2 reviews
John Grant

HarperCollins UK, 2002

Changing from a 20th Century status and power driven environment to a 21st continuous learning and collaborative environment

Grant communicates very powerfully the change in structure and thinking that is necessary for individuals and for us as whole to succeed in the 21st Century. His explaination of moving from a work/status ethic to a continuous learning/collaborative/networking ethic provides a structure for individuals, organizations and countries ...

Chemistry Of Mind-altering Drugs: History, Pharmacology, And Cultural Context

4 reviews
Daniel M. Perrine

Topeka Bindery, 1996

Definitive Guide
While I would not say that the merit of the book lies in its non-committal stance, I was certainly convinced that the author knew his chemistry. My reading was facilitated by the poetic interludes and anecdotes, which seem to have become a genre within science writing. Mr. Perrine should write another book, non-technical, and I am sure he will be as entertaining and informative. Inspired by his ...

The Perfect Fit: The Classic Guide to Altering Patterns

Editors of creative Publishing

Creative Publishing international, 2005

Excellent information
Wow! This book is amazing. Even if the alteration information was terrible (which it's not), the beginning of the book would be well worth it's price. It begins by teaching you how to select the right pattern first. The authors explain how commercial patterns are built, and the differences between classic, relaxed and dramatic fit. The fitting section begins with a comprehensive figure analysis. ...

Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications

Peter Breggin

St. Martin's Press, 2008

Psychotropics: Unsafe At Any Dose
For years, I have questioned how any mental health clinician could believe that psychotropic were safe or effective, with such a mountain of evidence showing that they are neither. In my practice, I have sat with many clients who were on psychiatric drugs; while none of them had really gotten better from them, so many of them seemed oblivious to this. This book satisfies my question. They ...

Microsoft Photodraw 2000

4 reviews

9 years and counting
I have owned MS Photodraw V2 for almost 9 years, having first purchased it with MS Office 2000. Like the other reviewers, I use it on a daily basis and I am still amazed with its functionality and the quality of the results. I also own Adobe Photoshop and use that occasionally but for most picture editing projects, I use MS Photodraw. Being able to crop, resize, add special effects (such as ...

Radical Brewing: Recipes, Tales and World-Altering Meditations in a Glass

19 reviews
Randy Mosher

Brewers Publications, 2004

Great read, great ideas!
I'm enjoying this book immensely. This is my second home brewing book (Papazian was the first, about 15 years ago). Like Papazian, "Radical Brewing" includes plenty of lore in addition to hard core brewing info. And like Papazian this book has lots of humor in it. But Mosher's book is much more current, in terms of both information and viewpoint. And the humor is sardonic where Papazian's humor ...

Blending Genre, Altering Style : Writing Multigenre Papers

5 reviews
Tom Romano

Boynton/Cook, 2000

A great writing reference
This latest book by Romano provides yet another way to incorporate writing into the classroom. He briefly touched upon the mulit-genre paper in his Writing with Passion book, but fully expands the ideas in this book. This book is helpful for those who have not used the mulit-genre paper. (Sharon Draper's Tears of a Tiger is a great example of a multi-genre book.) Included in the back of ...

Wheel-Thrown Ceramics: Altering, Trimming, Adding, Finishing (A Lark Ceramics Book)

5 reviews
Don Davis

Lark Books, 2000

Great step-by-step techniques
I loved the step-by-step approach this book takes with the many different examples of pottery. Also, it is great to show the techniques of the different potters. The book also includes photos of other pieces made with similar techniques. I borrowed this book, but now have to have my own copy.

Kala Ambrose

Reality Press, 2007

Life Altering
Where do I start? How about, from the bottom of my heart thank you Kala! I finished this book a while ago now and it has had, and continues to have, deep and profound implications for me. I was going to write this when the positive changes started to peter out or stop but they just keep on coming. What did I learn? In short, I discovered self-love. And it is truly transformational. Without love ...

First of all the Notes section of the book is written by Jonathan Ott and that alone makes this book a valuable purchase, especially considering the prices of Mr. Ott's other works.

Real Life Management: Five Steps to ALTERing Your Attitude About Health, Money, and Relationships

2 reviews
Wayne Nance

Fireside, 2008

This Should Be The #1 Bestseller In The Country
Whoever this Wayne Nance is, everyone in the world should meet him and read his book. No BS here -- just straightforward, well-researched, common sense information that ANYONE can put into play today. None of this do-as-I-say-right-now-and-change-your-whole-life stuff. Minor adjustments, logical assessments, and one brilliant man talking plain language that can save us all. The heck with that ...

Intoxication: The Universal Drive for Mind-Altering Substances

2 reviews
Ronald K. Siegel

Park Street Press, 2005

Quite essential reading, really
Ronald K. Siegel, Ph.D, a psychopharmacologist at the Department of Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences at UCLA School of Medicine, has written a truly mind-boggling (quite literally) book about what he believes to be the fourth strongest drive in the human animal: that of intoxication. What? The struggle for intoxication is a drive, just like hunger, thirst, and sex? You bet, and Siegel has ...

Deborah Cadbury

St. Martin's Press, 1999

Altering Eden - Our Future at Risk
This is a very important book. It is based on an `Emmy' award winning BBC TV programme. Scientists around the world are finding alarming changes in human reproduction and health. There is strong evidence that sperm counts have fallen dramatically. Testicular, prostate, and breast cancer are on the rise.

1 review
Mark Mayell

Three Rivers Press, 1998

A Great Resource for Substance Use (Drug & Alcohol) Clinicians
Mayell's "Natural Energy" is a normalizing, de-pathologizing discussion of human desire to experiment with its consciousness and a methodical, encyclopedic review of legal, socially-sanctioned mind-altering and mood-brightening herbs and supplements. As such, the book is a wonderful resource for any substance use/drugy and alcohol providers interested in designing "natural highs" clinical ...

Oxford University Press, USA, 2000

Putting groundbreaking human genetics in perspective
Important developments in the rapidly-changing field of human genetics are in the newspaper virtually every day, but the underlying ethical and moral issues seem to remain constant from year to year. This book does a very fine job of exploring those concerns and examining the larger implications of human "germline" engineering. Although it also contains additional related essays, ...

1 review
Alexander McCall Smith

Barnes and Noble, 2004

'Altering the Blueprint' is a fine contribution to the Portable Professor series
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Reproduction is a process fundamental to every known species, so it is no surprise that human beings, perhaps the most self-reflective of all specieis, spend so much time thinking about the implications of creating life anew. In this intriguing series of lectures, Professor Alexander McCall Smith explores the startling, and occasionally unsettling, ethical choices that ...

The Art of Magic Words

2 reviews
Llysse Smith Wylle

GroundMark Press, 2007

What a lovely book
Hard to know where to start with this. Smith-Wylle's book is a great read on many different levels. It was enlightening for me to see some of the "science"/structure behind the art. I myself am not a practitioner of spell-craft, but this book definitely helped enrich my efforts at song-writing and poetry. Her voice is erudite, yet accessible. Something that I really appreciate is the author's ...
