The book was both an easy read yet very informative. I gave a copy of the book to my father, who is not one to read a book, and he was so taken back by how interesting he felt the content was. He picked up the book in the morning and had it finished by mid afternoon. He must have called me 15 times to ...             Why We Run: A Natural History25 reviews Bernd Heinrich Harper Perennial, 2002 Great book! Great book! Not only for those who are passioned for running but for anyone who is curious about history and evolution.             Selected Prose of Heinrich von Kleist1 review Heinrich von Kleist Archipelago Books, 2009 The Dark Side of Enlightenment The Dark Side of Enlightenment A short life, an anguished soul, a strange and compelling writer. by Ian Brunskill The Wall Street Journal, 12/21/2009 A century ago, a distinguished Austrian scholar observed that Heinrich von Kleist (1777-1811) was "the most difficult problem in literary history" and that the more we learned about him, the more of a problem he became. That state of ...             Mind of the Raven: Investigations and Adventures with Wolf-Birds32 reviews Bernd Heinrich Harper Perennial, 2007 Fits the bill Just a great book, highly recommended. Has a delightful and thought-provoking mix of the lyrical appreciation of nature, bean-counter quantitative core of science, the amusing biographical anecdote, and thru it all the book moves forward to the exciting discovery that in Yellowstone ravens are wolf-birds. Bernd Heinrich might just be the greatest living biologist/writer we have.             Thank You for Arguing: What Aristotle, Lincoln, and Homer Simpson Can Teach Us About the Art of Persuasion32 reviews Jay Heinrichs Three Rivers Press, 2007 Must Read! Great Rhetoric Book That Pays For Itself I read probably 100 books a year and this is my favorite pick for 2009. Heinrichs does a great job of walking the reader through the art and science of Rhetoric. Most people have little training on the subject and tactics so the author starts out slow and gradually walks the reader through the subject content using humor and wit as he builds his own ethos while teaching the reader about how ...             Winter World: The Ingenuity of Animal Survival22 reviews Bernd Heinrich Harper Perennial, 2009 Wonders of Nature This book was fascinating all the way through. The individual adaptions each species makes to survive are truly amazing. The students that Professor Heinrich teaches a The University of Vermont are truly lucky. After reading this book, I want to stop and intently watch every bird and bug and mammal, etc that I encounter on my walks. Here is a sample of what can be learned in this book. The ...             The White Spider17 reviews Heinrich Harrer Tarcher, 1998 Memories from my youth... I spent the summer of 1977 as an American college student hosteling my way across Europe. I bought this book in a small bookstore in Grindelwald, Switzerland and then proceeded to enjoy a blissful couple of days sitting on the front balcony of the Grindelwald youth hostel, reading The White Spider, with the north face of the Eiger towering overhead. I would read from the book, and then gaze up ...             Struwwelpeter in English Translation33 reviews Heinrich Hoffmann Dover Publications, 1995 Lies My Parents Told Me My wife and I were discussing our future probable children this evening, and the topic of lying to kids came up. I'm all for it. Kids heads are supposed to be filled with lies and nonsense, as far as I'm concerned. My wife, on the other hand, is an elementary school librarian, and has other ideas. Sure, she's down with Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny and telling children that if they sit too ...             Seven Years in Tibet86 reviews Heinrich Harrer Tarcher, 2009 Seven Years in Tibet 'Seven Years in Tibet' is a classic, to place it into historical context here is a "Brief History of Tibetan Travel Literature": Prior to 1783, the only Westerners to travel to and write about Tibet were a few Jesuit priests and adventurers [[two early narratives are collected in Clements Markham, ed. Narratives of the Mission of George Bogle to Tibet and of the Journey of Thomas Manning to ...             How To Raise Chickens: Everything You Need To Know (How to Raise...)14 reviews Christine Heinrichs Voyageur Press, 2007 A great comprehesive guide for chickens I meant to read the book quite awhile ago. I've been raising chicken for over two years now, starting with a little yellow book and whatever I could find on the internet. This combines all of those hours spent searching and printing and sifting through materials, plus, there is even more than I had found. Christine packs quite alot of information into this book. There is plenty of ...             