Perfect Pick Me Up and Inspirational Kick in the Pants
A co-worker of mine gave me a copy of this book and I'm happy to say that it kicked me in the pants just when I needed it. Everyone knows they should voice their opinions and be bold, but we sometimes forget how important it is in leading the fullest life we can live. I keep the book on my shelf near my desk a work and flip through the pages when I'm feeling like I need a push to be stronger at ...

A New Voice To Watch In Romance!!!
One of the best historical romances I've read in years. I was hooked from the beginning. Great characters with lots of suspense and romance. Hard to put down. The plot and characters seemed fresh, the pace was quick, and it was a totally engrossing read. A sexy hero, a feisty heroine, a mystery, and a passionate romance...put them all together and you get "Daring the Duke", a historical romance ...

Daring to Look: Dorothea Lange's Photographs and Reports from the Field
As someone who used iconic Lange photos in my American Studies classes for years, this book in one I wish I had had BEFORE I retired last year! Their are photos I hadn't seen, in areas I didn't know she worked and, most importantly, her 'reports from the field'. These notes and extended captions give tremendous background to the photos and would be very interesting to students.

Inspired Us to Marry In A Redwood Grove
This is a really wonderful book. Rather than repeat all the accolades and special details, I'll just relay my personal experience. My then-girlfriend and I read this book together in the summer of 2007 and fell in love with the book and the people and the trees. It inspired us to seek a redwood grove to get married in. On August 2, 2008, we were married inside an ancient, living redwood ...

Knut Haukelid

North American Heritage Press, 1989

Amazing the selfless sacrfice made by Norwegian Heros
Haukelid's personal account of his actions around the destruction of the heavy Water stocks and subsequently the Hydro ferry read like a James Bond novel. Bravo to these Norwegian heros and bravo to Mr. Haukelid for giving us such a personal account for posterity.

" 'My exterior is always the image of my heart.' "
Gabrielle Émilie Le Tonnelier de Breteuil, Marquise Du Châtelet wrote her last lover, the younger army officer Jean François de Saint-Lambert, this self-confident statement (" 'My exterior is always the image of my heart.' ") about herself. In Judith P. Zinsser's biography of this extraordinary eighteenth-century woman, the marquise does appear to have lived her high-born, offbeat, and ...

Informative
This is a good book, especially if you are a family member and want to know the PJ's perspective. As a mom of a pararescueman in training, I was enlightened by this point of view and the support system the families developed to sustain each other during emergencies. I enjoyed this book, read it from cover to cover as soon as it arrived. I have loaned it to several other family members who are ...

Sark

Fireside, 1998

kudos from a SARK rookie
This was my first experience with SARK, and I was skeptical. I read the book in two nights, in a warm bath, and came out a SARK fan!! She is playful and complex at the same time - there are so many levels to her writing. If you are in the mood for a light read, this is it - in the mood for a deep thoughtful read, this is it! - don't let the childlike look of the book fool you - this woman has ...

A Star of First Magnitude!
I began reading with my yellow highliter in hand. I soon had to put it down. It makes no sense when each word or phrase or sentence on each page is a gem. May as well paint the whole book yellow! Because so many of his insightful thoughts and words are also so poetically beautiful, this is not a quick read. It demands reflection, contemplation, digestion. And it is immensely nourishing and ...

Riveting
O'donnel never ceases to amaze. What a fabulous and meticulous oral historian - capturing the stories in the subjects's own words, tirelessly researching facts to bring his readers incredible stories from the few left to tell them. I couldn't put it down. The story of two men, similar missions as one looks for the other to complete his work which he thought would be forever lost as messages in ...

Messy Faith: Daring to Live by Grace
A. J. Gregory

Revell, 2008

While most of us trudge toward the cross with the best intentions, at times our lives just don't pan out the way we've planned. Messy Faith addresses the muddled adventure that we call "working out our salvation." It is being sure and unsure, whole and broken, warring, losing, and winning. It is being right and being wrong and having no clue, but believing anyway. And it is trusting in God to perfect the final product of our flawed, human lives. ...

Daring to Be Bad: Radical Feminism in America, 1967-75 (American Culture Series)

Alice Echols

University of Minnesota Press, 1990

Amazing! A serious work that is also a delicious read!
Daring To Be Bad is an essential history of the Women's Liberation Movement. Daring is nuanced in that it connects this movement to other protest movements of the 60's while remaining true to the Women's Movement's distinctive arc. If you want to understand the vexed racial politics of Women's Movement or the equality/difference divide, start with Daring. Echols has written an intellectually ...
