In book two of the Timeshift Trilogy Jackson takes us on a wild romp as an experiment in time travel goes wrong. History is changed, civil war soldiers run wild in a post-apocalyptic future, and war is about to break loose on several fronts. Great fun and a great read. I definitely recommend it.

Phillip Ellis Jackson has an amazing talent for building suspense which holds the reader captive from cover-to-cover with his, "Between Two Worlds (The Timeshift Trilogy, Part 2). I had a lot of fun reading the first in this series and even more fun reading the second installment. I can hardly wait for the third! (Brava, Mr. Jackson on a job well-done!)

(Highly Recommended Series!)

"Between Two Worlds" part II of Phillip Ellis Jackson's TIMESHIFT TRILOGY is a continuation of the thriller plot of book I. Jackson's talent for penning realistic action-packed drama and authentic toned dialogue will keep readers engrossed with the often mind boggling narrative. The concept of time travel and its ability to change history while erasing memory draws you into the midst of Jackson's plot and keeps you riveted to the story. Book II ends with enough questions to ensure reading the last in the series.
Jackson's TIMESHIFT TRILOGY will captivate Science Fiction fans as well as readers seeking an attention-grabbing narrative.

I bought this book after reading the author's previous "Search for the Giant Squid". Giant Squid was very good. This book however,is a double edge sword, it has great illustrations and the topics look interesting, BUT many facts are wrong!

Examples: page 2, states that the Dinosaurs "disappeared hundreds of millions of years ago" (65 million years would have been correct.) Page 117 identifies the Mississippian Age Bear Gulch Formation as Devonian Age. Page 51 and 52 and 53 list Horseshoe crabs as dating from 200 million years ago but there are well known horseshoe crabs as old as 370 million years old!
Page 53 also lists Aglaspids as being horseshoe crabs when they are not considered to be.

I teach, and the accuracy of material is important. I don't want to present ideas to my students if they aren't right. The book is interesting, but the errors I see at a quick skim make me pause.

Aquagenesis: The Origin and Evolution of Life in the Sea Written by Richard Ellis is quite simply a very fascinating book. A book that covers life in the sea from small little creatures too a shark that can swallow a horse whole.

Aquagenesis is a book that traces the phylogenic origins of aquatic life further and further back of not only the ancestors of the living whales, seals, manatees, sea turtles, sea snakes and penguins that were terrestrial, and their living descendants all returned to the sea, to one degree or another. But, this book is not without opinion and it plays a considerable role, mainly because interpretation is so much a part of this book, opinions of others are relied on via their published works or directly. But, this isn't a book so much about whales, seals and manatees as it is a book about the beginning of life in the sea.

What I found interesting in the book is how the author explains how life and a phenomenon known as sea-floor spreading where cracks or rifts are created in the crust of the Earth are connected. Plate tectonics causes these rifts and minerals spew into the water in clouds known as "Black smokers" that eventually dissolve and disperse into a water columns and life is found where you would think none could exist.

Also, the author takes a look at some of Stephen Jay Gould's work from "Wonderful Life" about the Cambrian Shale deposits known as the Burgess Shale. A review of the fossil biota brings the differences in interpretation and conclusions, but the major battle lines have been drawn. I must say that this book takes the reader on a ride of mystery from the first microbes to jawless and finless creatures to a possible aquatic ape that could be mans ancestor.

Some of the creatures we read about in the book are quite bizzar and the author has supplied detailed drawings that bring these animals to life. Sharks with teeth on their backs and others had teeth as large as your hand, all making for wonderful reading. I liked the author's narrative style in this book as it was straight forward and easily readable. The subject matter of the aquatic ape is covered toward the end of the book and is quite interesting.

Aquagenesis is a book about life in the past, but also how that life shape life today making for some compelling fascinating reding.

