Robert (Bobby) James Fischer was one of the world's most mysterious and exciting personalities of the middle 20th century. He single handedly ended a 35 year span of Russian domination of elite chess when he defeated Boris Spassky for the World Chess Championship in 1972 in Reykjavik, Iceland. Fischer's dynamic victory ignited in Americans a passion for the game of chess and a deep pride in being American during the height of the Cold War. The world knows the story of Fischer's ascent to the pinnacle of chess genius and brilliance, and it knows of his psychological decline into social isolation, paranoia, and likely mental illness. Now, for the first time, through 'A Psychobiography of Bobby Fischer: Understanding the Genius, Mystery, and Psychological Decline of a World Chess Champion,' we come to understand the inner workings of Fischer's mind the genetic, personal, family, cultural, and political factors that collectively provide a penetrating window into the 'why' of Bobby Fischer's genius and bizarre behavior. Renowned counseling psychologist and author Dr. Joseph G. Ponterotto deconstructs almost every aspect of Fischer's personal and career life to sculpt an integrative psychological profile of this enigmatic world personality. Though there have been many articles, books, and films on Bobby Fischer, this text represents the first scholarly psychological assessment of the world's most famous chess champion. Among the topics addressed in the current volume are Bobby's early family environment and his natural intellectual gifts that predisposed him to genius in chess. Critical to understanding Bobby's personality development is his relationship with his mother Regina Fischer and his sister Joan Fischer, as well as his relationship to his likely biological father, Paul Felix Nemenyi. These topics are explored in-depth and the impact of these relationships on Bobby's psychological development is highlighted. Bobby's later-life internal mental state -- his mistrust, anger, and hatred of Jews is explored and the origins of this affective state are closely examined. Dr. Ponterotto also provides the first, carefully and cautiously sculpted psychological autopsy of Bobby Fischer relying on modern psychological assessment procedures. Of interest to readers will be a full chapter comparing the genius and mental health challenges of the United States' two greatest chess champions who lived a century apart, Paul Morphy and Bobby Fischer. This book also explores the topic of the prevalence of mental illness among elite chess players, and provides a critical review of the research on the potential relationship between creativity (a hallmark of chess genius) and vulnerability to mental illness. Finally, Dr. Ponterotto outlines counseling and psychotherapy interventions that very likely could have helped Bobby throughout his life. Though there are numerous biographies on the life of Bobby Fischer, this text represents the first scholarly, systematically derived psychobiography of this great chess champion and enigmatic world personality. The book includes 10 content chapters and select Tables, Figures, and Family Genograms, as well as Appendices providing extensive detail on the life of Bobby Fischer and family. Finally, the book includes some original family photos never before published.

Review
Brilliant, agonized; original, immature; astute, emotionally volatile; virtuosic, enigmatic so goes the narrative of the life and adventures of Bobby Fischer, a man who captivated the world with both his genius and with his tormented soul. In Genius and Mystery of Bobby Fischer, Joseph Ponterotto elegantly unpacks the many contradictions that at once propelled Fischer onto the world stage and, at the same time, led to his eventual liminalization. Ponterotto traces Fischer s socio-emotional development from early life skillfully integrating the many influences that helped shape the person he became as an adult. His treatment of the tumultuous dynamics of Fischer s relationship with his mother and the psychological implications of the mystery of his paternity not only makes for fascinating reading but poignantly sheds light on what Fischer s hidden suffering was all about. While Ponterotto explores Fischer's life with the eye of a scientist, he writes with the pen of one who appreciates the complexity of human experience and who faithfully and compassionately strives to follow the truth wherever it may lead. I recommend this eminently readable work not only to Bobby Fischer fans but to all those fascinated by the paradoxes and pain that often lie behind genius. --Amelio A. D Onofrio, PhD Founding Director and Clinical Professor Psychological Services Institute Fordham University

The link between genius and mental illness is often observed but rarely resolved. Chess genius Bobby Fischer s oddities give way to accomplished academician and chess lover Joseph Ponterotto s systematic application of contemporary psychology. Dr. Ponterotto shows us greater meaning in the tragic life of one of the superstars of modern chess. Had proper help been available to a young Bobby Fischer, what elegance of chess mastery might the world have experienced? What discoveries do we lose today when families and children don t get the best support and fall into the abyss of mental illness? Dr. Ponterotto has uncovered the moves and mistakes in one troubled genius to show us how we can help people play the game of life so that there are more winners, and amazingly, fewer losers. --Paul Greene, Ph.D. Professor of Psychology, Iona College, New Rochelle, N.Y. Private Practice, New York City and New Rochelle, NY

The era of the amateur psychologizing about Bobby Fischer is coming to a close. Now we heed a professional. Dr. Joseph Ponterotto has applied the scientific principles of his discipline to a personality that so long perplexed the world. The controversies will not end, but any further hypotheses will need to take Ponterotto s work as a starting point. --Anthony Saidy, MD., Intl. Chess Master

From the Author
Author's correction:� On page 95 of this book I incorrectly attributed the suggestion that Bobby Fischer may have suffered from Asberger's Disorder to BBC journalist John Eidinow, co-author (with David Edmonds) of the highly respected book "Bobby Fischer Goes to War."� The Asperger's attribution was actually made by David Edmonds, as reported in the Quinn & Hamilton, 2008 article cited.� My sincerest apologies to Mr. Eidinow.

