Stay natrually slim and young —     The only way to lose weight permanently is to detoxify fattening chemicals out of the body, and to avoid foods that are highly toxic. Chemicals bring about their fattening effect by damaging our body's natural weight control mechanism, or "Slimming System" which has worked relatively well for hundreds of thousands of years. Synthetic chemicals such as pesticides, plastics, solvents, etc. are known to damage critical parts of our fat-burning hormones. This damage results in an increased appetite, reduced fat-burning metabolism, and a fall in the basic desire to exercise. The first step in getting a grip on obesity that has taken hold particularly in North America and also in Europe, is to minimize toxicity in our bodies; while complete purification is no longer possible. The second step is to become selective in the choice of our food intake, keeping toxins away, increasing nutrients that keep our vital organs healthy, in particular our liver which processes and removes toxins. The third step is a mental, an attitudinal one, asking ourselves why are we doing this? ISBN 978-1499522327 - 152 pages, illustrated. How to order online The full-color edition - paperback.

First published 1888. “My Secret Life is by far the most famous and the longest sexual autobiography written in the nineteenth century. It has in it invaluable material for social and cultural historians, literary scholars, students of manners and morals—and it has more of what we might call ‘encounters’ than any narrative ever penned in English.” (From the Introduction by James Kincaid, 1996. New York: Signet Classic - Penguin Putnam.) First published in 1901 entitled "The Dawn of Sensuality," it has been published in many forms and titles, and seized by censors and police. until it was eventually published in the United States without censorship in 1966 by Grove Press. But in 1969 a British printer, Arthur Dobson, was sentenced to two years' imprisonment for producing a reprint in Great Britain. My Secret Life has been described as "one of the strangest and most obsessive books ever written. "I suppose Fred knew nothing of the girl's pranks, for luckily a kunta cannot speak." (Volume II, p. 119) "Women have been the greatest joy of my life, and are so to every true man, from infancy to old age. Copulation is the highest pleasure, both to the body and mind, and is worth all other human pleasures put together. A woman sleeping or waking is a paradise to a man, if he be happy with her, and he cannot spend his money on anything better, or so good."

Cezanne can be said to form the bridge between late 19th century Impressionism and the early 20th century's new line of artistic enquiry, Cubism. The line attributed to both Matisse and Picasso that Cezanne "is the father of us all" cannot be easily dismissed.   ISBN 978-1478375494 - 197 pages, 183 color plates 8½ x 11 inches, 270 paintings.

His Majesty the King was born in the United States while his father studied medicine at Harvard University, and following his father's early death was raised in isolation from the Thai throne by His mother in Europe (in particular in Lausanne, Switzerland) where he also attended university, meet his future wife, HM Queen Sirikit, and ascended the throne at the age of 18 following his two year older brother's tragic death who had been king since age 13. The book provides a detailed summary of the King's and Queen's fascinating and turbulent long lives, their achievements for the benefit of the nation, their mastery of the political landscape involving numerous military coups and other scandals that are typical of a developing nation, Thailand being in the unique position of having escaped colonialization through the wise maneuvers of the kings.

The basic broth is made of stock and fresh ingredients such as lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, galangal (in lieu of ginger), lime juice, fish sauce and crushed chili peppers. Westerners enjoy Tom yum made with prawns (tom yum kung). Thais use a variety of meats including chicken (tom yum kai), fish (tom yum pa in Laotian and tom yum pla in Thai), or mixed seafood (tom yum talay or tom yum po taek) and mushrooms - usually straw mushrooms or oyster mushrooms. The soup is often topped with generous sprinkling of fresh chopped coriander leaves (cilantro). Tom yum paste is made by crushing all the herb ingredients and stir-frying in oil. Seasoning and other preservative ingredients are then added. The paste is bottled or packaged, and sold around the world. Tom yum flavored with the paste may have different characteristics from that made with fresh herb ingredients. How to order online at ThaiSunset Publications Amazon pbk. US | Amazon pbk.

Naturally, Pierre-August Renoir, a prolific artist who made several thousand paintings, is somewhat over-represented. The warm sensuality of Renoir's style made his paintings some of the most well-known and frequently-reproduced works in the history of art. The Swiss painter Arnold Böcklin's frolicking nymphs in this book are a delight to see live at a visit to the Basel Kunstmuseum. Rachmaninoff was inspired by Böcklin's paintings when writing his Prelude in B minor, Op. 32, No. 10, and Hans Huber's second symphony is entitled Böcklin Sinfonie after the artist and his paintings. Adolf Hitler was fond of Böcklin's work, at one time owning 11 of his paintings. The book includes the detailed biographies of the painters' remarkable personal lives.

