Insight Guides, 2007

Comprehensive and thorough with great photos
Vacation photos are the ubiquitous, clichéd chronicle of the average person's travels. Yet few travel books include more than a small smattering of so-so photos, offering only a peek at a destination's sights and environs; even though a great deal of our travel memories and experiences are through images. This book, along with the Insight Guides series in general, is different, offering a ...

Alberto Villoldo

Hay House, 2007

Luminous!
I have just finished reading this book, and my plan is to read through it again, slowly, and work with the exercises associated with each insight. I know that I have only begun to absorb the lessons, and that this will take more study and practice. This is some of what I have gleaned so far: Insight #1: The Way Of The Hero. This is a concept I relate to, since the book I wrote is in the ...

Hedge Funds: Quantitative Insights (The Wiley Finance Series)

3 reviews
François-Serge Lhabitant

Wiley, 2004

Somewhat misleading title, but good book
I bought this book with the hope that finally I would learn how hedge fund strategies should be implemented in a quantitative and practical way. What a delusion I was under! Suffice to say that I regretted this purchase. You will not learn about investment strategies here, so if this is your motivation, look somewhere else (Lhabitant's first book "Hedge Funds: Myths and Limits" is better on ...

Insight Meditation: A Step-By-Step Course on How to Meditate

Sharon Salzberg, Joseph Goldstein

Sounds True, 2002

This got me started
The book and cd's were great. I used this to kick-off my learning about insight meditation. The book is a great introduction, and the cd's helped me to get the feel for meditation. I sometimes hung up a card to remind me to be mindful of particular things during the day. Every now and then I will use a meditation on the cds when I want help focusing on something specific in my meditation. I ...

My Stroke of Insight: A Brain Scientist's Personal Journey

45 reviews
Jill Bolte Taylor

Viking Adult, 2008

brilliant introduction to the functions of the right brain
I wanted to read this book because I have a professional and personal interest in both recovery from strokes--the proverbial 'insult to the brain'-- and because I was inspired by Dr Bolte Taylor's TED lecture recounting the short and longterm consequences of the cerebral hemorrhage in the left hemisphere of her brain. The book is for the general reader, and I cannot recommend it too highly.My ...

Insight Meditation: The Practice of Freedom

13 reviews
Joseph Goldstein

Shambhala, 2003

Joseph Goldstein covers all the bases here
"Surrender does not mean passive resignation. Rather it means surrender to the Dharma, to the truth of the moment's experience." "Through meditation we open both to what is pleasant and to what is unpleasant, with genuine acceptance and balance. "How many pleasant feelings have we already enjoyed? Too many even to count. And yet we still feel that something is lacking, something is not ...

Anthropological Insights for Missionaries

7 reviews
Paul G. Hiebert

Baker Academic, 1985

Anthropological insights are for missionaries!
Missionaries should learn and understand culture of the people to whom they want to preach the gospel. I agree with Hiebert that without all that knowledge their message may be irrelevant and meaningless in cultural enviroment that is different from the cultural background of missionaries, especially if they came from the West. Missionaries must be tolerant for other cultures and keep interest in ...

Classical Mythology: Images and Insights

8 reviews
Stephen Harris, Gloria Platzner

McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages, 2007

Lots of primary texts to go with the images & insights
I managed to make it all the way to the 21st century before I actually made my students buy a single textbook that cost this much, but after my first semester of using the Fourth Edition of "Classical Mythology: Images & Insights" by Stephen L. Harris and Gloria Platzner I do not have any major regrets. In the past I have liked to rely mainly on primary texts, such as Homer's "Iliad" and a ...

Cross cultural lifeline.
Insight guides offer a rich history, political analysis and cultural insight to the countries they cover. By using locally based writers they get the insiders view of what the various camps believe in. For a discerning traveller who wants to know about the country, the people, geography, food, industry etc and for those who wish to travel independently, this is the book to read. It is not ...
