Road to the Stilt House is an excellent novel written within the naturalist tradition. The gritty novel is written in a terse, pithy poetic style that suits Richards' relentless investigation of the social and moral consequences of poverty. Richards' sense of indignation at the arm of the state is at its most palpable and effective. Though often neglected, this novel is one of the best to come out of the Maritime Provinces and must be dealt with in any comprehensive theory of Canadian Literature.

This book contains short stories from some of the greatest minds in SF, Including a Dorsi novela that appears no where else. Quite simply a must for all warriors of the future.

This book was spectacularly well-researched. I learned more from reading it--and came away with more amusing anecdotes to tell my friends-- than I have from my eleven years of subscribing to Rolling Stone. The author really knows what he's talking about.

this is not the type of book where the women go running through the forest in high heels. It is well written with strong, intelligent, and realistic characters. I fell in love with Sin the minute he came into view. And, I do mean view..it is written so well you can actually see him. great book looking for more. Faye...where are you?

This book very quickly introduced me to Rumi whom I now consider one of the great spiritual teachers in my life. He loved God so deeply and his words exude this love in a way which is infectious. Helminski has done a great job of breaking out small fragments from the larger body of Rumi's work and has presented them in a format for easy assimilation. Each bite-sized piece though, is extremely profound and capable of capturing the attention for a lifetime of purposeful remembering. I never feel bored with Rumi's writings and refer to his words often to find that spiritual refreshment to make it through, what would otherwise be, trying days. Helminski's translation seems superior to other translations I have read of Rumi's words. Though I'm not capable of comparing it to the orignal, Helminski's translations sing for me like no others do. A most rewarding book and now a valued frequent companion for me.

Incredible telling of how thoughtless people, especially those in government, constantly seek to destroy beauty simplely because they can't be bothered to make the effort to understand anything more complex than a pet rock. This time the target is the historic beauty of Bath, England. I currently have a front row seat to the sack of Savannah, Georgia by the ignorant and the self-absorbed. Just more proof that if we don't learn history's lessons we are doomed to the whims of the clever and the determined. The pictures are fantastic!

If you`ve got to get a present for someone`s birthday, Christmas, whatever, they will really enjoy this book. ...this book delivers on every level. Even someone who has never been interested in the Games will find this book completely awinspiring. Definitely the number one piece of memorabilia for our go at the Winter Olympics.

If you are involved in any way with setting up the church for Mass and if you work in the Sacirsty this manual is a God send!

There is a good history of the sacristy, excellent directions and guidance for each celebration, and it is well prepared.

In this book, John C. Miller gives an excellent account of a man who served the cause of revolution from England - but at a high cost. Miller paints a view of Adams and some of his contemporaries as nothing more than trouble makers with a genius for propaganda. He gives the most balanced view of these times of almost any account I have read of the American Revolution. This is not a book for the sqeamish. I don't think he takes a revisionist viewpoint, but he certainly gives cause to reconsider the motives of Sam Adams, Otis, and others. Any writer talented enough to do that, not obscure the facts, and keep you entertained deserves a thoughtful read. Highly recommend. Even though out of print - it really shouldn't be. It is a classic.
