Doctors from Hell: The Horrific Account of Nazi Experiments on Humans
21 reviews
Vivien Spitz
Sentient Publications, 2005
Doctors from Hell
Very sad book. 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 Better
6 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 Novel
12 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 ...

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 Answers
10 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 Physicians
32 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 Methods
4 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 Nonduality

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 Enlightenment
25 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 Illness
14 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 Living
5 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 Child
12 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 Self
11 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 ...

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 ...

You Can Beat the Odds: The Surprising Factors Behind Chronic Illness and Cancer
10 reviews
Brenda Stockdale
Sentient Publications, 2009
Essential Reading for Healthy People Who Want to Stay That Way!
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 ...

The Creaky Traveler in the North West Highlands of Scotland: A Journey for the Mobile but Not Agile
5 reviews
Warren Rovetch
Sentient Publications, 2002
You needn't be creaky to enjoy this book!
Warren Rovetch targets "the mobile but not agile" traveler, but even the most agile reader can enjoy his vivid descriptions and perceptive insights into the people and the landscape of the Scottish Highlands. Apparently he only spent a few weeks passing through this magnificent region where I lived for three years, yet he pegs it perfectly! Reading "The Creaky Traveler in the North West ...
