DEATH OF SIMONE WEIL

A Big Band soundtrack on a theme of war and suffering? Simone Weil was a Jew obsessed with Christian and Buddhist worldviews, a mystic who claimed to have visions of a realm beyond reality, and a reclusive philosopher who starved herself to death in 1941. "The Death of Simone Weil", composed by Darrell Katz, with text by Paula Tatarunis, deals with the imagination, grace, bombings, invasions, desire, fishing, and the Pope. Weils story unfolds in a surreal, improvisatory jazz cantata that seamlessly mixes modern composition and the jazz legacy into a mature and personal style. The alto voice of Rebecca Shrimpton effortlessly captures the subtle shadings of the starkly beautiful text. Bostons powerfully virtuosic Jazz Composers Alliance Orchestra accompanies with fistfuls of fire. "The Death of Simone Weil" stands out in the jazz vocal tradition in terms of both scale and ambition, and whose depth and economy of expression are worthy of the subject. All in all, its an exciting soire with the far-out, the insane, and the beautifully strange.

Deliver Us from Evil: Is Something Wrong Between God and Me?

This pastoral meditation on suffering retains its relevance as devotional material a decade after its original publication in Dutch. More than half of the book is, appropriately, devoted to a reading of Job, perhaps the best-known classic text on the problem of suffering. Van der Zee's reading, which is entirely traditional (from a Lutheran-Reformed perspective) and not at all academic, is a series of seven sermons, each of which takes a passage from Job as text. The remaining four chapters are meditations on the suffering God, an image derived from Paul by way of Luther and Bonhoeffer. Though certainly not an original scholarly contribution, the book will appeal to readers seeking devotional material on an enduring problem posed by human existence in a world marked by evil as well as good. Steve Schroeder The author... does not resort to pat answers to respond to this difficult issue... His discussion on omnipotence is a helpful clarification to avoid the theological error of saying that all human events are God's will... good content. -- LIBRARIAN'S WORLD, Summer 1997 Text: English (translation) Original Language: Dutch

Splendid Land, Splendid People: The Chickasaw Indians to Removal

"The great strength of this study is that it grows out of meticulous and exhaustive research. . . . Scholars of Mississippi history and Chickasaw tribal history will find this book particularly useful."The Journal of Southern History"James R. Atkinson's long-awaited history of the Chickasaw Indians is an essential reference and enjoyable read. From prehistoric origins, through the climactic eighteenth century, to the shameful Removal, we finally have a comprehensive and completely responsible history of events for the Chickasaws. . . . This work was not designed as an ethnohistory, an anthropological analysis, or a popular book. However, such endeavors can now proceed in earnest with the resoundingly solid history and reference work Atkinson has completed."Southeastern Archaeology"Atkinson's long association with the late prehistoric, protohistoric, and historic archaeological sites of the Upper Tombigbee Valley and their various prehistories and histories has shaped and molded his intimate knowledge of the Chickasaw homeland. Only through a long-term commitment to a specific culture for a considerable period of time can a work such as Splendid Land, Splendid People have this depth of scholarship. If you only have one book on the Chickasaw, this is the one you should purchase for your libarary."--Journal of Alabama Archaeology James R. Atkinson is a retired historian and archaeologist who spent most of his career with the National Park Service in Mississippi and other states.

Eureka 970A Mighty Mite Twin Light Canister Vacuum Cleaner

Great for apartment dwellers, students, and seniors, this canister vacuum from Eureka provides versatile cleaning power in a lightweight form. The canister itself weighs less than 10 pounds, so it's easy to lift, and the nozzle, while not burly enough for professional use, is comfortable to maneuver. Designed for both carpets and bare floors, the vacuum also features a fully detachable hose for stairs and above-floor cleaning. A three-wheeled base makes the canister tip-resistant, and an ample hatch simplifies bag changing. The vacuum features both a motor filter, which can be rinsed clean, and a micron filter, which should be changed twice annually with average use. The toe-touch power button and the automatic cord retractor are both nice, and the cord stays out until you push the machine's rewind button. Built with a comfortable carrying handle, the unit comes with three spare dust bags, an extra length of hose, an upholstery attachment, a mini crevice tool, and a dusting brush. --Emily Bedard

Travels in Alaska

Take a trip to last century's Alaska through Muir's clean, easy-going, enthusiastic prose. He wrote the way he took pictures, with insight, attention, care and genuine feeling. It's a lovely look into a beautiful land and its inhabitants the way it used to be, told in a flowing narrative that is far less rushed than contemporary travel tales. --This text refers to the Paperback edition. Probably no other man in this country has his enthusiasm for mountains and glaciers . . . united with so rare a literary gift.John Burroughs --This text refers to the Paperback edition. Smitten with Muir's compelling story, a team of experts was assembled to create this unique audio production. With a deft hand, the team that brought the first environmental radio drama to the BBC (Producer Mara Purl, Foley artist David L. Krebs, composer Marilyn Harris and engineer Bill Berkuta) are joined by NPR announcer and famed actor Lee Salisbury. The project is further enhanced by the visual artistry of Dave Zaboski best known for his animation work at Disney, Warner Brothers and Sony Pictures. --This text refers to the Audio Cassette edition. If John Muir were here to comment on this original audio production of his journals, no doubt he'd say they were as painstakingly produced as were his own observations of Alaska's unspoiled habitat. In a departure from the usual audio book format, this production includes sound effects created live, as well as original music composed to enhance Muir's compelling story. --This text refers to the Audio Cassette edition. In the late 1800s, John Muir made several trips to the pristine, relatively unexplored territory of Alaska, irresistibly drawn to its awe-inspiring glaciers and its wild menagerie of bears, bald eagles, wolves, and whales. Half-poet and half-geologist, he recorded his experiences and reflections in Travels in Alaska, a work he was in the process of completing at the time of his death in 1914. As Edward Hoagland writes in his Introduction, ?A century and a quarter later, we are reading [Muir?s] account because there in the glorious fiords . . . he is at our elbow, nudging us along, prompting us to understand that heaven is on earth?is the Earth?and rapture is the sensible response wherever a clear line of sight remains.?This Modern Library Paperback Classic includes photographs from the original 1915 edition. --This text refers to the Paperback edition. Probably no other man in this country has his enthusiasm for mountains and glaciers . . . united with so rare a literary gift.John Burroughs --This text refers to the Paperback edition. David Rains Wallace is the author of fifteen books, including The Turquoise Dragon, The Quetzal and the Macaw, The Monkey's Bridge (a 1997 New York Times Notable Book), and The Klamath Knot,which won the Burroughs Medal in 1984. He was raised in Connecticut and graduated from Wesleyan College. He now lives in Berkeley, California.John Muir (1838-1914) was one of the most influential conservationists and nature writers in American history. Founder of the Sierra Club, and its president until his death, Muir was a spirit so free that all he did to prepare for an expedition was to "throw some tea and bread into an old sack and jump the back fence." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. chapter iPuget Sound and British ColumbiaAfter eleven years of study and exploration in the Sierra Nevada of California and the mountain-ranges of the Great Basin, studying in particular their glaciers, forests, and wild life, above all their ancient glaciers and the influence they exerted in sculpturing the rocks over which they passed with tremendous pressure, making new landscapes, scenery, and beauty which so mysteriously influence every human being, and to some extent all life, I was anxious to gain some knowledge of the regions to the northward, about Puget Sound and Alaska. With this grand object in view I left San Francisco in May, 1879, on the steamer Dakota, without any definite plan, as with the exception of a few of the Oregon peaks and their forests all the wild north was new to me.To the mountaineer a sea voyage is a grand, inspiring, restful change. For forests and plains with their flowers and fruits we have new scenery, new life of every sort; water hills and dales in eternal visible motion for rock waves, types of permanence.It was curious to note how suddenly the eager countenances of the passengers were darkened as soon as the good ship passed through the Golden Gate and began to heave on the waves of the open ocean. The crowded deck was speedily deserted on account of seasickness. It seemed strange that nearly every one afflicted should be more or less ashamed.Next morning a strong wind was blowing, and the sea was gray and white, with long breaking waves, across which the Dakota was racing half-buried in spray. Very few of the passengers were on deck to enjoy the wild scenery. Every wave seemed to be making enthusiastic, eager haste to the shore, with long, irised tresses streaming from its tops, some of its outer fringes borne away in scud to refresh the wind, all the rolling, pitching, flying water exulting in the beauty of rainbow light. Gulls and albatrosses, strong, glad life in the midst of the stormy beauty, skimmed the waves against the wind, seemingly without effort, oftentimes flying nearly a mile without a single wing-beat, gracefully swaying from side to side and tracing the curves of the briny water hills with the finest precision, now and then just grazing the highest.And yonder, glistening amid the irised spray, is a still more striking revelation of warm life in the so-called howling waste,-a half-dozen whales, their broad backs like glaciated bosses of granite heaving aloft in near view, spouting lustily, drawing a long breath, and plunging down home in colossal health and comfort. A merry school of porpoises, a square mile of them, suddenly appear, tossing themselves into the air in abounding strength and hilarity, adding foam to the waves and making all the wilderness wilder. One cannot but feel sympathy with and be proud of these brave neighbors, fellow citizens in the commonwealth of the world, making a living like the rest of us. Our good ship also seemed like a thing of life, its great iron heart beating on through calm and storm, a truly noble spectacle. But think of the hearts of these whales, beating warm against the sea, day and night, through dark and light, on and on for centuries; how the red blood must rush and gurgle in and out, bucketfuls, barrelfuls at a beat!The cloud colors of one of the four sunsets enjoyed on the voyage were remarkably pure and rich in tone. There was a well-defined range of cumuli a few degrees above the horizon, and a massive, dark-gray rain-cloud above it, from which depended long, bent fringes overlapping the lower cumuli and partially veiling them; and from time to time sunbeams poured through narrow openings and painted the exposed bosses and fringes in ripe yellow tones, which, with the reflections on the water, made magnificent pictures. The scenery of the ocean, however sublime in vast expanse, seems far less beautiful to us dry-shod animals than that of the land seen only in comparatively small patches; but when we contemplate the whole globe as one great dewdrop, striped and dotted with continents and islands, flying through space with other stars all singing and shining together as one, the whole universe appears as an infinite storm of beauty.The California coast-hills and cliffs look bare and uninviting as seen from the ship, the magnificent forests keeping well back out of sight beyond the reach of the sea winds; those of Oregon and Washington are in some places clad with conifers nearly down to the shore; even the little detached islets, so marked a feature to the northward, are mostly tree-crowned. Up through the Straits of Juan de Fuca the forests, sheltered from the ocean gales and favored with abundant rains, flourish in marvelous luxuriance on the glacier-sculptured mountains of the Olympic Range.We arrived in Esquimault Harbor, three miles from Victoria, on the evening of the fourth day, and drove to the town through a magnificent forest of Douglas spruce,-with an undergrowth in open spots of oak, madrone, hazel, dogwood, alder, spira, willow, and wild rose,-and around many an upswelling moutonn rock, freshly glaciated and furred with yellow mosses and lichens.Victoria, the capital of British Columbia, was in 1879 a small old-fashioned English town on the south end of Vancouver Island. It was said to contain about six thousand inhabitants. The government buildings and some of the business blocks were noticeable, but the attention of the traveler was more worthily attracted tothe neat cottage homes found here, embowered in the freshestand floweriest climbing roses and honeysuckles conceivable. Californians may well be proud of their home roses loading sunny verandas, climbing to the tops of the roofs and falling over the gables in white and red cascades. But here, with so much bland fog and dew and gentle laving rain, a still finer development of some of the commonest garden plants is reached. English honeysuckle seems to have found here a most congenial home. Still more beautiful were the wild roses, blooming in wonderful luxuriance along the woodland paths, with corollas two and three inches wide. This rose and three species of spira fairly filled the air with fragrance after showers; and how brightly then did the red dogwood berries shine amid the green leaves beneath trees two hundred and fifty feet high.Strange to say, all of this exuberant forest and flower vegetation was growing upon fresh moraine material scarcely at all moved or in any way modified by post-glacial agents. In the town gardens and orchards, peaches and apples fell upon glacial-polished rocks, and the streets were graded in moraine gravel; and I observed scratched and grooved rock bosses as unweathered and telling as those of the High Sierra of California eight thousand feet or more above sea-level. The Victoria Harbor is plainly glacial in origin, eroded from the solid; and the rock islets that rise here and there in it are unchanged to any appreciable extent by all the waves that have broken over them since first they came to light toward the close of the glacial period. The shores also of the harbor are strikingly grooved and scratched and in every way as glacial in all their characteristics as those of new-born glacial lakes. That the domain of the sea is being slowly extended over the land by incessant wave-action is well known; but in this freshly glaciated region the shores have been so short a time exposed to wave-action that they are scarcely at all wasted. The extension of the sea affected by its own action in post-glacial times is probably less than the millionth part of that affected by glacial action during the last glacier period. The direction of the flow of the ice-sheet to which all the main features of this wonderful region are due was in general southward.From this quiet little English town I made many short excursions-up the coast to Nanaimo, to Burrard Inlet, now the terminus of the Canadian Pacific Railroad, to Puget Sound, up Fraser River to New Westminster and Yale at the head of navigation, charmed everywhere with the wild, new-born scenery. The most interesting of these and the most difficult to leave was the Puget Sound region, famous the world over for the wonderful forests of gigantic trees about its shores. It is an arm and many-fingered hand of the sea, reaching southward from the Straits of Juan de Fuca about a hundred miles into the heart of one of the noblest coniferous forests on the face of the globe. All its scenery is wonderful-broad river-like reaches sweeping in beautiful curves around bays and capes and jutting promontories, opening here and there into smooth, blue, lake-like expanses dotted with islands and feathered with tall, spiry evergreens, their beauty doubled on the bright mirror-water.Sailing from Victoria, the Olympic Mountains are seen right ahead, rising in bold relief against the sky, with jagged crests and peaks from six to eight thousand feet high,-small residual glaciers and ragged snow-fields beneath them in wide amphitheatres opening down through the forest-filled valleys. These valleys mark the courses of the Olympic glaciers at the period of their greatest extension, when they poured their tribute into that portion of the great northern ice-sheet that overswept Vancouver Island and filled the strait between it and the mainland.On the way up to Olympia, then a hopeful little town situated at the end of one of the longest fingers of the Sound, one is often reminded of Lake Tahoe, the scenery of the widest expanses is so lake-like in the clearness and stillness of the water and the luxuriance of the surrounding forests. Doubling cape after cape, passing uncounted islands, new combinations break on the view in endless variety, sufficient to satisfy the lover of wild beauty through a whole life. When the clouds come down, blotting out everything, one feels as if at sea; again lifting a little, some islet may be seen standing alone with the tops of its trees dipping out of sight in gray misty fringes; then the ranks of spruce and cedar bounding the water's edge come to view; ... --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

