Review:The book came in perfect condition and included a student cd for video learning. The content itself is a bit redundant and tends to jump around. This makes learning, the exact process of CPR, like trying to follow a maze. "Dumbing down" the presentation of the processes in the book may be a smart consideration for the American Heart Association. Read more
Review:Thanks for the quick service. I have a program for Native American kids that buys the books to use while taking the class. The books are returned at the end of semester and the next student gets it for free. 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:As usual, Louise Hay breaks down loving your body- and yourself- in these beautiful, simple steps.
It enlightened me to think about the gifts I have in the present that I merely overlook.
I definitely recommend... Read more
Review:Book details described as "New." The book I received seemed fairly new. Dirty back, scratch on front cover, damaged spine. These textbooks are expensive, and I was upset the quality of the book I received was not new. Not happy with what I received but needed the textbook immediately so I kept it. If it wasn't for needing the book for class, I would've returned it. Not happy with my experience. Read more
Review:There is a sad but also compelling reason Plague is such a page turner: it's true. Mikovits and Heckenlively lift the veil so that anyone who cares to look may see for themselves the heartbreaking truth that economic and political interests have hijacked science today. Federal health authorities, major universities and hospitals are all eating at the pharmaceutical trough so it is incumbent on each and everyone of us to inform ourselves using independent science on so much that we have taken for...

Review:Dr Andrew Wakefield, who is the center of this controversy (and is not the author of this book)was recently struck from the UKs Medical Register in May 2010. His research provided most of the so called evidence for vaccines as a cause for autism Why was his research retracted and he punished by the British medical system?: Performing research without IRB approval, performing unnecessary procedures, and four counts of dishonesty and 12 involving the abuse of developmentally-challenged children. ...

Review:An interesting combination of essays or texts, this edition has a relatively brief essay marked by the effect of its date of composition -- 1956 -- with a longer, more complex argument as to the nature of symbols and their revelatory role in uncovering the "collective unconscious," a concept perhaps inherited by Jung from some earlier figures in he history of psychoanalysis, but fully developed in his later thinking.
THe 1956 book is underlined by the collapse of true Soviet empire in Hu... Read more
Review:Joshua Greene has a very interesting academic background - he is both a research psychologist and a philosopher. He uses his expertise in both areas to explain why ethical issues are fundamentally impossible to resolve if we rely only on our moral intuitions.
Greene's Moral Tribes: Emotion, Reason, and the Gap Between Us and Them takes the fascinating ideas from Daniel Kahneman's Read more
Review:I bought this book to gain insight. Instead I found an alchemist trying to discuss chemistry. I should have known from the title. We have/are a brain not a mind. Reading this book is painful. One of his first tasks Pnker undertakes is to criticize behavioral science. He calls it stimulus response. Behavioral science gives six causes for human behavior:
1. Genetic Endowment
2. Pre-natal chemical environment
3. Post-natal chemical environment
4. Classical conditioning(Pavlov)
