"Martin Lings" and "Abu Bakr Siraj Ad-Din" are the same person, incidentally; Lings embraced Islam and wrote this book in Egypt, where, he indicates, it has been translated into Arabic. My impression can be summed up succinctly. To date, I have not encountered any other original work in a Western language that incorporates and reveals so much directly ...             It's Not About the Hair: And Other Certainties of Life and Cancer14 reviews Debra Jarvis Sasquatch Books, 2008 Healing through humor As an oncology nurse, I appreciated Ms. Jarvis' candid yet humorous rendering of her experiences. Her wit is evident on each page, even in the more telling personal episodes with her patients and during her own battle with cancer. There are no major theological breakthroughs here (those seeking deeper spiritual answers may need to look elsewhere), but that was not the intent of her book. ...             Moral Certainty: A Rosemary Cooper Novel4 reviews M A Lachine iUniverse, Inc., 2007 A winner In Moral Certainty, M. A. Lachine kept me gussing right to the last few pages. The plot was well thought out and interesting. M.A. Lachine has given life to her characters, right form Detective Rosemary Cooper, who can't help compare her short physique to her willowy sister,Viv, to Rita, the gum chewing fifties style waittress, and Ben Angle, the forty-year-old man with the mind of a ten-year ...             On the Edge of Certainty: Philosophical Explorations2 reviews Raymond Tallis Palgrave Macmillan, 1999 Worth the price for the first essay alone... It is unfortunate that Tallis' views seem to be rather obscure compared to the large piles of tripe put out by people such as Dennett, Dawkins, Foucault and the Churchlands. In the series of essays contained in this book Tallis mehodically dismantles many aspects of both modernism and its antithesis, post-modernism. Both have needed to have their fundamental frameworks laid bare but few have ...             The Torch of Certainty4 reviews Jamgon Kongtrul Shambhala, 1977 Indispensible The torch of certainty is an essential text for any serious Buddhist practitioner of the Kagyu lineage. The text, written by Jamgon Kongtrul and translated by Judith Hanson, describes the four ordinary foundation practices and the four special foundation practices.

Henry Lee             The Search for Certainty: A Philosophical Account of Foundations of Mathematics2 reviews Marcus Giaquinto Oxford University Press, USA, 2004 Exceptionally well-written It is not unusual for professional mathematicians to make it through their entire schooling without much in the way of formal instruction in the foundations of math. If, like me, you fall into this category, or if you just enjoy reading well-written books, I recommend Giaquinto's book most strongly. The author has performed an impressive balancing act. He manages to treat details precisely ...             Longing for Certainty: Reflections on the Buddhist Life2 reviews Bhikkhu Nyanasobhano Wisdom Publications, 2003 Wonderful Work on Impermanance Now in this work he presents is with the Buddha's teachings as they are applied to a modern lifestyle. He deals a lot with impermanence in this text, which ties somewhat into the title itself. Because certainty, gives the impression of some unchanging phenomena that exists "out there." Yet the only thing certain is that change is certain, it is truly the one and only constant certainty. That ...             The Illusion of Certainty: Health Benefits and Risks4 reviews Erik Rifkin, Edward Bouwer Springer Verlag, 2007 The Illusion of Certainty This thought-provoking book is both a "should and must-read" book for anyone who makes decisions or considers the advice and recommendations of others.

A plus of this book is that it goes beyond the usual suspects such as Varela, Maturana and Von Foerster and introduces less familiar scholars and practitioners - such as Siegried Schmidt and Helm Stierlin - to English-reading audiences. The intellectual horizon covered by this book is ...             Psychic Certainties1 review H. F. Prevost Battersby Kessinger Publishing, 1942 Psychic Phenomena Explained A no nonsense look at what is behind paranormal behavior and occurrences explained in an easy to understand format. A commendable read.             Moore and Wittgenstein on Certainty1 review Avrum Stroll Oxford University Press, USA, 1994 Finally, someone really delves into Wittgenstein.. Stroll's book is a must-read for anyone remotely interested in the present status of present-day philosophy, particularly with the plethora of authors trying to make a quick dollar on new-age neurophilosophy. Stroll aptly cuts to the core of Wittgenstein's opus "On Certainty" and lays the main thrusts of his arguments open to the general public. Stroll begins by walking the reader through ...             Introduction to Paradigms: Overview, Definitions, Categories, Basics, Optimizing Paradigms & Paradigm Engines2 reviews Trafford Publishing, 2006 Nobel-Level Introduction, Can Be Read at Advanced Level In my view, this is a Nobel Peace Prize level of reflection that demands broad digestion. This is USEFUL. I was immediately impressed by the early portion of the book, at which point I went to the back and reviewed the bibliography, which is an impressive mix of philosophical, scientific, documented conspiracy, and systems thinking. The author takes the trouble to describe his bouncing ...             Quest for Certainty: A Comparative Study of Heidegger and Sankara (Revisioning Philosophy, Vol 1)1 review John A.

David Peat Joseph Henry Press, 2002 Very simple yet also very deep. This is a wide reaching and clearly thought out presentation. The ideas presented here should form a basis for thinking about science as well as about how we see life in general. Clearly, an outstanding book.             In Search of Certainty1 review Josh McDowell, Thomas Williams Green Key Books, 2006 Inspirational classic book to show that Christian beliefs can be based on sound reason too!! I would consider this book, "In Search of Certainty", to be one of the best that Josh McDowell has written.

Fey Patmos Pr, 1976 PROBING & AUTHORITATIVE: A REMARKABLE STUDY As one of Dr. Fey's former students, I was already familiar with the clarity of thought & sound arguments that characterize his presentations, whether written or oral. This work is a brilliant example of his linear-logic style. Fey takes a long, broad view at Newman's positions, and helps the reader understand both their evolution and their appeal. In the end, one need not agree with the ...              search for books benefits, buddhist, categories, certainties, certainty, comparative, constructivism, definitions, dialogues, doctrine, explorations, foundations, heidegger, introducing, introduction, mathematics, optimizing, overview, paradigm, paradigms, philosophical, philosophy, reflections, revisioning, rosemary, strategies, twentieth, uncertainty, unfolding, wittgenstein books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
