I find the Gaia Matrix Oracle rich in both esoteric and practical knowledge. I use both the book and cards often and find the mythology, symbology and weaving of patterns very helpful in my life.This is the kind of book that you can read and study forever and always find something new and meditating on the symbols helps to open up new pathways in one's thinking..Rowena Patte Kryder is a visionary in the true sense of the word.I truly enjoy this oracle.

As a Ph.D. student doing work on adsorption in chemical technology I sought books to get the facts in a way wich I could use in my work. Most books on adsorption deal with the problem on the basis of physical chemistry. This one does so on the basis of processes in industry. So it is the book for the chemical engineer, or the applied chemist.

Did you ever think you could see further if you stood on the shoulders of a giant? Here's your chance. These authors have been involved with cosmological investigations for over 50 years. They explain the theory of the Big Bang for the layman but with enough detail to challenge the non-specialist. (The non-specialists will probably want to skip the appendices but if one wants to get a flavor of the deep thinking involved in Big Bang research the appendices opens that door.)

The authors are not short on details and their recollection of personal experiences during their scientific endeavors makes the book most interesting. These authors are not merely reporting on what others are doing but rather reflecting on their own personal critical investigations and presenting their opinion on subsequent research endeavors. They have been observers and critics of the evolution of cosmological investigations for essentially their whole careers. Thus they have strong opinions which are expressed unambiguously. I would expect that some would disagree with their opinions but to me this clear expression of these opinions is refreshing. But to their credit these opinions are presented clearly as their opinions so that the reader can explore the issues and disagree to their hearts content.

As a non-physicist, I had read enough to understand that the abundance of the light elements was created according to the Big Bang theory during the primeval evolution of the universe. And further that the heavier elements up to iron were created in the heart of collapsing stars but had never quite understood why this was the case. The authors discussion and presentation of data on the binding energy of the elements made this reasonably understandable to me. I mention this because I want to emphasize how the authors present a broad overview of a very complex physics problem with clear discussions but in addition give sufficient data to support understanding by the layman. Thus this book is not an easy read for the layman but rather is a challenging and invigorating experience for the amateur physicist who loves to try to understand the universe we live in.

The book includes an expert review of most of the evolving developments in the field of cosmology since their seminal work in the late forties. They present a broad overview of the concept of inflation in the early universe and express their view that this remains an open question. For those interested in the "why" question, there is a brief chapter on the Anthropic Principle. But to me it seems clear that the authors are by far more interested in the "how" issues rather than the "why" issues.

This book is by far the best overview of this subject I have ever run across.

I am currently taking two biology classes at BYU, both of which use portions of this book, and I have found it to be very straight-forward and useful. Although some may say that I am being preferential since Dr. Fairbanks is a professor here at BYU, I'm not-- this book far outperforms the other texts we have and use, including the much lauded Molecular Cell Biology by Lodish. Dr. Fairbanks's book is well-written, contains clear, concise and easy to understand diagrams and his writing style brings genetics to life. Even a Freshman like I can easily dive into this book and understand the world of genetics. Furthermore, his choice to teach the molecular basis of genetics first is very logical and provides a solid background to later ideas like recombination and epistasis.

The reader tells Lorelei's diary-story with an openness, a directness that charms the listener. This is a real Lorelei, not a cartoon, and therefore even funnier.

This book has meant much to me personally. I always suggest that people buy the book for themselves. I am so dissappointed because I did not get my book back from someone who borrowed it. However, for me it is worth it to buy another one.

Russell and Islam do a very admirable job of portraying the life of Ghalib, what led him to write poetry, lead the lifestyle he did, his whole philosophy of life in a sense. The analysis combined with the selections of poetry make this a very enjoyable and useful book for anyone interested in Urdu poetry and in particular Ghalib.

Another beautiful book on the works of Emerson by Geldard. Geldard's commentary on the spiritually oriented themes of Emerson is sober and more important, intelligent. Geldard's books bring dignity to the discussion of a topic that is so often sugar coated with self-help tactics and exotic new age remedies. His commentary is selfless, almost seamless with the works discussed and never takes center stage. This book is truly one that adds quality to an already magnificent Emerson.

It doesn't matter weather you teach in private or public school. I have taught in both settings. Teaching is a stressful no matter where you teach or what you teach. This book help me handle one of my most difficult school years in my 8 now eight year career. The chapters that helped me were Would You Like to Resign?, Then There is My Principal? and Stuck in a Broken World. Those chapters made me think about my career in a different light. It help me handle what we teachers call "teacher burn out"
