Book Description
Thomas Young, a great scientist and scholar was called " the Leonardo Da Vinci of England in his time yet few know of his amazing talents today. A doctor, engineer, inventor , prodigy, gymnast, physicist? He was all of these and more. Born in 1773 his ideas and discoveries are the basis of many important scientific fields today. He is now given proper credit for being the first to decipher a hieroglyph on the famous Rosetta stone. He conceived the ideas for actuarial tables, and for stabilizing the ships of the British navy. He discovered interferometry using the double slit experiment and figured out the cause for astigmatism. A mild and happy man, he is an ideal role model for the possible good life of a scientist.
Dr. Daniel Kline has rediscovered his work and described his life in this very readable biography for high schoolers and adults.

Very informative.......2003-01-06
Easy program to understand and to follow. Thank you to the ladies who recommended this book on the Prevention site.
Not bad! Great for nutrition beginners!.......2000-05-14
I was expecting more from this book. It was well-written but I would've like to have seen more of an outline or "jump-start" program. Maybe that's just my style, though.
There were wonderful recipes and good charts. Plus, there were simple workouts.
step by step help at last.......2000-05-12
I found this to be a wonderful book. It showed me how to get started back in an exercise routine after many years of gaining weight. It let me target the areas where I needed help and showed me what to do week after week in my new routine. It's great!

Insightful look into Indonesian food and culture. .......2007-09-02
The recipes in the book appear to be authentic. The beef rendang recipe is delicious. I am looking forward to testing the other recipes in the near future for my partner from Indonesia. The most challenging part is finding what I need in the local asian market. For harder to find ingrediants the author gives substitutions.

Book Description
Carving realistic facial features poses a challenge to even the most experienced carver. Through step-by-step photographs, this guide shows woodworkers how to correctly position the eyes on a carving, how to create the proper shapes, and how to correct common design mistakes. Carvers will be able to more accurately carve lashes, brows, and pupils. Also discussed is information on anatomy to help carvers better understand how the muscles of the face dictate expression. Details on carving tools, carving wood, and reference material are included as well.

CARVING EYES.......2007-06-12
A LITTLE HARD TO SEE AND UNDERSTAND AT FIRST. ONCE I GOT WHAT THE PHOTOS WERE SHOWING IT STARTED MAKING SENCE. IT EXPLAINED WHAT I WAS DOING WRONG AND HELPED ME VERY MUCH. THE PHOTOS SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN CROPPED SO CLOSE TO WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO BE SHOWING. a VIEW FUTHER BACK WOULD HAVE HELPED.

Bad photography.......2006-07-01
The pictures are just terrible, hard to tell where he carved because of the glare on the wood. You have to try to follow the instructions by reading the captions under each picture.

A visual feast & Inspiring.......2004-02-21
A great coffee table book. The photographs, and quotes are truly inspirational. Once you pick it up to read or to look at the pictures, it is very hard to put it down.
A must to own and especially to give as a gift, for anyone who loves looking at the beauty of the natural world.
This is the garden version of "Acres of Diamonds", beauty can be found in your own garden.
Gene Sasse and Marlin Hayes help us understand in a very powerful visual feast, that beauty is all around us, and can be found even in our own backyard.
I Love This Book!.......2002-01-18
I got it for a friend who loves gardening and she absolutely loved it. It is the perfect gift to give someone who has everything. The book inspired her so much that she started planting flowers the very next day after receiving the book.
Garden Thoughts.......2001-12-22
This book is an excellent gift for anyone who enjoys gardening, and poetry. As you page through it your mind will wander off and bring back fond memories of a special garden you have visited. It will remind you of that special relative or friend and walking through their treasured garden exploring the intricate flowers and plants.
"Garden Thoughts" a pleasure...........2000-10-04
Worth the price for the photography alone, "Garden Thoughts" also includes a great selection of quotes and excerpts that make it perfect for a relaxing sunday read. Beautiful garden photograpy, wonderful layout.