War Torn: Stories of War from the Women Reporters Who Covered Vietnam

Often only hours before you took that first sip of ricard or your martini... you had been watching a medic give up on a kid of eighteen or nineteen and flip a cold poncho over his face. Often you could hear the artillery of a battle across the Saigon River. So Kate Webb, a former UPI correspondent, recalls her days as a reporter in Vietnam, moving back and forth between the devastation of the field and the decadent and chaotic nightlife of Saigon. Her story is part of War Torn: Stories of War from the Women Reporters Who Covered Vietnam, written by former correspondents including Denby Fawcett, Jurate Kazickas and UPI's Webb and Tracy Wood. The book collects nine reporters' memoirs that recall the period of 1966 1975, when women's reportage, as Gloria Emerson notes in her introduction, was much rarer than today. Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information, Inc. Women correspondents in Vietnam were a rarity and frequently discouraged by the military as well as by paternalistic editors who resisted giving them combat assignments. But the nine women reporters whose harrowing war stories are recounted here e.g., Bartimus (Associated Press), Edie Lederer (Associated Press), Anne Merrick (ABC-TV), Laura Palmer (ABC and NBC Radio), and more were determined to go to Vietnam to cover the biggest story of their generation. In the course of their work, one was captured and imprisoned by the enemy and two others were seriously injured. For each woman Vietnam was a life-changing event, her "phantom limb," as Bartimus calls it. These powerful stories of sex, drugs, fear, adventure, horror, and pathos, as well as "the unabashed love" that these reporters observed the men on the battlefield expressing to one another, offer a new perspective on the war and warfare journalism that should be in demand in all public and academic libraries. Highly recommended. Faye Powell, Portland State Univ. Lib., OR Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc. This fascinating book chronicles the experiences of nine women reporters who covered the Vietnam War from 1966 until 1975. There was no censorship of war coverage, and reporters even went on bombing missions, but there were concerns about allowing women journalists near the fighting because they were considered a distraction. This attitude led female reporters to fight for their right to cover the war, and they won, earning the privilege to face the same horrific, life-threatening situations as male reporters. Several of them, like the soldiers they covered, found some comfort in drugs, alcohol, and sex. They also recall friendships with soldiers and the Vietnamese and their growing cynicism as the controversial war continued. One reporter remembers how Vietnam gave her a family: she met her husband there, and she adopted two Vietnamese orphans. A wire service reporter recounts her brief imprisonment by North Vietnamese in Cambodia. All nine share vivid recollections of danger, loss, and anguish and relay how covering Vietnam changed their lives professionally and personally. Vanessa BushCopyright American Library Association.

