Mark's writings have been seen in numerous publications; now his hands-on experience is combined with wisdom from a veritable who's who of the ...

80629: A Mengele Experiment14 reviews
Gene Church
Route Sixty Six Publishing, Limited, 1995
Lest We Forget ! Read It....Please !
This book is one of the most powerful Holocaust books that I have ever read and it will grip you intensely from beginning to end. It is extremely well written and will make most readers angry that innocent people can be treated in such a manner for just one reason alone. Just because they were Jewish. This is the heartrending story of Yakoff Skurnik (Jack Oran), including his experiences as a ...

Making Kind Choices: Everyday Ways to Enhance Your Life Through Earth- and Animal-Friendly Living24 reviews
Ingrid Newkirk
St. Martin's Griffin, 2005
A Great Resource
My roommate bought me a copy of this book and it's really opened my eyes! Although I've been vegan for several years I didn't realize how much more I could be doing to help the world around me by making smarter choices. It's not only inspiring but a great resource book as well.

Terrorists or Freedom Fighters?: Reflections on the Liberation of Animals12 reviews
Lantern Books, 2004
Taking action for the animals
In this day and age, and especially in this country, where the words "freedom" and "terrorism" have become inextricably linked, "Terrorist or Freedom Fighters, Reflections on the Liberation of Animals" is a sobering reminder of who it is that has never been free and never will be free as long as human ignorance and greed exists.
I probably like many thousands or even millions of people are ...

Committed: A Rabble-Rouser's Memoir25 reviews
Atria Books, 2007
Vive La Mathews
From his early punk rocker days to carvorting with todays biggest celebrities, Dan Mathews spins a hilarious web of globe trotting adventures sprinkled with a dash a seriousness that brings light to an important subject matter; animal cruelty. From humble beginnings, success and notoriety certainly haven't changed his life long goals or sparkling personality. If you like Augusten Burroughs style ...

The design, experimentation, and simulation of a novel coulomb friction device for automotive value spring ...9 reviews
John F Sefler, 1991
masterful autobiography
Under My Skin Doris Lessing's autobiography traces her political and emotional development from her earliest childhood memories to her growing, overwhelming, disenchantment with provincial (as she saw it) small town life. "Small town" life for her was pre-WWII Salisbury in the (then) British colony of Southern Rhodesia. Salisbury was a complacent capital city of 10,000 white settlers in a country ...

Experimentation Matters: Unlocking the Potential of New Technologies for Innovation9 reviews
Stefan H. Thomke
Harvard Business School Press, 2003
This book matters!
The way to succeed is to double your failure rate. That comment by Thomas Watson, Sr. is not among the innovators' words of wisdom in Stefan Thomke's densely informative exploration of technologies and processes of experimentation but it perfectly fits the message. Central to Thomke's message in this book is the idea that iterated experimentation through the use of models, prototypes, and ...

The Nephilim Seed: A Novel12 reviews
James Scott Bell
Broadman & Holman Publishers, 2001
...wonderful... absolutely... ... breathtaking (if you can't tell) :-)
I'm blown away. I just finished reading it seconds ago. I am completely blown away. "Christian Futuristic Mystery/Thriller" is how I'd classify it.
you know how you listen to a milestone of a music CD (something by Elvis, the Beetles, Led Zepplin, Iron Maiden, or Metallica - you know, something of that nature) and you wish you could give it about 10,000 stars on amazon? I wish I could do ...

The Plutonium Files: America's Secret Medical Experiments in the Cold War22 reviews
Eileen Welsome
The Dial Press, 1999
Skeletons in the closet
This book is scary to say the least. It is well researched and details what is a practice probably still going on today in experiements we do not know about. I was particularly troubled by the Fernald school, where unwanted kids were befriended by MIT researchers who took them on trips and gave them presents in return for the kids drinking radioactive milkshakes. Was some of this done to generate ...

Slaughter of the innocent7 reviews
Hans Ruesch
Civitas Publications, 1986
Life changing
Few books can be said to really change our lives but 'Slaughter of The Innocent' is truly one of them. I urge you to read this book especially if you are a believer in vivisection. Reading this may cause you to question the myths, spin and downright lies that have been promoted so effectively by the medical and pharmaceutical industries for decades. Read and form your own view as to why this ...

Journey into Madness6 reviews
Gordon Thomas
Bantam, 1990
Has far-reaching implications that are just as important now
The second review merely seeks to lessen the impact of the book "Journey into Madness" by Gordon Thomas by pointing out that other governments do similar things. No. Not on the scale and with the hypocrisy that the CIA does. For those interested, who would like to know more about such practices and how the CIA and the medical community continue their terror and human rights abuses here ...

The Great Starvation Experiment8 reviews
The Free Press, 2006
A wonderful story, all the better that it's true!
Nope it's not about anorexia, but it is fascinating! All manner of details about hunger, calorie restrictions, who loses weight, who doesn't, and why! This study, run by Dr. Alan Keys (who also invented the K ration) is the seminal (and only) work on human starvation. This book is its story and the story of the men who participated to make the study possible. As someone who is firmly opposed to ...

The Lion in Winter (Dramatized)8 reviews

The Modern Middle Ages
This play about the famously disfunctional family of England's Henry II is perhaps the most devestating family drama this side of "Long Day's Journey into Night". For those who want a real epic, it can - but doesn't have to - be read as a sequel to Jean Anoilh's "Becket". Personally I found that this adds to the tragedy. It opens during a fictional family Christmas get together that is combined ...

Max Gerson
Greenfield Review Press, 1997
there are natural alternatives to healting cancer
I have heard Charlotte Gerson speak and have read many of the testimonies of healing in this book. I am convinced that raw foods and juicing, plus elimination of toxic foods are essential in maintaining good health and healing from all disease. It makes so much sense that our diets are killing us, but I have heard so many doctors say that it doesn't matter what we are eating. Listen to Max ...

Heather Chase
Lantern Books, 2001
Worth the read!
I enjoyed reading this book. I find that most books written to provoke thought are written from a condemning perspective. This book is not like that. It provides objective platforms for the reader to view such topics as animal testing (vivisection), fur harvesting, and factory farming, without accusations and guilt. This book is unique because it provides the reader with an abundance of ...

Henry Holt and Co. (BYR), 2005
Fascinating anecdotes
Guinea Pig Scientists contains nine chapters, each on a different scientist who made a difference by plaicng themself in harm's way to varying degrees. The book is hardly in depth, but it covers the most important aspects of each scientists methods and what was learned from them. This would be a great book to use to get adolescents interested in scientific inquiry. It is an engaging read, and ...

Gavan Daws
El Leon Literary Arts, 2003
Bite the Hand, a play by Gavan Daws
Bite the Hand is a magical, lyrical play with writing so visual you experience the dolphins movements as you read. I can imagine producers, actors and dancers competing to be a part of such an exciting, perceptive, comic/tragic and potentially beautiful production. I want to see it on stage soon. Through the spare, and sometimes cynical, dialogue the characters develop and reveal themselves. ...

Echoes from Auschwitz: Dr. Mengele's Twins: The Story of Eva & Miriam Mozes6 reviews

amazing woman
I met Eva when she came to my university to speak about Forigveness. I also had the amazing opportunity to interview her for the school newspaper. It's incredible to me how, after everything that she's been through, she is able to speak with such love and complete forgiveness in her heart. I think that she truly did set herself free when she forgave the nazis, and especially when she forgave ...
