Reading through this book it is obvious that Mr. Breen knows his stuff. The concepts are clearly presented and easy to understand. Individual techniques are broken down and explained with accompanying photographs. Individual techniques are not what this book is about. Its about the big picture. Reading it has given me a lot of ideas for improving my own practice. My only serious complaint with this book was that, upon finishing it, I was left wanting more.

Better Reading FRENCH
This book is a Reader and Guide to Improving Your Understanding of Written French.
Better Reading French has been developed for English speakers who have a basic to intermediate knowledge of French and is designed to help them read French better and to encourage them to read more. To read better, we must read more. As an encouragement for beginning readers, I have organized this book according to eight areas of interest: love, writing, cuisine, music, museums and gardens, science and technology, and symbols of France and Europe. At least one of these areas should interest the reader immediately, and after that subject is explored, interest in another will follow.

In this groundbreaking book, Wierzbicka demonstrates that every language has its "key concepts" and that these key concepts reflect the core values of the culture. Further, she argues that within a culture-independent analytical framework one can study, compare, and even explain cultures to outsiders through their key concepts. The framework Wierzbicka proposes is the well-known "natural semantic metalanguage" that she developed with her colleagues. For this study, Wierzbicka focuses on four languages and cultures: Japanese, Australian English, Polish, and Russian. She identifies "culture laden" words in each of these languages; these words are, in a sense, "untranslatable." She shows, however, that the words can be "explained" by means of the semantic metalanguage's hypothetical semantic primitives such as someone, something, do, happen, want, say, know, think, good, bad , etc.

The Body Electric tells the fascinating story of our bioelectric selves. Robert O. Becker, a pioneer in the filed of regeneration and its relationship to electrical currents in living things, challenges the established mechanistic understanding of the body. He found clues to the healing process in the long-discarded theory that electricity is vital to life. But as exciting as Becker's discoveries are, pointing to the day when human limbs, spinal cords, and organs may be regenerated after they have been damaged, equally fascinating is the story of Becker's struggle to do such original work. The Body Electric explores new pathways in our understanding of evolution, acupuncture, psychic phenomena, and healing.
