He has published many books showing wild animals but "Eye to Eye" is certainly one of his most famous. It consists of dramatically close-up photographs of animals, always concentrating on the eyes of the subject. The book is divided into three parts: "One on One" shows photographs of single animals, often so close that ...             Marriage On and Off the Rocks: Intimate Stories of Marriages that Made It and Others that Didn't14 reviews Christine Posti Toll House Press, 2009 So much to learn... If you're someone who enjoys real-life stories, and if you believe in the importance of learning through others' mistakes, you will really benefit from Marriage On and Off the Rocks. The author drew on her unique personal and professional experience, including her experience interviewing - and it shows by the way she drew the detailed stories out of the 24 people she wrote about in the book. ...             No Beginning, No End: The Intimate Heart of Zen19 reviews Jakusho Kwong Shambhala, 2010 Zen with a smile I am a student of Soto Zen who is studying to become a Zen priest. My teacher gave me a copy of this excellent book. The book consists of insightful and often humorous talks given Jakusho Kwong-roshi to his students at his Sonoma Mountain Zen Monastery. Kwong-roshi was born in the United States and came to Buddhism through Shunryu Suzuki-roshi at the San Francisco Zen Center, and then spent many ...             Little Me : The Intimate Memoirs of that Great Star of Stage, Screen and Television, Belle Poitrine (as told ...20 reviews Patrick Dennis Broadway, 2002 The Big Bust Belle Poitrine... literally the beautiful bust, but in reality the big bust. The biggest bust of all time. Is it tongue in cheek? Did it happen?? Did it happen just that way?? Or has time, booze and a "happy outlook" altered the history of the most ridiculous success story ever told? I'll never tell, but intent historian that I am, I constantly read and reread this irreverant tale of ...             Adoption Forum: Intimate Discussions to Unite the Triad in Healing16 reviews Kasey Hamner Triad Pub, 2002 Discussions packed with healing suggestions for the triad!! I love Kasey Hamner's writing style. I could not put "Whose Child?" down so I immediately bought "Adoption Forum" when it came out. The book includes hot topics such as birth family integration, adoption abuse, secondary losses, open vs. closed adoptions, rights to records,adoption remorse, same-sex couples adoptions, etc. It is packed with solid suggestions for healing from all triad members, ...             Opening The Kimono: A Woman's Intimate Journey Through Life's Biggest Challenges51 reviews Theresa Rose Serious Mojo Publications, 2009 50 STARS!!! Wow, Theresa's got gonads, or more specifically, OVARIES!!! She really writes from her core, promising not to write about anything that doesn't scare her to the point of wiggling in her seat. This cathartic read is like a mirror held up to the most private confessions you have never made. Now, you have someone who is saying it first, making it safe to look at yourself closer than you may have ...             Face to Face - Praying the Scriptures for Intimate Worship (Vol. 1)18 reviews Kenneth Boa Zondervan, 1997 Good tool for praying Scripture This is one of the best "devotional" tools available. It's the best resource (outside of the Bible itself) that I've found to incorporate Scripture into your prayer time each day. I also have Volume 2 which is equally as good, but I prefer the way this one categorizes the verses (adoration, confession, thanksgiving, etc.). It groups 1 or 2 verses per category for each day. This is a great ...             Smithsonian Intimate Guide to Human Origins26 reviews Carl Zimmer Harper Paperbacks, 2007 Excellent Teaching Tool Finally, an explanation of evolution that is easy for the lay person to understand. The book is clear, concise and informative. A lot of detail is left out, but, I think that for the beginner, it is very appropriate. I have tried to read a lot of the books discussing the DNA breakthroughs involved with evolution, and I usually felt that I needed a PhD. This book did an excellent job of discussing ...             The Future of Love: The Power of the Soul in Intimate Relationships20 reviews Daphne Rose Kingma Doubleday, 1998 Brilliantly Insightful and Eye-opening Redefinition of Love Daphne Rose Kingma's "The Future of Love" is-- at least in some ways-- among the five best books I have read this past decade, but at the same time I am now also finding it to be among the hardest books on which to write a worthy review. First, I must warn potential readers that this is NOT a self-help book "about love." In the broadest of terms, Kingma turns our perception of how we view ...             Body Type: Intimate Messages Etched in Flesh16 reviews Ina Saltz Abrams Image, 2006 An impressive volume Although this charming little book is a quick read, it deserves to be returned to many times, to really admire and appreciate all of the unique, amazing, and well-done tattoos on display therein. In recent years, the old stereotypes of body modifications and the people who get them have been changing for the better. This book can only help in that endeavor. Far from displaying a bunch of ...             Days of Hope and Dreams: An Intimate Portrait of Bruce Springsteen10 reviews Billboard Books, 2003 amazing -- some of the best Bruce photos ever 1978 was a key moment in Bruce Springsteen's career, and Frank Stefanko was there to capture it in black and white. In these photos, you see a rock star breaking out, but still struggling and working his [tail] off. Stefanko had not even heard the Darkness album when he took the photos that would lead to its cover (and the cover of The River), but he captured the mood and the tone perfectly, of ...             