Carter Books

Those of you searching for this book should look under the New Miracles of Rebound Exercise which is in print. This newer edition is even more amazing. "healthbounce.com" is a good source for those interested in the Rebound Exercise industry and the current trend toward "Rebound Aerobics".

Al Carter still writes a monthly newsletter worth reading.

The explaination of the benefits of rebound exercise is not only easily understood -it's fun. Almost as much fun as actually rebounding. How wonderful that something so simple and so much fun can provide such amazing results in so many areas - aerobics, strength, health and so many more. The results come without stress to the body - the joints in particular. Can a seemingly perfect exercise really be this simple? The answer is: Yes, it can. Perhaps it is a miracle as the title suggests.

Everyone should read this book and tell everyone they know about it! With the possiblities present with rebound exercise there is no need to spend so much time and effort trying to get into good physical condition. Rebounding is the most efficient exercise and the most effective. Rebounding can also improve vision! and help people with learning challenges. There is more here than you would ever imagine...and it is all explained very well in this book.

This is a text set apart from the pack. It clearly states what other books attempt to describe. There need to be more texts on the market like this. Dr. Carter has taken a subject that has historically been elusive, and presented it in a comprehensive, READABLE volume. This text is helping me through my thesis in chemistry. It is highly practical, easily read, and heavily referenced, all of the qualities, I believe, that make up an excellent text! Excellent work!

this small book on symmetry and group theory is easy to understand and packed with examples. it is a small book (only about 300 pages) but everything in it is relevant and to the point. the writing is easy to grasp and the back includes character tables for all the common symmetry groups. buy it!

The strength of this book is its many examples. Carter takes the concepts and applies them to simple inorganic or organic compounds. Very helpful to students. The end of chapter problems are nice as well. A great text and one that I would recommend to students as well as faculty.

An amazing book in many ways. It is comprised of 22 questions that face every person on the planet. The questions are ones that mankind has been searching for answers ever since he has wondered why things are as they are.
The answers have been supplied by 22 Nobel Prize laureates.One of the traits of brilliant people is their ability to explain the complex in a simple way that can be easily understood.Although ,on first glance,one might be tempted to dismiss this book as one only suitable for school students;but it is a book suitable for all ages and all levels of knowledge.
Only if you could give an answer to the following questions,would this book not be worth your time to read.

How do I win the Nobel Prize?

Why can't I live on French Fries?

Why do we have to go to school?

Why are some people rich and others poor?

Why do we have scientists?

What is politics?

What is love?

Why do we feel pain?

Why is pudding soft and stone hard?

Why is the sky blue?

How does the telephone work"

Will I soon have a clone?

Why is there war?

Why do mom and dad have to work?

What is air?

Why do I get sick?

Why are leaves green?

Why do I forget some things and not others?

Why are there boys and girls?

Why does 1+1=2?

How much longer will the earth keep turning?

Now that you know the questions,and also know how well you might answer the;let Nobel Prize laureates ,who have been recognized for their work and knowledge in their fields ;give you answers to them. And their answers are unbelievably understandable.

My seven year old daughter loves this book. It tackles a wide array of topics (nutrition, poverty, economics, love) in a kid-friendly way without sacrificing important concepts. As a parent, I often tire of reading children's books aloud, but this one is as interesting for me as it is for my daughter. My daughter likes the book so much that she carries it in her backpack for emergency reading material and agreed that it would make a lovely Christmas gift for her 8-year-old cousin. It would also be appropriate for boys and I believe it will still be interesting throughout her elementary school years. I hope that the publisher will continue to tap into the brilliant minds and thoughtful pedagogy of the Nobel community and publish another volume or two.

This book was so great, I can't imagine why someone would not like it. Some parts were so good, I reread them many times. WHY WE HAVE TO GO TO SCHOOL, WHAT IS POLITICS were a few of my favorites but WHAT IS LOVE, WHY ARE SOME PEOPLE RICH AND OTHERS POOR were not so good. Overall, this book is a sure hit!

