This honest and shocking book recounts the true story,in their own words,of two Tibetans imprisoned by the occupying Chinese. Ama Adhe's story is perhaps the most shocking and disturbing account in this well written book. An ordinary Tibetan woman who commited the "crime" of being related to a Tibetan freedom fighter, she recounts her early years in the then free Tibet and offers a fascinating insight into a lost world. She details the brutal Chinese Gulag, and details the systematic starvation,(and the attendant cannabalism)torture, execution and rape she encountered there. Her survival was reliant on both luck and the attentions of a Chinese doctor who did not approve of what the Communist authorities were doing. A truly harrowing account from one lucky enough to survive and escape to bear witness.

Tenpa Soepa's account is hardly any less disturbing. A Tibetan government official he was intimately involved in the flight of the Dali Lama. Because of this he was selected for special treatment by the Chinese and endured several years in a prison in China along with seventy four others; twenty two and a half suvived. It is hard to understand how one reduced to cannabalism can relate his story so honestly. His story proves that the Tibetans did not meekly submit to Chinese rule as some may erroneously believe, but fought courageously against overwhelming odds in the face of almost certain death. Tenpa Soepa's survival is down to the fact that a fellow inmate and friend chose to commit suicide rather than implicate him in an escape plot. "Greater love hath no man......."

This is an important book. Witness to the destruction and genocide of a nation it is a searing testament of man's inhumanity to man and a humbling book to read. It should be required reading in the schools system, to stand as a warning of what happens when humanity is subjugated to ideology, and the consequences of the loss of humanity. "I was only following orders..." Read it and weep.

The book is well written and has good pace. The The true stories of two Tibettan lives, largely imprisoned, at the hands of the Chinese is an important historical document and a sad testament to human cruelty. I highly recommend this book as background to travelers and for those interested in the plight of Tibet.

A clear, straight-foreward outline of what healing prayer is and, perhaps more importantly, what it is not. The examples are clear. The text is articulately written and easily understood. It is meant to promote the use of prayer, espcially healing prayer as a part of daily experiences. It gives clear guidelines for helping those in need and how to be a good listener and how to allow God to enter the situation on HIS agenda, not the pray-er. I THOROUGHLY recommend this book.

This book brought a turnabout to my thinking about healing and health and prayer. A friend gave the book to me after a long conversation about prayer and the television preachers who wave their hands and magically heal people. I still don't think much of those charlatans on television, but the book by Norberg and Webber talks about healing in a variety of ways, the least as physical. They write about emotional and spiritual and relational healing, something God knows that we need. They write a chapter that seemed to come from the Sixties, but seems appropriate today, about healing institutions--exorcising them of the evil powers they have. (Reminded me of a protest during Vietnam when the Pentagon was exorcised. But that's not part of this book.) This book is fully based on the Bible. The authors explore texts to help us understand the biblical world as well as the contemporary one and the way healing was understood then and can be understood today. A fine book!

Sun Circles and Human Hands is simply the finest book ever written concerning the archeology and general material culture of the Southeastern Native American Indian. No serious book collection concerning the Native American Indian could be considered complete without containing a copy of this monumental work.

This is a book of pictures with descriptions by colonial writers and well-known authorities. It depicts the art, craftsmenship and life of the Southeastern Indians. This is an excellent book which deserves the attention of anyone interested in archaeology or Indians of the Southeastern US. It portrays in sequence the four major Southeastern culture pds. - the Paleo, Archaic, Woodland, and Mississippi.

I have explored many resouces for a good example of how to design and utilize a cartoon. Ms. Harvey gave wonderful examples and a variety of ways to use the cartoon from design to final product. It was most helpful for a Jack loom weaver.

Must have for the "designing" weaver.

