Edgar Cayce on Religion and Psychic Experience
Published in Paperback by Warner Books (April, 1988)
Authors: Harmon Hartzell Bro and Hugh L. Cayce
Average review score:

LIFE CHANGING BOOK
I wasn't particularly interested in "psychic" experience or even religion when I came across this book at a used book store, but the presentation in such a lyrical manner of how life can be lived with more quality, kindness, and depth leaps from the pages into your heart and changes your life. I buy every copy of this book I can find and give it to those I care about. On any page you open it to, there are marvelous thoughts for understanding the process of life and getting your spirit lifted. This book makes me wish I had the privilege of knowing the author, what a remarkable soul he must be!

A Field Guide to North American Birders: A Parody
Published in Paperback by Berkley Pub Group (10 April, 2001)
Author: Margaret Harmon
Average review score:

Add This To Your Life List!
Margaret Harmon's new book is fun and informative, and helped this birder finally identify himself (and add himself to his own Life List!). Birders of all experience levels will find themselves and their fellow birders here, and will take delight in each new sighting and positive identification they make. Written and illustrated like a "real" bird guide, this book gives our feathered friends everything they need to identify we humans by our field marks, calls, habitat, and other characteristics. I'll never again wonder why the birds I watch are watching me back - they must be using this book to identify me! Delightful!


Fire Mountain
Published in CD-ROM by Alternate Books (01 August, 2000)
Author: Rosemarie Harmon
Average review score:

Fire Mountain review
Fire Mountain is for all us romantics who crave thrills & chills. Ms. Harmon's interplay of genre is nothing short of masterful. Harmon has turned that trying time between a change of scenery and finally arriving at the mountaintop into magic--a "can't put down tale" of found love and avarice, and all among the tall trees and vineyards of Oregon's west slope.


Flavors of Tuscany: Traditional Recipes from the Tuscan Countryside
Published in Hardcover by Broadway Books (June, 1998)
Author: Nancy Harmon Jenkins
Average review score:

Literature among Cookbooks
There are a couple of genre whose excesses are apparent. One is cookbooks, the other is books about Tuscany. Indeed the very word Tuscany seems to have inspired dishware, linens; the list goes on. Given this plethora, it is a genuine delight to read this (or any) book by Nancy Harmon Jenkins. She not only serves up the greatest recipes, which is expected of any cookbook worth its salt, but her writing is charming and most intelligent. This is one book which not only gives the Flavors of Tuscany, but its people, its customs...its reality! Ms. Jenkins surpasses the usual and customary in food writing, she is a social historian who uses food to instill a genuine reality. Great food, even a better read!


The Great Radio Heroes
Published in Paperback by McFarland & Company (February, 2001)
Authors: Jim Harmon, Frank Bresee, and Richard A. Lupoff
Average review score:

A Great update about Great Radio Heroes
If you are a fan of oldtime radio you need this book in your collection. It is an update on Harmon's 1967 book of the same title and is indeed a far superior volume as I have both. From The Shadow to The Lone Ranger most of our old favorites are in there along with photos and inside details that will fascinate you. The price is a bit steep but well worth it. You will not be disappointed.


Higher Creativity: Liberating the Unconscious for Breakthrough Insights
Published in Paperback by J. P. Tarcher (December, 1984)
Authors: Willis W., Ph.D. Harman, Willis W. Harmon, and Howard Rheingold
Average review score:

Our biases keep us from reading books like this
I have not finished this book, but I have about 3 hours invested in it. It's message had an impact in my state of mind that gave me a sense of optimism as to what is possible if we can learn to treat our bodies and our mind as a resource we have learned to keep under tight control. The message really gets down to why are we not creative, and if you can learn this, you can understand how the exercises he gives can lead to higher levels of creativity, not just when you want to be more creative, but throughout the day.

The word Unconscious is key to this book. As such, one see's this book written close to two decades ago, has no reviews, and sells used for half the cost of shipping. The author Harman has written other powerful books with major heavyweight authors who admire him (e.g. Margret Wheatley). The reality is, people do not take serious their ability to have any impact on their Unconsious thoughts, or that if they could, why bother.

I bought this book years ago, and it did not stick. After reading the book Power of Now, this book has found its mark with me. This is a book that fundamentally is about how to create a mindset that will enable you to not only accomplish more, but become fulfilled with a sense of your own potential.

I would not buy this book if you are skeptical about one's own Unconsiousness, that exploring that area is too illusive to try.

The content about Rene Descartes alone is worth the reading. He uses his story to tell us what we can do today. It is in Chapter 3 "Looking Where the Light Is" subsection "The Man Who Dreamed Up Science". I had no idea how Rene had accomplished what he did, but this book tells the reader the man knew. Yet those who write of Rene tell us the Rene was overtired when he used these so-called methods, and they were not real. "The Taboo Against Inner Knowing" explains why no one pays atttention to these approaches today. I guess that is why no one will likely ever read this review - and people will be able to buy to book used for less that a dollar.


Indians in the Making: Ethnic Relations and Indian Identities around Puget Sound (American Crossroads)
Published in Paperback by University of California Press (04 September, 2000)
Author: Alexandra Harmon
Average review score:

An important contribution to Native studies
Dr. Harmon has written a wonderfully crafted work which will be important for future historians of the Pacific Northwest. The story is quite simply about the history of Indian people in the Puget Sound area. Unfortunately, after reading this book, you will no longer see the history of Puget Sound tribes as simple. The history is very complex as the Native peoples and the white explorerers and settlers try to distinguish themselves from each other. In the beginning, George Vancouver could draw a line in the sand to separate the races. It only went downhill from that point especially as the number of interracial marriages began to increase. Who is eligible to be a tribal member? Who can live on the reservation? Are the Indians who live off the reservation truly "Indian"? These are a few of the numerous questions that are raised in this book.

Dr. Harmon has presented a thorough and carefully written work. I would highly recommend it to any student of PNW history or indigenous history buffs. Future historians will have a new benchmark to base their works on. Dr. Harmon provides a wonderful bibliography which is rich with information. This book deserves a home in your library.
