"Heal the Earth" is a common call today.Devereaux points out that it is humans who have to be healed, because it is humans who are doing the damage to the Earth.He advocates that we get in touch with the power and energy of nature to balance ourselves and be in tume with our natural environment.Some methods he suggests are: visiting sacred sites and wilderness areas, exploring the local geography, lucid dreaming, tape recording a waterfall, studying clouds,rocks and bark for suggestive shapes and patterns, and many other activities.A strength of this book is the practical advice it gives on relating to various Earth mysteries and energies.

It really helps point out what the issues are and strategies to take.

Three revolutionaries in one book: William S. Burroughs, Brion Gysin, and Throbbing Gristle(Genesis P. Orridge). This book will change the way you look at society and language. Burroughs' piece, "The Revised Boy Scout Manual" is groundbreaking. Gysin is interviewed about his painting, writing, and time in Morocco. P. Orridge talks about music and magick. YOU NEED THIS BOOK!

As a chemist, but not a physical chemist, I am often in need of not only a refresher in many topics within chemistry but also a more in-depth treatment of a topic. It is often difficult finding information about topics outisde of your major area of interest that are on an appropriate level to allow you to learn quickly without being overwhelmed, yet learn at a sufficient level of depth as to use your new-found knowledge effectively. I have encountered several books that I have found particularly useful in this regard. Pilling and Seakins is one of them.

The authors do a great job of mixing the theoretical treatment with actual data and data analysis (a boon to those of us who use kinetics as a tool, but do not focus on its theory in our research!). I have used this book in my own research as well as in a supplement to teaching a graduate class in Physical Organic Chemistry. The description of collision and transition state theory was particularly helpful in this latter regard. Further advantages of this book is that it is quite well written and makes use of excellent figures and diagrams.

If you own one book on chemical kinetics, this is the one for you.

Like its predecessor, "Reading and Understanding MORE Multivariate Statistics" achieves exactly what its title implies. Geared toward non-statisticians in behavioral and social science fields, this book provides clear and reasonably simple explanations of common multivariate analyses. This book includes special attention to scales of measurement, reliability and generalizability theory, item response theory, and assessing the validity of measurement. In addition, it covers cluster analysis, Q-technique factor analysis, structural equation modeling, canonical correlation analysis, repeated measures analysis, and survival analysis. The authors present the conceptual underpinnings, underlying assumptions, and basic procedures for each analysis with a minimum of equations and many concrete examples. The book not teach you how to perform the analyses but does provide references for those who wish to get more detailed information. As a research scientist who doesn't always remember everything I learned in graduate statistics class, I find this book an invaluable aid keeping up with the current literature in my field and in making the most of statistical consultations. This book is ideal for anyone whose job requires them to be a "consumer" of research; for researchers who wish to further their understanding of data analysis; and as a companion text for graduate statistics classes.

The Reading Solution is a book of solutions for every problem that might arise at any age. If you want your children or students to love books and reading, this book tells all about it. The book is not only for parents but also for teachers and school librarians. I am an elementary school librarian and I don't know what I would've done without this book. I highly recommend it, and I don't even have kids yet.

This book is a wonderful resource for those endeavoring to do a self study of the Pauline Epistles, or for those leading a bible study. I found this text to be both challenging and informative for teens and adults alike. This text is very easy to read, while not being over simplistic. Also, the author gives questions at the end of each section to help the reader focus on what Paul is saying to the reader in todays world. A wonderful text.

Erickson and Murphy's book has become the new standard text in theoretical readings in anthropology. It surpasses the others in its treatment of more current theories, and its length (it includes many more articles). I can only think of two drawbacks to the book: 1) no footnotes, which are helpful in this type of book, and 2) it is rather pricey. However, if you want the best collection currently available, you should get it.

As a real estate investor I often refer to this book when I am in need help making a decision. It is the next best thing to having a seasoned partner who has been through many market cycles. As a Licensed Commercial Real Estate Appraiser and Broker I am impressed with the material as well as how it is presented. While lifetime of practical knoweledge is somehow reduced to a single 900 page plus book, it is not "dumbed down" for mass appeal purposes. Although I was introduced to this book through a course at Boston University I found it's format more interesting than academic.When investing your money in real estate it is better to read a book like this and learn than, to "just do it" and learn the hard way, believe me. This book is a keeper for your professional library.
