A journey into

Eugene O'Neill

Yale University Press, 2002

As Good As It Gets
I had a friend once tell me that he had just read this play and had decided it was overrated. From that point on, I never considered anything he had to say very important. He had pretty much revealed his inner workings and I saw him for the ignoramus he is. I have read ...

China Road: A Journey into the Future of a Rising Power

Rob Gifford

Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2008

A great book
I was tasked with an unclassified China Culture Brief for our squadron's Commander's Call. I used many of Rob Gifford's facts, stories, and analysis, all of which went over well. His story about the great wall petering out around the Hexi Corridor got my mind ...

Your Inner Fish: A Journey into the 3.5-Billion-Year History of the Human Body

Neil Shubin

Pantheon, 2008

Book Club surprise--one of the best in my non-fiction list for 2008
As assigned reading for a book club, Your Inner Fish became for me a page-turning, fascinating read with enough described real-life excitement to generate my own mind-expeditions through the Arctic, voyages to the cliffs of Nova Scotia, and tedious hours in labs ...

Blue Highways: A Journey into America

William Least Heat-Moon

Back Bay Books, 1999

A Lot of Good Remains in America
I have written many reviews for Amazon.com. Blue Highways is the only book to which I've given five stars. I would recommend it to anyone. Blue Highways is William Least Heat-Moon's account of his 1978 low-budget car ride across America. Heat-Moon's reporting ...

The Presence Process: A Healing Journey into Present Moment Awareness (v. 1)

Michael Brown

Beaufort Books, 2005

Buy this book!
I'm reluctant to go into much detail about the book, because it offers so much and each reader will respond differently. I did, though, buy 10 copies to give to family and friends. It is the most unideological approach to personal development that I've EVER come ...

Breaking Open the Head: A Psychedelic Journey into the Heart of Contemporary Shamanism

Daniel Pinchbeck

Broadway, 2003

spiritual alientation in the modern world
If Marx addressed the problem of modern man's alienation from an economic perspective, Pinchbeck addresses the exact problem from a spiritual stance, not unlike Jung. In the argot of postmodernism, this is a "readerly text. In other words, it's not something you'll ...

Servant Leadership: A Journey into the Nature of Legitimate Power and Greatness 25th Anniversary Edition

Robert K. Greenleaf

Paulist Press, 2002

Shipping time
Shipping time was very expedient with regular shipping. The seller is obviously great with customer service and shipped my book out right away.

A Journey Into the Deaf-World

Harlan Lane, Robert Hoffmeister, ...

DawnSignPress, 1996

This will truly take you on a journey!
I am a CODA and have thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. This book goes deep into the heart of numerous issues. I will admit, there are portions of the book that seem to be dry, but within a few paragraphs it becomes riveting. I have learned so much about the ...

The Journey from Abandonment to Healing: Turn the End of a Relationship into the Beginning of a New Life

Susan Anderson

Berkley Trade, 2000

Excellent!
Years of loss, rejection, abandonment?....this book is for you! Easy to read and understand - allows for healing and understanding. Some of the exercises are good, but did not do all of them - combined this book with Eckhart Tolle, "power of now". All is well, NOW!

In Gomorrah, Saviano wades through the gates of hell, revealing the extent of criminal enterprise in southern Naples, the long tentacles of the Camorra infecting every aspect of business from the port of Naples to the interior. Inland, cement cities house men and women ...

The Attributes of God Volume 1 with Study Guide: A Journey Into the Father's Heart

A. W. Tozer

WingSpread Publishers, 2007

A Must Have
I am so glad to see these two books (The Attributes of God Vol. 1 and Vol. 2) re-released to the public after having gone out of print. J.I. Packer once wrote, "Theology is for doxology", simply put; the study of God should lead us to praise Him forevermore. Few ...

Harvest/HBJ Book, 2002

Writing About Your Life: A Journey into the Past

William Zinsser

Da Capo Press, 2005

First rate
Zinsser weaves "how to" tips and discussion into his own memoirs. His section on cutting a broad project (write about baseball) down to manageable size (Pirates in spring training) is excellent for its step-by-step thinking process. He offers equally good thinking on ...
