Creativity: How to Catch Lightning in a Bottle
Published in Paperback by Peak Pubns (October, 1996)
Authors: George Gamez, Jack Segal, and Elizabeth Ferrant
Average review score:

UNLEASH YOUR HIDDEN POTENTIALS-
THE BOOK HAS HELPED ME A LOT.ITS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.ALL I CAN SAY IS 'YOU ARE ONLY LIMITED BY YOUR IMAGINATION'.READ AND ULEASH YOUR HIDDEN POTENTIIAL AND CREATIVE ABILITIES WHICH ARE ESSENTIAL TOOLS IN THIS COMPETETIVE ERA.ITS SO FAR THE BEST BOOK THAT I HAVE READ ON THE SUBJECT.

Great "How to" Book
Like many people whose daytime activities do not depend on creativity I gravitate to a hobby that requires creativity. But how do you unleash latent creativity? Most of us don't have a clue, and we suppose that whatever creative talent we have will just naturally come out. Dr. Gamez's little book is the best "How to" book I've seen on this subject. I highly recommend it!


Crimes of Passion (Hot Blood Series.)
Published in Paperback by Pocket Books (November, 1997)
Authors: Jeff Gelb, Michael Garrett, and Elizabeth Phillips
Average review score:

Erotic horror so good it's criminal!
Hot Blood: Stranger By Night is Gelb and Garrett's 9th book in the Hot Blood series, but it is by no means stale, or stories you've read before. Where most of the other Hot Blood books sample a variety of erotic horror, this volume leans more towards crime mixed with sex and violence, and probably served as a model for the current Flesh and Blood series.

This volume sports stories from such noted authors as Brian Lumley (Necros), Mike W. Barr (A Real Woman), Jeff Gelb (Tricks or Treat), and Ramsey Campbell (The Limits of Fantasy).

So if you feel like an demonic roller coaster ride into the nights and lows of human depravity, if you want a sexual charge on the way, then get in line to ride the Hot Blood: Crimes of Passion express.

I couldn't wait for this one!
I have read all of the books in this series. However, I was "dying" to read this one, specifically because of Greg Kihn's and Brian Lumley's stories. Kihn mixes horror, erotica and the Summer of Love in the Haight perfectly for his freaky concoction. Brian Lumley did not disappoint either. I can always see what he has written, and he never fails to give me the chills. Of the others: the longer stories will entice you along with a lump in your throat and the shorter ones will surprise you with their twisted endings. A must read for fans of the series (no arm twisting here), and a good one for "beginners". Enjoy.


Cross a Bridge
Published in School & Library Binding by Holiday House (March, 1998)
Authors: Ryan Ann Hunter, Edward Miller, Ed Miller, Elizabeth G. Macalaster, and Pamela D. Greenwood
Average review score:

Children learn of structures in their own backyard.
This book takes the pre-schooler easily through the history and constructions of all types of bridges. As every book should, it encourages the child to look more closely at elements of his/her everyday life and environment. It's great to see non-fiction for children. Great graphic images.

Intelligent, wonderful introduction to bridges for kids
The author truly captivated my child for hours on end with a simple to understand primer on bridge design. The illustrations were magnificent and my daughter can now appreciate the many different types of bridges in her world.


Cultivating Sacred Space: Gardening for the Soul
Published in Hardcover by Pomegranate (January, 1998)
Author: Elizabeth Murray
Average review score:

A great gardening book!
I happened upon this book at a swap meet and purchased it on a whim. It was beautiful and I thought it would make a great "coffee table" book, if anything. I opened it and couldn't put it down! There are 4 "chapters", one for each season. I especially liked the section of the book describing Murray's favorite gardens. I can't tell you how many extra hours a week I've spent in my own garden because of this book. It worked, Elizabeth! Thank you.

Inspiring
I especially liked the "coverage" and photos of the inner-city urban gardens projects in Philadelphia. Ethiopian angels! This book looks at "sacred gardens", old and new, around the world. Also looks at labyrinths and the work of Findhorn and Perelandra, among other things. A beautiful book.


The Curse of Slagfid
Published in Paperback by Del Rey (May, 1989)
Author: Elizabeth H. Boyer
Average review score:

Old school fantasy adventure
The Curse of Slagfid was one of a series of four books published back in the day when Del Rey came out with good fantasy in paperback form on a monthly basis. I'm not sure what happened to Del Rey or Ms. Boyer, since she hasn't came out with anything in a long while that I am aware of, but they don't make 'em like this anymore. This book was simply fun to read. It pleased those of us who enjoy a Tolkien-like quest story without being a knock-off of Tolkien. Boyer utilized Scandinavian myth while still make the story seem human and real. The plot was padded to be sure, but there are wonderful scenes, difficult magical problems to solve, and enough humorous interplay between the characters to keep the reader interested. Leifr, the main hero, is a Luke Skywalker type, in over his head but always up for derring-do and supremely lucky. He receives guidance and headaches in equal measure from Thurid, a self-doubting braggart who starts the series as an incompetent but ends up as a major wizard. What I really enjoyed about Ms. Boyer's works is her treatment of magic. Many fantasy authors treat magic as a mechanism, but she treats it as something organic. In her books, magic is willful, unpredictable,omnipresent, and absolute essential. Suffice to say, if you want a really magical fantasy adventure, you can't go wrong with a book in which the disembodied hand of a wizard is a fully developed character. Fun stuff.

I love Ms. Boyer's ability to weave a story...
I love stories which blend fantasy with myth and legend. Her work is a lot like Tom Deitz and any fan of one should read the other. you won't be disappointed.The story of Leifr and his love Ljosa ia wonderful and this series is well worth the read!


