Okay, but not exactly what I was looking for.......2007-07-13
My objective was simple-fast, small amount of common ingredients, appealing meal ideas.
This book called for some strange ingredients, some of the recipes looked tedious, and I really just wasn't very attracted to any of the meal ideas in here. Not the type of food I am going to be able to get husband to eat either, so I wound up sending it back.
I have had great success so far with a few other books:
Diabetic Low-Fat & No Fat Meals in Minutes
The Busy People Series of cookbooks.
The best cookbook to own.......2007-03-08

My favorite cookbook.......2003-12-23
This is the cookbook I depend on. I am a Lifetime member of Weight Watchers, and I used this book (and the other Quick and Healthy) when I was losing weight, and still use it all the time now that I am maintaining. There is enough nutritional information to calculate points. The ingredients are all readily available in our small town. You don't spend all afternoon in the kitchen. Everybody likes the result! I can't say enough good things about these books.

Shocking! Makes you think about ALL categorizations we use........2004-04-04
Caplan spends a lot of time developing an ideology around what American society views as normal and what it doesn't, and how we come up with those categories, as well as the consequences for those who don't happen to fit into the "normal" category. One of her main premises is that because of the categories in the DSM, women can almost never be categorized as normal. She further describes her journey in trying to keep particular categories out of the book that would have marginalized women further, using scientific data that actually refuted the non-scientific process the psychiatrists used to place categories and their criteria in the book. It was sometimes something as "lofty" as, "My wife has that symptom." "Oh, well, we'll take that one out then."
Her book is powerful, because it demonstrates the social construction of concepts like "normal," the power of labeling people "abnormal," the relative power and authority one must have to label someone "abnormal," and how much easier it has been for males to do it to females in the medical (esp. the mental health) establishment because until recently, females have been kept out of medicine.
Because her book is coming from such a strong "powerful vs. the powerless" perspective, it does lack a strong point that could have made this a more balanced view, and that is how individuals, even though they may lack power relative to the "labelers," can be complicit in their labeling. There can be benefits to being labeled, such as that it can legitimize women's complaints to have an official diagnosis, it can relieve individuals of full responsibilities for their actions or duties, it can give people an identity, and give people the illusion that the problems are contained within themselves rather than the environment or social structure in which they live, which probably won't change. All of these reasons help explain why people might accept a label or even label themselves. Caplan only seems to suggest that people are labeled against their wills and that's the end of it.
They Say Women are Crazy.......2002-11-01
Paula J. Caplan's book They Say You're Crazy: How the World's Most Powerful Psychiatrists Decide Who's Normal questions the validity of the DSM. Although psychiatrists claim that their manual is based on science, this is not always the case. Dr. Caplan describes how psychiatrists that decide who is normal "...too often slot people into categories for politically, economically, and emotionally charged reasons while pretending that they are operating in a solidly scientific way" (p. 34).
Caplan is a clinical psychologist and a feminist that criticizes mental disorders that are specifically for women. Regardless of the author's motivation for fighting these "disorders" and speaking out against them, she exposes many startling aspects of psychiatry. Disorders are voted into existence with little or no empirical evidence. Caplan comments on the DSM:
"To the untutored eye, and even to many mental health personnel, the DSM appears grounded in science, although many features that give this impression turn out on inspection to provide only a veneer of scientific sheen rather than genuine, carefully supported research. (p.186)"
Perhaps the most interesting parts of the book were where the author describes her personal experience working with the DSM committees for PMDD and SDPD. However, it is not much of a story because the committees did not really want her involvement, and left her out of most of the process. This aspect of the book is a unique contribution to the works of DSM criticism.
Some good, some bad.......2000-03-28
There are some good points in this book, some very good points, about how the people who write the DSM are not writing the manual of psychiatry that they say they are.
Then there are the parts of the book that truly confused me. Caplan tells the story of how she went through a period of sadness after finding out that a friend was terminally ill. Because of her sorrow about her friend, Caplan was experiencing sleeplessness and breathing problems. When she went to the doctor, he prescribed her tranquilizers, known as Halcion, which Caplan was all but dead-set against taking. She said, "There I was, an experienced psychologist who had never taken medication for an emotional upset and not want to, and I didn't think that that was what I was doing." Then she goes on to relate how the pills caused even greater depressive symptoms than she had previously experienced. The next day, Caplan described her symptoms to her naturopath, and the naturopath looked up the side effects and found that this is what was causing Caplan to be even more depressed.
I found myself wondering about several things after reading this paragraph. How could someone who is a psychologist herself not know:
a) what the drug Halcion was, considering its possible psychological side effects
b) how to find out the side effects of Halcion, as any psychologist in the country should know of, and possess a copy of the Physician's Desk Reference, a book that contains the descriptions, side effects, etc. of nearly every major drug on the market
c) how a woman of Caplan's stature, schooling, and self-confidence allowed herself to be talked into taking drugs that she didn't want to take, that she knew nothing about, and didn't bother to try to find anything about before she took them
This seems odd behavior for someone who is a fully trained psychologist, and leaves me questioning both Caplan's objectivity and reasoning.
For those reasons, as well as the fact that the book is sometimes unrelentingly dull, I gave the book only 2 stars.
A must for all psychology students........1999-03-04
A well-researched, inside view of how psychological diagnoses are created. Paula Caplan, an APA "Eminent Psychologist", clearly explains the pitfalls and dangers inherent in the process, and the implications for the lives of millions of clients.
Salt, Please.......1998-08-03
Ms. Caplan, at several points in the book, indicates that she ordinarily trusts authority implicitly, which is why her outrage is at Their malfeasance is so profound. This statement seems intended to assure us that this is no rebellious screed, but rather a critical expose.
What Ms. Caplan discovers is that the making of psychiatric diagnoses is not scientific, but political, and that the suffering of historically marginalized groups is often included as the symptoms of various psychiatric disorders.
For reasons that I
cannot fathom, she is surprised by this.
Psychiatry has without doubt benefited many people. However, the scientific foundation of the majority of practiced psychiatry is weak. It is very difficult to do double blind studies on human minds.
To be surprised that the naming of diagnoses is unscientific indicates a global misunderstanding of the content of the DSM
.
There are some good feminist nuggets herein, and the process of diagnosis creation is displayed. This reader, at least, found the events described by the book were as comedic as tragic. Since Ms. Caplan only excoriates the process, rather than giving it the good mocking it sometime deserves, her book is more boring than it should have been.