Walking past the cages of lethargic, dusty animals, I was drawn to a group of Vietnamese soldiers standing around a cement pit. They were watching two captive bears dancing on their hind legs, begging for candy and fruit. The soldiers threw the bears peanuts; then one of them casually tossed a lighted cigarette into a bears mouth. The soldiers laughed as the bear struggled to cough up the burning cigarette.In Vietnam, I tried hard not to dwell on the plight of the poor bears or think too long about the dramatic deaths of friends I expected to know forever. There was no forever there . . . just one surprise after another. You had to fortify yourself for what was coming next. Only now, so many years later, do images drift back with mighty and haunting force.In the night when I cant sleep, I see the smiling face of my friend Riley Leroy Pitts, the handsome black army captain we called Pittsie Old Boy, a Medal of Honor winner. Pittsie threw himself on a grenade to save his men at Ap Dong, a dud Chinese grenade that failed to explode. After escaping death once, Pittsie got up off the ground and moved forward to kill the Vietcong machine gunners who had trapped his company in a jungle so thick, they could not fire back effectively. Pittsie Old Boy, dead at age thirty, mortally wounded while trying to prevent the Vietcong from shooting more of his men.On other restless nights, I hear the voices of marines at the Rockpile near the demilitarized zone saying, They must have paid you a fortune to come here. The truth is, I paid my own way to the war and initially made so little money, I had to carefully count what I spent for books, clothes, and rent.Covering the Vietnam War was the pivotal event of my life. Yet in the years afterward, I never mentioned my days on helicopter assaults, my fear of getting shot in the face, or the heady social life in Saigon for the same reason most soldiers kept quiet. It was a bad war. Nobody wanted to hear about it, and even if they did, they wouldnt understand.I dont think any of us were prepared for what we would see in Vietnam. I went to the war in May 1966, as a merry explorer, a journalistic kind of person, plagued with a short attention span and an unstoppable curiosity. I was twenty-four years old, the oldest child of an artistic mother and a father in the advertising business, glamorous and brilliant people who loved me dearly. They urged me to always keep one step ahead of comfort, and from them I learned the benefits and perils of making friends with the untamed side of yourself.I decided I must go to Vietnam when The Honolulu Advertiser sent my then boyfriend, and many years later husband, Bob Jones, to cover the war. The Honolulu morning paper wanted a reporter in Vietnam to do stories on Hawaiis 25th Infantry Division, a local unit deployed to Cu Chi between Saigon and the Cambodian border, and in Pleiku in the Central Highlands. Hawaii, with its large military population, had a focused interest in the war.Just out of Columbia University, I was languishing as a reporter on the evening Honolulu Star-Bulletin womens page, assigned to write features and to help the papers star society reporter cover Honolulu social events. I yearned to be part of Vietnam, the biggest news story of my generation. Yet I was stuck wearing a borrowed evening gown to cover the Junior League ball or busy taking endless notes at the Chinese Narcissus Festival. My single goal in heading for Saigon was to remake my destiny.My Star-Bulletin editors thought I was joking when I asked them to free me from the society pages to cover the Vietnam War. They said it was out of the question, so I quit my $80-a-week job and I was ready to leave for Vietnam as a freelancer when, at the last minute, Honolulu Advertiser managing editor Buck Buchwach took a chance and hired me as one of his reporters. Buchwach told me I would have to pay my own way to Saigon but promised me a letter of accreditation and $35 for each article I wrote.When I told my parents I was going to Vietnam, they were worried, but rather than try to discourage me, they kept their concerns to themselves. They were friendly extroverts who loved to throw parties on the lawn of our big Honolulu beach house. But between the parties they could be extremely sensitive. My mother read a book a night during the periods when she could concentrate, momentarily free of her episodes of manic depression, a disease that scared us and sometimes swept her away from us when we were children.My father, a bookish man himself, loved British mystery stories and his volumes of Walt Whitman, lovingly preserved from his days as a Stanford University student. His own darkness was binge drinkingusually two-day-long spells he referred to as tootsconfusing my brothers and me as we watched him bounce back from the alcoholic binges, miraculously transformed into the thoughtful and kind father he was before.Both my mother and father were quietly withdrawn as I prepared to leave for the war. I remember the night before I departed walking into my fathers dressing room on the first floor of our house to find him sitting in the twilight in boxer shorts, staring at the wall, the TV set across from him turned off. He brooded by himself, knowing there was nothing he could do to protect me from the danger ahead. The room was shadowy and silent, the only sound the waves crashing on the beach in front of our house.I packed my suitcase with sundresses recently shortened to the appropriate 1960s mini length by my mothers Japanese dressmaker, sandals, pearls, dark glasses, and a bathing suit. I had no idea what to bring to a war.When I arrived at Saigons Tan Son Nhut airport, hundreds of soldiers were pouring out of planesthe American presence in Vietnam would double by the end of the year from two hundred thousand to four hundred thousand troops. The only other women in the airport were Vietnamese customs officials. Everyone stared at me. The American embassy listed 758 American women in South Vietnam at the time. Until then, I had spent my life happily unnoticed in the background. The constant attention was unnerving.The Honolulu Advertisers Saigon bureau was in Bobs two-room apartment near An Quang Buddhist pagoda, the headquarters of the monk Thich Tri Quang, an outspoken critic of the Saigon government. I bought a Chinese bike for $20 to get around the city; the bike made me feel vulnerable and exposed if I happened to ride home at the same time that government troops were tear gassing our neighborhood to quell the pagodas frequent antigovernment demonstrations. During the tear gassings, helpful Vietnamese bicyclists signaled me to follow them down side alleys and lanes to escape the acrid air.Besides the tear gas, there were also blackouts. In a botched attempt to tame the rebellious monks at the pagoda, South Vietnamese officials cut off electricity to our neighborhood almost every night. The enforced darkness only strengthened the monks resolve and, for us, heightened our sense of adventure and romance as we typed our news stories by candlelight.The Advertiser promoted my presence in Vietnam as a reporter specializing in color stories on Saigon and its environs. A story in the paper informed readers I would do articles on men and women who are lending their teaching, building and medical skills to winning the peace. I was supposed to remain in the safety of Saigon writing features; Bob was to take care of the dangerous war coverage.It was easy to find bizarre feature stories. One of my first pieces was on tourism in Vietnam, a report I later sold to the Saturday Review magazine. With a shooting war in full swing, the South Vietnamese government continued to spend money to promote tourism. The Vietnam National Tourist Bureau opened its doors each morning in a musty office next to the Majestic Hotel on the north bank of the Saigon River. Pamphlets on the counter proclaimed Saigon as the Pearl of the Orient. My favorite pamphlet urged tourists to come to Vietnam . . . a hunters paradise with game filled areas 50 to 250 miles from Saigon. A red-lettered stamp across the top cautioned: Temporarily suspended under the present situation.Any American could visit Vietnam without a visa if he stayed for less than seven days. Pan American World Airways offered five flights a week to Saigon from Hawaii and the continental United States. Tourists did come, but not many. They were mostly hippies, druggies, or curiosity seekers such as the Dwight Folletts of Oak Park, Illinois, a couple I interviewed for my piece. Dwight was the president of Follett Publishing Company. We must be the only tourists here, he said as he and his wife sipped wine on an American friends penthouse terrace. We came because we wanted to see what was happening in Vietnam ourselves. In the United States everything we read is either black or white.The Folletts activities included watching Buddhist monks stage an antigovernment protest that broke up after the Saigon police sprayed the monks with tear gas and beat them with sticks. A few days later, the Folletts took a trip to the beach resort of Nha Trang, where they ate fresh lobster in a former French caf. Follett told me, I am coming out of this more a hawk than a dove. We must help these people.Two months after I arrived in Saigon, Bob departed to take a new job with KGMB-TV, the CBS News affiliate in Hawaii. At age twenty-four, I became The Honolulu Advertisers chief Vietnam reporter. The paper made me a full-time...

War Torn: Stories of War from the Women Reporters Who Covered Vietnam Often only hours before you took that first sip of ricard or your martini... you had been watching a medic give up on a kid of eighteen or nineteen and flip a cold poncho over his face. Often you could hear the artillery of a battle across the Saigon River. So Kate Webb, a former UPI correspondent, recalls her days as a reporter in Vietnam, moving back and forth between the devastation of the field and the decadent and chaotic nightlife of Saigon. Her story is part of War Torn: Stories of War from the Women Reporters Who Covered Vietnam, written by former correspondents including Denby Fawcett, Jurate Kazickas and UPI's Webb and Tracy Wood. The book collects nine reporters' memoirs that recall the period of 1966 1975, when women's reportage, as Gloria Emerson notes in her introduction, was much rarer than today. Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information, Inc. Women correspondents in Vietnam were a rarity and frequently discouraged by the military as well as by paternalistic editors who resisted giving them combat assignments. But the nine women reporters whose harrowing war stories are recounted here e.g., Bartimus (Associated Press), Edie Lederer (Associated Press), Anne Merrick (ABC-TV), Laura Palmer (ABC and NBC Radio), and more were determined to go to Vietnam to cover the biggest story of their generation. In the course of their work, one was captured and imprisoned by the enemy and two others were seriously injured. For each woman Vietnam was a life-changing event, her "phantom limb," as Bartimus calls it. These powerful stories of sex, drugs, fear, adventure, horror, and pathos, as well as "the unabashed love" that these reporters observed the men on the battlefield expressing to one another, offer a new perspective on the war and warfare journalism that should be in demand in all public and academic libraries. Highly recommended. Faye Powell, Portland State Univ. Lib., OR Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc. This fascinating book chronicles the experiences of nine women reporters who covered the Vietnam War from 1966 until 1975. There was no censorship of war coverage, and reporters even went on bombing missions, but there were concerns about allowing women journalists near the fighting because they were considered a distraction. This attitude led female reporters to fight for their right to cover the war, and they won, earning the privilege to face the same horrific, life-threatening situations as male reporters. Several of them, like the soldiers they covered, found some comfort in drugs, alcohol, and sex. They also recall friendships with soldiers and the Vietnamese and their growing cynicism as the controversial war continued. One reporter remembers how Vietnam gave her a family: she met her husband there, and she adopted two Vietnamese orphans. A wire service reporter recounts her brief imprisonment by North Vietnamese in Cambodia. All nine share vivid recollections of danger, loss, and anguish and relay how covering Vietnam changed their lives professionally and personally. Vanessa BushCopyright American Library Association. All rights reserved This book is about our experiences as women reporters covering the Vietnam War from 1966 until the fall of Saigon, in 1975. Each of us has written a chapter about what we saw and felt in Indochinaour adventures, fears, excitement, and the difficulties and loneliness.Vietnam was a unique war for all journalists, because there was no censorship. The U.S. military provided extraordinary access to combat operations. We could fly on bombing missions, parachute into hostile territory with an airborne unit, spend a week with the Special Forces in the jungle, hitch a ride on a chopper and land amid rocket and artillery as a battle raged, or be taken prisoner like a soldier. This access gave women reporters a chance to show that they could cover combat bravely and honorably, holding their own even under the most frightening and stressful circumstances.Some of us went on to cover other wars, but there was never any other quite like Vietnam. We are writing about Vietnam now because we feel it is important to keep those agonizing yet strangely exhilarating days alive, those dark days that changed us in ways we are still trying to understand. Many younger Americans know Vietnam only as an abstractiona few paragraphs in a textbook, a documentary on the History Channel, or as thousands of names on a black granite wall in Washington, D.C. But for those who served and those who suffered, for those who fought and those who watched it unfold on television, Vietnam will always be a part of us.from War Torn This book is about our experiences as women reporters covering the Vietnam War from 1966 until the fall of Saigon, in 1975.

