I met DJ and Lynda and Abby when I was a young girl. I'm sorry to say that I don't remember them very well, but I do know the stories my grandmother's told me about what good neighbors they were, and how terrible it was for DJ when Lynda died. I bought the book almost as a novelty, because I'd known the family. After reading it, I realive how much I missed, and how much Lynda has missed. It's an important book, not only for anyone who's survived suicide, but for anyone who's ever loved someone beyond reason.

A story about a man's love for his wife, and how even after her death his love continues to transcend time and space.

One day I was up front and I spotted a gentleman who was quietly scanning our hold shelves. When I asked him If I had called him for an order pick up he had replied in almost a sad response, "no". He had been looking for a book and was wondering if we had gotten any in stock yet. I promptly offered to look it up in the computer to order it for him when he said, "That's okay, I wrote the book, I don't want to order it." I told him I'd see about getting some in the store as soon as I could so I proceeded to order some for the store. A couple of days had gone by and I finally received a copy, exited I began to read and to my dismay, realized that this was about his wife's death. How very sad I thought...that must have been what I picked up when I thought he seemed oddly sad when I first spotted him. This book is a tale about a man and his undying love for his wife and how she is still with him even after her departure. It touches alot of points and brings back alot of memories to a time when my own boyfriend's mother commited suicide. It seems almost healing to read... and to relate with him. I found myself reading it on my lunch breaks and in between. In this book Mr.Friederich communicates with such beautiful words... beautiful words for his beautiful memories and life with his beloved Lynda.

NeuroTheology is an excellent, comprehensive, scholarly text which begins at the beginning (the Creation) and ends at the end (Armageddon). Some of the best, most daring minds in the science of religious experience, have chapters included in this book, including Newberg, Persinger, Alper, Albright, d'Aquili, Bruce MacLennan, and Fraser Watts of the University of Cambridge. ... this is otherwise an excellent, comprehensive text which deserves a place on the bookshelf of any serious scientist.

This is a provocative and ground breaking book. NeuroTheology contains 34 chapters written by 20 different experts, including Michael Persinger (who many consider the father of the field), Rhawn Joseph (who Newberg refers to as one of the founders of the field), Dr. Paloutzian (the editor of the International Journal of the Psychology of Religion), Dr. Albright (the former Executive Editor of Zygon the Journal of Science & Religion), and a host of others including those who do not believe in NeuroTheology. The value of this book is that it offers so many different perspectives. It is 644 pages in length, contains over 100 pictures, and addresses and answers many provocative questions regarding the nature, origin, and scientific basis of spirituality and religious belief.

This is a great and wonderful, sometimes disturbing book. It is clearly ahead of its time. The chapters range from discussions of the big bang and the origin of life to the coming of the "anti-Christ" --an astronomical event which, according to the author, has to do with "precession" and the slow progression of the equinox from "house to house" i.e. the Age of Pieces (the Fish) and the Virgo (Virgin) being replaced by the Age of Acqurious and Leo (the Beast). I also enjoyed the chapters by Newberg and Persinger which provide an overview of the neuroanatomy and neurochemistry of religious experience. The chapters by Alper were also very interesting. I guess what I liked best about this book is that it is very scientific yet offers a variety of opinions from a number of different scientists. There are over 30 chapters. The only major flaw in this book, were the rather superficial and boring chapters by "pop" writer Susan Blackmore. Why anyone takes her serious is beyond me. I highly recommend this book. It has something for everybody.

Finally an artistic book on a subject where sex/gay eroticism is the usual! Vera, a woman photographer, shows us her men with art, from head to toes with a lot sensibility. She plays with the shapes and shadows without been vulgar anytime and proves that you can show something artistic without showing it all. One of the best book on the subject for black & white lovers!
