Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-03-08 Summary: Inciting insight ... There is simply no one like Seth. I have read philosophy and comparative religious texts for more than 40 years, and I have found no other ideas with the scope, inclusiveness or challenge that Seth can put into half a line. Seth takes you beneath the surface of thought, leads you to the inner mind, and makes you realise that you are your own creator. Your life is in your hands. This is as close to a spiritual technology that there could ever be. Seth will not save you, but he will teach you to save yourself. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-17 Summary: Fascinating, Profound ... As others have said, the Seth books are obviously the source for the later New Age writing we have today, but Jane Roberts doesn't seem to get much credit. In this book, Seth really lays out how belief systems create our reality, for instance, the opposing "White Rich American" versus "Poor Eastern Brown" belief systems, which most people don't seem too aware of, but which has caused so much sorrow and tragedy. Chapter Sixteen is really interesting, I'd advise anyone to pay close attention to it. This material, which ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-12-19 Summary: The missing link ... This is by far the best philosophical, metaphysical and science book I have ever encountered. I am an engineer and as such I am keen at recognizing the perfection of a structure and its shortcomings. When dealing with philosophy, Socrates states in the Republica the imperfection of our senses and how they can't be relied on . Descartes go about creating a God to rid himself of the "inherent" doubt and provide a validating reality for his "Cogito Ergo Sum". While a Newton gets with mathematical precision a digital impression ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | The words of Seth, the personality channeled through Jane Roberts, show readers that they possess hidden powers within themselves that have the potential to transform their lives. By learning to control their own experiences, they can create a new, fulfilling reality....more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-06-01 Summary: Great Intro to Tropical Forests ... I just loved this book. I have always been fascinated by tropical forests, and this book did a great job of presenting lots of factual information about them and at the same time giving a really good feeling for the aesthetic pleasure of being in one. Forsyth and Miyata are excellent writers, among the best pop science writers I've come across. I just wish I had read this book before before or during my recent Costa Rica vacation. it would have made it all that much more enjoyable. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-07-06 Summary: Excellent Tropical Overview ... This book is well written and easy to read and understand. The literary quality is not lost in the scientific terminology. A must read prior to a trip to the tropics. A good written explanation of why we should save the tropical forests. ...more
[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-01-28 Summary: Decent book, a little underwhelming ... We used this book for a course I taught in Costa Rica, essentially doing a chapter a day. It was informative for the class and work well in that capacity, but it isn't what I would call an especially good or deep read. It's interesting, but not transformative, I suppose. ...more
Hobbes and the Law of Nature
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | This is the first major work in English to explore at length the meaning, context, aims, and vital importance of Thomas Hobbes's concepts of the law of nature and the right of nature. Hobbes remains one of the most challenging and controversial of early modern philosophers, and debates persist about the interpretation of many of his ideas, particularly his views about natural law and natural right. In this book, Perez Zagorin argues that these two concepts are the twin foundations of...more

