Improve Your Health Pro-Actively
I have just completed "Improve Your Health Pro-Actively." This book is dynamite. I loved reading stories of patients that were told one thing by other physicans and than given Chiropractic care and improved beyond anyones expectations. You will not want to put this book down. After you finish reading it you will want to experience the new technology of Chiropractic better known as the Pro-Adjuster. Enjoy, I know that I did.

A Derrida Must-Read!!!
The first part of the book is a short story by Blanchot and the seond part is Derrida's analysis. Derrida's critique is amazing stuff. He performs a close-reading, line by line. Derrida is one of the greatest thinkers, if not the most thought provoking theorist/critic, of our time.


Jazz Guitar
Published in Paperback by Hal Leonard (1993)
Author: Maurice J. Summerfield
Amazon base price: $39.50
Average review score:

An Encyclopedic Dictionary of Jazz Guitarists (1900-1997)
This is a straight forward listing of all major and not-so-major jazz guitarists mainly from the U.S. and Europe. There is a biography, and a select discography and publications on every player. The book opens with a well-researched introduction on the evolution of jazz guitar, and closes with a section on the guitar as a jazz instrument--from Gibson to Benedetto. If you love jazz guitar, and need a handbook--this is it. Pictures are all in black and white. How I wish Summerfield included color pictures if they are available save for those artists from the early to mid 1900s. This 1998 publication is the 4th edition, and jazz guitar is still evolving with revolutionary players like Tuck Andress and Charlie Hunter paving the way. Maurice Summerfield has provided us a good survey of this art form.


The Jeffersonian Tradition in American Democracy.

A true Account of the Jeffersonian Tradition
Charles Wiltse's the Jeffersonian Tradition in American Democracy is a very good account of the intellectual background and philosophy of Thomas Jefferson. Wiltse starts out with the intellectual background for Enlightenment thought in Great Britian and France. It is shown how the philosophy of republicanism and libertarian thought progressed from the mid 17th century to the time of Jefferson.

Next Jefferson's intellectual background is explored. Locke, Bacon, Newton, Sidney, and Lord Kames are shown to be the main influences on our greatest founder. It then moves to Jefferson's progressive philosophy of liberty and republican thought. Public education, religious freedom, the abolition of slavery, ending primogenture and entail, and a republican constitution consume the mind of Jefferson.

Wiltse also goes into Jefferson's philosophy for "ward republics",a form of grass roots democracy. He details Jefferson's passion for ward republics to be the "salvation of the republic" as he called it. The main thing that makes this work so good id that it lacks the anti-intellectual postmodern "deconstruction" of Jefferson. No political correctness or extreme "presentism" viewpoint. A really good book for a Jeffersonian education.

Beautifully Written
I've been reading the general linear model section all day today, and it is just so nicely written I thought I needed to write a review. I can't imagine a clearer and more succinct description of this difficult topic. Entirely understandable, but be prepared to read chapters from beginning to end as unexpected abbreviations are often introduced and carried throughout the chapter.

As with all of the Kendall Advanced Theory books, a moderate degree of mathematical sophistication is assumed.

La Cocina De Noche/The Night Kitchen
This is my daughter's favorite book and mine too. The graphics are superb and the rhyming is wonderful to keep her attention during our bedtime routine. She is only 16 months old but I'm looking forward to the day she is able to read it to me.

What a Wonderful piece
I just received the score today and I'm already in love with it. What a wonderful piece!

The writing is exquisite and the print is very easy to read. The score itself is durable and, with a little pressing, lies flat on a table or music stand. It's the largest size available (which is what I prefer) and, most importantly to the starving music student, it's cheap!

A must for musicians and concert-goers alike.
