excellent series of books elucidating the sufi path
This is the second in a series of volumes on Sufism by the Nimutallahi Sufi shaikh Javad Nurbakhsh. I have read many books on sufism, including the available translations of Sufi classics, but the Nurbakhsh books are particularly useful to people who are trying to get a grasp of the sufi path. Nurbakhsh focuses on particular aspects of the sufi path in each of the volumes, using well-chosen ...

A timely document
In these days, in which we are discussing and fighting over the issue of the financial crisis, nothing is better than this chapter of Milton Friedman "Banking History" which reviews carefully and seriously the causes resulting in The Great Contraction 1929-1933, and sent the world into the greatest depression of modern times. Men who do not know history are bound to repete the errors of the past. ...

SCIENTIFIC & PRECISE
This is the first bodybuilding book to actually take a critical and scientific look at the physiological and psychological mechanisms of the body that operate to preserve the status quo. This really explains why building muscle is so difficult for most people, particularly trainees that have already put on muscle and are looking to go to the final level (which, depending upon their genetics, may ...

The "Bers book" - Better than ever!
Here it is! The second edition of the classic "Bers book". Still easy to read, up to date information with many new references and a whole new chapter on action potential & ion channels in the heart. It is longer that the first edition but still focused including more than 170 excellent figures. The new edition is even more valuable than the first one, not only for students, Post-Docs, but also ...

Excellent book on how animal and human locomotion works.
This book presents its title subjects in a clear analytical style. While it is a textbook, it is quite accessible to the educated lay reader; the prose is nontechnical and can be easily understood without reference to the equations. The numerous diagrams are clear and aid understanding.The first five chapters describe the biochemistry and mechanics underlying muscular action. The next two ...

The Concept of Contraction in Giordano Bruno's Philosophy

Leo Catana

a fine contribution to Bruno studies
The next time I teach a class on Giordano Bruno in the context of his philosophy and connection to Renaissance Magic, I will assign this book as a required text. It is an excellent example of the "cutting edge" of Bruno studies, focused tightly down to a single term. The detailed and rewarding analysis of the theme of contraction helps bring to light the mystery of Bruno's relation to the various ...

Strating of right
An excellent book that should be "compulsory" reading for any person serious about archery. If I read the book when I started archery I would not have had to unlearn the many bad habits I learnt or have been taught over the past three years. A clear and practical step by step guide to get any serious archer in shooting his best shot.

A must for any health professional
I love his book because it explains the function of each and every area of the body so well. It makes studying muscle OIAs and palpation so easy. Very detailed explanation of the use and structure of the skeletal system. It gives better understanding on the pathological conditions in the bones and soft tissues in each area of the body. I would compare this book with Joint Structure & ...
Contraction & Convergence: The Global Solution to Climate Change (Schumacher Briefings, 5)

Could this book hold the solution to climate change?
There is little doubt now - even amongst mainstream political and scientific circles - that climate change poses humankind's greatest ever challenge. "I am not being alarmist," says Meyer. "[But in] the worst case scenario, the survival of all but a tiny minority of the human race comes into question." This is not simply because of the increasing amounts of CO2, methane and other greenhouse ...

Modern version of Dynamic Tension
Powerflex is an execellent book on Bodyweight exercises. His writer Jim Forystek was a follower of Charles Atlas and has stay faithful to the perfection of building muscles in the absence of the use of weights. I love the way the book exercise routines are structured. For each exercise the book has 3 levels of repetitions, making it easy to follow the routine. I've been using it for over 8 months ...

That monograph was a comprehensive study of money and its effects on the economy and the nation.

Functional Isometric Contraction - Advance Course

some perspective
1/The down side of progressively building strength with isometrics is the great unlikelihood of regularly giving a full effort, workout after workout, without any external source monitoring the resistance. As an adjunct to weights, isometrics can be useful, (Charles Atlas lifted weights 3 times week.), on their own, they're a dead end for anyone less than the most dedicated. They're largely ...

...and by strong minds I mean those willing to question what they believe to be true. Little does an excellent job of applying the scientific method to the problem of efficient strength training. Go into any gym on the planet, well, let's say 99.99% of them, and you'll find that MOST of the people are doing the following: o Sets of repititions. o Working a particular muscle group 2 or 3 ...

For starters I'm NOT Angelbabiesmom.....that's my wife!! I've read the book several times and gave it a go several years ago. My weights did go up dramatically but I eventually gave it up. I don't even remember why. All the info contained seems logical and scientifically valid. People seem so dead set on believing the traditional gym myths that have been around for decades. Funny, ...

Mike Mentzer's material
Is this a book for beginners? Yes and no. Yes, in that it starts of with simple rules and guidance for beginners. No, in that, it soon develops into a complicated and advanced system that is definitely not for the beginner. Also, if you know Mike Mentzer's theories, this book is not much more than grand theft of his material in my opinion. There are good, detailed breakdowns of exercises ...
