All You Can Be : A soldier's reflections on service in the greatest Army the world has ever seen.

Book Description

All You Can Be contains 365 short stories about service in the United States Army of today. The humorous and thoughtful essays about the greatest Army in the world are unoffical, but will be of great interest to anyone associated with the military or contemplating joining up. Though written from the perspective of an Army medic who became a field medical officer, every soldier, veteran, parent, and family member will enjoy the tales and thoughts contained in this nonfiction work. Civilians not even associated with the Army will laugh and learn so much about what their tax dollars buy in today's U.S. Army.

All You Can Be.......2001-04-29

David Kay has captured the essence of military life into short, one page vignettes that will be easily recognized by anyone who served in the Army. It is insighful as well as humorous. David should be proud of his capturing the flavor of his service that was shared by many.

The book every soldier swore he'd write someday.......2001-01-18

Dave's book IS the book that all of us who have been in the Army swore we'd write someday. He captures the little things... good and bad... that make serving one's country the unique experience that it is. I was acquainted with Dave in the service, and with many of the people he discusses. I also shared many like circumstances, experiences and situations. I would highly recommend the book to "old soldiers" and those contemplating military service, as well as those interested in "the inside story".

All You Can Be.......2001-01-03

This book is an anthology of single page vignettes taken from the life of a career soldier who is also a medical professional. The life lessons in these stories are applicable to all, not just those with a military connection. It's a great read! Get a copy for yourself, and another for somebody who could use a lift or some insights into life's journey.

All You Can Be says it all.......2000-12-12

This book is great, each page is a book in itself, humorous, short but to the point. Having been in the military myself I find this book to be the best that it can be. Where as my son having never been in the military will experience what it was like to be in when I pass this on to him which by the way might be the closest he comes to being in the military. Look forward to book 2

Book Description

This second volume completes the story begun in Walter B. Cannon: The Life and Times of a Young Scientist (Harvard University Press, 1987), tracing the middle and late years of one of America's most distinguished medical scientists.

It resumes during World War II with Cannon's battlefield work on traumatic shock in England and France, and follows him to Harvard Medical School as he investigated the workings of the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system, reaffirmed his emergency theory of the sympathico-adrenal system, and developed his now-famous concept of homeostasis and pioneer contributions to the newly emerging field of neuro-endocrinology. This volume also recounts Cannon's work with society on a broader scale, including defending the practice of animal experimentation, the rescue of European medical émigrés fleeing the Nazis and Fascists, and providing medical aid to the Spanish Loyalists and to China. Moreover, as a senior statesman of science, Cannon helped guide policies and programs that shaped the future of medical research, practice, and education.

MSM, or methylsulfonylmethane, is the first safe, natural, side-effect-free remedy for many types of pain and inflammatory conditions. In this authoritative look at MSM, Drs. Stanley Jacob and Ronald Lawrence reveal how to tap into the benefits of this amazing "miracle" compound.

Degenerative arthritis
Chronic back pain
Chronic headache
Muscle pain
Fibromyalgia
Tendintis and bursitis
Carpal tunnel syndrome
TMJ
Post-traumatic pain and inflammation
Allergies
and more

"Here is something natural, a supplement that appears to be safe and is helping many people. Why shouldn't you be one of them?"-- William Regelson, M.D., coauthor of The Melatonin Miracle

I Love MSM.......2005-07-08

MSM is wonderful for me. I have taken MSM for nearly 2 years now (off and on). I would quit taking it, just to see what would happen. It wouldn't take long before my pain and stiffness would return to my knees. I wouldn't want to go through life without MSM. I am able to go through life without pain in my knees when I take MSM on a regular schedule. I have had no problems taking MSM and I take 12,000 mg. a day. I use a powder MSM that I put in my water, which also encourages me to drink the water I need daily. I even use a MSM soap and lotion for my skin. It has helped my skin alot. I can't say enough good things about MSM. This is the first book I bought about MSM and would recommend it to anyone. I've also read many other papers and articles on MSM, plus I've read alot on the internet about MSM. In fact I've bought this book to give to other people. I am always telling the wonders of MSM to people. I wish you well and happy health.

MSM vs.Allergies.......2003-06-13

I've been trying alot of things against my severe allergies since 1982.Tested in 1972 up-down my back.Nurse left for a min.I Turned Super-Red outside Burning up inside.Doc gave me a big shot of adrenaline.

In the 1990's those symtoms started to come back.On 5-11-2003 i went to Rainbow Grocery store.They sell alot of Herb type items there.I told the lady there i needed something really good for my allergies.She took me over to MSM quickly!

She also showed me the little handbook by Dr.Ley "MSM On our way back to Health With Sulfur".I started with 3 grams on 5-11-03 i now average 20 grams of MSM per day.It really helps w/allergies.
I'm 50 years old.When tested allergic to ALL Molds and Pollens.

Mold is hardest to Beat.MSM is helping against it too.

I've ordered 5 of The Miracle of MSM By Dr Jacob and Dr Lawrence.

Thank You amazon.com for the good prices on those Books!!!!!

Best book on MSM by far ..........2001-09-07

This title by Drs. Jacob and Lawrence is by far the best word on MSM (along with product manufacturers dmso2.com etc).

I, also, prefer the hardback version of this book. It is out of print but I found that it is still available at the distributor (msmsupplement.com as mentioned by someone in another review).

