5-0 out of 5 stars Great Book, Great Products!
I would first like to say, that Paul C. Bragg was born in Feb. of 1881, and died in Hawaii at the age of 96 in a surfing accident! The person who said he died of a heart attack is wrong! This book is wonderful, good recipes, great health advice, I have been using Bragg products for years and they work! Good book to add to your healthy cookbook collection.

5-0 out of 5 stars the best
This book is a must have. Great recipes. Simple and delicious! Support Braggs. They have it together!!

5-0 out of 5 stars Outstanding!
The first enchilada recipe I made was outstanding, It is hard to believe that healthy cuisine can be so simple yet so tantalizing. I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking to make a lifestyle change in the right direction- God Blesss, Andrea Lind

4-0 out of 5 stars Good for basics, not for experienced energy savers
This was excellent for the basics, and gave some good info on various energy efficient ways to heat your home such as solar power, radiant heat, etc, but otherwise pretty basic.
The last chapter gives 30 ways to be more energy efficient. Of these, the least helpful was to skip the dishwasher drying cycle, and the most helpful was a tie between sealing the HVAC ducts and getting a solar hot water heater and going DIY to save $$.
Good if you need a basic reference, not so good if you're already well on the path of saving energy. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description
Renewable energy is the key to the future of humankind.Wind power, solar (photovoltaic) energy, geothermal power, and other forms of renewables can help solve our most pressing environmental problems, including global climate change.But how do we move these promising technologies out of the laboratory and into widespread use?Renewable Energy Policy shows what public policy can—and cannot—do to help tap renewables' promise.

Renewable Energy Policy takes a pragmatic, nuts-and-bolts look at the myriad government efforts to promote renewables, and reports back on what works, what doesn't, and why.In clear, jargon-free language, Renewable Energy Policy shows how and why some policies have achieved impressive results, and others have failed. Skillfully interweaving technology, economics, and politics, Paul Komor reveals how the best of policy ideas often end up with unintended results.

If you want to know how much wind power really costs (Chapter 2), why Germany's renewables laws are "crude but effective" (Chapter 8), or the three reasons why the UK's green energy market is a flop (Chapter 4), then you need to read Renewable Energy Policy.

"Mr. Komor's writing style is both clear and engaging. This book works well as a primer for any energy analyst not already deeply involved in renewable energy policy matters or as a textbook for college courses on energy policy or renewable energy economics."
Blair G. Swezey, Principal Policy Advisor, National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Golden, CO.

5-0 out of 5 stars Very instructive and helpful
This book reviews the different ways the US, Germany and other countries have use to promote the use of renewables. From PVs to wind, and from Renewable Portfolio Standards to Green pricing... Also, this book has a very objective standpoint which makes it even more valuable.

5-0 out of 5 stars Clear, balanced writing
A clear, unbiased look at the world of Renewable Energy Policy.Required reading for anyone who wants to know how things actually work, instead of simple advocacy for renewables.

5-0 out of 5 stars Not the usual shrill advocacy
Much of the literature on renewable energy is based on exaggerated claims, simplistic analyses, and naked advocacy.Not this book, however - the author provides a refreshingly balanced and objective look at renewable technologies and policies.If you want information you can trust and believe, rather than the usual polemics, then buy this book. ...

Great assessment of the problematic situation of health and health care.Some very interesting connections between the mind. body and soul.Easy read.

2-0 out of 5 stars more of the same
Everytime I'm at the bookstore, I spot all these books about mysterious energies people can tap into. It's all gibberish fairytales.People should look at themselves first and foremost. Are you getting enough sleep, nutrition and exercise?if the answer is no to any of those then you will always be low on energy.Create a ballance between eating, exercisingand rest and you will have enough energy to do whatever you want to do. Take care of your health and it will take care of you. Ignore all these mysterious things because everything you need comes from the inside. Ignore these gibberish books from shady authors who are not in touch with reality.

5-0 out of 5 stars Energy healing has worked for me- an authoritative book
I have bought many different energy based books, and used different energy based techniques, with great results.

Quantum Touch taught me the importance of breath and how to move energy, and the principles of resonance and entrainment.EFT taught me how to release negative emotions within two minutes by tapping on specific energy points. Reiki taught me the importance of healing touch, and using Universal Life Force energy effortlessly.Matrix Energetics taught me the importance of intention, and active imagination. I could go on, Qigong, Reiki, Touch of healing, Yoga, Tibetans, Huna..

So, imagine how gratifying it is to finally read a book by a mainstream psychotherapist, who uses energy testing, and affirmation, and intention as part of the healing process. The energy practice in this book is Kinesiology discovered by Dr George Goodheart.

