Apocalypse 2012: An Investigation into Civilization's End
Lawrence E. Joseph
Broadway
, 2008
Disparate sources, cultures, and disciplines all predict doom. How can we intellectually ignore it?
I won't say that I'm a total believer in the 2012 Apocalypse, but Lawrence Joseph paints a picture that extremely well researched, comprehensive, and incredibly convincing. There are multiple levels of research, but for the most part they fall into three categories: ...

Lynne Truss
Putnam Juvenile

Commas and apostrophes aren?t the only punctuation marks that can cause big trouble if they?re put in the wrong place.

Angels Within Us: A Spiritual Guide to the Twenty-Two Angels That Govern Our Lives
John Randolph Price
Ballantine Books
, 1993
This is a powerful book.. . .
It isn't often that I am so strongly "led" to a book, but I kid you not - I felt 'wings' fluttering, couldn't get the title image out of my mind, and saw a colorful light emerging from this book when I opened the cover almost seven years ago. I still actively work with ...

,
Viktor Deak

Yale University Press
, 2007
Interpreting facial details in reconstructions
This is a marvelous book and I will not give it fewer than 5 stars, despite my small criticism of it, which is that many of the reconstructions seem to closely resemble chimpanzees or gorillas until we get to the genus Homo when, voila!, they start to resemble people. ...

Nephilim Stargates: The Year 2012 and the Return of the Watchers
Thomas Horn
Anomalos Publishing
, 2007
Finally an intelligent scholar addresses the "under the rug" Biblical warnings...
I can't imagine a better time for this book to be released. Skeptics beware! Tom's findings are extremely well-founded and researched. I was skeptical at first, and being the kind of independant person who thinks for myself and bases my own theories on my OWN ...
Urban Tantra: Sacred Sex for the Twenty-first Century
Barbara Carrellas
Celestial Arts
, 2007
Cosmic Orgasms, What More Could You Ask For?
This is a very excellent book that brings the reader into a deeper spiritual connection with their sexuality; and I do mean spiritual connection, not to be confused with religious connections. The best thing about this book is its openness, it caters to no single ...

The Human Experiment: Two Years and Twenty Minutes Inside Biosphere 2
Jane Poynter
Basic Books
, 2006
Poynter's life before, during and after living in a fishbowl - fascinating
I found the Jayne Poynter's book to be very interesting both for her personal "lead up" to how she came to be on the Biosphere crew, as well as the drama of the 2 years inside -- all the problems they had, both technically and psychologically. It's too bad the ...
