Review:Brain plasticity is a very interesting subject, and Mr. Merzenich is well-versed in it and has been involved with research regarding it for a long time. There is some good information in this book, but it turns out to be mostly an ad for his (not inexpensive) product developed to aid in maintaining brain plasticity. Like many many other products on the market. Read more

Review:I have been following Max for sometime on social media and have been following his advice. Now I have his book and can read more in depth about the research he has collected and put together. The book is not overwhelming to read like some I have read. There are a few recipes at the end that I have already tried and found very tasty. Read more

Review:Incredible book. Great sequel to the greatest treatise on diet and health ever written, Gary Taubes Good Calories Bad Calories. Teicholz picks up the baton and in the same thorough investigative style underscores points Taubes makes and then delves deeper in many other important areas.

However, in our experience over three decades helping individuals and organizations, the biggest lever for change is not in self-belief but a fundamental change in the way one sees and regards one’s connections with and obligations to others.” This is the heart of the book.

The authors compare changing your mindset with changing your behavior, noting, “Countless books on personal improvement... Read more

Review:A lot of lovely pictures! Spectacular! Some even ominous and scary! And the little clouds in some of the pictures are so cute! This book is great for an artist, but unfortunately not for someone who is still in school. Some things could lead a student astray and cause him to learn some things wrong in preparation for an exam.

Here are some things that could use some improvement:

(1). The section on Stratocumulus opens with a photo of scattered tall Cumulus clouds (Cumulus con... Read more

Review:Reads like your favorite spy thriller, but ends like a horror story. I can't imagine the courage it took for Mr. Carroll to gather the hard evidence and compelling interviews that make up this first-rate documentary.

You don't have to be a Lyme disease sufferer (as I am) to be enthralled with this book. It is my dearest wish that it will inspire others to discover the truth about Plum Island and hopefully a cure someday.

Review:Although I have not spent much time in the desert, I feel like I want to after reading Desert Solitaire. If you enjoy reading beautiful descriptions of nature and incredible storytelling, interspersed with thoughtful comments about humankind (and how we have a tendency to mess up nature) this book is for you. I place Abbey's writing with that of Thoreau and Steinbeck - he is that good. Read more
