Review:GREAT BOOK. This one of the best books about meditation. After 3 years of meditation and couple of silent retreats, this book gave me those "Aha" moments. This book simply answered many questions (even the ones I haven't asked) and solved places where I got stuck. I bought this book in Kindle version, but because I want to reread some parts again, I decided to buy physical copy of this book. Read more
Review:Anybody who is a fan of science and reality should check this book out. Dr. Goldacre encourages alternative medicine to be recognized as medical practitioners just as soon as they produce scientifically reproducible experiments. The book is not a tale told by a snob, but rather a story about how science works and how everything else fails. If you actually want to know how evidence based medicine works, I can recommend no better book. Read more

Review:Back in the '50s artificial intelligence researchers Newell, Shaw, and Simon created a program called the General Problem Solver which succeeded in finding solutions to some hard problems in mathematics, to include a completely original proof to a theorem from Principia Mathematica that had never previously been solved. This led Simon and Newell to predict that by 1985 that machines would be able to perform any task that humans can do.
Simon and Newell were brilliant thinkers, but also were g... Read more
Review:I trust enough has been written about this book's premise by others. I found it well written and compelling if a bit long and repetitive. I would have liked to see this much more condensed, though I understand why the authors would want to add every stick of evidence they could to make their cyclical view of history as convincing as possible. As for its prophecy that the Fourth Turning is coming around soon, the 2016 Presidential election certainly adds strength to the argument. We will know soo... Read more
Review:As a female Saints fanatic and season ticket holder since '72, this book definitely fulfilled my expectations! Drew Brees is a one in a million guy, and I believe it when he says God led him to N.O. We needed a hero, and Drew fulfilled that need, along with many other caring people, in helping to restore 'the city that care forgot'.
The book was inspirational to me. I laughed, smiled, giggled, and cried. It was so well written that I felt I was sitting there with Drew as he told his s... Read more
Review:Amazon truly pleased me with extremely fast shipping. The Jorge Cervantes newest book, like all of his others super informative, great pictures and provides you with almost every answer to every question, you could think of. From beginner, moderate and expert grower, you can learn something New. Highlight or take notes because there is so much useful information in The Encyclopedia, you can't remember it all. Jorge Cervantes Thank You. Read more
Review:This book is down to earth with accessible information. It will made me think and excited me with all the possibilities mushrooms represent. Most of all, it encouraged me to try.
My first batch of Pearl Oysters are fruiting right now on straw and rye, with Shiitaki, and Turkey Tail running through the spawn bags of wood pellets.
I have all the Paul Stamets books, which are beyond wonderful, but this book is something special. The section on at home experiments and extracts is top notch... Read more
Review:I bought this book because of the good reviews. I was disappointed. The writer is engrossed in lengthy sublime grammatical language. It was hard to grasp the mission of the book after the first two chapters.I never read so many referenced metaphors in my life. If you're new at the scientific and spiritual comprehension of plant intelligence and can get through the academic jargon and endure this method of writing - you might comprehend some of it. I couldn't help but wonder if the writer was so ... Read more
Review:There exists sufficient evidence for me to support Kay Redfield Jamison's hypothesis that bipolar disorder is overrepresented in those with the 'artistic temperment'. Additionally, the link almost surely has a genetic component, with overlapping genes conferring a proclivity to the arts as well as susceptibility to depressive illness. Much of this research is surveyed in the Jamison's scholarly third chapter, which reads like a review on the topic (although now fairly dated, published in 1993)... Read more
