Come Back Barbara
Published in Paperback by Zondervan (June, 1998)
Average review score: 
Incredibly Helpful
Come Back, BarbaraThis is an excellent book for parents raising teenagers. The format of the book is such that the reader gets the story from both the parent's side and the daughter's side. This gives the reader insight into the reasoning of the daughter, as well as the viewpoint of the parent. Although the subject matter deals with a wayward child and how the parents and family dealt with the issues involved with that, the principles given in relating to children are a benefit to all parents. I recommend it to everyone, whether you have children who have rebelled against your teachings or not. The principles of interpersonal relationships dealt with in this book are useful in many circumstances. A must read!
Excellent for parents of wayward childrenThe father and daughter in this book openly share their journey of separation and reconcilliation after the daughter forsakes all the spiritual values her father held dear. This book is a must for parents who are struggling with how to relate to a wayward child. This is a true story.
The Complete Astrological Handbook for the 21st Century
Published in Paperback by Schocken Books (October, 1999)
Average review score:
All I ever wanted to knowJust like everything else I ever wanted to learn about - Chinese astrology or fengshui, it took me ages to find a book like this that told me what I really wanted to know. It went far beyond the animal signs into real Chinese astrology - four pillars of destiny, etc. Thank you.
This is one book that lives up to its title!I had my chart done recently, but it didn't seem right. I bought this book and I was able to actually cast my own in Western and Chinese too! And I'm no math wiz.
Wealth of knowledge, comprehensive, enlightening!Astrology exerts a profound influence on most of the world's cultures. Only in the west is it considered a gimmick or nonsense. This book is a first! It provides a historical context for the six primary systems in use today and enables the serious student to develop and expand his own knowledge and capabilities.
Conglomerates and the Media
Published in Hardcover by New Press (October, 1997)
Average review score:
How To Create A Media Conglomerate From Scratch!Many have watched with dismay as conglomerates have gobbled up an increasing number of media companies. This collaborative effort between the New Press and New York University's (NYU) Departments of Culture and Communications, Education, and Journalism addresses that concern. Experts ranging from practitioners to academics were invited to participate in a lecture series hosted by NYU in 1996. Edited versions of their talks appear in this volume. An introduction by media scholar Todd Gitlin is followed by nine individually authored chapters covering media activities from radio and television to newspapers and book publishing. Surveying changes in telecommunications, Aufderheide (communication, American Univ.) calls for public vigilance and a middle ground between the apocalyptic doomsayers and those who believe the new age of communication has dawned. This book will be of value to media scholars as well as to citizens following this issue.
How To Create A Media Conglomerate From ScratchThis book is quite insightful, especially for a Southeast Asian media professional like myself. I recommend this book to everyone, even to those who work in the upper regions of the power sturcture of the media conglomerates critiqued in the collection.
For starters, it is a wonderful overview of how the media economy is shifting all over the world. The US market is saturated, as the book said, and the rest of the world is ripe for picking, especially my country, the Philippines.
This book is a tool to launch our own media analysis of what's happenning in our own countries. And from an analysis, we launch a critique, and from a critique, we launch steps to face the situation.
This book, published by New Media, is invaluable. I first read about it in an issue of Utne Reader. I took down the title and hunted it down in Amazon. I found it, bought it, and consumed it. I loved it because it gave me useful insights to work with.
This is a book I will dog-ear in my attempts to understand what to do in my field, and how to start my own media conglomerate from scratch. I already have my ideas, which I hope aren't just soundbites in my head.
Essays providing insight into a growing area of concern.It is difficult to read Conglomerates and not be alarmed at the growing media control by a few major companies. The book begins with an insightful introduction by noted scholar Todd Gitlin and includes essays from Mark Crispin Miller (Johns Hopkins scholar and author of Boxed In) and David Leiberman (USA Today), among other prominent writers. One discrepency occurs with Lieberman's piece: it is listed in the table of contents as "Conglomerates, News, and Children", but in the chapter it is referred to as "Conglomerates, News, and the Media," leaving the reader to decide the correct version. This book is a must have if you want to gain an understanding of what's happening with media monopolies; Bagdikian fans rejoice! However, it is not chalk full o' references, so students looking for cites to follow may be disappointed. In the introduction, Gitlin echos an earlier statement by Niel Postman (author of Amusing Ourselves to Death): "Big Brother isn't looming, Brave New World is."