A tremerndous Piece of Work Revealing What Really Troubled Bobby Fischer
By Danny Kopec
I have been a lifelong fan of Bobby Fischer's chess play. I studied most of his games when I was around 20 and I can certainly
say that they helped me improve towards the International Master level. But I have been particularly confused by how someone
so brilliant in chess could be so seemingly deranged as a person.

Do great chessplayers have to be crazy? Eccentric, yes, dedicated, obsessive, yes, but crazy? What drove Fischer to his craziness? You will gain an insight to the answers to many of these questions from Dr. Ponterrotto's book. Even the back cover tells a story..
Looking at young Bobby there he appears quite likeable and normal with baby niece. . But then you ask, how could someone whose parents were all Jewish (Regina, Gerhard, Paul Nemenyi) -- And almost definitely his parents were Paul and Regina, turn so distinctly against Jews? How could he deny his origins?

How could he so turn against his country after 9/11? Again and again I've asked these questions and I must say that this book
has enabled me to resolve them to my satisfaction.

The book is written in a sufficiently technical style, but fully accessible to any interested reader.

Once you get into it -- you will find it hard to put down.

Fascinating look into the intersection between mental health and chess genius
By NF
Joseph Ponterotto's A Psychobiography of Bobby Fischer is a fascinating look into the life of Bobby Fischer, his environment, and his family. Dr. Ponterotto writes in a clear, elegant style which is easy to follow and understand. Before this, I had little knowledge of who Bobby Fischer was or what made him famous (I am a casual chess player, at best). After reading this book, I am eager to learn more about Bobby Fischer and his chess brilliance.

The book has many strengths. It is extraordinarily considerate of Bobby Fischer's surviving family and his own legacy, considering many possible angles before drawing any definitive conclusions. The comparisons to Paul Morphy are intriguing and handled with a deft consideration of Mr. Morphy's legacy, too. I found the discussions on psychobiography and psychodiagnosis easy to follow and, although I am a graduate student in psychology, I imagine that even lay readers would as well.

For me, there are no glaring problems in the book. The only part I questioned was the review of genetic neurological evidence linking creativity and mental illness. This is no fault of Dr. Ponterotto's, whose review of literature is excellent and comprehensive. I merely question anytime one gene (neuregulin 1) is implicated in such a complex and nuanced subject as mental illness. However, the evidence cited is compelling and I look forward to reading more studies about it in the future.

In all, a must read for chess aficionados and mental health experts alike.

A Psychobiography of Bobby Fischer Book Review
By Robert Hungaski
Every chess player that has tried to make a go of it as a professional must have, at one point or another, turned to Bobby Fischer as a source of strength and inspiration. Aside from being the best player of all times (sorry Kasparov fans) he was the central force behind the establishment of chess as a viable profession in the West. Prior to Fischer, chess (at least in the U.S.) was simply seen as an amusement or hobby. As is illustrated in Dr. Ponterotto's book, this contrast can be greatly appreciated when we juxtapose the careers of Paul Morphy (1837-1884) and Bobby Fischer (1943-2008).

Therefore, it should be no surprise that chess professionals hold a special place in their hearts for this icon. It has also led us to turn a blind eye to some of the more troubling aspects of Fischer's personality, which are often neglected from the ever-expanding literature that only focus on his competitive achievements. It is to Ponterotto's credit to try and tackle the mysterious beast that has been lurking in the shadows ever since Bobby Fischer retired from competitive play in 1975. The issue I'm referring to is, of course, whether Bobby Fischer suffered from a mental illness. Did he? And if he did, what was it?

It is often hard to reconcile the Bobby Fischer of the early 70's with the one from the 90's and 00's, and Ponterotto's attempt to bridge the gap gives the reader a new and interesting perspective on what the catalyst(s) might have been for the striking dissimilarities, often dating back to his early childhood. As an academic and an outsider to the world of professional chess, Ponterotto does not suffer the bias and cult-like adoration that most chess players feel towards their idol. It is through this perspective that we are presented with a very human rendering of someone that is often depicted with larger-than-life characteristics. Nonetheless, the author is very considerate of both Fischer and his relatives and does not make any presumptions other than the ones suggested by his research. Overall, I found the book to be a very enjoyable read, which I recommend to anyone interested in the subject.