This book contains over 500 paintings on 230 color plates, many of which are in private collections and not easily accessible. The book includes a detailed biography and a eulogy by contemporary artists: Emile Barnard and Paul Gauguin. Vincent van Gogh lived 120 years ago, and yet his artwork is still altering the way we view beauty, persona, individuality, and style in art.    Van Gogh did not begin painting until his late twenties, completing many of his best-known works during his last two years. He died at the age of 37. In just over a decade, van Gogh produced more than 2,100 artworks, consisting of 860 oil paintings and more than 1,300 watercolours, drawings, sketches and prints. His many paintings and drawings have been copied by thousands but duplicated by none. What people today consider the archetypical artistic persona is largely the result of his influence.

This book contains 106 full colour pictures of the artist's famous woodcuts and a detailed biography. Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858) was a Japanese painter and printmaker transmuting everyday landscapes into intimate, lyrical scenes that made him successful. Hiroshige dominated the popular art of Japan in the first half of the 19th century. His work was not as bold or innovative as that of the older masters, but he captured in a poetic and gentle way that people could understand the ordinary person's experience of the Japanese landscape as well as the varied moods of memorable places at different times. His total output was immense: some 5400 prints in all. ISBN 978-1468153149 86 pages, 106 full color pictures, 8½ x 11 in. How to order online at ThaiSunset Publications or Amazon pbk.

This book contains a detailed biography and 350 paintings on 334 full colour plates. Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec was and remains a remarkable paradox, writes Florence Coman, Curator of French Paintings at the National Gallery of Art in Washington. Scion of an ancient aristocratic family, he spent his adult life among the common people of Paris and Montmartre, even taking rooms in a brothel, and he made the city's seamy night life, cafes, cabarets, dance halls, and theaters the principal subject of his art. Montmartre became established by the 1890s as an enclave famous for its naughty nightly revelry; the community flourished with the tourist trade attracted by advertisements in the popular press and by eye-catching posters. Lautrec's painting Marcelle Lender Dancing the Bolero in Chilpéric chronicles the spirit, style, and spectacle of the 1890s, and underscores Lautrec's fascination with the ambiguous boundaries between art and artifice, and between 'high' and 'low' art. This work, along with his related paintings, drawings, and lithographs, embodies the artist's ultimately egalitarian vision of life and art. — ISBN 978-1468197099 — 348 pages 8½ x 11 inches, 337 full color plates.

Paul Gauguin was a leading French post-impressionist artist and an important figure in the symbolist movement. While he was poor and struggling during his career as an artist (he was a Paris stock broker before), today his famous paintings are fetching tens of millions of dollars at auctions in New York and London.     This book includes 310 paintings on 224 color plates (many from private collections not normally available to public view), a detailed biography, a eulogy by Charles Morice (1903), excerpts from Gauguin's fascinating book "Noa Noa," and is a rather large collection in one compendium covering the prolific artist's most dramatic and expressive 'impressionist' period from 1887 to his death in 1903. The places of creation were Martinique in the Caribbean; an artist-village in Brittany (Pont-Aven); and Tahiti and the Marquesas Islands in French Polynesia.

Lacking the densely forested splendor of northern Thai mountains or the easy lure of the southern palm-fringed beaches, there is little to be said of repetitive vistas of rice paddies and low hills. "Yet those better acquainted with the Northeast... its charm reveals itself shyly to the connoisseur of Thailand's varied scenery and not to those impressed only by the visual clichés of the tourist posters... The quite splendor of the Isan landscape, a landscape that can take on the serenity of the far horizons of a Sibelius symphony or a painting by Cezanne… rice fields and buffalos, its hills and forests. These immemorial views, changing seasonally, are never far from the heart of the Isan rural scene, encompassing a land that today is less modified by the hand of man than any other part of Thailand."

Insight Knowledge An introduction to 'Theravada Buddhism' practiced in Thailand; a teaching helping people through their lives who are free to believe what they wish, even disagree with the 'Blessed One'. Buddhism is tolerant of 'divergent views', wherefore ancient animistic spirit worship and the belief in, and fear of, ghosts, is ever present. 'Spirit houses' are even found on temple grounds. Buddhism is not a scientific revelation, but an elaborate system of classifications of insight knowledge in the abstract neatly placed into an ordering system: 'Knowledge is truth and can be classified according to right knowledge, or to wrong knowledge and applied in three forms: doctrine, revelation, or personal knowledge, that is, intelligence.'

The author maintains that the independence and integrity of Thailand is assured by three unifying factors: (1) The Thais' carefree disposition, (2) the tolerant Buddhist religion, and (3) the Thai throne. For seven centuries Thailand has successfully survived as an independent nation while her neighbours disintegrated or fell victim of imperial colonial powers, followed by dictators, cultural revolutions and exterminations. Thailand's unique and sacred institutions survive and flourish; without either one of them, Thais cannot foresee what their country would be like.

