Review:Science writing is not an easy job. And that is particularly why this book succeeds at two levels - content & lucidity.

Dr. Ramchandran is a very erudite man. But read this book & you'll find all the esoteric concepts of neuroscience are well within your grasp. Dr. Ramchandran visits & revisits the various parts of the brain & its interconnections in just about every discourse in this book, & by the time you're finished reading it, you'll have a good general idea of ho...

Review:We see and interact with this world the way our
central nervous system allows us to. And this form
may be completely altered or shattered by a neurologic disease.
In "An Anthropologist on Mars", sensitive Oliver
Sacks shows us seven of his patients, with different illnesses, who gained a new world, a new adaptation, provided by alterations on their brain.
More than showing physiopathologic aspects, Sacks'
incredible sense of style and knowledge transmit the world the way TH... Read more

Review:James Herriot's books are my favorite, his sensitivity, his love of nature, his intelligence, his simplicity, all make for a book of a life that you feel that you yourself are living, that his experiences are yours also. I hate when I've reached the end of his books. I want to live them over and over, and keep reading them forever. Read more

Review:Working with Don Mallick for 18 years and following the projects that the pilots of NASA Dryden Flight Research Center made reading this book a must.

Review:Maps of Meaning: The Architecture of Belief by Jordan Peterson is a great prelude to "Saam Medical Meditation's" and "Saam Meditation: The Interpretation of Dreams" - Organ Centered Consciousness. In terms of consciousness what Jordan Peterson and Carl Jung are missing is that consciousness resides in the internal organs. Archetypes are formed and stored in the Spleen which represents the need for children to grow big (through nutrition), to counter the fears and threats that are likely to harm... Read more

Review:The information contained in the "apple" section is alone worth the price of this book. The section is as much a history of westward expansion, homesteading, and early American life as it is about why the apple has flourished in our country. The author develops a wonderful new perspective on the human relationship with the plants of this book. I enjoyed reading it. Read more
