This book was written so well that I had a hard time remembering who the author really was. I could relate to Horace and his hungar for acceptance, not from the ones who were closest to him, but the mystery of newness, the mystery of who he really was. The character is simple, yet fascinating in the way he incorporates his writing into his life, creating ideas as he journeys into something he feels so compelled to solve. I could relate to his thoughts and his ways of expressing his passions. We never really know what will happen next in our lives, at any age, life ends when we choose to stop living. Cast in Doubt was an interesting reminder to keep searching within myself, you never know where excitement lies. That is my simple review.

Hildegard of Bingen was a twelfth-century Benedictine Christian theologian, mystic, poet, healer, and musician who left an enormous body of writings representing a legacy of spiritual insights that continues to be read today. In The Creative Spirit: Harmonious Living With Hildegard Of Bingen, June Boyce-Tillman presents a superbly written introduction to a woman who was the first female whose writings were approved for publication by the Pope; one of the first women to have her music written down for her contemporaries and posterity; and the first science writer to ever put pen to paper on the subject of childbirth and women's sexuality. The Creative Spirit explores the life and thought of this remarkable woman as well as providing practical spiritual exercises based on Hildegard's ideas and concepts for brining wholeness, wisdom and healing to a busy, fragmented, modern life. Highly recommended.

This book reveals the greatness of this plane that was developed before the war and the amazing feats that was accomplished with it and the men who flew them.Often used successfully as a fighter against the Japanese Air Force.This plane built by Douglas Aviation Co along with the Grumman F4F Wild cat kept us in the battle the 1st year of the war until more modern planes were produced, Having flown many hours of patroling as a crew member in this plane I can vouch for it's authenticity.An excellent and well written book.

John Lyle continues his seminal work presented in "Regenerative Design for Sustainable Development". Any one interested in designing deep structures of urban spaces into sustainable environments would benefit greatly from reading this book. This book also covers rural development as well. Propagation of water flows for maximum beneficial inter-relationships is one particula r topic of interest for me.

I highly recommend this book!

No one plumbs the deeps of faith more illuminatingly than John Henry Newman, and in these fifteen sermons he affirms the dignity of our state with an eloquence and conviction that place him in the very first rank of Catholic apologists.

Pounce, gentle reader.

Young idealists beware. That oblivious balding guy-the one with the sad little ponytail and thecell phone stuck to his ear who just cut you off inhis $50,000 SUV-used to be a hippie. He used to stay up all night tripping, talking about free love and overthrowing the military/industrial complex. The closest he gets to free love now is the 60 hours a week he spends at his job, with his face planted firmly between the arse cheeks of The Man. Any of us could be next, if we're not careful.

So it went for Harry Lascome in Finding Woodstock. He's a mild, unnoticed man who, at his wife Beth's prodding, moves his family to the suburbs over the protests of their two unhappy kids. His life begins to slip off the tracks when Beth runs off to San Francisco with another suburban housewife to explore some free love of their own. In rapid succession, Harry loses his job and is preparing to move with his kids back to the city (sans wife), when he learns that he stands to inherit $8 million, provided he lives in a rickety Catskills farmhouse and takes care of a deceased client's cat for one year.

Once there Harry finds that his only neighbors are the remnants of a '60s commune, reduced to two people, Moon Crater and his daughter Moon Light. Odd though they seem at first, over time Harry finds that it's his old life that has taken on an otherworldliness in his mind; it's the suburbs that seem surreal from the vantage point of the quiet winter woods.

Built on a foundation of black humor a la Kurt Vonnegut and generously underpinned with jabs at the slow strangulation of life in the suburbs, Tillman's book amuses without giving up any of its pointed barbs. Finding Woodstock is an excellent read for those of us who wonder how anyone who lives in a $300,000 house in a lily-white, economically gated community can justify calling themselves a liberal. And it's a call to action - or a requiem - for any aging boomers out there who might still have a nagging ghost of a recollection of all they gave up when they started moving on up. -Kurt J.

What a hidden gem. I've heard that about half of these are staged and half are the real thing. The more time I spend with the images, stepping back, letting all the corners flow into my retina, the more i don't care.

This is beauty? This is men dying...just a little...and so glad to be making the exchange.

The dog's eyes, the oxygen tubes, the hair on the head and everywhere else.

A perfect companion to Annie Liebowitz's Women.

This book covers a variety of health topics providing excellent activities and worksheets for students. These activities are presented in an interesting and fun manner, thus increasing learning. The book is also a wonderful resource for beginning teachers (or even experienced teachers) who may need a little extra help finding lessons (or want lessons) that are creative, fun, and beneficial to promoting learning.

I read almost every book on the history of underwater exploration that is released, but this one was one that I couldn't put down. The author was part of or witness to some of the greatest moments in diving history and he tells abount them and some of the simpler moments with both humor and outstanding detail. I don't back as far as Albert Tillman does, but I can remember well the days when we were making equipment in our garages. It gave me great pleasure to see that even famous divers like Mr. Tillman have done some of the same stupid things that I did. One chapter of the book of particular interest was that short biographies of personal moments that he shared with other famous divers (not to mention famous actors, astronauts, and royalty). I would rate this book right up there with the adventure stories of Cousteau and Hass.

This is a little known classic in Tillman's work, a collection of her essays written from the point of view of the character "Madame Realism," often for Art in America magazine. Madame Realism is one of my favorites among Tillman's characters; she's a little bit like a wise grandmother who goes to art museums and comments about the work she sees there. There's more to these pieces than the seemingly funny views of a quirky observer, however, although even that would be enough. Tillman, who really knows her theory, makes many complex notions about art and its reception easily accessible in these very humorous pieces. I used one of the essays in a college course I teach on "writing for the arts" and the students really loved it.
