'Reiki For A Healthier Lifestyle' is a new book that not only explains to the reader what Reiki is and how it is of benefit to people from all walks of life BUT how it can help alleviate all sorts of health issues. Lynne challenges the reader to forget all preconceptions of Reiki and alternative therapies and explains in details how Reiki works on the human body. Reiki is one of the most exciting healing energies of modern time even though it has been practised for a long while. Human energy is called 'Ki' and any blockages of this universal life force withing the body and mind can adversly affect a persons wellbeing.A good comparison is a light-bulb that flickers or breaks if the supply of electricity is interfered with, so it is the same with the energy within the body. Lynne explains how Reiki can help simple complaints like headaches, general pain and discomfort through to managing anger, emotions, stress and anxiety. A body with negative energy responds well to Reiki treatment and this therapy can help with conditions such as depression, MS and is a most beneficial addition to medical treatment for conditions such as cancer.Curing and healing are two completely different things and for a body to be cured of many conditions the healing process must be restored and Reiki aims to help this process. Lynne answers Reiki safety questions, can anyone recieve Reiki treatment , explains the bodies Chakras that control our life force and shares case studies from her clients to explain the benefits of Reiki for good health.She answers the critics who claim Reiki is just a placebo and explains the bodies response to everyday ilnesses and complaints from I.B.S through to migraines, allergies and many more common complaints.

How to Read a French Fry

And Other Stories of Intriguing Kitchen Science

By: Russ Parsons

In a book widely hailed for its entertaining prose and provocative research, the award-winning Los Angeles Times food journalist Russ Parsons examines the science behind ordinary cooking processes. Along the way he dispenses hundreds of tips and the reasons behind them, from why you should always begin cooking beans in cold water, to why you should salt meat before sautéing it, to why it's a waste of time to cook a Vidalia onion. Filled with sharp-witted observations ("Frying has become synonymous with minimum-wage labor, yet hardly anyone will try it at home"), intriguing food trivia (fruit deprived of water just before harvest has superior flavor to fruit that is irrigated up to the last moment ), and recipes (from Oven-Steamed Salmon with Cucumber Salad to Ultimate Strawberry Shortcake), How to Read a French Fry contains all the ingredients you need to become a better cook.

An Explorer's Guide

By: Russ Manning

Combining historical narrative with the specifics of a guidebook, The Historic Cumberland Plateau is an indispensable aid for visiting and experiencing an area rich in natural wonders and scenic beauty. First published in 1992, the book has now been extensively revised to include the latest information about points of interest and cultural events on the Cumberland Plateau. A land known for its great caves, cascading waterfalls, natural arches, and isolated river canyons, the Plateau stretches from northeast to southwest, encompassing parts of Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia.

The Plateau also possesses a unique history and cultural heritage. Inhabited first by Native Americans, then by pioneers migrating westward, the Plateau contains many sites that attest to its rich history. As different groups passed through, some chose to settle permanently, resulting in a diverse cultural heritage celebrated today in many regional events. Each chapter of this book, focusing on a specific area on the Plateau, is filled with fascinating historical facts and anecdotes, as well as practical information about services and accommodations, events, and directions to natural wonders, hiking trails, and historic sites. The Author: Russ Manning is an award-winning freelance writer and author of several outdoor guidebooks.