Here we have a book which offers a complete energy system overview, and shows the connection between energy, emotions, and intention, and how your 12 Meridian Channels are tied to specific emotions, and specific organs. Because most of what goes on inside us is unconscious, it can be difficult to even discover what the problem may be, but energy testing a specific intention, can show which organ is affected, and a simple affirmation or intention shift can cause you to test strong.

In this book your Thymus is the master switch for your energy system. If someone's heart tests weak, this is connected to the emotion of anger.Sadness, fear, guilt, anger, and depression are connected to different organs.A series of simple tests and affirmations can bring everything back into balance.

This is definitely one of the best books I have read on Energy Medicine, if not the best.

If you are new to energy medicine, I recommend you get the The Energy Medicine Kit by Donna Eden, which shows the testing being demonstrated, energy zipups and more advanced techniques, including a five minute daily routine,and Quantum-Touch: The Power to Heal (Third Edition) by Richard Gordon.

The EFT Manual (EFT: Emotional Freedom Techniques) is a simple tapping process useful for letting go of troubling emotions.Imagine easily letting go of issues such as anger, anxiety, fear, forgiveness, stress, procrastination, traumas.You can download a free manual at [...], and buy various books on Amazon.

I wonder if this review was helpful.

Keep gaining depth in a fundamental health concept introduced in "Your Body Doesn't Lie".

5-0 out of 5 stars Practical, thought-provoking, inspiring
This book has been essential for me in developing a concept of the healing force in myself and in everybody -- Life Energy, as the title succinctly puts it -- and how this force can be activated. The specific details about our emotions -- and how they relate to the acupuncture system -- are fascinating. I particularly find helpful and thought-provoking Dr. Diamond's use of etymology (the origins of words) in pinpointing and evoking emotional states. The many photographs and humorous or touching anecdotes -- all these contribute to this highly readable, very therapeutic volume. I find Dr. Diamond's affirmations and the acupuncture points, which are clearly illustrated, wonderfully helpful in creating a daily routine for health and happiness. I have gone on to read many other books by Dr. Diamond, but this one remains basic and essential. I highly reccomend this book. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description
Energy is at the heart of physics (and of huge importance to society) and yet no book exists specifically to explain it, and in simple terms. In tracking the history of energy, this book is filled with the thrill of the chase, the mystery of smoke and mirrors, and presents a fascinating human-interest story. Following the history provides a crucial aid to understanding: this book explains the intellectual revolutions required to comprehend energy, revolutions as profound as those stemming from Relativity and Quantum Theory. Texts by Descartes, Leibniz, Bernoulli, d'Alembert, Lagrange, Hamilton, Boltzmann, Clausius, Carnot and others are made accessible, and the engines of Watt and Joule are explained.

Many fascinating questions are covered, including:

- Why just kinetic and potential energies - is one more fundamental than the other?
- What are heat, temperature and action?
- What is the Hamiltonian?
- What have engines to do with physics?
- Why did the steam-engine evolve only in England?
- Why S=klogW works and why temperature is IT.

Using only a minimum of mathematics, this book explains the emergence of the modern concept of energy, in all its forms: Hamilton's mechanics and how it shaped twentieth-century physics, and the meaning of kinetic energy, potential energy, temperature, action, and entropy. It is as much an explanation of fundamental physics as a history of the fascinating discoveries that lie behind our knowledge today. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Well worth reading
'Energy- the subtle concept' is a thoroughly enjoyable and illuminating read.

It brings together the personalities who shaped the concept, and the physical processes and systems that underlay it, in a well told tale of discovery, disputes, blind alleys, rivalry and genius.

Coopersmith weaves biographical detail, historical context, philosophical commentary, experimental evidence and physical interpretation into a cleverly structured narrative that will appeal to both the scientist and the historian.

Sometimes the chronological thread is broken to follow physical concepts in more detail, sometimes the excitement of continuing with a good story is allowed to take precedence. However the author always brings the threads together into a coherent description of the systems and processes which were being uncovered, understood and eventually combined into our modern concept of energy.

Whilst 'Energy' can be enjoyed by anybody with an interest in science it lifts itself above a popular account by introducing mathematics where it's appropriate, but always firmly underpinned with a physical interpretation, and in a way that can be passed over without detracting from the story.

The contribution of the great pioneering steam engineers is not neglected, and after the major classical elements of heat and energy have been set in the context of internal molecular motion, the book concludes with the modern recognition of radiation and mass as other forms of energy.

'Energy' should find a ready place on the 'background reading' list for an undergraduate science or engineering course in thermodynamics, as well as on the History or Science shelves of the high street bookshop.

I've rated this book as 5. I'd like to encourage authors and publishers to produce more books at this level of readability, scholarship and, simply, interest.