A friend gave me this book, and I got a huge kick out of it. It's smart, funny, and original. I couldn't put it down.

This is the kind of book that makes your heart bigger at least for a while. It's funny and sad and hip and real.

This is a wonderful book about a young woman reaching a crisis in her life. It is not corny fiction. It is completely and brutally honest about women's true feelings about men, and it has an ending that will make your hair stand on end. Carter is one terrific writer -- at once sensitive and poetic and yet completely down to earth and willing to get into the gutter. I recommend it highly.

This book is ONE TO HAVE and the CEREMONY is a MUST. But the story start with the unknown, you do not know, you just do it because you have the guts to do it, from there you need to keep the connection and read the book few times. In short time you open yourself to all universe and you understand and fill things, which you did not know before. The book is like an encrypted poetry and that make it more challenging and more interesting. Adrian

Juliet Carter has written a truly fascinating book. The writing is very unusual and I could only read a little at a time. This book was written in a trance state which is obvious from the writing style. I could really feel the frequency that this book transmits. There are interesting stories of Juliet's journey to receiving the information for this Ceremony that the book descibes. It really opened my eyes to what is going on on the planet and gives a lot of hope. I highly recommend you read it more than once. For each time new information sinks in. I can't wait to do the Ceremony it talks about.

FACT: 98% OF HUMAN GENETICS ARE NON-FUNCTIONING Juliet Carter's book outlines the impact of the genetic modification of DNA and the resultant disconnection of Human Bio-circuitry. Explaining that the resurrection of our full codes will render us sentient soverign beings impervious to the psycho, social, chemical and electromagnetic manipulation of our consciousness. Linking the reconnection of circuitry to the revitalization of our endocrine system and ultimately to ascension. Written in trance, this dazzling quantum poetry marries the new paradigm of higher physics with spirit. The result is a living intelligence that engages the mind whilst transmitting a harmonic that can be understood in the heart. This book's ultimate gift is to put us in touch with the many international Ambassadors able to facilitate the reconnection of bio-circuitry.

This book is an excellent staple in the library of people pleasers. Carter outlines many situations I've seen myself or others in, and gives practical solutions to setting boundaries for oneself and the demands of others. I especially liked the end of each chapter where he provides introspective questions and even space to write your answer. I didn't write my answers in, because I wanted my husband (who is also a people pleaser) to read it, and also I'm keeping the book to read and review again in a few years, and my answers may be different then.

All in all, this is a straightforward, easy-to-read, practical guide for people who are really overwhelmed by trying to please others (usually unsuccessfully). When I applied some of the techniques I learned in this book, I was astonished at the power I felt over myself and situations where I had previously felt helpless.

For example, I was having lunch with a friend, who was yet again complaining about her "horrible" husband, but never giving him any credit for anything good he does (he's not a bad guy, just has a big nag for a wife). During the course of the conversation she said something like "my husband is just so demanding and stubborn!" to which I replied, "as are you!" This is something I would never have said previously, but I was sick and tired of agreeing with her to try to make her feel better. She instantly shut up, the conversation turned from there, and I subsequently had a nice break from her company for a while. :)

Another not-so-user-friendly, but very helpful book I would recommend is "Why is it Always About You? The Seven Deadly Sins of Narcissism," by Sandy Hotchkiss.

I thought this was an awesome book. It really really hit home for me. Now I know that I've been a people pleaser since I was a child, how it happened and what to work on to change it! This is the most important book for me that I have ever read. I practically highlighted the whole book!
It's so great to be able to put a label on it. Being a people pleaser can make you miserable and depressed and it can also be a turn off...

