moses, A Freelance Writer And Advertising Executive With A Special Interest In Meditation And Stress Reduction Techniques, Draws On His Studies Of World Scriptures To Offer This Interfaith Compilation Of Assorted Verses Affirming Similar Principles, E.g., The Golden Rule. For Each Of The 28 Principles Included, Moses Begins With Brief Thoughts Of His Own (about Half A Page), Then Offers A Two-page Spread Of Five Or Six Relevant Scriptural Passages. This Is An Interesting Idea, But The Book Would Be More Useful If The Passages Were Identified Explicitly As To Source, Rather Than Just Being Designated ``islam,'' ``christianity,'' ``buddhism,'' Etc.
Many advertisements these days make us feel as if we have an intimate, even passionate relationship with a product. But as Jean Kilbourne points out in this fascinating and shocking expose, the dreamlike promise of advertising always leaves us hungry for more. We can never be satisfied, because the products we love cannot love us back. "When was the last time you felt this comfortable in a relationship?"; An ad for sneakers. "You can love it without getting your heart broken."; An ad for a car. "Until I find a real man, I'll settle for a real smoke."; A woman in a cigarette ad. Drawing upon her knowledge of psychology, media, and women's issues, Kilbourne offers nothing less than a new understanding of a ubiquitous phenomenon in our culture. The average American is exposed to over 3,000 advertisements a day and watches three years' worth of television ads over the course of a lifetime. Kilbourne paints a gripping portrait of how this barrage of advertising drastically affects young people, especially girls, by offering false promises of rebellion, connection, and control. She also offers a surprising analysis of the way advertising creates and then feeds an addictive mentality that often continues throughout adulthood.

This classic series of essays represents Alan Watts's thinking on the astonishing problems caused by our dysfunctional relationship with the material environment. Here, with characteristic wit, a philo-sopher best known for his writings and teachings about mysticism and Eastern philosophy gets down to the nitty-gritty problems of economics, technology, clothing, cooking, and housing. Watts argues that we confuse symbol with reality, our ways of describing and measuring the world with the world itself, and thus put ourselves into the absurd situation of preferring money to wealth and eating the menu instead of the dinner.With our attention locked on numbers and concepts, we are increasingly unconscious of nature and of our total dependence on air, water, plants, animals, insects, and bacteria. We have hallucinated the notion that the so-called external world is a cluster of objects separate from ourselves, that we encounter it, that we come into it instead of out of it. Originally published in 1972, Does It Matter? foretells the environmental problems that arise from this mistaken mind-set. Not all of Watts's predictions have come to pass, but his unique insights will change the way you look at the world.

The basic theme is that civilized man confuses symbol with reality, his ways of describing and measuring the world with the world itself, and thus puts himself into the absurd situation of preferring money to wealth and eating the menu instead of the dinner. Here, a philosopher whose works have been mainly concerned with mysticism and Oriental philosophy gets down to the "nitty-gritty" problems of economics, technology, clothing, cooking, and housing.
