The Proof Is In The Pudding

I was able to go through the book quickly since I'm not a face-book marketing newbie. What I appreciated most about the book is that he backed up his theory with proof. This took the form of case-studies/examples that anyone could readily follow. This allows the reader to take the information and apply it to their own situations with a minimal of effort. Keep up the good work Don!

I read this book to find out if the man I see on the tube truly serves the Lord. I am happy to report that all evidence leads me to conclude that he is a genuine man of godly character. I'm grateful for his witness.

This author, together with Terry Crowdy, has done a considerable amount of original archive research in both the Kriegsarchiv in Vienna and the S.H.A.T. in Vincennes. Not surprisingly, the new information they have brought to light has shattered the odd cherished myth or two. As such, there are those who have subjected David Hollins to a considerable amount of abuse for the revelations made in this book. Their unfounded and ill-considered comments do not change the facts as established in this work. The falacy of their arguments has been shown on debate on a number of website forae. In all, a well-researched work that is ideal for the purposes it is designed.

I quesion the friendliness of this recipe collection to both the cook and diner with insulin control challenges.
In this day and age including accurate nutritional information suggests the author has done their research and is accountable for the accuracy of the recipe upon which the consumer depends. This is a collection only.

Stephen Byrnes' book  is an excellent report on how gullible the modern American public has allowed itself to become when it comes to nutrition. This book has been on my shelf for over a decade and its citations from many highly credible sources that have been swept under the rug by industry are a valuable reminder to question authority as well as the sheeple who follow industry dogma.

It is a shame that Dr. Byrnes' death due to AIDS treatment has become the butt of jokes for committed vegans and other advocates of other conventionally minded diets. The truth is that even with AIDS, he was one of the healthiest people I had known. I spoke to him a few months before his death about his daily boogie board routine, busy practice and the recent death of his mom, which affected him very deeply. In fact, I would not be surprised if it was his deep sense of loss of his mother that was the real culprit of his demise.

The value that he brought to the table is sorely missed. Thank goodness he left us a few books to contemplate.

Breathtaking evidence of lies and disinformation. EVIDENCE is Dr Wood's favorite word and man does she deliver!
It's pricey but worth every cent!

This book takes a logical objective look at the evidence for the scriptures as being the true Word of God.  Limbaugh presents evidence in a clear and concise way that can not be disputed.  Praise God!

Wow what an account! I have been a believer that we are being visited by E.T.'s for a while now. This account is so intriguing. there is also in the book a predicted event which came to pass just a couple weeks ago. Right there for me that is proof this is not made up.

Holocaust deniers are an enigmatic group in the modern world.  One that insists, for various reasons, that one of the greatest tragedies of the modern age was a mere hoax.  In the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary these people insist the Holocaust simply did not happen; how can they say this? this book by Richard J. Evans about his experiences as a material witness for the defense in David Irving's Libel case against Deborah Lipstadt sheds some light on how denier's history works.  Evans' job during the trial basically consisted of checking over David Irving's writings and determining if he was just a 'revisionist historian' (which the deniers all claim to be) or if he was in fact a holocaust denier, an anti-semite, and a falsifier of history.
  Evans findings are hardly surprising to those familiar with the denial movement.  He showed with sufficient force to convince a supreme court justice that Irving was all of these things.  Reading this book can give a person an excellent impression of what the deniers are like; unfortunately that can include arrogant, racist, and unrepentant.  These persons all believe in the absolute accuracy of what they say despite the fact that they have to obfuscate their sources, take quotes out of context, and literally ignore mountains of contrary evidence (including eyewitness testimonies, both Jewish and Nazi alike) to make these claims.
  Irving is something of a celebrity in this world.  With the possible exception of Rassinier or Faurisson he is denial's most prolific writer; certainly he is its most prolific English writer.  The most amazing feature of this book is how it portrays Irving.  He certainly seems like an utter creep from the portrayal here.  He argues forcefully, eloquently, and convincingly to the unwitting public and yet when faced with actually defending his 'revisionist' view of the Holocaust before actual historians he is defeated on virtually all fronts.  In the end it is some justice that this man sued Lipstadt for printing a few pages of material he considered to be libelous and he came out of the trial with an over three hundred page judgement handed down by a Supreme Court Justice of England (also available from Penguin publishers under the title, 'The Irving Judgement')upholding Lipstadt's claims as well as many others and a fine of around two million pounds.
  The judgement was more damaging to Irving's reputation than anything Lipstadt said and I believe the world owes a big thank you to Deborah Lipstadt and Penguin Publishers for taking this case to court.  Rather than settle out of court they chose to fight a long and expensive legal battle; they must have known from the beginning that, even if they won, they would probably never see any major portion of the money they spent back again.  My hat goes off to them all for fighting a long and arduous legal battle that in the end would net them nothing more than a small boost to their already fine reputation.
  This book is easy to read and entertaining; the lay reader will find it not overly complex though some familiarity with the history of the third reich would be helpful.  Evans has an excellent command of history and a good sense of humour.  For those looking for an introduction to the world of holocaust denial this illustrates perfectly how badly the deniers manipulate evidence to suit their own ends

He tells it as he sees it and backs it up with details! HE OFFERES PROOF FOR THE OPEN MINDED!

