If you wanted some detail, this book has it.
By A Customer
Jim Schnabel first showed up on the remote viewing scene in late 1995, with an RV documentary he pulled together with the help of his personal friends in the CIA ("The Real X-Files," Discovery Channel USA and Channel 5 Britain), which aired around the time the program was being declassified, and coincidentally presented the same view the CIA had told the world about remote viewing. A parade of titles and military ribbons, Schnabel's first-attempt at documenting RV history mostly, in the name of supposedly supporting it, managed to invalidate it, both by featuring the least legitimate person in the whole program, and by overtly omitting a great deal of information. So, it was with a great deal of nervousness that I read his book "Remote Viewers."
On the positive side, this book has a tremendous amount of detail, some of it hard-won. It's the only book by an 'outsider' to the field (although it shows as much or more bias in some areas as books by ! insiders, so I'm not sure if that matters). It documents in detail many of the "amazing stories" in remote viewing that I have heard first-hand from many of the people involved with the former government program. It was nice to hear a compilation of these accounts in one place, and in that sense, it does provide some validation of remote viewing, and some very interesting reading.
It is worth noting that darn near every amazing story in Schnabel's book, other than a few related to now-deceased folks, is attributed to Joe McMoneagle, who thus far seems to carry the entire burden of 'proving RV' on his shoulders (while everybody else makes money off supposed expertise at the subject). It is a little confusing though, that the book presents it as if McMoneagle were the primary source of info or something, when that is not the case. According to subsequent interviews with McMoneagle, he barely interviewed with Jim at all, and nearly all that info Schnabel just lift! ed from existing interviews, Joe's book MIND TREK, etc. Sc! hnabel presents it otherwise, to say the least.
There are even a couple of places, one in particular (related to Joe supposedly seeing grey, large-eyed aliens) that is an outright fabrication tacked onto an otherwise legitimate account - why? Why would Schnabel throw that in when Joe said no such thing himself? It does little but serve to discredit an otherwise no-nonsense man who has worked hard to distance himself from just that sort of thing.
That really disappointed me. I could understand Schnabel featuring McMoneagle -- after all, nobody truly looking into this field could come to many other conclusions -- but it was a backhanded and questionable compliment to pretend a source he didn't have, and then present things so... creatively. I wondered if maybe Schnabel's notorious need to 'debunk' everything (as he allegedly did with Crop Circles in a previous book) was creeping in there.
There is one startling bias in the book that people outside the RV field may not n! otice, but which anybody in it should find horrifying. The entire foundation and legitimacy of RV is dependent, first and foremost, on the laboratory research under highly controlled conditions. The controls ('the protocol') are in fact the definition of the difference between 'remote viewing' and 'psychic work' --the science is the whole reason RV was granted some legitimacy and utilized at all.
Yet, Schnabel deliberately focused on the "psychic methods" of one man, invented a good decade after RV itself was used to demonstrate and get funding by the US Gov't (and which was one of a number of methods utilized). He carried forward a deliberate and ongoing, highly publicized mythology in this field, that 'remote viewing', which has been in progressive study since the early 70's by many individuals, is summed up by "the psychic methods Ingo Swann compiled in the 80's." (These methods are a unique conglomerate of many sources, most notably French research! er Rene Warcollier's work, and a little bit of Swann/Puthof! f's "Scientology" influence.) Mr. Swann deserves respect, but he and his later methods are not the center of, nor are they the summation of, remote viewing as a field. This focus may seem like only a subtle misunderstanding, but it has been used to completely annihilate the credibility of RV in the media, introduce literal mind-bending cults, tie RV into UFOlogy and half a decade of pre-existing disinformation, etc.
Methods used have little to do with what is inherently RV, although they do touch on the means that various remote viewers in the program may have gone about things. Probably the only Viewer who is currently "proven" in many areas is Joe McMoneagle, who as something of an irony, doesn't even use those methods. So...
Schnabel's book almost seems to focus AWAY from the science altogether. The physicist who directed 85% of the published research for the program (Dr. Edwin C. May of Cognitive Sciences Laboratory) was briefly mentioned as if he! were completely unimportant, and then ignored for the rest of the book. It was as if the entire science program ceased in 1985 -- which is rather ironic, since in fact, more was accomplished and demonstrated from 85-95 than previous to that, and even third party reviewers have commented on the improvement in the science since that date.
Schnabel seems very positive, yet in directing the reader away from what constitutes at least half the subject and history -- and the most legitimate part of it -- he subtly invalidates the subject while on the surface seeming to support it.
Perhaps he thought the average reader wouldn't be interested in science. Or perhaps he was trying to leave "a doorway out" for the continuing attempt that the CIA and other groups have made to discredit psi ability as part of the pretense that it is not used ("because it just isn't worthwhile, so you can trust us that we're not doing it") in black ops projects.
If you are inte! rested in remote viewing, don't miss this book. But, be aw! are that there is more than one side to any story...