I consider it a sign of a book worth reading (scientific or literary) where, after a while, something lights up in the mind and one goes back to re-read a section and says 'ah, yes, now I see'.

5-0 out of 5 stars Energy the subtle concept
I found this to be an EXCELLENTbook.I was hoping to encounter scholarship , erudition and insight and I did. What was unexpected was how much I enjoyed reading the book. It is written in a style reminiscent of a wise professor giving a tutorial to a small group of bright students.The approach is basically Socratic and, every now and then, there is a fleeting glimpse of a dry sense of humor.

Mathematics has been kept to a minimum.This is a strength, not a weakness of the book.Formalisms such as thermodynamics and quantum mechanics are wonderful for computing results for specific problems but they provide no insight into what's going on.The main raison d'etre of Dr. Coopersmith's book is to try to correct this.

Product Description

With The Living Energy Universe, Gary Schwartz and Linda Russek explode the popular notion that science and spirituality are forever fated to be at odds. In fact, the University of Arizona scientists' model of Universal Living Memory is permanently reconfiguring both the scientific and spiritual landscape.

Walking you through their own journey of discovery as well as introducing the research that got them there, Schwartz and Russek present stunning yet sober evidence that:

  • every idea and awareness ever experienced throughout time is still contained in the memory of the universe,
  • consciousness and the soul survive our body"s death,
  • god exists—and is evolving.

Offering new fuel for the faithful, fresh insights for the undecided and experimental evidence for the skeptical, these profound and controversial conclusions will continue to inspire new research into realms once thought beyond the domain of science.

5-0 out of 5 stars Book changed my life
I read this book when I was 18 in 2000 and it changed my life.I attended the University of Arizona just to be in one of Dr. Schwartz' classes and it was well worth it.

Once you grasp the fundamental concept this book attempts to prove scientifically; that everything is alive and conscious, relatively speaking; it may just be transformative for you as well.

Required reading for all who want to know the truth.

2-0 out of 5 stars A self-proclaimed brilliant thesis about virtually nothing
I've read more than 60 books in the past year, many of them on subjects such as this.As a result, I'm always looking for something new, different, informative, and exciting.This book was very disappointing.

In my opinion, this is 200 pages (plus two appendices of papers written by the authors) with only one new idea, which they tout and tout and tout.Frankly, the idea is nothing new.Here's how the book reads:

- We have a great new idea!
- 50 pages of "we're about to share with you a great idea!"
- 100 pages about their idea, which amounts to only a smattering of information
- 50 pages of "isn't our idea great?"
- Tons of quotes from other, more interesting books

I believe that this book should have been released as a 12-page journal article, because there's VERY LITTLE new information here.The authors present one idea: that the universe is a feedback loop.Umm...okay, what else?Essentially, they say that A influences B, and as B gives feedback to A, it provides its own character and interpretation of A's information.Yeah, big deal.

The rest of the book is mostly quotes from other far more interesting books.Clearly, the authors are well-read and highly educated (Harvard, Yale, Columbia), but they are far too proud of their small idea.You'd think they were inventing the wheel with the way they talk about it, though.To paraphrase, "If ever there were an idea worthy of serious review by scientists, this is it."Give me a break.

They also have an annoying habit of creating English acronyms for many topics: SMILE, GOD, DNA, etc.Hint: you're not as clever as you think, and the whole process becomes quickly pedantic.

You're MUCH better off reading the brilliant works of Dean Radin, Karl Pribram, Lynne McTaggart, and Robert Monroe.If you've never read anything about consciousness or how the universe is much more complex than ordinary people care to imagine, you might be fascinated by this book.If you're at all educated about these ideas, though, this book is a complete waste of time.

5-0 out of 5 stars An ideal addition to academic and community library Science Studies collections
Are science and spirituality always to be at odds with each other, offering up very different paradigms of belief? Not if you consider the premise of The Living Energy Universe: A Fundamental Discovery That Transforms Science and Medicine. From how electrons carry information which affects perception to the implications of memory, the idea of a 'universal memory' bank of data, and its influence on the universe, here's a coverage which ties up all loose ends. Informative, superbly presented, and thoroughly reader friendly, "The Living Energy Universe" is an ideal addition to academic and community library Science Studies collections and supplemental reading lists.

3-0 out of 5 stars Did not connect with the universe.
These two authors appear to be educated, both having PhDs.I liked the writing style and the composition of the book, namely the placing of reference books and authors in the text of the story as well as at the end.However, there lacked something in the book that did not lend realism to their hypothesis.It was a book that can be read to give one another view of the world and the hereafter, but it does not address the reality of what might exist.The information in the book is far below that of PhD writings.I bought the book expecting more than I got and I can see why used books are so much less than those that are new.I would not recommend this book, unless you can pick it up for 50 cents at a book sale.