Yesterday I purchased this book with the intent that I would not like it and would take it right back after reviewing it. It less than 1 hour of reading it, it has become my salvation! I have been so unhappy and did not realize why until I read Les Carter's PEOPLE PLEASERS. In a flash I am cured of my curse of being sickeningly helpful - all to my detriment.I thought I should see a therapist, because I cound not understand why I felt I had to be so nice and helpful to everyone and almost nobody ever returned a kindness. This book was easy to understand and extremely helpful and though I will continue to be a pleaser, I have learned how to successfully please without hurting myself. I wish Les Carter had come into my life sooner. The rest of my life is now in control and I feel more confident -- the book made me realize I had to change -- it wasn't about other people it was all about me. Thank you Mr. Carter!

I'd give this 6 stars if I could! I work with struggling readers who will find any excuse to NOT read, but when it comes to this series they beg for more time to read the books!

My son who reads only when he has to loves to read these comics.
Give it a try for the "do I have to" readers.

I have a ten year old who is struggling with reading. He is caught in the cycle of reading is no fun because he doesn't do it well, and the only way to improve is to read more, but he doesn't want to read because it is no fun. This series breaks that cycle. He reads and re-reads these over and over and I have noted a marked improvement in his skills over the last few weeks.

The Prayer Tradition of Black People by Reverend Harold Carter of New Shiloh Baptist Church (Baltimore) is an excellent study, based on Dr. Carter's dissertation. (St Mary's Seminary & University has a copy of his dissertation, but of course regrettably it cannot be borrowed.) It is also regrettable that this scholarly book that examines the prayers and prayer life handed down by nineteenth-century enslaved American blacks probably has not been issued anew since its publication in 1976.

Dr. Carter reproduced copiously the prayers that were copied by folklorists or prayers secured from interviews of religionists or recalled by observers of religious services of postbellum and Southern blacks in the 20th-century. The Rev. Dr. Carter provides an excellent analysis of the form, technique, biblical source, and style of these prayers. Many of which are still in use today because they have been passed down orally in the rural districts of the South from one generation to the next during the annual summer revivals.

This short book, probably about 145 pages, has no rivals. Few if any have performed or continued Dr. Carter's study. This book indeed should be read and that if it is out of print Dr. Carter and the publisher should be encouraged to bring out another edition.

This is an excellent work for seminary or bible students or just regular lay people or for students interested in the linguistic or literary history of African-Americans. Even an old copy is better than none at all. Grab a copy, even one that has been marked up, and check out this wonderful work on black religious life.

Researching my book, "Beyond the Suffering: The Story of African American Soul Care and Spiritual Direction," I have literally read hundreds of books on African American Church history. Harold Carter's work, "The Prayer Tradition of Black People," is by far the best book I've read on the history of African American prayer life.

Why? What makes it so powerful? Rev. Carter displays a unique ability, rare among historians, to unearth buried historical riches and then to share them as a gift that provides resources for people today.

Repeatedly, Dr. Carter provides excellent primary sources, quoted and explained in context. Then, he goes the next step. He engages his readers in pondering the implications for their lives today.

Though written thirty years ago (1976), "The Prayer Tradition of Black People" is timeless. Others have written admirably on the topic, but none better than Pastor Carter.

Reviewer: Bob Kellemen, Ph.D., is the author of "Beyond the Suffering: Embracing the Legacy of African American Soul Care and Spiritual Direction", "Soul Physicians," and "Spiritual Friends."

Author Michele Howe has given the gift of hope and solace for hearts facing difficulties in life with this special book. She helps the reader realize the importance of taking time for prayer and meditation when dealing with struggles or tough times. Each chapter begins with a story and ends with scripture, devotional prayer and an inspiring quotation. Michele reminds the reader through her gentle and encouraging words that when challenged, one should turn in prayer to the Source of all encouragement and love for strength. This would be an excellent gift for someone facing a time of grief, stress or discouragement, or an addition to your own devotional library.

