This book is a must read for every amateur and professional tennis player and tennis teacher
Does it matter how and what we think about while we are playing tennis ? Yes, it matters so much that it affects our tennis performance significantly and could even affect our mental well being. W. Timothy Gallwey obviously understands both tennis and psychology very well and has written an excellent book that very clearly explains why it matters how we think about our tennis performance. As a ...

Man oh man, how I love Burke
I cannot say loudly enough how much I enjoy reading James Lee Burke. Every new novel seems to be better than his last, and Swan Peak is no exception. (And I'm not saying this just because I'm from Louisiana.) In this book, I particularly loved: - his pacing - his character development - his use of similes - his dialogue - his interweaving storylines If you've never read Burke, do ...

A Must-Have Book!
My wife and I recently had twins and these were our first children. There were some complications as well and the whole experience was very overwhelming. We read probably 10 or more books and nothing can compare to this book. It has the answer or explanation for every question we had. They should give this book away to all new parents at the hospital. Buy it now!

Focusing on the 4 elements of power usage/renewal (spiritual, mental, physical and emotional) can help you become a more productive professional, no matter your field.

An Awesome Look Into A Possible Future
I can't say enough about this book. The literary style in which it was written kept me spellbound for hours, I didn't want to put the book down! More importantly, it gave me a look at one possible future should we ever have an economic collapse, and the hope of recovery through pre-planning, preparation, and survival readiness. As they say in Network Marketing..., "I will do today what others ...

The Occams Razor for 9-11 and our times.
This book is the best explanation yet for why the executive level of government committed the 9-11 false flag operation. Being an engineer, the physics of 9-11 is what got me asking questions. But for most peope this will not be compelling for they lack physics training. So this book is a outstanding in the sense that it proves 9-11 was an inside job with everything other than physics. So ...

World made by hand
It was a good read. The writer manipulated my assumptions of the characters in a subtle, yet effective way. Also, I enjoyed the detail of description that people in the story went to cope with life with the lack of today's infrastructure. Thought provoking.

Great book, wish I read it earlier.
This book has a lot of great info, particularly about economy and aspects of history that may be misunderstood, or may have been completely misrepresented to us. The book is also a relatively easy read. I read it about a year ago, which was actually a little late, but even now it is still a worthwhile investment.

PCE Student Review
My favorite book is Peak by Roland Smith. Peak is the main character. Peak has not seen his long lost father because he got a divorce with Peak's mom. His dad asks him if he wants to climb Mt. Everest. Peak says yes. But the reason that he is going is because he has to. First he was climbing a NY skyscraper and people found out. So they told the Police. So then he has two decisions, 1-go to Juvey ...

Turning Less into More
The secondary title of this book--One Woman's Solutions to Finding Abundance for Your Family while Coming to Terms with Peak Oil, Climate Change and Hard Times--pretty much tells the story. This is not just another of those doom-and-gloom, batten-down-the-hatches-and-man-the-lifeboat handbooks we have seen so many of in the past few years. I've read most of those other books, and while they ...

The Long Emergency
An excellent argument that we are at or approaching the peak oil production plateau, and speculates on the drastic future we may expect. Well done. Provokes a lot of thought about how one should adapt to eventually intolerable circumstances!
Reinventing Collapse: The Soviet Example and American Prospects

Laughing All the Way to the Brink
This is a truly funny book about the collapse of a major empire. That would seem impossible, except it's true. Orlov describes exactly what it's like when the wheels stop turning inside a huge country, something most Americans probably thought very little about when we "won" the Cold War. He was quite young at the time, which probably explains why this little book has a droll, ...