Denying History is a courageous and accessible study of "a looking-glass world where black is white, up is down, and the normal rules of reason no longer apply." Authors Michael Shermer and Alex Grobman have immersed themselves in the conferences, literature, and Web culture of Holocaust deniers; they have engaged the pseudo-historians in debate; and they have visited the concentration camps in Europe to investigate the truth of what happened there. Denying History presents Shermer and Grobman's findings. The book refutes, in detail, the Holocaust deniers' claims, and it demonstrates conclusively that the Holocaust did happen.It also explores the fundamental historical issue in all debates over the truth of the Holocaust: the question of "how we know that any past event happened." Thus, Denying History is a doubly useful book; it sets the record straight on one of history's most terrible events, and it instructs readers in the scientific, logical, and historiographical principles that can help us make wise judgments about history on our own. --Michael Joseph Gross
Book Description
Denying History takes a bold and in-depth look at those who say the Holocaust never happened and explores the motivations behind such claims. While most commentators have dismissed the Holocaust deniers as antisemitic neo-Nazi thugs who do not deserve a response, historians Michael Shermer and Alex Grobman have immersed themselves in the minds and culture of these Holocaust "revisionists." They have conducted personal interviews with the deniers, read their literature, monitored their Web sites, attended their conferences, engaged them in debate, and even traveled around Europe to conduct research at the Nazi extermination camps. Uncovering a complex social movement, the authors go much deeper than ever before in not only trying to understand the motives of the Holocaust deniers, but also refuting their points one by one. In the process, they show how we can be certain that the Holocaust happened and, for that matter, how we can confirm any historical event.

