The Shifting Realities of Philip K. Dick : Selected Literary and Philosophical Writings
9 reviews
Lawrence Sutin
Pantheon
, 1995
A modern Gnostic master.
While I've read this entire book cover-to-cover, I have probably read the last half (Part Five: Essays and Speeches, and Part Six: Selections from the Exegesis) at least four times. That's where the real philosophy is. Or perhaps I should say the real mysticism. Actually, P.D.K.'s thought was a combination of philosophy and mysticism, not unlike the works of Pythagoras or Plato. Indeed, I would ...
Familiar Men: A Book of Nudes
6 reviews
Laurie Toby Edison
Shifting Focus Press, 2003
Getting acquainted with Familiar Men
Familiar Men takes on unfamiliar subject matter: nude males. In Western visual art, women have long gotten the nude treatment, thoroughly and repeatedly. In recent times female nudes are even becoming slightly more diverse in their appearance (Edison contributed greatly to this diversification in her other book of photo portraits, Women en Large). But men are less frequent subjects of ...

Shifting Sands - Not just a self help book
Steve Donohue strikes a powerful chord in his book, "Shifting Sands: A Guidebook for Crossing the Deserts of Change" - the metaphor of a desert rather than an upward climb is far more logical and applicible to "everyman's" journey in life. I am not a reader of self-help books or even of much non-fiction, but do some in the course of my work, so in reading Steve's book, I was pleasantly surprised ...
The Last Prairie: A Sandhills Journal

Stephen R. Jones
International Marine/Ragged Mountain Press
, 2000
A lovesong to an alluring, little-known place
Stephen Jones notes in the book that the Sand Hills of Nebraska make up one of the few "dark spots" on those wall posters featuring a satellite view of the United States at night. It is, truly, a wide open space, and he does the landscape great justice with his evident love for the land, its wildlife, its people and history. For those who think Nebraska is simply home to a football team and ...

Now more than ever, we NEED to be positive!

Now, more than ever, we need to focus on the positive. All of the negative things being thrown at us every day can drag us down, with the economic turmoil raging around us and affecting us every day, now is ...

Shelby and the Shifting Rings (Defender of Time)

A. M. Veillon
Parity Press
, 2005
Great read
This was a refreshing story that shows girls being smart and adventurous without trying to hide it. Taking place in a girls school eliminates the problems of competition between the sexes and lets us focus on the story. Shelby goes through many of the same things all girls do and how she handles it should be an example to them. Thanks A.M. Veillon and when is the next book coming out?

A Younger Reader in Mind
This intro to weather was written with a younger reader in mind, but that should not deter an older reader who wants to know more about the facets of weather and how it is studied. Of course, many discoveries about weather are relatively recent. In November of 1944, B-29 aircraft were flying a bombing mission at an altitude of 30,000 feet. Their target was Tokyo. Turning toward the east to make ...

My son loves this book
I must say, I and my son are very pleased with this book. Since he received it, he hates to put it down. It arrived in a quick manner and in great shape. The author has really captured that "something" to interest my 8 yr old son. It had been hard to find a book that he would really enjoy, and not put down with lack of interest after the first chapter. He loves the characters in this book. ...

Much more than another coffee table book
Unfortunately I haven't yet made it to SFMOMA to see the Gerhard Richter exhibit. However, my much anticipated copy of Richter 858 arrived in the mail today, and to say that it didn't disappoint is an understatement. I had initially been a little wary about getting it. It comes with an aluminum slipcase and poetry and an audio CD with music composed by the brilliant Bill Frisell, and while some ...
Shifting Paradigms: New Approaches to Horace's Ars Poetica (American Classical Studies)
2 reviews
Bernard Frischer
Scholars Press
, 1991
Horace Reconsidered
Frischer's excellent text offers the sort of scholarship that is too often lacking in the humanities, where we find writers eager to shy away from evidence and operate on assumptions. Frischer brings to Horace not only a thorough knowledge of the poet but also of Horatian commentary and analysis. He questions long-held assumptions about the Ars Poetica, such as that the original title was ...

"I am sitting here alone in my pretty cell of stone..."
Has the Krazy Kat curse finally lifted? More than a few brave companies have tried to reprint entire runs of this highly acclaimed but very underprinted comic only to end up self destructing. Way back in the hoary old days of the 1990s a company called Eclipse printed all of the Sunday pages from 1916 to 1924. Then something happened. No 1925 volume ever appeared. The curse begins. Not long ...
