The healing Art Martin performed on me really did produce miraculous results. The book outlines all his secrets which he does not covet. He believes in empowering people to heal themselves by example. The theories in the book really do work and our bodies and our minds are directly connected and constantly talking to each other. When you recognize this and interject with new thought patterns your body's health immediately responds. A miracle to some but pure science to Art. My malady before I met Art included: Panic Attacks, Depression, Low Self Esteem, Loss of Purpose, Chronic BackPain, Joint Pain in entire body, Chronic Migraines, Daily Headaches, Powerlessness, Massive Weight Gain, Fibromyalgia. I am now pain free, migraine free, emotionally joyful, psychologically powerful and slim! THANK YOU ART MARTIN!

For 16 years I suffered with an "allergy" to citric acid. Everytime I had ANYTHING that contained citric acid my body would react.
After having read this book, I scheduled a session with the author. One session, and I no longer react to citric acid. I can eat anything containing citric acid; lemons, oranges, grapefruits...you name it!
Having had such success, I have taken several workshops with Art Martin and am using the techniques to help others.
THANK YOU ART MARTIN!

When I found Art's book in a bookstore in Sydney, I booked a flight to the USA with high hopes. The doctors had given me four months to live so I had nothing to lose. In a week of treatments, we had cleared my cancer. He did the impossible, but it seemed so simple when we found what the cause was. Miracles do happen.

It is a pity that the Holme's casebook hasn't been found, but this book helps to relieve some of the gaps and inconsistencies in Watson's accounts and to help understand the locations and notable figures in Victorian England. Perhaps, as is suggested in one footnote, Watson had strict instructions to conceal the identity of everyone ... and hence every train mentioned in the Canon is erroneous.

Klinger does a masterful job of using sources such as the 1883 Encyclopedia Britannica and the 1894 Baedeker's handbook of travel in Britain as well as recent scholarship. For example, in a footnote in the Noble Bachelor describing that there is food enough for four, "Holmes must have deduced that Lord St. Simon would not remain to share the repast; a point which Watson completely missed". Klinger also provided his own insights. The few appendices provide insight into such things as the identity of the snake in the speckled band or unrecorded cased recorded in the five orange pips. Perhaps the only annoying thing in the book is the use of abbreviations of some of the references. The Baring-Gold annotated Sherlock Homes is, still essential, and this is a welcome addition.

...Klinger's notes are extremely helpful and informative (not to mention entertaining), and the copious illustrations by Paget are a great addition as well. This (and the future volumes, of which Memoirs, Hound of the Baskervilles, and Study in Scarlet have been published to date) are a worthy successor to William Baring-Gould's justly acclaimed annotated Holmes from years back, and are, in opinion, a better value and more enjoyable read than the rather dry Oxford editions.

If you are new to Sherlock Holmes, this may not be the most economical way to pick up all of Conan Doyle's work. But if you are a long-time Holmes fan, or just want to experience the Holmes stories in a deeper and more informed way, I can think of no better purchase than this. ...

This book was very interesting and obviously meticulously researched. The Sherlock Holmes stories included are fun to read and Klinger's annotations make them really come alive! He has included information about the times, inconsistencies in details and interesting speculations. I already loved the Sherlock Holmes stories and this book improved and explained and illustrated them masterfully!

A MUST BOOK FOR ANYONE WHO WONDERS WHY BOOKS BECAME A FUNCTION OF CORPORATE INTEGRATION.Klebanoff lays it all out there- the branding of names , integrated ties ins with every corporaste entity from the vatican to golf gear makers,the integration of book reviewing with book publishing and corporate promotion .Just as the meat business was transformed by total integration ( from the beast to McDonalds)Klebanoff describes why every book is part of the corporate process of integrated
content .

Arthur Klebanoff is one of today's most formidable and well known literary agents and a key figure in a front-page, technology-centric legal battle with publishing giant Random House in a case focusing on the question of who owns the electronic rights to the great books of the 20th Century. In The Agent: Personalities, Politics, And Publishing, Klebanoff vividly recounts all the lessons he's learned as a professional, ranging from his early days in politics to his current position at the center of the book rights corporate and judicial maelstrom. Klebanoff asserts that these days every author is an agent of their own future and shows how to create multiple opportunities for success in a constantly-changing literary marketplace. The Agent is much more than just another publishing tell-all autobiography. It is an insider's report on publishing industry transitions and challenges. Here also is a compelling and informative account of Random House's initial charges of copyright violation and reactions by major publishing players and the first legal case to directly focus on the vital question of who owns electronic rights in book publishing. If you are an author, literary agent, publisher, marketing director, or publicist, then you need to read Arthur Klebanoff's The Agent.