Unlike programs that focus on muscles, Rossiter's system, which has helped thousands of workers in companies large and small, stretches the body's connective tissue, is easy to learn, and requires only a partner, a soft mat, and a chair.
Customer Reviews:
It was difficult to do and did not help me.......2006-07-08
I am sorry, some people say this book helped them but I found the exercises to be very tedious and ineffective. It was actually a pretty upsetting experience, because it was all so uncomfortable to do, and I really needed to find a solution to my Repetitive Strain Injuries but could not.
Finally I discovered The Triggerpoint Therapy Workbook by Clair Davies (which saved my life) and It's Not Carpal Tunnel Syndrome by Suparna Damaney & Jack Bellis (which is essential for anyone who has a computer-related Repetitive Strain Injury). The MindBody Prescription by John Sarno also gave me a different perspective, though it didn't help me personally as much as the others a lot of people swear by it. If you happen to live in Los Angeles they are all available from the library, I don't know about other cities.
Oh, and Sharon Butler's book, Conquering Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is also good for teaching gentle stretches. In the end, it was this collection of books that told me all I needed to know and now I have completely recovered. But unfortunately the Rossiter Way did not help me at all. I'm giving it 2 stars just in case it has some merit I missed.
Great Book! These exercises helped me immensely!.......2005-04-23
As a musician, I play the piano about 30 hours per week. This became difficult with the onset of tendonitis and carpal tunnel symptoms. I did these exercises daily for about 6 mos. with a personal trainer and physical therapist. I now live symptom free! Thank goodness I said no to the cortisone injections! I highly recommend it to anyone with similiar problems. You can be healed with this system of exercises.
Delivers on all counts.......2002-03-12
I had a chronic clenched muscle on the left side of my mid back for about 7 years. Some days it would be no problem, some days the pain was almost totally debilitating--I couldn't sit still for more than 5 minutes, which was a huge problem since I spent most of my time on the computer or at a drawing table. I tried chiropractic, massage, rolfing, yoga. Nothing gave me long-term relief. Then I found this book through my rolfer. I was skeptical about the back exercises, because you work on the thighs, not the back at all. Well, after doing the back exercises twice, the pain was gone. Entirely. Doing them once every three months now is enough to keep me pain free.
The exercises on the arms are fantastic for relieving carpal stress. Both my girlfriend and I have had periods of intense computer activity where we can feel the tightness building dangerously. But running through the forearm, bicep and shoulder stretches offers *instantaneous* and sustained relief.
It seems too simple. But it works.
Overcoming Repetitive Motion Injuries the Rossiter Way.......2000-12-01
Half of this book explains Repetitive Motion Injuries (RMI), and the other half describes exercises to overcome RMI. I never read the half that explains RMI. I just read the half that describes the exercises. I had Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and was wearing a cast 24 hours a day. My doctor was ready to start injections and then maybe surgery. The exercises in this book completely cured my problem with no medical treatment needed. I then gave the book to my doctor.
Awesome book - It really works!.......1999-09-19
As an office worker I suffer from the kind of back pain that comes from sitting in the same basic position for 8 hours a day - every day. I've got a great chair. I sit ergonomically correct. I just think God didn't design the human body to sit in front of a computer all day long!
The stretches presented in this book have been extremely effective at eliminating this pain.
I highly recommend this book to anyone that works at a computer and suffers from this type of repetitive stress pain.

Everett D. Reamer

ProductGroup: Book
Binding: Paperback
General

| Subjects
| Books
ASIN: 0972439722 |
Book Description
Enlisting at the age of 16, Everett D. Reamer was a boy who became a soldier who became a prisoner of war at the hands of the Japanese during World War II.
As a member of an anti-aircraft gun crew, he fought and was wounded in the battles to defend Corregidor, "The Rock" -- the "Alamo of the Pacific".
Spending three and a half years as a POW before his liberation, Everett would survive marches, disease, and imprisonment on Bataan; the unspeakable conditions aboard the Hell Ships; brutality in the form of starvation, beatings, and 28 days of continuous torture; being forced to stand at attention without food, water, or relief for 132 hours; and, solitary confinement for more than 11 months.
Sustained only by the flag, which represents all our country embraces, as well as his belief in God, Everett D. Reamer's story is one of personal courage. It is a story of unimaginable endurance. It is a story of patriotism. Indeed, it is a story of...Unconquerable Faith.
Product Description
This book describes some of the largest and most significant commemorative celebrations of the Wright brothers' first powered flight at Kitty Hawk on 17 December 1903, from the twenty-fifth anniversary in 1928 to the seventy-fifth in 1978. The text is illustrated with fourteen photographs taken at the major anniversary celebrations held in North Carolina during those years.

Inspiring, but not a mountaineering guide.......2000-05-22
The loss of Todd Huston's leg was as horrible an experience as anyone could imagine, and his response to it is admirable. Viewed from that angle, this is a fine book. It suffers, however, from some jumbling and some factual errors (probably on the part of Huston's ghost writer). Most notably, he climbed McKinley as his first high point, not his 45th. Late in the book this can be discerned, but it makes things confused elsewhere. Some other goofs: notable climber Lou Whittaker becomes "Lee" in this book, and the huge crevasse often found at the top of an alpine glacier, a bergschrund, this book comically calls a "bergstrom." This is a fine inspirational book, but very weak if you're looking for information on mountain climbing. If there is to be a second printing I recommend that Todd get a fact checker to go over it.
