My 4 year-old grandson can't get enough of this book. Up to date about Pueblo Indians of New Mexico and pottery making.

Excellent book. This is not your ordinary, boring history of Mexico book. The reading flows very well. Learn everything: from the beginning of Cortez to Porfirio Diaz to Carlos Salinas. It will amaze you on how much information on Mexico they place in a 480+ page book. Great for history buffs like me

Una excelente reflexión de porque los mexicanos somos como somos... Polibio de Arcadia es el seudónimo que utiliza el escritor dandole un significado extra.

I started this book because of school, usualy i dont like required reading but this time we got to pick any historical non-fiction. I really would recommend this book to anyone who likes mystery books with a good plot. It really represents the old type of japanese culture that many people misjudge. Over all, i give it 5 stars

Claudio Naranjo heads a gathering of 9 therapists, each representing a unique point on the Enneagram, who come together with the express purpose of seeing how they each relate to one another. They submit themselves to this process, sharing anecdotes of professional relationships with clients, in order to grow in understanding as to how they might better help their clients heal. They also perform various exercises in smaller group settings to gather data from first-hand experiences.

This book is from a time before the Enneagram became widely popularized in the mainstream self-help movement. It is a captivating read because this sort of information is just not found these days. And the format was original, as well, in that it was mostly conversation style. Each therapist had a turn to speak about their experience of each type, and it is not just their words, but their way of speaking that informs the reader. One can see "type-in-action".

This book comes highly recommended for those who wish to understand how to employ the enneagram therapeutically, to help others and not just themselves. Gratefully, there is no suggestion of quick cures, and preferred remedies, only the meat of personal experience coupled with the wish to help and grow with others and some insightful commentaries by Naranjo. Those already well-versed in therapeutic modalities are likely to find that the information in this book helps tie up many ends left loose in university-style teachings.

This review was written with the idea that the reader would already be acquainted with the basics of the Enneagram study. While I do not recommend this book as an introduction to Enneagram, I believe that it would serve nicely as supportive material for any interested. I say this specifically because modern day books, while full of potentially useful information, are of the 'talking at you' style which impacts the reader primarily in his intellectual center. The book in review, once again, has a conversational style to it and this will have the effect of impacting the reader emotionally. You must see for yourself.

Good luck. I hope this helped.

ps. I believe myself to be an evolving 7w6.

I would like to say that Elizabeth Martinez did a great job in putting this book together. I feel every chicano/a should read this, it really is very in depth about our Raza. Every member of the U.U.C (united unknown chicano's and chicana's) has read this book, and now the U.U.C uses 500 years of chicano history as a text book teaching the mexica community there Raza thank you.

Four Corners is a romantic novel written in third person. Judicious uses of slang, informal language, and potent visual imagery help to achieve a consistently romantic tone. Passages such as the one below and others set in Washington, DC and the Southwest illustrate this well. The gray-bearded driver nodded a greeting and opened the back door. "Wheah you goin', lady?" "The Chickawaukie Nursing home." "Youah not from around heah." It was a statement not a question. "I'll give you the scenic touah." As the cab passed the harbor crowded with boats, Anna saw the lobstermen in their yellow slickers sitting on their rope lockers, Winslow Homer foul-weather helmets covering their heads. They were staring out to sea. Their green vinyl-coated-wire lobster traps with their lines attached to their family's distinctively-painted wooden floats, were neatly stacked, waiting, begging to be baited and dropped into the ocean there to lure and capture their soft and hard shell prey. "No fishing today?" "Nope, see over theah? The entrance to the hahbah is blocked by the Coast Guard." Aside from illustrating the effective use of nonstandard language and visual imagery, the last sentence in this passage also introduces a passage that raises questions about issues such as cultural preservation and economic development. There is a continuous undercurrent of philosophical, political, and social issues that ebb and flow throughout the story. This is a distinctive characteristic of the manuscript that truly sets it apart from other works. Not only do the authors smoothly introduce these themes, but they do so in way that is both thought-provoking and inoffensive. Other highlighted subjects in the manuscript are investigative journalism, family values, the mass media, and the search for truth. Plot structure and characterization are skillfully handled. The basic plot is realistic. Events unfold in an orderly fashion that does not confuse the reader. Instead, effective use of subtle innuendoes and ambiguous statements tease the reader and keep him guessing about what turn of events will occur next. The climax is dramatic and in the end differences are reconciled and balance is restored to the world of Four Corners. Each character is precisely developed to carry out his role. There is a well-accented contrast between the main characters. Worthington is a champion of economic development; Anna a champion of cultural preservation. Important moral and psychological differences also exist between the two. Anna is depicted as promiscuous and somewhat unstable; Worthington is a model family man who generally keeps his troubled past in check. Symbolically the two are Yin and Yang. Their eventual union symbolizes the balance of opposing forces. Other characters such as Emily, Popé, and Dusty not only support the main characters, but, also act as symbols. Popé, Anna and Worthington's love child, is a symbol of hope for the future. Though romance readers are the most obvious target for this book, those interested in the behavioral sciences may enjoy this work as a refreshing, light alternative to the relatively dry works available on these subjects.
