IEE Wiring Regulations 17th Edition : (BS 7671: 2008)

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Scientific- Technical and Medical
by: Institution of Engineering & Technology

January 21, 2008
A book that is simply not written to be understood. A book that can only really be read if purchased with other guides. A book written by persons that have no idea about this industry. A black cable can now be live, existing blue cables now may be live but new blue ones will be neutrals. Persons will die because of these Regs. Written by so called experts that do not care how much it all costs. Let's put RCDs or RCBOs on everything. Why buy it, because you have to.

Passing the UK Clinical Aptitude Test (UKCAT) and BMAT 2008 (Student Guides to University Entrance) (Student Guides to University Entrance)

Although I found this book helpful I felt that it could have contained alot more practice questions. Half of the book talks about why you want to be a doctor and how to write your personal statement when really what I wanted was more practice questions which were in another book I bought.

Mind Over Mood: Change How You Feel By Changing the Way You Think

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Scientific- Technical and Medical
by: Christine A Padesky, Dennis Greenberger

May 10, 1995
I always recommend books on cognitive psychology as they represent the cutting edge of psychotherapy. I also always recommend FREE YOUR MIND by Anthony Stultz-he helps us to see the roots of CBT are from the Buddhist tradition and he presents a system that combines CBT in a Buddhist orientation.

Allen Carr's Easy Way to Stop Smoking: Be a Happy Non-smoker for the Rest of Your Life (Allen Carrs Easy Way)

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Scientific- Technical and Medical
by: Allen Carr

January 05, 2006
I have smoked for 13 years 5-10 cigarettes a day. In the last few years I have contemplated quitting, but never felt I could do it. I knew that I wouldn't last quitting only with will power, I definitely didn't believe in the NRT. I stumbled across a recommendation of this book on an internet forum and thought, that this might be it. I will try. Went to the book shop immediately, got the book, read it in about 10 days - slowly and carefully, and quit. That was three months ago. And I know I won't smoke again ever in my life. Mr Carr developed a very clever, kind and unpatronising method and in my opinion he needs a posthumous Nobel Prize for what he has done for millions of people so far and what he will keep on doing for millions of people in the ...

The Mindful Way Through Depression: Freeing Yourself from Chronic Unhappiness: Guided Meditation Practices for the Mindful Way Through Depression

Having suffered depression for 2 years following a particular incident and very bad year this book allowed me to connect my emotional and physical systoms. Explaining in plain english what to do to stop the self turmoil. I am not saying this offers a cure but it certainly offers everyday coping mechanisims that are easy to introduce and stop decline. Highly recommended.

The Selfish Gene

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Scientific- Technical and Medical
by: Richard Dawkins

March 16, 2006
Dawkins writes that "the argument of this book is that we, and all other animals, are machines created by our genes" (p.xxi) and that "We are survival machines - robot vehicles blindly programmed to preserve the selfish molecules known as genes" (p.xxi). Yet, according to him, this book "is not science fiction; it is science" (p.xxi)!

Dawkins contrives to overlook the twin discoveries that:
1. the observable traits of organisms are mostly conditioned by the interactions of many genes;
2. most genes have multiple effects on many of these traits.

Dawkins transfers characteristics with which he is familiar from human behaviour on the macro-level to the inanimate components, "genes", of which we are physically constructed. He then ... Read More:

Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Scientific- Technical and Medical
by: Oliver Sacks

November 02, 2007
I am usually a fan of Oliver Sacks but this is a disappointing book. I am about halfway through and on the verge of putting it down, although will perservere as it's a fast read (ie. lightweight and not amazingly thought-provoking). It just reads, as someone else said, more like a series of magazine articles, with each chapter ("article") simply being a list of half a dozen or so interesting cases, but without much analysis of the whys and wherefores. Lightweight, unsatisfying and not up to his usual standards. Pass.

Why Love Matters: How Affection Shapes a Baby's Brain

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Scientific- Technical and Medical
by: Sue Gerhardt

June 24, 2004
Taking the book with me on the bus or at the Waitrose checkout or at the barbers shop or Sussex University its title attracts attention. In the brief encounters which follow I enjoy speaking to parents whose infants obviously enjoy what's going on with the adults. I'm able to affirm that the love care and attention they give the child in those early years do make a difference and will set her up for life. To older people, and I am elderly, I speak of the 'forgiving space' that Sue Gerhart gives me in which to understand my chequered life. As Kierkegaard said 'Life must be lived foward, but it can only be understood backwards.'
