Book Description
Quantum-Touch is the touch-based healing technique that uses the chi of both practitioner and client, bringing them into harmony to allow the body to heal itself. Quantum-Touch differs from other healing techniques because it does not require long years of study and presents none of the common hurdles of understanding or application; anyone can learn to use it to become a healer, both of others and of self. In this new edition of his best-selling guide, Richard Gordon leads the reader step by step, clearly explaining how to use breathing and body-focusing techniques to raise one's energy levels. Once that is achieved, the healer can correct posture and alignment, reduce pain and inflammation, help balance emotional distress, and even heal pets. Above all, Quantum-Touch can be used in tandem with all other healing modalities, including Western medicine, and its efficacy has been attested to by physicians, acupuncturists, chiropractors, and other healing professionals.

One Minute Hip realignment.......2007-07-31
Richard Gordon writes with such clarity, caring and love, and the drawings and photos are wonderful. This is a superbly helpful book, easy to follow and learn from. After months of seeing a chiropractor with a rotation in my hips, the problem was gone in about two minutes by just following the simple breathing-touch exercise shown in the book for hip alignment. My husband (a "nonbeliever") positioned his hands lightly and breathed energy as I instructed reading from the book, and lo and behold, my hips aligned themselves. No pain, no complicated procedure. Simple and direct, and I am so very thankful! Just that healing alone more than paid for the price of this invaluable book.
This stuff does work.......2007-07-26
I'm just an occasional user of the healing arts. I started out learning w/ Healing Touch from a gifted practitioner who told me about it. When I tried it on my mother, the pains would just radiate into my arms and I'd feel drained after a session. Then I found Quantum Touch and combined therapies. After more than a year later and only several tries, I can now do a session on my mother without the pain or drain associated with it. While watching her vital signs monitor, I saw some normalization in her breathing and heart beat while running energy on her vs. when I stopped running energy.
I also tried the coca cola trick and it does remove the carbonation, but for me, it does take time and concentration. Not bad at all for a newbie who's never done this before.
I only gave it 4 stars because the publication itself had misquoted pages numbers and I had to search for the correct page. Other than that, it's very easy to learn and has made a huge difference when I use it.
Fun stuff. Who knows, maybe I'll make a career out of this.
Almost perefect.......2007-05-19
This book is excellent in covering the basics of Quantum Touch therapy as well as presenting some very valuable tips on how to condcut a healing session properly. These tips are applicable to other healing modalities and not just Quantum Touch. The reason I gave the book four stars is because the exercises lack a more thorough description which makes it somewhat harder to learn on one's own. However, if you are not yet familiar with what Quantum Touch really is and are looking for a solid, down-to-earth, practical and effective healing modality, this is the book to read.
Quantum Touch.......2007-04-05
I stumbled upon this book, it is the teaching book to the course Quantum Touch. It is so easy to read and learn the techniques they are putting forth. If you are interested in hands-on healing this book is a must!
It tells you all about how it works, and case studies. It teaches you very simply how to use the healing energy to help yourself and others.
Helpful information.......2007-03-26
I bought this book along with Energy Medicine and find both very helpful. I work with energy healing and they are both enlightening and useful with my EFT practice.
Book Description
Science has recently begun to prove what ancient myth and religion have always espoused: There may be such a thing as a life force.
Lynne McTaggart, indefatigable investigative journalist, reveals a radical new biological paradigm -- that on our most fundamental level, the human mind and body are not distinct and separate from their environment but a packet of pulsating power constantly interacting with this vast energy sea.
The Field is a highly readable scientific detective story that offers a stunning picture of an interconnected universe and a new scientific theory that makes sense of supernatural phenomena. Original, well researched, and well documented by distinguished sources, The Field is a book of hope and inspiration for today's world.
Customer Reviews:
Terrible, rambling pseudo-science.......2007-10-19
This book deals with some important and interesting subjects, but I really struggled with the writing style - everything is "amazing". Even more concerning was the seeming complete disregard for the scientific method (which is not the same as scientific dogma). Hypotheses are frequently presented as conclusions, and there is no time spent on arguing or presenting alternative theories. Very disappointing.
