The Neurophysics of Human Behavior is a must read and resource text for anyone in the profession of personal change artistry. Vital work which was done years previous and had stagnated have been given new life by a whole new approach to the working of the human brain. Read it once and you will have to read it again. It is a text book, treated as such, it provides many an hour of thought provoking ideas and new insights. I gave it a 5 star rating, because there was not a ten star rating. It is a wonderful text that I look forward to using throughout my practice and in working with people. A job well done and I look forward to the follow-up text.

Too many books about human behavior and thought simply aren't worth the time it takes to read them. Most are like celery at dinner, an apetizer with more fiber than taste or nutrition. In contrast, this book is like dining at Maxim's of Paris every Saturday night for a year and only having sumptuous dishes galore. If you are interested to know what memetics, evolution, entropy, chaos theory, biology, neuroscience, psychology, information theory, brain function, thought field theory, state theory, cybernetics, and persuasion have in commmon -- without any psychobabble -- then buy a copy. This book offers the reader a deep, thoughtful, well-documented exploration of numerous subjects as they relate to human behavior. It is a challenging read. You won't be able to read it in one sitting, nor will only one reading be enough to probe the surprising depth of the material. You will however be rewarded with a provocative tour of the fundamenttals of thought and human behavior. I know of no other book that succeeds in tying so many disparate fields of inquiry together. It even provides a way of mapping the nuerocognitive system called NeuroPrint that will help you determine effective interventions with others. Beware: the ramifications of the material are profound and will reverberate through your current beliefs. On a side note, I wish the book were shorter and less expensive. But I am at a loss as to what could be cut that would not damage ther overall presentation. I am grateful the book is so well bound -- my copy is now filled with yellow highlighter and marginal notes, and is and will be referred to regularly. Those issues aside, I strongly recommend that every professor, parent, spouse, therapist, salesman, or individual who interacts with others buy and read a copy as soon as you can. In the future no one will be able to consider themselves knowledgeable in the field of human thought and behavior that has not read and carefully considered the material in this book. It should become a classic.

This is un unavoidable text for every practitioner of energy psychologies, NLP, psychotherapy in general and excellence performance modelers. Its 355 pages are not ligth reading, becuse every paragraph is packed with information, scientific terminology and rigorous logical reasoning. Our team of physicians and RN's have studied (not readed)"Neurophysics" several times, because it speaks our own language.No occult energies or spiritual jargon here, just plain reasoning based in hard facts of natural sciences. Its three sections and nineteen chapters aim at establishing scientific basis to justify the use of a given intervention tool. In my opinion, this is the only way by which established science can start to consider accepting energy psychologies as legitimate intervention tools. Chapter 1 provides a rational discussion of NLP. This discussion continues in other chapters, looking for the scientific basis of modeling, eye movements, metaphors, submodalities and anchoring.This is the most lucid discussion of neurolinguistic interventions that we have found in all NLP bibliography. The rest of Section II establishes the basis and makes a detailed description of the Theory of Pattern-Entropy Interaction. Section II is the most important part of the book, because guides the reader, step by step, in the design and operation of Neuroprint, a very useful clinical tool that graphically models neurocognitive patterns of information and leads the clinician to use the most appropriate tool for the patient. The authors don't limit their writing to theraputic applications but use 5 chapters to describe Human Performance Modeling and Engineering. A glossary of scientific terminology and more than 500 references (textbooks and scientific references)completes the book Furman, a neuroscientist and NLP Practitioner is the author of 18 scientific papers, and Gallo, a Ph.D. psychologist, founder of EDxTM is the author of several seminal books on energy psychology.

We look ahead to future books by these authors.

I used to think Fred Gleeck was a smart guy. Then I read this book. When I saw all the secrets Fred gives away for under (...), I thought, 'maybe Fred ain't so smart after all'.

In Publishing for Maximum Profit, Fred lets you in on everything he knows about making money as an author. This is the info he charges hundreds of dollars an hour for as a consultant.

This neatly packed, fast paced thriller is a real page turner that should distract the reader from the reality of current terrifying events. It would make an exciting movie.
Two young, surburban couples are long time friends. One pair is ordinary, naive with wholesome values--what one expects from "everyday people" The other couple conceals a sociopathic nature until a shared routine happy hour at a local bar leads to attempted blackmail, theft, mayhem and murder, drawing the ordinary couple into a chilling ordeal sure to keep the reader in suspense.

In their latest suspense-filled yarn, "Just Your Everyday People", the Yagers have gone beyond the crime novel genre to create a work with a literary theme that should challenge any modern reader. That theme is fidelity and how the lack thereof can undermine the stability of the best of marriages or the fondest of friendships. Which is not to say that the book isn't a good read. It's real page-turner too!

