture. On cursory review, it is a very basic book of "how to" with some plant history, potential uses and growing recommendations. The book discusses forty plants; 9 ground cover plants, 12 shrubs, 3 vines, 12 trees, and 7 ferns.The basic stuff are common, general information. For the landscape professional, it is weak. For the novice, it would be helpful starting point, particularly if you are designing with local plants. The book does not go into much detail about anything. Hindsight, I would pay the extra money and buy the book with more information, plants, history and plant "meaning".

                  5 out of 5 stars Growing Hawaii's Native Plants.......2007-08-03

                  Great book. It gives the common name, the latin name and the Hawaiian name of plants we find here in Hawai'i. 416 pages chock full of easy to read and apply methods of growing Hawaiian plants. Lavishly illustrated, generous size of 9 by 11 inches, this is a must have for growers, artists and students of Hawaiian plants. This is the best $45 I have spent on books in a long time. Thanks to the author and publisher.

                    Book Description

                    A Native Hawaiian Garden has much to offer professional horticulturists, landscapers, and botanists, and gives reason to hope that more spaces around housing developments, shopping malls,and other commercial buildings will soon include native Hawaiian plants. But the book will prove especially valuable to those gardeners who wish to grow and nuttier something truly Hawaiian in their own backyards. Among the many rewards of growing natives, the authors make clear, is the opportunity to contribute your own experiences and findings to a vital preservation effort.

                    This was an excellent book. It really showed people how to germinate, grow, and care for the native plants of Hawaii. After two centuries of gardens being full of exotics that escape and take over the native forests, it's time to start bringing the natives back into the cities. This book really shows how to do this in a quick and easy way.

                        4 out of 5 stars The flora and fauna of Hawaii.......2001-05-09

                        The book is slim and light and is therefore ideal to take with you on holiday to use whilst walking or hiking. The information is concise and helpful in identifying facts about the different Hawaiian species of birds and plants and also in identifying the species that have been imported to the islands. There are large colour photographs for each species shown, although the quality of the photographs is a bit disappointing as they are often slightly out of focus and at times over-exposed. However, this is a handy book to have with you on site or even after your holiday in Hawaii, if you want to identiyy any plant or animals you may have photographed.

                        Watsamatta U guides the reader through the author's own neurotic and chaotic experience with the college admission process. Like so many Baby-Boomers, Kasdin falls into the trap of allowing college reputation to supersede the long-term benefits of finding the "right" school for her son Dan. With a healthy dose of humor, Kasdin unveils invaluable tips for avoiding this competitive neurosis and finding the best match between college and child.

                        5 out of 5 stars Keeping Parents Sane Whether They Want to Be or Not.......2002-07-03

                        This is the book I've been waiting for. For years I've been watching my friends -- people who are otherwise loving and sane -- pressure and torment their kids in the name of getting into the "right" college. I've been waiting for a parent who is guilty of temporarily succumbing to this toxic cultural madness, to come out the other side and share with us her enlightenment. This is what Karin Kasdin does in Watsamatta U. I don't think I've ever seen such an honest and important book that is simultaneously side-splitting: Kasdin thoroughly dissects the entire circus via her oldest child's college application process, exposing the idiocies of new-parent fantasies, high school "college nights", the SAT industry, and that hallucinatory culmination, "the college tour".

                        I was going to say, "Buy this book for every single parent you know who has a high school student." Instead, I recommend we all go out and buy it as a baby gift as well, for the newest crop of new parents who are sure that repeated reading of "Pat the Bunny" in 6 languages is the first mile on the way to Brown.

                        This is the book I've been waiting for. For years I've been watching my friends -- people who are otherwise loving and sane -- pressure and torment their kids in the name of getting into the "right" college. I've been waiting for a parent who is guilty of temporarily succumbing to this toxic cultural madness, to come out the other side and share with us her enlightenment.
