Healing the Trauma to our Soul

Sharon Wegscheider-Cruse goes through the different roles that people act out in an alcholic family and how each breaks down unity and supports the addictive behavior of the alcoholic. Then, she gives practical ways this system can begin to heal and recover such trauma to the soul. Samuel ...

A fascinating take on fathers & sons
I was directed to this strange book because of another recommended work here at Amazon. Much to my surprise, I absolutely enjoyed this strange twilight or maybe it's--"permanent midnight " ? view of a mixed-up and gifted son looking at his life from all these bizarre angles. One being the fact that the son, (here the author himself) as a young adult, ends up taking a job at a homeless shelter ...

Well worth reading
The author of the bestseller Reviving Ophelia this times takes us on a journey through the lives of our elders. Following the lead of Bernice Neugarten at the University of Chicago, she distinguishes between the "young-old" and the "old-old". This book focuses mainly on the later, telling the stories of people who are coping with loss and illness. While individual differences are always ...

If there is one book on changing relationships you must read, this is it!
Margaret has created such a powerful book on conversation, learning, and change. I can not imagine a more powerful book telling stories that can transform how we work, play, and learn together. This is a life changing read and one that I highly recommend. And even more importantly, in such a turbulent time, keeping in conversation with others may be the only thing that helps us hold this world ...

A HOT Start to Summer!!!!
Usually, with a book of novellas, there is always the chance that one or a few of the stories may not be as good as the others. Well, Zane has managed to select excellent stories, all HOT, Captivating and Unique! The male authors are slamin! Don't be fooled - the female authors hold it down as well - including Ms. Zane's story, which is a delicious romance that was the perfect fit as the last ...

Another Man's Awakening
Until I read this book, I thought I had a clear, knowledgeable understanding of illegal immigration. Before the fifth chapter I realized how little I actually knew, and I live in the area Ankarlo is writing about. One of the other reviews I read was critical of the black and white photographs in the book. If I wanted to be critical, I would agree. However, Ankarlo describes his experiences ...

God Bless You, Mr. Robbins
If you can picture the scene of sitting in a high chair (I'm not saying you have to remember this, mind you) and you can go so far as to imagine an adult is scooping orange mush from a small jar, only to stuff it in your face despite your bitter resentment, then you may empathize with me when I say I've read altogether too many books without substance. My point about this novel is that it is ...

Interesting
I absolutely love this series, and after reading the summaries for the book, I immediately bought it. The book itself was interesting, and I didn't mind spending $18 for it. Mello's voice in the novel is pretty funny. He says "To hell with Kira. I'm only interested in L" (Finally, someone said it). Anyway, there wasn't as much information on L as I had hoped, so if you buy this book in hopes of ...

PROUD OF AMERICA?
I haven't read this book yet, but was introduced to it on Bill Moyers Journal this week. I know it's a 5-Star book already. It occurred to me that with this book, and the publications and documentaries on the destruction of the American Indian, slavery, our aggression towards Mexico and the displacement of Hawaii's Monarchy and its people (among others), the question of whether I am "proud" of ...
'Shakespeare' by Another Name: The Life of Edward de Vere, Earl of Oxford, the Man Who Was Shakespeare
48 reviews
Mark Anderson
Gotham
, 2006
Intriguing
Anderson's book is only partly a biography of de Vere. Primarily it relates in detail the correspondences between the events of de Vere's life and the contents of Shakespeare's plays and poetry. Implicit in this is that to a very large extent Shakespeare's work is autobiographical. Anderson also is a firm advocate of the position that most of the plays originated much earlier than is usually ...
Married to Another Man: Israel's Dilemma in Palestine

Ghada Karmi
Pluto Press
, 2007
Beautifully told with unfettering conviction
This book is a must read. The author begins speaking of the two rabbis who approached the so-called "land without a people" in 1898 and observed how beautiful a place it was but that it was 'married to another man'. Karmi focuses on the point that the 1948 'Nakba' has over time been sidelined in negotiations and mainstream media to be replaced by more recent 'realities on the ground' caused since ...
One Place after Another: Site-Specific Art and Locational Identity

Miwon Kwon

one contention after another
I find Kwon's book informative and insightful, especially as a practitioner working with installation and context-specific project, and with current development of contemporary theories particularly in mind. Kwon's geneological approach towards reading the development of site-specific work is impressive, obviously overlaid with cultural theory in her analysis. Although she has focused mainly on ...

Great book!
Just the right mixture of romance, humor, quirky characters, and action. I loved the interaction of all the characters with each other. Over all it was just a great, light, quick, funny read.

This book has changed the way I look at someone's passing.
I really love JW's books and his style. The reading is VERY easy and very interesting and entertaining. Whenever I get one of his books, I want to sit down with it until I have finished it. I love his style; he is very unpretentious. I am very impressed with his abilities. This book has explained some things about death and dying that I did not know, in a way that makes perfect sense, and ...

Great book for little people
I had and loved this book's sister, 'Monster at the end of this book', as a child. I had the book for my kids which made it through my first two unscathed. When my last child (2 yr old) go a hold of it, that was the end. So this board book was a great solution. I got it's 'sister' in the board book format also. I just love the drama that Grover (and Elmo) provide in this book.

He Only Gets Better
I have to agree with the other reviews that this is Craig's best yet. HE just keeps getting better. He appears to be a truly gifted writer and can bring his characters alive so you feel you should know them if you run onto them somewhere. The friendship between Walt and Henry Standing Bear brings something special to the series. Well all the secondary characters are interesting and you want ...

Watch for the Biased Reviews
I am giving this book 5 stars even though I think it probably deserves 4. It appears as though a large portion of the negative reviews were written by students who were upset not to be included in the book. Also, one review appears to be duplicated, and I suspect that 4 1-star reviews were written by the same person - the atrocious spelling gave it away. I am not too many years out of high school ...

An adorable picture book that talks about growing up
This book celebrates what is special about being a child. The same familiar pattern on every page, allows children to anticipate what will come next. It is a wonderful book to share with young children.
