Bantam, 1986

A gripping war and sea story
Heart of Oak is one the finest war books and sea stories that I have read. I found it hard to put down. Although the intensity of the war and its effects on the men was depressing, I was compelled to keep reading. Jones' gives the reader a different and personal perspective--that of the lowly, poor, and teenage sailor; looked down upon by everyone else and facing death, boredom, and discomfort ...

Surefire Remedy!
Having read numerous books and watching many DVD's over the past few years on how to rid myself of the awful panic attacks that loomed over my life, I was sure that I had seen, read and heard it 'all' already. But to my great happiness and surprise Ms. Tristans' easy to read book gave me new insights in not only managing my stress but in actually conquering my panic attacks. I now am able to go ...

Definitely a motivator!
I'm a shy girl, but after reading this book I felt motivated to get off my butt and get out there and not wait around for prince charming to show up at my door. I'm actually excited to get out there and try a new strategy and outlook on dating! You never know... :)

The Tristan Chord: Wagner and Philosophy

Bryan Magee

Holt Paperbacks, 2002

The Schopenhauer Chord
Bryan Magee writes with enthusiasm and clarity. He's particularly good at explaining philosophy in layman's terms. According to Magee, Wagner was the most erudite of all the great composers, and his philosophical beliefs profoundly effected his compositions. His intellectual life can be broken into two main periods: the early, one of political radicalism and activism, and the late, one of ...

National Gallery of Art, Washington/D.A.P., 2008

Superb
I have always had a weakness for Dada, and within this quixotic movement a special liking for Schwitters. So I visited the Dada-exposition in the Paris Centre Pompidou last year, and there bought both the Dickerman catalogue of the American exposition, and the (French language) catalogue of the Centre Pompidou itself, which differ in many ways. The exposition was wonderful by the way, and one of ...

Loved The Book.ift..Great as a Gift!!
I bought this book because I own other great works by Jodi Hills. She is a brilliant author. I do have to say that this book was a hit. I showed it to my grandmother, whom can get very busy in her life. She loved it so much that she purchased 13 books and gave them to her dearest friends that she has had a hard time keeping in touch with due to the craziness of life. They all are raving about ...

I thought Keeping Faith was one of the best books out of 1,2,and 3.It was very temting for Josie when all kinds of people want Faith but she just not sure witch person is the one to have her.And its bad enough that she has to leave Hope and Charity the other horses because they have to leave the Riding Stabels. She also has a bad time parting with her horses. Even thought her parents are ...

Fantastic!
In a culture where sex and sexuality is so often shunned and scandalized, it's refreshing to see a book focused on this sacred aspect of our human nature. Being one of our greatest gifts as humans, sex can empower and spiritually connect us. With wisdom and maturity, the authors present a concise guide to the magickal, powerful force that dwells within us--one that we often fear or take for ...

The King in the Tree: Three Novellas

Steven Millhauser

Knopf, 2003

Exquisite
The three novellas contained in this book are perhaps the most exquisite I've ever read and it pains me to see this beautiful book with but three reviews previous to mine. Anyone who hasn't read "The King in the Tree" is really missing something extraordinarily special. The first novella, "Revenge" was simply not to my taste but it is perfectly crafted and oozing in irony and sarcasm. Your ...

Hope-so Too: When Two Hope Together Dreams Come True.

Jodi Hills

Tristan Publishing, 2004

Spectacular!
At last! A wonderful book that celebrates adoption (specifically transracial adoption.) Hope-so was adopted by a family that hoped so for a child to love and care for. Their hope was answered when a special little girl entered their family. Because they had hoped so for a child, they named her Hope-so. Hope-so wanted to pass on the love and family life she now had. She wanted to give her heart ...

Tristan, 2005

Compelling Brief Stories of Warmth and Humour
This "fast read" includes touching stories of love expressed in many ways written by people from different walks of life, from corporate leaders, to psychologists, housewives, etc.It is interesting how the emotion of love is translated in so many ways, yet notwithstanding one's station in life---an emotion we all need and relate to.It is enjoyable to read, and is a well received gift.

Nantier Beall Minoustchine Publishing, 2004

Walk beyond the wild side
What's it about? Lots of things, and nothing. It's about gender, the social identity, but not about body features that determine sex. It's about the act of sex, too, or maybe just an act. It's about the constant, demanding search for the next big head rush - maybe not a thrill, but the thing that makes you feel like you're really alive. It's also about heroin, and the search for no feeling at ...

Tristan Pub, 2008

An ideal gift for anyone who has suffered the loss of a animal companion
The death of a beloved pet can be just as traumatic as the loss of a family member. That's because for a great many of us, our animal companions are family. The grieving process can be just as keenly felt and in acknowledgment of this reality, Warron Hanson has authored "Paw Prints In The Stars: A Farewell And Journal For A Beloved Pet". Color photos of star images in the heavens are a perfect ...

Bradt Travel Guides, 2002

Fun to read... but how do we get there?
Hats off to Bradt for producing this guide in the first place. The three destinations covered in the book are about as "off the beaten track" as it's possible to get without falling off the edge of the Earth. They are 3 tiny islands floating in the middle of the South Atlantic. None can be reached by commercial air service. St. Helena is accessible by a regular, but quite infrequent passenger ...

Kudos for Clean Dating Ideas!
Kudos to Blair and Tristan Tolman for yet another useful book on dating! As a high school teacher I am often asked for creative ideas on dating. I used to scratch my head when asked, but now all I have to do is refer the teens to this book (and the author's previous book, "Dating for Under a Dollar"). Good, clean, activities that keep our kids out of trouble!

Tristan Tzara

PURE BEAUTY
The first time I read this book was in Budapest. My friend and I crossed the Danube and we went to a cafe. It was a special day : My friend was leaving in a few hours. I was in love and I was scared. As soon as I started to read this book, I was carried away and I felt safe. I was in the hands of a master. Tristan Tzara is a genuis.

The Romance of Tristan and Iseult: the Modern Version

Neighborhood Press Publishing, 2000

Romance
Tristan and Iseult is true literature. The author makes social commentary on many levels: society, culture, and the personal. Every person reading this book will enjoy it as they will see a person or particular situation which they can identify with. In particular, reference is made to the current medical situation in a caustic and satirical fashion which I truly enjoyed!! This book can be ...