Shamus hasn't had much luck with humans for reasons he can't understand. At ten-months old, he's adopted into his third home by a young family and their canine companion, Lela.

Playful, destructive and more than a little insecure, Shamus desperately seeks to find his place among them. But entering a new family is not easy, and Shamus quickly discovers that he has a lot to learn. He can't help feeling jealous of Lela, the family's favored dog, as he struggles to gain a paw-hold.

Wise and understanding, Lela patiently mentors Shamus on duty, loyalty and love. Jealousy turns to admiration amid Lela's failing health, and Shamus embraces new responsibilities during a tumultuous period when his family finds their lives in upheaval too. He bravely stands beside them as they trudge through the inherent challenges of daily life - the loss of innocence, a job, a friend, one's self. Through financial woes and marital problems, he comes to understand that while it takes a lot to make a family, it takes even more to sustain one.

Beautifully written and warmly told from a dog's point of view, Becoming Shamus is a heartbreaking but humorous tale of friendship and family, loss and rediscovery. This insightful and ultimately uplifting story reminds us that we are all connected, and that we carry those we love forever in our hearts.

Becoming Shamus Winner 2013 National Indie Excellence, Winner 2013 International Book Awards, Winner 2013 Beverly Hills Book Awards, Finalist 2013 Next Gen Indie Book Awards - All Animals/Pets category and Honorable Mention in the General Fiction category at the 2012-2013 Los Angeles Book Festival.�
"Elizabeth Curtisse's Becoming Shamus invites readers to experience life and how difficult it is to adjust to a new family from an interesting perspective, namely, that of the family pet.
The new household comes with kids and another dog, "Lela of New York," with whom Shamus finds that he must compete for attention and affection. While initially, Lela is hostile toward Shamus, as most pets would be under the circumstances, eventually she befriends Shamus and helps him adjust to life in his new home.

"Good animal stories bring out the best in readers as they bring on tears of sorrow and joy. Becoming Shamus is one of them. It is a story that belongs on reading lists everywhere. If Marley and Me is a favorite, then Becoming Shamus belongs right next to it." -- Alice DiNizo's , Readers' Favorite

If nothing else, Becoming Shamus will inspire readers to consider life and family relationships from a new angle, one in which adopted pets (and, metaphorically, adopted children or children in blended families) might be smarter, more sensitive, and more perceptive than we give them credit for." --R. Carnavale - 'BoutBooks.com , PKP Publications

Richly textured, funny and insightful
By Mary
Becoming Shamus is a skillful look at growing up - from a dog's perspective. But the growing pains belong not only to the lovable pet, but also to the family who cherishes him- and each other. It is an extraordinary look into ordinary lives and the grace and compassion that reside there. As Shamus reflects on his past, he draws us in to the events that shape his adoptive family. Love and companionship ease the loneliness of life's trials. Shamus is at the giving and receiving end of both. Puppy exuberance and childhood innocence develop into measured optimism as Shamus and his family face life's challenges head-on. Sometimes confused, sometimes angry, but always determined to make it work. The honest and powerful narrative sheds light on what it is to love, to laugh, to grow, to endure. A rich and inspiring first work.

Makes you think like a dog.
By R. Hollister
Everyone who either owns a dog or had one growing up, has at some point during this time period, thought "I wonder what is going through that dog's mind". Well, now you have a "manual" that can answer that question for you. This book is a very creative and unique way of answering that question plus it makes you start to think like a dog and not the person.
Many times during reading this I kept forgetting that it was from the dog's perspective.

The story was moving and very real to what any struggling family is going through on a regular basis. The difference is your viewpoint is from the dog.

A very easy and entertaining read that will make you laugh. It certainly makes me look at my current dog and wonder, "is he thinking what I think he's thinking?".

Well done!

Highly recommend the novel "Becoming Shamus"
By Melissa
This story was a real page turner that I just couldn't put down! I highly recommend this novel. From the beginning and throughout the novel, it draws you into this family's journey and life experiences all from their dog's perspective. The characters are well developed and the story line is very engaging. I connected with the characters so much I cried when they did and laughed out loud with they did. The book makes you think about life from a dog's point of view too - very fascinating and a pleasurable read. You can really tell that this family cherishes their pets as family members. I look forward to this author's next book!

Note on the Student Value Edition...
By christine
This book was required text for a class. Pretty good overall, content is easy to understand and uses many examples. However, a few things to keep in mind:

- The student value edition is not binded. It arrives as a stack of paper with 3-holes punched. You will need a binder if you purchase this edition.

