I had to put a star rating in order to make this comment appear! So my five-star rating is, to say the least, biased. But hey, if you don't respect your own work you can't expect anyone else to.
Copying and pasting from the web would be a very unrewarding way of writing a book, Kaneta, as well as unethical! It's not something I've ever done. Of course I looked on the Internet while doing my initial research. But in 2000, when I started writing Ayurvedic Beauty (the original title of Ayurveda for Beauty and Health), there was very little information about Ayurveda on the Internet.
On the other hand, I've often found passages from my books illegally copied onto other people's sites, usually used out of context to try to sell dodgy 'remedies'. Many authors have this problem and there's little we can do about it. Maybe you've found some of those?
Amassing all the information I needed for the different chapters was a long process. But along the way I had the privilege of spending time with some fascinating practitioners who generously shared their wisdom and experience. I'm glad to have another chance to thank them all here, as well as in the book.
Best of all was the opportunity to learn from the wonderful Yasmin Sadikot, founder of OmVeda. She shared her family's traditional beauty recipes, which can all be made at home (I tried them out) and are the core of this book. She was also unstinting in her welcome advice and her patience with my many questions. For those who haven't got time to do it themselves, I recommend Yasmin's sumptuous OmVeda range.
In a nutshell: writing this book was a lot of work but enormously rewarding, thanks to the many experts who helped.

there was some interesting information, lots of pleasant photographs----but so much of it seemed incomplete and a bit random as though the writer has gleaned information by searching the web and just copying and pasting
Listmania!
