I picked up this book because of the title alone. I was interested in learning yoga, and this book seemed to be a good place to start. Boy, was I wrong. If you are new to the world of yoga and meditation, I do not recommend this book. The first reviewer of this was correct in calling this book "ancient." This writing is from another world. Foot notes on top of foot notes. Definitions of words and phrases cram the pages, sometimes taking up half the page. This book is written more like a text book than a how to book. The author is more interested in presenting his research findings of the work, than helping to explain the text in language we can understand. And you can not read straight through any of the so called instructions given in this book. You get to a certain step, and you are told to turn to another page in the book, which in turn points you toward a footnote, which gives you a definition of a word from the original page. The author was to busy trying to show all the research he did, he forgot to enlighten us as to the conclusions of his work. Check out "Integral Yoga Hatha" for a much more clear and easy to understand way to practice yoga.

Ancient wisdom transmuted through the modern, clear perception of Evans-Wentz and delivered in a highly readable and beautifully designed book.

Cannot go wrong here.

Anyone who is interested in the six yogas of Naropa should read this book. It is skillfully translated from real sources. Some may say that the info is incomplete... but then, there is no single book that provides complete information regarding the practices---which is one of the reasons why looking for a guru who truly in the lineage and received initiations and oral teachings from previous practitioners is essential.

This book is a good look at esoteric Buddhism. One of my favorites.

As a childhood thumb sucker, and now mother of two chronic thumb suckers, I know how hard it can be to break this pesky habit. Desperate for a gentle solution I found Nancy Evans Cooney's tale! This story loving tells of a boy named Donald and his love of his thumb. My four-year old son could easily relate to this young boy's life: his dog, his baby sister, how he was growing up and learning to do things all on his own, and of course his love of his thumb. After reading this story my son began to walk around the house saying, "Conner says, 'Thumbs down!" It certainly hasn't made the thumb sucking stop but it is a getle reminder that when he is ready, Conner like Donald will find many other wonderful things to replace his beloved thumb. I highly recommend this book!

This book does a good job of discussing why groundwater extraction (pump and treat or whatever else you want to call it) is not useful for cleanup of petroleum contaminated sites, rendering it best suited for hydraulic control of plumes.

The author also has a pretty good discussion regarding lifecycle design considerations and the various steps to go through/questions to ask with regard to effluent treatment and equipment sizing.

Some of the technology descriptions appears to be taken from design of remediation systems by suthersan, but both books were published by the same company so i guess that shouldn't really be a surprise. Both books offer different perspectives, so I find them both to be pretty useful, however, I like this one a little more because the author seems to be more of a practical guy whereas suthersan is more theoretical.

I would recommend this book to anyone interested in expanding their knowledge of the design and correct application of remediation technologies.