Husband and wife writing team Fred and Jan Yager follow up their first suspense novel, Untimely Death With Just Your Everyday People. With Fred's background as a television executive and screenwriter, plus his degree in psychology and Jan's doctorate in Sociology, they pack enough knowledge to write a gritty teeth clenching story. Fred was also a war correspondent in Viet Nam and considerable experience as a news writer for CBS News and Fox Television. Jan has more than a dozen nonfiction books to her credit, has taught criminology at Temple University and The New School

Just Your Everyday People begins as two couples look forward to a night out drinking after the long work week ends. But what begins as a classic night out in our society soon dissolves into murder, deception, and poor choices. Julia and Paul Stanton meet their friends Lizzie and John in a bar. But when Lizzie seduces a stranger in a bizarre scheme for quick cash, their lives quickly unravel:

"He remembered floating to shore and pulling his bleeding body on to a rocky bank where he lay exhausted, falling in and out of consciousness. But where was all the rest? What else had happened? His memory was like a black hole, an endless void. The sound of a car approaching had awakened him again and he managed to crawl into the prickly bush just as the headlights flooded the bank of the reservoir."

Written tongue-in-cheek, Just Your Everyday People is the sad story of what lurks beneath apparently ordinary people's exteriors. It is also about how easily people make completely bad choices, which can escalate into tragic and terrible situations. From this vantage point, the book is completely successful. It makes the reader cringe more and more as each chapter pulls the characters further into a mire of murder and mayhem. The cover promises the reader a new appreciation of the dark side of people's psyches after reading this tale, and it delivers. The Yagers know how to entrap the reader, as well as the characters in their tales. An entertaining and eerie read, Just Your Everyday People is also well crafted storytelling.

This is a wonderful, heart-wrenching short book, a fictionalization of the migration of a lone Eskimo Curlew from the arctic to South America and back.

The Eskimo Curlew was once a plentiful shorebird that was highly sought after by hunters because of the succulence of its flesh and the ease with which it could be taken. Usually flying in dense swarms, a score or more birds could be brought down by a single shotgun blast. In some cases so many were killed, that the hunters left those that could not be transported to market in massive piles. And so it came to pass that by the late 19th-century, the Eskimo Curlew population declined rapidly, to the point where it was virtually extinct at the time Bodsworth wrote the book.

Although a work of fiction, this is a book that should be read by everyone who has an interest in Nature and the environment.

Bodsworth is brilliant in his capacity to provide the reader with an emotionally arrousing text, supported by fascinating technical details of bird migration. I cannot imagine that anyone having even a remote interest in birds, nature or life, would not be moved by this great piece.

I doubt anyone will ever see this review, but I thought I'd submit one anyway. Never have I experienced a book that so forced me to put it down every few pages, from its overwhelming sadness and beauty. Merwin, who championed this rare gem, once wrote: "If I were not human, I would have nothing to be ashamed of." Truly, this is the kind of reading experience that cuts to the core of our species' tragic history.

After reading Anne Frank the Last Seven Months, I relized how difficult it was for the jews and for any person during this time. I like this book a lot and I recommond reading it if possible. This book makes you feel like you new exactly how that person was feeling. It put you inside the stories the people told. It was a sad story to read because of all the people that died of other peoples differences. That the samething happen to every person that was a 'jew" that the story didn't change. People were hiding out of years before they were sent off to a death camp. They lived in fear of the next day hoping that the Green Police weren't find them. Once they were found they didn't know if they would live to see there family again. The Nazis killed so many people and so many people got disease and got sick. Everyday more love ones were dying and if you were lucky you could be with them as they die as for some was sent to different death camps, you had no idea if you wife, husband, son, daughter, or best friend since were in third grade had died.

This is one of the best books I have ever read. A must read for all ages. These ladies are some of the most courageous people in the world. They perserved knowing that their demise could be any day. But living was too important to them so they dug deep within themselves to keep their spirit alive and they succeeded. Hooray for them!!! Miep Gies is also a very courageous person. She is right up there with these ladies. "Anne Frank Remembered" by Miep Gies and Alison Leslie Gold is also a wonderful book. If you are looking for excellent reading and a time frame for the life of Anne Frank, then by all means read this book. I don't know if I could handle the pressures that these ladies went through to live, and I hope that I never have to endure their suffering, but if I do, I will take these 7 women with me and draw on their strengths and spirit to keep me alive.

I read Anne Frank's diary again during my first trip to Amsterdam recently to prepare myself to a visit to the Secret Annex. But the book (and the corny Hollywood adaptation) left me wondering what happened to her after the diary. This book about her last seven months at the concentration camps gives a clear picture of what Anne's life was like through the accounts of the women who encountered her there. I could not put this book down and would sleep at 4 in the morning, read it in bed, in the bathroom, in the car, sometimes it would leave me crying. I am not Jewish and I am only in my 30s but this book touched me a lot (just like Schindler's List) and left me wanting to know more.

