What can I say. Well, Im a  paranoid IT person of 30 years but got hooked on the idea of cloud based home control. So yes I love my echo stuff but, I did create a isolated VLAN on my home network to run the devices including the cheap ones that require you to sign up on some questionable website and download their app. Be carful with these people!  Entering your Wi-Fi password on a site thats not vetted and your location when the app askes is not a good thing. Try to stay with devices that  work directly with the Alexa hub with no third-party app, Amazon has more control of these types of devices and how the  sensitive information is handled.

A really really useful book full of insightful tips. You absolutely must do your research before you get any pet, and books like this are a great place to startt. I have had dogs before, but this contained facts instructions on so many things I had never considered before. I feel much more confident about adopting a Norfolk now, and I shudder to think of what would happen had I just adopted one without reading up on them.

Jeff T Bowles points out the astounding lack of research about this disease and mentions in detail a few things that show great promise in small studies.  Including the coconut oil treatment for which there seems to be no actual research.  This is a not book  about vitamin-D, but it is mentioned briefly.  A MUST READ for everyone.  The treatments mentioned, both prescription and OTC are are explained with cutting edge theory and in plain language as only Jeff can write it.  He also provides many comments of others on the many difficult problems faced by relatives of of Alzheimer's suffers.

If your loved one can't wait, you really need this information now!!!

Indeed a thoroughly  research! the reason I do not give five stars it is because theres no way yet to Irrefutably proof what the author says; nevertheless I am considering all good tips and suggestions.
Great job, thanks!

A breeze to read through because of this guy's stories.  But don't get me wrong, this book is packed with backed up research and a comprehensive reference in the back.  You need to read this especially if you have or want to have children.  I had not realized so much research has been done on the long term dangers of so many every day products (that are easily replaced with different products!) have on our epigenetics. Don't neglect your hormones or, more importantly, your children's hormones .. read this book!

The authors have done a great work of research here. Based on astronomy and archeology, with some hints at astrology and metaphysic knowledge, Mr Hancock and Mr Bauval take us trhough a journey in time, trying to get back to the origins of the always mystical and eningmatic Pyramids and Sphinx. Although the title lays on the cat-headed monument, they indeed spent a lot of time and pages of this book dealing with the pyramids and their main details.
Through this book you will be able to learn about the constant attempts they and many other researchers have made to go deeper in the study of the Sphinx, in concrete, to try and find the secret chambers that lie beneath the monument, and how all of those attemps have been met with a burocratical "no" from the different administrators of the site.
The authors also have managed to come up with a coherent theory about the building of the pyramids. Although they do not affirm that the Giza monuments were built in 10,500 BC, their research and evidence presented in this book leds you to your very own conclusion that they might actually have been built 8000 before what "traditional" egyptologists claim.
Finally I should say that this book is not an easy read. The first 2 3rds of it are simple and deal with much of astronomy and some politics (they are everywhere, aren't they?)
The last half of it is about egyptian mythology and how it fits in the context of the pyramids, the constellations and the authors findings, this part requires a very concentrated read.
In all, a must for all the searchers of the truth out there, very helpful at coming at your own conclusions. Get it now.

Although the focus of this book was a bit different than I had expected I have to be honest that the information on researching where treasure may be located was very informative.  From my perspective, in case anyone else is in the same boat I was when I bought the book, this does NOT focus on how to find interesting locations to dig.  As someone definitely on the beginner end of the MD spectrum I was interested in how to research locations like one room school houses or old fairgrounds.  I'm not looking to get rich but I am interested in detecting in areas that have some historical significance.  This book pretty much focuses on exactly the opposite.  Even going so far as to say not to detect at an old school house or the old 1850 house in your town because the real treasure won't be there.
The focus here is on how to find that mason jar of silver coins the old miser buried or other caches or mother loads that are out there.  It's about going to the library and looking through microfiche for news articles about rich parents that disowned their kids and then died suddenly (possibly leaving a buried treasure near their house).  Or verifying legends of bank robberies where the loot was never found, tracking the movements of the robbers to try and figure out where it might be.  It's a very good description of techniques that will help you find the big score, and to be honest I used some of these techniques to find some more interesting places to hunt.
Bottom line, I would say this is not for beginners though beginners would be able to get some use out of the information.

Other than retail store owners and security personnel there is one group of people who should consider reading this book.  That group being those convicted criminals who are trying to recover their lives and make an honest living.  If you are in that group, this book will help you realize what you are up against, who is trying to stop you and how.

For retail store owners looking for ideas to prevent the most damaging theft: Employee theft, this book will give you a look into the mind and methods of dishonest employees.  You will get some good ideas on how to avoid hiring these types and how to detect them if they get through the screening process.  But really, think carefully about the methods advocated here.  They are more than  a little questionable

Two problems here.  First, the book is basically a long, but informative, advertisement for the authors services, including questionnaires which supposedly reveal whether or not the one being questioned did the crime.  Also, the author is True Believer in polygraphs.  He makes several claims about the scientific research that supports polygraphs, which I found, upon my own research, to not be quite true.  You get the official Church of the Polygraph doctrine in this book.  Do your own research and decide.