5-0 out of 5 stars One of the most Fundamental Discoveries of our Time!
If Science is not your strong point do not worry, this book offers important explanations on the possibility of our continuing life form that anyone can understand. This is a must read for anyone looking to answer our biggest question of all time, is there an afterlife? ... Read more

This is the best science book on the food chain that I have ever found.I fell in love with it and bought it for several peopleThis book tells very gently, using very pleasing language in rhyme, what everything needs to live and why.The illustrations are beautiful and detailed. It has some repetitive language that is so pleasing to read.For example:

"Passing the energy needed to live
is a difficult gift for a creature to give.
but a chain unbroken along the way
links life in the meadow from day to day."

This book would be wonderful in every classroom. A beautiful, must have book.

Product Description
THERE IS NO MAGIC
IF THERE IS NO ENERGY

Magic is more than words, gestures and visualization. The definition of magic:" to bring about change in conformity to will" calls for change to be made in a situation. Change requires energy.

Energy in, Change out

Yes, you can input some energy through the burning of candles and incense, and the 'sacrifice' of other material forms, but the real foundation for magical success comes from the ability of the magician to channel energy from its ultimate source. That energy flows through the magician to be expressed and transformed guided by his focused intent.

This new book, Energy for Life, not only teaches the reader how to tap into the Universal Life Force but the accompanying audio CD enables the user to do so through expertly crafted guided meditation 'carried' into the user's deep unconscious by specially composed musical accompaniment.

5-0 out of 5 stars Worth 20k Times Its Weight in Gold
As a professional comprehensive healing practitioner I have read hundreds upon hundreds of resources, always seeking out key elements and information written in layman's terms to share with clients, resources that help clients empower themselves. Let me tell you, they are hard to come by!

I bought Colleen Deatsman's book and read it cover to cover, then went through it again and applied every single exercise, meditation, etc., doing so from a client's point of view. Was this something I could easily and without reservation recommend to clients? Was this a resource the average person could read, understand, and apply with ease? Astoundingly, throughout the entire book, through each and every method shared by Colleen, the answer is an astounding "YES!" to every question. This is _the_ book I had been looking for. (My only complaint, and it's a small one, is the section on Energy Cord Cutting. Because of my work and research with energy cords, I have discovered that pulling and other non-cutting methods tend to be safer and more effective. - Sorry, Colleen! =p)

Because of the amazing benefits of applying Colleen's knowledge I have seen incredible results, with myself, and with clients. Numerous clients who have purchased this title have written or called afterward to tell me of their amazing results, especially when combined with treatment from an esoteric energy practitioner.

This has become the **number one book** (and CD) I recommend to clients, colleagues, family, and friends. "Energy for Life" is worth 20,000 times its weight in gold. It is a must-have resource for anyone in the healing arts, and for those simply looking for result-oriented methods they can easily apply themselves, in the comfort of their own homes.

3-0 out of 5 stars Good, but not what I expected
This is a book full of exercises dealing with energy, visualizations and so on. If that's what you were looking for, great; this is the book for you. But I was looking instead for a book not so "practical", but rather focusing on a better general management of your energy, so as to keep always in control of your energy level and prevent getting depleted when you are tired, or get suddenly angry, for instance.
I guess I will have to keep looking for that other book. Anyway, this book could be of help to you if what you are looking for is a daily exercise programto keep "fitness", energetically speaking.

5-0 out of 5 stars Energy for Life

"Energy for Life" is a very valuable resource for those of you looking for ways to activate your energy. So many of us are stressed out from having to figure out how to survive in today's world.

Colleen Deatsman teaches us how to thrive and not just survive. She brilliantly teaches what energy is, how to activate your own life-force energy, release blockages, stop energy leakages, and connect with the source of life.

I really appreciate how Collen takes some complex metaphysical concepts and can speak about them in a way that is easy to follow showing us how to work with energy on a day to day level in our lives.

I also appreciate her own journey as "a wounded healer". For she overcame chronic illness using the techniques she shares in her book. She knows the path that we must all walk on our healing journey.

I highly recommend this book to learn how to rejuvenate and heal. She also included a CD of guided meditations which are simple and relaxing to work with.

All in all "Energy for Life" is a gift for all of us living in today's world. It's well written, easy to follow, engaging and gives us practical ways to change our health as well as our lives.

5-0 out of 5 stars Big Thumbs Up
I am interested in energy work from a metaphysical standpoint but that should not stop anyone else who is interested in raising their energy levels and getting connected with their center core.One just needs an open mind not a religious affiliation or context to benefit from the information contained within.