- Lots of practice questions but no answers! This pretty much makes the practice questions useless. The instructor said we have to contact the publisher for the answers. Given that there are 20 practice questions per chapter, most of us did not bother.

- This edition does not include the Accounting Lab CD. The instructor said the CD contains more practice questions and supplemental content which may be useful for studying, but is not necessary component of the book.

Do NOT buy this book here!!
By B.R.
I purchased this book on August 21, 2013. Financial Accounting, Student Value Edition (9th Edition) Loose Leaf. The book description was as follows:

Package includes:
0132349396 / 9780132349390 MyEducationKit -- Valuepack Access Card
0133049345 / 9780133049343 NEW MyAccountingLab with Pearson eText -- Access Card -- for Financial Accounting

I ordered this item through amazon prime, free 2-day shipping. The first problem I had was the shipping delay. Though it arrived the day after it shipped, it did not ship until September 4, 2 weeks after the class I needed it for had begun. This was my own problem, however, as the order confirmation included the delay, but I did not notice until a few days after I placed the order.

The real problem with this order was the misleading book description. It DID NOT include the myAccountingLab access card, which I need for my class. After speaking with amazon customer service, I found that even though the page I ordered it from said it was included, this was a description for the wrong product. In the box where you can select between the kindle, hardcover, and looseleaf versions of the text, you must click the minuscule plus sign next to looseleaf to see a more expensive version that includes the access code. There is no indication that this step is necessary to receive the code, and I would not have known had I not spoken with amazon customer service.

In short, you should look elsewhere to find this text. The shipping delay and missing access code were very irritating, but that aside, the loose leaf edition is just an unbound stack of 3-hole punched papers. Look for a new copy at your university bookstore, and save yourself a massive headache.

Always Been a Fan of the Horngren Series
By A dad
What I like about the Horngren Series is the practicality of it. This series has always managed to hold the number of pages down to about 200 less than its quite excellent major competitors (Weygandt-Kieso-Kimmel and Wild-Larson-Chiappetta). It's still a large-dimension hardcover and this Horngren book has 752 pages. That's plenty of space for a student, and Horngren provides more than enough easy-access online materials as well.

Horngren is mainly used by university students although Weygandt-Kieso-Kimmel have gained market share. But Horngren also recognizes that most financial accountants do not need an accounting degree. They need to understand accounting and know how to do their specific jobs. In fact, I've long noticed the small ratio of accountants working in accounting departments that actually have accounting degrees. For them, the Horngren Series is well-designed in addition to serving the needs of college students.

Horngren places emphasis on the accounting cycle. In doing so, this textbook covers the actual job duties within an accounting department quite efficiently. That's why I also purchase Horngren Series books. I purchase them for staff as well as additional resource material to help me prepare when I teach accounting courses at the university level. Because if its special niche and top-notch editing, I would expect this series to last through many more editions.

Just make sure to get the latest edition.

Falling Man is a magnificent, essential novel about the event that defines turn-of-the-century America. It begins in the smoke and ash of the burning towers and tracks the aftermath of this global tremor in the intimate lives of a few people.

First there is Keith, walking out of the rubble into a life that he’d always imagined belonged to everyone but him. Then Lianne, his estranged wife, memory-haunted, trying to reconcile two versions of the same shadowy man. And their small son Justin, standing at the window, scanning the sky for more planes.

These are lives choreographed by loss, grief, and the enormous force of history.

Brave and brilliant, Falling Man traces the way the events of September 11 have reconfigured our emotional landscape, our memory and our perception of the world. It is cathartic, beautiful, heartbreaking.

Amazon.com Review
The defining moment of turn-of-the-21st-century America is perfectly portrayed in National Book Award winner Don DeLillo's Falling Man. The book takes its title from the electrifying photograph of the man who jumped or fell from the North Tower on 9/11. It also refers to a performance artist who recreates the picture. The artist straps himself into a harness and in high visibility areas jumps from an elevated structure, such as a railway overpass or a balcony, startling passersby as he hangs in the horrifying pose of the falling man.

Keith Neudecker, a lawyer and survivor of the attack, arrives on his estranged wife Lianne's doorstep, covered with soot and blood, carrying someone else's briefcase. In the days and weeks that follow, moments of connection alternate with complete withdrawl from his wife and young son, Justin. He begins a desultory affair with the owner of the briefcase based only on their shared experience of surviving: "the timeless drift of the long spiral down." Justin uses his binoculars to scan the skies with his friends, looking for "Bill Lawton" (a misunderstood version of bin Laden) and more killing planes. Lianne suddenly sees Islam everywhere: in a postcard from a friend, in a neighbor's music--and is frightened and angered by its ubiquity. She is riveted by the Falling Man. Her mother Nina's response is to break up with her long-time German lover over his ancient politics. In short, the old ways and days are gone forever; a new reality has taken over everyone's consciousness. This new way is being tried on, and it doesn't fit. Keith and Lianne weave into reconciliation. Keith becomes a professional poker player and, when questioned by Lianne about the future of this enterprise, he thinks: "There was one final thing, too self-evident to need saying. She wanted to be safe in the world and he did not."