Creating Learning Communities
Published in Paperback by Foundation for Educational Renewal (August, 2000)
Average review score:
A benchmark anthology of essays and insightsCreating Learning Communities: Models, Resources, And New Ways Of Thinking About Teaching And Learning is a benchmark anthology of essays and insights representing a wealth of outstanding commentary from a variety of contributors on educational issues and innovations ranging from homeschooling and distance learning to autodidactics and learning clubs. An outstanding and highly recommended addition to academic and professional reference libraries, Creating Learning Communities can help educators and policy makers to develop true learning communities beyond the traditional borders of brick & motor buildings, conventional class room structures, or anachronistic curriculums.
Envisioning a world without schoolsAs this book says it is time to think outside the box. While most educators think that changes must be made in the education system they are stuck in the school/teach/educate syndrome. 'A Coalition for self learning' believes that social needs, brain research and new techniques and technologies demand a radically different learning system, and makes it possible. And, that is happening with the proliferation of homeschooling and the emergence of "cooperative community for life-long learning centers" that are forming the foundation for a radicaly different society.
A "must-have" for educational futuristsRon Miller has collected some of the hottest new ideas and models for the educator, student or parent looking for a way out of current institutional education.
Death Assemblage
Published in Paperback by Texas Tech University Press (March, 2002)
Average review score:
A Great Mystery Read That Shouldn't Be MissedSusan Cummins Miller has scored a hit with this one. Frankie MacFarlane, a graduate geologist, is intertwined with the people of Pair-A-Dice, several murders, and the geology of Nevada. This one kept me spellbound for hours and the ending caught me totally by surprise. For a change, this is a totally challenging murder mystery fraught with suspense. Certainly not your run-of-the-mill butler-did-it suspense tale. If you are looking for a great mystery read, try this one. You won't be disappointed.
A gripping thriller, exciting and eagerSusan Cummins Miller clearly draws upon her expertise and background as a field geologist with the U.S. Geological Survey in writing Death Assemblage, a superbly crafted murder mystery set in the mountains west of Pair-a-Dice, Nevada. When a geologist in the final week of her dissertation fieldwork tries to unravel the secrets of the earth's stones, she becomes involved in a deadly cat-and-mouse game of kidnappings, blackmail, and rampant greed. A gripping thriller, exciting and eager to lure the reader into a labyrinth of human deceit, Death Assemblage is enthusiastically recommended reading for dedicated mystery buffs! Attention Hollywood -- this is the stuff from which blockbuster movies can be made!
A Rocky ThrillSusan Cummins Miller brought me hours of pleasure with her anthology of Women writers, "A Sweet Separate Intimacy". Now she has branched into a new field of adventure fiction with a gutsy geologist named Frankie who stirs up a hot desert town. Thanks Ms. Miller for a great read!

Desserts For Dummies®
Published in Paperback by For Dummies (22 September, 1997)
Average review score:
I overcame my fear of bakingThe book made me feel confident and I took on more and more recipes. They all came out wonderful. My family is trying a lot of new dishes out of Dessert for Dummies, and they love them all.
Bravo!The recipes are great, beautiful, wonderful, and most importantly-just about fool proof! Try the lemon poppy seed cake with the blueberry topping. It alone I think was worth the price of the book. The only time I messed a recipe up was when I was to impatient to wait for a pan of custard to cool. Stunning recipes for a novice cook.
Great book for those just starting!!!I went to school(BICC in Baltimore)for baking and pastry and can only wish that I had had these guys as teachers. Very informative with easy to use directions. They explain every thing very thoroughly and I gotta tell you the pie dough recipe is excellent. I am no longer afraid to attempt pie making!!! If you are into desserts and want a good book with some great recipes go for this one to start your collection. You just can't go wrong.