This idiosynchratic and highly personnal memoir by Arthur Klebanoff, one of the nation's premier literary agents, is chock full of fascinating tidbits about the worlds of publishing and politics, and how they came to intersect in Mr. Klebanoff's high-power career. Not nearly as polished, perhaps, as Michael Korda's volume on his years in publishing, and Mr.Klebanoff's name-dropping is excessive. But overall, the book has a quirky charm that makes it hard to put down.

Ancient China was the best book dealing with China that I have so far read. It was intriguing how I learned, saw, and discovered many things in only about 65 pages. The beautiful photography gave the words life. This book proves excellence truly exists and gives the word perfection an even greater new meaning.

DK eyewitness books are some of the greatest non-fiction books around. The distinctive white background and high-quality photography gives this book an edge over any other nonfiction picture book. And -- these pictures are real! They're beautiful museum-quality photos of all things related to Ancient China, accompanied by informative captions and text.

Learn about Ancient China, its rulers, and its people. SEE the objects common to everyday life in Ancient China. If you know someone (young or old) who is fascinated by Ancient China, then you must introduce them to this book!

This book and all Eyewitness books for that matter, are excellent for the classroom, child care centre, and home. Filled with real photographs and valuable information, this book is highly recomended!

I bought this book over 15 years ago and I still refer to it, and got a second copy when my book fell apart. It's very broad in coverage of all filtering and is a thin paperback with lots of easily understood concepts. A keeper.

I received the first copy of the book from my employers when I took a short-course in Kalman Filters to augment my systems knowledge for performing inertial navigation analysis work for missile engineering at TRW in Redondo Beach, CA. That was 20 years or so ago. I can say I have yet to see another book that can match or surpass this one in simplicity in explanations, background materials (linear algebra, linear differential equations, state variable theory - control systems aspect, and random processes), cover many varied areas of applications and nonlinear problems, present the practical discrete-time equations alongside the more theoretically based continuous-time equations and demonstrate their uses and meaning, and discuss practical implemetation issues, schematically depict difficult ideas, equations and concepts through well organized and coherent diagrams and tables, and design manageable and solvable problems as exercises for learning at the end of each chapter, all of these done in a small inexpensive paperback. The book, unlike most others I have read or browsed, does not in any way assume a priori knowledge or basic understanding of Kalman Filters or what they are all about, and presents enough fundamental materials written clearly and lucidly so that any motivated student or worker new to the field can pick up almost everything he or she needs for learning. Though the book is not quite not a theoretical landmark for the mathematically inclined (and makes no bones about it), yet it has enough derivations to make it rigorous in its presentation of the mathematics underlying Kalman Filtering. Perhaps the computer oriented students and professionals will be disappointed because the book predates Matlab, but it did well in the days when analytical software was often custom designed, tailored and developed for engineering and scientific applications. A brief summary - very readable and approachable, unpretentious writing style, a great learning guide for the uninitiated as well as the systems engineering practitioner.

This is a textbook covering optimal estimation, solutions to stochastic differential equations with clear discussions on implementation. This text is a must have for solving multi-dimensional parameter estimation problems.

Here in "The Art of James Hetfield", you'll find James' rhythm guitar riffs for such Metallica classics like "Hit the Lights", "For Whom the Bell Tolls", "Fade to Black", "Creeping Death", "Battery", "Master of Puppets", "One", "Enter Sandman", "The Unforgiven", "Until It Sleeps", and "Fuel" among others, plus the solos for Puppets, "To Live is to Die", "Nothing Else Matters", "The House Jack Built", "Thorn Within", and "Carpe Diem Baby", and it even has the entire transcription of "Sad but True". Everything is explained and transcripted beautifully (it even has tabs), making this a good book for novice guitarists looking for a challenge, and a good companion for seasoned guitar players looking to play some classic Metallica tunes.

This book has a bunch of James's rhythms and solos. But be aware that this book doesn't have fully transcribed songs, only selected riffs from each of the albums.

