Yes,this is a book to be cherished:to be used as a guideline for life itself. The writer make the sport of golf into more of a lifestlye choice and allows us as readers to share in his true belief that golfness is next to Godliness. A beautiful addition to your library.

This book is comprised of a series of articles spanning the past 25 years, from Boston's pre-eminent feminist newspaper, "Sojourner, The Women's Forum". The articles are organized in chapters by issue area with thoughtful essay/introductions by Ms. Kahn. If you like reading alternative publications, you will like reading the articles in this book! And, the book provides a great overview of the feminist movement of the 70's, 80's and 90's.

"Post-disaster Earth" can be a varied genre. Actually part of a series, this book details the loves and lives of the people left over when a deadly virus sweeps the planet. Read it before, you say? The difference with this one is how closely it follows the actual thoughts and lives of the characters. The characters themselves cover many ages and ethnic origins, all coming together at some point to help rebuild.

There are the people in the biodome, safely tucked away from the virus. Then, there are the "outsiders", the ones that were either immune or lived through the virus. Enter the conflict- one wife works inside the biodome- her husband lives through the virus outside. They can never meet again, for fear of contamination of the others in the biodome. How will they deal with having new children when there are only 12 people trapped inside? How will the outsiders stay alive in a planet in enivronmental upheaval? And how will they find out if there are survivors on the rest of the world?

It may not be as "heavy" as many similar books you could read, but Future Eden is a thought-provoking, entertaining read.

"Future Man" by Chris Morgan deals with the biological, social, technological and mental changes that shape mankind. It is based on science, forecasting and imagination. The last few chapters deal with the future societies of mankind on the Earth, in space and the far distance future, where mankind is so alien it can no longer be called Homo sapiens sapiens.
Do NOT confuse this book with "Future Man" by Brain Stableford. That book is papaerback with lots of pictures. THIS book is hardcover with only a few charts and no color pictures.

Dan Morgan also wrote some quite fine fiction novels. The ones I'm aware of are: 1.The new Minds 2.The several minds 3.Mind trap 4.Inside and 5.The country of the mind

I must say that I have only read 2 of these as I'm finding it hard to locate them but of those read I enjoyed greatly . They were quirky, at times challenging and while in some places slighly dated the writting is of a quality to keep you engrossed and waiting to see what is around the next corner. I would suggest 4 stars if u can find them.

To be frank,I never have the chance to read the book,yet I ever read lots of essays and thesis telling me that the book is really helpful to a student intending to have a in-depth search of Passage,so I wish to get the book for a long time.Although I tried all means, I haven't gotten the book.That's why I've come to the Amazon.

These songs are fun and interesting for all kinds of ages and levels of Spanish. The singing is clear and varied enough to keep it interesting. I noticed the music helping me learn more hidden details of Spanish such as where emphasis might be placed in a phrase, or how to express ideas more naturally rather than in "book language". The illustrations in the book are a little too like high school text books, but at least they are clear. The Spanish used seems to me more Castilian rather than the Mexican or Latin American one would run into here in the U.S., but is what is usually taught here anyway. Even my two-and-a-half year old enjoyed this thoroughly!

My wife and I stumbled on this little jewel of a book in a local bookstore while attending an out of town church retreat. At the time we were about 2 years from my retirement and already planning for and looking forward to early retirement. One of my dreams for years had been retirement to a mountain cabin home with a rocking chair on its screened porch. With the vision in mind this book's title captured our attention as we browsed the shelves.

I really did not want to achieve its title, but the section headings in the Table of Contents spoke to me, particularly "Experiencing That First Freedom", "Fragmented by Busyness", and "Finding That Creative Balance". We made the plunge and have been very thankful that we did.

Over the next year and a half as we moved toward retirement, we read a chapter every weekend morning that we were at our future mountain home fixing it up. Occasionally I had difficulty relating to some of the author's experiences, since he is a retired minister, but in many of the 74 chapters he spoke directly to us.

In chapter 12, "Redeemed from John Henryism", the author talks about John Henry, "the best steel-driving man on the railroad". "In a contest, John Henry did indeed beat the machine and then collapsed with a ruptured blood vessel in his head. Not exactly a successful end to his career." Richard professes to be a John Henry, who "liked tackling things other people couldn't do". To some extent we all are John Henrys at times and that is not physically nor emotional good for us. In completing the chapter the author tells us how he has achieved "deliverance from the compulsive need to achieve at any cost."

For many the sudden transition from fulltime work outside the home to fully retirement inside the home can be traumatic. Richard address this directly in the opening quote for his Section IV, "Downum Street Blues", "The moment of retirement itself may be a shocking encounter .... for those whose creativity and involvement in work has been of major importance and whose identity is largely derived from that work, there can be a bitter and deprived feeling of being expelled and depreciated."

Two months into retirement, we are adjusting very well and we feel this book was a significant factor in our preparation and planning.

We had some great laughs reading this book with our 7 year old son Joël. He immediately identified with Julia and as parents we saw quite a bit of Julia in him. We have a baby as well so Joël laughed out loud as we read Julia's attempts at bossing her baby brother around. This is a fun, well written and illustrated book that is sure to bring warm chuckles to parents and great laughs to children. Although it does so in a 'fun' way, this delightful book nurtures mutual understanding between parent and child and sheds a playful light on the frustration little children feel with "being bossed around by everyone." It's as much a 'parenting' book as it is a fun child's story.

Short book, if you are a fan of Morgaine you will enjoy this short and not too deep story, from her perspective. Easy reading with some interesting insights
