Collaboratively researched and written by the husband and wife team of Michael Squires (Professor of English, Virginia Tech) and Lynn K. Talbot Professor of Spanish, Roanoke College), Living At The Edge: A Biography Of D. H. Lawrence & Frieda Von Richthofen is a thoughtful and searching biography of one of literature's most famous married couples. The vital relationship between D.H. Lawrence and Frieda von Richthofen, (and Frieda's influence Lawrence's writing), are revealed and documented in this exhaustive, scholarly history of both their lives, which is drawn from a wide variety of sources including Frieda's own letters. An excellent reference especially meant to complement literary collections of Lawrence's work, Living At The Edge is highly recommended reading for students of D.H. Lawrence and a superbly presented addition to academic reference collections.

This simple book from a simple man gives us 30 days with a spiritual master who has shown us the way to a more simple life. These meditations may be simple to the mind but one has to assimilate and take it one step further to the heart. St. Paul teaches us to pray without ceasing and Brother Lawrence gives to us simple words to enter the heart of the Lord.

Daniel Boone is a man lost in legend, "Mythologised heyond recognition". His true story is certainly more incredible and indeed astonishing than anything fiction could dream up. Even in his own lifetime he was feted for his incredible abilities.

Boone's abilities were apparent from his earliest childhood in mid-eighteenth century pioneer America. He had an uncanny sense of direction and ability to find his way around. He kept moving west through Kentucky to Missouri and even went as far as Yellowstone Lake on one trip. Yet despite opening up vast new territories for new settlers he died without owning an acre of land. In that time he had worked with and fought against the Indians, served with the American's in the War of Independence, narrowly missing being captured, and seen at least two of his children killed before their time.

I loved this biography by Elliot. I felt he really stripped back the layers of myth, carefully weighing up different accounts and the veracity of them while telling his story. The result is a small insight into the private life of a private man as well as his amazing public acts. I often wondered if Diana Gabaldon read this biography when working on her Outlander series, or maybe she had a Daniel Boone-ish sort of character in mind to base her character of Jamie on when he reached America.

This the the first novel by the great critic a much neglected-novelist, Andrew Lytle. The story is narrated by an older uncle to his nephew during one long night as he tells the story of his Alabama family around the period of the Civil War. Like Cold Mountain, Lytle's research and knowledge of the customs, speech, and lifestyle of his characters is perfect. Though this was his first novel, you'll see Lytle was already a master of fiction. When you're finished read "The Fathers" the Civil War novel by Lytle's friend poet, Alan Tate.

Lawrence's book is an excellent addition to the emerging literature on generating peak performance through classroom and teacher congruence with type. Clear, crisp,suucinct, it is the tool of choice for introducing community college professors to using the MBTI for individualizing classroom instruction. Those familiar with the work of Janet Levine will find this work a rich tool for expanding their sensitivity to individualized gifts beyond the enneagram.

Watt-Evens is a brilliant fantasy writer, and here at last is his masterpiece, all collected in one place. This four book series is rightly help up in the first rant of epic fantasy with Tolkien's Lord Of The Rings. The story is more in line with Moorcock's Elric series, dealing as it does with the doings of Gods and demonic blades, but Watt-Evens' work is far superior to Moorecock's. Watt-Evens' three dimensional characters have realistic reactions to their bizarre circumstances, and his world is fleshed and surprise filled. Each book is worthy of five stars and the whole series is almost to good to be true. Recommended to any fantasy fan.

Lawrence Wertan does a wonderful job in this story of an incredible dog who goes through his own self discovery and in the process enriches and changes the lives of the people who love him.... He definately captures the complex personality of the worlds most versitle breed of dog.

I live in New Orleans, and was excited about reading this book written by two New Orleans Detectives. When all the news broke about the New Orleans cemetary thefts, it broke my heart. Reading this book gave me a sense of justice in that the citizens of New Orleans will not tolerate this kind of evil.

This book, displays a wonderful topic! American edjucation definetly needs some help! I personally think it is very important that Ms. Lawrence spoke out about it! Now a days, way to many schools follow a criculum that values the teachers more than the children, wich in my eyes is totally wrong! All hats off to this author for a wonderful book that teachers every where should be reading!

Browsing through this book of sketches is like reading Bourgeois' personal diary. These drawings seem to be the ones she made only for herself, to figure things out and generate more ideas. This is not her "finished" work, so don't expect "LB's Greatest Hits", but any true fan of this artist will delight in seeing her sketchbooks come to life and reading her thoughts and memories of the drawings. Full of rich spontaneity & wit.