According to the author, the spread of Hindu and Buddhist thought was an intellectual conquest, not an exchange of ideas. The influence of Indian religion on Christianity is part of the wider question of its influence on the west generally. From 200 B.C. until 300 A.D. oriental religion played a considerable part in the countries round the Mediterranean. In the author's view, "When all allowance is made for similar causes and coincidences, it is hard to believe that a collection of such practices as clerical celibacy, confession, the veneration of relics, the use of the rosary and bells can have originated independently in both religions." 398 pages ISBN 978-1466333000.

Sigmund Freud's (1920) discoveries of the unconscious received a scornful reception by the medical; he was first laughed at and then avoided as a crank. Freud's theories are anything but theoretical, but a pragmatic view that "truth is what works. Five facts of first magnitude were made obvious to the world by his interpretation of dreams: First, a constant connection between some part of every dream and some detail of the dreamer's life during the previous waking state. Secondly, secret thoughts in every dream and the attempted or successful gratification of some wish, conscious or unconscious. Thirdly, dream visions are symbolical but transparent to the trained observer. Fourthly, sexual desires play an enormous part in our unconscious, a part which puritanical hypocrisy has always tried to minimize, and finally a direct connection between dreams and insanity.

Freud has been able to establish on a firm footing the remarkable thesis that psychoneurotic illnesses never occur with a perfectly normal sexual life. Other sorts of emotions contribute to the result, but some aberration of the sexual life is always present, as the cause of especially insistent emotions and repressions. The instincts with which each child is born furnish desires or cravings which must be dealt with in some fashion. They may be so far as is necessary and desirable into energies of other sorts - as happens readily with the play-instinct - or they may remain as the source of perversions and inversions, and of cravings of new sorts substituted for those of the more primitive kinds under the pressure of a conventional civilization. The symptoms of the functional psychoneuroses represent, after a fashion, some of these distorted attempts to find a substitute for the imperative cravings born of the sexual instincts, and their form often depends, in part at least, on the peculiarities of the sexual life in infancy and early childhood.

We have an unfortunate system under which our circulating medium, our money, is a by-product of private debt. The essence of the 100% plan is to make money independent of loans; that is, to divorce the process of creating and destroying money from the business of banking, ending the chronic inflations and deflations which have ever been the great economic curse sprung largely from banking.

A significant achievement of The Nature of Capital and Income is its clarity in insisting on the distinction between stocks and flows and on careful attention to the dimensionalities of the concepts used in economic discourse. One of Fisher's complaints about Adam Smith and his followers was their confusion on these points. According to Fisher, writers before Smith made more sense." (From the review by James Tobin, 1991.)

David Ricardo (1817) On the Principles of Political Economy, and Taxation David Ricardo's rigorous deductive method superseded the less formal style of Adam Smith. Ricardo's interest in relative values focused attention on the determination of individual prices and set the stage for work on the problem of equilibrium. His main achievements, consequently, lie primarily in the areas of value theory and distribution theory. Paperback 272 pages.

Sigmund Freud (1873) Totem and Taboo. Resemblances Between the Psychic Lives of Savages and Neurotics. Taboo still exists in our midst, is negatively conceived and directed to different contents, but according to its psychological nature, it is still nothing else than Kant's "Categorical Imperative" which tends to act compulsively and rejects all conscious motivations. Totemism on the other hand is a religio-social institution which is alien to our present feelings; it has long been abandoned and replaced by new forms. In the religions, morals, and customs of the civilized races of today it has left only slight traces, and even among those races where it is still retained, it has had to undergo great changes. The social and material progress of the history of mankind could obviously change taboo much less than totemism. ISBN 978-1456584894 Paperback 154 pages, illustrated.

Hermann Hesse (1922) Siddhartha — An Indian Tale Siddhartha is one of the most popular Western novels set in India around the time of Gautama Buddha. The novel is structured on three of the traditional stages of life for Hindu males - student (brahmacarin), householder (grihastha) and recluse/renunciate (vanaprastha) - as well as the Buddha's four noble truths (Part One) and eightfold path (Part Two) which form twelve chapters, the number in the novel. A major preoccupation of Hesse in writing Siddhartha was to cure his 'sickness with life' (Lebenskrankheit) by immersing himself in Indian philosophy such as that expanded in the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita. The reason the second half of the book took so long to write was that Hesse had not experienced that transcendental state of unity to which Siddhartha aspires. In an attempt to do so, Hesse lived as a virtual semi-recluse and became totally immersed in the sacred teachings of both Hindu and Buddhist scriptures.
