The Pages In Between: A Holocaust Legacy of Two Families, One Home
Erin Einhorn
Touchstone
, 2008
In a unique, intensely moving memoir, Erin Einhorn finds the family in Poland who saved her mother from the holocaust. But instead of a joyful reunion, Erin unearths a dispute that forces her to navigate the increasingly bitter crossroads between memory and truth. To a young newspaper reporter, it was the story of a lifetime: a Jewish infant born in the ghetto, saved from the Nazis by a Polish family, uprooted to Sweden after the war, ...

The Hire Wire Act Over the World Trade Center
This is a wonderful story of Philippe Petit and his walk between the Twin Tower of the World Trade Center. It is done in a very moving way and the story is truly touching. I can't believe he did it! Since the towers are no more, the story is even more eloquent.

A Terrific Overview of Chinese Medicine
As a former massage therapist with a keen interest in holistic health and wellness, I found "Between Heaven and Earth" to be a fantastic overview of Chinese medicine theory. I don't believe the authors expected any of the readers to come away ready to practice acupuncture, but their treatment of the subject was both relatively easy to follow and quite thorough for such a broad subject. It was ...

Outstanding Must Read book
This is an extraordinary book. How many people do you know who would set off alone on foot across Afghanistan just after 9/11 armed with a stick? I had just read Three Cups of Tea so it was not unlikely for me to gravitate to this book, after seeing Rory on a CNN interview. What I did not expect was the sheer grit of the book and the man. This is not a comfortable book to read. It's a highly ...

Lighting a path thru history
This Pulitzer-prize winning book tells of the creation of the Panama Canal, and in doing so, gives a great introduction to the American century. The book is written in third person, and follows the who, what, when, where and how of this great undertaking. The who includes engineers, politicians, business leaders, and common laborers who manned the machines that dug the canal. The what includes ...

, 2003
Stellar advice, True Wisdom, Irreplaceable
I can't say enough about how valuable this book is. If I could meet the author myself to get down on my knees and thank him, I would. He has given such wise advice about the importance of caring about children's feelings. He has taught me more effectively than anyone else in my life what it really means to respect other people. I try to keep his principles in mind every day when raising my three ...

Love this Book
I absolutely LOVE this book! My husband & I are planning for a family, when I got this book in the mail I opened randomly to a page somewhere in the middle and magically turned right to the blessing for "The Mother-To-Be"! So amazing! My yoga instructor reads us passages from this book sometimes (how I heard about it) and everytime she does, the peaceful, blessed effect is palpable.

The Race between Education and Technology

Lawrence F. Katz
Belknap Press
, 2008
This book provides a careful historical analysis of the co-evolution of educational attainment and the wage structure in the United States through the twentieth century. The authors propose that the twentieth century was not only the American Century but also the Human Capital Century. That is, the American educational system is what made America the richest nation in the world. Its educational system had always been less elite than that of most ...

Europe Between the Oceans: 9000 BC-AD 1000
Barry Cunliffe
Yale University Press
, 2008
Europe is, in world terms, a relatively minor peninsula attached to the Eurasian land mass. Yet it became one of the most innovative regions on the planet, generating restless adventurers who traversed the globe to trade, to explore, and often to settle. By the fifteenth century Europe was a driving world force, but the origins of its success have until now remained obscured in prehistory. In this magnificent book, distinguished ...

Between a Rock & a Hard Place - Inspires beyond the imagination
Aron is an inspiration to all of us and an incredible writer. He fully acknowledges his flaws as a human being which makes this book all the more powerful. He loves life to the limit and paid a high price to do so. My son was seriously injured in the Iraq war and I purchased a copy for him. It takes courage to make a good life...and Aron has no shortage of that.

Excellent for College Composition Instructors
A teaching colleague of mine recommended this text for use in the freshman comp English class I was teaching. Although the text is pricey, it is well worth it, since it operates on the three levels stated in the title. You have a plethora of instructional content (my students appreciated the relevancy of the articles, and enjoyed the one-act play included), plus grammatical instruction, and ...
Between Therapist and Client: The New Relationship

Michael Kahn
Holt Paperbacks

An essential for the budding therapist
This is a clear, well-written book that examines those elements of the therapist-client relationship which can either be therapeutic or anti-therapeutic. Kahn gives a brief overview of the different perspectives of transference/countertransference and how to use these aspects effectively while avoiding common pitfalls. I strongly recommend this text for beginning graduate students of ...

An excellent book on cultures, values and how we communicate
This is an excellent book that begins with what culture is and how deeply ingrained cultural values are in us all. You will learn the different factors involved in the inculturation process and how the way we perceive and communicate in the world is shaped by the values we hold important. The book has plenty of examples of values many cultures consider important and how this effects their ...
Between Dignity and Despair: Jewish Life in Nazi Germany (Studies in Jewish History)
6 reviews
Marion A. Kaplan
Oxford University Press, USA
, 1999
Haunting and painful.
Between Dignity and Despair is haunting and painful. The statistics of the Holocaust and "sadistics" of its perpetrators can never capture the true cost in Human terms. History is more than a chronicle and analysis of events. It is also an understanding of the experiences of the people who lived through those events. These experiences do not lend themselves to quantitative assessment and ...

Best of Her Three Books By Far
I read this book first and am so glad I did. Between was so funny and she writes with such a creative style. I so thoroughly enjoyed it, laughed out loud and absolutely could not put it down! People complained it was unrealistic - who cares - it's fiction - it was fun entertainment! She is a very gifted writer. She describes my own world so well - being from the other side of Atlanta from ...