More lucid science writing from Ellis (Imaging Atlantis, 1998, etc.), who this time cuts a broad swath through the history of marine animals. "This book is about animals whose ancestors came out of the sea and whose descendants returned to it," writes the author. That and a whole lot more, for while almost every aspect of paleontology is rife with ambiguous, speculative, and contentious theories-and Ellis gives many of them sufficient air time in these pages, such as changes in genetic structure to lines of descent-there is no contesting the complexity of the fossil record. And the glory of species complexity is on full display here. From the earliest creatures of the vents, the breeding grounds created by the spreading of the seafloor and strong candidates for the deep-ocean location of the origins of life, to Elaine Morgan's evidence pointing toward an (at least semi-) aquatic ancestor of humans-and she isn't talking about jawless fish, but rather an aquatic ape-Ellis covers an incredible land- and waterscape. There's a rogue's gallery of toothy, spiny creatures (sharks with teeth all over their heads, others big enough and happy to eat a horse) and an equally long list of sideshow marvels, including the wonderful hagfish, which "can emit gallons of nauseating, toxic slime." The theories tendered for the evolution of these creatures are often as fabulous as the creatures themselves: Certainly the descent of whales from giant wolves falls into that category, but less sensational are the beard-pulling contests between academics, such as the Gould/Conway Morris feud. Then there are all the questions that remain unanswered, far more than those with answers, beginning with: How did it all start? Ellis samples from all these topics with the enthusiasm of a child let loose in a candy shop. As entertaining as a three-ring circus, and as scholarly as any intellectually curious lay reader would wish for.

I am an avid fan of the Cadfael series and I enjoyed this book very much. The ending is terrific, though some people may not agree with me. Am deducting one star because of the character of Millicent Prescote. She is extremely disloyal and changeable. I truly wondered at the end if her marriage will be a happy one.

Ellis Peters is in a class by herself. Before her death at the age of 82 in 1995, she wrote a series of 20 mysteries set in England and Wales during the 12th Century. (She also wrote many other books under her real name, Edith Pargeter.) In the Cadfael mysteries, her "detective" is a former Crusader who has decided to spend his last years as a monk in a monastery in Shrewsbury. I have found the Brother Cadfael in the books to be far more interesting than the Brother Cadfael of the television series. Many of the books in the Cadfael series are as much (or more) historical romances as they are mysteries. Don't start any book in this series unless you enjoy a strong dose of romance and medieval English history mixed with mystery. The Cadfael series (like most good series) is more enjoyable if the books are read in sequence. Dead Man's Ransom is the ninth book in the series.

In Dead Man's Ransom, Brother Cadfael is called upon to solve the murder of the Sheriff of Shropshire, Gilbert Prescote. Suspicion falls on a Welsh captive and on others who have a grudge against the stern sheriff. Cadfael's investigation is hampered by Welsh raids along the border and by continued strife within England.

In the tenth installment of the ever-so-popular Brother Cadfael series, author Ellis Peters proves a winner once again with "Dead Man's Ransom."

Set in the year 1141, civil war runs amok in Britain between King Stephen and the Empress Maud, and it appears that the end of the twelve year old struggle is in sight. The war has taken its toll in many areas, as civil wars do, and the people are quite weary of it all. Maud's forces, however, now have captured the king himself. The sheriff of Shropshire, too, has been taken captive. This means, in those days, that in all likelihood an exchange of prisoners will take place.

Alas, one of the captives is now dead and it is our Brother Cadfael who senses that, indeed, it is murder, and, just as naturally as Peters would have it, it is he who is given the responsibility to solve the case and to try to bring about the release of the king.

Brother Cadfael is the former crusader now a Benedictine monk, who specializes in herbal medicines, solving murders, and compassion. Peters (Edith Pargeter) has developed her Cadfael through this series of medieval whodunits into a man of the cloth easily admired and respected. He is a man of firm, and devout, principles; a man who seems to carry the weight of the shire on his own Welch-born shoulders!

Peters has made grand the area of Shropshire, and especially the town of Shrewsbury there on the Welch borders. She has also created an exciting family of literary characters to complement Cadfael: Hugh Beringar (deputy sheriff of the shire and Cadfael's closest friend) and his wife Aline, Abbot Radulfus (the venerable patriarch of the abbey, and other members of the abbey. It is not essential that this series be read from the start (with "A Morbid Taste for Bones"), as this book could easily be read first and it would still hold up as a book on its own; however, readers generally will want to read them in order, as the presentation of character, of historical events, of character-interaction does show development in the series' genealogy. Peters died a few years ago and apparently there are no more Cadfael episodes aside from the twenty or so published, but each of the books extant bring the reader a treasure of reading adventures.

It has been years since I have read one of Ellis Peters' Brother Cadfael mysteries. I had forgotten what a really good writer she was.