Michele Howe's latest book, Prayers of Comfort and Strength speaks to women with relevancy and hope. It is an excellent source of encouragement in the face of trial and doubt. Michele illustrates struggles that we all face- both devastating and daily- and helps us to overcome. Every account includes an insightful prayer to direct us back to God for His guidance and mercy.

I just finished reading Prayer of Comfort and Strength by Michele Howe and truly feel encouraged to continue on in my christian walk with increased vigor. The book offered many situational stories that described what I and many of my friends are struggling with. The prayers offered seem to put just the right words to my own unspoken concerns and thoughts that at times overwhelm my sense of hope. After reading several of the prayers I felt redirected toward the Lord who is always available to offer me grace and love and renewed hope. Thanks Michele for encouraging a fellow sojourner to go to the source of Hope when things seem hopeless...

Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950) was a prodigy of imagination. He started his writer career quite late; his first work was published in 1912. From that point on a ceaseless flow of imaginary worlds & heroes poured from his pen: John Carter of Mars, Carson Napier of Venus, David Innes and Abner Perry on Pellucidar at Earth's center and the most famous of them all Tarzan of the Apes.
As many reviewers of this and other ERB stories point out, do not expect "politically correct" tales, they are the product of a society still torn by racial prejudices.

"Princess of Mars" is an astounding piece of fantasy. First story of ERB to be published it contains the seeds of lots of sci-fi and Fantasy novels to come in the following years. Also we may detect some traits of Tarzan in John Carter character.
It's a pleasure to read so "fresh" adventures depicting a whole planet culture, interaction between different races, monsters, ecology, and inventions far ahead of ERB real world, as "rifles with explosive bullets guided by wireless sensors".

It amazes me how ERB can master in a not so extensive text (for our standards); a high paced action story. Even if this book is 90 years old, you will enjoy it from the first to the last page and possibly continue reading all Carter's series.
Reviewed by Max Yofre.

This is a nice Dover reprint of the first of Edgar Rice Burrough's Mars novel, which first appeared serialized in wide-circulation pulp magazines in the early years of the twentieth century.

Never quite as popular as Burrough's Tarzan books, the Mars series ranks right up there with the Pellucider (center of the earth) as fantasies dear to the hearts of boys of all ages. (Personally, I've always liked the Mars series better than Tarzan or Pellucider, but--as my wife notes--Burroughs does have a thing about apes, which appear on Mars as well as in the African jungle.)

The story is completely implausible, even for its time. Burrough's gee-whiz fascination with pseudo-science such as radon as a universal energy source, and mystical "rays" unknown on earth, ring particulalarly hollow.

Plopped down among the green hordes of war-like Mars, Virginia gentleman John Carter ex of the Confederate army unites the green Thark hordes to aid the Heliumite civilization of red Martians and win the hand of the incomparable Dejah Thoris in the first of the eleven Mars books.

The book is written in language that probably was intentionally pompous and archaic even for its own time, making it a great vocubulary expander for today's kids who some day will face the SATs. It's amazing that in the hundred years since it was first published, and the millions of copies sold, no one has gone through this book to fix the words spelled incorrectly and other typos.

The book conforms to todays PG rated movie standards: tons and tons of violence, and no sex. Well, Martians are hatched from eggs, anyhow.

I first read this book, and the other books in the Mars series, as a kid, far longer ago than I care to admit. Now, I'm reading them to my eight-year-old son, who loves them.

Flaws, weirdnesses, and bizarre language to the despite, I highly recommend the Edgar Rice Burroughs Mars books to anyone who has a taste for tales of fantastic adventures!

"I have never told this story nor shall mortal man see this manuscript until I have passed over for eternity. I know that the average human mind will not believe what it can not grasp......"

Written in 1912 this book is well written for its time. Captain Carter is telling the story form memory as an old man of his adventures here on earth and on the planet of Barsoom (Mars). There are encounters with many strain creatures, situations, and yes even a "Princess of Mars." The forward to the book alone will capture your imagination.