This book is a great book if you are a Metallica fan. Even if you a new fan or a die hard fan its a great book to learn about the lead signer of Metallica. From his childhood to the band life you learn it all. You learn that his life wasn't all what it was cracked up to be. You learn about the history of the band also.

This book begins with Arthur's parents telling him and his siter D.W. that they are expecting a new baby in about six months. D.W. is terribly excited. She can't wait for the baby to come but Arthur isn't so sure of the whole thing.
The next day at school he talks to his friends about it, and they don't reassure him of anything. In fact they make him even more doubtful than before. Binky tells him that he should get some earplugs,or he'll never sleep because the baby will always be crying in the middle of the night.
Buster tells him that he can forget about playing afterschool because he'll have to go home and babysit everyday.
Muffy tells him that he'll have to change all the dirty diapers that the baby makes.
Francine tells him that he will probably start talking like the baby does.
For the next few months all Arthur sees are babies everywhere they are all he thinks about and not in a good way.
One day after school Arthur comes home and Arthur's mom shows him their baby photo album. He sees different pictures of him and D.W. when they were babies.
The next Saturday morning Arthur sees his mom packing a suitcase and he asks her where she is going. She tells him that she isn't going anywhere they just have to be ready if the baby decides to come.
Sunday morning Arthur goes down to the kitchen to get some breakfast, but instead of his mom standing at the stove, his Grandma Thora was there. She told Arthur and D.W. that they had a new baby sister and that after they had eaten breakfast they would go to the hospital to see her.
And so they did. They met their dad at the hospital and he took them to the nursery part of the hospital and he shows them Kate, their new baby sister.
On Tuesday Arthur's mom and dad brought Kate home. The doorbell was constantly rinnging and it was always more presents for the baby.
That night they were in Kate's nursery and Arthur's mom asked him if he would like to hold Kate, but he said "I'd rather look." D.W. said that it was for the better because Arthur didn't know beans about babies.
A few days later Arthur's mom needed help and she asked Arthur to watch Kate while she went upstairs. D.W. said that she would take care of everything. The doorbell rang and D.W. opened the door and some of Arthur's friends were there. D.W. told them that Arhtur coulnd't play, but they could come see her baby.
D.W. was very defensive and she told everyone not to get too close to her baby and to be quiet because her baby was sleeping. Then Kate woke up and D.W. said that Kate wanted her bottle. Kate drank her bottle very fast and when she was done she began to cry. D.W. told everyone that she had it under control. She kissed Kate on the head, but that didn't stop the crying, she bounced Kate up and down but Kate wailed louder,then Arthur picked up Kate and patted her on the back. Kate let out a big burp and Arthur told everyone that everything was all right now.
I thought this was a great book especially for a family that is expecting and already has one or more children. It tells kids that there is no reason to exclude yourself and not be a part of the new baby and it tells them that even if you think you can't you can help with the new baby. I recommend this to any family that is expectin and would urge them to read it to their kids and fully explain what they can do to help when the baby arrives.

This was such a great book for an older sibling expecting a baby brother or sister as well as for expecting a third child in the family. It really touched on what children might be wonderring or worrying about, helping both the child and the parent to open up and discuss these fears and concerns. My kids loved this and all the Arthur books.

Arthur has a new baby sister named Kate. But, Arthur isn't so excited. He is scared that she will be like DW (his other sister). But, it turns out she really isn't like DW. Arthur wishes that Kate was sleeping in his room. One day Kate started to cry and when DW was getting Kate a toy, Arthur saved the day.

This collection has 5 ACC stories, and among them 3 of the best science fiction stories of all-time. You will be hard-pressed to find an SF fan who will tell you that 2001: A Space Odyssey, Rendezvous With Rama, and The City & The Stars are not three of the best science fiction books ever written. And the reason, is simply because they ARE three of the best! Each one is a masterpiece in it's own right, the kind of future story that could only have come from Arthur C. Clarke. No one else could've written these books. That's not to discount the other two stories in this collection: The Deep Range (which is a good book about the sea (not space!) which a very poetic ending), and A Fall of Moondust, another ACC classic. If Amazon ever gets this book back, be sure to order it!

Unlike the other Rama books, with the possible exeption of number 2, this was escellent. The plot, the action, the characters, and even the setting was unbelievable. This was a well-written, well thought out book. And the last line was incredible....The Ramans do everything in threes...

