The Astrology of Sexuality
by Martin SchulmanHere we have a revolutionary breakthrough in sexuality. The entire astrological chart of all twelve houses becomes involved in the sexual experience. How does the second house reveal one's values and morals? In what way does it balance with the eighth house of one's sexual needs? How does the fifth house reveal the ability to create sexual pleasure? From the dreams and fantasies, to the sexual act and the fulfillment of love, Martin Schulman explains in careful detail how the sign on each house brings out the individuality of one's sexual life. With special attention to the planetary energies, the aspects and sexual activity as well as the importance of sex karma, Mr. Schulman presents here a truly definitive work on astrologically understanding sexual needs and behavior. A thoroughly-researched masterpiece, this innovative book starts where others leave off . . . transcending the ordinary meaning of the eighth house and reaching into the realms of sexuality as a totally enriching experience affecting every fiber of one's being. Fascinating chart delineations of significant individuals such as Sigmund Freud, Casanova, and Hugh Hefner, along with another of the now famous Schulman allegories makes this work a thoroughly rewarding experience.

Toning: The Creative Power of the Voice
by Laurel Elizabeth KeyesToning is an ancient method of healing, which I hope will be recognized and used with new understanding now that we have more scientific explanations for it. It does not depend upon faith, nor belief in the method, any more than these are necessary to our use of electricity to provide light and energy in our daily living. There appear to be certain natural flows of energy in our bodies and if we recognize them and cooperate with them, they benefit us. Toning is not limited to one's religion, or lack of it. It does not require one's belief. Apparently it is not a "gift" but something available to anyone who goes through the mechanics of letting the voice express itself in a natural way. Anyone who can groan can Tone and experience its benefits. There is no mystery about Toning. It can be understood through material science, physiology and psychology as well as the most ancient concepts of man's relationship to his God. Please try it.

Long after both of us felt that our initial therapeutic goals had been achieved, something in Ivy would not let her rest until she had relived the forty-sixth life and brought to light the circumstances of what the Buffalo, N.Y., police still listed as an unsolved homicide over sixty years later." -Dr. Bruce Goldberg

Recommended Dietary Allowances (10th edition)
by Subcommittee on the Tenth Edition of the RDAs National Research CouncilSince its introduction in 1943, "Recommended Dietary Allowances" has become the accepted source of nutrient allowances for healthy people. These Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) are used throughout the food and health fields. Additionally, RDAs serve as the basis for the U.S. Recommended Daily Allowances, the Food and Drug Administration's standards for nutrition labeling of foods. The "10th Edition" includes research results and expert interpretations from years of progress in nutrition research since the previous edition and provides not only RDAs but also "Estimated Safe and Adequate Daily Dietary Intakes" - provisional values for nutrients where data were insufficient to set an RDA. Organized by nutrient for ready reference, the volume reviews the function of each nutrient in the human body, sources of supply, effects of deficiencies and excessive intakes, relevant study results, and more. The volume concludes with the invaluable "Summary Table of Recommended Dietary Allowances," a convenient and practical summary of the recommendations.
Healing Quest: The Sacred Space of the Medicine Wheel
by Marie HerbertWhen her youngest daughter, Pascale, was preparing to leave for boarding school, Marie Herbert wanted to mark the end of the child-rearing phase of her life by a rite of passage. Wishing to find a new life-path for herself, she planned to go on a vision quest-a journey of personal transformation-under the guidance of Native American healers. Pascale's sudden, tragic death made-Herbert's odyssey far more poignant and urgent than she could have imagined. Healing Quest is the extraordinary description of Marie Herbert's inner and outer journey toward a renewed wholeness. She traveled through the southwestern United States, meeting with different Native American shamans, master storytellers, and medicine people. These healers kept suggesting that she shouldn't go through with her preconceived notion of the vision quest, and that she should, instead, listen to what her spirit needed. During her journey, she met Jamie Sams, creator of The Sacred Path and Medicine Cards, who convinced her that the fasting required in a vision quest was not "the feminine way." With Sams' help, Herbert realized that her spirit yearned for the feminine energy of a healing quest. Herbert offers a fascinating account of the Native American ceremonies and rituals in which she participated before the climax of her transformation-four days and nights alone and apart, seeking wholeness within the sacred space of the medicine wheel.
