A National Treasure
This is truly a treasure. Even if you don't like history, you will find yourself wanting to know more after reading this book. It would be a great read, side by side, in an American history class. Students reading about the lives of people and how they were affected by each of those early events in our history would surely enjoy the class a lot more. I wish it was printed in hardcover or large ...

i was teetering, wheeler tipped me over and into the pool
if you've earnestly read everything, joined everything, tried everything to get "it" and none of it has worked; if you're about ready to give up on the whole thing for once and for all, you just could be ripe for this. i was. between wheeler and nisargadatta you'll be cooked, trust me. it's over. thank goodness! don't have to buy any more spiritual books, no more questions, no more angst.

Beginnings and Endings.
This wonderful children's book explains the history of the ill-fated ship, from the beginning of its maiden voyage in England to the discovery of the boat at the bottom of the ocean depths by Dr. Robert Ballard. The illustrations are lively and vibrant, giving depth to the easy to understand, yet enchanting text. I have read several children's books about the Titanic and this one seems to have ...

A Shining Season: The True Story of John Baker
I was 8 years old when John Baker passed away but, I do remember when they changed the name of the school to honor this hero. This book is chicken soup for the human soul. This book belongs in everyone's personal library and it should be read at least once a year to remind us that every little thing counts.

Remarkable.
Having read inumerable books on mountaineering, I wasn't prepared for the impact of this one. I've read "Fragile Edge" by Maria Coffey, (it is excellent, she was Tasker's girlfriend)about her and Hillary Boardman's experiences following the deaths of Boardman and Tasker, and wasn't prepared for the emotional impact of this book. It is probably one of the best I've read. Boardman's style ...
A Shining Affliction: A Story of Harm and Healing in Psychotherapy

Penguin (Non-Classics)
, 1996
a strong memoir, about which I have a few criticisms
At its best it reminded me strongly of I Never Promised You A Rose Garden, in that it shows the healing relationship between an excellent therapist and a disturbed female patient. This book had the added benefit of having the patient/author also be a therapist, and while being healed herself doing a marvelous job of participating in the healing of a young boy whose problems are remarkably ...

Fascinating
What do most people think about when someone mentions Japan? Samurai, ninjas, tea ceremony, karate, and kabuki? Can you imagine a Japan without these things? Actually this book describe just such a Japan. In the Heian period (950-1050AD), Japan was dominated by life at the imperial court. The ideal man was a gentle, poetry-writing aristocrat and the women were some of first novel writers in ...

Deeply passionate, intense read
The Corner of the Dead is a deeply intense and emotional read. From the start, the story grabs you and won't let go. You feel the pain and sorrow throughout the novel and brings you right into this dark world. You will not put this book down and then will read it again to make sure you got all of the details. Very good read.

Reality Romance
I loved this book! I could identify with the heroine -- her life's wishes and dreams rang so true to my own. It was a joy to read -- very absorbed in all of the plot's (and sub-plot's) twists and turns. Get out a box of chocolates and enjoy this one. If only it were real....

If you spend time with kids, read this book!
Reading Helping Young Children Flourish was so eye-opening for me! Aletha Solter's understanding of children and childhood made such sense to me, gave words to things I have experienced when spending time with children. I especially love how respectful she is of children and how she helps adults trust in kids and their natural development. I'm a teacher, and recommended this book to the ...

Sacagewea - an inspiring tale
Sacagawea by Judith St. Martin is a well-written historical novel for older children and young adults filled with rich descriptions and characters. Judith St. Martin, a noted children's biographer, used Lewis and Clarks' journals and other original material to tell a good story. My eight and a half year-old daughter says the book really inspired her. It made her think about what it would be ...

Ord is afraid of the dark and Max and Emmy and the Dragon Tales group help him deal with it. We just received the book a few days ago, but have read it over and over and over.

Shining Tribe....not Shining Woman
If you find the wide assortment of Tarot decks confusing, you might want to consider working with materials prepared by Rachel Pollack. If you have a relatively novel understanding of Tarot, a Christian or Jewish background, and limited exposure to ethnographic concepts, Pollack's 78 DEGREES OF WISDOM is the place to begin your studies. Then take up her SHINING TRIBE. Pollack's 78 DG uses the ...

An enchanting fairy tale...
In a magical Russian world full of rusalka, leshyi, boyars and magic, Finist, the magician-prince of Kirtesk has a few problems on his hands--or often, talons. Oh, just the usual: a sorcerous, seductive cousin who's out for his throne, politics, magic and, of course, True Love. I loved the Russian setting and the use of Russian folk-tales to augment the excellent plot. Both characters ...
