Ramtha: The White Book
Published in Paperback by Jzk Inc (November, 1999)
Average review score:

Ramtha
This is the best book for anyone who is searching for God. The book is filled with truth, wisdom, poetic and love. If you are an open mind person, the words will touch your heart and awakening your soul. What Ramtha really trying to tell us is who we really are. God is not outside of us. God is not on the sky of piece real estate property. God is inside of you. You are it.I reconmend this book to anyone who is searching for God.

Can This Be The Truth?
Read Biblicial history. Read New Age. Read Prophicies.
But RAMTHA is a must read! If all you have read leaves you with questions and puzzelment. This book will answer the questions!
I like his style, his bluntness, and his knowledge. To not accept his teachings is to deny your own truth.


Red, White & Blue in the USA
Published in Hardcover by Palari Pub (01 November, 2002)

Average review score:

Simply wonderful!
This picture book is simply wonderful! I wish I had thought to take pictures like Mrs. Chao during the aftermath of September 11th. So many memories flooded back. I was full of patriotism and American pride when I finally finished paging through the book at 3 o'clock in the morning! Thanks so much for your inspirational pictures!

Beautiful book!
Very beautiful photos of all types of flags, especially American flags. This has some very interesting and unusual pictures of displays of patriotism and some one-of-a-kind shots from Ground Zero. Great book. I recommend it!


Red, White, and Green : The Maturing of Mexicanidad, 1940-1946
Published in Paperback by Texas Western Press (March, 1999)
Author: Michael Nelson Miller
Average review score:

refreshing and creative study that is long overdue
The field of modern Mexican history has been waiting for years for a book like this. Mexican culture is given its rightful place among the great cultures of the world in many pre-Columbia studies, but almost never treated fairly in the 20th century by political historians. This book would make a great text for a class in modern Mexican cultural history.

Thoughtful and engaging!
This is a bright, thoughtful and engaging book! Anyone interested in the culture of Mexico or the history of the Southwest will enjoy this historical perspective.


Rembrandt by Himself
Published in Paperback by Yale University Press (August, 1999)
Authors: Christopher White and Quentin Buvelot
Average review score:

The Master
It's about time that I found a (good) book on this subject. Rembrandts self-portraits (I feel) are of his most important work. The quality of the prints are wonderful...unlike 90% of the art related books floating around. The color reproduction is more accurate than most. This is a must have for any fan of Rembrandt...or for any true lover of painting.

Wonderful book on the self portraits of the master.
This book is facinating. It includes three good and fairly dry essays on the topic of Rembrandt's self portraits. More interesting are the prints of all the works that are considered his self portraits, and the detailed commentary on these works. The prints are very good and quite useful for the lover of Rembrandt.


Riders in the Chariot
Published in Hardcover by (December, 1987)
Author: White
Average review score:

Astonshing. Unforgettable.
Riders in the Chariot is a supreme work of art. At least a dozen times, I found White's writing so moving and beautiful that I had to put the book down and reflect on what I'd just read. All too rarely has a book prodded me to deeply examine my own life and priorities -- this book is one of them. Riders in the Chariot provides a reaffirmation for the jaded 21st century reader: humilty over arrogance, beauty over ugliness, good over evil.

Epic scope and mystical significance.
This deceptively complex and tension-filled Australian novel begins as the straightforward story of Mary Hare, a strange, half-mad spinster who lives in Xanadu, a crumbling "pleasure dome," with the busybody Mrs. Jolley, a servant she fears. At various times in her meanderings, Mary meets a kind laundress named Mrs. Godbold, who lives in a shed with her nine children; Alf Dubbo, an often-drunk aborigine artist; and Mordecai Himmelfarb, a Jewish concentration camp survivor who has emigrated to Australia and now works in a machine shop.

In succeeding sections, in which these characters overlap, their intricate interior lives are developed in colorful, memorable detail, and the reader quickly sees that each is a lonely survivor of some traumatic experience which has made him/her question the nature of good and evil. Each hopes to unravel some of the mysteries at the center of the universe. Remarkably, all of them have experienced the same apocalyptic vision of a chariot being drawn by four horses galloping into a shimmering future.

In the hands of a lesser writer, the characters, their daily lives, and their vision of the chariot might have been presented in a sentimental or romantic way, or even been used to illustrate the author's religious views. But White's view of the chariot and its importance is far subtler--and more enigmatic--than that, and its role in the lives of these characters is both unsentimental and haunting. Tantalizing parallels between the vision of the chariot and the mysteries of Revelations, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, and the Seven Seals, along with Biblical warnings about blood, fire, and destruction will keep a symbol-hunter totally engaged. At the same time, more literal readers will find the stories and characters so firmly grounded in the reality of 1960's Australia, that they are captivating in their own right and may be taken, and thoroughly enjoyed, at face value.