Walking past the cages of lethargic, dusty animals, I was drawn to a group of Vietnamese soldiers standing around a cement pit. They were watching two captive bears dancing on their hind legs, begging for candy and fruit. The soldiers threw the bears peanuts; then one of them casually tossed a lighted cigarette into a bears mouth. The soldiers laughed as the bear struggled to cough up the burning cigarette.In Vietnam, I tried hard not to dwell on the plight of the poor bears or think too long about the dramatic deaths of friends I expected to know forever. There was no forever there . . . just one surprise after another. You had to fortify yourself for what was coming next. Only now, so many years later, do images drift back with mighty and haunting force.In the night when I cant sleep, I see the smiling face of my friend Riley Leroy Pitts, the handsome black army captain we called Pittsie Old Boy, a Medal of Honor winner.

Mississippi Hill Country Blues

Fans of this Mississippi hill country blues patriarch who've been put off by his previous two albums, the hip-hop remix set Come On In and last year's trip-hip experiment, Wish I Was in Heaven Sitting Down, will enjoy this time capsule recorded in 1982 and 1967. It's Burnside in the raw, playing solo on acoustic guitar as he did for his neighbors for most of his early career--when farming was still his profession. Burnside reprised "Miss Maybelle," "Mellow Peaches," "Poor Boy," "Jumper on the Line," and others among these songs on his more recent albums for Fat Possum Records, but these early versions capture his driving blend of one-chord rhythm with lightning decorations of slide and melody already fully developed. If anything, Burnside's guitar playing has slowed over the years, but it's taken on gravity as it's grown more spare, just as his voice--high and limber here--has added character with the imperfections of age. Burnside, who turned 73 in November, is also a more idiosyncratic musician now. Nonetheless, it's a pleasure to hear him doing numbers like "Bad Luck and Trouble" nearly 20 years ago, fusing the influences of John Lee Hooker and Fred McDowell into the potent style that's made him one of today's premier practitioners of old-time rural blues. --Ted Drozdowski After 2 albums of groundbreaking modern blues, 'Mississippi Hill Country Blues' showcases another dimension of Burnside; a completely different acoustic set that brings new depth to his music. More than a full hour, 19 tracks, of Burnside playing some his best-known tracks and others on this record. Recorded in 1980-1982, this documents a period of Burn's career not well known before. Nineteen tracks of acoustic solo blues. 2001 release.

Searching for a Better Society: The Peruvian Economy from 1950

This lucid study is a rare find: an analysis of a developing economy that successfully integrates the full range of development issues, including economic growth, competitiveness, poverty, social equity, agriculture, industry, and external and domestic finance, and places them all within their historical and political context. Moreover, this study accomplishes this feat for an intricate economy that defies easy understanding. I particularly recommend this book for undergraduate and graduate students in development economics: they will find it an inspiring performance. --Paul BeckermanThis thought-provoking book will be of great interest to policymakers and readers in general searching for new answers to the difficult dilemmas that have haunted the recent history of Peru and other Latin American countries. --Raul Hopkins, Journal of Development StudiesSheahan is an economist with a distinguished record of scholarship on Latin America, and like his previous work, this volume is clearly written, cogently documented, and expresses humane sensibilities and an independent viewpoint. --F. S. Weaver, CHOICE John Sheahan is Professor of Economics at Williams College. His list of publications is extensive and includes such well-known books as Patterns of Development in Latin America: Poverty, Repression, and Economic Strategy (Princeton, 1987).

The Hard Easy (2006)

In The Hard Easy, two men with money problems find themselves racing the clock--and each other--to get to a stash of cash that may help dig them out of financial trouble. Paul Weston (Henry Thomas, Gangs of New York, E.T.) is a gambler. Roger Hargitay (David Boreanaz, Bones, Angel) is a stockbroker who has squandered his funds. Through coincidence, they are both recruited by different thugs to rob the same place on the same day. Pop singer Nick Lachey, who makes his feature film debut as Roger's buddy and fellow accomplice, does a nice job in a small role. The actors make for nice eye candy, but it's the grizzled veterans who make the biggest impact. Bruce Dern (The Great Gatsby) and Paul Weller (Robocop) eat up the scenery in their turns as the charismatic puppet masters behind the heist. Though the plot is as transparent as some of the clothes Vera Farmiga (who plays a stunning doctor) wears, the film is on par with Mark Wahlberg's more glamorous The Italian Job: an exciting caper that doesn't make much sense. --Jae-Ha Kim Although Paul Weston and Roger Hargitay don't know each other, they have the same problem. They both owe a lot of money, have no conceivable way to pay it back and the clock is ticking. When each gets the opportunity to join a different gang of thieves for a heist that will clear their respective debts, what choice do they possibly have? The good thing is that it will be an easy robbery - an inside job...But maybe it's too easy...?DVD Features:Audio CommentaryInterviews

A Painted House

This novel is a story inspired from John Grisham's own childhood in Arkansas. The narrator is a farm boy named Luke Chandler, age seven, who lives in the cotton fields with his family in a little house that's never been painted. The Chandlers farm 80 acres, and when the cotton is ready they hire a truckload of Mexicans and a family from the Ozarks to help harvest it. For six weeks they pick cotton, battle the heat, the rain, the fatigue, and sometimes, each other. And, as the weeks pass, Luke sees and hears things no seven-year-old could possibly be prepared for.

Real

Heather Eatman's first two albums offered charming and often poignant visits with the oddball characters who hang around the side streets of her imagination. But Real, the waifish New York-based singer-songwriter's third outing, often seems to camp closer to home in confessional portraits of love delayed and denied. In pairing her with the electric soundscape of alt-rock trio Joe, Marc's Brother, producer Roger Moutenot (Lou Reed, Paula Cole) fits new wings to her dreamy, altered states, layering churning, diesel-powered guitars beneath her winsome folk-pop and blues. Whether recounting the demolition of love ("Heaven Help Us"), a disturbing sexual experience ("Mixed Up Girl"), or, in "Too Wild," the saga of an untamable horse, Eatman is always hypnotically original, her imagery ("muscles, bones, thrown at the sky") haunting and new. The surprise is how powerfully she sucks you into the swirl, her whispered vocals, softer than pillow talk, perfectly poised between passion and pain. Unforgettable. --Alanna Nash 12 TRACKS. Hole in barcode art.

Lost Stories for All Ages: Apocryphal Literature for the 21st Century

With Dawn of Time: The Early Years of Adam and Eve, we witness the expulsion of the first couple and God's response to their childlike steps. Desperately, they try, again and again, to get back into the garden of Eden, and back into His good graces. We see the establishment of the very first promises from God as He explains His plan to save them from a tragic fate. In Fire and Blade: The Wars of Abraham the Patriarch, we begin in the palace of Nimrod, the first great rebel against God after the Flood. There young Abram is born to one of Nimrod's favorite princes. An awesome celestial event heralds his birth, and the next phase of God's remarkable deliverance of Adam and his descendants unfolds. And in Trial by Fury: The Condemnation of Pontius Pilate we come face to face with the most amazing chapter in God's rescue effort yet, the very hour when the ransom for that deliverance was to be paid. We not only confront many of the facts behind the trial and execution of Jesus of Nazareth, but also the startling events that took place afterward, despite every attempt to erase them from the record of history. The year was 1768. Britain and America, and indeed most of Europe, were locking their collective horns in what was actually the first world war of ideas. Then, as if from out of nowhere, archaeology began uncovering a series of ancient manuscripts. For more than half a century, they would remain untranslated in museums, simply gathering dust. But eventually, these documents began to be deciphered. They provided a vivid, haunting glimpse into man's spiritual origins and destiny. Almost overnight, an entirely new way of understanding ourselves had been unveiled, as old as time itself. Now, three stories, drawn from these ancient records, have been adapted into their most modern form, and are being presented in a single, cohesive collection. Like links in a chain of time, "Lost Stories for All Ages" provides a unique and unprecedented view into our historic past. Ever since his Whittier College days (78-81), W. Kent Smith has endeavored to show that the historical process is a vast puzzle capable of being pieced together. His entire life has been spent researching history, and linking world events with philosophy, theology, science, and technology. It was this lifelong pursuit of the 'metapatterns' in history which shaped Smith's unique perspective on the interconnectedness of Western life. His first book, based entirely on apocryphal Bible literature, is entitled: "Lost Stories for All Ages." From "Trial by Fury" At that time, Tiberius Caesar, the Emperor of Rome, had been suffering from a terrible illness. He, too, had heard reports that there was a unique physician in Jerusalem, by the name of Jesus, Who reportedly healed every disease just by speaking. But in Rome, news that He had been crucified by certain Jewish leaders, with Pilate's help, hadn't arrived yet. So he called for his royal messenger, Volusianus. "Go as fast as you can across the sea," Tiberius ordered him. "Contact my servant and friend Pontius Pilate. I want him to send me this physician to restore my health, too." Immediately, Volusianus departed, and went to Jerusalem to see Pilate, just as he was ordered. Volusianus saluted the governor. "Your master Tiberius Caesar, Emperor of the Romans, has sent me on a solemn mission." Pilate cordially nodded. "How may I be of service?" "Caesar has heard about a physician here, Who heals simply by speaking. He's very eager to have you send Him to Rome as quickly as possible. He wants his disease to be healed, too." Inwardly, Pilate was terrified, knowing that he had allowed Jesus to be killed because of jealousy. "But the man you're talking about was a criminal! He seduced more and more people to his movement every day! So, after discussing the matter with the city's leaders, I let them crucify him." Heartbroken, the royal messenger had no choice but to return to the emperor with bad news. But along the way, he met a woman named Veronica, who had known Jesus. "Excuse me," he sighed, "but there was a remarkable physician in this city, Who healed the sick simply by speaking. Have you any idea why the Jews would have killed Him?" "Oh, my dear sir." She began to cry. "It was my Lord and my God that Pilate condemned and crucified. All because they were jealous of Him!" "But I was supposed to bring this Man to the emperor himself. We hoped He could help cure him." Volusianus hung his head. "Now I'm afraid I'll never be able to accomplish my mission." Veronica slowly regained her composure. "Well . . . after Jesus finished preaching in our town, He had to leave, so I wanted a painting of Him. That way I'd at least have His likeness to console me while He was gone. As I was taking the canvas to an artist, I met Jesus. When He found out where I was going, He asked me for the canvas. He gave it back to me and . . . incredibly, it had a picture of His marvelous face on it. Maybe, if your master looks at it, he might experience His healing power." Volusianus was astonished. "Is it possible to buy a picture like this with gold or silver?" "No, of course not," she smiled. "But I will go with you, and together we'll take the painting to Caesar." Volusianus started off for Rome then, along with Veronica and her portrait of Jesus.