I found "The Devil's Novice" an entertaining companion for snowy winter days when I'm at home. The plot is excellent--I was indeed as interested in why the priest was murdered as by whom.

Peters' blending of historical events into her story and her descriptions of the 12th century English countryside are excellent as well.

The love story is rather saccharine however, and more people recover from their injuries than might have been the case in medieval England.

Still, this is a novel and a most enjoyable one. Ellis Peters had a great hero in Brother Cadfael and a marvelous command of the English language. Long may her books live.

The big mystery throughout this eighth of Ellis Peters' Chronicles of Brother Cadfael is not really who, in the depths of the Salop countryside one day in the late summer of the year of Our Lord 1140, committed murder most foul upon the person of Peter Clemence, cleric to Bishop Henry of Bois - but why! And also just what the connection might be between the unfortunate demise of a harmless cleric - seemingly not even relieved of his valuables - and the latest candidate to be accepted into the noviciate of Shrewsbury's abbey of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, the nineteen-year-old, Meriet Aspley. For it is obvious, from the very opening of this book, to both reader and Brother Cadfael alike, that there is some dark secret haunting the latest entrant to the abbey. There is also little doubt that the sad fate of Peter Clemence has some bearing upon it. Equally obvious is that the mediaeval sleuth will need to have not only his wits but also all of his tact about him too, if he is to winkle out the truth behind matters here, both of the circumstances of the cleric's death and of young Meriet Aspley's sudden-found yearning for life within the cloister.

In her usual manner, Ellis Peters drip-feeds her hero and her readers alike with tantalising but measured trickles of information, permitting both to proceed but piecemeal (and at about the same pace as each other) towards the final revelation and the story's sudden resolution. Along the way, we are treated to the author's characteristically over-glamorised view of Mediaeval English life, with her entirely comforting (and rather touching) view of the honest goodness of the (Saxon) poor, as well as the essentially corrupt nature of those who would aspire to power (usually those overbearing Normans, of course).

In common with others of this series, this book presents a mix of romance and murder mystery, all set against a back-drop of political intrigue. In essence, then, we have here another classic from the Cadfael mould - an engaging read that taxes neither imagination nor credulity over much and which provides some fascinating glimpses of how things might have been in twelfth century Salop. It can be recommended to both established Cadfael fans and newcomers alike.

Brother Cadfael befriends a troubled novitiate and gets involved in a very confusing murder. Along the way he is more amused than he should be with Brother Jerome's ill treatment at the hands of the Devil's Novice. This book was as enjoyable as they come. Great characters and a very good mystery.

This makes an interesting reference book on medicinal recipes. I just don't like the way it is organized. You have to thumb through the whole book to get a feel for what ailments it addresses and I found the list somewhat wanting. Other than that, it makes an interesting compendium of Chinese remedies although I think I'll pass on the fried and ground earthworms!

Who ever thought food could taste so good and be healthy! In additional to finding recipes that are low in fat and cholesterol (not to mention quite tasty), the reader will gain insight into how nutrition is viewed in the context of Chinese medicine and Taoist health theory. Highly Recommended for anyone interested in Chinese health and healing!

The Healing Cuisine of China by Zhuo Zhao and George Ellis is an excellent book! It is not a typical health food book. The book not only teaches you how to prepare healthy food; it teaches you how to prepare healthy food that tastes good! Also, there are many tidbits about Chinese culture and medicine in this book. So, you learn as you cook! Truly, this book has something for everyone, whether you are a fitness fanatic or simply one who likes good food.

Ellis Peters creates a realistic atmosphere of medieval England, circa 1144 AD. What makes this otherwise run of the mill murder mystery with paper thin characterizations worthwhile is Ms. Peters' juxtaposition of religion and civil law to solve the crimes. The story involves the theft of the remains of the Welsh Saint Winifred during a flood and the seemingly related subsequent murder of young Brother Anselm. Law officer Hugh Beringar is very careful not to tread on the religious customs and priorities involved in "the holy theft" of this beloved saint. Hugh leaves it to the brotherhood to mete out the punishment for this type of felony. Otherwise, Brother Cadfael and the other denizens of the abbey at Shrewsbury work hand in hand with the civil authorities to bring the culprits to justice.