Propaganda.......2007-09-05
For some years now Michael Shermer, an adjunct professor at Occidental College and the editor of Skeptic magazine, has been a fixture on the revisionist scene: not because he agrees with revisionists, but because he is willing to openly discuss and debate elements of the Holocaust legend with them. Over the years he has, generally with good humor, engaged in lively exchanges with several leading revisionists, including Bradley Smith, Mark Weber, and Robert Faurisson. These contacts lent a highly personal and anecdotal flavor to his previous writing about Holocaust revisionism, in his 1997 book, Why People Believe Weird Things. In Denying History, Shermer has teamed with a devout Jew from the Simon Wiesenthal Center, Alex Grobman, ostensibly with a view to refuting once and for all the arguments of the "Holocaust deniers."
Around this central core, Denying History groups several long chapters at the beginning which discuss the writing of history, and provide in depth personal descriptions of many leading revisionists, including Mark Weber of the Institute for Historical Review. Towards the end of the book there are several arguments designed to convince the reader that, yes, Hitler was responsible for the Holocaust, and yes, it was the worst thing that ever happened. None of this is particularly edifying. Meanwhile, Shermer and Grobman seemed locked in a time warp: they fail to discuss any of the extensive revisionist forensic and documentary research of the past several years.
On the whole, Denying History is simply an expansion of what Shermer offered in his previous book: various vignettes about leading revisionists, speculations as to why they believe what they believe, without the slightest thought that they might be at least partly right. Shermer, as before, deserves praise for his patient, almost didactic tone when discussing revisionists, but, also as before, he falls far short in his efforts to provide any proof of what he alleges as fact. The sole novelty of the book comes from the presentation of additional evidence for mass gassing and the existence of an extermination program. But this evidence, as usual in Holocaust histories, doesn't really move beyond the implausibilities of the eyewitness accounts, and the supplementary detail in the end proves nothing, except, perhaps, the existence of a bomb shelter in the Mauthausen crematorium.
Didn't have the impact it should of.......2007-05-18
Is this a well research book....but of course...........Does it prove that the holocaust happened...........to some extent I won't argue with that.......Will it silence Holocaust Deniers.......I doubt it.
This is a great book but it fails to answer or prove one powerful argument that holocaust deniers like to shove on peoples face.

< 6 MILLIONS JEWS DIDNT DIE DURING THAT WAR? >>>>.
I have never met someone denying the holocaust, but the debate here is how much jews died. And if people called the holocaust as a never seen massacre I'll say "hey check out the continent in the south", or " the peninsula in the Eastern Continent.
An Antidote to Ignorance.......2007-04-02
Those who should know better, such as author James P. Hogan(who calls revisionists/deniers "more scholarly, scientific and convincing" than historians who tell the truth), claim that the excusers of genocide have legitimate arguments. As this book shows, there's confirmation to refute them from Nazis themselves (which cannot remotely be defined as "coerced"), eyewitnesses to the gas chambers, plenty of documentation detailing Nazi intentions and actions and enough debate within the realm of true academia to address all remaining unknowns. Those who deny seek only to spread anti-semitism, cover-up horrendous crimes and open the door for more of the same, finishing the job left uncompleted in the 40s. It's quite sad that in this day and age, morality is still muddy enough on the part of some people that they can't see Nazis and their defenders as evil. For those who can read with open eyes and clear minds, this book should be helpful.
Much More than Just Bashing the Denier Wackos.......2007-02-07
While it is a great reply to those who deny the historicity of the Holocaust, it addresses the question of historical methodology. The authors demonstrate how we know the truth of historical events based on many pieces of evidence and review the issues of historical subjectivity and objectivity. Further, they show how the deniers distort honest historical methodology to reach a predetermined conclusion. The deniers are not the "Revisionists" they claim to be, boldly asking unasked questions, but ideologues for whom only one kind of answer is acceptable.
A Very Enjoyable and Erudite Read.......2006-10-08
The book is about Holocaust deniers, yet it is more than that. It looks at questions of historiography in general- who writes history, why they write it, and how they write it. The authors' writing style is of the absolute highest calibre. Like most History of Science guys, Shermer can tell a tale, and Grobman is also a skilled author. The book is never boring, even when it has a chapter or section on something which you are sure you will not be interested. It tells us all about the folks who are Holocaust deniers (although I would like to have learned more about Arthur Butz), noting that not all of them are psychologically impaired idiots. Some are well-educated, some are charming, some (David Irving) are skilled writers and researchers. Another point the authors make is that Holocaust deniers really know a lot about the Holocaust, and you can't beat them in a debate unless you really, really know your stuff. What holds the deniers together, of course, is their hatred of Jews & Judaism (which they call "the traditional enemy"!). You will really learn a lot from reading this book about the Holocaust, and you will learn it in a, there is no other word for it, "fun" manner. For those with any trepidation about tackling this subject you should note that its like you are not even reading a historical monograph- the book is that accessible. Once you read this book and ruminate on just how much evidence there is that the Holocaust happened, one really has to wonder about what in this day and age motivates certain folks to dislike Jews so much they would deny the undeniable. I can understand why Malaysians hate Jews- George Soros tried to ruin their economy to make a buck and they are a third world country which has no other Jews around to judge him against, but what excuse is there for Americans, Canadians & West Europeans? Given that money from our good friends in Muslim countries (and Venezuala) are more and more funding Holocaust denials, you need to read this book!!

