Crystals R for Kids (Little Angel Books)
Published in Paperback by Light Technology Publications (June, 1997)
Author: Leia A. Stinnett
Average review score:

Excellent Book
I purchased this for my 7 year old, and he loves it! Explains all about crystals, care and programming in simple child friendly language. The adorable black and white pictures make the flow of this book great. ( My son even colored some of them)

This book fills a need that very few do, focusing on the power of crystals instead of the scientific origins of crystals. I highly recommend this book.

The Cult of Pure Crystal Mountain: Popular Pilgrimage and Visionary Landscape in Southeast Tibet
Published in Hardcover by Oxford Univ Pr on Demand (February, 1999)
Author: Toni Huber
Average review score:

Wonderful and Seminal
Toni Huber has made the study of Tibetan pilgrimage his specialty and with this book he has set a new standard which all other studies will have to live up to. Drawing on historical documents and interviews with people who participated in the pilgrimage earlier in this century, Huber describes in great detail the Rongkhor Chenmo, previously one of the most important pilgrimages in all of Tibet. Unlike many sources on Tibetan pilgrimage, which content themselves with merely describing the official doctrinal explanations for pilgrimage, this book explores more deeply the motivations behind pilgrimage and how it was (and is) understood in Tibetan culture. Anyone interested in Tibetan pilgrimage will find this a fascinating and worthwhile read.

What An Exciting Read!!!
This was one of the best books that I've read. Crystal is a master storyteller. From the moment that I picked up Curse, I was trapped. I started reading this tale of mystery and suspense and did not put it down until I finished! Look out Anne Rice, Crystal is nipping at your heels!

an excellent textbook for defect chemistry of materials
This book is an excellent introduction to defect chemistry of materials. But, as an added bonus, it also comprehensively covers most of the fundamentals in the defect chemistry theory making it an excellent textbook.


The Divining Heart: Dowsing and Spiritual Unfoldment
Published in Paperback by Inner Traditions Intl Ltd (April, 1994)
Authors: Patricia C. Wright and Richard D. Wright
Average review score:

A Second Step For Dowsers
This is not a "how-to" book on dowsing, but more a spiritual guide directed towards dowsers. It may, however, have fairly practical value to many dowsers who are struggling to master this etheric art. This is because beyond the Zen "Beginner's Mind" or colloquial "Beginner's Luck" stage when everything seems to work, comes a more difficult phase when deep struggles emerge between the logical and intuitive facets of the mind.

At this point one must honestly review one's motivations and goals, and decide to "put one's heart into it" or not. Without this honesty, commitment, humility and dedication, I don't think the necessary connections can be established and maintained in one's psyche to be a good dowser. This is because with dowsing it's an all-or-nothing issue - once confronted with the true nature of dowsing, one can no longer claim ignorance to its underlying miraculous nature. At that point one must decide whether to surrender one's ego, or simply give up the game.

There are many ideas presented in this book in a rather friendly and rambling style, like an after-dinner conversation in the living room. But any book that recommends starting the day with the prayer "Allow me to be of service today" shows its true colors.


Edgar Cayce on prophecy
Published in Unknown Binding by ()
Authors: Mary Ellen Carter and Edgar Cayce
Average review score:

I read it and was astounded. It is today and the millinnium
This book is one of the best in the 'Edgar Cayce on' series and should be put back in print, on the bookstands, etc. Much of EC's prophecies will be seen as the millinnium unfolds and Mary Ellen's book 'EC on Prophecy' gave us a preview.


Electron Microscopy of Thin Crystals
Published in Hardcover by Krieger Publishing Company (June, 1977)
Author: Peter B. Hirsch
Average review score:

The classic
This book is old -- written in 1967, revised in 1977. Time has marched on.

That said, this is still a valuable reference. It covers, in great depth, the theory of TEM, with chapters devoted to most subjects.

The chapter and appendix on sample preparation are invaluable!

This book will be somewhat superceeded when Marc de Graef's text is published (probably in Summer 2002 -- I took de Graef's course at Carnegie Mellon Univ., it was great!), but this book will still be an important reference, and an important historical signpost, in the field of TEM.
