I've been an herb enthusiast for 15 years. With my personal home library of herb books reaching over 90 volumes, I've read many approaches to this topic. This particular book is large, full of quality color photos, and contains useful information for Texas herb growers (what I used to be). Latin names of herbs are given (along with proper pronunciation). Mr. Garrett includes pertinent information on planting, height and spread of plants, problems, harvest and storage, and culinary, medicinal, and landscape uses. One of my favorite portions of this book is the "insight" paragraph of each herb's profile. Did you know that there is evidence that alfalfa may trigger lupus in sensitive individuals? Also, did you know that although you can use angelica in salads, the juice of the plant should never come in contact with the eyes? I'd recommend this book for those new to herb growing or as an addition to an already diverse herb library. Mr. Garrett includes information that makes this book worth owning. My paperback copy has been a valuable resource.

Howard has written a book that is "beyond" the world of self-knowledge and understanding. Her words reach inside the reader and brings them into a world of understanding the hows and whys of their life.

Her writing style is simplistic with poetry and understanding. After the first chapter the reader is enthralled by the deep soul of the writer and the understanding she has about life pertaining to oneself.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a way to understand more about themselves and society. But I would also recommend it to anyone who loves the knowledge of understanding one's soul.

This book was wonderful. It was beautifully written and the characters were so real I could feel all their joys and sorrows right along with them. I'm anxious to read more by Ms. White.

Two disks. One dedicated to telling Emma Goldman's life story, the other to the case of Sacco & Vanzetti. It's impossible to do justice to either in the space of a single, spoken-word CD, but Howard Zinn tells us enough to make it worthwhile.

These are the stories they didn't tell you in American History classes. The abuse of political activists has a long history in this country, and Zinn drives home two instances of it. If you've already read Living my Life and Prison Memoirs of an Anarchist, the Emma Goldman disk will give you little new information, but it's still fun to listen to. I hadn't read much about Sacco & Vanzetti before, but I found way too many parallels between their case and political prisoners like Mumia abu Jamal and Leonard Peltier.

Zinn is not the most dynamic speaker, but these two lectures won't put you to sleep. Well worth the time & money. I'm going to tape them so I can listen when the freeway gets clogged up.

I picked up this book years ago and it is without doubt one of my perennial favorites. The linguistic stylings of Howard are dead on in his depiction of the larger than life Hero Breckinridge Elkins Hero of Bear Creek. The mayhem and violence with which the book is inundated is portrayed in such a fall down and laugh till your sides ache manner that I am left saddened that the supply of works like this is terribly finite, knowing that Howard died at such a tragically young age. Breck Elkins is as an immortal a character as Conan, just as big and dangerous and volcanic but in his case hilarious and not dark and brooding. If you can find this book, buy it at any price, I personally guarantee that no money can replace the laughs and tall tales in this book!

I have not finished this book, but I have about 3 hours invested in it. It's message had an impact in my state of mind that gave me a sense of optimism as to what is possible if we can learn to treat our bodies and our mind as a resource we have learned to keep under tight control. The message really gets down to why are we not creative, and if you can learn this, you can understand how the exercises he gives can lead to higher levels of creativity, not just when you want to be more creative, but throughout the day.

The word Unconscious is key to this book. As such, one see's this book written close to two decades ago, has no reviews, and sells used for half the cost of shipping. The author Harman has written other powerful books with major heavyweight authors who admire him (e.g. Margret Wheatley). The reality is, people do not take serious their ability to have any impact on their Unconsious thoughts, or that if they could, why bother.

I bought this book years ago, and it did not stick. After reading the book Power of Now, this book has found its mark with me. This is a book that fundamentally is about how to create a mindset that will enable you to not only accomplish more, but become fulfilled with a sense of your own potential.

I would not buy this book if you are skeptical about one's own Unconsiousness, that exploring that area is too illusive to try.

The content about Rene Descartes alone is worth the reading. He uses his story to tell us what we can do today. It is in Chapter 3 "Looking Where the Light Is" subsection "The Man Who Dreamed Up Science". I had no idea how Rene had accomplished what he did, but this book tells the reader the man knew. Yet those who write of Rene tell us the Rene was overtired when he used these so-called methods, and they were not real. "The Taboo Against Inner Knowing" explains why no one pays atttention to these approaches today. I guess that is why no one will likely ever read this review - and people will be able to buy to book used for less that a dollar.

This is perhaps the sine qua non of trail guides. You will be able to explore the Big South Fork with comfort and ease using Deavers book. If you want day hikes or more challenging distance hikes, this book will help you make your plans. Trail sections are thouroughly explained. Interesting information about the geology and cultural history abound.

nice and substantial! it really does give a brief history of my country.

I attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology from September 1964 through June 1972; I worked at the MIT Lincoln Laboratories in the summers of 1968 and 1970. I was given this book by the MIT Alumni Association, and found it to be remarkable in its truthful rendition of events that I lived through, and things that came afterwards (going to the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston in the 1990s), and seeing that Howard Johnson guided MIT through the late 1960s and beyond and the Museum of Fine Arts into a rebirth, and made it all look so easy. I look forward to the video that should accompany this!
