Book Description
As his stories unfold, Daniel Dancer reflects on spirituality, indigenous knowledge, quantum physics, psychology, and ecological principles. Humor, synchronicity, delight, and heartfelt struggle are all present in these tales. The result is a breath of wholeness, a gift for our apocalyptic times and for a culture that has forgotten its connection to nature.
The sacred, magical role that art has held in everyday life since the dawn of humanity is often lost in modern society. Dancer's timely work is a quest to revive this form of art, weaving the shards of our failing culture and fragmented ecosystems into a celebration of possibility. Entertaining, full of surprise at every turn, and beautifully illustrated, Shards & Circles helps map the way home to our authentic selves.

wisdom and inspiration from wild nature.......2007-08-26
A view of the world in alignment. For those who have always felt at odds with this culture, and this place in time, who see the world through different eyes.
Daniel Dancer has so beautifully articulated so many of my own thoughts and perceptions. If you are a lover of beauty and life, and you feel connected deep down to the rhythms and patterns of the natural world, you will feel the same way. As I read, I kept having this feeling that we were of one mind. Page after page, Dancers words triggered sacred memories of deep impressions that live inside me, from my own experiences. It's comforting to know that there is someone else who sees and feels the world the way I do. Dancer is possessed of a rare strength of spirit, and a huge loving heart. In this book, he shares his soul, and the depths of his insight with the world.
The work he is doing, is an elegant merging of awakening consciousness, creating real community, and Art-making, all in the context of a humble reverence for nature.
Simply put . . . well, it's brilliant
in deep respect, dancingwater (artist/ educator)
Desperate Prayers of beauty.......2007-04-20
This book changed my life.
I read it nearly 3 years ago and still it is impacting me. Page by glorious page, insights flooded me and tears welled in my eyes over and over. I was astounded at what I was reading...the earthy brilliance and heartful awareness that was given as beauty to the unsuspecting and open mouths of the spiritually hungry. Most certainly this author must be gifted, to have his feet rooted so sweetly in this wild earth while still capable to having the vast perspective of a soaring bird. This is rare.
Something spilled from this book into me, telling a story beneath the stories, which, in themselves were mind-opening and beauty provoking. What I heard underneath it all was a story of a man curious enough in mystery and keen in his vision to dive into a world seldom seen...a world that is calling desperately for our attention now...an invisible, Holy world that feeds on beauty, ceremony and tears. To allow this powerful understanding in, opens hearts and breaks into long held patterning. It can change the world. I am forever grateful that this book is here to feed us through perilous times with it's luscious and cohesive expanse.
Immersion in Ecopsychology.......2006-02-09
Anyone who has been moved by David Abram's "Spell of the Sensuous," is sure to feel the same about this gem by environmental artist Daniel Dancer. Here ecopsychology is demonstrated - vividly, authentically - rather than simply being talked about. Dancer's stories of immersing himself in landscapes, and then assembling found objects into art forms as gifts, as expressions, as spontaneous shamanic undertakings invites readers to reflect not only on their own ways of communing with the vibrancy and brokenness of the natural world but also of how we all can deepen the ways in which we open our hearts to the healing powers of nature.
It has been several months since I read "Shards and Circles", and yet without even opening the book, powerful images come to mind - vignettes of stories I shall never forget. I remember how, in contrast to Dancer's usual style of composing his art in the same episode in which his encounter with objects begins, one story reveals that it took him several years of returning to a particular place before he was moved to express a resolution to the mystery initially posed to him by a half-burned shard of paper. The psychological cleansing that came for him by waiting was powerful and suggests to me possibilities for my own recurring visits to special spots.
I was brought to tears by a chapter in which the power of place and simple acts of releasing feathers with his young children in a ritualistic manner gave Dancer a chance to transform the pain of divorce and home-leaving into an intimate moment of wonder and bonding that his children, surely, will never forget.
Finally, I applaud the author for presenting his stories so truthfully that even his mis-steps became learning experiences for this reader. Sparely, beautifully written, Daniel Dancer's words are windows of possibility for wounded souls in a wounded world.
Damaged Wilderness Transformed to Sacred Art.......2006-01-26
Daniel Dancer gives a revolutionary new meaning to both art and ecology, and he does so by melding the two in a way that is inviting, thought-provoking, consciousness-raising, and inspiring. A photographer who has documented many endangered lands, he seeks out the wounded places on the earth. In clearcut forests, beaches clogged with litter, a stretch of the Columbia River that faces the Hanford Nuclear Plant, and other places, he gathers waste left by human presence and recreates it, then and there, as art. His book, written with humor and playfulness, a naturalist's attention to detail and a philosopher's sense of the broader picture, tells the stories of these places and the works that arose from them.
Like the artist Andy Goldsworthy, Daniel Dancer's work uses the elements of a place and arranges them in the context of that place. Both make three-dimensional art that is meant to be ephemeral. Ultimately, however, Goldsworthy's pieces are exquisite creations that are only about themselves. Dancer's work, on the other hand, springs not only from a particular place but also from the ways that humans have interacted with that place. These fascinating works involve the artist himself and us, the witnesses/readers not only in the sorrowful reality of What Is, but in the attitude that transformation is possible. They invite us to bring attentive presence to beautiful, damaged places and to find what is sacred and meaningful everywhere.
Book Description
The end of World War II saw a dramatic change in the geography of men's fashion--staid, conservative British gave way to Italy's light, supple, colorful and daring styles. In 1952, when the rite of the runway was still exclusively for women, Brioni presented the first men's fashion show. Since then, Brioni has dressed many of the world's most recognizable men, from Gable to Wayne, Pacino to Baldwin, and Bond.

