The fast paced world and the polluted environment of today are wreaking havoc on our bodies and minds, and there is never a better time than now to educate and empower yourself to be the gatekeeper to your health.Rebekah Winquest, nutrition educator, author, and natural alternative foods chef has simplified complex nutritional principals into a language that anyone can understand, but she's done far more than that. She has opened up an incredible portal to understanding foods in an entirely new light. She has embraced the fact that each one of us is a unique diet unto ourselves, referring to each of our bodies as a masterpiece since there are no duplicates. She's then framed the information so that you understand that every food has a unique energy value, and we all have our own personal energy demands, so if you understand how to bind good energy foods with your energy demand, the potentials are endless.

Preserve it Naturally II The Complete Guide to Food Dehydration Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I LOVE this book! It has more than I ever expected, including recipes. The recipes have really helped, since I wasn't sure how to cook with dried fruit and veggies. It has opened up lots of great, new ideas of things I can dry in my dehydrator, and other great uses such as crafts, breadmaking, and yogurt making. I can't wait to try out the section on pet treats!

Growing At-Risk Medicinal Herbs, Cultivation, Conservation and Ecology Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book is essential for any serious medicinal herb grower or for those simply interested the history and conservation of at risk medicinal plants. Many of the plants addressed in this book are somewhat difficult to cultivate but Richo imparts his observations and experience accrued from a lifetime of experience in the field to the reader, effectively facilitating their propagation. The botanical information alone is much more exhaustive than anything that I've encountered anywhere else.
Besides need for individuals to cultivate at-risk medicinals for the sake of conservation, one will find that many of these plants are mainstays in the arsenal of any respectable herbalist. For those of us who prefer to cultivate our own medicinal plants, this book is an essential resource. Also Richo offers seeds, root cuttings, and live plants detailed in this book from his seed company, Horizon Herbs. In my encounters with him, I have found him to be extremely gracious and helpful in answering any questions that I have had.
I am including a list of all of the herbs which are addressed in this book as that seemingly pertinent bit of information is lacking from Amazon's description:
Black Cohosh
Bloodroot
Blue Cohosh
Echinacea
American Ginseng
Goldenseal
Kava Kava
Lady's Slipper Orchid
Lomatium
Osha
Peyote
Slippery Elm
Stillingia
Sundew
Trillium
False Unicorn
True Unicorn
Venus Flytrap
Virginia Snakeroot
American Wild Yam
Note: While completing this review, I discovered that it is no longer offered from Horizon Herbs, from whence I purchased my copy. However, it is offered on another major site that sells used books for under $20. I would assume that it is currently out of print, so please don't hesitate in securing a copy for yourself!

This book is about plant conservation through cultivation. These plants are becoming rare because their native habitat is shrinking and because they are challenging to grow. Growing "at-risk" medicinal plants depends on conserving or creating the environment that harbors them. It is my sincere hope that gardeners and conservationists will use this book to help preserve wild places and as solid ground for fostering and protecting our irreplaceable native medicinal plants.

More Best Recipes (America's Test Kitchen) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Those of you who complain about Cooks Illustrated's habit of redundant recipes between books, look elsewhere. Literally everything in this book is a rehash; I'm about to explain why this isn't necessarily a bad thing, and why CI fans probably don't need this book anyway.
This book is exactly as advertised: the best stuff from the last five years or so of the magazine. A lot of this stuff has been covered in the TV show books; for that, you want the 10th anniversary book, especially if you haven't bothered with ordering the last two years directly from the publisher or never got the first edition of The Best Recipe (where the first season was documented). And diligent collectors of the Best Recipe series will have all or most of these recipes anyway (some stuff, like Pizza Bianca or Almost No-Knead Bread, has as far as I know only appeared in the TV books and the magazine). But for the most part, this is a book for people who are just getting into the whole Cooks Illustrated thing -- something to be bought as a set with The New Best Recipe.
It does adopt a bit of the informality in some of the later Best Recipe books, showing recipes in part as problem domains as recipes in and of themselves. And chances are a lot of the recipes are just the sort of things you want collected all in one place like this. On its own it's worth the 4 stars; it just has a bit of a limited audience compared to some of its seriesmates. Get it for a new cook, or for someone who's just woken up to the geek side of the kitchen. But if you've been collecting CI books as long as I have, it probably isn't for you.

A Clear and Definite Path: Enlightenment and Health with Yoga and Holistic Living Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)What I really liked about this book is its accessibility. It's not pretentious and doesn't make any magical claims. It lays out how beneficial a raw diet is and aligns it with deepening your Yoga practice. It's a quick read and I found it hard to put down because it seemed to flow pretty well. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to hear an intelligent opinion between nutrition and Yoga without getting too mystical or ethereal. A very necessary and practical book for every Yoga student. Well enjoyed.