Detailed, documented and well written. The Best RV Book.
By A Customer
Schnabel takes a complex and hidden history and lays it out in a very readable fashion. Great journalism is about the detail under the surface as well as the stories behind the leading characters. I found this book gave me a good balance of detail and drama. I come away "knowing" the characters and a bit of their motivations.
I've read many, many books on RV and OBEs(Swann, Moorehouse, Brown, Monroe, Atwater, Sinclair, etc.). This was by far the most detailed, well-researched and well-documented. If you're interested in RV, this is definitely the book to start with.
I disagree with some of the previous reviews about Schnabel's agenda. I perceive no agenda here. It seems quite well balanced.
Summary: a fascinating subject treated with diligence and delivered well by a very good writer. If there were a sequel, I'd buy it.

Remote Viewing Primer
By MatterPatterns
"Remote Viewers" by Jim Schnabel remains as the most comprehensive book on the history and development of the Remote Viewing Program within the United States as any I have ever read. His perspective as an investigative reporter from the outsider being exposed to the phenomenon of RV research for the first time, gave him the unique opportunity to take a more broad view of the entire history of the subject, and the personalities involved. The astounding developments of notable "psi events" obtained through the methods employed by the various RV teams keep the reader turning pages in fascination while at the same time weaving in the history and step by step development of the different techniques used to achieve those astounding events. Instead of a singular biography, as so many of the RV books have become, this book is more of a collection of biographies, and unabashedly even covers the tensions and personality clashes that occurred under such a stressful and competitive project.
Such "psi events" include seeing and being able to accurately illustrate people and places distant in space and time, the ability to influence the health of individuals by mental prowess, telekinesis, even the ability to affect electronic equipment at a distance by powers of the mind alone. Further to his credit, the author gives a detailed description of the competition between various countries to develop such techniques, leaving this reader further convinced of the urgency of continued and more varied research into this subject. In reading this book for the second time, I became more acutely aware of a phenomenon called telepathic interrogation, where remote viewers were able to negotiate with the mind of soviet spies over a distance, without the soviet spies even realizing what was taking place! It makes one wonder, when contemplating to the conversations we have in our minds when making decisions, who it is we are actually debating with! Like any great goal that is sought, the RV phenomenon is not without risks as well, and those are discussed in this book, although few specific cases are given.
I found the information within this book both encouraging; in as far as we have come in this taboo subject in a relatively short time. On the other hand, it is also discouraging, in that at least as far as we are told, the lack of funding for research in this field has resulted in a stagnation of what should become the greatest hope for humanity, rather than a mere instrument for war. I cannot help but wonder, does it never occur to any of these countries, rather than "remote influencing" a target into cardiac arrest, why not "remote influence" the target into philanthropic, or humanitarian goals? I am further discouraged that loss of funding seems to prohibit a broader investigation, such as the Chinese work with light frequencies showing up on sensitive film as a result of remote viewing, on page 233. It would seem there are several avenues largely open to further investigation, such as historical procedures for engaging the "signal line", or remote viewing under hypnosis.
"Remote Viewers" by Jim Schnabel remains, in this reader's opinion, the primer for all those interested in exploring first hand the mysteries of psychic phenomenon and its application in today's world.

The widespread usage of mobile phones that bring computational power and data to our fingertips has enabled new models for tracking and battling disease. The developing world in particular has become a proving ground for innovation in eHealth (using communication and technology tools in healthcare) and mHealth (using the affordances of mobile technology in eHealth systems). In this book, experts from a variety of disciplines--among them computer science, medicine, public health, policy, and business--discuss key concepts, frameworks, examples, and lessons learned in designing and implementing digital health systems in the developing world.

The contributors consider such topics as global health disparities and quality of care; aligning eHealth strategies with government policy; the role of monitoring and evaluation in improving care; databases, patient registries, and electronic health records; the lifecycle of a digital health system project; software project management; privacy and security; and evaluating health technology systems.

