an optimistic vision of the future
I am about halfway through this now and I find the book very engaging and not difficult to read. I do agree that the current edition is dated. Kyoto costs too much? 80% reduction in carbon emissions by 2050 is a pipe dream? This book will go a long way to persuading you that we will meet that target and more before 2050 and *make* money. The compelling question is - why aren't we further ...

Biology -- A Guide to the Natural World
I found this book to much easier to read and understand from all the previous textbooks assigned to biology courses. The graphics and tables and examples are completely explained. The format asks questions and answers them in a simple, easily understandable text -- not like the mumbo jumbo that a person would have to read over and over to finally understand its meaning.

Nicolaides captured essential steps in the way of learning to Draw.
Although I have been life drawing for more than 30 years, I feel that the Gesture exercises of Nicolaides book have brought more expontainety and vitality to my work.
Natural Speaker, The (6th Edition) (MySpeechKit Series)

A "textbook" that is not a traditional textbook.
This book is my most favorite "textbook" since I returned to school to get my AA. This book is not like the traditional textbook-it doesn't put you to sleep after the first 3 pages. Each chapter starts off with a short story that applies to the concepts taught in the chapter. Very amusing stories. After the concept is introduced, the information is broken down into subtopics that are reasonably ...

A great book for beginners interested in this topic!!!
I just finished taking a course at Florida International University having to do with natural disasters and this book was the required text. I found the book very interesting and informative. The different forms of natural disasters were seperated by chapters and were very well explained. I found it very easy to learn about natural disasters using this book.

Saved my SLEEP!
I am now a happy, WELL-RESTED 40 yr old due to this book (and another book: What your Dr may not tell you about PreMenopause) Both of these have saved my LIFE, most importantly my SLEEP! For the past few years (after having a 3rd child) from age 37 onward, I could no longer fall deeply asleep, nor get REM/Delta SLEEP and NOTHING would work! (except Ambien) Well now I've learned about ...
Freeing the Natural Voice: Imagery and Art in the Practice of Voice and Language
10 reviews
Kristin Linklater
Drama Publishers
, 2006
Highly Recommended
As a theatre director, I have read a lot of books about other directors and stagecraft, and far fewer about the intimate work of the actor. I never got around to making a close study of voice until now, and FTNV has been a wonderful revelation for me. Not only is Linklater's work imagistically strong and physically clear, but the thoughtful and careful way she approaches "release" seems a ...

The Defining Work
The Natural is the very best that baseball novels has to offer. As a reader, one follows the sordid life of Roy Hobbs as he tries to rebound from an indiscretion of youth that has derailed his career for many years. Just as in Frank Nappi's novel The Legend of Mickey Tussler, [[ASIN:0312381093 The Legend of Mickey Tussler], you find yourself cheering and rooting for this phenom to attain all ...

Natural Medicine at it's best..
This book is the single most amazing book I have read on medicine and medical conditions. I have many medical books, and although they are quite definitive with regard to illnesses and mostly orthodox medication as a remedy, this book will open your eyes to a whole new world. The medical community does not treat the body holistically, and i do not mean that in a hippyish, spiritual way, but ...

A great health guide. Informative and practical
I was very impressed by the chapter about physical activities and related effects on health in general. The author explains in a systematic manner the positive and negative types of physical exercise and training. I have tremendously enjoyed the therapeutic techniques included in this book, especially those that improve the quality of our health. As a matter of fact, I began to use some of ...

No cancer patient should be without this book
I so far have taken one piece of advice from this book and it has improved my quality of life so much that I can't wait to try more. I am undergoing some really rough chemo treatments. Round 1 chemo left me achy and pretty much in bed for most of a week. My doctor told me there was nothing they could do for the fatigue. I looked at Dr. Blaylock's book and he recommended a supplement called ...

Not for the wimpy mided
Kevin Trudeau may well be as much all about the money as he blames the whole world, have crime records, and more. Yet, people still have to listen to him. Most people in America are very negligent about their obesity and diet despite the epidemics of cancer and more diseases. Everybody has known at least a person with a severe disease, such as diabetes, we all know that the canned and boxed food ...
Super Natural Cooking: Five Ways To Incorporate Whole and Natural Ingredients into Your Cooking

Love this approach to cooking
I think that I'm pretty knowledgeable when it comes to healthy eating, but still, before getting Super Natural Cooking, I considered items like margarine and fat-free dressings to be healthy. But Heidi Swanson's way makes much more sense -- doesn't it stand to reason that foods that are naturally cultivated would be received and digested by our bodies with far greater ease than factory-made ...

Natural Childbirth the Bradley Way: Revised Edition

Susan McCutcheon-Rosegg
Plume
, 1996
Great Overview
Great book, essential if you are planning to have a natural childbirth. Although I am taking Bradley classes, I would feel comfortable and confident that I could have a natural childbirth after reading this book -Bradley classes are a little expensive. Some of the relaxation exercises are a little cheesey, but they get the point across.

An All Time Top Favorite!
One of my very top all time favorites. Ackerman's writing is fantastic, and the subject is incredible. Cannot recommend highly enough-- I even own multiple loaner-copies! Before reading this, a book review would be about the story, characters, content. After reading..all that along with the texture of the print on the paper, the color of the cover, the smell of the ink, the quality of light while ...