DeLillo also tells the story of Hammad, one of the young men in flight training on the Gulf Coast, who says: "We are willing to die, they are not. This is our srength, to love death, to feel the claim of armed martyrdom." He also asks: "But does a man have to kill himself in order to accomplish something in the world?" His answer is that he is one of the hijackers on the plane that strikes the North Tower.

At the end of the book, De Lillo takes the reader into the Tower as the plane strikes the building. Through all the terror, fire and smoke, De Lillo's voice is steady as a metronome, recounting exactly what happens to Keith as he sees friends and co-workers maimed and dead, navigates the stairs and, ultimately, is saved. Though several post-9/11 novels have been written, not one of them is as compellingly true, faultlessly conceived, and beautifully written as Don De Lillo's Falling Man. --Valerie Ryan

From Publishers Weekly
Starred Review. When DeLillo's novel Players was published in 1977, one of the main characters, Pammy, worked in the newly built World Trade Center. She felt that "the towers didn't seem permanent. They remained concepts, no less transient for all their bulk than some routine distortion of light." DeLillo's new novel begins 24 years later, with Keith Neudecker standing in a New York City street covered with dust, glass shards and blood, holding somebody else's briefcase, while that intimation of the building's mortality is realized in a sickening roar behind him. On that day, Keith, one half of a classic DeLillo well-educated married couple, returns to Lianne, from whom he'd separated, and to their young son, Justin. Keith and Lianne know it is Keith's Lazarus moment, although DeLillo reserves the bravura sequence that describes Keith's escape from the first tower—as well as the last moments of one of the hijackers, Hammad—until the end of the novel. Reconciliation for Keith and Lianne occurs in a sort of stunned unconsciousness; the two hardly engage in the teasing, ludic interchanges common to couples in other DeLillo novels. Lianne goes through a paranoid period of rage against everything Mideastern; Keith is drawn to another survivor. Lianne's mother, Nina, roils her 20-year affair with Martin, a German leftist; Keith unhooks from his law practice to become a professional poker player. Justin participates in a child's game involving binoculars, plane spotting and waiting for a man named "Bill Lawton." DeLillo's last novel, Cosmopolis, was a disappointment, all attitude (DeLillo is always a brilliant stager of attitude) and no heart. This novel is a return to DeLillo's best work. No other writer could encompass 9/11 quite like DeLillo does here, down to the interludes following Hammad as he listens to a man who "was very genius"—Mohammed Atta. The writing has the intricacy and purpose of a wiring diagram. The mores of the after-the-event are represented with no cuteness—save, perhaps, the falling man performance artist. It is as if Players, The Names, Libra, White Noise, Underworld—with their toxic events, secret histories, moral panics—converge, in that day's narrative of systematic vulnerability, scatter and tentative regrouping.

From Bookmarks Magazine
New York native Don DeLillo confronts his city's most horrendous tragedy. Those expecting the interwoven subterfuge and bravado sentence making of Underworld or White Noise might be disappointed. This is a stark, intensely personal story that provokes some equally impassioned—and sharply divided—responses. From the reviews, it is clear that the novel is either the best 9/11 book yet written, or a complete failure. Those championing the latter view claim that other firsthand accounts of the tragedy far overmatch the novel. But the book's supporters find that DeLillo's restrained prose and close focus are the perfect lenses through which to view the tragedy. Six years later, it's still hard to discern whether critics' responses have more to do with the event than the book at hand.

DeLillo in Context
By Ryan Silberstein
I enjoyed this book very much, having enjoyed some of Don DeLillo's other novels. A couple things to know about this book:

1. This is not mainstream fiction. DeLillo uses his own conventions and the conventions of postmodern fiction to great extent.

2. This novel is not primarily a retelling of the events of 9/11. Rather, it is an exploration of the mindset of New Yorkers (and one European) after 9/11, how this particular watershed event changed people's worldview.

3. This is not a political work. It does not seek to espouse any political point of view.

That being said, I very much liked this book. I found it very chilling at some points, and difficult to read. I found myself dealing with emotions I had not felt since the days just after 9/11 (deftly referred to in the novel as 'since the planes'), and an exploration much different from the film United 93.

