GREAT BOOK!
This book completely convinced me about the way dogs evolved. I really like it! I learned a lot from it. I liked the writers' style as well. Especially I liked the theory for village dog. If you come to Bulgaria, from where I am you'll see the same things authors describe for Mexico and Africa! Thank you, it was such an experience to read this book!
Why Men Earn More: The Startling Truth Behind the Pay Gap -- and What Women Can Do About It

Warren Farrell

An excellent coverage of the subject, incorrect marketing
The controversy surrounding this book is not only in its very existence in the gender-political climate of today but also the author's weak choice of his target market. The material is unsettling for the female reader searching for yet another sympathetic ear in the mire of self-help books, an industry with synthetic reality for sale. It's totally ok for a handful male-oriented books to exist ...

Most Comprehensive Nutrition Study Ever
This book is critical for anyone studying nutrition. Why China? Because of "such a massive variation in cancer rates among different counties when genetic backgrounds were similar from place to place" (p. 71). Quite simply, it leaves no doubt that genetics aren't involved, but rather environment. Though I have read hundreds of books on nutrition, I was blown away by the research herein. I had ...

Jeremiah 29:13
This book proves the mandate God gave us in the Old Testament Jeremiah 29:13 King James Version "And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart." The writer has done a great job describing how all cultures no matter how remote have in their history the existence of the one true God. The same cultures call for the arrival of The Redeemer and also a world wide ...

An overview of some upgrades Wilber makes in this book
Ken Wilber's book, Integral Spirituality, has some new insights to offer, including an upgrade of his four-quadrant model. Taking into account that a holon in any of the four quadrants can be seen from the outside, or experienced as--or as if--from within, this gives a total of eight perspectives or zones. The Four Quadrants with eight primordial perspectives, or hori-zones of arising, and ...

Collins
, 2007
This is an excellent story of scientific discovery.
The authors, Mike Morwood and Penny Van Oosterzee, present a first-hand account of the discovery of parts of 13 hominin (ie `human lineage') skeletons (including a well-preserved skull), in a cave on the island of Flores in Indonesia in 2003. These bones have been interpreted to belong to a new species of `human': indeed a dwarfed descendant of a pre-Homo sapien species. Mike Morwood and co., who ...

Satisfying Intellectual Discussion
"It now borders on the fantastic to realize that clinical death experiences have become the only experimental link between ancient prophesies and modern science." ~ Dr. Maurice Rawlings To Hell and Back goes beyond a casual discussion of near-death experience (NDE) and takes the topic of life and death to engaging spiritual levels, even to discussions of out-of-the-body experiences (OBEs). Dr. ...
Buried Alive: The Startling Truth About Neanderthal Man

Kudos!
A great deal of credit must be given to Dr. Cuozzo who is one of a very select few individuals who have ever been allowed to study actual Neanderthal skulls--as opposed to the plaster copies that litter universities and museums around the world. His studies--from an orthodontic perspective--shine great illumination on the biases and presuppositions that plague much of modern evolutionary ...

Intriguing at the very least
The Angel Hunter I gave this a 5-star for one main reason. It was thought provoking and sparked my imagination. It was the catalyst for my own novel, The Angel Hunter. The Watchers, the offspring, the Book of Enoch... all fascinating subject matter. If you consume what this author writes with an open mind and common sense, I'm sure you will find it at least intriguing. Is it information on ...

Ground-breaking History
This clearly written comparative study will engage your attention, interest and startle you with the abundance of existing archaeological and literary records that show how much genuine history is contained in the Hebrew Scriptures. The author has a wonderfully, clear, easygoing style that makes him a great tour guide through records and sites from ancient Egypt, Assyria, Moab that reveal ...

The Big Bang Never Happened: A Startling Refutation of the Dominant Theory of the Origin of the Universe

Interesting Concept
Very interesting concept and I am personally almost certain that the Universe did not come into being through one 'Big Bang' as it still officially stated as a theory. If this theory were true there would not be enough material to create one arm on a modern and conventional human being. University seminars would state differently, of course.

Avoidism 1958 Style
Recenly, I read Roger Prices book, which was written in the 50s. It had not only humor of its day, but I found it to be ahead of its time, and relevant to today. The examples were outrageous, and the drawings were crass, but the ideas he came up with were no different than the way the average person of the 2000s might think, although not say so publicly, as Roger did. One example in particular ...

An exceptional piece of work
As a student of the Dao i have studied six different translations of the Dao de Jing intensly. I have never been able to pick one out as the best. All versions have something of the essense of the Dao, and all have something of the translators desires or his or hers own spiritual/philosophical background. But then the Ma-wang-tui texts were translated by Mr. Henricks and we were indeed closer ...

Britham's Destroying Angel: Being the Life, Confession and Startling Disclosure of the Notorious Bill Hickman, Danite Chief of U
Basically simply the story of Bill Hickman in his own words. There is a preface from his lawyer J.H. Beadle which is quite insightful. The issue is, was Mr. Hickman truthful in his account. I would recommend reading a companion book like Hiltons "Wild Bill" Hickman and the Mormon Frontier. It is good to get someone elses views based on their research. I am really glad to have been able to get ...

Coffee wih Jan
Jan must have been reading my journal. Every day, I eagerly awaited time in her book, or as I called it, "Coffee with Jan." She seemingly knew my dilemma before I did. I was stuck trying to hear from God. I was fruitlessly trying to live with more passion. I wanted more of God's goodness, but the old places that I had found it were trickling it out in diminishing amounts. Jan eloquently drew me ...
