THE BEST...........
IF YOU FEEL TRAPPED AND CONFUSED..........READ THIS BOOK.............I GIVE 10 COPIES OF THIS BOOK AWAY A YEAR.....YOU WILL NEVER SEE THINGS QUITE THE SAME AFTER READING THIS BOOK. FIRE YOUR SHRINK.....NO MORE PROZAC..................R J

DeMello is a master!
Read this book, or any book by Tony De Mello, if you are interested in really waking up. If the shockingly simple wisdom doesn't do it, or the perplexing little unexpected twists don't do it, be assured that you will probably wake yourself up with your own laughter.

I am a big believer that medicine does not have to taste bad to be good, and Awakening is the perfect example of this.

Thom Rutledge
author of Embracing Fear

Amazing
I loved this book. DeMello's insights and the way he writes will be enjoyed and re-read by anyone who has ever asked a spiritual question or wanted to know what 'Awake' really means.

Gateway to Anthony de Mello
I highly recommend this book to those who are not familiar with Anthony de Mello, and to his fans and critics. The editor provides an excellent introduction to help us to have a better understanding and appreciation for de Mello's numerous writings. The selections give us a potential experience of personal awakening or freeing encounter with "God" or the Self of self. I hope there'll be an audio book edition with excerpts of deMello's retreat talks so that his mellow voice and hearty laughter can be captured while we read his writings. (Please cf. my review for Walking on Water for more background.)

a MUST!
De Mello is a spiritual master and is the most insightful of the "self-help" authors that I have read.His books, especially this one, are easy to read and are a source of enlightenment and awakening for life and happiness.This book will help you to reexamine your life and the spirituality of it.A MUST-READ!

Katzung's Pharmacology: Examination and Board Review

Good for USMLE Step 1
The book contains a system review which may facilitate understanding the mechanisms how drugs work. Each group of drugs, say sympathomimetics, takes only several pages, followed by a series of USMLE-type questions. A little bit better than Lippincott's pharmacology board review. I've read both of 'em.

Excellent pharmacology book, but time commitment necessary
This book was extremely useful for me to study for the boards. It is detailed, yet very clear, with good explanations and tables. It emphasizes on drug use, interactions and adverse effects. Each chapter includes a series of 15-20 relevant questions, and you will find at the end a summary of all key drugs in a few words (very useful for a final review just before the exam). The book also includes 2 board-type examinations of 120 questions each.
However, it requires a time commitment of several weeks to be really useful. Therefore, I will strongly recommend it to study during your school classes and then for review, or for international medical students or graduates who,like me, studied pharmacology years ago and need to review everything.

Renaissance Italy
I am not related to Leon Battista Alberti...but I thought I would do a review of this book for the simple reason, I have read it.

An indepth look at both a Renaissance man and his times. The balance of information and readability for the less than committed scholar, gives this biography a wide range of appeal. If you like Italian history, especially of the Renaissance with a bit psychological and social analysis, you'll find it here.

The chapters are divided up into different interests, but you can skip around easily. Overall a very readable approach to a biography that covers quite a bit of academic insight.

A review by a decendant
My surname is Alberti (52 years old), I am a direct decendant of Leon Battista Alberti (1404-72). It was a very personal experience to read Mr. Graftons book. How often in this fast paced world do we forget our roots and our heritage. Since my father is still living there are 4 generations of Alberti's all residing in the United States. I appreciated Mr. Graftons style of brining to life the man behind the ledgend. Thank you Mr. Grafton, you have added much to the completion of the history of my family and ancestory.


Masters of Teras Kasi (Star Wars)

Star Wars Masters Of Teras Kasi is the best!
Star Wars Masters Of Teras Kasi is the only 3d fighting game to own! It has everything you need! Trust me on this one, if you are unsure whether or not to buy this game then, PURCHASE IT! It is the best of the best of 3d fighting games! It is not lame as though Mortal Kombat is because of the so many a year but Masters is one that you'll never get tired of! If you're a true Star Wars Fan, then you need to own this game because if you don't, then you won't know what you are missing!

Star Wars: Masters of Teras Kasi is a Must Have!
This game delivers that distinctive "Star Wars flavor" often missing in most of the other games licensed by Lucasfilm. There's alot of moves and diversity with the gameplay, which is an interesting cross-breed of Tekken and Soul Blade. The visuals are graphically stunning, with fluid animation and fascinating backgrounds taken straight from the films. The sound effects are explosively accurate and the soundtrack is pure John Williams. As an added bonus, the game features some hidden characters which were derived from popular works of Star Wars fiction. Like Mara Jade from Timothy Zahn's novels, and the bounty hunter Jodo Kast! Aside from Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight, make this an addition to your Star Wars collection. Oh, and the guide by Anthony James which delineates all of the various maneuvers and combos can be helpful for new players too!

best tape I've ever heard
This is the most inspirational tape that I've ever heard

Interview with Dr. Wayne Dyer is superb!
As an author, therapist and a college educator I routinely recommend Tony's interview with Wayne Dyer to my students and clients. In fact, I often play that section of the tape for my classes. Wayne Dyer reveals the tremendous work he put into marketing his book YOUR ERRONEOUS ZONES to make it the best selling book of the decade. Nevertheless, it didn't seem like work inasmuch as he was doing what he loved, rather then trying to make money. The tape espouses the myth: Success is merely good luck . . . just ask any failure. If you want to learn to believe in yourself and follow your dream then this interview is for you. I highly recommend the interview to all aspiring authors when I give seminars on "How to Publish Your Book." Very lively and humorous.


Aquinas (Past Masters)
Published in Hardcover by Oxford University Press (20 March, 1979)
Author: Anthony John Patrick Kenny
Amazon base price: $
Average review score:

Very readable
Kenny's text on Aquinas is informative and to the point. If you want more than a shallow introduction to Aquinas' life and thought, this is an excellent place to begin. Like other contributions in the Past Masters series, the text offers a brief biography, articulates the main philosophical concerns, offers some criticism, then reflects on the consequences or influences of the subject under study.