The Dance (Love Stories. Super 11)
Published in Paperback by Skylark (09 November, 1999)
Authors: Craig Hillman, Kieran Scott, and Elizabeth Skurnick
Average review score:

AWESOME!!!
This book is awesome! The only bad thing is that the stories didnt last that long, but it was still awesome! All three stories are great, but my favorite was the first one, Mason & Erin. It was the perfect story. Anyways, it was real great reading about three different couples going to the same dance, and how it was different for all of them. And I also really liked how in each of the stories the same characters from the other stories were talked about (example: Michael & Caroline were in Mason & Erin's story, and vice versa. Also, Serena and David were in all three stories.). Anyways this was a great book, and you should definitelyget it!

Three Awesome Stories
All three of the stories in this book were awesome. The first is about a sophomore trying to get elected "queen" of this dance, just so she can dance once with her brother's best friend, the guy she likes. The second is about 2 class clowns who decide to go in gag outfits, but in a series of mix ups, they go in proper formal wear. The third story is about a foreign exchange student who has to leave the next day and has only this night to get together with the girl he's had a crush on since he got there. All three stories are good, and hilarious! Especially the one about Caroline and Michael, the class clowns. Even if you don't normally go for these kind of books, read this one. It's worth it.


The Darwin Legend
Published in Hardcover by Baker Book House (November, 1994)
Authors: James Moore and Mark A. Noll
Average review score:

Correction to previous review by Brad Krone.
The previous review of THE DARWIN LEGEND written by Brad Krone of Reno praises Mark Noll for doing an excellent job writing this book. The problem is that Noll is not the author. James Moore is the author of this book and deserves the credit.

A MUST-READ for all who want to know the truth!
As a life-long Christian who has heard over and over the famous story of Darwin's deathbed confession of Christianity and denial of evolution, I was overjoyed to find a book on this very topic. Noll is unbelievably objective -- a true reporter doing his job. He never lets his own biases and opinions cloud his presentation of the facts. The insights contained in this book priceless. I have a better understanding of who Darwin was, why so many Christians love to tell the story of his deathbed conversion, and whether or not it is probable that such an event took place. Get this book and read for yourself. The amount of research which Noll has conducted is almost unfathomable. You will not be disappointed!


Daughters of Painted Ladies: America's Resplendent Victorians
Published in Paperback by E P Dutton (November, 1987)
Authors: Elizabeth Pomada, Michael Larsen, and Douglas Keister
Average review score:

A spectacular symphony of color and form
"Daughters of Painted Ladies" is a beautiful tribute to restored Victorian houses from throughout the United States. Full-color photographs by Douglas Keister are complemented by the commentaries of Elizabeth Pomada and Michael Larsen.

The book focuses on what the authors call the "Colorist Movement" in historic house restoration. In other words, every one of the homes pictured has been painted "in three or more contrasting colors" that "bring out the decorative ruffles and flourishes" of each structure. So if your idea of a Victorian home is a dull, gloomy old mansion in a state of disrepair, be prepared to have that stereotype blown away. These "painted ladies" are some of the most vibrant and beautiful homes I have ever seen.

The book captures many different Victorian era styles: Italianate, Second Empire, Steamboat Gothic, Queen Anne, Octagon, Stick, and Victorian eclectic. And don't miss the special appearance by "Lucy," the elephant-shaped house built by James Lafferty. The colorist approach to these homes truly accentuates the varied vocabulary of Victorian architecture, with its towers, covered verandas, neoclassical pillars, oriel windows, decorated verge boards, and other fanciful details.

The book concludes with some helpful tips and resources for those interested in creating their own painted lady. If you are a lover of Victorian era architecture, buy this spectacular book and prepare to indulge in a decadent symphony of visual splendor.

it change my home style
After I read and enjoyed this beautiful book I painted my home in Victorian style and soon many houses in Ushuaia Tierra del Fuego Argentina, also change the "white walls, black roof" they ever were.Thanks! Virgini


DAW 30th Anniversary Science Fiction Anthology
Published in Hardcover by DAW Books (07 May, 2002)
Authors: Elizabeth R. Wollheim, Sheila E. Gilbert, and Betsy Wollheim
Average review score:

none
DAW has been a major player and publisher in bring SF and Fantasy to fans around the world, and they've given us some of the best names in both of those fields, and to celebrate it's 30th anniversary, DAW gives readers two massive volumes of original stories by the likes of Tad Williams, Andre Norton, Brian Aldiss and 34 others. This is a must have on the shelves of SF and Fantasy fans around the globe... Gary S. Potter Author/Poet.

Excellent SF anthology
Over thirty years Donald A. Wollheim had a vision of a home for speculative fiction writers and fans so he created Daw. Over the next three decades, Daw has published some of the best fantasy and science fiction works in the business. If this review sounds like déjà vu, it is because this collection easily matches the high quality bar of its sister anthology, 30TH ANNIVERSARY DAW FANTASY. This collection, 30TH ANNIVERSARY DAW SCIENCE FICTION, also provides strong stories that run the gamut of the genre from some of the more renowned writers to the future stars. Once again, the stories pay homage to the company, but the contributors including the editors pay deference to the deceased founding father. Each tale is new, but more important, it is well written as if each writer understood who they really honor with this collection. Fans of science fiction will enjoy the tales, but also the short introductory blurb that each author adds about Mr. Wollheim. Great short storybook worth reading as much as its fantasy companion.
