Review: I've found fantastic recipies for veggie-licious foods, great remedies for almost any common health problem i've ever run into, yoga positions, aromatheropy solutions, how to read my palm, and even how to tie sailors knots. This book has it all, and just when you think you've read it all, you see something hilarious or amazing that you never would have expected. Zeek really has done it all, and has solutions to all your common (and not so common problems). Great artwork to boot.

Rating: Summary: The Art of Shen Ku Review: THE ART of SHEN KU explores hundreds of topics from a broad spectrum of possible life situations. It gives simple advice on how to cope with, overcome, and learn from anything life can and will throw at you. Shen Ku means "Pure Traveler" or "Phantom Passenger." THE ART of SHEN KU can be described as mastering the skill and knowledge of practically everything anyone comes across while on Earth. "An exact definition of the art is elusive, a state of mind, a spiritual elevation, a conditioning of the body or an evolving study of life, it is what you make it, BUT its four basic philosophies remain the same for all situations. They are simple but disturbing & GOVERN ALL CONSCIOUS PROGRESS IN LIFE." - Zeeks definition Shen Ku will give you the widest diversity of skills and knowledge from the widest spectrum of cultures and locations EVER. Zeek is the pen name of Steve Dolby, a native of England, who ventured around the world in a handmade sailboat. He has spent over four decades traveling to many corners of the globe gathering the expansive wisdom he included in this book. This book is as useful as The Oxford English Dictionary, as humorous as the Worst Case Survival Guide, as helpful as a Boy Scout Manual, and as thought provoking as the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. If you liked these books or any books like them, you'll love THE ART of SHEN KU.

Rating: Summary: Excellent read!!! Review: This book is absolutely amazing. I couldn't believe all the interesting things I learned with this book. Acupressure, survival situations, self-defense, and even diet ideas like juice fasting or nutritious recipes, were complimented by detailed drawings and humor. This book explains the best beauty treatments, the best ways to aid certain ailments and sicknesses, the best ways to prepare and store food. There is something for anyone who picks this book up. No matter where in the world you live. I would definitely recommend the book, whether it be just a handy guide around the house or a great gift idea.
Rating: Summary: Everthing, and I mean everything! Review: I didn't think that this book would be as good as it was hyped up to be, but when I got it I was sure proved wrong. The drawings are incredible! Each cartoon might have about 3-5 captions on them and there's 1,800 of them. This book has great information in it and has everything you can thin of in it. even for the reader who is not into holistic or spirtitual beliefs will find use out of this book because it also has practical information like diet and excercise. This book can't get boring because their isn't any way to really read everything there is in it. Even if someone did, they would have to read it again because you can't actually remember it all. This book is good a read for leisure or reference on your day to day travels. It is even has stuff for children and parenting. The best thing about this book is that each page is jam-packed with information and it is really gives the buyer 'bang for their buck'.
Rating: Summary: One of the Best Review: If you decide to read this book - wait until the weekend and be prepared to stay up all night because I promise that you will not be able to put it down!! This is a great "how to" sort of book that is geared for the traveler's of this planet. Literally speaking we are ALL traveler's of this planet - so be prepared to be amazed by how many interesting things in this book that you will not only be able to relate to, but also the amounts of things that you will want to use in your everyday life!!