The CD was amazing although I wish there were other mediations from the book that could have been added to the CD which would have made this package out of this world.

As with anything else, meditations differ from person to person, I tend to prefer the more concise practices rather than the drag me out 40 minute editions which one does not always have time for.Thank goodness of the 5 meditations only one was longer than 20 minutes and it turned out to be my least favorite anyway.

Overall this book and CD are worth the price.

5-0 out of 5 stars An amazing book.
An amazing explination of energy and how to stay connected and energized in our lives.One of the best written books on the subject I have ever seen.An absolute must for any healer, lightworker, shaman, or just anyone who wants to learn valuable techniques for taking control of your life and claiming all the power that is yours. ...

Product Description

Energy transitions are fundamental processes behind the evolution of human societies: they both drive and are driven by technical, economic, and social changes. In a bold and provocative argument, Energy Transitions: History, Requirements, Prospects describes the history of modern society's dependence on fossil fuels and the prospects for the transition to a nonfossil world. Vaclav Smil, who has published more on various aspects of energy than any working scientist, makes it clear that this transition will not be accomplished easily, and that it cannot be accomplished within the timetables established by the Obama administration.

The book begins with a survey of the basic properties of modern energy systems. It then offers detailed explanations of universal patterns of energy transitions, the peculiarities of changing energy use in the world's leading economies, and the coming shifts from fossil fuels to renewable conversions. Specific cases of these transitions are analyzed for eight of the world's leading energy consumers. The author closes with perspectives on the nature and pace of the coming energy transition to renewable conversions.

Product Description
Reiki is an ancient, hands-on healing art with origins inthe Tibetan sutras. It has been used primarily by individuals in adaily practice that helps recharge, realign, and rebalance energy inthe body. Today Reiki is joining other complementary therapies in theconventional settings of hospitals, hospices, counseling centers,emergency rooms, intensive care units. Nurses, physical therapists,surgeons, midwives, and anesthetists report that Reiki can help managepain and promote healing. Counselors and caregivers treating thosewith terminal illness find that Reiki gives patients an increasedphysical, emotional, and psychological ability to cope. Reiki EnergyMedicine explains the body's energy system, and describes how Reikican be used in a variety of settings to balance energy and create theconditions needed for healing.

Reiki Energy Medicine is the first book to show how this ancient artof touch therapy can work within our mainstream health care system.

As our health-care system challenges institutions to offerhigh-quality but cost-effective service, Reiki can be an importanttool that can help maximize patient care and minimize recovery time.

Reiki does not require complicated techniques or extensive training:practitioners of many disciplines are able to easily incorporate itinto their specialties. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Very useful book.
This book covers how Reiki in used in a number of different settings and has many useful ways of thinking that has inspired me to use Reiki.It tells many stories of how useful Reiki has been for a number of people and how Reiki is becoming more and more helpful with healing peoples' health issues.

3-0 out of 5 stars review
Book was pretty good and had a lot of optimistic visions for the future of reiki integrating with western medicine.Makes me want to read more about reiki.

3-0 out of 5 stars If you are attracted to this book, buy it.
This book is an easy read.It is not a detailed instruction manual on Reiki, in fact it doesn't give too much information away at all.The book talks about what Reiki is and, what surprised me, is how much the practice is utilized in human medicine, hospice etc...I had no idea how main stream the practice has become.The book packed with anecdotal support for the healing benefits of Reiki.The contents are well organized and she makes her points quickly.I picked up the book because I was taking Libby Barnett's Reiki level 1 and 2 courses and wanted to familiarize myself with her and her book.If you need further convincing that Reiki has a place in human medicine and supportive care pick up this book. After taking her course I'll be using Reiki on my small animal patients.

5-0 out of 5 stars An excellent book for health professionals and everyone
Reiki is a form of Energy Medicine. The Japanese compound word Reiki means Universal Energy and is equivalent to the Chi of Chinese and the Prana of Indians. In this book, "Reiki Energy Medicine Bringing Healing Touch into Home, Hospital and Hospice", the authors Libby Barnett and Maggie Chambers, Reiki Masters, give us a number of areas where the Reiki healing touch can be applied with advantage. They give a good number of case studies and examples from their extensive health-related professional experience spread over years. Libby is a Medical Social Worker and Maggie is an artist who works with handicapped children. Both found Reiki to be useful in a number of situations. In collaboration with Susan Davidson, who helped the book to be edited into a highly readable account of Reiki, they succeed in getting the message through that Reiki as an adjunt to all other medical systems can improve the healing process effectively. Reiki is intelligent and it is the receipient who receives as much or as little as one needs and uses it for the highest good. Thus, it is not to be construed as a panacea, but it should be offered with unconditional love. I especially liked their comment that Reiki is not only Universal Energy but is also Universal / unconditional love. They also bring out an important point that Reiki should be welcomed by all other medical systems and the insurance firms since it doesn't interfere with their working and helps in bringing down the medicare costs.

