It is brilliant that the author, working as a court reporter, could compile such a great account of the transcripts from some of the Nuremberg trials, while blending in her personal life experiences. Thank you for a different view of the Holocaust.             Instead of Education: Ways to Help People do Things Better6 reviews John Holt Sentient Publications, 2003 Holt great as usual It's the sixth book of Holt I have read so far and probably the most syntetic; he outlines not only the problems but also the solutions. He has no mercy for knowing-better educators, T-eachers working not FOR, but ON students, S-chools full of fear and anxiety and humiliation, coercion, mindlessness, forced learning, carrot-and-stick attitude; and great appreciation for sensitive, competent ...             What is Self?: A Study of the Spiritual Journey in Terms of Consciousness,13 reviews Bernadette Roberts Sentient Publications, 2005 Ultimate non-duality state articulated. In reading Jerry Katz's book, "One" which is collection of what is written on the non-dual state, the chapter with sample pages from Bernadette Roberts book "What is Self?" was riveting. Having read thousands of books on practices leading to "enlightenment" this is new ground. Few persons having this experience are able to articulate the experience into language understandable to any degree. I ...             Standard of Care: A Novel12 reviews David Kerns Sentient Publications, 2007 A fictional account with real-world feel Full disclosure: I have the good fortune of knowing Dr. Kerns both personally and professionally. He is an amazing, talented and inspiring character --- and he has written a remarkable first novel. I recently finished reading Jerome Groopman's excellent non-fiction "How Doctors Think". Groopman discusses medical errors often referencing the effects of the medical establishment. In ...             One: Essential Writings on Nonduality18 reviews Jerry Katz Sentient Publications, 2007 Finally! A Book I Can Give to Friends that ask, "What...?" A++ I am grateful to Jerry Katz for offering us this superb introduction and explication on the meaning, function, and essence of Nonduality. In the past, when friends or acquaintances asked me to recommend a book on this marvelous, but sometimes difficult subject, I was forced to hand them a half-dozen books and point out the pertinent sections--No more! Mr. Katz's lovely book brings all the ...             Nothing I See Means Anything: Quantum Questions, Quantum Answers10 reviews David Parrish Sentient Publications, 2005 Quantum leap--feet first into reality I have always on one level thought that the matters discussed here are fictions based upon wishful thinking. Dr. Parrish does not prove me wrong, but he certainly demonstrates that I cannot any more be certain of my position. He agrees that that the universe seems as if it is illogical and without meaning. The earth can feel like an asylum or interminable obstacle course, and this can ...             Changing the Course of Autism: A Scientific Approach for Parents and Physicians32 reviews Bryan Jepson Sentient Publications, 2007 This is an incredible book! This book went way beyond my expectations. It is packed with evidence-based care for children with autism spectrum disorders, care that in some cases can lead to full recovery. It is shocking how much we actually do know about autism and it's causes and treatments, despite what we hear in the media. There is a lot of excellent research, published in top peer-reviewed medical journals, that is ...             How to Heal with Singing Bowls: Traditional Tibetan Healing Methods4 reviews Suren Shrestha Sentient Publications, 2009 The book I have been waiting for. Today I received my copy of How to Heal with Singing Bowls. I didn't expect a CD to be included. That's a bonus and an excellent one too. I went at once and listened to the CD. It is a practical guide, step by step and easily followed. After an initial listening I gathered my five bowls and tried to follow along. As I had to determine their tuning this was only partially successful. I have ...             How to Attain Enlightenment: The Vision of Nonduality3 reviews James Swartz Sentient Publications, 2010 Real Avaita This is quite an honor to give the first Amazon book review for this Swartz book as it just might be the best Advaita/Vendanta (Science of Self Inquiry) written by a Westerner. I have read numerous Neo-Advaita books and 90% of them leave my head spinning with concepts that blow the mind (i.e. `You are no thing', `Just look, its right in front of you', `There is nothing for you to do, you are ...             