Editorial Review Product Description Alternative medicine is an increasingly mainstream industry with a predicted worth of five trillion dollars by the year 2050. Its treatments range from reputable methods like homeopathy and acupuncture to such bizarre therapies as nutraceuticals, ear candling, and ergogenics. Alternative approaches are endorsed by celebrities, embraced by the middle class, and have become a lifestyle choice for many based on their spurious claims of rediscovery of ancient wisdom and the supposedly benign quality of nature. As this hard-hitting survey reveals, despite their growing popularity and expanding market share, there is no hard evidence that any of these so-called natural treatments actually work. It reveals how alternative medicine jeopardizes the health of those it claims to treat, leaches resources from treatments of proven efficacy, and is largely unaccountable and unregulated. Bracing and funny, this is a calling to account of a social and intellectual fraud that has produced a global delusion. Customer Reviews (10)
A Doctor's Opinion. Fraught with bias this book cannot meet the standard it holds to others.
Nice to read the other side of the marketing stories, especially it's about our health
Best book for laymen
It all depends how you use natural treatments.

50. The Science Fiction of Mark Clifton (Alternatives) | |

Editorial Review Product Description This collection of the best short stories of Mark Clifton makes these fine tales readily available for the first time in two decades. Winner with Frank Riley of the 1955 Hugo Award for They’d Rather Be Right, Clifton has for a variety of reasons unrelated to the quality of his writing all but disappeared from the awareness of today’s science fiction audience. Never a prolific writer he had published only about twenty-five short stories before his death in 1963. But with those stories and his three novels he irrevocably altered the course of contemporary science fiction. Almost single-handedly he introduced the full range of psychological insights to the commonly occurring themes of the genrealien invasion, expanding technology, revolution against political theocracy, and space exploration and colonizationto ever more truthfully portray how humanity would react to a future that could be either mindless or intellectually stunning. With his first published story, What Have I Done?” Clifton initiated the theme of a starkly realistic world in which, at its best, humanity is inalterably vilea theme that became an inextricable part of all his subsequent works. In his later works Clifton occasionally clothed his bitter indictment in the garb of comedy. The stories collected here include What Have I Done?” Star, Bright,” Crazy Joey,” What Thin Partitions,” Sense from Thought Divide,” How Allied,” Remembrance and Reflection,” Hide! Hide! Witch!” Clerical Error,” What Now, Little Man?” and Hang Head, Vandal!” Customer Reviews (1)
Clifton is the greatest Sci-Fi writer ever. Hisbackground was in personel which provided him with the opportunity tointerview 250,000 people in his career.This comes accross brilliantly inall the characters which populate his stories, everyone of them infusedwith a richness and truth that is rare in all forms of fiction.His worksare perfect examples of the medium, meaning that they could not be told inany form other than sci-fi. Please give him a try.If you do pick upthe collection, then I highly recommend the last two stories, "WhatNow, Little Man?" and "Hang Head, Vandal!"The former storyimpressed me with the most profound sense of the meaning(andmeaninglessness) of life that I have ever encountered in literature.He issuch an underated and unknown master of sci-fi, it would really be greatfor some of you to discover him as I did.And if you like what you see,then you might want to try one of his few novels, "When They Came fromSpace."Don't let the cheesy title fool you.It's a wonderful satireand contains an inspired debate on the differences between faith in scienceand faith in miracles. ...

57. Guayule: An Alternative Source of Natural Rubber by National Academy of Sciences | |

list price: US$37.50 -- used & new: US$37.50 (price subject to change: see help) Asin: 0894991698 Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France | Japan | |
Editorial Review Product Description This perennial shrub thrives in arid conditions and can survive heavy frosts. Guayule, after thorough drying, has been found to contain as much as 26% rubber. This rubber can be used to make vehicle tires or any other item currently made with natural rubber. It is a promising plant for use in reforestation of desert fringe lands and is easy to grow. Extraction of the rubber is not technically difficult; in fact, small-scale household extraction is possible. The plant can be cut down to the ground and will grow again from the roots. The book covers: background and history, botanical information, rubber extraction, agricultural production, rubber quality, economics, research needs, selected readings and recommendations. When guayule grows actively, it produces little or no rubber. If the plant is stressed, growth slows and the products from photosynthesis are diverted into rubber production. Thus when growth slows during cold weather or because of reduced moisture supply, the rubber content begins to increase. |

Editorial Review Product Description Fraser, a literary critic and poet who was raised aChristian Scientist, has a relentless analytic bent and an acute eyefor physical detail, both of which are in evidence on every page ofthis book. Her stories of parents whose attempts at faith-healingresulted in their children's deaths are especially poignant. Thesestories also illuminate and analyze the fears and pains that haveplagued many Christian Scientists who subscribe to Eddy's belief thatindividuals can control their physical destiny by force offaith. Ultimately, Fraser has little sympathy for the obdurateself-reliance advocated by Christian Scientist doctrine, which shesees as a forerunner to the extremist paranoia of contemporarycults. "The suggestibility, infatuation, and enthusiasm that sparkedChristian Science ... lies behind our current anxious fixations onimaginary perils and medical conspiracies," Fraser writes. "Floridthough they may seem, such fears can have far from imaginaryconsequences." The goal of Fraser's book is to track down andannihilate irrational fears in the religion of her childhood; herreason for doing so, however, exudes an undeniably spiritual grace:"Should we continue to pursue [these fears], our providences willsurely grow ever more remarkable." --Michael Joseph Gross Customer Reviews (102)