For the Love Of A Pug

Kindergarten-Grade 2-Using traditional rhymes, the author pays homage to a pug by way of word substitution. For instance, "Old Mother Hubbard went to the cupboard/to get her poor Pug a bone," and "How much pie could a Pug put away/If a Pug could put away pie?" Six stanzas are illustrated in full-color pencil and gouache, each on a different spread. These are separated by labeled pictures of Pug set against a white background and thematically connected to the previous rhyme; for example, Mother Hubbard's calamity is followed by depictions of "Grumpy Pug" and "Hangdog Pug." The pup shown is the same throughout and the figure of a woman appears several times, so there is some continuity to the book. The art is energized with swirls, diagonals, and cross-hatching, and with the dramatic use of color. As an indulgent, creative endeavor, this book shines, but the sum of its parts is too sophisticated for preschoolers, and, with the exception of dog lovers, there's no real hook to draw readers in.Martha Topol, Traverse Area District Library, Traverse City, MICopyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

Fun / No Fun

Those who cheered Stevenson's When I Was Nine and Don't You Know There's a War On? will find the author/artist's latest return trip to his childhood equal cause for celebration. Here Stevenson--helped by his characteristically winsome watercolors--playfully muses on what was "fun" and what was "no fun" when he was a boy, juxtaposing the two with engagingly dry humor. The "fun" list includes cowboy boots, baseball hat and cookies with raisins; the "no fun" equivalents are galoshes, cap with flaps and cookies with no raisins. Some of the author's reminiscences conjure up a vanished past ("The five-and-ten had small wires along the ceiling. Small boxes went rattling around the store to where people made change"), but many of his experiences could easily take place today ("Fun was being a Cub Scout. No fun was going to a Cub Scout meeting if you had to walk past tough kids to get there"). Adults as well as kids will grin knowingly at the affable Stevenson's observations. Definitely "fun" for all. Ages 5-up. Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. Grade 2-4-As he did in When I Was Nine (Greenwillow, 1986), Stevenson discusses some of the activities and events of his youth. Readers, young and old alike, will appreciate comparing and contrasting their own experiences. Primitive childlike watercolors add to the realism of the story. They reflect a time when life was simpler (i.e., no Nintendo), but youngsters will readily identify with the universal feelings, even if they don't share the author's preferences of what is fun and what is not. A fine read-aloud choice or for one-on-one intergenerational sharing.Marcia S. Rettig, South Buffalo Elementary School, Freeport, PACopyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. Ages 4-8. Fun is watching a thunderstorm coming; no fun is when the storm arrives and the lightning crashes. Fun is preparing and planning to put on a play; no fun is the play itself. Fun is an amusement park; no fun is being caught on a ride when it's too late to get off. Besides the simple contrasts, Stevenson gets across the surprising way the happiest moments can suddenly turn into their opposites. Fun and no fun are connected. Fun was his birthday; no fun was his brother's birthday (with all those beautifully wrapped packages). Everything's understated, yet there's a clarity here about feelings that's honest and intimate and never condescending. As in Stevenson's Don't You Know There's a War On? (1992) and his other books about his childhood, the small blurry, watercolor figures and simple words leave lots of space. It's as if the images and experiences he remembers are bits and pieces of an elusive whole. There are some specific old-fashioned things kids will want to ask grandparents about (like the small cash boxes that went rattling around the store along ceiling wires to where people made change); but most things are either fun or no fun today as they always were. Hazel Rochman --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. Once again, Stevenson finds an imaginative and appealing perspective from which to present America as it was when he was growing up a couple of generations ago, in this case with eponymous pairs that reveal preferences universal (cowboy boots/galoshes) or individual (ice skates/roller skates); surprisingly few are unique to the period, though the freedom with which the young observer roams has a carefree confidence that's getting harder to find. The understated humor here is in the details and unexpected juxtapositions and the variety of subjects; Stevenson's watercolor vignettes, sketched with the brush with no added lines, continue to be almost miraculously spare and evocative. Authentic and fun. (Autobiography/Picture book. 5-9) -- Copyright 1994, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. James Stevenson is a prolific author of picture books, poetry, and young adult novels. His work is read and loved by readers of all ages.

Legendary Lover

Johnson (To Please a Lady) is at it again: turn the air conditioner on high and take out the fireproof oven mitts before opening the pages of this erotic Victorian romance. Jack Fitz-James, a dissolute young marquis renowned for his bedroom skills, meets Venus, an independent-minded Frenchwoman whose carnal appetites surpass even his own. Johnson fans know her plots are pretexts for one sexual encounter after another. (Every so often a historical "fact" is thrown into the brew, but it hardly makes a splash.) How long will it take Jack to give up his dedicated-to-pleasure life and admit he's fallen in love with the delectable Venus? Almost 300 pages, several dozen positions and variations of the same.

Legendary Lover Johnson (To Please a Lady) is at it again: turn the air conditioner on high and take out the fireproof oven mitts before opening the pages of this erotic Victorian romance. Jack Fitz-James, a dissolute young marquis renowned for his bedroom skills, meets Venus, an independent-minded Frenchwoman whose carnal appetites surpass even his own. Johnson fans know her plots are pretexts for one sexual encounter after another. (Every so often a historical "fact" is thrown into the brew, but it hardly makes a splash.) How long will it take Jack to give up his dedicated-to-pleasure life and admit he's fallen in love with the delectable Venus? Almost 300 pages, several dozen positions and variations of the same. Not satisfied with the now-standard dildo scene, Johnson adds a cognac bottle, too. Is this pornography? It depends on one's definition, but Johnson's romances are not for the demure. (To quote the amazing Jack: "He didn't know it was possible to fuck oneself to death... but he was willing to try.")

Becoming a Goddess of Inner Poise: Spirituality for the Bridget Jones in All of Us

For the increasing base of 20- and 30-somethings (particularly of the single variety) who have forged their circle of friends into substitute families, created social events of television series finales and count fictional characters among their role models, here is the perfect book on spirituality. Donna Freitas, a professor of spirituality, has, like an increasing number of the new crop of Ph.D.s, found a way to legitimize our pervasive pop culture. For years, Madonna has been the subject of college classes and the Simpsons have had a recent spate of publishing attentionwhy not Bridget? Freitas's impressive collection of resources includes everyone from St. Augustine (Confessions) to Dorothee Soelle (Thinking About God), Grace Jantzen (Becoming Divine) to Peter Brown (The Body and Society). Directed at a generation of women born of women who marched in the streets in a desperate escape from their June Cleaveresque mothers, she emphasizes that the "challenge today is to anchor our personal journeys toward Inner Poise within the communities that already surround us, exploring the spiritual possibility in the rituals we already practice and the spiritual leaders we already are." Throughout, Freitas delights with her Bridget-inspired voice (the Bridget-speak is fun, but over the top) while seamlessly showing her prowess as a student and teacher of spirituality.

Caught in the Act

Grade 9 UpHonor student Ethan Lederer has a wonderful girlfriend and a supportive family. During his sophomore year, he has a hard time keeping up with his overachieving parents' expectations, but can't bear the idea of disappointing them. One day, a new and mysterious student arrives at school, and he is immediately attracted to her. Both Ethan and Lydia audition for the student play, a modern version of Macbeth, and spend a lot of time together. Ethan gets caught cheating on his chemistry test, and when Lydia blackmails the teacher, he goes along. Soon afterward, he breaks up with his girlfriend, as he is literally caught in the act of lying about hanging out with Lydia. After visiting her home, however, he senses that she is more manipulative and dangerous than he first realized. She begins to pressure him to say he'll "stay forever" and to tell her that he loves her. He does, even as he becomes more disenchanted with the games she plays. When he tries to break it off with her, she claims that Ethan has been stalking her. There is a dramatic, violent climax involving the final production of the play that Moore ties together in a believable package. The smart, straightforward writing with its fast-paced action and realistic dialogue makes this novel a page-turner. It's a little predictable, especially regarding Ethan's pattern of lying to his parents, yet exciting enough to sustain interest. Fans of Gail Giles, Adele Griffin, and Nancy Werlin will especially appreciate this weirdo-thriller.Karen Hoth, Marathon Middle/High School, FL Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. Gr. 8-11. Ethan knows he is acting 24/7. He's a big fraud, pretending to his brilliant, successful parents that he's a good student and a good son. He's unable to confess that he cannot keep up in his sophomore science honors classes. After getting a crush on fierce, exotic Lydia, he finds himself telling her his secrets, and somehow she "persuades" the science teacher to give him an A and the drama coach to choose him as the lead. Then Lydia turns on Ethan, manipulating him to get what she wants, and she's vicious and violent when he won't obey. She tells him he is finding his true self--but who is that? The acting metaphors are overdone and overexplained, and Lydia is portrayed as a psychopath. But the scenes at home and school are right on, and Ethan's first-person narrative is a gripping drama about pretense and failure, seduction and self-betrayal.

