This book is essentially a complete users manual on how to apply essential oils in a manner consistent with Ayurvedic healing. From start to finish this book radiates sincerity and hands on knowledge. We immediately believe that the authors are not simply talking the talk but are walking the talk.

The book opens with an introduction to Ayurveda, including the 5 elements, 3 doshas and 6 tastes. The 15 subdoshas are described along with a description of typical symptoms of imbalances and essential oils that balance those doshas. The authors provide a novel analysis of the effects of essential oils using two of the three taste polarities:1) hot-cold and 2)wet-dry. This allows them to classify the essential oils in terms of their effects on the doshas.

The chapters describing the history and manufacture of essential oils are informative and full of interesting anedotes.

Other useful features include: how to apply essential oils with compress, in the bath, inhalation etc.: methods on how to choose essentials oils; a complete list of herbs and their healing attributes; a list of Ayurvedic healing centers; a list of suppliers of essential oils; and references to explore further the concepts and methods presented.

Anyone interested in a practical introduction to Ayurveda, Aromatherapy or both is likely to benefit from a study of this book. (1/10/2000).

This is the ONLY book you will ever need if you like to read about B-Pictures. Don Miller certainly knew alot about this genre of film. I have read this book easily 10 times from cover to cover and it never strays far from my desk. He covers not only the Bs released by the major studios, but also tells about the smaller companies efforts to compete with the "Majors". The interesting thing that I found with this book is that you are more likely to recognize the titles and stars of the B-movies, as you would the A-movies he mentions. The B-pictures, in most instances, were the saviors of the studios, in years where the A-product just wasn't working. Miller recognizes this and seems to delight in telling about "Bs" that did better in the box office than the "As". The forward to the book is written by Miller's friend, Leonard Maltin, who seems to be awestruck by Miller's indepth knowledge on the subject. This is truely one of the best books I have ever owned....and it is out of print too....sorry, I wouldn't sell my copy if ya paid me!...;)

So, could I Please hear about it first form you the reader

This book is a must-have laboratory reference for researchers who want to use insect cell expression systems in their labs. It includes an introduction to baculovirus biology and insect cell culture, descriptions of baculovirus vectors, and laboratory protocols.

This book is my bible. It is perfection itself. It is the most up to date resource of its kind, and of any kind. The author is a god. Please call him Zeus, all of his friends do. I do not know the author, but he is one of the voices in my head. If you read the book backwards, you will find inner peace. Buy it

Written as a college text, it covers the general rules, banking statutes and regulations. The book explains the history of banking in the U.S. It explains how Banks are established, Bank holding companys, securities, electronic and international banking.

Most management personal I have met in the banking industry would be well served by this book. The majority seem to have no idea of the laws, rules, or regulations of the banking business.

This is the book if your looking for a general overviwe of banking

It does not have all the Federal Statutes and Regulations, but has the most commonly used codes. (Adding the text of the Statutes and Regulations would be a worthwhile apendix for the third edition.)

The 2000 supplement is needed with this text, as the rules and laws are developing quickly.

What a great book for little girls (ages 4 - 10)! Filled with everything a young girl wants to know about the month she was born! Also filled with great gift giving ideas for all her friends: just look up the month they were born and read the suggestions! My daughter takes her book everywhere and knows all her friends' birthdays!

This was a really fun book/game. It consist of several games you can play by spinning the wheel on the book. The book reminded me of a "fortune telling" type game for kids. The answer possibilities were very funny! I played this with my daughter and we had a great time spending time together and laughing! One of the spins said my daughter was going to be the first woman president but her car was going to be a garbage truck! She loves to play with her friends and they always have a good laugh! Great book to get the girls reading and fun at the same time!

The Coen brother's films have never failed to astonish and entertain me. From BLOOD SIMPLE to FARGO, they have shown an uncanny knack for vivid characteriziations and photographic style.

But the question is, are the scripts as good by themselves?

Thankfully, the answer is yes. The Coen's scripted prose is dramatically satisfying, and makes one yearn to see the films again, which is the highest compliment I can give them.

BARTON FINK is a bold and unusual piece, centred on a playwright who ends up selling his soul in Hollywood. It may sound like the usual pointless drivel, but the Coen's take a surprisingly dark twist into the bizarre, with insane roommates, creepy bellhops, and drunken authors. It only never fully captures the ominous presence of the hotel Barton stays in. On film, it is the most foreboding motel since Stanley Kubrick's THE SHINING.

MILLER'S CROSSING (my favorite film of ALL time) is a different period piece. It centres on Irish gangsters in the 1930's. But while the plot is an ingenious homage to the gangster film's of Bogart and Cagney, it is the dialogue which makes it shine. Once again, astonishing characterizations rule the day, as the conflicted Tom Regan plays both sides against each other for reasons even he may not understand.

An added bonus is the introduction, written by the Coen's sometime film editor. It is an unusual choice, as he goes to great lengths to describe how much he does NOT like the scripts, or film in general. It serves to heighten interest in their content, and does prove that the Coens are not for everyone. For those of us you cannot wait for their next film, this is a treat.
