In 1919 Lawrence arrived in Venice with a banned book to his name, living on very little and concerned with health problems. His last years in Venice were to include a relationship with Frieda and travels between America, Europe and England - Body Of Truth: D.H. Lawrence, The Nomadic Years, 1919-1930 re-creates his movements and his nomadic years, and his eventual reconciliation with the literary world.

Kushner writes elegantly of the Jewish faith and introduces children in such a gentle way to their heritage. Lovely book from beginning to end. G-d speaks in this writing.

This book stays true to aural tradition and offers outstanding, non-Westernized arrangements of the aural traditional music of African American spirituals.

The choice of using phonetic spellings for the lyrics means that the lyrics are heavy in the use of words like "dese", "dose", "Heab'n", etc. However, given the original publication being in the 1920's, and the author's comments in the introduction, it is apparent that the spellings are not the result of gross cultural insensitivity.

The respect for, and love of this fine music comes through in the author's comments. And the transcriptions retain the strong harmonic features that are often "arranged out" of collections of aural traditional music.

It is a fine collection, and an absolute steal at the price.

In this well written book Larry Taylor explains how genetic hard coding of individuals is more consistent with crime statistics than politically correct root-cause theories would suggest. The centerpiece of the book is the chapter on twin studies which have been carried on in Minnesota for over 40 years. As Taylor points out many other locales in the world have engaged in similar studies with substantially identical implications; England and denmark come to mind.

The inescapable fact is that identical twins separated at birth and then reunited 30-40 years later end up showing remarkable similarity with regard to their personalities, there life choices, their habits and patterns, and a whole host of other characteristics too many to cite. It is from this observation that Taylor lends credence to the concept that some of us are in fact born to crime.

It's too bad that a politically correct major media, with its attendant liberal agenda, has failed to include reasoned arguments such as those advanced by Larry Taylor and many others. It has taken the intervening 18 years since this book was published in 1984 for some of the more honest Liberal critics on the Left i.e. Bernard goldberg, to gain sufficient traction to hold their own Liberal media establishment up to the proper scrutiny

Although Taylor never mentions Race he was castigated as a racist by the political Left after writing this book for daring to suggest that genetic makeup could be causitive of criminal behavior. It's well done and shouldn't be so difficult to get. A couple of years ago Taylor came to me to get my copy back as he had none left of his own and couldn't find one in the public domain. Such is too often the fate of books not adhering to a virulent political correctness, a child of totalitarian communism and far right wing religions, which has had such a damaging effect on American society in the last 30 years.

Marty has done a great job of telling the story of his experience as a hostage. Even more he has intertwined his own struggle with loving the unlove-able and forgiving those who captured and tortured him. His amazing belief in a forgiving God and the grace he received to forgive so openly is a challenge to my own ability to forgive.

The Boy in the Bush is a minor work being a collaboration between Lawrence & Mollie Skinner. It is still a interesting read containing "Laurentian" ideas more fully worked out in his other novels.

The whole book was great. I love Shawn Stockman the best and hope he knows that he is the cutest guy in the whole world. From Molly, Shalom

Breathes There a Soldier is a fitting tribute and in depth look at what our soldiers went through before during and after World War II. This is a story of teenagers and twenty somethings plucked from all walks of life and shipped to far flung military camps in the U.S. for extensive training and finally combat. The memoirs of Robert Heatley describe in detail what it was like to be transformed from a citizen to a soldier while retaining what aspects of civilian life that he could.

The story of the 81st Infantry Division is not unlike any other military unit in its preparation and ultimate departure for battle, but the grueling schedule of nearly two years of stateside training takes its toll as 45 members of the Division were killed before even seeing a shot in anger. Fed into a war planning pipeline the 81st "Wildcats" with a proud lineage back to World War I trained from Alabama, Florida, Tennessee, Arizona, California and Hawaii.

The memoirs show an unbending devotion to country, family and fellow soldiers, bonds that were surely tested by spending four years away from home and under very trying circumstances. During his combat duty in the Pacific while witnessing the horrors of war and fighting for his life and others, Robert Heatley learns over time that not only has his father passed away but his mother as well. Upon his return home after the occupation of Japan he learns that his childhood home and all possessions are gone, having been foreclosed upon by a bank.

We owe this man and others like him a debt of gratitude. Where would we be today if Robert Heatley and millions of others like him did not answer the call to duty. He offers four years of his life and endures relentless training and the hell of the Pacific in places such as Peleliu. This island battle has received little notoriety, but is referred to by experts as one of the worst battles in the Pacific campaign. Surviving this and several other invasions he comes home to nothing.

The book is an intimate look at the life and times of an American, combat infantryman, and devoted father. Nice job Larry and thank you for your service Robert Heatley.