Benedict of Bavaria An Intimate Portrait of the Pope and His Homeland10 reviews Brennan Pursell Circle Press, 2008 A Superb Biography Of at least 3 biographies I have read on Pope Benedict XVI, this one is by far the superior one. I finished it with a much greater sense of who this man is and how his Bavarian German background has shaped him profoundly. On the one hand, he is an erudite, brilliant theologian and thinker, probably near or at the top of all who have occupied the Papacy. On the other hand, his kindness, ...             Bernadette's Pages: An Intimate Crossroad10 reviews Bernadette Rose Smith Enlightened Ink, 2006 Bernadette's Pages - A reader from Atlanta I have read Bernadette's Pages three times over the last year and a half and it seems to speak differently to me each time. Even though her journey centers around the loss of her husband, her message will address the human process of any type of loss. Through the difficult months that she shares with us in her journal, she inspires the reader by her fearless and honest approach of looking within ...             A Heart Like His: Intimate Reflections of the Life of David11 reviews Beth Moore Broadman & Holman Publishers, 2000 Heart Like His This is a wonderful, challenging and convicting study on the life of David. As usual, Beth Moore captures the essence of the Word of God, and in this instance the life of David, and applies it to our own lives. The format is quick and easy to use, either as a personal or group study. And though the format is simple and straight forward, the teachings are solid, detailed, and focused on the ...             The Intimate Merton : His Life From His Journals10 reviews Thomas Merton, Patrick Hart, ... HarperOne, 1999 A spiritual master... The book `The Intimate Merton', edited by Brother Patrick Hart and Jonathan Montaldo, is a great encapsulation of the journals which Thomas Merton, monk, writer, activist and spiritual guide (I believe he would eschew the word leader, kept from the time he began considering a vocation (both as a monk and as a writer) to the time of his death nearly thirty years later. The book is broken into ...             The Intimate Eye: The Drawings of Burton Silverman11 reviews Brigham Young University, 2006 perfect book for the working artist this is exactly the kind of book i like..beautiful drawings and, just as important for a working artist, a real discussion of why he makes certain choices and how he mentally handles tricky technical issues (such as: for the drawings, he used an actual book but as it had different kinds of paper on each page, sometimes the surface didn't necessarily fit the image or media he wanted to use and he ...             Intimate Enemies: The Two Worlds of the Baroness De Pontalba11 reviews Christina Vella Louisiana State University Press, 1997 A Detailed Account of a Dynamic Woman Intimate Enemies: The Two Worlds of the Baroness de Pontalba, by Christina Vella, is one of the best books that I have ever read. I took Professor Vella's class at Tulane University in the Spring of 2000. This book was the basis of the class. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in thorough documentation of facts about a dynamic woman and her family, as well as two great ...             Intimate Death: How the Dying Teach Us How to Live10 reviews Marie De Hennezel Vintage, 1998 Unfinished Business The subtitle "how the dying teach us how to live", had a unusually specific meaning for me. As I watched my emotional response and empathy to the conversations between Hennezel and terminally ill patients, I began to notice how many patients wanted to die earlier, not later, until, that is, their conversation with Hennezel. And, in each case, the patient was glad to have lived another few ...             The Comeback of Con MacNeill (Silhouette Intimate Moments No. 983)10 reviews Virginia Kantra Silhouette, 2000 Thank heavens there are three brothers! After reading THE PASSION OF PATRICK MACNEILL, I had certain expectations for Con. He had to be strong, handsome, intelligent and most of all compassionate. His story had to have the same depth of emotion and character, the same intense and quality writing. That seemed a lot to ask, but I did anyway. I wasn't disappointed. THE COMEBACK OF CON MACNEILL is just as well written as ...             Dangerous Curves (March Madness) (Silhouette Intimate Moments, 917)11 reviews Kristina Wright Silhouette, 1999 Fast paced book that grabs you from the first page I am not a fan of romance, so I was more than pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed this book. I sat down to read the first few pages one night, and ended up reading it to the end. I never came to that part where, late at night, you tell yourself you're going to close the light after this next chapter. My desire to find out what happened next, was greater than my desire to sleep. It ...              search for books adoption, baroness, beginning, benedict, bernadette, challenges, comeback, crossroad, dangerous, discussions, drawings, encounters, homeland, intimate, journals, macneill, marriage, marriages, messages, poitrine, pontalba, portrait, reflections, relationships, scriptures, silhouette, silverman, smithsonian, springsteen, television books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