Adding to the story element of mystery and mysticism are some of the rituals utilized by the churchmen to help them in solving the crimes. A particularly engaging episode concerns their random selection of passages from the New Testament to guide them in their quest. Ms. Peters also makes colorful reference to blackthorn leaves in Brother Cadfael's efforts to resolve the mystery.

Ideally, read all the preceding books in the series, in order, before reading this one. At a minimum, first read #1 (_A Morbid Taste for Bones_, the story of how St. Winifred's reliquary came to the abbey) to avoid spoiling the end of that book, and _The Potter's Field_, which introduced the Blounts of Longner. If you're interested in an audio edition, check that you're getting the unabridged recording narrated by Stephen Thorne.

In the summer of 1144, Geoffrey de Mandeville - after more than a year of running the Fens as his own private robber kingdom - was shot almost by accident during a siege, and died from the infected wound. His lengthy death gave him no chance to receive absolution - only the Pope could have absolved one guilty of the seizure of the abbey of Ramsey - but Geoffrey's followers did what they could for him, restoring the despoiled abbey to its scattered monks. Thus the abbey of St. Peter and St. Paul receives two guests of their own order from Ramsey - grim subprior Herluin and his appealing assistant Tutilo - asking leave to preach. Ramsey needs money, materials, and labour to undo the damage left by Geoffrey's marauders.

Herluin guided their footsteps to Shrewsbury not only to request assistance, but to recall Sulien Blount of Longner, sometime novice of Ramsey, who was sent home to reconsider his vocation. (See _The Potter's Field_ for details.) Cadfael, therefore, accompanies Herluin and his young companion Tutilo to Longner to speak with Sulien - and appeal for the Blounts' generosity toward Ramsey. While Herluin pursues his errand, Cadfael introduces Tutilo to Sulien's dying mother, the formidable Donata, who is more than happy to welcome a bard, even if he's now a novice monk. (Their friendship, brief as it is, is touching.) Young Tutilo is what would now be called a renaissance man, and would be wasted as a monk - if he ever gets that far after meeting the Irish girl Daalny, slave to the Provencal troubadour staying at the abbey guesthouse. Daalny's voice is such as to attract any musician - part of the troubadour's stock in trade. Nevertheless, Tutilo seems passionate enough on Ramsey's behalf.

Unfortunately, someone appears to have been a little *too* enthusiastic for Ramsey's sake - while preparing for a flood, someone stole St. Winifred's relics, and the chief suspects are the brothers of Ramsey. How, after all, could anyone steal the reliquary if the saint didn't *want* to go elsewhere? To further complicate the ensuing dispute over the saint's wishes, the reliquary comes into the hands of Earl Robert "Bossu" Beaumont, a brilliant man with a sly sense of humor who decides to further complicate matters by pointing out that the saint came to rest in *his* care and seems content to stay there. (Robert - who was a real person, incidentally - here makes his debut in the series as a very impressive figure; the crooked back that gave him his nickname doesn't hinder him at all.) Only Brother Cadfael and his confidant Hugh Beringar know just how complicated this situation really is - before a man on the fringes of the quarrel is murdered on a dark night. But was he killed for himself - or because he was mistaken for one of the disputants?

Very nicely ties up some loose ends from _The Potter's Field_, while raking up the old problem of the reliquary very creatively. Robert Bossu alone would be worth the price of admission. :)

It goes without saying that stealing is one of the sins in life--and with her usual characteristic zeal, author Ellis Peters adds murder to that list!

In "The Holy Thief," the 19th chronicle of Brother Cadfael, Peters continues her top-flight form of the medieval whodunnit and, as usual, her protagonist, the good Benedictine monk, rides to the rescue and solution.

The year is 1144--and still King Stephen and Empress Maud are struggling in an interminable civil war, with no solution in sight. However, that historical fact is mere backdrop--as it usually is--to a more local concern. A renowned earl (Essex) is killed by an arrow, but not before he tries to make amends with Heaven by restoring some of the properties he had earlier "gained." This includes the abbey of Ramsey, a run-down site badly in need of more worldly help. The abbey sends envoys out, and one such envoy arrives in Shrewsbury, at the abbey of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, Cadfael's domain. The envoy includes Brother Herluin and his young novice Tutilo, who possesses a great singing voice along with other musical skills. In Shrewsbury is also, as the plot would have it, a beautiful slave girl (also a singer) named Daalny.