The book gives a short introduction to Reiki but concentrates more on the applications of Reiki in the health field. The emphasis through out is on touch. The Appendices give the hand positions for self Reiki and for giving Reiki to others. The other aspects of Reiki which enable distance healing, programming etc., which do not involve touch have not been covered.

I recommend this book to all those who are interested in the use of Reiki in the health field.

5-0 out of 5 stars Learn all you can about Reiki--this is an excellent start!
Reiki Energy Medicine is a motivator to learn Reiki, which is a Great thing because I can honestly say from my own personal experience, now that I have received attunement, that it WORKS.The authors write with the "Spirit" which just corroborates to me that Reiki is Holy and altogether Powerful.I am a Christian and love and celebrate Jesus every day of my life.Furthermore I have always been a woman of prayer.Reiki brings my faith full circle because it is tangible proof to my heart and soul that God's unconditional love can heal you if you will receive it. What is so awesome about Reiki is that it works regardless of your beliefs! No religious belief is required to receive Reiki healing.
One of the best things about Reiki that I learned from this book is that "The Reiki process hightlights the truth about healing: that the power and the responsibility for healing lie within the individual.The Reiki practitioner brings intention and commitment to the process, acting as a compassionate conduit for the universal life force, but the practitioner does not DO the healing for the client.The healing happens as a result of the relationship between the receiver's energy field and the universal energy field, mediated through the cellular consciousness of the receiver.Reiki enpowers the receiver to do the healing that needs to be done on all levels of being."
The chapters included are: 1 Universal Life Force: The Fundamental Principle of Health, 2 The Unique Power of Reiki, 3 Self-Reiki: Caring for the Caregiver, 4 A Progressive Approach to Wellness, 5 Visions for the Future: Reiki and the Partnership Model of Care.Also included are appendixes with diagrams for self treatment and treatment upon others.
Important note: You really need to look into this book but I would recommend getting an attunement first of which are available at amazon in the form of vhs and dvds.Then you can add to what you've already learned, thus fully enjoy and understand this book.The information here is NOT going to teach you Reiki if you first haven't been attuned.I give this book five stars because it mentions this fact in the text early on.
Closing quote: "Reiki meets us where we are and gently moves us forward, providing support for doing the work we were born to do.Reiki helps us know our purpose and manifest it with strength, vitality and ease.o8E

Product Description
Up until now the use of zero point energy (ZPE) for electricity generation was mere fantasy and science fiction. No one thought it possible for ZPE to offer a source of unlimited energy for homes, cars, and space travel. Some experts still say zero point energy can do nothing useful. The experimental evidence however, now incontrovertibly shows that ZPE is present in measurable quantities in coils and semiconductors. Furthermore, ZPE can be turned on and off, produce an attractive or repulsive force in one direction, besides moving electrons to create electricity flow in a circuit and rectified in semiconductor diodes. All of these discoveries have been made and published only in the past few years, which indicates that future energy trend is toward ZPE power. Zero point energy is the sea of energy that pervades all of space and every atom, often called the physical vacuum. Furthermore, it is estimated to exceed nuclear energy densities. But what is it really? It is the nonthermal, kinetic energy retained by the molecules of a substance at a temperature of absolute zero. Still most people maintain their doubt as to whether it can be found to be useful for human energy needs. This includes the US Department of Energy Ask a Scientist© official website. A fifteen-year old submitted a question, Would Zero-Point Energy be a better source of power than Antimatter? The answers include phrases like a lousy source of energy, no idea how to do this, I can t imagine how it could be practical, and no way to extract the zero point energy from a molecule in order to use it (Department of Energy). The evidence so far is in favor of a nonconservative ZPF, with arguments still raging on both sides. In addition, the capability of ZPF storage and retrieval has convincingly been presented by Dr. Robert Forward with his ZPE corkscrew charge device he called a vacuum-fluctuation battery. An article entitled, Energy Unlimited was published a few years ago when Professor Jordan Maclay from the University of Illinois received a NASA grant to try to extract ZPE from elongated, oscillating, tiny metal boxes. A physics journal article points out, Vacuum fluctuations remain a matter of debate, mainly because their energy is infinite. More strikingly, their energy per unit volume is infinite. ... Read more

If you want to more about the theory behind it this is a good book to learn more and understand better the idea. Still for me it was not easy to read but that is because I have no further knowledge of science

2-0 out of 5 stars The web rules!
If you have web access, and who doesn't nowadays, this book will be old hat. Everything discussed in this book and more is available on the web, so, unless you want it for your collection it is not a "must-have".