The Field by Lynn Mctaggert.......2007-10-17
A very well written summary of developments in "psychic" research and Quantum Physics, and the ways in which discoveries in quantum effects are showing that human thoughts affect and interact with the "world" of energy/matter of which they are an integral part. The reviews that say[[ASIN:0060931175 The Field: The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe] is nonsense are clearly based on the premiss that conventional non-quantum science has the only acceptable answers, and that all the carefully conducted studies in "psychic" research that show positive results are necessarily somehow fatally flawed. As such they are expressions of faith in materialist dogma. If this book were not important it would not have provoked the reponses that it has and it could safely be ignored.
Highly recommended.
The Zero Point Field.......2007-10-12
"The Intention Experiment" by Lynn McTaggart is a fascinating book and highly inspirational since it highlights the reconciliation between science and religion, Newtonian Science and Quantum Physics etc. The central concept in this book is the Zero Point Field, the microscopic vibrational space between objects. This field connects everything that exists and is of paramount importance in manifesting when consciously living an intentional life.
Some powerful New Age books that I've also discoverred are;
Limitless Mind: A Guide to Remote Viewing and Transformation of Consciousness
Entangled Minds: Extrasensory Experiences in a Quantum Reality
Nexus: A Neo Novel
its all in the Field.......2007-09-30
I am on my second reading. The information is important enough for me to be able to re-late it to others, especially in my progressive Christian church group. Although written in 2001...science is still kicking against some of this wisdom of it's own. Bucky Fuller said we're always 50 years behind the leading edge.
Excellent coverage of research bringing science to Consciousness.......2007-09-29
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is heartening to see that science is finally "discovering" what has been known (but not well publicized) since the dawn of humanity--that we are all part of an infinite, unified energy field which I and many others choose to call God or Consciousness or Omniverse.
Ramifications of the Zero-Point Field are infinite as is the field itself. It is the source of all present and future energy and the ultimate solution to the apparent energy shortage on earth. It is the primordial, timeless energy source from which all physical matter is created. Well done, Lynne!

Book Description
Understanding Molecular Simulation: From Algorithms to Applications explains the physics behind the "recipes" of molecular simulation for materials science. Computer simulators are continuously confronted with questions concerning the choice of a particular technique for a given application. A wide variety of tools exist, so the choice of technique requires a good understanding of the basic principles. More importantly, such understanding may greatly improve the efficiency of a simulation program. The implementation of simulation methods is illustrated in pseudocodes and their practical use in the case studies used in the text.
Since the first edition only five years ago, the simulation world has changed significantly -- current techniques have matured and new ones have appeared. This new edition deals with these new developments; in particular, there are sections on:
· Transition path sampling and diffusive barrier crossing to simulaterare events
· Dissipative particle dynamic as a course-grained simulation technique
· Novel schemes to compute the long-ranged forces
· Hamiltonian and non-Hamiltonian dynamics in the context constant-temperature and constant-pressure molecular dynamics simulations
· Multiple-time step algorithms as an alternative for constraints
· Defects in solids
· The pruned-enriched Rosenbluth sampling, recoil-growth, and concerted rotations for complex molecules
· Parallel tempering for glassy Hamiltonians
Examples are included that highlight current applications and the codes of case studies are available on the World Wide Web. Several new examples have been added since the first edition to illustrate recent applications. Questions are included in this new edition. No prior knowledge of computer simulation is assumed.

great book for MD basics.......2007-05-07
I was especially delighted about the Monte Carlo methods and the free energy calculation techniques.
Old fashioned fortran, strong bias on Monte Carlo.......2006-06-19
There is a very strong bias to MC methods in the book. What they have to say about Molecular Dynamics methods is not really new, most of it is virtually copied from the classic by Allan/Tildesley, and many MD techniques which they consider "advanced" (such as cell list methods, verlet tables, etc.) are shifted to one of the many appendices. They do not talk about ghostparticles for instance or give a detailed account of parallelized algorithms which is really state-of-the art today.
The code examples for download for the exercises, contain subtle errors, are not optimized for performance (which is THE most important thing in simulation business) and worst of all, are written in Fortran. The fact that they publish Fortran code must reflect the fact that at the time they learned how to program a computer there was no C, C++, JAVA, etc. and no object orientation in sight. Nowadays, probably no expert in programming would start a scientific and readable code in fortran. Also their definition of an algorithm is simply technically wrong. The authors are very sloppy here, have obviously no training in theoretical computer science and are obviously no experts for writing optimal code.