Before buying this book, I checked a number of tapestry books out of the library. I found this book to be the only tapestry weaving book that gave clear instructions. I also appreciated the simple explanations given by Harvey for the reasons for performing certain techniques in certain ways thus helping the learner to think in the way of a tapestry artist/craftsperson. At least two other tapestry books left me feeling quite confused but I am very impressed with this book. It begins with equipment information followed by some easy exercises that one can use to build one's technical knowledge on, but the exercises, despite being studies, produce beautiful, 'to be proud of' samplers that anybody would be happy to have on display. Nancy Harvey takes one through a series of tapestry weaving lessons, from these very basic samplers to very beautiful and difficult tapestries. The colour photographs are quite lovely and some actually take the breath away and cause one to be amazed at the creativity of some of the members of the human race.

The Teacher's Right Hand is an educator's dream. It really does have practical, ready to use activities. I refer to this resource several times a week, and my students thoroughly enjoy the teacher-created games. If you are a middle school educator, this book is a must have!

I found this book to be an excellent resource for teachers and parents. This book has numerous activities that can be used either in the classroom or by parents at home. I found each of the activities to be very detailed, outlining the objectives, and needed materials. The book contains numerous reproducible transparencies and worksheets.

This book has helped me to organize my daily instruction and has saved me hours in planning time!!! I also use it at home with my own children. This is an exellent resource and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!

A wonderful, thorough, inspiring book that teaches as it teaches
how to teach

There are photographs of me in this book as a small child. Please buy so that I might become famous.

this book is great for a lesson plan. I found it to be very useful to show how we use our hands. a great learning to tool to teach preschool children.

This book is wonderful for emerging readers & for those children just learning to appreciate symbols of inspiration & empowerment. Children all want to do for themselves & Hope Price's book lets all children know that they can do so many, wonderful & helpful things. The poetry is simple & easy for all to grasp. The illustrations are beautiful. I think that this "big little book" will spark the imagination of children & hopefully get them thinking about the many ways they can contribute to their family, friends & society. My kids loved it. We look forward to more stories from Hope.

This collection has been a long time in coming and it is very much worth the wait. This Scribe will be remembered long after the likes of Henri Cole, Paul Muldoon, Louise Gluck (the list could be reasonably long) disappear beneath the patina of the passe. Here we have some permanent poetry. The School of the Soldier is great literature -- this is the first time I read it. Who knew?

Indeed, Bellit has been a forgotten - or atleast neglected - master of this art. His intricate poems strike us by virtue their enormous depth and move us in ways that few poems can. This collection should be a staple of any serious poetry-lovers collection - a book of poems to read and then read again.

This is a delightful book. The art is fantastic! We have this book on the coffee table and our guests often comment on what an uplifting book it is. In only a few words, Christopher Kimball captures the deepest feelings we have experienced as children and have shared with our children. Mark Keathley's art is wonderful and beautifully illistrates the bright faces, happy smiles and loving, tender hearts of children.

This book is a wonderful book to read and even better is the time spent looking at all the paintings.

The text and pictures combine to relax you and take you to a more peacefull mood than is normal in my life.

First of all, this book is a good look at an African-American activist for peace who preached racial unity long before Martin Luther King was born. Secondly, although this book is about a prominent member of the Bahai Faith and the author (whom I met recently) is a Bahai, the book benefits by being objective about the Bahai Faith as it does not propagandize, but matter-of-factly discusses some of the internal problems within the faith during Mr. Gregory's lifetime. So it's a good read as you see Mr. Gregory's efforts to preach a good message of unity to a country and world that had (and still has) a way to go in accepting. People who are objective about religion will be inspired by Mr. Gregory's story through Ms. Morrison's telling.

"To Move The World" is the fascinating story of the life of Louis Gregory, the son of slaves and one of the first African-American Baha'is. Gayle Morrison places the life of Louis Gregory within the context of the struggle of Black Americans to achieve racial equality and the growth of the Baha'i Faith as an interracial community in North America in the first half of the twentieth century. Gregory, a lawyer, was an eloquent advocate of racial unity and bravely demonstrated that belief in his own life by marrying a white woman at a time when such cohabitation was illegal in many U.S. states. He helped to organize some of the earliest racial unity gatherings held in the U.S. Although Gregory is well known by Baha'is (for example, a Baha'i radio station - WLGI - in Hemingway, S.C. is named for him), his achievements deserve to be recognized more widely. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the struggle for civil rights or Baha'i history.