The story of an expedition to a giant cylindrical craft that passes through our solar system. It's long been a favourite of mine and I have read it dozens of times. Apparently someone in Hollywood is going to make a film about it soon. Can't wait.

I got this book because I'm a fan of Kennedy. As I expected I got a very good overview of Kennedy's acting career. But what surprised me is how this book places Kennedy's work in historical context. It's a remarkable achievement. The pages written by Kennedy's daughter are a great addition -- poignant and richly detailed.

It's about time that someone wrote a book about one of the greatest, and sometimes overlooked, American actors of the 20th Century. This book is one of the best film biographies I have ever read for two simple reasons (besides the fact that it is extremely well written and researched): 1) It is about the man and his WORK - and I emphasize W-O-R-K as apposed to G-O-S-S-I-P.
The main thrust is focused on the richeness that he has brought to the screen and shared with his audience. 2) It ties his life and work by interjecting what was going on in the world at each major step in his illustrious career. This is a very illuminating device for me as I believe that artists cannot separate themselves from the events and idiologies of their time. For actors, choices such as the roles they accept or reject and, needless to say, the films themselves are a reflection of their times. So this becomes a vaulable avenue by which one can better understand the artist.
The research that must have gone into writing this book, and the careful attention to detail is impressive. This a book that should set the standard for other books on actors and one that should be part of anyone's bookshelf if they are seriously interested in the history, art and legacy of a great actor. My only critisism is really directed toward the way the book is promoted. On the surface, it appears that the publisher is bent of promoting Kennedy as an actor in Westers when his greatest roles (such as in "Elmer Gantry and Lawrence of Arabia") were clearly not. So don't let the cover of the book deceive you. This is an exceptinal book about a very great artist who left an impressive body of work for us to enjoy. Meredith Macsoud, we can never thank you enough!

This book brings to life a time when character actors were an integral part of a film. Arthur Kennedy's role in each of his films demonstrates the vitality of the character actor. His ability to give meaning to a scene by just a gesture, glance or reflection of his voice made the difference of caring about the story and its characters. He made each one come to life. From the beginning of his career on stage at the Globe Theatre in New York in 1937 to the end of his career in a film called Grandpa, in 1989, a span of 52 years, Kennedy gave us a quality of acting that even Laurence Olivier called him a "lovely" actor during their production of Becket in 1961. The book is a treasure.

This is a wonderful little book, designed to teach us not to let go of things if they seem to be worthless, or of little worth. Arthur, in this case, wants to have a "tag sale" and get rid of all his old junk. Now there's an interesting idea. Unfortunately his sister, Violet, doesn't believe she has any old junk, so he sets out to put up signs, place tags on his "old junk" and price them accordingly. All except, of course, his honey bear with the one eye. In the adventure which follows, we see him trying to protect his bear and hide him so he won't get bought, only to have his sister "bargain" with him for the old bear. Then, of course, because he doesn't own it anymore, his sister sets out to re-invent the bear to her image. Arthur's idea of trying to control the bear are shattered, and he comes up with a way of continuing to bond with the bear in another fashion. A great story, with wonderful illustrations. Highly recommended!!!

Arthur can part with Baby King Kong and a bent hula hoop, but can he part with his Honey Bear? He wants to be grown up, but isn't so sure he can actually go through with it. We see his reluctance at a near sale, and then his little sister is so insistant that he gives in. But the items she's traded pallor in Honey Bear's absence. What will Arthur do?

Well drawn-- kids will find a lot to look at even if the book is being read to them. It's nicely written too, simply but with enough detail to make it interesting and funny. If you find the version with the read-along audio tape, get it. It's very good!

This book has a lot of depth for a beginning reader. Arthur and his little sister Violet (they are chimps) set aside some old toys to sell at a tag sale during spring cleaning. Arthur decides he can part with Honey Bear, his one-time favorite stuffed animal until his sister Violet makes him an offer he can't refuse and purchases it from him. A reluctant Arthur braves the deal, and soon regrets it. Lillian Hoban has great integrity as a children's author. Arthur does the right thing -- he doesn't cancel the deal with his sister even though he is clearly troubled by loosing Honey Bear. He reminds Violet that since they are brother and sister, he is Honey Bear's uncle and should have some quality time with his nephew by taking everyone out for an ice cream cone with the money he made from selling Honey Bear. A very sweet story that encourages children to find creative solutions to their troubles.