Scientifically, as far as physics is concerned, the book is sound, they give good arguments pro and against certain methods, but when you have already worked with Allan/Tildesley or Rappaport for many years you have the eery impression that they simply repeat many arguments from these books or from other research articles (They keep citing Allan/Tildesley a lot) Those things that are not more or less copied from other sources seems to reflect their own experience in this field which seems to be strongly limited to MC methods.
Although this book is sometimes praised I cannot really recommend it. Allan/Tildesley, and in particular the book by Rappaport are superior in stlye and in particluar as code examples are concerned. With Rappaport you get working code right away in proper C (albeit in Fortran-Style C -- again, the reason for this being the fact, that all these authors of Simulation books learned programming probably in the late 70's when Fortran was state-of-the-art). I nevertheless would recommend Rappaports book instead. The authors even offer scientific workshops based on their book (and probably make a lot of money with that). One can only hope that those are better than the coding examples of the exercises. Therefore only 2 stars.
Excellent text for beginners in simulation.......2004-11-20
Its an excellent book for those who are just beginners in MC & MD simulations. everything is very clearly explained with lot of examples and some related unsolved problems. the text explores this topic indetails with advanced chapters in later sections. Good for anybody int hsi field be it in materials science, physics or related fields.
Perfect for New Grad Students.......2002-11-24
This book is how I bootstrapped my way into being a molecular simulationist. Anyone who can program in some language can get started writing simple routines for the basic MD and MC simulations.
I do Monte Carlo simulations at Princeton, and found this book to be the most helpful available for getting my research started. It is my most common reference, and is used extensively in writing background information for various research documents.
However, after you have written your first few codes, you will pass the level of this book and need to move on. I use it less now than I did my first year.
Every student in my group (Panagiotopoulos) has this book I think. And like me, they started with it, but moved on.
A nice disappointment.......2001-08-30
The title of the book is overly ambitious and falls short on its promises. The book is a good introduction to Molecular Mechanics (MM), Molecular Dynamics (MD) and Monte Carlo (MC) methods, with detailed descriptions of the methods used and FORTRAN (pseudo)code, covering from the basics to some middle-level and some advanced algorithms.
But it does NOT cover all the fields of Molecular Modelling, just the three mentioned (MM, MD and MC), there's no coverage of quantum mechanics methods, nor QSAR or other technologies. And, while it described the algorithms, I can't think of it going all the way through up to building applications. For this, Rapaport's makes a better job, and for a general intro to Molecular Modelling, Grant & Richards' Computational Chemistry is more comprehensive (albeit at a more superficial level). Nor does it provide much detail on the methods used in modelling biological macromolecules, an increasing application field for the methods discussed in the book.
All in all, this book fails to satisfy its cover title, it won't introduce to the whole field (just the areas of MM, MD and MC) nor does it go up to application level. But it IS a REAL GOOD introduction to the subjects covered and their basic algorithms,
with sample code, detailed descriptions and plenty of references to specialized articles, texts and resources.
Book Description
The Force of Symmetry gives an elementary introduction to the spectacular interplay among the three great themes of contemporary physics: quantum behavior, relativity, and symmetry. In clear, nontechnical language, it explores many fascinating aspects of modern physics, discussing the nature and interaction of force and matter. All these themes are drawn together toward the end of the book to describe the most successful physics theory in history, the "standard model" of subatomic particles. The book is suitable for undergraduate students in physics and mathematics.

Modern physics as natural philosophy.......2004-08-26
As I write these words, I stop frequently to consider how they might best be arranged, an activity no different in principle from picking my way along a trail when hiking over tricky terrain. For human beings, walking and language production (at least spoken language) are natural, their potential part of our DNA, their actualization emblematic of a basic level of developmental health and social well being. Mathematics too has been called a language, and indeed certain features of this language (e.g. the ability of neonates to recognize small numbers of things) are innate. But none of us go on in the normal course of development to become fluent in mathematics without a great deal of difficult, sustained effort.
It has become axiomatic among people who write popular books on scientific subjects to suppose that physics cannot really be presented without mathematics. And if that axiom is true for classical physics, it is even more true for modern physics, the surreal world of quantum interference, antimatter, black holes and M theory.
But now along comes Dutch physicist Vincent Icke, and in his book THE FORCE OF SYMMETRY he has, one might say, renormalized popular accounts of modern physics. He has been able to state the concepts of modern physics in a way which is lucid, coherent and, in all but the very simplest instances, nonmathematical. The novice physicist will not have to unlearn any of the concepts he acquires in Ickes' book after he goes on to master the mathematical intricacies of quantum field theory. The advanced student can use Ickes' text to obtain a detailed topography of the field.