This is a huge novel, an old-fashioned saga of fascinating characters living their lives the best way they can, while wrestling with issues of epic significance. The author's primary concern with telling a good story never falters, despite the overlay of mysticism, and the leisurely pace and fully realized dramatic action make this a totally fulfilling reading experience.


River Safety A Floaters Guide
Published in Paperback by Greycliff Pub Co (19 April, 2000)
Author: Stan Bradshaw
Average review score:

Explains the most common hazards confronting canoeists
River Safety: A Floater's Guide examines actual floating accidents, then moves on to identify and explain the most common hazards confronting canoeists. Author Stan Bradshaw draws upon more than twenty-five years of experience and eleven years of teaching canoeing safety to show how the vast majority of fatal river accidents are easily avoidable if canoeists follow a few basic, simple rules. From "reading the water" and identifying river hazards, to basic principals and techniques of river navigation, to fundamentals of river rescue and a thorough discussion of clothing and equipment, River Safety is highly recommended reading. Enhanced with equipment and first aid kit check lists, a section on important knots for river runners, and an extensive directory of river running courses offered throughout North American, River Safety is a "must" for the novice canoeist and has much of significant value for even the seasoned river floater.

Small investment for a lifetime of reward
I'm an open ocean paddler and thought I could handle an upcoming river trip without any fuss; but this book brings to light in an easy to read format the great need that even the most experienced of paddler has to properly prepare for the calmest of water journeys on the best of days. I'm very greatful for the river reading techniqes Bradshaw discribes and for the true stories of people who lost their lives because they weren't prepared. With so many people getting out on the water these days, books like this are essential and will save many lives.


Romancing Nevada's Past: Ghost Towns and Historic Sites of Eureka, Lander, and White Pine Counties
Published in Paperback by Univ of Nevada Pr (December, 1993)
Author: Shawn R. Hall
Average review score:

Informative and well reseached
I have visited Eureka several times since finding out my great grandfather worked in the mines there. Romancing Nevada's Past directed me right to the mining site my great grandfather worked and the book had a picture of the house my grandfather was born in. The information is well written and accurate. I often find myself reading it just for the fun of learning more about Eureka and the surrounding areas.

Excellent ghost town book with great photographs
This is an extremely complete history of the local history which provides detailed directions which are easy to follow. Covers many more sites than any other book on the subject I have seen. Excellent contrast of vintage and modern photos.

These charming and ingenious readers are really helping my daughter read with enjoyment.


Roses
Published in Paperback by Sunset Pub Co (January, 2003)
Authors: Hazel White and Sunset Books
Average review score:

Almost a required book for "budding" rose growers
Along with Ortho's "All About Roses", and HP Books' Roses, How To Select, Grow and Enjoy", this is the backbone of the easy way to learn about roses. As an introduction to some or the "mysteries" about growing roses, this book and the other two mentioned have no equals. The illustrations are great and there are a lot of color photos of rose varieties, making a good picture book as well as a good "How To" book. I think everyone who has an interest in roses will enjoy this book and also the other two mentioned.

This book is wonderful!!!
I carry it with me to the nursery to make my selections. I'm a novice antique rose fancier with some particular geographic/climate needs, and this book makes it easy to determine what will thrive in my yard. There is a picture and detailed description of every rose in the book. The charts also make it easy to search for the right plant by color, flowering frequency, light needs, size, etc. I never shop for roses without carrying along this book.


Sacred Cows are Black & White
Published in Hardcover by Imperial Press (01 May, 2002)
Author: Laci Golos
Average review score:

Sacred Cows are Black & White
Your book reminded me of Ayn Rand. Yet you have the elements of resolution and direction rather than desperation and urgency found in Rand's works.

This morning the light was right. I grabbed my sketchbook and hurried out to quickly capture the tree at my neighbor's lawn. I have been waiting for the right time. It was now! Today's activities shifted in an instant. I would make a few quick sketches then I'd spend the next hour or hours working on the colors and shadows capturing what I saw on paper. Perfect!

The mail came early today. I noticed the book arrived. I quickly opened the package. I read the cover and flyleaf. Sounded interesting. The light outside was changing. So I quickly read the jacket and acknowledgements. I was ready to toss it on the chair - I noticed J.H.Robinson's quote. That was very interesting. So, I sat down and I read the book.

Now as I look out my office window the light has changed - I have read the book three times. The light that attracted me to the tree is gone. Now there is another light shining in Heber City, Utah - a different light. A light of insight. I found it in this book.

Thank-you Laci Golos.

Fiction With a Twist
This book was so interesting that I read it twice. It was an intriguing read and I didn't want the story to end. I don't normally read fiction. In fact, the last fiction books that I read were written by Ayn Rand. This book has that flavor to it.

If you dare to have an open mind, this fictional book has a lot of truth to it. I particularly enjoyed pages 102-112.

I would highly recommend this book to everyone.
