Perfect Pies

Authors: Beth Allen and Beth Galton
Average review score:

Great Pictures!
I really liked this book. I think that this book is very well organized. I was also impressed with how thorough the book is. There is a graph that shows you what crusts would taste good with different types of pies, ie for a Custard or Cream Pie the crusts that would be good are a Snickerdoodle Cookie Crust or a Buttery Crust or a Cream Cheese Pastry... There are so many delicious looking pictures it is hard to decide which pie to make. The recipies are easy to follow and uses easy to find ingredients. I made the Peanut Butter Pie and the Chocolate Silk Pie. They both were really good!

Philadelphia Stories - A Wonderful Photo Journey !
Philadelphia Stories is an outstanding photo-journal chronicling the years 1920 through 1960; the photos are excellent and really took me back to my childhood days through Port Richmond, Kensington, Juniata and Frankford! A "Must-Read" for anyone interested in Philadelphia History or just to Stroll down Memory Lane. Thoroughly enjoyable - I was thrilled to find this terrific book at Amazon.com !


Philosophy for Understanding Theology
Published in Paperback by John Knox Pr (July, 1985)
Author: Diogenes Allen
Average review score:

great overview of philisophical history
It's about time! A book that brings together the great minds of philosophical thought and their theologies in a cronologically ordered system. This is a great resource for those interested in this field. It logically brings together a history of thought from Plato to Satre and explores in a way that is not over the abilities of most college graduates. I recommend this book for those who want to put together these two disciplines in a historical context but not to the depth of reading all of the original authors. Some prior reading of the classic works in philosophy and theology is recommended in order to be able to fully utilize this resource.


Pilot from the Prairie
Published in Paperback by Hara Publishing (15 August, 2001)
Author: Edgar J. Allen
Average review score:

The critical importance of courage and keeping one's cool
Pilot From The Prairie is the personal memoir of Edgar Allen, a World War II bomber pilot. Edgar memorably relates the danger and horror of war, and the critical importance of courage and keeping one's cool to survive in the midst of dangerously lethal situations. A raw and vivid account that pulls no punches and makes the reader feel what it was really like to survive the thick of devastating war, Pilot From The Prairie is a welcome and highly recommended contribution to the growing library of World War II autobiographical accounts -- which is all the more appreciated as that generation of men and women leaves us through the inevitable passage of the years.


Plain Tales from the Raj
Published in Paperback by Henry Holt & Company, Inc. (October, 1985)
Author: Charles Allen
Average review score:

British India by those who lived it.
Charles Allen's collection of stories about the British Raj in India by those who lived it is a wonderful insight into an often turbulent period of both British and Indian history. With first-hand accounts by the men an women who were a part of the Raj, Allen presents us with a kalidescope of exactly how it was in India in the early part of the 20th century. Whilst many of the eyewitnesses offer a typical British upper class view, there are wonderful descriptions of everyday life in village India. We are also presented with a glimpse of the moral standards of those who lived in the hill stations during the hot Indian summer and one can only surmise that with the passing of time, not much has changed. Kipling would have been proud of this broad panoramic view of the land he loved and wrote about with such affection. The cassette version is a sheer delight and is worth more than one listening. A must for any Indiophile or lover of Kipling.


Planet News, 1961-1967
Published in Paperback by City Lights Books (June, 1971)
Author: Allen Ginsberg
Average review score:

"to be meek, alone, beside a big dark lake at night -"
It really pays to read Allen Ginsberg in the original City Lights Pocket Poets series. Each one has the special flavor of its cultural period in America. Planet News traces Allen's transformation from weary Fifties beat figure (1961)to his flowering as the bearded, iconic hippie prophet in the Uncle Sam hat (1967). Allen Ginsberg, Superstar.

Allen is approaching Forty as Kennedy is killed & the old, leftist folkie beat scene gets K.O.'d by the One-Two punches of The Beatles & Dylan Electrified. So, A.G. brings it all back home, "Here at the atomic crack-end of Time XX Century..."

Of the several small epics within Planet News, "Wichita Vortex Sutra" is the Ace. This long plane flight - actually one section of an infinitely long spin toward the Event Horizon - brings us face-to-face with the Vietnam Apocalypse & the growing cancer on America's soul, to be continued in the Fall of America.

But the beauty-soul of Planet News is found in the shorter poems: the lovely "Galilee Shore;" "Big Beat" & "Portland Coliseum," where The Beatles astonish him, no easy feat; The legendary "First Party at Ken Kesey's with Hell's Angels," Allen doesn't seem terribly impressed; Crowned the "Kral Majales" in the short Prague springtime; "Death News" of his friend, William Carlos Williams; Waking up the Royal Albert Hall crowd with "Who Be Kind To," can you envision Marianne Faithful? & let us not overlook "Patna-Benares Express," "I Am A Victim of the Telephone" & especially "Why is God Love, Jack?" Yes, that Jack.

At last, "The Pentagon Exorcism: "Pentagon awake from planet-sleep!" & of course it never has from that day to this. But it did rise ten feet off the ground & spin like some nauseating carnival ride. At least, that's what I heard. Beautiful thing.

The Playful Way to Knowing Yourself : A Creative Workbook to Inspire Self-Discovery
Published in Paperback by Mariner Books (April, 2003)
Author: Roberta Allen
Average review score:

Inviting a Deeper Connection to Ourselves and to the World
"Robert Allen's creative and evocative synthesis of photo art and writing is a wonderful invitation to increasing self-awareness. The book not only engages, but includes readers in its process of completion on blank pages upon which to write ourselves into her book. Through photographs and evocative questions, Allen shows the way to a deeper connection to ourselves as well as the world around us. THE PLAYFUL WAY TO KNOWING YOURSELF provides us with a highly individual process in which we get out of it as much as we give."

From a review by Heidi Rain appearing in the May-June issue of SPIRIT OF CHANGE magazine.