There is much to delight in this charming book. The five years I spent studying theoretical physics was a time of painful head banging on questions like, "How do you know this?" Few writers have the grace of Feynman, the ability to say about some arcane point, this is as much we know about it, no deeper than this. Icke, like Feynman, is very careful to signpost his epistemological wanderings. He lets the reader know when it is analogy, intuition, logic, experiment, convention, or metaphysics which is progenitor of some bit of physics knowledge.
Because of his careful attention to the grounding of his discourse, Icke does not fall into the deep pit which is, alas, standard in most popular science writing. You know what I mean. There you are, happy reader, blithely meandering along in someone's account of protein synthesis, the inflationary period, mathematical intractability... the subject doesn't matter. You are reading along, and you are beginning to feel the first faint blush of hope. Maybe you will understand it this time! And then you turn the page. And then the trail disappears. No matter how many times you go back and forth over the ground, there is now a chasm in your understanding as big as the Central Rift Valley. I first had this experience years ago reading Bertrand Russell's account of special relativity. All was well, and suddenly, darkness descended. I took the book to a friend who is a physicist at Lawrence Livermore, and asked, "Why can't I understand this?" He took a look, "You don't understand it because he has left out the following (very long list of) points." Thus I learned that it is OK to be simple minded in the world of science. Almost a gift, really.
Of particular note because of their exceptional clarity are the sections on: quantum interference, superposition, angular momentum, antimatter, gauge theory, isospin, Yang-Mills fields, the color field, symmetry and symmetry breaking. First published in 1995, the book has too little to say on string theory, but prophesied that supersymmetrical theories will lead the way in mapping what was then the frontier. Please Mr. Icke, update your book!
Physics, as Feynman said, keeps the simple stuff. The rest goes to chemistry, biology and engineering. Probably the line that most readers of Icke's book are sure to remember is this one: "Physics is not difficult; it's just weird." A funny little assertion, yet one that points in the direction of the kind of knowledge that physics is. The physics of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries has introduced us to a universe too strange (in the lexical sense) to even be imagined. Physics, in its many acts of discovery, has taken us further outside of ourselves than any other human study. The exploration of physics, by lay persons and physicists alike, is a thrilling adventure. It is science become natural philosophy, once again. Better than any other book of its kind, I found Vincent Icke's book to motivate this exploration. The last words are his: "in the book of physics, there never is a final sentence."
too ambitious.......2003-07-05
The author casts such a wide net he is forced
to give short shrift to recondite matters like
gauge theory. This hurried romp through deep
physics leaves the reader with jumbled impressions
and occasional outright misinformation (re e.g.
omission of quantum decoherence). The author is
not an expert in these fields would have been wiser
to bring in a technical collaborator.
A fine introduction.......2002-11-23
First, I feel I must refer back to F.A. Muller's review (also on this page, titled "Erros Abound").
Vincent Icke, the writer of "the force of Symmetry", *did* actually study theoretical physics (on the same university that Mr. Muller now resides) so I'm a little surprised to find that he "shouldn't really understand fundamental physics".
Actually, Mr. Icke studied under Tini Veltman, who won the Nobel Prize for Physics recently (together with Gerard 't Hooft) and is now professor of astrophysics (Leiden university) and cosmology (Amsterdam university).
I think "the Force of Symmetry" is an excellent primer on the subject of quantum behavior, relativity and symmetry. Besides (in my humble opinion) understanding, it's written with dry humour and love for the subject, and that's highly catching.
It urged me to want to know more on the subject(s), which is exactly what I'm going to do. So beware - it might catch on you too ;-)
Erros Abound.......2001-12-11
Enthusiastic and entertaining, but alas errors abound. The author
is an astronomer who doesn't really understand fundamental physics. Entire passages seem to be copied from Feynman.
And where Icke begins making additions of his own, they frequently -- and I imagine unintenionally -- display his lack of insight into physics. I cannot begin to list the examples here.
Excellent on many different levels.......2001-11-06
This book deserves a much wider readership. I think a layperson can not only grok most of the modern physics content in Icke but also see the motivation for why modern physics is formulated the way it is. The post-doc in physics should be equally pleased with the book--as far as I can tell Icke stays quite close to the truth and quite creative with language.
