These brief yet emotional lyrics convey the author's impressive poetic talents and personal convictions. "Strange spring weather in the middle of winter. / A man opens fire / atop the Empire State; / the mail brings a skeleton of a leaf / from my lover. / The leaf is so quiet and fragile, / can't pin it to the wall with a tack; / it would tear the leaf asunder."

Annabelle Nelson's The Learning Wheel is an insightful and provocative work that links learning preferences with cultural diversity. She uses a wide range of sources from Native American and other ancient cosmologies to Joseph Campbell's work on the collective unconscious to contemporary cognitive psychology and research on the power of different learning modalities to bridge seemingly endless distances between cultures and learning processes.

She accomplishes this by way of her deep-rooted knowledge of the mind and her 5-sectioned learning wheel. Each intelligence (practical, technical, conceptual, creative and expanded) rotating on the wheel builds on the others in non-hierarchical fashion, while elegantly and intuitively demonstrating that more advanced human development and cross-cultural understanding can result once society's institutions catch up with what we know about human intelligence and consciousness. Nelson, a trained PhD. psychologist, takes us well beyond our limited instrumentally rational world and opens up new vistas for educators, organization consultants and anyone committed to advancing human potentiality and understanding.

You just gotta love Lana Lang as Insect Queen!

This collection of letters, by one of South Africa's leading activists, offers a direct view of the experience of a political prisoner during apartheid. Written during the author's 26 years in prison, alongside Nelson Mandela and Walter Sisulu, the books grants the reader the rare chance to grasp the daily hardships these men endured. And yet, given Kathrada's courage, humility and humor, as well as their ultimate political victory, the book is a source of inspiration and hope.

I undertook reading this work during my self improvement phase - to read all the biographies on the shelves at the local library. The Life and Times of James P. Beckworth stands out, years later as the one that had the most impact on me, gave me the most shivers, and remains one that I wish I had stolen for my own collection. I never swiped it, of course, so now I shall buy it.

These accounts, transcribed from James Beckworth's verbal accounts were first published as a series of news accounts to American readers back east who longed to hear news of their flegling nation as it grew. Today, compiled in this work, they account all the romance as well as the day to day life and times of the beaver trapper era in the Rocky Mountain West over a hundred years ago.

Accounts of indian wars and Beckworth's participation on both sides of the conflicts as well as insights into beaver trade, indian life, trapper life, the gold rush and how the west was eventually overtaken by settlers are generously intermingled with personal (and probably exaggerated) accounts of glory and suffering. Herein is the true life account and the likely inspiration for the movie "Little Big Man." Jim Beckworth was living as an indian while avoiding becoming a victim of an army massacre, he was an Army tracker, had many wives, and relates countless adventures amidst the wilderness of the mountains, in peril of natural and human enemy. We can't hope to have the adventures that these mountain men had but we can experience them through books like this.

A can't-put-it-down-'till-finished read!