Book Description
Neuronal Nicotinic Receptors: Pharmacology and Therapeutic Opportunities
Edited by Stephen P. Arneric and Jorge D. Brioni
Nicotine's efficacy in the treatment of pain and anxiolysis, and its usefulness as a memory enhancer, have been suspected for many years, but research into the molecular biology of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) traditionally has focused on smoking cessation. Now, thanks to recent technological advances in the molecular biology and electrophysiology of nAChRs, an abundance of evidence has emerged in support of nAChR ligands in the treatment of a range of CNS disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, neuropathic pain, attention deficit disorder, and depression.
Featuring contributions from an international team of experts in the field, this volume provides researchers and clinicians with a comprehensive review of nAChRs, their molecular biology, pharmacology, and clinical implications. Moving from the molecular to the clinical levels, the authors explore the latest developments in all areas of nAChR research, including:
- Molecular biology and biochemistry of nAChRs
- The physiological roles of nAChRs
- Pharmacokinetics of nicotine-like alkaloids
- Recent breakthroughs and emerging trends in nAChR medicinal chemistry
- Current and emerging therapeutic applications of novel nAChR ligands.
A timely, authoritative review of basic research into nAChRs and their role in the development of new therapeutic strategies in the treatment of a range of various CNS diseases, Neuronal Nicotinic Receptors: Pharmacology and Therapeutic Opportunities is required reading for neuroscientists, pharmacologists, medicinal chemists, biological psychiatrists, and psychopharmacologists.

Book Description
Prominent Alzheimer's investigators provide a comprehensive and balanced overview of the neuropharmacological basis for therapeutics in this devastating disease. Divided into three parts, the book begins with basic research on the neurobiology of cognitive function, offering relevant information on the way the brain encodes and stores data. The second segment explores the molecular aspects of Alzheimer's Disease (AD), emphasizing investigations of possible etiological factors. In the final section, a variety of issues important in developing treatments are discussed including cholinergic-based treatments, the role of neuroinflammin in AD and the therapeutic potential of anti-inflammatory agents.

Customer Reviews:
Just the kind of quirkiness I like.......2001-05-12
This is a collection of quirky stories about quirky people that the author happened upon in his work as a journalist. All the stories are loosely tied to the theme of "the road to success." You hear about the people who are planning to get rich by farming earthworms, poetry slams, the last professional human cannonball, selling condoms as key chains, and much, much, more.
Although most of the stories are quite funny, I really felt empathy for some of the people in them. All were just trying to get ahead, using ideas that most of us would consider to be doomed from the beginning. A couple made me feel down-right sad, especially the one about people trying to hit the big time with a cure for cancer. Instead of being amused by the investors' arrogance of thinking they had a miracle cure for cancer, I was deeply saddened to read about their desperate, terminally ill patients.
As a whole, however, the stories are quite amusing and entertaining. Reading the table of contents will give you just a small hint of what is to be found in this book.

Book Description
Dreams are tantalizing, illusive, frustrating, and vitally important. People have tried to catch them, and their meanings, since the earliest times. Dr. Patricia Garfield, one of North America’s foremost authorities on dreams, knows the importance of dreams to our waking lives. Dream Catcher is not only fascinating reading about sleep, and practices to ensure good sleep drawn from lore around the world, but it is an enticing invitation to begin the habit of recording dreams within its very covers.
One of the most important ways to explore dream territory is to keep a dream journal. Dr. Garfield has kept her own dream journal for over fifty years!
