Seeds of Deception: Exposing Industry and Government Lies About the Safety of the Genetically Engineered ... 30 reviews
Jeffrey M. Smith
Yes! Books, 2003
You Are What You Eat, This is Food for Thought
A decade ago, what we ate wasn't on the radar of most people. The musings of a few hermits, a handful of anti-government critics and your garden variety assortment of conspiracy theorists and crazy people was all that one had when it came a debate on whats being done to our nation's food supply.
Thats why Seeds of Deception is such a welcome addition to my bookshelf. For the first time there ...

Geri Larkin
HarperOne, 2008
A Book About Pulling Weeds in Your Yard -- and in Your Spiritual Approach to a Better Life
Geri Larkin's life has taken her from the heights of American business to the simplicity of Buddhist practice. She began her career as a jet-setting business consultant -- and is ending it as a sort of free-lance teacher and landscape consultant living in a tiny home in the Pacific Northwest.

Seed to Seed: Seed Saving and Growing Techniques for Vegetable Gardeners31 reviews
Suzanne Ashworth, Kent Whealy
Seed Savers Exchange, 2002
Very Great Book
This book is a perfect reference for anyone interested in seed saving from vegetables. I purchased this book not knowing a single thing about seed saving and have learned heaps of useful knowledge from it. This is truly THE essential book for seed saving, but the majority of the content in this book is most likely to be used as reference for when the time for implementing the ideas approaches. ...

The Carrot Seed 60th Anniversary Edition35 reviews
Ruth Krauss
HarperCollins, 1989
Good teaching! We all have our own "truth"... believe in yours!
This is a book for the young, but it is also a good book for the parents and everyone in between.
I had this book w/record when I was a little girl and the meaning behind this very small simple book came to mind many times through my life... (middle aged now) It resonated with me because I perceived my family didn't believe in me, didn't think I would amount to anything, treated me as if I was ...

Seeds of Destruction: The Hidden Agenda of Genetic Manipulation8 reviews
William F. Engdahl
Global Research, 2007
Most Important Book of this New Century
This is my first Amazon.com book review and it is this book, Seeds of Destruction, that finally moved me to write such a review.
I have purchased literally thousands of dollars worth of books from Amazon.com alone and I find this book, Seeds of Destruction, is THE most important book I have come across.
I haven't read the entire book yet, but from what I have read so far (especially the ...

New Seeds of Contemplation46 reviews
Thomas Merton
New Directions, 2007
A Modern Classic?
There is so much wisdom packed into this book - it is a pleasure to follow Merton's nuanced and penetrating mind into the depth of the Christian faith. I particularly enjoyed the introductory chapters on the nature of contemplation, the "moral theology of the devil" and "the woman clothed in the sun". You may also enjoy Merton's "Ascent to Truth" and "The Inner Experience". May you be inspired ...

Albion's Seed: Four British Folkways in America (America: a Cultural History)86 reviews
David Hackett Fischer
Oxford University Press, USA, 1989
Non-professional appreciation
I'm not an historian nor cultural anthropologist, but I could not put this interesting and even exciting book down. Oh my! And yes, yes, I will endure arthritis in my hands for a few more weeks, need new batteries for the night-light, and have a permanent dent in my stomach where the book rested, but the whole experience was well worth it. Too bad there is not a rating higher than five stars.

Seed Sowing and Saving: Step-by-Step Techniques for Collecting and Growing More Than 100 Vegetables, Flowers, ...7 reviews
Carole B. Turner
Storey Publishing, LLC, 1998
my review
I liked the fact that this book not only contained information on saving & sowing seeds for EACH type of flower of vegetable, but also contained info about starting seeds in general. It contains VERY, VERY, VERY useful info. I thought I was an advanced gardener, but I learned some things from this book.

Seeds of Change: Six Plants That Transformed Mankind 12 reviews
Henry Hobhouse
Shoemaker & Hoard, 2005
An insightful book
I havn't read this book in a while but came across an editorial by Hobhouse recently and I thought I'd check to see if it's still in print. I recall some rather strange notions about our 'current' lack of fiber in our diet and the dire effect it may have, but in most areas where he dosn't range too far afield it's a good read. A reader above found the book racist but I don't recall anything ...

A Seed Is Sleepy6 reviews
Dianna Hutts Aston
Chronicle Books, 2007
Genius.
Sometimes a book is so lovely, it is difficult to review. You just want to throw a bunch of words out, like, "stunning," "superb," "gorgeous," and "accomplished." There. I'm done. No? Okay, then, on with the review.
Dianna Hutts Aston and Sylvia Long team up again after their Cybils Non-Fiction Award-winning "An Egg is Quiet." Now I know what all the fuss is about. Aston takes a ...

Saving Seeds: The Gardener's Guide to Growing and Storing Vegetable and Flower Seeds (A Down-to-Earth ...8 reviews
Marc Rogers
Storey Publishing, LLC, 1991
Saving Money
It is hard to justify spending money on anything when you live in poverty, but I thought that this book may pay for itself. I was right. I have only had it for a few months, and already it has helped me to grow enough food to pay for itself. My plan is to completely stop buying seeds within 3 years, and if all of the points in this book work as good as the ones that I have already used I see ...

The Lotus Seed12 reviews
Sherry Garland
Voyager Books, 1997
A wonderful book
This has to be one of my favorite children's books and being a soon to be teacher I have read a lot of children's books. One of the reasons it's my favorite is that it touches a subject that is close to my heart, the Vietnamese culture. My mom came to America after the Vietnam war with my sister who was 5 and brother who was 1. I never knew how important the lotus seed could be, but growing up I ...

What is a GMO?
Most of us do not know what Genetically Modified Organisms are, let alone that they have been added to our diet, with potentially deadly results. As major food corporations have attempted to play God with our food supply, all in the name of more profits, they have made consumers their guinea pigs. Learn how these GMO's have not been thoroughly tested for long term affects on humans, yet have ...

How a Seed Grows (Spanish edition): Como crece una semilla (Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science 1)7 reviews
Helene J. Jordan
Rayo, 2006
My five year old enjoyed this book
We enjoy the "Let's - Read - & - Find - Out" series of books. This one is a good addition, explaining seeds on my five year old son's level of understanding . Something that many adult writers of childrens' science books sometimes aren't very good at getting across. It is in my child's library at school. The books in this series are informative and interesting for their target audiences. The ...

Quality Book with Excellent Directions
Want to learn how to properly use seed beads for designs that can be uniquely yours - GET THIS BOOK FIRST. Learn the patterns and yes, even like this author (including myself) you may want to throw your early attempts across the room. But keep at it. Once you master even a few basic stitches through the author's guidance and your determination, I am certain all can readily design their own ...

Getting Started with Seed Beads (Getting Started series)10 reviews
Dustin Wedekind
Interweave Press, 2007
As good as it gets!
The title of this book should really be "Getting Started AND Continuing with Seed Beads!" The book has everything a beginning beader needs to not only get started, but to successfully complete the projects. I'm NOT a beginning beader but I've still found many of the projects to be ones I want to make--and I have.
Directions are terrific; diagrams are terrific, and the projects are things ...
