A Remarkable Medicine Has Been Overlooked5 reviews
Jack Dreyfus

Lantern Books, 2000

Try it before you speak
I've read a few reviews of this book, many laudatory, and a few nasty attacks from medical professionals (see:"davidb321us" and "kohoutekdriver8"). Most of the reviews, save one, fail a crucial test: did the reviewer have a positive experience with dilantin from which they could base their assessment of the usefulness of Dreyfuss' work? I pass that test. I can feel my chronic, ... 		  
  







  
  
Lost Classics: Writers on Books Loved and Lost, Overlooked, Under-read, Unavailable, Stolen, Extinct, or ...4 reviews

Anchor, 2001

Great Conversation
The act of reading has been mistakenly called solitary. It is all about dialogue and this book has it in spades. Michael Ondaatje and fellow editors from Brick Magazine, a literary journal, invited over 70 past contributors to submit essays singing the praises of lost, long-ago, out-of-print or underrated books that mattered. In other words, it is a collection of love stories, all personable ... 		  
  







  
  
They Died in Vain: Overlooked, Underappreciated and Forgotten Mystery Novels2 reviews

Crum Creek Press, 2002

Great Book
As the noted mystery critic Marilyn Stasio pointed out in the New York Times Book review this book is a great way to find new and obscure books and authors. What's really wonderful about it is that each and every one of the essay writers feels a deep passion for the book they write about and often stray from the beaten path to turn the reader on to the obscure and wonderful. In a world of ...

Jo Packham, Matt Shay

Sterling/Chapelle, 2006

Hey That's My House!
I was at a Half Price book store in Dallas just minding my own business thumbing through old magazines and craft books when I picked up Kitschy Crafts: A Celebration of Overlooked 20th-Century Crafts by by Jo Packham and Matt Shay. My first thoughts were wow what cute old graphics and secondly this is a lot like Leah Kramer's The Craftster Guide to Nifty, Thrifty, and Kitschy Crafts: Fifty ... 		  
  







  
  
How to Break Growth Barriers: Capturing Overlooked Opportunities for Church Growth3 reviews
Carl F. George, Warren Bird

Baker Books, 1993

Strong Theology and Biblical Leadership Development
This practical book describes one of the best ways to provide a system of nurture, discipleship and care for church members in the shortest amount of time, and with the greatest number of resources. As described by George, "Shepherds" care individually for the flock, and those type of leaders are spread too thin and burn out quickly. Instead, George suggests becoming "Ranchers" who delegate and ...

A Victor, Not a Butcher: Ulysses S. Grant's Overlooked Military Genius14 reviews
Edward H. Bonekemper

Regnery Publishing, Inc., 2004

Before There Was "Balance in Reporting..."
(Is there still?) It's taken a long time to begin to right the ship and bring focus and perspective to how we view the two men that are (rightly or wrongly) seen as the primary architects of the war in the East in the last year plus of the American Civil War. (Jefferson Davis had his hand very deep in the Rebel strategy and fails to get enough responsibility for the Southern failure, but that's ...

Urban Spacemen and Wayfaring Strangers: Overlooked Innovators and Eccentric Visionaries of '60s Rock6 reviews
Richie Unterberger

Miller Freeman Books, 2000

a superb book!
unterberger is probably my favorite music writer, his tastes most closely resemble my own. he's right when he says that there were many, many great groups in the 60's that DIDN'T make it. there were (in my estimation) very very few truly bad bands in the 60's and early 70's- most groups had something going for them. if you like this era, you should also try mr. unterberger's other book on obscure ...

A Remarkable Medicine Has Been Overlooked: Including an Autobiography and the Clinical Section of the Broad ...8 reviews
Jack Dreyfus

Continuum International Publishing Group, 1998

A Remarkable Medicine
This is a remarkable story, a remarkable man, and a remarkable medicine. A Dr. first gave this book to me 14 years ago - it changed my life. Like Jack Dreyfus I lost interest in things I once enjoyed and like Jack Dreyfus I lost perspective and couldn't watch the news which is full of so much horror and sadness. People would tell me I needed to keep well informed, but it created panic attacks ... 		  
  







  
  
Internalizing Strengths: An Overlooked Way of Overcoming Weaknesses in Managers
Robert E. Kaplan

Center for Creative Leadership, 1999

Because executives tend to be problem solvers, they typically focus on weaknesses when they want to improve their performance. This approach can be helpful but there is another that can be just as effective: recognizing strengths. A senior manager whom the author interviewed said this about a top person: "If he saw his own strengths and internalized them, a lot of his weaknesses would go away." In this report, the author explains why it is ...

Public community colleges in the United States enroll approximately 6 million students, about 45 percent of all undergraduates.