The Trees in My Forest13 reviews Bernd Heinrich Harper Perennial, 1998 The real meaning of "ecology" Bernd Heinrich's abilities in acute perception are well portrayed in this book. He possesses extensive scientific training and research in natural conditions - having published on bees, ravens and geese. This account ties much of that research to a wider view of those animals' home territories. It's a study of the patches of woods surrounding his home. What trees are growing there, and why? ...             Homeopathic Cell Salt Remedies: Healing With Nature's Twelve Mineral Compounds2 reviews Nigey Lennon, Lionel Rolfe Square One Publishers, 2004 Informative Book I liked the book, easy to read and comprehend. Very practical with some proven results. The only question I have is how the authors relate to homeopathy or Cell Salts. Usually these books are written by people who have degrees and practical experience in the subject. In the info about authors there is no mention about either of the above. Both of the authors are writers/ journalist and there ...             Summer World: A Season of Bounty7 reviews Bernd Heinrich Ecco, 2009 In awe of nature The book goes like a true story of parts of nature. Wood frogs: Their rituals(awake for only few months a year and still thriving) seem weird. The author doesnt just stop at this observation. He goes about setting up little experiments to prove or dispute the possible explanations. Bald-Faced Hornet Nests: Hornet paper, a Talisman to ward off all evil predators from a vireo's nest. ...             A Year In The Maine Woods18 reviews Bernd Heinrich Da Capo Press, 1995 Bernd Heinrich does it again I've read several of Heinrich's books and have never been disappointed. Some reviewers compare him to Thoreau, favorably or not. While in certain places he does evoke thoughts of Thoreau, that is not what he is trying to do, contrary to what some reviewers seem to think. As a word-class biologist and naturalist, Heinrich approaches his story of life in the Maine woods from two vantage ...             Crimes And Mathdemeanors5 reviews Leith Hathout A K Peters Ltd, 2007 Ideal for high school libraries, classroom use, and for adults who want to keep their math skills sharp!

One of the most effective methods they use to do this is their reliance on the recollections of Felix Kersten, Himmler's personal masseur, as well as those of Kersten's wife. Himmler was so ...             The Malleus Maleficarum of Heinrich Kramer and James Sprenger79 reviews Dover Publications, 1971 Catholic Church Uber Alle! I expect sales of this book to rise dramatically now that we have a good old fashioned fire and brimstone Pope back in office. As a former member of the Luftewaffe and SS, Pope Benny knows how to get things done without messing around. In no time at all we'll see Vatican-backed troops marching on the Sodom & Gommorrah's of the modern world as well as all schools, radio and television stations and ...             The Marquise of O and Other Stories (The Penguin Classics)9 reviews Heinrich von Kleist Penguin Classics, 1978 Reluctant officer and suicidal gentleman As a playwright, German classic Kleist sits on top of the Olymp, right up there with Goethe and Schiller. He also left a relatively small prose oeuvre behind when he died at 34 (in a suicide pact). An unpublished 2 volume novel is said to have disappeared. What we have is this bunch of stories and some journalism, and letters. He is a classic, but he was no classicist (hence no boredom like eg ...             Malleus Maleficarum: Or, The Hammer of Witches (Forgotten Books)3 reviews Heinrich Kramer, James Sprenger Forgotten Books, 2008 Excellent book on witch-hunting!!! I found this book to be exceedingly helpful in both finding and prosecuting witches in my local community. Heinrich's points are both easily understood and followed... he has struck a mighty blow against heretics the world over. I eagerly await his next release!             Myths and Symbols in Indian Art and Civilization7 reviews Heinrich Robert Zimmer Princeton University Press, 1972 The rich pageantry and depth of Indian mythology In the editor's forward, Joseph Campbell notes the sudden passing away of Heinrich Zimmer in 1943 and the vast potential of the work that he had begun but was far from completing. Campbell definitely was influenced by Zimmer and was intent on continuing his work both here in this edited book and also in his own pursuits.
