LANDMARK WORK ON HEALING THERAPIES
Gerber provides a new scientific paradigm that strongly supports what spiritual healers have known for millennia. It explains this knowledge of the energy body in scientific terms that permits us to make a graceful transition from the Newtonian concept of health to the wholeness of the Einsteinian quantum worldview. As such it is a serious investigation of the etheric and a development of an etheric material science to balance the current physical material science. Based on the fact that the body consists of electrical vibrations, Gerber's theories act as a conceptual bridge between allopathic and subtle-energy medicine. It includes an exhaustive treatment of homeopathy, Bach Flower Remedies, acupuncture, crystal healing, electrotherapy, radiology, radionics and psychic healing. Chapters include: The Einsteinian View of Living Systems; X-Rays and the Beginning of Vibrational Medicine; Frequency and Subtle Planes of Matter; Subtle Energy Systems and their Relevance to Ancient Approaches to Healing; Modern Investigations into Psychic Healing; Healing Qualities of Gems and Stones; The Chakras; Holistic Healing and Paradigm Shifts; Recent Developments in Vibrational Medicine, including Healing with Sound, and Electromagnetic Healing Devices. Not only is this book a welcome new approach to modern healthcare, but at the same time a wonderful reference work on energy healing. It concludes with a glossary, recommended reading list, resource guide, list of diagrammes and an index.

Vibrational Medicine--Third Edition
VIBRATIONAL MEDICINE, THIRD EDITION
The # 1 Handbook of Subtle-Energy Therapies
by Richard Gerber, M.D.

Richard Gerber is both a physican and metaphysician, as well as a best-selling author.
Vibrational Medicine, Third Edition combines the best of both worlds and connects
them as a bridge spans two islands...the physical self and the spiritual self.

Dr. Gerber writes, "Medicine is at the threshold of discovering a hidden world of unseen
energies that will help to diagnose and heal illness as well as allow researchers to gain new
insights into the hidden potentials of consciousness". This exploration of energy
(vibration) as it relates to modern medicine...the Newtonian viewpoint and the Einsteinian
viewpoint, combined with Dr. Gerber's keen writing abilities, offer the reader a deeply
esoteric look at the future of medicine.

Further, Vibrational Medicine, Third Edition discusses the efficacy of such ancient
treatments as acupuncture, radionics, healing with crystals, Bach flower remedies, chakras,
meditation and psychic healing. We learn about the relationship between higher vibrational
energies and physical matter to understand the patterns governing the flow of the life-force
through the physical body.

The marriage of homeopathy and modern medicine signals the verge of a major paradigm
shift in the sciences. "Ideally", writes Dr. Gerber, "each therapeutic option offered by the
different schools of thought might be used to complement and augment the effectiveness
of the others, as opposed to relying on any single technique. This integrated model is one
which may eventually be extended towards treating all forms of disease in a
multidisciplinary fashion".

Vibrational Medicine, Third Edition, is a look at the future as it will affect our lives
individually as well as globally. Richard Gerber, M.D. has given us an eye-opener that
redefines diagnostics and healing...and offers solid evidence of the progression of

alternative medicine!

Comprehensive and enlightening
I love this book!!! It is clear, concise, and bursting at the seams with valid information related to energetics and healing. I have hardly been able to put it down since picking it up. Even though I work in the field of vibrational medicine, I believe this book is easily accessible to anyone, and written in a very understandable fashion. This has definitely won the spot of being the favorite in my library.

An Outstanding Examination of the Military in Latin America
Loveman & Davies are pioneers. They establish a trail that is difficult to overlook. I know of no book in the nation that covers so much ground with such a wide array of experts. This is clearly an important book for anyone who wants to understand the Military in Latin America.

Packed with Details on Military and Media Relations
This book is simply outstanding for anybody who has an interest in how the military manages media relations or who wants a different perspective on the Vietnam War. An abridgement of Hammond's two-volume set, this book is still packed with details covering the war from start to finish, providing lessons that remain relevant for today's changing battlefield. As one who is involved in media relations for a living, there's hardly a page in the book that isn't highlighted for future reference. And as one who has read several books on Vietnam, covering everything from tactical operations to strategic objectives, this book put the war in perspective for me as no other book has. However, as I was pouring over every page and sharing what I learned with those around me, one of my colleagues said he had read it as well and found it one of the most laborious books he had ever opened. So perhaps it is not for everybody, but it's a book I will return to again and again as I continue to study the unique relationship forged between the military and the media. And I am also ordering the two-volume set so I can find the even greater detail that was left out of this book.