The Thang That Ate My Grandaddy's Dog

The publisher calls this a novel, but really it's a series of short stories that feature the same characters. Most of the stories are narrated by Johnny Woodside, a city boy who goes to live with his grandparents in rural Florida after his father is sentenced to prison. Some of the stories, like The Mulberry Tree where Johnny's girl cousins lure him into getting attacked by a mockingbird, are playful reminiscences of childhood. Others deal with more adult concerns, as in the ribald A Conversation Among My Aunts and The Mamas and The Papas, in which young Paulus Keats learns that his tangled family history means he can marry the girl of his dreams after all. At their best, these are wistful stories, sometimes with the good humor of tall tales. This story of a clan of black folks living in Oklawaha County, Florida, is narrated by young Johnny Woodside, who has moved there from New York with his mother and sisters. The county is the home of his grandparents, Daddy Troy and Grandma Gert. Johnny, his cousins, and his sisters have one adventure and misadventure after another as they learn tough lessons about survival, self-respect, and common sense. The book rings with the humor and pain of ordinary life. Highly recommended for fiction and African American collections.?Fannette H. Thomas, Essex Community Coll. Lib., BaltimoreCopyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc. One by one, for different reasons, the children of Gertrude and Troy Woodside have returned to the family hometown in Oklawaha County, Florida, with their families. Johnny Woodside is one of the children's children and the narrator of this enchanting book.

The Thang That Ate My Grandaddy's Dog The publisher calls this a novel, but really it's a series of short stories that feature the same characters. Most of the stories are narrated by Johnny Woodside, a city boy who goes to live with his grandparents in rural Florida after his father is sentenced to prison. Some of the stories, like The Mulberry Tree where Johnny's girl cousins lure him into getting attacked by a mockingbird, are playful reminiscences of childhood. Others deal with more adult concerns, as in the ribald A Conversation Among My Aunts and The Mamas and The Papas, in which young Paulus Keats learns that his tangled family history means he can marry the girl of his dreams after all. At their best, these are wistful stories, sometimes with the good humor of tall tales. This story of a clan of black folks living in Oklawaha County, Florida, is narrated by young Johnny Woodside, who has moved there from New York with his mother and sisters. The county is the home of his grandparents, Daddy Troy and Grandma Gert. Johnny, his cousins, and his sisters have one adventure and misadventure after another as they learn tough lessons about survival, self-respect, and common sense. The book rings with the humor and pain of ordinary life. Highly recommended for fiction and African American collections.?Fannette H. Thomas, Essex Community Coll.

The End of the Rainbow: An Introduction to Richard & Linda Thompson

Richard Thompson earned the respect of fans for his guitar playing with Fairport Convention in the late 1960s. But it was the albums he made with his then-wife Linda in the early 1970s that gained him the reputation as one the premier songwriters to emerge from the British folk-rock scene. The songs on this 16-song collection are taken from the couple's first four albums together: Henry the Human Fly (actually a Richard Thompson solo record with Linda's background vocals), the classic I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight, Hokey Pokey, and Pour Down Like Silver. Linda's slightly husky alto inspired some of Richard's sweetest melodies, such as "Dimming of the Day," "For Shame of Doing Wrong," and "Down Where the Drunkards Roll," even as their sometimes rocky relationship caused him to write some of his gloomiest lyrics. The words may sometimes paint a bleak view of human relations, but the beauty of Linda's voice and the perfection of Richard's guitar lines do an excellent job of lightening the heavy mood. --Michael Simmons The first anthology to focus on the early-'70s Island LPs this folk-rock legend did with his wife Linda! These are among the most acclaimed recordings of his career, and rightly so; here are six tracks from I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight (Withered and Died; The Great Valerio ; the title song, and more), four from Pour Down Like Silver (Beat the Retreat; Night Comes In , etc.), the 13-minute tour-de-force Calvary Cross (live), and more!

Stone Age Present: How Evolution Has Shaped Modern Life -- From Sex, Violence and Language to Emotions, Morals and Communities

Modern human psychology and behavior has roots in the lives of our Stone Age ancestors, asserts Allman in this lucid and provocative survey of the emerging field of "evolutionary psychology." In his view, our species' primary adaptation was not hunting, toolmaking or language but the ability to cooperate; the dangers and payoffs of dealing with the most treacherous, dangerous animal in the world-- each other --triggered the brain's evolutionary growth. A senior science writer for U.S. News & World Report , Allman draws plausible connections between ancient humans' social cooperation and contemporary behavior such as anger at a mate's infidelity, how men and women choose a partner, our appreciation of music and art, food preferences and much more. He also identifies a downside to our putatitve Stone Age legacy--modern group insularity, racism, rabid nationalism and our difficulty in adjusting to a unifying technological society. Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. The subtitle of this book says it all: evolution has shaped the human mind and thus modern human behavior in complex ways. U.S. News & World Report senior writer Allman argues that trying to understand these ways through the lens of the nature vs. nurture controversy is unproductive, since evolution and culture have worked together rather than separately to form the human mind. He argues that the brain is not a general thinking machine but an organ developed for specific purposes, producing specific behavior patterns. His arguments draw on the research of "evolutionary psychology," which shows that the human mind has been fashioned over time specifically for cooperative and social behavior. Moreover, that research reveals that cooperation is the hallmark of our evolutionary history and that cooperative behavior is "hard-wired" into our brains. Allman applies these concepts to human behavior, relationships, language, and culture. An optimistic and provocative book that will inform the general public and enlighten students of anthropology and psychology.Joyce L. Ogburn, Yale Univ. Lib., New Haven, Ct.Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. A stimulating overview of the emerging field of evolutionary psychology. Can a brain that was forged to meet the challenges of the Stone Age cope with the problems of an urban, global society? This is the question posed by Allman (Apprentices of Wonder, 1989), a senior writer for U.S. News & World Report. He argues that human nature is a reflection of the various successful strategies that enabled our ancient ancestors to survive in harsh social and physical environments. Humanity's key asset, he asserts, is our ability to form groups and cooperate. In the Stone Age, our ancestors survived by forming small, mobile hunter/gatherer bands. Navigating the intricacies of this human social world--e.g., learning to recognize deception--fueled the rapid expansion of the brain. A warming trend in the global climate at the end of the last Ice Age, however, forced humans to adopt new social arrangements to meet different environmental demands. Humans settled into larger and more sedentary social groups--marking the onset of the agricultural revolution, but also loosing the social bonds that had previously ensured cooperation. Unfortunately, new mental mechanisms haven't evolved as rapidly as new social orders. According to Allman, we must now navigate a complex industrial society with Stone Age minds. Allman cites various psychology experiments and computer simulations that indicate our cooperative abilities are stretched to their limits by living in such large assemblages, which helps explain the prevalence of stress and depression in developed nations. Using the tools of evolutionary psychology, he offers explanations of behaviors like why men and women pursue different sexual strategies, why men don't ask for directions when lost, why we still engage in warfare, and why we like fast food. Even though Allman occasionally strains credulity by drawing bold conclusions from flimsy evidence, his arguments are nevertheless compelling and thought-provoking. -- Copyright 1994, Kirkus Associates, LP.

Gum in my Hair V 2.0 - How to Cope with Bullying

I was so excited to see that you are updating the Gum in My Hair video! I have used this video for about 10 years as part of anti-bullying workshops for elementary and middle school students. The students love the video's upbeat vibe but also learn valuable lessons. I have previewed many videos over the years but always return to this one because it lends to wonderful discussions and role plays without being overly dramatic and depressing. --Juliana Gallant, Anti-bullying Facilitator, Los AngelesGum in my Hair is outstanding!! Excellent for kids fast paced, exciting, and effective. It is a wonderful video for use with elementary- and junior high-age students. It offers strategies for both victims and bullies. --National Resource Center on Domestic ViolenceBullying is an all too common part of growing up. Some of us were hassled daily; others watched their friends get picked on, afraid to intervene. Sadly, our children are no more immune to bullying than were we. A new national survey found that 80 percent of U.S. children report being bullied at school.This is exactly what Twisted scholar is hoping to prevent with Gum in my Hair - How to Cope with a Bully. A 20-minute video aimed at 8- to 14- year-olds, it is designed to teach kids how to both recognize bullies and evade their grasp.Real testimonials from bullied kids make it easy for young viewers to relate. The video also offers five tangible techniques for avoiding the enemy, such as developing confident - and therefore deterring - body language. Co-host David Scratchley, Ph.D., a psychologist and well-known children's safety advocate, lends added credibility to the lessons.If shared among teachers and parents, Gum in my Hair has the potential to save lives. --Psychology Today Pepper Schwartz, Ph.D. - is Professor of Sociology at the University of Washington in Seattle.

One of the first and most popular anti-bullying videos, Gum in my Hair is back with a comprehensive update. Gum in my Hair Version 2.0 includes new research, all new interviews and new strategies for tackling the age-old problem of bullying in schools. Like the original, which is being used in thousands of schools across North America and Europe, Gum in my Hair v 2.0 is energetic, entertaining, and - most importantly - effective. Gum in my Hair v 2.0 incorporates new research that emphasizes: - The role of the bystander in fueling or defusing a bullying incident; - Empathy, and how teaching it can prevent bullying in the hallways; - Why it's important to focus on bullying rather than just the bully; - And the fact that having one or two friends or allies significantly reduces a child's chances of being bullied. Co-hosted by sociologist Pepper Schwartz, Ph.D. and Leslie Walker, M.D., experts in the field of adolescent behavior and bullying, Gum in my Hair v 2.0 is a must-have and must-watch for every elementary and middle-school anti-bullying program.