I did feel some of the characters were hollow, but that is kind of typical of DeLillo's storytelling style. Characters in DeLillo works tend to be people to whom things happen, reactors as opposed to actors. I felt that this helped enhance the feelings of some of the characters in this work, accentuating the helplessness and fear I know I certainly felt in the wake of 9/11.

While the book does deal directly with the events of 9/11 (those were some of the most emotionally difficult to read), it is primarily an exploration of the 'post-9/11' world. In this, I feel it succeeds, and is a brilliant work.

Believe it or not, our DNA is almost exactly the same as that of our ancestors. While scientific advances in agriculture, medicine, and technology have protected man, to some degree, from dangers such as starvation, illness, and exposure, the fact remains that our cave-dwelling cousins were considerably healthier than we are. Our paleolithic ancestors did not suffer from heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, or obesity. In fact, a good deal of what we view as normal aging is a modern condition that is more akin to disease than any natural state of growing older.

Our predecessors were incomparably better nourished than we are, and were incredibly physically fit. And certainly none of them ever craved a doughnut, let alone tasted one. In fact, the human preference for sweet tastes and fatty textures was developed in an environment where such treats were rare, and signaled dense, useful energy. This once-helpful adaptation is the downfall of many a dieter today. It's what makes it hard to resist fats and sweets, especially when they are all around us.
We are not living as we were built to live. Our genes were forged in an environment where activity was mandatory―you were active or you starved or were eaten. This created strong selective pressure for genes encoding a smart, physically adept individual capable of very high activity levels. Humans are among the most active of species, and we carry energetically expensive brains to boot. Our energy expenditures rank high among all animals. At least they once did.

The New Evolution Diet by Arthur De Vany, PhD is a roadmap back to the better health our ancestors once enjoyed. By eliminating modern foods, including carbohydrates, dairy, and all processed foods from our diets, we can undo much of the damage caused by our modern food environment. The plan is based on three simple principles:
1. Enjoy the pleasure of food and do not count or restrict calories. Eat three satisfying meals a day filled with non-starchy vegetables, fruits, and high-quality, lean proteins
2. Do not starve yourself, but do go hungry episodically, for brief periods, to promote a low fasting blood insulin level and increase metabolic fat-burning.
3. Exercise less, not more, but with more playfulness and intensity. The goal is to create a strong body with a high resting metabolism and a large physiologic capacity to move through life easily―not to burn calories.

Review
“There's a disconnect between how we were designed to live and the way we are now living. De Vany's plan is all about closing that gap. The New Evolution Diet lays out an approach to food and exercise that feels intuitive.” ―The Daily Beast

From the Author
I loved writing this book. It is the culmination of more than 25 years of working through these issues. It could have been 500 pages. But, I felt I knew enough to make it simple.

Tired of Failed Diets - De Vany is the REAL THING - Five Stars !!!!
By Richard of Connecticut
Several people have expressed disappointment with "The New Evolution Diet", and I find exception with them. Perhaps they are expecting too much since many are subscribers to the author's website. Here is what you need to know in very simple language in just a few paragraphs. There are thousands of books out there on fitness, dieting, longevity, etc. They basically all fail in their objective because none of them start out with who we really are from an evolutionary standpoint. We also know that if any of these diet books worked, we would all flock to it. It would be scientifically confirmed, and all of us would be back down to a normal size, but no such book exists. The key to the puzzle is to use an evolutionary approach.

Our ancestors go back several million years. You can go to the Museum of Natural History in New York and see Lucy's bones, one of our ancestors that go back five million years. Turkana Boy goes back 3 million years. His bones are also in the museum. Scientists believe that our biology has not changed in at least 200,000 years. This means that if we could take a new born child from the time of his birth 200,000 years ago, he should be able to grow up in our society perfectly adjusted both physically and mentally. The only real argument against this concept is Carl Jung's concept of the collective unconscious.

So here is the key point. Our bodies and souls were formed over a period of time lasting hundreds of thousands of years. Life did not change much during this period, however in the last several hundred years' life has changed drastically. We have to go back tens of thousands of years to the so called cave man to understand how our bodies are hardwired to live a certain way. What was life like 400,000 years ago when our biology was formed. The one thing we absolutely do not know is how long it will take for our species to genetically adapt to its new modern environment - the 20th and 21st century if you will. The answer has to be tens of thousands of additional years.

Life in 400,000 BC

We were hunter / gatherers. We went out for food when we were hungry. There was no refrigeration. There were no 3 balanced meals a day nonsense, none of the advice about eating small portions. The idea of one hour a day for exercise was nonsense too. Humans lived like lions. When they found large amounts of food they ate lavishly and then hung out and lay around like the lions do today. We ate grass fed meats, our fish was not salmon harvested on farms but wild caught fish. There were fresh fruits and vegetables. That's it because agriculture did not come into being until 10,000 years ago, when humans figured out how to sow seed and grow produce in predetermined areas.