Achieve Both Organizational Effectiveness and Efficiency
By Robert Morris
All organizations need management control systems (MCS) which vary only in their nature and extent. In this brilliant volume, Kaura explains HOW to design and then implement such systems. He carefully divides his material within five Parts:

First in Chapters 1-4, he identifies the requisites of designing and implementing MCS, then explains organizational segmentation by responsibility, measures of performance, and principles of transfer pricing.

Next in Chapters 5-9, he focuses on strategic planning and control, performance measurement by operating business units, performance measurement of service departments and coordinating units, task and operations control systems, and management control through innovative budgeting process.

Next in Chapters 10 and 11, Kaura shifts his attention to management reporting systems (MRS) and explains how to benchmark performance through reporting for interfirm comparison.

Then in Chapters 12 and 14, he examines how MCS can be of substantial benefit to financial institutions and export-oriented organizations; in Chapter 13, he suggests a performance planning and monitoring system for research and development.

As for Part Five, in Chapters 15, Kaura explains how to use a Balanced Scorecard system to translate long-term objectives into operational parameters; then in the final chapter, he presents what he calls a "Management Audit of Control and Reporting System."

Kaura agrees with R.J. Mockler's definition of management control as being "the systematic effort to set standards with planning objectives, to design an information feedback system, to measure actual performance, to note deviations of the actual performance from standards and their significance and to take control action for ensuring that all the resources of the organization are most efficiently and effectively used to achieve corporate goals." The ultimate objective of any MCS is to enable the given organization to be both effective and efficient. I agree with Kaura that effectiveness measures the extent of achievement of goals whereas efficiency is the relationship between input and output. "Even if two divisions/departments or organisations are able to deliver the same output at the same cost but consume different inputs, they can be regarded as equally effective but not equally efficient." Mockler's definition guides and informs Kaura's rigorous examination of the options and opportunities which can be created by an effective and efficient Management Control System.

Those who share my high regard for Kaura's book are urged to check out Carla O'Dell's If Only We Knew What We Know: The Transfer of Internal Knowledge and Best Practice, Harvard Business Review on Knowledge Management, Nancy M. Dixon's Common Knowledge: How Companies Thrive by Sharing What They Know, and two authored by Peter M. Senge, The Fifth Discipline and The Dance of Change: The Challenges to Sustaining Momentum in Learning Organizations

"Alphabet or Abracadabra? - Reverse Engineering The Western Alphabet" details a ground-breaking discovery: the origin of the western 'abecedary' - the alphabet's sequence of letters.(Not to be confused with the origin of the design of the western alphabet letters.) It must have been somewhere between 3400 and 3700 years ago that the western alphabet's linear sequence of characters (abecedary) was created by following an already existing tabular model of a South Asian Pre-Sanskrit 'abugida' or 'alpha-syllabary'. In spite of it looking quite disorderly, the western alphabet letter sequence is found to be based on that ancient orderly pattern, a pattern that categorized sounds by how and where they were articulated in the mouth. This study retraces the steps of how that copying process took place, a process that also included a number of 'errors and omissions' made by one, perhaps two ancient scribes most likely from the Near East. The errors eventually resulted in the apparent disorder of the western 'ABC'. By tracking these 'copied' errors across a number of ancient alphabets, the author was not only able to reconstruct the copying process, but he also arrived at a date before which it must have taken place.

An insightful book
By Subhash Kak
Wim Borsboom has hit upon a brilliant idea related to the origins of the western alphabet. He shows how in its earliest and original form the western alphabet sequence of characters (abecedary) was modelled after an ancient scientifically organized Sanskrit alphabet (abugida).
The Sanskrit alphabet from its very early beginnings used a column and row format, and in his research he shows how that format was initially adopted by Near-Eastern (probably from the Levant) "budding linguists" (as the writer puts it).
Using as evidence a ca. 3400 year old cuneiform clay tablet from what is now Syria, he demonstrates how the original Indian tabular format became read row-by-row rather than column-by-column, which mistaken order eventually resulted in its now so familiar linear alphabetic sequence.
Using clear and helpful color coding, he demonstrates how that western linear sequence (clearly shown right on the front cover of the book) still shows its early origins - what looks like a haphazard sequence of letters still shows its ancient linguistic scientific roots.
This research is of importance not only to the student of alphabets and languages, but also to the historian and the layperson interested in understanding cultural interactions in the ancient world and how those interactions still reverberate in the modern world.

