Flame of Attention Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is a penetrating collection of K's talks from Oct. '81 to Sept. of '82 given in India, England, Switzerland, and the U.S. If you have read a lot of his books, I am in agreement with "Bigfoot" - there may not be anything "new" in regards to intellectuality; however, just by reading this I stumbled...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)For years I followed Rose Dosti's Culinary SOS article in the LA Times. I however, lived in Tacoma.

If I had a way to...

It's not so detailed though that one becomes bogged down.Click Here to see more reviews about: A New Dictionary for EpiscopaliansClick here for more information about A New Dictionary for Episcopali...

I Am Grateful: Recipes and Lifestyle of Cafe Gratitude Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)One of the hardest things for me to adjust to when paring down my intake of food is the adjustment of making any kind of elaborate gourmet style meal if I need to, to making something out of almost no ingredients and not even be able to COOK IT!When I switched to primarily raw foods, my family was on...

Rough Edges: The Alleyways of North Beach Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)An outstanding and visually exciting book that provides a historical and visual look into North Beach life. The map was especially useful in walking to each site -- a fun way to spend part of a day (with book clutched in hand). For those who live too far away to search out these alleyways, the written...

Acid Dreams: The Complete Social History of LSD: The CIA, the Sixties, and Beyond Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is surprisingly one of the best books I have read. The authors give a colorfully accurate account of the events that occured decades ago, all of which still echo into our current era. It covers the origin of LSD, as a drug the CIA funded research on for use as a tool for mind control applications...

Sexual Politics, Sexual Communities Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)John D'emilio's book clearly make the point about the minority status of the homosexual in America. The start of the first organizations to promote a homosexual presents, with their naive belief that they would be excepted, to the more militant efforts in the early sixties. D'emilio has documented carefully...

The Story of Christianity: Volume 2: The Reformation to the Present Day Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)So far this book has been a really easy read. I'm not a person that enjoys reading very much but the sections are short and very informative, which works perfect for someone who doesn't want to read much for an overview. It's not the most detailed it can be but I'm not necessarily looking for thatClick...

I Want to Take You Higher: The Psychedelic Era 1965-1969 (Rock & Roll Hall of Fame & Museum) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)While I am pleased to see a postive book on hippies and psychedelics, this book is an obvious attempt to cash in on the 30th anniversity of the summer of love, 1967. While giving a general overview of the impact of psychedelic drugs in the sixties, it mainly focuses on the year 1967 and the cities of...

Ritual Abuse: What It Is, Why It Happens, and How to Help Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)There are many books today about ritual abuse. Some of them are wrtten by armchair sceptics, who, in spite of all evidence to the contrary, dismiss the whole subject as a "modern myth". Others are written by professionals who believe in the existence of ritual abuse but indeed write from a very distanced...

First-Time Landlord: Your Guide to Renting out a Single-Family Home (USA Today/Nolo Series) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I've reviewed three Nolo books now and all three have done a wonderful job of translating complicated legal mumbo-jumbo into readable material regular folks can understand. They may not replace the advice of a lawyer in my opinion, but perhaps I'm just a wimp. I was a little apprehensive of a book publisher...

How College Affects Students: A Third Decade of Research (Jossey-Bass Higher & Adult Education) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This book is a review and synthesis of literally thousands of studies on how students grow and develop during college. The authors have a gift for integrating multiple findings (even those that conflict with each other) and boiling it down to just the main conclusions and ideas. That being said, they...

On Learning and Knowledge Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)In this collection of talks and notes from his diaries Krishnamurti identifies and explores the distinction between learning and knowledge. Knowledge is past and accumulated knowledge, he says, tends to enslave you to accepted norms and ways of thinking. Learning is always in the future, it's a continually...

Secret Stairs: A Walking Guide to the Historic Staircases of Los Angeles Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)What a nice book. I live in the Echo Park district of Los Angeles, and a friend suggested this book to me. I realized I had read a novel by the author a few years ago that I really enjoyed, "The Ivory Coast" a jazz/noir set in Vegas, so I picked up a copy. Now I'm planning to take the walks written about...
