He loves to turn the pages and look at the beautiful illustrations. We have all 4 books in the series and they are all his favorite books!             Austerlitz (Modern Library Paperbacks)73 reviews Winfried Georg Sebald, Anthea Bell Modern Library, 2002 First hiding from, then searching for time lost 'And I remember, Vera told me, said Austerlitz, that it was Aunt Otylie who taught you...'. This quote encapsulates the narrative technique of the book nicely. Austerlitz tells his story to the unnamed narrator, who is a German living in England, like Sebald. I bought this pocket book by mistake in a 3 for 2 sale, only knowing that it had been selected as book of the year in England some time ...             Truth And Method (Continuum Impacts)9 reviews Hans-Georg Gadamer, Joel Weinsheimer, ... Continuum International Publishing Group, 2005 Klassisch! First, Truth and Method is a true classic. Basically, it sees Gadamer revitalise 'nonscientific' truth, i.e. the experience of truth inaccessible to method and irreducible to bare statement. The book itself does have a structure/setting that makes it difficult to get into initially (it is usefully read in tandem with a good commentary eg. Joel Weinsheimer's 'Gadamer's Hermeneutics'), but it is ...             Act on Life Not on Anger: The New Acceptance & Commitment Therapy Guide to Problem Anger5 reviews Georg H. Eifert, Matthew McKay, ... New Harbinger Publications, 2006 Transformational This highly readable book is so much more than simply a resource for transforming the reader's relationship with problem anger. It contains a wealth of insight into what life is like for the vast majority of human beings, whose daily struggle with painful thoughts and feelings obscures the truth about their deepest sense of self. The good news is that people's most fundamental sense of self can ...             Yoga for Dummies25 reviews Georg Feuerstein, Larry Payne For Dummies, 1999 Very very good for starting and for learning how to build a safe practice The authors tried to be neutral besides theirs styles of Yoga. They describe how to initiate in this and what to expert in teacher and a school of Yoga. Teaches how to build a practice yourself. How to do the asanas, some pranayama and meditation. They teach a soft Yoga that is perfect for first time yoguis, but if you are advanced you may apply the principles they teach to your practice, if you ...             Historiography in the Twentieth Century: From Scientific Objectivity to the Postmodern Challenge5 reviews Georg G. Iggers Wesleyan, 2005 An excellent and well-written overview. One of the great revelations I had in college many, many years ago occurred in the stacks of the library. I was doing some research on Wilhelm Dilthey and found myself looking at several thousands of books devoted to the history of philosophy. At that moment I began to have some idea on how difficult it is to acquire a magisterial overview of any field of inquiry. It takes a lifetime of study and ...             The Mindfulness and Acceptance Workbook for Anxiety: A Guide to Breaking Free from Anxiety, Phobias, and ...11 reviews John P. Forsyth, Georg H. Eifert New Harbinger Publications, 2008 It works for me I am very excited about this book. I am a therapist and work with a lot of clients who deal with anxiety that causes them differing problems in life. The workbook is easy to follow and explains everything step by step. There are heaps of easy to follow exercises and it is written in a user friendly caring manner. I love that it is based on the latest research. I can use the excercises ...             Joseph and Chico: The Life of Pope Benedict XVI as Told By a Cat12 reviews Jeanne Perego Ignatius Press, 2008 Excellent story I bought a copy for my own family as well as one for each of my godchildren, and I am extremely pleased with it. I did not know much about Joseph Ratzinger/ Pope Benedict XVI prior to reading this story, and now am much more familiar with who he is and where he came from. The story is extremely accessible, interesting, and even has a touch of humor (the story of his life is being told by a cat, ...             The Yoga Tradition: Its History, Literature, Philosophy and Practice20 reviews Georg Feuerstein Hohm Press, 2001 Incredible book and incredible value. Fills in a lot of missing pieces for people. When this book came in the mail and I started looking through it I was absolutely thrilled. It provides a great overview of the yoga tradition by a scholar-practioner with over 30 years experience studying and practicing. I have similar books that cost much more than this and they are good, but not necessarily as readable as this volume. In brief, this book covers the scope of yoga and lays ...             Georg Simmel on Individuality and Social Forms (Heritage of Sociology Series)3 reviews Georg Simmel University Of Chicago Press, 1972 Impressionist Sociology! Georg Simmel's social thought having being neglected for several decades, experiences a revival since the early nineties. A reason for this may be traced in his "gifted" - almost literary - style and in his breadth and vision regarding the state of modern urban culture. The collection of Simmel essays assembled in this volume by Donald Levine, covers a wide variety of the topics with which ...             