Morrison Books

I enjoyed this book - all 13 chapters. It kept my interest throughout and I read it in two sittings. What an awesome concept on guardian angels. I found myself pulled into the story and wondering what would happen next. I liked it.

For a textbook, this book isn't all that bad. I used this for my database administration courses for college, and it was written in a way that made databases very easy to understand.

This amazing, well-researched book will be of interest to anyone who advocates integrated or alternative medicine. Thirty-five plants and their medicinal uses are discussed in detail. I found it interesting that their uses have changed little since Bible times. For example, mint was a "healing and curative agent" then, and still is today--peppermint stimulates the heart; spearmint is good for stress relief. This is not a book about old-fashioned out-dated remedies, but a scholarly work of up-to-date knowledge of the healing plants.

David Morrison has made a very important contribution to the history of the Holocaust. As in a few similar historical studies, he exposes the shameful betrayal of the European Jews by most of the American Jewish leaders, mainly by Stephen wise. Although still not widely recognized, war time records of activities of the Jewish leaders in America have been described, such as in David Wyman's THE ABANDONMENT OF THE JEWS. David Morrison has added a few important revelations about the silence of the labor Zionists when the terrible news of the Nazi extermination activities were already common knowledge in America. He shows that a combination of timidity, self rightousness, the worship of FDR, and their fanatic devotion to Zionism were important factors in the Jewish leadership tragic abandonment of the European Jews. A very important contribution in this book is the description of the pre- war Holocaust against the German Jews, which was not less brutal than the one that followed. The labor Zionists Jewish leaders put their idiologies (socialism, Zionism)and their love affair with FDR above the life of friends and relatives. And the catalists for this inaction was no doubt their ghetto mentality. Also, Morrison gives ample description of the activities of Peter Bergson and his small band of Palestinian Jews who, against all odds and hostile treatment by the "established" Jewish leaders, managed to enlist the support of many Americans, mostly gentiles, to the cause of rescue. This heroic enterprise resulted in the creation of the War Refugee Board (WRB)in 1944 by a reluctant FDR (for political reasons)who is credited for saving of 200,000 Jews. American Jewery has not yet come to terms with the shameful behavior of most of its leaders during the darkest period in Jewish history. And to this day, Ben Gurion, Moshe Sharett, Chaim Weizmann, Nachum Goldman, and other Jewish leaders of the 1940's are remembered as heroes where in fact they were collaborators in the extermination of their own people. Despite the recent wide interest in the Holocaust and the repetition of "never again", I don't see much hope for the future. As long as humanity insists on electing leaders, they'll always put political expediency and self interest before the welfare of their fellow men. And when such leaders turn out to be cowards, as was FDR and his Jewish contemporaries, there is no hope at all.

This is essential reading for anyone who wants to know what was being done within the American Jewish community during the Holocaust. He delves deeply yet readably into the details of who did what, when, with whom, and why.

To compile this book, Dr. Morrison distilled thousands of pages of personal records of the personalities involved, and eventually teased out the truth. Much of his research was in public archives, but which have never been published elsewhere. Some of what he found is surprising, some is shocking, and some is infuriating. Much of what he says is controversial, but it's all well researched and well documented.

He does an excellent job of letting the letters of the major actors speak for their authors, while at the same time giving us a readable yet insightful history of a time whose lessons we must learn, lest it be repeated.

I apologize if this sounds like I'm shamelessly plugging this book, but I really am very impressed with it.

This edition of the Holocaust by Bea Stadtler is an amazing book. It is great for young adults and children. It really opens their eyes to the horrific and horrendous time in our history and at the same time, makes you proud to know that books like this are being written by amazing authors such as Bea Stadtler!

Keri Hulme's extraordinarily vivid writing brings to life three wild and beautiful places in the South Island of New Zealand. Whether or not the reader has ever visited Okarito, Moeraki or Rakiura, the text makes them real, so that you can feel the surge of the wild West Coast surf, smell the kelp, see the grains of sand amidst the foam on the beach, and hear the chiming songs of the birds in the coastal forest. Robin Morrison's talented eye provides photographs that support the text in providing a glimpse into some of the quiet special places of the world.

Honey Burke is a delight - endearingly funny as she sets about getting "cosmick" proof that she "matters". And the way she makes her prince an immortal, is a hoot. I recommend it to anyone wanting a breezy, deftly told story that takes place, as you say, in that last great magical year, 1929.

Doug Morrison's book is an awesome effort to present an extremely broad truly holistic modality for healing. It is extremely well articulated and well organized. As a reference book, it is unsurpassed and one to which I will refer often. It is reader friendly, including both highly technical and anecdotal information. I have personal experience in seminars both with Doug and his late mentor, Dr. John Whitman Ray, and this book is a beautiful expression of their teachings which up to now have not been available in print. Their combination of nutrition, physical/emotional/spiritual disciplines, and the very unique Body Electronics is a contribution to the literature (and life!) that goes way beyond, both in breadth and depth, anything I have encountered in more than 30 years of "alternative" searching. What an accomplishment! Thank you, Doug!

Wow! What a book! His yrs. of extensive study of what is required to truly heal is distilled down into this book. I've met the author and can tell you that he lives and breathes his teachings and is a great inspiration to all that behold him!