Book Description
Healing Energies of Heat and Light introduces a breakthrough in healing and disease prevention. A strange mixture of do-it-yourself healing steps are involved that stimulate a synergistic response when used together. The program is the development of qigong masters and includes the use of new light therapy devices that emit energy very close to chi itself.
Customer Reviews:
Amazing content throughout the entire book!.......2001-02-08
This is a very unique book that has some Qigong information that I haven't seen anywhere else. It focuses on combining several treatment modalities that have a synergistic effect that increases the speed and quality of the healing for many different problems. Much better than hearing about how this one thing is the very best or that one thing is the best. It's a combination of several things that work really well alone and they work even better when combined in the specific way this book talks about. This book has some incredible case histories that you just have to read for yourself. I have experienced the results on myself and can say first hand how easy, safe and effective it is.

Book Description
Hardbound. Molecular simulation is being increasingly used to study a widening range of both molecular systems and fluid phenomena. Today, the goal of many simulators is to study complicated molecules such as proteins, whereas attention was formerly confined almost exclusively to simple atoms and molecules. Similarly, the simulation of phase equilibria is nowadays quite common. The impetus for the increasing use of molecular simulation can be attributed to many factors such as improvements in theory, algorithms, and computer hardware. These novel developments have generated enormous growth in the simulation literature.
The aim of this book is to examine some of the important aspects of recent progress in the use of molecular simulation for investigating fluids. It encompasses both Monte Carlo and molecular dynamic techniques providing details of theory, algorithms and implementation. Details of new algorithms are described in pseudo code and the latest

good intention and useful, but disastrous C++ example code.......2004-04-08
I agree mostly with the other reviewers to say that this book is useful to some
extent for its brief review of molecular simulation and more so for the chapter
on object oriented programing.
However, I am really annoyed by the bad job done on the actual C++ example
code. While the class structure done in UML seems OK, the actual code is of a
very bad style and very misleading. I object to the fact that the code is still far
too procedural and encapsulation and information hiding have not really been
used at all. I found this really misleading, since I wanted to use the code and adapt
it to my own needs. There are some pretty dodgy style conventions also, such as
the inclusion of header files in header files, inconsistent class structure.
Beginners beware and keep a proper C++ for scientists and engineers book
on the side.
A very useful book.......2002-04-17
This is a very useful book, particularly for researchers and graduate students. It explains many Monte Carlo and molecular simulation algorithms. Some are familiar but many are not described in detail elsewhere. The review of the literature is very comprehensive and up-to-date. A novel and unique feature is Chapter 10 which shows how to write simulation code using object-oriented analysis. Code is also given in C++. The book is expensive but it is worth every penny just for this chapter alone.
Not the place to learn molecular simulation.......2002-02-18
The early chapters are really just a review of the available literature on the topic - a better place to start is the book by Frenkel and Smit. The redeeming feature is the interesting final chapter on object-oriented programming, though this won't interest everybody. For such an expensive book the typesetting and general layout is not as good as it could be.
An excellent book.......2001-10-20
The entire book is very clear. But I was impressed with the chapter devoted to the object oriented paradigm and its use in molecular simulation of fluids. The explanation is excelent from the computer science point of view. Also the use of the UML for the object oriented design process contributes for a good comprehension of the subject, specially for engineers.

This is a NAVAL SURFACE WARFARE CENTER CARDEROCK DIV BETHESDA MD HYDROMECHANICS DIRECT ORATE report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A649323. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: DMDC conducted the first Joint-Service, active-duty sexual harassment survey in 1988. In 1994-95, DMDC updated and re-administered the survey. This codebook and two others document survey-administration procedures and the datasets for the three 1995 surveys forms. Form A replicated the 1988 survey that produced the initial baseline data on sexual harassment in the active-duty Services. Form B differed from Form A in three major ways. It provided (a) an expanded list of 25 potential harassment behaviors; (b) an opportunity to report on experiences that occurred outside normal duty hours, not at work, and off the base, ship, or installation; and (c) updated measures of members' perceptions of complaint processing, reprisal, and training. Form C was created from parts of Forms A and B to assess the overlap of the incidence measures in the two Forms. A non-proportional stratified random sample of 91,006 personnel were selected: 30,756 for Form A, 50,394 for Form B, and 9,856 for Form C. Data collection was by mail starting 15 February 1995. Usable surveys were returned by 47,255 Service members for a weighted response rate of 54%. Responses were weighted up to population totals, adjusting for differential sampling and response rates in demographically homogeneous groups.