Josh McDowell has produced a fine volume of Christian apologetic research, which has been (and will continue to be) a persuasive argument for the veracity of the Bible and it's teachings. Secondary proof of this is the  great degree of opposition that "scholars" like the "Jesus  Seminar" falsely attack it with.  If these critical unbelievers despise  it, it must be good!

To say that this was an interesting read is an understatement of immense proportions,  I applaud Mr Hancock and his confreres Robert Bauval, Robert Schoch, John Anthony West and many others for their research and their writings. But, much more than that. Then having the intestinal fortitude to face the assault of Egyptologists, scholars and others for having the temerity to postulate  alternative explanations to long held beliefs and tenets.  As time marches on Mr Hancock et al are being proven absolutely credible and correct in their assertions.

Jim Henle, a professor of mathematics at Smith College, combines chemistry and charm in this treatise on the pleasures of math and cooking. Henle at times makes light of both and waxes poetic and grave about both.

A refreshingly honest self-assessment on his days in the kitchen and classroom, The Proof and the Pudding is Henle's memoir of a life spent dabbling and fooling and, he hopes, improving.

I interviewed Henle for the MIT Alumni Books Podcast: https://soundcloud.com/mitalumni/alum-books-podcast-the-proof-and-the-pudding

"evidence of the resurrection" is very hard to put down. the writer josh mcdowell is a former atheist who set out to prove christianity and Jesus to be a falehood and eneded up proving it to be a fact he found lots of historical information to prove christianity and the Bible and the resurrection to be the truth. many people know the scriptures but they don't know the facts and the proof that are out there and josh mcdowl has uncovered them in this fasinating book which makes easter all the more intresting. this book would make a great gift idea for a friend or family member.

Rupert Sheldrake should be awarded the Nobel Prize in science. He applied his Cambridge education by doing real science in the interest of furthering  knowledge, and he delivered the goods on a shoestring budget. His evidence for psi is convincing and compelling enough to make him the target of psi deniers everywhere, such that they must invent excuses for their own inability to face facts.  And still, the man is a virtual paragon of courtesy and manners against an army of angry, red-faced pseudo skeptics, ready to denounce him as a charlatan without so much as a glance at evidence. We don't need no pseudo skeptics and their phony badges of authority to realize that they are the agents of dogma, whereas Rupert Sheldrake is an agent of true scientific inquiry. Thanks go to Rupert Sheldrake for writing this book, and showing us that there is more under heaven and earth than may be found in the materialist philosophy.

You may not know author Ben Goldacre.  He's British.  He's also a doctor, and a science writer.  His work appears in the Guardian.

Goldacre also has a finely tuned BS detector.  In this book, he takes that detector and looks at how science and medicine is reported in the popular press.  It turns out that those representations are usually wrong.  They're that way because everything is over simplified by reporters that apparently don't know what they're talking about.  Sometimes the problem goes deeper too.  The people creating the data misreport or misinterpret the data they create, with varying degrees of malice.  The book builds with Goldacre debunking various people who have his behind science and exposes them as the quacks they are.  It creschendos with a take-down of the MMR scare over the supposed autism link.

The best thing is that he explains the statistical subterfuge and the medical mysteries in plain language.  You feel smarter, and not talked down to, having learned what is real -- and what is BS.

The key takeaway, as Goldacre asserts, and I agree with is this: "I'll think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that."  I've found myself internalizing this lesson, becomming even more skeptical than usual.  Last night the news reported that aspirin lowered the risk for colon cancer, and I said to myself: "There's more to this story."

This is an amazing book. Dunn clearly shows how the technology of Ancient Egypt has been basically ignored by mainstream Egyptologists. These academic fools are actually embarrassing when they insist they have no 'proof' that these people had advanced technology. Well, here's your proof. Egyptologists insist 'where's the pot shards, where are the machines? You don't need them since we have a much greater degree of proof. It's frozen in the statues and the pyramids.
Dunn clearly shows that the Ancients had advanced use of measurement, quantitative machines and many other shocking findings because nothing else can produce such brilliant work. What more proof do you need? All of his proofs would be difficult to reproduce in today's modern machine shops. Which begs the question how the heck did they do it???
It gets pretty technical for your average layman. It was even difficult for me at times and I have a degree in chemistry and medicine. I would suggest that Mr Dunn perhaps add a page or two on some prerequisites regarding advanced machining in modern times. But I get it too, I think in some sense it doesn't matter and the explanations may not help since it is an entire science that we must learn. However, the book is so cool that anyone can get the thrust of it without a science background.
The other message is the understanding of how 'closed' Egyptologists are to anything that might suggest that these people were NOT cave dwellers, but equal to us and in fact, possibly more advanced in some ways than us. Absolutely astonishing book. I loved it.
