An intriguing SF drama about two people from entirely different worlds--one from Earth, one from another planet, Arboth.

A young man named Troy is travelling to Arboth, one of a large group of colonists. As the ship travels onward, Troy has visions of a strange girl named Eth. Eth, who also dreams of Troy, is a "dream weaver", who helps with the pivotal task of keeping her civilization stable and ordered.

The writing style is excellent, though every now and then I lost track of the plot in the details. The colonization ship gives the book an edge of hard SF, while Arboth is a beautiful planet of fantasy-like atmosphere....

Dreamcatcher: The Shooting Script is a unique book that presents the William Goldman and Lawrence Kasdan collaborative film script of the movie "Dreamcatcher", along with an extensive commentary describing how Stephen King's popular horror novel was successfully adapted to the silver screen. A superb resource that teaches by example the tips, tricks, and techniques of professional screen writers, Dreamcatcher: The Shooting Script is a welcome addition to personal, professional, and film school resource collections and reference archives.

It is well-known that Lawrence Durrell and Henry Miller became friends after Durrell wrote a letter to Miller in Paris, praising the latter's 'Tropic of Cancer' when it was still banned both in Britain and the United States. What devolved from this sincere letter of praise is shown in this volume, a successor to the 'Durrell-Miller Letters' of thirty years ago. Of necessity more complete than its predecessor, the 'Durrell-Miller Letters: 1935-80' tells a story in its own right of the lives of two great friends, who met over a book and stayed the course for the next forty-five years.

In these pages we find Durrell, always in exile no matter where he has chosen to settle, be it England, Corfu, Cyprus, Argentinia, Yugoslavia, Egypt or France, writing to Miller, an American first abroad in Paris then returned to the United States, to New York and eventually to Big Sur, where he was to live for most of the rest of his life. Over the course of the letters a remarkable friendship blossomed, one which withstood the tests of distance and age with remarkable fortitude, and which only death eventually ended. The letters are often exuberant, coarse, and amusing; they chronicle the developing literary and personal fortunes of two remarkable men: one the author of some of the most controversial books of the twentieth century, the other author of the much-praised Alexandria Quartet, as well as countless volumes of poetry, drama, and travel writing.

Introduced and annotated by Ian MacNiven, Durrell's official biographer, and completed two years before Durrell's death in 1990, this volume is a marvellous addition to the library of any reader of either Durrell or Miller, or anyone who appreciates seeing at first hand the inner workings of rare and unique minds.

This book by first-time author Larry Farris is a definite read for anyone interested in the sociological perspective of small town ministry. Pastor Farris has real-life examples and writes in a thoroughly readable and enjoyable prose. I highly recommend this book to anyone who care about small towns, churches, and the people that are involved with them. I hope to read more from Mr. Farris.

This is a very informative collection of articles covering many aspects of South Asian music. It includes articles about North and South Indian classical traditions, folk traditions, dance, and popular music. There are also many articles about the role of music in society, women in music in South Asia, and South Asian music worldwide. Each region of South Asia is also covered with individual chapters. Many of the musical concepts and structures are exemplified in the accompanying CD; the relevant CD tracks are clearly noted in the text.

Living in Dubai, I have found myself immersed in South Asian culture, and recently started studying carnatic music on the veena, simply because it was here. Lacking all knowledge of the contexts in which the veena is played, I found myself floundering in my studies. The first teachers I worked with here either haven't had enough English or enough music theory studies to explain the music. I searched on the Net for information about carnatic music, but found that most of the information was written by Indians for Indians, using terms that I don't understand or can't make sense of. What makes this book different is that it is written for Western audiences, and the Indian terms are fully explained. As a result, this book has been a tremendous resource for me in explaining the music theory that I was struggling with, as well as the context of the music in Indian society. I've never read an encyclopedia cover to cover before, but once I got started reading this one, I couldn't stop.

I read "The Glory of their Times" when I was 10 and have never forgotten it. What a read and what a joy it was to find this new work! Ritter tells you not only where Ebbetts field or the Polo Grounds were but he tells you which outfield wall paralleled which street! Learn about Babe Ruth's New York, Lou Gehrig's New York and a whole host of other places which served to make New York the unique city that it is!

This book is an excellent source of information about the cantilever barns and some of the people to built them. I am a decendent of John Trotter, whose family built several of the barns.

After reading what pastoring was all about I felt that the way most pastors are running the church today is totally out of order. We are not to be lord's over God's heritage, but servants to God's people. Not bosses, CEOs, not employers, but servants....this is a great book!