We have gotten completely away from our previous evolutionary lifestyles, and this has cost us dearly. We are now the most overweight nation in history, and getting heavier. It has to stop, and this book gives you an answer that works. The answer is to live and eat PALEO, meaning live like you were in the cave man era. This means you will mimic the diet and lifestyle of our hunter-gatherer ancestors. You can do this with very little input from any other sources. Just think about it. Our ancestors did not have bread products. They couldn't bake, and so our body systems are not genetically engineered to handle the refined carbohydrate products we ingest. Makes sense doesn't it? Dairy products like cheese did not exist, and again our bodies are not adapted for it. We may adapt over the next couple of hundred thousand years, but that does not help us now.

Read this Book - It will change your life!!!

Unlike other readers, I have found the author to be excellent at spelling out for you exactly how the caveman diet works and what the implications are for each of us. Just always keep in mind that we were genetically engineered to survive in a world different from our own. You want to eat only those foods that the early cave man ate. You want to skip meals now and then also because there were no regular supplies of food throughout the tens of thousands of years of human history. We also live just as long as our ancestors did. This is a major misinterpretation of history. Our ancestors suffered far greater death at the hands of infections, accidents, predators, and infant mortality. That is why people say that we live longer today, but simply is not true.

The book points out that most diet books will tell us to exercise more, and eat less. Our genetic impulse is the opposite, and this is just about the only book that points this out. We are programmed by our biological history to gorge ourselves on food when it is available. Our biological desire is not to exercise but lord over the land like the lions with periodic bursts of energy required to hunt and gather food.

CONCLUSION:

I loved De Vany's work and the author has hit the nail right on the head. If you read this book and thoroughly engross yourself in it for a month or two while following its tailored program, you will effectuate CHANGE your world. You will replicate the caveman's experience, and your body will respond by moving towards your individualized optimum weight. There is simply no other way to do it that will have a lasting effect. We have to return to our ancestral roots, and live in congruence with who and what we are. Read the book and change your life, and thank you for reading this review.

I expected better. Disappointingly unscientific
By R S
I got 17% done with this book (according to my Kindle) before the gaping holes in the scientific logic finally annoyed me to the point of putting it down. And the thing is, the purported "science" in the first 17% of this book mostly covered widely accepted facts about things like insulin, exericse, and weight control. If de Vany attempted to cover less widely covered areas of scientific human research (for example, the history of Homo sapiens' diet) in the later parts of the book, I can't even imagine how badly he must have botched those up.

I managed to ignore the first errors in thinking, but after a few percent into the book, I started keeping tabs on pages where I found lapses in de Vany's judgment. A few examples:

Page 33: He calls LDL "bad cholesterol" and HDL "good cholesterol". That's a gross oversimplification that's based on the same kind of thinking that led to the cholesterol-and-heart-health hypothesis that was widely propagated but is now widely considered wrong. FYI, the cholesterol carried in molecules of LDL and HDL are identical. Calling them "bad" and "good" cholesterol respectively is inaccurate and misleading. De Vany also makes no mention of VLDL (a subset of LDL), without which any discussion about LDL and HDL is incomplete. For a discussion that does these lipoproteins justice, I suggest "Good Calories, Bad Calories" by Gary Taubes, which describes their actual mechanisms in great detail.

Page 36: The author claims that "every time you eat, you turn off your body's fat-burning mechanism." Technically true, but I'm bothered by his implication here that if you eat 2000 calories spread out through 6 meals, you might gain weight, but if you eat those calories over only 2-3 meals, you'll lose weight. This is simply not true. If you burn more calories than you take in, you will lose fat. He's right that "your metabolism burns glucose before fat", but if you eat only a little glucose over 6 meals, this will inhibit your fat burning no more than eating the same amount of glucose in 2 meals. This has been confirmed by study after study. Important to de Vany's hypothesis about paleolithic eating is that ancient human hunter-gatherers didn't have a predictable meal pattern. But he's wrong if he thinks that frequent eating will inherently cause us to become hyperinsulenemic and overweight.

Page 43: The author advises to "avoid bananas (which have too much carbohydrate)." I have two problems with this statement. First, if bananas indeed have a high concetration of carbohydrate, then couldn't you simply eat a smaller portion to not take in as many carbohyrates? Second, a medium banana has 27g of carbohydrates according to nutritiondata.com. This is only 2 more grams of carbohydrate than a medium apple contains, and it's 8 *fewer* grams than a typical mango contains, yet he wholeheartedly recommends those foods in his list of "Fruits to Eat." If he bans one fruit based on its high carbohydrate content, shouldn't he ban other fruits with equally high or even higher carbohydrate content? His inconsistency should be a concern to any reader who cares about the scientific integrity of a book like this.