5-0 out of 5 stars A Very Significant Contribution to the Zero-Point Energy Field
Dr. Tom Valone has done an excellent job creating this overview of selected new Zero Point Energy Technologies. With his rich background in the US Patent Office, plus his intimate associations with many leading-edge researchers, he has successfully distilled these new concepts into a well-organized and clear format. For those wishing to enrich their knowledge of these new theories and inventions,Tom has provided the basic reference material, as well as advanced reference sources for those who wish to delve deeper into the new physics associated with these concepts. Tom's many years of in-depth scientific knowledge and intimate association with key researchers gives him the credientials as a world leader in the field of Alternative Energy. This experience is clearly reflected in his writing and perspective of the various new technologies and devices. Highly recommended! Elliott Maynard, Arcos Cielos Research Center, Sedona, Arizona.

1-0 out of 5 stars What's next: Al Gore discovers ZPE?
The fact that Al Gore is even mentioned, along with the casual statements on global warming (as though everyone knows global warming is a proven fact) renders all other information in this book as near useless.If such liberties are taken with one section, all sections are suspect.

If Mr. Valone can not write a scientifically based book without adding his unwanted political views, he should try authoring books on socialism, where he can express his beliefs on the evils of a capitalistic society (the real target of global warming enthusiasts) and speak lovingly of Al Gore.

Science is based on provable facts.

5-0 out of 5 stars Electromagnetic radiation Transducer of Vacuum Energy
1. What is Zero Point Energy?Zero Point energy is energy that comprises the Zero Point field.Dr. Fred Wolf says, "No matter how cool we make the chamber as we compress the gas, we would find that we could not obtain total order.Greater confinement of each molecule would produce, according to the uncertainty principle, a greater uncertainty in its possible speed and therefore less certainty about its individual behavior.Even though it temperature was reduced to absolute zero, the molecules would still continue to move.Each molecule, however, would no longer be about to occupy a single position at a single time.Instead each would spread out throughout the whole volume of the chamber."
2. Space is rich with activity from virtual particles and full of energy.
3. A famous experiment cooled helium to within microdegrees of absolute zero temperature (-272 C and -273 C). Amazingly, it still remained liquid.
4. Dr. Robert Forward, if ZPE is not conservative, then we can extract an infinite amount of energy.Evidence seems to favor nonconservative ZPF.Dr. Milonni says, the ZPE of a vacuum is infinite in any finite volume.
5. High energy density means tiny wavelength vibration at high frequency.The estimated energy for a limited ZPF is astonishing.
6. Richard Feynman, calculated the energy density of ZPF, the size of a proton would be ten raised to 108th power joules per cubic centimeter.If we convert energy to mass using E=MC^2, we find ten raised to 94 power of grams per cubic centimeter.Space itself contains more energy than matter does for any given volume.
7. Dr. Fabrizo Pinto indicates that the vacuum has pressure, density, and substance.It can move physical objects under certain conditions, the Casimir Engine.
8. Quantum Electrodynamics predicts that the vacuum spawns particles that spontaneously pop in and out of existence.The virtual particles are created from quantum foam and believed to extend through the universe.
9. The electron can be knocked out orbit given sufficient energy, 1.2 million electron volts, leaving a hole with an opposite charge and mass, a positron.
10. 1997, the Casimir force from the ZPE was measured by Los Alamos Laboratory and to be within 5% agreement with theory.
11. The constant virtual particle flux of the ZPE is especially noticeable near the boundaries of bigger particles, because the intense electric field gradient causes a more prodigious decay of the vacuum.The decay of the vacuum will occur spontaneously, giving birth to electrons and positrons.Virtual particles are more likely to become real, or appear out of the vacuum, near the boundary of charged particles and even near the nuclei of atoms.
12. Every charged particle drags around with it a cloud of virtual particles.
13. The electromagnetic and light pervade everything in the universe.
14. All Electromagnetic energy is manufactured from electrons in upper energy levels of atoms as they drop to lower levels and re-radiate that energy difference.
15. Small spheres are desired to create high frequency resonating EMF.Third power cube of the frequency - increase in energy density of ZPE by decreasing size.Ideal is a proton stuck to a neutron.The converter needs to be small.Cold fusion uses deuterons and deuterium, small converters.
16. The existence of a radiation impedance for the electromagnetic radiation from an oscillating charge is show to imply a fluctuating electric field in the vaccum, and application of the general theorem yields the Planck radiation law. The average energy for ZPE is equal t the summation over all available frequencies times R.
17. The Quantum vacuum must fluctuate.When the size of the cavity surrounding an excited atom is increased to the point where it matches the wavelength of the photon that the atom would naturally emit, vacuum field fluctuations at that wavelength flood the cavity and become strong than they would be in free space, temporarily increasing the Casimir force.
18. Dr Pinto says, "the normalized energy density of the radiation field of virtual protons is drastically affected by the dielectric properties of all media involved via the source-free Maxwell equations."The absolute value of the vacuum energy can change just by causing energy to flow from a location to another inside the volume V. It is possible then to create a transducer of vacuum energy. If vacuum energy is not conserved the energy potential is infinite.Electromagnetic radiation or heat is converted into mechanical or electrical energy.Energy production is thought to be 1Kw/M square