Making It Safe to Love is a valuable book for anyone who wants to improve his or her relationships and achieve true intimacy. It shows you how to address the emotions behind a communication so that the real issues and concerns are acknowledged. This creates a safe space for people to connect, and the result is more love and intimacy. The book is fun reading, gives lots of examples, and provides easy-to-understand exercises so you can really implement the tools. As a consultant these communication skills have helped create a strong and successful practice. As a mother of a teenage daughter, I can say these techniques are extremely effective in fully understanding each other. Bottom line, this stuff really works!

Fred and Heidi have drawn from their life's experiences to create a guidebook for achieving the most of your relationships - with your family, friends, business associates, partner, and most of all yourself. They have taking things that cause us all to stumble, and written about how to deal with them in a way that makes so much sense. The lights kept going off, the more I read! I recommend this book to anyone looking for a better life!

I have read this book and love it! The tools have assisted me in creating a harmonious, evolutionary relationship. The innovative techniques are unique and valuable. I especially liked the chapter on Mirroring. I recommend you read it and do the exercises. You will be changed and empowered.

Apparently, some magical force is invading Greyhawk, a fine medieval city. It kills some of the famous and dignified seers of Greyhawk. The murders aren't random and it seems that the magicians who cast the murders don't want the seers to tell the future - some kind of scheme is being plotted. Garett Starlen, head of the Nightwatch of Greyhawk is troubled by the murders and plans to investigate the happening together with his comrades. A sense of helplessness prevails in Greyhawk and Garett is the only one who can save it from being.......

The book is very fun to read and altough it's fiction, it's classic fiction (dragons,wizards,magic). Until the end it keeps you wondering what is the force who bothers Greyhawk. The book is written in a rich language and gives you the feeling you're actually in that era. The only thing that made me give this book 4 stars is that i expected a more sophisticated or rather longer ending. GREAT BOOK - READ IT !!!

TSR obviously did not know how a good stuff when they see one. Some of its best books were published in innocuous covers with hardly any marketting support while it pulled out all stops for a number of its worst written drivels.

Night Watch, written by Robin Wayne Bailey (Thieves World), was published in 1990, just as TSR was experiencing a lot of difficulties (which they oft do but that's another topic). Gary Gygax, founder and anchor writer for the Greyhawk series, had left and the company turned to other writers to carry on the Greyhawk series, the results which was so bad that it cancelled the series before Night Watch was printed. As a result, Night Watch was published without the customary Greyhawk logo.

Despite not being a role-playing gamer, the author took painstaking efforts to study the Greyhawk setting for his first and only (to date) Greyhawk novel. The results produced should put to shame the works of many other TSR authors who began with greater familiarity, both past and present.

Instead of trying to ride on the formula of previous Greyhawk writers, Bailey created his own - a detective thriller in a fantasy setting. The novel was placed in an undefined time in Greyhawk, and without contradicting any canon, could be fitted almost anywhere in the Greyhawk timeline except the major wars.

Rather than revisiting the same scenes mentioned in the earlier Greyhawk book (Saga of the Old City), Bailey made his main character, Garett Starlen, captain of Greyhawk's Night Watch. He gave a brief glimpse to Garett's past, just enough to present him as an honest man, educated and competent in his duties without unjustified idealism, and was good enough to inspire loyalty from other competent subordinates - Blossom, a seven footer amazonian, Burge, a half-elf who hated his faerie ancestry, and Rudi, a short fighter sensitive to his height (or lack of).

Greyhawk, in an ordinary day, was bad enough. The poor had a hard life, regardless whether they had an honest job. The rich, protected by the privilige of wealth, spent their hours protecting their wealth. The district for temples were lined with religious institutions of varying, even opposing, dispositions. The city was governed by the Directorate, composed of various factions of power, including leaders of the Thieves Guild and Assassins Guild. All were aware that orderliness, with a smattering of chaos, was in their best interests and hence the Watch was not merely an instrument of the elite.

Magic was very much part of life in Greyhawk, and the story opened with the successive murders of the city's fabled seers by their own instruments, all within one night despite being quartered in different parts of the cities. It fell to the captain of the Night Watch, Garett, to investigate those murders, which were certainly caused by magic. While the Watch could normally seek help from the Wizards' Guild, there was no response at the Wizards's Tower, and no sane person would intrude a wizard's lair, much less the Tower of the Wizards's Guild.

Further disturbances in the form of unusual flocking of black birds, inexplicable departure of the city by elves, warned Garett that an approaching danger, which was why the seers had been killed. Garett could get no help from the Directorate, whose members were more keen in protecting or promoting their own interests than the city's. It would take an intercession from one of Oerth's legendary Circle of Eight to provide Garett with the clue to the threat and the instrument to overcome it.

