It is easy (for advanced players) to then follow the tables to learn the main lines and the major variations of ...

Wisdom Publications, 2004

Most straight forward zazen text out there
Outstanding book. In reading books on Soto zen practice over the last 10 years, this the clearest, most straight forward and best book on zazen (seated zen buddhist meditation) from a highly respected master I've come across. If you only read 2 books on Zen, read Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind by Suzuki and this one.

Tristan Taormino

Cleis Press, 2008

From the authors of The Essence of Tantric Sexuality and Tantra for Erotic Empowerment
This is an invaluable resource for anyone personally interested in exploring non-monogamy, as well as for scholars, psychotherapists and others with a need to learn about alternative relationship models. Opening Up is far more than just a very readable guide filled with useful exercises. It's also a very thoroughly researched and scholarly effort to define various forms of non-monogamy. Taormino ...

Opening to Channel: How to Connect with Your Guide (Roman, Sanaya)

40 reviews
Sanaya Roman, Duane Packer

HJ Kramer, 1993

Changed my life.
This book is clear, easy to read and doesn't use a lot of senseless 'filler' words to make the writing sound more eloquent than it needs to be. I bought this book over 12 years ago and have had it on my nightstand ever since. When I need a reminder of how life is meant to be lived, I open it, read a few pages and am immediately reminded of my own power and joy.

Opening Up Education: The Collective Advancement of Education through Open Technology, Open Content, and Open ...

The MIT Press, 2008

Given the abundance of open education initiatives that aim to make educational assets freely available online, the time seems ripe to explore the potential of open education to transform the economics and ecology of education. Despite the diversity of tools and resources already available?from well-packaged course materials to simple games, for students, self-learners, faculty, and educational institutions?we have yet to take full advantage of ...

Opening the Energy Gates of Your Body: Chi Gung for Lifelong Health (Tao of Energy Enhancement)

37 reviews
Bruce Frantzis

Blue Snake Books, 2005

Potentially life changing - must read!
I've been interested in Chi-Gung and Taoist things for a number of years. Took a few classes, etc, but nothing has been as detailed and to the point as this material from Mr Frantzis. Honestly, most chi-gung books and many classes out there just teach you some physical movements or "standing like a tree".. stand in different poses and hold it without a whole lot of additional instruction as ...

Mastering the Chess Openings: Unlocking the Mysteries of the Modern Chess Openings, Volume 2

5 reviews
John Watson

Gambit Publications, 2007

Most Excellent Work!!
First, I must confess that I have only read the chapters on the Queen's Gambit Declined and the King's Indian Defense. Queen's Gambit Declined chapter He gives detailed descriptions of the major themes of both the classical and exchange variations. I especially liked his discussion of the Tartakower Defense. I found his discussion of move orders to be quite interesting, subtle and useful. ...

Mastering the Chess Openings: Unlocking the Mysteries of the Modern Chess Openings, Volume 1

21 reviews
John Watson

Gambit Publications, 2006

Good opening overview
This volume covers the KP openings. Like Volume 2 it explains the concepts concerning pawn structure and piece placement, rather than give variations to memorize. If you want to understand WHAT to do in an opening, rather than HOW to do it, these are the books for you.

Opening to God: A Guide to Prayer

4 reviews
Thomas H. Green

Ave Maria Press, 2006

Outstanding--Don't miss this one!
This is an excellent book which I would reccommend to any Christian who wants to develop a more meaningful prayer relationship with God. I've read numerous books on prayer, but this one far outshines any of the others. Concise and practical, it is also very understandable and readable for the average layman. If you want to learn how to greatly improve your prayer life, snatch this one up!

A Great Read
I loved this book, I love the characters and I hated to have the book come to a end. A fun story. Im now reading another Billie Letts book and I am enjoying it also, hope she keeps the books coming.

Ideas Behind the Chess Openings: Algebraic Edition (Chess)

64 reviews
Reuben Fine

Random House Puzzles & Games, 1990

General ideas behind some major openings
IDEAS BEHIND THE CHESS OPENINGS gives you a general idea of what most of the openings are about. Don't look at this book to find the most modern and detailed analysis of any specific opening as it is very general. Since this book was written over 40 years ago, though updated some, it will not cover modern ideas. "Understanding the Chess Openings" in my opinion does a better job of what this book ...

Excellent daily meditation book.
This book has been by my side for over 5 years, traveled half way around the world, and never ceases to amaze me with how timely it is. I've made tiny notes in the margins and can track my progress in life. It is a very life-affirming and self-validating book.

Understanding the Chess Openings

Sam Collins

Gambit Publications, 2005

GREAT concise book that covers a lot of territory....
There are many different openings books which focus on different aspects of opening play. This book is like a survey of the territory and covers the most likely openings to come up and the many variations of each. What I most like about it is that it is logically organized, well-written and easy to follow. It includes commentary, but the commentary is not comprehensive. This good or bad ...

Very well written. A page turner. Great experiments disected to be relevant for everyday experiences. Makes one think about today's society in a different light and rethink one's belief system.

Defeating Darwinism by Opening Minds

109 reviews
Phillip E. Johnson

InterVarsity Press, 1997

We are done with dogma
The phenomena of dogma is what keeps people from buying into a philosophy, be it religious, political, or scientific in nature. I enjoyed reading this book, having purchased it 2 days ago and finishing it last night. It is eight chapters long, 120 pages, and not overly technical. The author knows his subject and explains it clearly and wisely. This is not another intransigent one-sided dogma ...

Jonathan Eig

Simon & Schuster, 2008

Graceful Like Its Subject
A complex, nuanced portrait of Jackie Robinson, told with stunning detail and insight into the first black man to play major league baseball in the 20th century. As an historical account, this book goes beyond myth and revisionist morality to create what feels like a genuine account of a complicated man in a complicated place. As a baseball book, it is wonderfully expansive on an important era ...

Djuric Stefan, Dimitri Komarov, ...

New in Chess, 2007

real winner
Chess Opening Essentials is a real winner and it is easy to see why it was voted Best Chess Book of the Year by the Italian Chess Federation. The book is beautifully produced, with a very pleasant looking easy-to-read layout and graphics; the dual-colour printing makes it much easier to find information that I am searching for and further enhances the look of the book. I have purchased ...

Mastering the Chess Openings, volume 3
John Watson

Gambit Publications, 2008

For many chess-players, opening study is sheer hard work. It is difficult to know what is important and what is not, and when specific knowledge is vital, or when a more general understanding is sufficient. Tragically often, once the opening is over, a player won't know what plan to follow, or even understand why his pieces are on the squares on which they sit. In this highly-acclaimed and popular series, John Watson helps chess-players ...
