| 1081. Never Cry Wolf : Amazing True Story of Life Among Arctic Wolves | |
|
by: Farley Mowat List Price: $12.95 Amazon.com's Price: $10.36 You Save: $2.59 (20%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description Though Mowat's experience with wolves occurred over 30 years ago, it managed to captivate my interest and provide me additional insight to a species I am very concerned about. As a short novel, I wasn't sure whether Mowat intended his narrative to be that of a scientific account or a "coming to terms" with the human/wolf spiritual experience. Either way, it was in parts both vastly entertaining as well as intellectually well-grounded and thoughtful. Anyone concerned about the constant perpetuation ...

by: David Icke List Price: $29.95 Amazon.com's Price: $20.37 You Save: $9.58 (32%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description David Icke is one of the most controversial "conspiracy theorists" in the world. He has both a dedicated following and some influential enemies who do their best to silence him. Some criticize him for not being original. True, most of his ideas can be found elsewhere, but he has an exceptional ability to synthesize theories and explain them in an easy to understand and entertaining style. He also draws a lot from contemporary culture, especially movies, as with his use of the term "matrix" to describe ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

| 1084. Weapons of Mass Deception: The Uses of Propaganda in Bush's War on Iraq | |
|
by: Sheldon Rampton, John Stauber List Price: $11.95 Amazon.com's Price: $9.56 You Save: $2.39 (20%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description This book makes me think, "Why bother." WMD was written by two experts on the use of propaganda. They do a thorough job of exposing the lies and manipulation used by the Bush administration to "sell" the war against Iraq. The authors chronicle every thing from the administration's intent to conduct a regime change when Bush first took office to the administration's ignoring critical evidence that tended to show that Iraq was not a threat to the US. The authors are careful in this book not to take sides or ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

| 1085. Start Where You Are : A Guide to Compassionate Living (Shambhala Classics) | |
|
by: PEMA CHODRON List Price: $12.95 Amazon.com's Price: $10.36 You Save: $2.59 (20%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description I read this book after first reading Pema Chodron's more recent dharma book, WHEN THINGS FALL APART (1997). In both of her books, Chodron explains that life's obstacles are actually fine opportunities for wakefulness. I recommend both books, despite their overlap in subject matter. Working with numerous lojong "slogans," this book is about awakening one's heart through tonglen meditation practice. Chodron writes in the Preface of her book, "if you have ever wondered how to awaken your genuine compassionate ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

by: Randall Robinson List Price: $23.95 Amazon.com's Price: $16.77 You Save: $7.18 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description Randall Robinson is a distinguished author, realist and American. He is also visibly of African descent, and that part of his heritage informs his thinking, acting, and existance as an American. Robinson sums up his discontents with American society well, although he sometimes wanders along when he could be sprinting. He points out clearly the attractions of a society which functions more like the society he wants in America but cannot find. Robinson's book is another testament to the negative effects of racism in our ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

| 1087. Madrigal's Magic Key to Spanish | |
|
by: Margarita Madrigal, Andy Warhol List Price: $12.95 Amazon.com's Price: $10.36 You Save: $2.59 (20%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description This book is loaded with great info on vocabulary-building, grammar, verb-conjugation, usage, etc. even though it was originally written in the 1950's. But what makes this book stand out for me is the "magic key" that Madrigal provides that allows one to derive or intelligently "guess" hundreds and hundreds of words, including verbs, based on words you already know in English which can be converted into Spanish with little to no modification following a few basic rules. It's actually AMAZING! In addition to the "magic key" ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

| 1088. How to Do Your Own Divorce in Texas | |
|
by: Ed Sherman List Price: $29.95 Amazon.com's Price: $20.37 You Save: $9.58 (32%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description Much of the advice in this book is incomplete, outdated, or misleading. After spending many hours attempting to use these forms to do my own divorce, I was tossed out of court by a rather displeased judge, and wound up hiring an attorney to re-do everything anyway. This might be a good reference for someone who is thinking about getting a divorce and curious about what the process is like and what is involved, but for actually using it to go to court by yourself, I can't recommend it. It caused me one heck of a headache. Read Reviews and Description

by: Marion Nestle List Price: $15.95 Amazon.com's Price: $11.17 You Save: $4.78 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description Nutrition expert Marion Nestle's "Food Politics" explains how the formula for a healthy diet hasn't changed. She advises that one should eat more plant-based foods (fruits, vegetables and whole grains) and less meat, dairy and sweets. But this message collides with the interests of the food-industrial complex, which makes the bulk of its profits by selling relatively expensive processed foods. The book examines how corporations have successfully fought the health message by using a number of overt and covert tactics to further their objectives ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

| 1090. Donnie Brasco: My Undercover Life in the Mafia | |
|
by: Joseph D. Pistone Amazon.com's Price: $7.99 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description I had seen Donnie Brasco the movie several years ago, and I did not enjoy it at all. It depicted the bureau as an agency which does not care about it's own. This however is very untrue, and former Special Agent Joseph D. Pistone describes how much the FBI cares for it's own in Donnie Brasco: My Undercover Life in the Mafia, very well. Pistone not only describes the bureau accurately, but goes on to describe the Italian Mafia just as well. This is a great book to read, and you won't regret reading it. If you have read this book and have enjoyed it, ... Read More Read Reviews and Description
