The Fundamental Wisdom of the Middle Way: Nagarjuna's Mulamadhyamakakarika
14 reviews
Nagarjuna
Oxford University Press, USA
, 1995
Well worth the time ... but may not always seem so
Before you stare at a wall to practice suchness, you may want to spend some time acquainting yourself with this philosophical presentation that justifies your practice. It will be no easy task. Both Nagarjuna's text and Garfield's commentary are challenging: I'm sure that would be true for the Western philosophers Garfield's commentary is targeted to and it certainly was for me as a lay ...

An Understanding of the Progress of Medicine in the U.S.
This book paints a picture on the birth and growth of osteopathic medicine in the United States. It illustrates the successes, disappointments, and the many trials that osteopathic medicine has endured since its inception. Additionally, it gives the reader an insight into the influence of the American Medical Association and M.D.'s in general. I think that this is a must read for future M.D.'s ...

The best directory for the professional and amateur
This book is definately a must for anyone studying or wants to know more about essential oils. I used this book as a bible during my Diploma of Aromatherapy course, and I still find it a valuable tool for this modality, as it covers everything from where the plant originates from, its chemical properities, effects on the mind, body, skin, blending. I highly recommend this book for any ...

A devastating portrait of a mother and daughter
"'night, Mother" is a tour de force conversation between a mother, Thelma, and her daughter, Jessie, who has just told her that she is going to commit suicide at the end of the night. The play is a taut high-wire act that leaves you spellbound as Thelma tries to convince her daughter not to go through with it and Jessie sternly insists. Thelma and Jessie are extremely dimensional, deep characters ...

Wonderful story!!

She has troubles enough because the queendom's sacred stones have been lost-one through the treachery of Mab's youngest daughter Orla-and one through our heroine's failure as guard and protector.

ARTICLES OF FAITH: A Frontline History of the Abortion Wars

, 1998
both fair and fun
As an adult convert to Catholicism struggling for now five years with infertility, a non-American and the daughter of a founder of my hometown's Family Planning Association, I ordered this book wondering if it would help me sort out my mixed feelings about abortion. When it arrived my heart sank: though I had been interested in the topic, it looked long enough to remind me of the ...
The Big Red Book of Spanish Verbs: 555 Fully Conjugated Verbs

It's the best I've seen - here's another reason why
in addition to the advantages that others have pointed out, such as the examples provided, there is another plus which I don't think anyone else has mentioned. The book gives examples not only of the verb in use, but also of nouns and vocab that are related to the verb in question. So for example, for the word 'Anadir' (which means 'to add'), the book gives sample sentences containing the ...
Errand into the Wilderness

Perry Miller
Belknap Press
, 1956
An invaluable collection of essays
Perry Miller's collection of essays ranges from his stomping ground of the Puritans to Virginia and elsewhere in colonial history. Throughout, the most blindingly brilliant American intellectual historian of the twentieth century displays his craft. Unlike his magisterial histories of the New England Mind, these tend to be somewhat easier to follow, as his themes were more compact. If you ...

Joan Aiken
Doubleday
, 1968
This book should be a children's classic!
With this book, Joan Aiken has written another wonderful children's book. I personally think this book should be considered a children's classic - it has all the right stuff. It consists of short stories that center on 2 children, whose mother wished (while she had a wishing stone on her finger) that her children should always have an interesting life - but only one day of the week. These ...
The 2006-2011 World Outlook for Countersink, Drill, and Router Bits for Woodcutting
1 review, 2005
Nice if you can afford it?
I came across this gem while looking for countersink bits. It was such a good deal at 800 bucks that I bought it. It lives on my bookshelf between my " Twenty Year Estimated Badger Hair Fiber Decay Rate Projections for Chronically Damp Shaving Mug Brushes " ( which was a steal at only 450 bucks )and the all time classic " How to Have Fun at Parties With Your Prosthetic Limbs ". Five stars for ...

Active-HDL 6.3 Student Edition

Inc. Aldec
Prentice Hall
, 2005
A solid package for students to get a handle on VHDL and Verilog
This is a software package where everything comes on a single CD. It is NOT a hardcover book. VHDL (Very High Speed Integrated Circuit Hardware Description Language) has been a standard PC based tool since the mid-1990s. Originally designed as a way to document ASIC designs (by the Dept. of Defense), it has evolved into a means for simulating such devices. It is a subset variant of the Ada ...

A classic
This is simply the greatest book ever published on this topic. A genuine page-turner. Just wait until you get to the part about suet.

My daughter a beginning reader read this without difficulty. The book has no slang or words my daughter sometimes has trouble with in the "All Aboard Reading" series. She also really enjoyed looking at the beautiful, somewhat old-fashioned illustrations.

Dry - A Memoir

St. Martin's Press
, 2003
Great Book to take on Vacation!
I took this book to Aruba to pass the time on the beach & it was (like all his others) hilarious. Not nearly as dark as Running with Scissors & funnier than Sellevision. If you have a twisted sense of humor you'll love this sardonic look at his attempts at sobriety & as always, the strange characters he meets along his journey.
Conscious Capitalism: Principles for Prosperity

Butterworth-Heinemann

Conscious Capitalism is a must for the new century.
In 'Conscious Capitalism' David Schwerin goes beyond what we normally consider business ethics. He gives his readers a deep spiritual foundation for values in business, something that we've rarely seen in the twentieth century but that will surely be crucial for the twenty-first century. Author David Schwerin is that rare combination of successful businessman and esoteric scholar. And this ...