Doomed at the Start: American Pursuit Pilots in the Philippines, 1941-1942 (Texas a &m University Military History Series, No 24)
Published in Paperback by Texas A&M University Press (1995)
Authors: William H. Bartsch and Herbert Ellia
Amazon base price: $29.95
Average review score:

Poor research
I was very distressed at the implications and conclusions drawn at many places in this book.

Parts of the book are directly contradicted by accounts of participants such as Allison Ind or by Walter D. Edmonds, who conducted interviews thirty years closer to the event.

Unfortunately at certain points, Bartsch denigrates or ignores important sources of information and the reader is unable to tell that he has done this.

I am concerned that students and the public are reading this book and accepting it as absolute truth.

Amazing
This book really touched me and it answered a lot of question running in my mind ever since I was a small boy. The booked mesmerized me so much that I picked up an old P-40B model in my model stacks and started making a replica of Joe Moore's No. 41 P-40B, then later named "P-40 Something". It is my mission to revisit the airfields at Clark, Iba, the Bataan fields, Lahug, and the rest. When I was reading this work of art by Bartsch, I can feel as if I was there to witness it on hand because of my familiarity with the places mentioned.

Mr. Bartsch, if you happen to read this review, I would appreciate if you can get in touch with me in my e-mail. I would like to congratulate you (eventhough through an electronic handshake via e-mail) for making the world aware that there were a bunch of heroes fighting and doing their darn best with only little of what they had for my country during the early days of the war.

Brave pilots fighting at terrible odds.
For those that study the early months of America's entry into WWII, the disaster at Clark field resonates like Pearl Harbor. The story of the fighter pilots based in the Philippines is one of bravery and honor, but against a relentless enemy, their doom was sealed.

Bartsch has written an excellent history covering the not so popular topics of disaster and defeat. However, it is the individual human story that shines through the flames and smoke that choked America in the early days of 1942.

Excellent compilation about the new agricultural extension
This book put together any of the best thinkers in the field of Agricultural Extension nowadays. It gives a broad view of the recent changes in the scientific discipline and the organizations of Extension in different parts of the world. The book deals with new and interesting topics: sustainability, agricultural knowledge and information systems (AKIS), the role of NGOs, the evolution of public organizations, etc. Specially, I recommend to the reader the chapters by William H. Rivera and Frederick Buttel. In my opinion, only a question is missing in this book: The situation of theory and practice in Agricultural Extension in Latin America countries. A chapter on this topic would be necessary to totally shift the content of the book with the word "worldwide" in the title.

the airline before Air America
The CIA's Air America became famous for its feats in Southeast Asia. This is the story of how Air America began, as a private-venture airline in China headed by Claire Chennault of the Flying Tigers. Leary tells the story of how CAT morphed into a para-military force, supporting Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalist troops in their losing battle with the Communists, and eventually retreating with them to Taiwan. There it began to take on odd jobs for the U.S. military, and eventually the CIA bought a piece of it, so that CAT pilots were one day flying supplies to U.S. forces in Korea, again providing the same service for French troops in Vietnam, and between times dropping spies into China. It's a great yarn, though told with professorial precision. A reprint (no changes) of an earlier book from a university press.

Excellent book - insights into 1950-60s military Arctic ops
An intersting account highlighting US military and Soviet Arctic studies, with interludes briefly covering CIA propietary airlines and the development of the Fulton/Skyhook retrieval system. Points out why both countries considered the Arctic important for study for military purposes during the height of the Cold War. Well written, with firsthand accounts from the people involved in a dramatic plan to parachute personnel near a just-evacuated Soviet ice station to reveal its secrets, then recover them with the first operational use of the Fulton recovery system, also known as Skyhook. (Seen in movies such as Thunderball and The Green Berets.)Highly recommended for anyone interested in Arctic studies or covert operations during the Cold War.