Pass the Jelly: Tales of Ordinary Enlightenment25 reviews Gary Crowley Sentient Publications, 2009 What fun! I was howling with laughter at times! Wonderful Last night I started reading "Pass the Jelly" and, for me, it is an absolute delight! I usually read dry and boring non-fiction, or serious spiritual stuff, but this book had me guffawing! I am savoring it...forcing myself to read it slowly...grateful for the laughs. I will update my review later. For now, buy it if you want to be swept along with Gary's magnificent story telling -- I'm glad I ...             They Can't Find Anything Wrong!: 7 Keys to Understanding, Treating, and Healing Stress Illness14 reviews David D. Clarke Sentient Publications, 2007 Why Aren't All Doctors Like Dave Clarke? I am delighted to see that a medical doctor has this level of compassion and sensitivity for his patients. This is a rare quality indeed. Dr. Clarke does a wonderful job explaining how childhood stressors and abuse lead to problems later in life with chronic pain and other illnesses that aren't usually thought of as psychologically- induced. The way he speaks to his patients and the way he ...             The Safe Baby, Expanded and Revised: A Do-It-Yourself Guide to Home Safety and Healthy Living5 reviews Debra Smiley Holtzman Sentient Publications, 2009 A great resource This expanded and revised edition has all the helpful advice of the first, plus a financial aspect. The book includes money saving tips and discusses topics such as cloth diapers vs. disposable diapers. Holtzman does a great job staying objective - presenting readers with facts and information, but letting them decide which option is best for their family. As with the first edition, I love ...             The Shut-Down Learner: Helping Your Academically Discouraged Child12 reviews Ph.D Richard Selznick Sentient Publications, 2009 Enlightening The Shut-Down Learner takes the "disability" out of the phrase, learning disability. Dr. Selznic shows how not every child learns the same, but unfortunately is forced to be taught with methodologies that don't work for the spatial learner. Self-esteem falls when a child sees his friends "getting it". So these bright gifted children are left to feel stupid, not only because they can't learn ...             The Art of Aging: Celebrating the Authentic Aging Self11 reviews Alice & Richard Matzkin Sentient Publications, 2009 The Art of Aging A glorious gathering of older beings, sculpted and painted, with and without clothing by an artist couple in the process of examining their own aging process. Not all of the figures are shown is a flattering light, rather, the realities of wrinkles and folds might make the viewer/reader more comfortable with his or her own aging body. The Art of Aging is divided into several sections with ...             Publish Your Own Magazine, Guide Book, or Weekly Newspaper: How to Start, Manage, and Profit from a Homebased ...17 reviews Thomas A.

Highly recommended.             Portraits of Pregnancy: The Birth of a Mother6 reviews Jennifer Loomis, Hugo Kugiya Sentient Publications, 2009 A glorious and ultimately positive portrayal of pregnancy Portraits of Pregnancy: The Birth of a Mother is an amazing collection of portraits of more than fifty women - each entry shows a black-and-white photograph revealing the beauty of pregnancy, accompanied by text that details her journey to motherhood. The women in the photographs are nude or nearly nude, but the context is not overtly sexual; it is about celebrating pregnancy and motherhood. From ...             Getting Started as a Freelance Writer, Expanded Edition (Culture Tools)3 reviews Robert W.

As a mind-body practioner for over 20 years, I always wished that I had one book to give to my patients that said it "all" in an easy to read format. It didn't exist, but now it does. Brenda's book is very enjoyable to read, and so specific that it can give readers a manual that they can use to feel empowered. In addition to helping those with chronic illness and cancer, it can also be utilized ...             Secrets of Voice-Over Success, Revised & Expanded 2nd Edition: Top Voice-Over Actors Reveal How They Did It Joan Baker Sentient Publications, 2009             The Creaky Traveler in the North West Highlands of Scotland: A Journey for the Mobile but Not Agile5 reviews Warren Rovetch Sentient Publications, 2002 You needn't be creaky to enjoy this book!