Close Your Eyes (New York Times Best Illustrated Books (Awards))17 reviews Kate Banks Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR), 2002 Beautiful illustrations This book has beautiful illustrations. My son is 7 months old and he reaches out to grab at the pages. The illustrations are so colorful and bright. It has a cute story as well.             Hegel: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions)10 reviews Peter Singer Oxford University Press, USA, 2001 Excellent Probably not very many people will plunge into Hegel on their own, and most of those will quickly plunge back out. As Bryan Magee said, "His writing is almost uniquely obscure -- it positively repels the reader...One can read page after page of Hegel, racking one's brains and thinking: 'What the HELL does he mean?'" Hegel may just be one of those writers best approached through the secondary ...             Hegel: Elements of the Philosophy of Right (Cambridge Texts in the History of Political Thought)3 reviews Georg Wilhelm Fredrich Hegel Cambridge University Press, 1991 A Serious Book for Serious People As a mystery novelist with my first novel in its initial release, I have found that reading a variety of works helps me in my writing. I first came in contact with the works of Hegel as an undergraduate at Claremont McKenna College. Hegel's thoughts have provided foundations for political movements ranging from the far right to the far left, and this work, an excellent translation, provides ...             Tantra: Path of Ecstasy9 reviews Georg Feuerstein Shambhala, 1998 A 'primer' coat of many colors Feuerstein has done the English-speaking world a genuine service with this introduction to Tantra, suited especially to the casual intelligent reader. This is not suited to those interested in an anthropological, historical, or how-to approach (see reviews below for more details); instead, Feuerstein covers the basic topics in a rather plain-vanilla fashion. Feuerstein's first positive task is ...             Daddy Cuddles5 reviews Anne Gutman, Georg Hallensleben Chronicle Books, 2005 Adorable little baby book Something so simple, yet so cute! I can't wait for the baby to be born and listen to my husband read this to him!!It's all about Daddy animals and their babies, and I'd recommend it to all Daddys!!             Acceptance & Commitment Therapy for Anxiety Disorders: A Practitioner's Treatment Guide to Using Mindfulness, ...14 reviews Georg H. Eifert, John P. Forsyth New Harbinger Publications, 2005 Challenging new approach, worth reading Startling new way to treat anxiety disorders from a humanistic view aimed at creating a meaningful life despite high anxiety. The book is written very clearly and contains techniques such as metaphors and stories that are excellent and can be used with more traditional therapy. To use ACT alone in therapy to treat anxiety disorders by just reading the clear instructions of the book and ...             Shambhala Guide to Yoga6 reviews Georg Feuerstein Shambhala, 1996 Like the others said, great introduction to Yoga! When looking for books on Yoga, I had no idea where to start and I didn't want to read some...American trying to cash in book. I saw this book and it seemed real. Wow, I'm glad this is the first book I read on Yoga. Georg Feurstein fully knows and understands the essence of Yoga. The book touches on everything from the history of Yoga to a Yogi's diet. I like how Feurstein always refers back to ...             Introduction to the Philosophy of History3 reviews Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel Hackett Publishing Company, 1988 A great philosopher on importance of history! I read this book for a graduate class in history. Hegel's philosophy of history is perhaps the most fully developed philosophical theory of history that attempts to discover meaning or direction in history. Hegel incorporates a deeper historicism into his philosophical theories than his predecessors or successors. According to Hegel, the events whose story is told by political and legal history ...             Color Atlas of Acupuncture: Body Points, Ear Points, Trigger Points (Complementary Medicine (Thieme))5 reviews Hans-Ulrich, M.D. Hecker, Angelika Steveling, ... Georg Thieme Verlag, 2008 A quality book I was a bit dubious about buying this book as I have a lot of books on acupuncture already and no one had reviewed it. The reason I was considering it was mainly because of the ear acupuncture, which is often not covered in much detail in mainstream acupuncture books. Anyway, about a year after looking at it (since it was always popping up when I was browsing), I took the plunge - and it was ...              search for books acceptance, acupuncture, austerlitz, cambridge, challenge, commitment, complementary, continuum, disorders, historiography, illustrated, individuality, introduction, introductions, literature, mindfulness, objectivity, paperbacks, philosophy, political, postmodern, practitioner, scientific, shambhala, sociology, strategies, tradition, treatment, twentieth, values-based books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