For those of you with prior convictions, who simply want to make an honest living, you will benefit from this book in many ways.  You will better understand the difficulties involved in even getting chance to work.  You will realize the flaws and pitfalls of the methods used by employers to keep or weed you out.  In understanding what you are up against, you will be better able to decide on how to combat those forces arrayed against you as well as how to approach the rest of your life.  Is honesty the best policy?  Read what the other side says and decide.

No matter what side of the fence you are on, information is needed to make intelligent decisions.  This book does have much of that information, even it there is much commercial advertising of questionable methods.  I gave the book four stars despite the advertising in disguise for the valuable insights you can gain from it

Essential research  presented in a clear, understandable style

Absolutely amazing!  Every few pages I would have to wonder exactly how long it took to write this book.  This is absolutely the most well-researched book I have ever opened.  True, it does travel on unessecary tangents, and the overall conclusion is unproven, but the authors will be the first to tell you so.  This book's purpose is not to change your beliefs, but to tell you what these researchers believe.  And that it does well.  Even if you don't agree with them, Baigent, Leigh, and Lincoln will surely make you smarter.

This book is very well written and extremely well researched with an extensive bibliography.  It lends confirmation to much of what I had already discovered for myself, and lends new info that is already helping me to get my weight loss back on track.  By far the most common objection to going on a plant based diet is "Where do you get your protein?"  If you have ever thought about cutting out meat but were worried it might cause you to get weak, or just didn't know how to do it in a healthy way, this book is for you.  Dr. Davis has gone through the studies that seem to indicate we "need" meat and exposes what they really say.  His extensive work with the very overweight also lends credence to what he has to say.  It blows the whole idea away that carbohydrates are the evil in our diet with some very sound and verifiable research.  To top it off, he gives his own personal account of regaining his health by stopping the obsession with getting enough animal protein.  Also, I have to give him props for admitting where he was wrong and retracting some earlier information he had published for bariatric surgery patients encouraging them to eat a high percentage of protein post surgery.  Most medical Drs. I know will never admit error even when it is right in their face. Probably if people would really try to follow the advice in this book, they wouldn't need the surgery at all.  I also like that at the end of the book, he gives sample menus, and recipes for those who might have no clue how to cook without animal products in practically everything. This book could really save lives.  Finally, as an animal lover myself, I was so glad to see that he understands and embraces the ethical and environmental reasons to dial back the consumption of animals and animal produced products.

As full disclosure, I stopped eating any animal products (no meat, fish, poultry, dairy or eggs) over 3 years ago.  I didn't do it to lose weight but I had high hopes. Although I had a good start, it stalled and has stayed stalled.  After reading this book, I realized how I have sabotaged my own efforts to an extent by trying to make sure there was ALWAYS a "protein" in the meal.  Sure, sometimes it was beans or tofu, but that gets boring and a lot of the time it was processed meat substitutes.  After reading this book, I realized that I was often just adding calories (mostly fat calories) to meals that were already complete on their own.  I've now been using only whole foods and not sweating over making sure I'm adding a large portion of a  protein specific item to each and every meal, although I still incorporate a variety of nuts, seeds, beans, soy, etc. on a daily basis.  Sure enough, the scale is finally moving in my favor after months of near complete stall.  And I don't feel weaker, in fact, I have a lot more energy and am even waking up earlier.

This has some interesting pictures/ articles.  The author obviously poured alot of time into his research.  I found this to be a delight to read and look through.  It, however, is not for in-depth research.  It provides enough information to commence the research, but that is it.  Makes an wonderful gift on this side of obscurity.

I don't like to give 5 stars to most books, thinking that 5 stars ought to be reserved for books as good as Shakespeare, as revolutionary as Righteous Mind, or as profound as The Science of Being and Art of Living.  But I gave this book five stars to be supportive of it. It's better researched and more complete than Interrupted Journey. The writers were so careful to consider all the angles that it was sometimes a little tedious, but the Betty and Barney Hill experience was the first documented alien abduction and it deserves this careful, considered treatment. I think this is the best information you can get outside of doing your own research into the facts, and even if you did, I doubt that you could do better than this.

A great straightforward read with much research to substantial information. One can could shorten their learning curve by reading this book and others before venturing out to start their own worm farm. Some of the scientific data on chemical composition of castings and ratios were especially appreciated. Thanks for taking some of the guesswork out of the equation.

This book is excellent in providing you with the knowledge you need to get off addictive and fattening foods and habits. As well as realizing that the government and medical industry doesn't  have your best interests at heart.

She always provides you with the information you need to see your poor choices in a new light and that gives you the extra push you need to make a permanent change.

I chose to glean what I felt could help me and ignore what I though was biased information. I believe it is important to not always absorb every detail you read without doing proper research. Not everyone's body is able to go without animal meat, and I don't see any harm in eating organic pasture raised vitamin rich meats, I felt the information she presented to back up her claims that animal meat causes diseases was weak.

The biggest takeaway from this book for me was how much wheat is impacting our health in negative ways, I just had no idea and I feel this is one of the main causes of my weight issues since I was a child. Along with GMO's.

Also the author is a bit new age with her spirituality (not for me personally) and practices so I chose to ignore the chapters on meridians and chakras.

The book is very easy to read and very enjoyable.

good research, but parts of book are difficult reading for non medically trained readers.  Still,if one looks up unfamiliar scientific terms, the book is very worth while.