The Inner Weigh

Change Your Mind, Change Your Body A few years ago, I bought a dress for a New Years Eve party. It was form fitting, short, covered in aqua sequins. It wasn t the kind of dress I'd normally wear more like something I'd imagine Marilyn Monroe in but some friends and I were planning a festive event in a loft in Manhattan. For the party, I wanted to be the type of person who wore that dress. Only problem was, it was a little bit snug. It would not forgive a few pounds put on over the holidays in fact, it would prefer a few less pounds. So throughout that fall and early winter, every time I put a piece of food into my mouth, I thought about that dress. I didn't diet, or feel deprived. Instead, I felt excited, and made very careful choices. If a holiday cookie wasn t super-delicious, I didn't finish it. I didn't eat if I wasn't hungry, and stopped when I felt full. By the time New Year's Eve rolled around, I had actually lost a few pounds! The dress and the party were both exactly as I'd imagined. Without realizing it, I was applying something known as The Law of Attraction, which posits that you can attract things into your life by thinking about them. So by picturing myself in that sequined dress, my mind caused me to adopt behaviors that made it possible to actually wear the dress. While trendy books like The Secret have espoused this philosophy for years, there is actually some basis in science for a mind-over-matter approach. It's not just your thoughts: The very words you choose could be helping or hindering your weight goals, says Matthew B. James, MA, Ph.D., president of Kona University and an expert in ancient Hawaiian forgiveness and meditation techniques. We need to rethink our approach to labeling what we do, James says. I no longer say weight loss because I don t want to find it again. If you lose something, you are most likely going to find it! Think of something that you have lost, like your keys, your cell phone. What happens? You find it. Instead, James suggests weight reduction, or even better, weight donation. It feels good to donate, so go ahead and do it, James says, I'm sure that, somewhere in the universe, someone could use a little extra weight. So donate it and reduce it. James is one of the featured speakers in a new documentary called The Inner Weigh focused on The Law of Attraction and how to apply it to weight donation. The movie draws suggests a three-step process to defeat inner demons and imagine your way to a better body, denoted by the acronym FIT: Face yourself, Imagine yourself, Trust yourself. I have to admit, I was skeptical when I started watching the film, but it won me over with its positive, inspiring message. Most of the speakers have had their own struggles with weight, and their sincere you-can-do-it-too delivery made me want to be a healthier person. What the film said made sense if you continue to think of yourself as unathletic, or as someone who finds solace in cookies and chocolate, you'll remain on the couch, soothing yourself with bonbons after a rough day. Try thinking of the person you'd like to be, and what choices that person would make. I would like to be the person who fits into that sequined New Year's Eve dress again. Turns out that person really enjoyed soup and a salad for lunch today, and is happy drinking water instead of juice or soda. I'll keep you posted. --Jeanne O'Brien Coffey, Editor - New England Health AdvisoryEndorsed by Michael Beckwith, star of The Secret!The Inner Weigh provides factual evidence that the physical form is shaped by one s inner consciousness. This film offers a wise alternative to faddish products and instead supports the viewer in transforming emotional hungers into spiritual nourishment that creates peace of mind, heart, and spirit. --Michael Bernard Beckwith, author of Spiritual Liberation: Fulfilling Your Soul's DestinyEndorsed by Neale Donald Walsch, star of The Secret!The way you eat is an announcement of your decision about what you wish to do with your life and how long you wish to do it. The Inner Weigh can help you become the grandest version of the greatest vision you ve ever had about yourself. --Neale Donald Walsch, author of Conversations With God

The Curiosity of Chance

The Curiosity of Chance by director Russell P. Marleau is an excellent coming-of-age film perfect for the inner teenager in all of us. Think of it as a queer Pretty in Pink The Curiosity of Chance gets my vote for a GLAAD Media Award and should be required viewing in high schools everywhere, for the tolerance and fun of it. --Advocate.comLike all good 80s movies, The Curiosity of Chance dabbles in clichs, but its humanity makes the film a pleasure to watch. --Washington Blade It's the 80s once again, and the John Hughes-styled high school comedy gets a fresh twist in this touching, coming-of-age tale. New wave angst and gender-bending fashion are all the rage, but the new kid at school, Chance Marquis (Tad Hilgenbrinck of American Pie Presents: Band Camp) is trying to find new ways to stand out. Being an odd and somewhat awkward teenager makes him the target of the school bully. To deal with this dilemma, Chance turns to the opposite ends of the high school spectrum for help. On one side is the flamboyant drag queen and on the other, the varsity jock, Levi Sparks (Brett Chukerman of Eating Out 2) with whom Chance develops a unique friendship. Chock-full of the comic conventions of the high school genre the idiot faculty, the good-hearted but delusional parents, the fairy tale reversal of popularity The Curiosity of Chance is a frothy bit of nostalgic filmmaking. But knowing the genre doesn t mean its story won t also touch your heart, as Chance battles the bigots to make high school the diverse utopia it should have always been.

The vicar of Wakefield (Kenkyusha English classics)

Novel by Oliver Goldsmith, published in two volumes in 1766. The story, a portrait of village life, is narrated by Dr. Primrose, the title character, whose family endures many trials--including the loss of most of their money, the seduction of one daughter, the destruction of their home by fire, and the vicar's incarceration--before all is put right in the end. The novel's idealization of rural life, sentimental moralizing, and melodramatic incidents are countered by a sharp but good-natured irony. -- The Merriam-Webster Encyclopedia of Literature --This text refers to the Paperback edition. Oliver Goldsmith (1728 - 1774) was born in Ireland. Having studied at Trinity College, Dublin, he studied medicine at Edinburgh and Leyden after being rejected by the Church of Ireland. Settling in London, he was writing professionally by 1757 and became a friend of Johnson. Best known for She Stoops to Conquer, The Vicar of Wakefield is his only novel and is generally considered his finest work. Stephen Coote was educated at Magdalene College, Cambridge and Birkbeck College, University of London. He is the author of critical studies of Chaucer, T.S. Eliot and English literature of the Middle Ages, as well as biographies of Byron and William Morris. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Rhapsody: A Love Story

A devastatingly handsome concert pianist and connoisseur of love, Misha Levin agonizes for several hundred pages of this predictable novel trying to choose between two gorgeous women. Davis (Till the End of Time) keeps her intricate plot moving, but the love triangle is so stereotypical it distances drama. Russian-Jewish babe-magnet Misha has been transplanted to New York via Israel. He's a phenomenal success as a musician and is blessed, moreover, with incomparable sexual prowess, insatiable desires and a body that defines masculine perfection. His only problem is that he owns the hearts of two dazzling women, both of whom will do whatever it takes to get him. Elegant, intelligent, blond angel Vera Bunim, daughter of his ultra-wealthy benefactors, is Misha's first sweetheart, but he dumps her to sow his wild oats when he meets dark-haired Florida-born seductress Serena Gibbons. But Serena is an ambitious photographer who won't give up her career to raise a family. On the rebound, dejected Misha marries Vera and fathers a son, Nicky. Despite Vera's total devotion to Misha and his career, when Misha and Serena meet again eight years after they parted, the erstwhile lovers can't resist a fiery affair. Meanwhile, villains close in. Misha's agent, Manny Cygelman, has a diabolical deal with Brighton Beach goons; if he can't persuade Misha to tour Russia, the pianist's hands will get broken. And Vera's old boyfriend, crazy-with-jealousy Simon Hampton, wants to kill Misha. Misha's unbelievably noble parents, Sonia and Dmitri, hover nearby, ready to rise or recede as their wunderkind demands. Serena's agent, Coral Randolphe, has her own agenda: she's a stick-thin, ghostly pale lesbian in Manolo Blahnik heels. The vivace-paced story swings by Vienna, London and Kyoto, while brand-names often substitute for description and locales are as one-dimensional as the characters. Readers may notice that Misha's craft is virtually ignored throughout. It seems he's a musician only to whip up clich?d fantasies about his "great hands" that expertly play women like instruments. (Nov.) Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc. More music, this time from a concert pianist (complacently married) who reignites an old affair. Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc. For almost his entire life, pianist Misha Levin has been a star. He has been pampered by his parents, and adored by millions, and his superior musical talents have made him a legend in the classical music world and helped his family escape communist Russia for Israel. Impressed by his genius, the Bunims, a wealthy Russian Jewish family living in New York, pay for the Levins to move to the U.S. Misha soon falls in love with Vera, the Bunims' daughter, and their relationship simmers as a tender friendship. Then, after choosing a new agent, another Russian transplant named Manny, Misha's career soars. With bookings in the best concert halls all over the world, and lucrative recording contracts, Micha has complete confidence in Manny, but Vera is not so trusting of him--or Misha, once his former lover, Serena, comes back into his life. Gould does a wonderful job creating suspense, building a rich, layered history among her characters, and making her novel almost impossible to put down. Alexandra Shrake Once again, Gould (Till the End of Time, 1998, etc.) brokers soapy transactions among the very rich and gorgeous. Misha Levin, a six-foot-four-inch piano virtuoso with long black hair and a following like a rock stars, runs into an old flame in Vienna, where hes come to play a charity concert for the extraordinarily well-heeled. His ex-lover, Serena Gibbons, a superstar photographer with supermodel looks and long black hair as well, has also come to Vienna, in her case to shoot a group of European heads of state. Although Misha is married to stunningly beautiful, if blond-haired, Vera Bunim, the daughter of billionaire Russian migrs, he and Serena rekindle an affair at Austrias best hotels while eating lots of rich food and pastries. What broke up the two buff bodies in the first place was Serenas inability to commit and her refusal to compromise her successful career. Serena, who was sexually molested by all the male members of her family, has had a tough emotional row to hoe. As has Mishas family. They suffered many hardships in Russia, before immigrating to Manhattan, yet they have always been very loving and supportive of their gifted son. Still, while the faithful Vera waits for Misha to give up his philanderinghis mother tells her that Misha has always had trouble keeping his zipper upthe dark-haired beauties go at it like rabbits. In favor of the new romance is Mishas Russian-American agent, whos afraid the clearheaded Vera will twig to the fact that some pretty silly, pretty hairy Russian-American gangsters from Brighton Beach have been sponsoring Mishas career from the beginning. Slowly Misha realizes that Vera, with whom he shares a child and a love of antiques and good food, is still the one for him. Serena, conveniently, will have a fateful encounter with a land mine. Even with the dropping of some upscale labels you wont find in Jackie Collins, a fairly lackluster kitchen-sinker. -- Copyright 1999, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.

