Seminal Classic. Perfect for the beginner but also the "experienced" practicioner
So flipping through the channels on the television you come across Zen air freshener. A friend says that they just had a Zen experience at a rock concert. In the grocery store you see Zen Hamburgers. This zen thing is everywhere. Do you really understand it? Do I? If you are just checking Buddhism out for the first time, this book is a perfect jumping off point to the sometimes confusing sect ...

A Grateful Heart
My son received this book as a baptism gift and as an infant I began reading him the short stories. The length was perfect and the pictures captured his eyes. As he got older, he LOVED pouring through this Bible. Night after night I would catch him in his room--as a 3 year old--"reading" his Bible. He would look at page after page with great intent. Then, the next night point out pages he ...

Meditation for Beginners
I bought the two-disk cd version of this insightful lecture and meditation. Jack Kornfield is a clinical Buddhist psychologist who presents the teachings of the four noble truths combined with meditations to awaken the heart. In the second cd, Kornfield explains that the teachings of the dharma are meant to be practiced as a path of virtue or an awakening of the heart. As he presents the first ...

Absolute Beginner's Guide to Computer Basics
I remember how intimidating it was when I got my first computer. At the time, my husband regularly used a computer at work and thought that I should learn. Of course, I didn't even know how to turn on the thing let alone make it do something worthwhile. Looking back, I wish I would have had a resource like Absolute Beginner's Guide to Computer Basics. The book starts right from the start. ...

wonderful for the beginner
I bought this book as a gift for a family member. But once I started reading some of it on line I knew I had to have a copy for my self. The title state's that it is for beginners, but I find it a great source for quick reference. I would highly recommend it to all who are trying to keep in balance or teachers, not just for beginners.

Easy to read and understand; needs a second edition
No one expects statistics to be easy reading, especially when it concerns complicated models such as structural equation modeling (SEM). Nevertheless, this book manages to do just that. Schumacker and Lomax have successfully put together a guide that explains to beginners (like myself) in simple terms how the whole thing works. As with most books that treat complex models, some basic knowledge ...

This is by far the best wiccan book ever.
I love this book so much... I have been studying wicca for about nine years now and this is the first book where I actually felt like the author wasn't trying to push their own wiccan beliefs on to the reader. After reading the first chapter, I knew that this book was going to teach me so much and I was not mistaken. I have read almost all of the famous authors: Buckland, Silverwolf, ...

Beginner's Greek: A Novel

What a find!
I don't read much modern fiction. I find most of it to be self-indulgent overly wordy nonsense, or else it is poorly edited and just plain stupid. This book, Beginner's Greek, captivated me from the start. Collins is a wordsmith I can relate to--a writer whose style is beautiful enough that I am happy to read whatever he is saying. He seems to follow obligatory patterns for novels, by going ...

AN EXCELLENT WAY TO START THE ADVENTURE
Common Sense - The Way Back Since I discovered Ayn Rand in the early 1960's and have read all of her books, most several times, a can hardly be classed as a "Ayn Rand" beginner". This book was purchased with the idea of giving it to my grand children and great grand children for Christmas. Even though Ayn Rand's books have been my passion for many years, I enjoyed reading this book. For ...