Suffice it to say, Peters lays a solid romantic setting. But the rains come, so much so that much of the abbey's possessions, including the holy relics, must be moved to safety. But not so safely after all, as a theft is discovered. And this soon leads to--you have it--a murder.

And Cadfael takes over. Using not only his brilliance, but his skills as the abbey's herbalist, Cadfael wastes no time in carefully solving the crime. Of course, as in all the Cadfael adventures, the murder is solved. The solution rarely comes easily for this ex-crusader, nor should it. Peters does not rush into her novels, which are characterized by logic and sound research.

Peters' very successful series has been adapted to TV, and while the episodes are generally very good, the televised portrayal of both Cadfael and the story line leaves quite a bit to be desired, as good as they are. The books are the better choice. I have never been disappointed and "The Holy Thief" is no exception.

Ellis jokingly says on page 281 that REBT can relieve the sufferings of the damned in hell by teaching them that damnation is not "awful," but merely "inconvenient." This kind of remark shows the range of applications of his fundamental psychotherapeutic ideas, which he repeats over and over again in this collection of semi-scholarly papers.

While the repitition may be part of Ellis's didactic strategy, it does get tedious to read after awhile. You can get a better idea of Ellis's key teachings in his _Albert Ellis Reader_, published a few years ago and still in print.

I find Ellis's new infatuation with postmodernism in this book puzzling, however. If one's reality is subjectively or socially constructed, by what criteria can you decide that some ideas are "irrational"? And why is emotional upset considered undesirable without some objective standard of comparison?

This book contains the most up-to-date description of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy available. Ellis especially emphasizes the following:
* The use of action verbs (e.g. I make myself angry or depressed) instead of nouns (I suffer from depression). This continually reminds oneself of the principle of emotional responsibility: neurotic difficulties don't come out of the blue, I partly create them by my irrational beliefs
* The basic philosphical underpinnings of REBT and how REBT relates to other systems of therapy, e.g. systems therapy, (cognitive) behavior therapy and psychoanalysis
* The flexible use of therapeutic procedures, sometimes even non-REBT techniques, to help patients overcome their neuroticizing
* As usual, Ellis tries to help the reader to achieve unconditional self-acceptance, unconditional other-acceptance and high frustration tolerance
* In contrast to some earlier books, Ellis does not postulate to have a panacea for all psychological problems

At times repetitive, this book nonetheless is worth reading as it contains several so far underestimated aspects of REBT. I recommend it for therapists and people already familiar with the basics of REBT. The interested lay person should better read Ellis' book: Ellis, A. (2011). Feeling better, getting better, staying better.

This new book by Albert Ellis, founder of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), is a collection of articles he published in the last several years, some of them partly rewritten. Ellis originated REBT in 1955. Since then, it has gained great influence, primarily in therapy, but also in management coaching and training.

The basics of REBT have remained the same. They revolve around the ABCs of self-disturbing. (A) stands for the Adversities we encounter, (B) for our Beliefs about these Adversities, and (C) for the emotional and behavioral Consequences of these Beliefs. A coach, therapist, or trainer using REBT, has two goals: 1) to help people feel better and 2) to make them function better and does so by helping to replace the problematic Beliefs by more usable and realistic Beliefs.

Although the core of REBT has remained the same, some aspects of the approach have kept on evolving, and Ellis keeps on leading the development of REBT himself. The book shows many examples. Important is for instance that Ellis now defines the (B) of the ABCs not merely as Believing but as Believing-Emoting-Behaving.

Very interesting is how Ellis uses action language when writing about emotional problems. He thinks we misuse many nouns in psychology instead of verbs and therby create "semifictional entities" or "thought things". An example: Ellis doesn't say: "I suffer from depression" but "I depress (myself)".

A terrific chapter I found the one about postmodernism and constructivism in psychotherapy. I have never read such a clarifying chapter about this intruiging subject before. Ellis convincingly demonstrates how REBT and constructivism are not at odds but conincide well with each other. To illustrate, he says: "You have considerable power to construct self-helping thoughts, feelings, and actions as well as to construct self defeating behaviors."

Although this book is NOT intended to be a self-help book, each chapter ends with some great self-help suggestions, which can also be read as chapter summaries. This book, which is filled with great insights, shows the great inspiraton of Ellis, which is still there.

