I read this book with a skeptical eye. After all, so many people talk about "energy" but don't teach anything useful.

Henderson seems to be the exception. Her very clear exercises teach about energy, how it interacts with the body, how it defines our boundaries, and how it permits us to merge with others or to maintain a space of our own.

The book was so good I sought her out. I learned genuinely useful and compassionate energy work from her, and each lesson made me realize how much of her knowledge she has put in this book. This is American Tantra, taught by a woman who knows it.

This is the account of Lydia, one of the apostle Paul's first converts. I think that this is the only book by this author that takes place in the New Testament. I think that this book is awesome! It is also one of the few fictional books written about Lydia. I just love the way that this author brings the lesser known women in the Bible to life! Other great books I have read by this author are Ruth, Miriam, and Abigail.

Sam Henderson's worldview is both incisively waggish and divinely absurd, elevating everyday affairs into poetic gems. His wit, combined with his lively cocktail napkin-style drawings, makes for a terriby funny book. In sum, the Sam Henderson experience is like being trapped in an elevator with Mark Twain, Samuel Beckett, Groucho Marx, and a five-legged frog.

I was never a runner but I wanted to run a marathon so a friend recommended this book. It is an excellent "how-to" manual and I followed it word-for-word. Benyo gives advice from day one through the actual races (mile by mile) and post race recovery. I hope this book makes it back into print because it is an excellent guide to running a first marathon.

There is no better history of a sniper account ever wrote. The man did everything but invent the art of sniping. The man has done more for the Marine Corps sniper school and in turn for the Army than anyone. This book is an account of the history of the greatest sniper ever. It takes you through every hunt, stalk, and kill with such detail it makes you feel as though you are laying next to him as his spotter. The book goes over how the sniper rifles for Vietnam came about, and also the things that became basic sniper training that he invented out in the field. It takes you over some of his most famous hunts and shots and finishes with his grand final hunt days before he was due to leave Vietnam. It goes over some accounts of some of the famous NVA snipers that were in the same field as he was, just not as lucky to return home. Once you pick up the book you will not want to put it down as your interest grows in the book, just as the price on his head grew in Vietnam by the NVA. The only disappointment of the whole book is the end, and the fact that you run out of book to read about this great man. The man is a hero, and should have won the Medal of Honor for the amount of lives he saved with his "93 confirmed kills".

This book is not only extremely helpful with great resources for young writers to send material, the names of the contests and magazines are categorized with a decription of criteria the company wants in manuscripts, pay, time it takes for them to get back to you, and recent publicatons byt the company. These small decriptions are very brief with all of the needed details right in front of you. This is a great resource for writers who are just getting started and even writers who have written for a long time and are looking for new experiences.

This is about a US Marine in Veitnam. A small man caught in a current that he couldn't recognize nor get out of. This book will challenge you, you'll be exhausted, perplexed, and asking why. Worst of all, you can see yourself doing the same. It's a very interesting work. One of the best examinations of Veitnam in several years.

Of Town and Field tells the story of a small town, Matawan Borough in Monmouth County, and the farms and people who lived in the surrounding Aberdeen Township. Learn about the area's contributions to the world's fossil record, and how the small town and farms became a modern suburban bedroom community. The book covers the history of the area from pre-history times and it's first settlers to the new millennium and concludes with how the residents pulled together after their losses of 9-11-2001. Although well-researched and packed full of information, the author has also managed to bring out the rich heritage of the area. Readers can experience the narrow escape of a patriotic officer from the forces of the British crown during the American Revolution and the shark attacks that shocked a nation in the early 20th century. Besides being informative, 100 photographs, many vintage and previously unpublished also illustrated the changing times.

This interesting and informative book is perfect gift to all current and former residents of Matawan Borough, Aberdeen Township, Cliffwood and Cliffwood Beach.

Of Town and Field is the companion volume to the pictorial history Around Matawan and Aberdeen.

I bought "Math Trek 2" sight unseen because we'd read "Math Trek 1" from our local public library, but the library didn't have the second book in the series. While you probably should read "Math Trek 1" first, "Math Trek 2" is even better! I generally expect a sequel to be *almost* as good, so this was a surprise.
I read "Math Trek 2" aloud, as bedtime reading, to my nine-year-old, who enjoyed it very much, and even proved how closely he'd been paying attention by surprising his teacher with a novel, different answer to a series question she'd posed the class, and then explaining his answer so the whole class could understand it.
As an adult, I very much enjoyed such tidbits as *why* the five Platonic solids are called that, and what they meant to Plato. Reading these books is as much fun for me as it is for my child.
The book is marked "Young Adult", but should be entertaining and informative to a wide range of ages. My nine-year-old would not have read it on his own if I had just left it around, though; younger kids probably need an adult's involvement.