Readers familiar with Dungeons and Dragons or Greyhawk settings might be put off by the portrayal of magic in this book. Instead of the usual spells like wands of fireball, the investigating characters were virtually bereft of magic. Instead of an adventuring group mixture of paladins, clerics and magic users, they were all fighters belonging to the Night Watch. And when contact with the Wizards' Guild was lost, there was no other magic-user in the city of Greyhawk they could turn to, a phenomena any Greyhawk fan would vow as impossible.

But as someone who appreciates the essence of fantasy more than game-mechanics or statistics from RPG supplements, I really like what the author had done.

The clues were well laid, but it took the main character to act upon his gut instinct and against incompetent superiors to get anywhere. Critics who say this is another Thieves' World novel in Greyhawk guise are probably right, but it should not mar the enjoyment of the novel. I need only to point to the Knights of Crown series by Roland Green, set in Dragonlance setting, as another example of enjoyable fantasy novels borrowing an established setting but lacked the distinctive "essence" of the setting. Even the recently published novel Keep on the Borderlands which was based on a well-known Greyhawk classic had hardly any Greyhawk-ness in it.

Having said that though, while I regret there is no sequel to Night Watch or Garett Starlen, to date, any further work should include more of Greyhawk-ness.

I read this book 8 years ago and I enjoyed it a lot! The action takes place in the City of Greyhawk, but not the City of Greyhawk you're used to. It takes place in the future, a future where the mayor Nerof Gasgall and the Circle of the Eight had misteriously disapeared. The captain of the City Night Watch must investigate several murders to prevent a civil war between the city's temples. Great book!

Chef Of Iron is the eighth graphic novel of the No Need For Tenchi series based around the first Techi anime series. It contains seven chapters telling five stories. In chapter one, Tenchi starts behaving oddly, so Washu starts spying on him. In chapters two and three, a laboratory mishap leaves Ryoko without her powers. In chapters four and five, Sasami competes in Iron Chef style show. In chapter six, we get a few thoughts about the world of Tenchi through yosho's eyes. And in chapter seven, Yume returns for a trip to the hot springs. This is a must read for any Tenchi fan and actually deserves five stars, but I took one away because the cover shows characters who don't appear in this book

This has got to be my all-time favorite manga. This book has seven stories, some of them continuing the one before it. Each story has a good plot, and the artwork is so cute ^_^! Don't buy this just because Fuahno and Misaki are on the cover, though. They don't appear in the Manga at all. This book is one that you can read 500 times and you're not sick of it. I had a horrible cold last year (I could barely move) and I read the Sasami story at least 35 times before I could stand up again. If you think you know Tenchi Muyo, and You don't own this, you're wrong.

Oddly enough, I bought this as my FIRST manga in the series. I've seen every episode of every Tenchi series, and even two out of three movies, and this book is so good!! It's a book of 7 various stories. All seven stories are worthy of the name Tenchi Muyo, and all are very cute! Being a RyokoXTenchi fan, I loved 'Powerless', and also Washu-Chan being my favorite character, I also enjoyed 'Washu the Sleuth', and 'Petty Annoyances'. Yume has got to be a new favorite, and the only thing that got to me, was Neither Funaho, nor Misaki were in the book, *pouts and points to cover* But over all, this is now one of my favorite books. Also, you will see a familiar face in 'The Ferrous Chef', *smiles*

If you are a Tenchi fan, you will love this manga! It also portrays the characters perfectly! I found page 16 particularly funny, *snickers*...

Thank you, Chris de Vinck, for sharing your journey of love with Oliver. Your book has been an inspiration and guideline since 1984 in our choice to care for and nurture our own litle Oliver, Gregory David. Although he died recently, it gave us courage and strength to know that someone else has been where we have. He gave us a vision of life that transcends the life we knew before his birth. It's all about love. It's ALL about love. You will always remain in our prayers for writing this little portrait of the gift of knowing someonewho has nothing to give but love.

If you have ever wondered why God allows people to be born with handicaps of any type, read this book. Oliver was born blind, mute, physically and mentally handicapped, yet his life had a greater impact on more people than many of us who are "normal" can ever hope to have. This book reminds us of the value of life and is very inspiring. I found it most touching that Ronald Reagan wrote to Mr. DeVinck about the power of his powerless brother and now former President Reagan is also one of the powerless due to Alzheimer's. I would highly recommend that you read this book. I also recommend Harold Kushner's "When Bad Things Happen to Good People."

I want to let anyone know that is interested in this book to buy it. I first read this book about 8 years ago, and have made a point to read it at least once a year. It has a way of reminding me what is important in life, and what is real. Read this book and you will never be the same! I have given my copy to anyone that will read it, it is good for young teens and up!