Page 44: More inconsistencies: On page 44, de Vany claims that "no fat is particularly good for you." Then on the very next page, he says "there is abundant evidence that omega-3 oils have a beneficial effect on inflammation and even obesity. [These oils] also promote brain health. Sometimes I take a cod liver oil capsule." First he says that no fat is good for you, but then professes the incredible health benefits of omega-3 fats and says he even supplements them! Which one is it? I'm just glad I know enough about fats to catch this inconsistency; now I know to be wary of every claim in his book, because he might be equally uncertain or flat-out wrong about them too. Of course, this is all ignoring the fact that it's downright ignorant to claim that "no fat is particularly good for you." All types of fat, including polyunsaturated, monounsaturated, and saturated fatty acids, have been found to have unique health benefits for the body. There's even a trans fat (conjugated linoleic acid) that has been studied for positive health effects. "No fat is particularly good for you" is perhaps the most laughable line I've ever read in a book about the human diet.

Page 46: Has the line "You may eat some dairy." This recommendation confuses me. De Vany claims that all grains should be removed from the diet on the basis that humans have no evolutionary adaptation to them, yet most available evidence shows that humans have been eating grains much longer than we have been eating dairy (albeit not at the high levels we eat them today). Using his logic, shouldn't it be more pertinent to cut dairy products than grains? De Vany also recommends "unsweetened yogurt or cheese in small amounts" as his dairy products of choice. Um, where would paleolithic humans have gotten yogurt or cheese? Isn't it much more likely that they would have consumed much higher quantities of plain milk than yogurt or cheese?

Page 47: He says that "butter and lard should be avoided completely", and instead you should eat the oils of "olive and canola, and maybe a little sesame oil for taste." First, his oil recommendations contradict his earlier statement that no fat is particularly good for you. If they're not good for us, why would we consume them in concentrated oil form? Second, I have no idea why he condemns the usage of butter and lard. After all, he recommends dairy products like yogurt and cheese--aren't the fats in butter the exact same as the fats in yogurt and cheese? And lard is just pig fat, which is similar in composition to the fats of mammals and fowl that our paleolithic humans would have hunted. If our paleolithic ancestors caught a particularly fat, I don't know, deer or something, do you think they would have shyed away from eating the delicious fat? Of course not! But oh, de Vany justifies this recommendation by saying "you'll get the fats you need from the animal protein you eat..." Okay, let me stop that quote right there. You can get fat from animal protein? Come again? Protein contains fat? I assume he means that the muscle tissue of animals contains fat as well as protein. But that is a much different thing than saying that protein contains fat. That line is second most laughable of the book.

I put bookmarks on many other troubling pages as well, but frankly I'm sick of typing of this review so I'll stop right here. The lapses in de Vany's thinking in these simple parts of the book give me cognitive dissonance. How can I simultaneously believe that what he says is true while also thinking that everything he claims may be as inaccurate as the quotes I've cited above? This is not the scientific analysis of the merits and content of the paleolithic diet that I wanted. I haven't read any other books about paleo eating, but I know enough to know that this book cannot give you the solid information that any potential new dieter deserves.

Solid plan for healthy living
By John Freeman
While it misses some of the beneficial aspects of the original Evolution Diet, Arthur De Vany's New Evolution Diet adds its own common-sense points (French fries are the worst food to eat) and not-so-common-sense points (intermittent fasting helps insulin sensitivity and "protein turnover") and provides a great, well-rounded plan for a healthy lifestyle. A vivacious grandfather, De Vany, is considered one of the pioneers of the primal/paleo lifestyle as he's been doing it for more than a quarter century. Newcomers like Cordain and Morse have provided basically the same instructions for the good life: eat how our ancestors ate (veggies, fruit, lean meats). But those instructions don't necessarily fill a book. What does is in depth explanation of what that hunter-gatherer diet looks like in a modern age.

For one, it is more intelligent than brutish. De Vany calls NED the "smart diet" because it's not about calorie counting, which may be effective for people, but it's really unsustainable. De Vany says, here's the menu of our ancestors, and you can eat however much of it you want. Although De Vany doesn't get into the psychology of eat (this needs to be a book), he actually gets into the metaphysics of the diet in an interesting chapter. He instead relies on the theory that if you eat the right foods, your brain will be satisfied and those French fries will cease looking good to you. I don't think this is the case, but that shouldn't make you pass this book up. It is a well-written, interesting manual should help you attain an ideal, evolved lifestyle.