The Dog I.Q. Test
Published in Paperback by Penguin USA (Paper) (December, 1994)
Average review score:
Really fun!! My dog is a genius! LOL!I am the President of Angel Pups, an organization that trains kids (middle school and up) to work with their dogs and then takes them to visit nursing homes. For fun, last week we all did this IQ test together! We all laughed SO hard, some kids had tears streaming down their faces!! It is a blast to see how smart your dog is and what you can do to help them improve their intellectual capacity. This week we're doing the Owner IQ test!! I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys working with dogs!!
Are you wondering how smart your dog is?Fun and interesting book. Questions you will need you answer about you and your dog to see how your dog ranks among other dogs on the intellience scale.
For Everyone of Us Who Believes Dog is SmartestNeat book for us dog lovers to examine our dog's intelligence and then let this data be added to the collection the author maintains.
She gives the findings of her research. So many interesting gleanings to be had from this work. We have used these now on three of our dogs, of two different breeds. Also, used the author's cat i.q. book. Cat is hands down the smartest, as we already surmised.
Egotopia: Narcissism and the New American Landscape
Published in Hardcover by Univ of Alabama Pr (Txt) (November, 1997)
Average review score:
A powerful and unconventional look at contemporary AmericaThis is a bold and powerful look at American life outside of political cliches like "evil corporations" and "evil Hollywood," thrown around by PBS / Naderites and conservatives respectively. Even though I am what Miller would consider a conservative, I could very much appreciate his book. It is a diagnosis like no other; it is coming straight from the heart of the beast -- a PR executive who realized the fine line between reality and fiction, advertising / entertainment and real life, and saw how it became uncoscionably blurred in post-Industrial America. I recommend Miller's inter-disciplinary (everything from economic sociology to art theory) book to anyone seeking an irreverent perspective on what at first glance seems to be a wornout subject. Prepare to be shocked!
A way forward?I am grateful to John Miller for addressing so succinctly, albeit in a somewhat heavy-handed manner (possibly a legacy of his involvement in challenging the outdoor advertising industry?), the changes which have fashioned the current aesthetic climate in which we are struggling to make some sense of our lives. Realization that redefinition of culture, community, acceptance of mutual responsiblility and of pure beauty are needs as essential to our collective well-being as breathing is latent and must, like the Phoenix, arise from the ashes of our self-absorption. Then, perhaps, that gnawing feeling we live with in the pits of our stomachs can be palliated. Egotopia points a way forward. But have culture, community and beauty become luxuries we can no longer afford in an economic democracy? Given our past and current excesses would espousing a more intellectual aesthetic eventually lead to a new era of intolerable elitism? How does this all translate to the world stage?
A critical, and sometimes harsh, view of cultural declineMiller's Egotopia presents an iconoclastic, highly critical view of modern America. Miller's central thesis is that the suppression of the public individual in favor of the private individual has had drastic consequences on our culture and environment; while Miller's focus is on aesthetics, his argument can be modified to bear on discussions of the environment and ethics as well. To blame for the rise of the private individual, Miller argues, are psychotherapy and neoclassical economics. The former is problematic in that it encourages individuals to satisfy primarily, if not only, their own egos. The latter replaces aesthetic, ethic, and cultural values with strictly economic value. The result of combining these two forces: the New American is taught to increase utility and profit at the expense of beauty, right, and goodness. All forms of value are replaced with economics; and, further, economic value is personal and subjective. The private individual is heralded as the measure of all things, and as a consequence society and culture decline. As a general warning, this book should probably not be read by economists, advertising agents, or "outdoor advertisers". For the rest of us, however, it serves as both an enlightening expose of the true American culture and a call to arms.
Corbin's Fancy
Published in Mass Market Paperback by Pocket Books (01 June, 1991)
Jack Miller brings everything right back to the Gospel. The lessons that he and his wife learned showed me "what love looks like." None of us could put it down. It's been a God-send!