Although, at first sight "Alphabet or Abracadabra?" seems not an easy read, when one first reads the front outside and inside cover pages, and then its outside and inside back pages, and when one then proceeds page by page from the introduction to the end without skipping (except for the notes at the end of each chapter) then story of this discovery slowly unfolds and its impact eventually registers strongly.
Another way to enjoy this book is to first peruse the many illustrations but... leave the tables and charts for later serious reading.

At the end of the Indian print version of the book is a delightful little story in which the writer reminisces about when (first grade,1960) and how (pandemonium) his research began with a puzzling question to the teacher, "Miss, why are those letters in that order?" to which she answered, "Well, they are alphabetic of course!"
Little did she (yes, the proverbial matron) know that when she called for "Order!" (see front cover blackboard) that one of the more precocious kids would find that order and write about it!

Facinating research
By Vasishtha
In the context of Indology, linguistics has justifiably attained a bad name as it has been explored, exploited and misused by too many Indologists. Many of their works have provided illustrations of ‘agenda driven' research.

Unfortunately though, much good that can come out of linguistics is also thrown away like the proverbial "baby with the bathwater"!

However, there are few brilliant gems. and this book, "Alphabet or Abracadabra? - Reverse Engineering the Western Alphabet" by Shri Wim Borsboom is one of them.

It may not be a light reading, but definitely worth the effort for a curious, tenacious and inquisitive reader."

The reading of this book has been a wonderful occasion to reflect about the way we use words
By Cristina M.
It is never too late to learn.
The reading of this book has been a wonderful occasion to reflect about the way we use words, that is, without relating them to their origins.
Abracadabra has been a discovery and a trip to the past which becomes present.
Perfect layout and easy to read, even for non expert in this specific field.
I appreciate Wim Borsboom's.subtle sense of humour and his ability to tell a story.
Brilliant!

In January 1993 sectarian rioting left two thousand Hindus and Muslims dead in Bombay. Only two years later Mani Ratnam's audacious Tamil filmBombay�(1995) used these events as a backdrop to a love story between a Hindu boy and a Muslim girl.�Bombay�was condemned by Muslim critics for misrepresentation and was embroiled in censorship controversies. These served only to heighten interest and the film ran to packed houses in India and abroad.

Lalitha Gopolan shows how�Bombay�struggles to find a narrative that can reconcile communal differences. She looks in detail at the way official censors tried to change the film under the influence of powerful figures in both the Muslim and the Hindu communities. In going on to analyze the aesthetics ofBombay, she shows how themes of social and gender difference are rendered through performance, choreography, song and cinematography. This is a fascinating account of a landmark in recent Indian cinema.�

Very Academical
By HansBlog
Lalitha Gopalan writes very academically with many upmarket adjectives and obscure findings. Often she says, "my reading of [movie title]", "mise en scene" or "diegetic". I also know Bollywood books of journalist Anupama Chopra, released in the same BFI series as Gopalans Bombay book, about the movies DDLJ and Sholay: Chopra tells her story much more entertainingly and with a care for the readers' wellbeings. Whereas professor Lalitha Gopalan prefers the sound of the academic discourse; I don't.

Including appendix, foot notes, photos and index, the thin volumes amounts to 91 pages. The photos show mostly scenes straight from the movie; there are only few working photos from around the film set. We do see the faces of director Ratnam and lenser Menon; but music director A.R. Rahman is never depicted and rarely mentioned in the text (his music as such does get some pages).

Topics discussed for a few pages each:
- censorship, political pressures and riots around the release of Bombay
- the meaning of people-less scenery in the movie
- relation to the horror movie genre and other movie genres
- parallels to movies from Iran, Italy, Palestina
- parallels to earlier Ratnam movies
- the role of the steadycam and its function in the narrative
- the representation of muslims, hindus and authorities in the movie
- how movie and music interact

Topics merely touched:
- what happened at the Bombay riots 1992/93
- how the movie was actually filmed (except for the steadycam and location names in Tamil Nadu)
- how the music was developed
- star gossip
- backgrounds about the actors

Discussing investments, Gopalan for mentions costs such as "1.5 crores of rupees" or "30 lakhs of rupees". She doesn't explain "crores" or "lakhs" and she doesn't give a rough translation into US dollars or British pounds. And the editors don't, either.

All in all, I liked the pages about political pressure before and after the movie's release, and little else. Professor Gopalan delivers too much interpretation and too few facts, she prefers theory over practicalities, she is too absorbed fitting the movie into certain genres and categories, and uses the wrong ductus.