Few children's books are enduring enough to earn a spot in our home bookshelf, but this bright, clever tale by Carey Armstrong-Ellis is a candidate. The story of Prudy, a young girl who obsessively collects anything and everything, moves at a brisk pace. The prose is sharp, the story inventful, and the illustrations are superb. It's fun to read about all the oddball items Prudy gathers and keeps, but without these first-rate illustrations, this might be just an average book. With them, you and your kids will find a pleasant diversion just checking out all the objects, drawings, animals, plants, etc. the spill all over the pages.

Prudy's collecting is way out of hand, driving her parents crazy. And when her little sister starts her own collections, things look dire. But then, the final straw, so to speak, occurs when Prudy tries to add to a gum wrapper to her already bulging closet.

So she confronts her collecting problem creatively, culminating with the creation of the Prudy Museum of Indescribable Wonderment. But Prudy still has this little problem. . .

I'm not sure how well this book will stand up to repeated readings, but better than most I suspect. Enjoy.

While Prudy's Problem is ostensibly a children's book, it is quite entertaining for adults as well. The illustrations of Prudy and her amazing collections are witty and often laugh-out-loud funny. Prudy's single-minded obsession with collecting may remind you of someone in your life who has a similiar quirk. Our five-year-old daughter has asked for Prudy nightly for several weeks as an addition to other stories before bed. If you put Prudy on your bookshelf, beware -- you may want to begin collecting children's literature.

This book made me laugh. I recognised myself and many others in Prudy's dilemma. Her curiosity and her parents' patience are a winning combination. I have read this book to several children and have heard other parents say that their children thoroughly enjoyed the story and the delightfully detailed pictures. I own a shop and, because of the fabulous illustrations, have sold several copies to adults with no children. Armstrong-Ellis has written and illustrated a lovely first book. I look forward to more from her.

This is the most disappointing Transmetropolitan offering so far. Which doesn't mean that it's that bad, it's just not as good as the other novels in the series. Spider loses his edge. He goes around doing good deeds, and generally being pushed around by the people he hates the most. After the manic whirlwind of first three novels, it makes for disappointing reading.

The story focus in a peripheral manner on the election, but since Spider has been removed from the streets by fame, he's too far away to really get at the heart of it.

Lastly, the artwork seems to have taken a turn for the cartoony. It's a lot more '4 color' than previous efforts and just doesn't fit with the world of Spider Jerusalem as previously depicited.

The most interesting thread focuses on the relationship of Channon and Yelena. Which is, while interesting, not what I buy Transmetropolitan for.

Overall, if you liked the first three novels, this is still worth reading. If the first three novels were too offensive, you might find this one tolerable, but since so much of it is built on the first three, it's not that good a story in its own right.

Upon reading Warren Ellis's Transmetropolitan, one imeadiatly thinks of Hunter S Thomson set in the future. Spider Jeruselum, a drug-crazed, gun toting, jurnalistic lunitic, has a column in The Word titled, "I hate It Here", and he just pisses people off. A must read

Transmet has established itself as the greatest comic of all time by blending sci-fi, black humor, generally excellent storytelling, political commentary, and fabulous artwork. This is just another chapter in the fabulous sweeping saga that is Transmetropolitan. It really is a shame that not enough people are reading this stuff and dismiss it simply as another brain damaged comic book. Look just because the X-Men are god awful doesn't meen that comic's can't tell good stories. I really have been reading too much Warren Ellis (if that is possible.)

The book says that you try to fight with your anger rationally. When you are angry, try to convince yourself that it's not "logical" to be angry over this issue. When something goes wrong, you should feel disappointment, not anger. The technique worked for me. But the book is written in a very boring manner. The same ideas are repeated 3-4 times throughout the book. So if you've read 2 chapters, there is no need to read more.

Although this book can get a little ponderous, it flipped a switch in me. I was one of those guys who got pissed at everything. By page 60 I was able to recognize the things that were making me angry, and not let them set me off. If you find that you are frequently irrationally angry, get this book. I can't begin to tell you the difference it made for me.

Dr. Ellis, as in all of his books, provides a method to handle life's disturbances, in this case the problem of anger. He believes and demonstrates that through the power of precise thinking we can nuetralize the worst consequences of anger on ourselves and loved ones. Try using his techniques and you will find that life can be changed for the better.