I hope that there is a new, updated version of this book on the horizon, because I know that MSM is helping so many people with a variety of problems (e.g. Arthritis, Allergies, Energy, Joint and Muscle & Nerve Pain, Skin Conditions ...). I even give it to my dogs and cats now!

By the way, Dr. Lawrence (on of the authors) is the doctor of the famous actor James Coburn. Mr. Coburn now attributes his recovery from crippling arthritis pain to benefits derived from MSM.

This book has nothing to do with "Bill Rich".......2001-09-07

This book is based upon solid research of a natural substance that is nuturing every living thing. It is found in your own body.

One of the reviews here mentions the name "Bill Rich." Many of the statements about him are true, but he has nothing solid to do with MSM, other than he stumbled upon it and tries to sell it.

This book and Bill Rich should not be mentioned together (forgive me). Mr. Rich does not speak for MSM, anymore than a bad teleevangelist speaks for God.

Get the hardback edition of this book, it will change your life for the better!

Get the hardback! Best book on MSM & Pain Relief there is!.......2001-09-07

This book is the best that you will get on MSM. It is written by the "father of MSM" (IMO), Dr. Stanley Jacob. Co-written by Dr. Ronald Lawrence, doctor of famous actor James Coburn...

Get the hardback edition - it costs less than the not-so-well-bound paperback. You will use this book as a reference for natural dosage, et cetera, so definately get the hardback.

Mouth watering!.......2007-06-02

This book is awesome! Very few ingredients are needed and ALL of them you can find at a grocery store. Mouth watering pictures show you what it is suppose to look like. Has many breakfast and appetizer recipes along with many other dinner and desser recipes. Has nutritional values for each recipe, tells pre times, cook times, and how many it serves. Plus, I like how each recipe has a 'Health Hint' and a little history about the recipe...'Way Back When' and also 'Secret to Success'. I highly recommend this recipe book and I use it constantly! Buy it, you won't be disappointed.

Eat Smart for a Healthy Heart Cookbook.......2002-03-20

I have had this book for many years, but did not actually ever use it until this year, and it is fabulous! The recipes are easy, the ingredients are mutiple use (so you don't buy an ingredient and only use once) and everything tastes fabulous. My husband is very picky about food and he just raves about the items that I have cooked from this book. It really helps to have the combos for meal planning and grocery shopping as well. And the desserts, well, they are outstanding!!

The next time your child asks you to build her a lemonade stand or doll house, don't blink and swallow, turn to FUN PROJECTS FOR YOU AND THE KIDS, instead.

Stiles starts with a straightforward discussion of tools, materials, and a guide to joints, and then launches into simple designs for building just about anything a kid or parent might dream up. Included are ideas for clubhouses and a tepee made of branches and canvas, for toy cannons and Huck Finn-style rafts, for swings and rowboats.

Also included are plans for indoor projects like piñatas, clay castles, toy bins, trains, and even a scooter and space ship.

David Stiles, the king of projects, is like the ultra-handy neighbor every parent needs.

Ready, get set, go.......2007-05-21

We are still picking our projects from here, so haven't built anything yet. However, there is so much to chose and the excitement continues to build. (No pun intended.) Really had my eyes opened to a multitude of fun projects to do with my kids. I recommend this book for those without lots of experience and for those with some background, because of the diversity you will find in here.

Fun Projects for You and the Kids: David Stiles.......2007-01-29

The book is extremely vague. I thought the book would contain plans to construct forts, playhouses, etc. This is not the case. The book has drawings with a few overall dimensions, but lacks specifics. It does not contain plans, materials lists, etc. This is not a "how to" book.

Fun Projects for You and the Kids .......2007-01-26

Great book if you want to pass your love of woodworking to your kids or if you just want to build cool stuff for them. Easy, simple and loads of fun.

What a wonderful book to dream with the kids..........2005-08-11

I bougth this book the first time in the earlies 80's, and I lost that copy.
When surfing in Internet I found it again I rush to buy a copy, because is a wonderful set of ideas (no detailed plans as other reviewer wanted) to do things with your kids and grand-kids.
The drawings are great and the ideas superb. A book that you want to have.

A READER.......2005-07-09

Please don't buy this book unless you are comfortable reading vague plans and are an experienced carpenter. For all the other "Weekenders" like me who appreciate step-by-step instruction with diagrams/pictures, detailed information on techniques for their projects, discussion regarding suitable materials and tips on finishing the project (i.e. painting, etc.) PLEASE choose a book more suited to your skill level. ... I sense impending doom if I attempt to build his cover playhouse which, by the way, seems rather small at only 6'x6'. I think I will join the ranks and order Norm Abrams plans and video as well.

Book Description

Edward Carter Preston was a significant figure in Liverpool’s art scene from the First World War through to his death in 1965. In 1931 he received a commission from Sir Giles Gilbert Scott to prepare a major sculptural scheme for the City’s monumental Anglican Cathedral. Over the next thirty years Carter Preston made fifty sculptures, ten memorials and several reliefs for the Cathedral. Alongside his public achievements he pursued his personal artistic interests, sculpting on a more intimate scale, painting in watercolors, making prints and designing a range of ornamental and utilitarian objects. This exhibition catalogue has a foreword by Ann Compton and includes four essays.
