Spirituality and Religion in Counseling and Psychotherapy: Diversity in Theory and Practice
Published in Paperback by Amer Counseling Assn (July, 1995)
Author: Eugene W., Jr. Kelly
Average review score:

Very helpful for practitioners
Therapists have tended to shy away from religious issues, between a combination of outright hostility towards religion and a confusion of how to deal with it if a more sympathetic view is taken. This book provides a solid groundwork for the practitioner who is interested in adding a spiritual dimension to her counseling efforts.


Standing Against Dragons: Three Southern Lawyers in an Era of Fear
Published in Hardcover by Louisiana State University Press (October, 1998)
Author: Sarah Hart Brown
Average review score:

Intriguing, Educational essay on the practice of law 1940-60
This book was very enlightening and insightful on the practice of law in the 40's, 50's and 60's. It brought to life an era of controversy and injustice within an evolving America. It helps to explain these disruptive years of anti-communism and racial injustice amid the political struggles of a partisan society.

A "Must-have" Reference for Corn or Starch Processors
The book is an excellent collaborative effort among experts in the field. It brings all their varied experiences together into one source of technical information and experience. The book should be considered to be a Reference work. The material is broken into concise chapters with excellent indexing to topics. The information presented within each chapter is well-referenced to works by others within industry and acedemia.

Stopping Time: The Photographs of Harold Edgerton
Published in Hardcover by Harry N Abrams (October, 1987)
Authors: Estelle Jussim, Gus Kayafas, and Gus Hayafas
Average review score:

Fascinating photos
Many of these photos were familiar to me but I'd not realized all originated with the same person. The book is vaguely grouped into sports shots, everyday item shots, bullet shots, and high-tech science shots with other various photos strewn about.

I found the commentary on individual pictures to be informative and interesting. The introduction, however, seemed to wander into an essay about art movements in the mid-1900s and didn't provide information I wanted to know.

Overall this is a fascinating work to flip through.


Submersible Vehicle Systems Design
Published in Hardcover by Society of Naval Architects & (August, 1990)
Author: E. Eugene Allmendinger
Average review score:

A good book
This book gives you a good starting point in designing and building your own submersible. Some subjects covered in depth, others you will need to do a lot of work.


The Swiftly Tilting Worlds of Madeleine L'Engle (Wheaton Literary Series)
Published in Paperback by Harold Shaw Pub (March, 2000)
Authors: Luci Shaw, Eugene H. Peterson, and Katherine Paterson
Average review score:

A Welcome Addition to Your Madeleine L'Engle Collection
Readers expecting to find prose dedicated to the praise of Ms. L'Engle will find themselves disappointed with this volume published in her honor -- at first. The essays found here are loving tributes to both Ms. L'Engle and the Ether she captures so elegantly in each of her books. Authors as diverse as Thomas Cahill (How the Irish Saved Civilization) and Katherine Paterson (Jacob Have I Loved) prove L'Engle's talent reaches out to a diverse set of writers with myriad effects. This volume is as much a tribute to the contributors as it is to Ms. L'Engle.


Tales from the Poorhouse
Published in Hardcover by Dufour Editions (31 January, 2000)
Authors: Eugene McCabe and McCabe Eugene
Average review score:

How do you humanise an unspeakable national horror?
This is an important, harrowing and beautiful book. Important, because it takes an historical event that has been abstracted by ideologues - the Great Famine - and restores its humanity. Harrowing because of the descriptions of this disaster, not of its social or political importance, but the way it effected families and destroyed the land, creating a tangible atmosphere of death. It is (perversely?) beautiful because, like all McCabe works, it is alive to the harsh beauty of nature, and also because the four speakers of these monologues try to order the horrors by telling stories, full of excuses, self-delusion and bitter hatred, but also nostalgia, revelation and epiphany. The book works by taking stock figures from the Famine - the Orphan, the Landlord, etc. - and making them compellingly human and complex, not bogeymen.


Talmadge: A Political Legacy, a Politician's Life: A Memoir
Published in Hardcover by Peachtree Publishers (October, 1987)
Authors: Herman E. Talmadge and Mark Royden Winchell
Average review score:

Funny, self-deprecating, mostly honest.
Georgia Sen. Herman Talmadge's father, Gov. Eugene Talmadge, was one of the all-time political personalities, and Herman does a fine job bringing his father's appeal and his own political apprenticeship to life. He also does quite a fine job recounting the Senate Watergate committee from the inside. One might wish, though, that he'd been a little more transparent in his account of his long-term, energetic resistance -- first as governor, then as U.S. senator -- to _Brown v. the Board of Education of Topeka, KS_ and its progeny. The book is full of laughs, but is typical of memoirs in omitting the least appealing aspects of its subject's career.