Product Description
Human survival depends on a continuing energy supply, but the need for ever-increasing amounts of energy poses a dilemma: How can we provide the benefits of energy to the population of the globe without damaging the environment, negatively affecting social stability, or threatening the well-being of future generations? The solution will lie in finding sustainable energy sources and more efficient means of converting and utilizing energy. This textbook is designed for advanced undergraduate and graduate students as well as others who have an interest in exploring energy resource options and technologies with a view toward achieving sustainability. It clearly presents the trade-offs and uncertainties inherent in evaluating and choosing different energy options and provides a framework for assessing policy solutions.

Sustainable Energy includes illustrative examples, problems, references for further reading, and links to relevant Web sites. Outside the classroom, the book is a resource for government, industry, and nonprofit organizations. The first six chapters provide the tools for making informed energy choices. They examine the broader aspects of energy use, including resource estimation, environmental effects, and economic evaluations. Chapters 7-15 review the main energy sources of today and tomorrow, including fossil fuels, nuclear power, biomass, geothermal energy, hydropower, wind energy, and solar energy, examining their technologies, environmental impacts, and economics. The remaining chapters treat energy storage, transmission, and distribution; the electric power sector; transportation; industrial energy usage; commercial and residential buildings; and synergistic complex systems. Sustainable Energy addresses the challenges of integrating diverse factors and the importance for future generations of the energy choices we make today. ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars Extremely useful reference, if a bit dated
I've been working in the energy field for the past few years, and this is one of the few references I've found that describes all of our energy options with real depth.Information is well organized and systematically laid out.The book is, as others have pointed out, unfortunately already outdated.

2-0 out of 5 stars Dated, horrible mess of a book
This just goes to show that even though you might have a dozen authors from MIT, they still can't manage to write a coherent, readable book. The organization of the book is horrible, with hardly any sub-sections and massive blocks of text--this makes it almost impossible to find the information you're looking for without digging through the index. The ordering of the chapters is haphazard and they range in quality from extremely basic to completely esoteric. I would strongly recommend against using this book if at all possible, as there are better written, more contemporary works available that address this subject.

5-0 out of 5 stars THE sports nutrition must-have
I'm a Registered Dietitian who sees clients for sports nutrition, training, and competitive athletic events. Reading Energy to Burn helps them overcome barriers and meet their training targets. A must read.

4-0 out of 5 stars Annoying but helpful
This book has a lot of good information and is presented in a very clear and concise manner.It is worth reading.However, at times the book feels like an advertisement for PowerBar products.The authors also had the worst editors ever proofreading their book.If misspellings, poor grammar, and calculation errors in books really bother you I would recommend trying other material.There has to be close to an error per page.I'm exaggerating, but probably not by much.

5-0 out of 5 stars Smart, simply stated and packed with helpful tips.
This is not one of those shiny covered books with big promises and confusing data.Nor do you have to eliminate your favorite snacks or an entire food group.It's a book of guidelines and methodologies supported by research and written by qualified specialists in sports nutrition. And it's an interesting read.Thanks for sharing with us you smart ladies. ... Read more

Product Description
Maynard Murray was a medical doctor who researched the crucial importance of minerals - especially trace elements - to plants and animals. Beginning in 1938 and continuing through the 1950s, Dr. Murray used sea solids - mineral salts remaining after water is evaporated from ocean water - as fertilizer on a variety of vegetables, fruits and grains. His extensive experiments demonstrated repeatedly and conclusively that plants fertilized with sea solids and animals fed sea-solid-fertilized feeds grow stronger and more resistant to disease.

Sea Energy Agriculture recounts Murray's experiments and presents his astounding conclusions. The work of this eco-pioneer was largely ignored during his lifetime, and his book became a lost classic - out-of-print for more than 25 years. Now this rare volume is once again available, with a new foreward and afterword by the founder of Acres U.S.A., Charles Walters. ... Read more