[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-01-22 Summary: Coffee table quality photos - with a lesson for every photographer! ... This book is small in size, but very big in stature! The photos are impressive by any measure. But what really sets the book apart are the detailed descriptions of the "how he did it" that accompany almost every photo, including many "tricks of the trade" that can often be leveraged by mere mortals carrying a point and shoot camera. That's not to say there aren't photos taken using lenses, equipment and methods that cost thousands of dollars. There are. So people who are serious enthusiasts or who regularly dabble ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-14 Summary: The Nature of Animal Healing: The definitive holistic medicine guide to caring for your dog and cat ... I have found this book an exceptional help in the healing of my very sick dog and has reinforced my belief in homeopathic and natural healing. I believe that this book should be in every pet owner's home as it is essential to our pet's health. I had to perservere with my process of natural healing to bring my beautiful girl back from near death, even with constant nagging to take her to a vet to get cortisoned etc(I cannot find an homeopathic vet in this state). I believe it is a 'leap of faith' and this book and its ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-05-27 Summary: Before GIS There Was McHarg ... Ian McHarg's Design with Nature revolutionized landscape planning just at the time when the modern built environment was being recognized for its devastating effects on natural systems. McHarg devised techniques for planners to envision not just the finished product of human development, but its complex interaction with watersheds, wildlife habitat, viewscapes and anything else that could be represented as a layer on a map. Fast forward to today....Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are complex databases that organize ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-12-28 Summary: The "Bible" for Land Use Planning ... I was first introduced to this book in 1970 at the time of the first Earth Day Event. I was studying at a university in Appalachia and was exposed to reclamation of land laid barren by strip mining. My roommate was studying to be an architect and introduced me to this book that he was using for one of his courses. I was so fascinated by the concepts in the book I just had to purchase my own copy. I grew up in urban wastelands of industrialized Detroit and Cleveland and always wondered if there was any such thing as ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2007-06-15 Summary: la correcta dimension de la sostenibilidad ... No has estudiado arquitectura si este libro no ha caido en tus manos. Sin Ian Mcharg la arquitectura sostenible no seria posible. Por lo menos la arquitectura sostenible pensada a escala regional." ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-11-02 Summary: Journey into the Human Soul ... This is one of those books that you must really think about before you read. Not because it is no good, but because it is so good. You have to steel your self for a journey into you. To actually think about your past choices and where they have led you. It makes you take a hard look at yourself and as we all know we don't always see things that we like. An amazing book. A definite must have. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-09-07 Summary: The Power of Here ... I recently found myself amidst major upheaval on many levels; a dark night of the soul, without purpose or direction. Having done a vision quest almost twenty years ago, and knowing the power of that experience, I knew it was time for another. I had heard of Bill Plotkin's programs many years ago from a mentor, and have been impressed by the quality, breadth and depth of the programs. So while searching for a program to sign up for, I decided to buy "Nature and the Human Soul" to help me through until I could quest ...more
[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-09-01 Summary: The essential connection between humans and nature ... My wife Lupa really liked this book and I was curious myself to see what it was about. Nature and the Human soul examines nature and how it informs and otherwise nourishes the human soul. The author breaks up the human life into eight stages and relates a concept of nature to each stage of human development. The author's argument is that we need to cultivate an ecocentric relationship with nature and each other as opposed to a selfish egocentric relationship. After reading this book, I will say that I have a renewed ...more

[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-08-09 Summary: Great inspiration ... Not a journaling guide but an inspiration to draw and record in a journal. Her artwork and ability to capture the moment is simply amazing - and should be since she is a professional artist. Better than the pictures is her persuasion that you can also draw and record the world around you. Many types of journals are discussed with suggestions of organization, etc but the strength is not the information but the encouragement to DO. If you are interested in scientific journaling, or looking for an instruction manual I ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-07-17 Summary: Great examples, great way to start ... I bought this book along with Handbook of Nature Study to help me start guiding nature studies with my son. I was not disappointed with either book, but I am especially happy with this one. It goes over all the basics of keeping a nature journal clearly and distinctly. There are a lot of examples of the author's own journal pages to help you get an idea of what is possible. There are sections for nature journaling in each season, as well as a chapter dedicated to drawing tips. This section is in addition to all of ...more

In response to this groundswell of enthusiasm, we have revised KEEPING A NATURE JOURNAL, updated the interior design, and created a new cover. Undoubtedly the most exciting new element in this second edition is a portfolio of 32 illustrated pages from Clare Walker Leslie's most recent journals, reproduced in full color. What makes...more

[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-10-08 Summary: Not just for homeschooling! ... I am just so surprised at how many reviewers think this book is perfect for homeschooling. Not that it isn't. However, this book is not written for the homeschooling-exclusives, and I don't want other people to be veered away from it. Two of my children (4, and 5 years old) go to public school. It's October now, and my child is going to the pumpkin patch tomorrow, so we looked up "pumpkin" in the index and talked about it. The book is a great tool because it is not watered down at all, like most children's books are. ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-11-17 Summary: Wonderful picture of a garden ... This is a book I wish I'd caught earlier - written in the late 80's, it displays the kind of writing that made Pollan famous. The combination of history, garden information, and good writing makes it a pleasure to follow Pollan's development of his property and his understanding of what makes his work 'gardening.' I see gardens and landscaping differently after reading this book. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-28 Summary: excellent ... This book is a must read, a real page turner. Sit back with a cup of something to drink and soak this book in. Get cozy, you may not want to put it down for a while. Enjoy Pollens style of writing and his good natured humor. I myself enjoyed the battle with the woodchuck as I have done my time with maurading gophers in my day. There is often a moral deliema that comes with the territory of gardening. Pollen brings all that to light with a wonderful common sense and realistic approach while bringing a smile to our ...more