Although the title says it "Quick & Healthy", I found out that most of the ingrediants in a lot of the recipes isn't something that the average person would have in their home. But there are some great hints for subsituting items.
The best healthy cook book ever!.......2006-02-27
I have been on a mission to turn over a new leaf and start eatting healthy. I have bought a few healthy cook books and they were hard to follow. By luck, I stumbled upon this book on Amazon.com. This is exactly what I was looking for! Simple, easy to follow recipes. Delicious and they don't seem low fat at all. I made the Wheat Pancakes for my family today and they loved them. I also made the Herb Potato Salad and it was a breeze and so yummy. I'm going to make the Cialantro & Coconut Milk Chicken tonight. I can't wait to make more.

Ever wondered to yourself who "They" are? Well, I have asked myself that very question for years.
Have you ever been in a conversation and someone will say something like, "They say it's going to rain tomorrow". Well, who the heck are They? Are They some type of authority on the subject? Are They just people giving their opinions? Who are They and where do They come from?
Over the past year, I have consulted with many friends, family members, and colleagues to investigate the mystery of "They" and what I have found may entertain you. I have compiled a list of 100 They Say... anecdotes for you to enjoy and you can determine once and for all who "They" are!

Book Description
Women are the subject of Terrance Jackson's Words from the Heart: For Those People Who Know What They Want to Say but Can't Express It in Words—women as lovers, wives, seductresses, angels, mothers, sinners, and "Fire." Jackson's love/hate relationship with the female of the species is evident in his collected works. In one poem, he praises her for her beauty and femininity—in another, he condemns her to the eternal flame. As a result, a brilliant moral dichotomy emerges wherein not only the women who are the subject of these poems are being judged, but also the mean they encounter.

Emotionally Captivating.......2005-10-26
The tender subjects and wording that the author uses swells the readers emotions then gives a sigh of relief afterward. His bold, yet sensitive platform as it relates to womanhood, relationships and life experience are sure to make most any reader crave more.
Elegance.......2005-04-05
Words From The Heart is one of the best poetry books that I have ever read in my lifetime. Many of the poems in the book express feelings that I have had, or heard others talk about. I recommend this book to anyone who can't find the words that will show what one's heart is feeling.
True Spoken Words.......2005-03-25
I relate with this book so much. There are passages that sums up my thoughts. It's as if I have the thoughts on my mind and can't get them out, but he words the thoughts I can't get out of my mind. I like how it relates to everyday events in life. After reading this book, I think just about any race, sex and gender can gain a thing or 2 from this book.
Must read.......2004-07-18
This is one of the best books I've read this year. Jackson's words really seem to relate to a lot of my present and formal situations. Jackson has excellent wording and uses wonderful analogies.
The Best!!!.......2004-07-16
I loved this book. I love how he expresses his feeling and emotions about women. He tells it straight forward,how women made him feel. It is a great book. All women and men should read this book.