Readers may notice that Misha's craft is virtually ignored throughout. It seems he's a musician only to whip up clich?d fantasies about his "great hands" that expertly play women like instruments. (Nov.) Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc. More music, this time from a concert pianist (complacently married) who reignites an old affair. Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc. For almost his entire life, pianist Misha Levin has been a star. He has been pampered by his parents, and adored by millions, and his superior musical talents have made him a legend in the classical music world and helped his family escape communist Russia for Israel. Impressed by his genius, the Bunims, a wealthy Russian Jewish family living in New York, pay for the Levins to move to the U.S. Misha soon falls in love with Vera, the Bunims' daughter, and their relationship simmers as a tender friendship. Then, after choosing a new agent, another Russian transplant named Manny, Misha's career soars. With bookings in the best concert halls all over the world, and lucrative recording contracts, Micha has complete confidence in Manny, but Vera is not so trusting of him--or Misha, once his former lover, Serena, comes back into his life. Gould does a wonderful job creating suspense, building a rich, layered history among her characters, and making her novel almost impossible to put down. Alexandra Shrake Once again, Gould (Till the End of Time, 1998, etc.) brokers soapy transactions among the very rich and gorgeous. Misha Levin, a six-foot-four-inch piano virtuoso with long black hair and a following like a rock stars, runs into an old flame in Vienna, where hes come to play a charity concert for the extraordinarily well-heeled. His ex-lover, Serena Gibbons, a superstar photographer with supermodel looks and long black hair as well, has also come to Vienna, in her case to shoot a group of European heads of state. Although Misha is married to stunningly beautiful, if blond-haired, Vera Bunim, the daughter of billionaire Russian migrs, he and Serena rekindle an affair at Austrias best hotels while eating lots of rich food and pastries. What broke up the two buff bodies in the first place was Serenas inability to commit and her refusal to compromise her successful career. Serena, who was sexually molested by all the male members of her family, has had a tough emotional row to hoe. As has Mishas family. They suffered many hardships in Russia, before immigrating to Manhattan, yet they have always been very loving and supportive of their gifted son. Still, while the faithful Vera waits for Misha to give up his philanderinghis mother tells her that Misha has always had trouble keeping his zipper upthe dark-haired beauties go at it like rabbits. In favor of the new romance is Mishas Russian-American agent, whos afraid the clearheaded Vera will twig to the fact that some pretty silly, pretty hairy Russian-American gangsters from Brighton Beach have been sponsoring Mishas career from the beginning. Slowly Misha realizes that Vera, with whom he shares a child and a love of antiques and good food, is still the one for him. Serena, conveniently, will have a fateful encounter with a land mine. Even with the dropping of some upscale labels you wont find in Jackie Collins, a fairly lackluster kitchen-sinker. -- Copyright 1999, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.

Dancing With a Tiger: Poems 1941-1998

Like Robert Lax (1915-2001), Friend (1913-98) was an intentional American expatriate. Lax lived in rural Greece, Friend in Jerusalem from 1950 on. Lax was ascetic, a Catholic convert, and rather innocent (he once rented a pleasant, cheap room in, as acquaintances eventually apprised him, a bordello). Friend was a cosmopolitan, former Communist Jew, whose great achievement abroad was realizing his homosexuality. Lax's poetry resounds with the immanence of God and eternal significance. Friend's poems in this selection by fellow poet Edward Field are resolutely secular, personal, and quotidian (though when asked, he writes "A Prayer for Michael" movingly and convincingly, out of love rather than faith). The poems seem trivial, but Friend's common vocabulary, formal ease (with terza rima as well as free verse), and intimate tone make them--whether the immediate topic be a dead friend ("Three for Leah Goldberg"); lust ("Boy on a Bicycle"); or aging ("The Divorce")--the distinctive utterances of a person one is delighted and honored, even, to know. Ray OlsonCopyright American Library Association. All rights reserved A source of infinite aesthetic pleasure. I admire Friend's imagination, craft and the traditions in which he draws sustenance. -- Marie Giuriceo, Yonkers, New YorkClassic American 20th Century poetry by a neglected master...a poet of wit and tact...and charm -- Powells.comIn the main, Field has done a sterling job...There's a lapidary quality...reminiscent of A.E. Housman. -- Jewish Chronicle, August 1, 1002, review by Peter LawsonRobert Friend's poems are approachable, easy to get to terms with, yet have depths that can be explored endlessly. -- K.M. Dersley, Tears in the Fence, #36, Fall 2003We marvel at the striking poems of his last two years, facing death from cancer with sorrow, bravery, and wit. -- Shirley Kaufman, Jerusalem, January 2004 For more information on the life and work of Robert Friend, please contact his niece and copyright holder, Jean Shapiro Cantu, at bebeakitty@erols.com. Until Robert Friend translated his selection of Ra'hel's poems, they had defied every attempt to render them in English. Now, because of his own ability as a poet and because of a temperament congenial to hers, his translations make it possible for readers of English to understand why Ra'hel is so highly esteemed. Yehuda Amichai Poem from DANCING WITH A TIGER: Selected Poems 1941-1998, Edited by Edward Field (Spuyten Duyvil): HATRED: A SESTINA by Robert Friend Copyright Jean Shapiro Cantu for the Estate of Robert Friend Hatred is wanting to hurt and its fulfillment dancing on someone's grave. Because the insult was grave, I must repay hatred with hatred, abandon all pleasure: the dancing, the flirting, the wallowing wantings of every day. How drab their fulfillment when compared with the pleasure to hurt. I plan to avenge the hurt if it takes all my life to the grave. Revenge is the deepest fulfillment. I shall give myself to my hatred. No means too mean shall be wanting when the consummation is dancing. I dream day and night of that dancing. His death will not save him from hurt. There's more than a grave he'll be wanting when I get to dance on his grave, whirling in an orgy of hatred, stamping on his slab in fulfillment. But if I am to enjoy that fulfillment my thoughts must be spinning and dancing endlessly. What of my hatred's last rites: What shoes shall I wear to hurt in? What tune shall I dance to? Grave decisions. And how shall I get there? Wanting answers to all these. What a desolation of wanting that murders all other fulfillment. I might as well be in my grave. For under that frenzy of dancing whose body's writhing? Whose heart's mortally hurt? I am the corpse of my hatred. Dare I dig a grave for that hatred, abandon abandonment there, the terrible wanting to hurt? That thought itself is fulfillment. My heart, my heart begins dancing.

Divine Love

TIME RIGHT FOR DIVINE LOVE. JAMES KILBANE'S latest release 'Divine Love' is following in an Irish Country Gospel style, taking many of its influences from traditional Irish and Americian Gospel fused with Praise and Worship music. This style is richly blended with James' unique easy listening vocal style. Many of the fourteen tracks were chosen to reflect James' love for his Christian faith and his passion for songs that are at the centre of Americian and Irish Gospel music. DIVINE LOVE gives the listener the opportunity to hear James Kilbane's individuality in a way that he hasn't always done previous to this. The brilliant production gives every respect to the pure and total Gospel tracks as, 'The Miracle of the Rosary', 'It Is No Secret', 'My Forever Friend' and 'Morning Has Broken'. DIVINE LOVE sees James Kilbane once again at his very best and is a soothing and inspiring album that is a must for any good music lover. --The Daily Irish Mirror.KILBANE INSPIRATION In recent time there has been an increase in the number of gospel style albums from Irish singers and James Kilbane continues in this vein. It is nice to note that unlike some artists who are not contracted to a major label, this has not resulted in him cutting corners. Everything about 'Divine Love' is as professional as if it had the backing of some multi national record company, which is the way it should be. With 'Divine Love' the production is top class and so is the sleeve design. Here is one Irish artist who realises that to compete with the products in the market from the multi national companies you must present a CD that is of similar standard. This is a strong West of Ireland production! All in all this is a good quality production and for those who like inspirational music 'Divine Love' is well worth checking out. --The Galway HearldSONGS OF PRAISE MORNING has broken on Achill Islander James Kilbane and he is celebrating with his new songs of praise album, 'Divine Love'. For the 'You're A Star' finalist, it is time to give thanks for the blessings that have come his way! DIVINE LOVE is from the heart and it will find a niche in the market for Gospel and Inspirational music. Following a true path is what this album is all about. James told us, "Recording this album was a very special and enjoyable experience. Personally, I am so happy to have got the opportunity to record such a beautiful album and I hope all who may hear it will enjoy it" "The Christian Faith has always played an important part in my life and everywhere we went on tour people are touched by the spiritual and gospel songs that I sing. These songs move people in a very positive way." James told us. --Stepping Out (The Irish Country Music Newspaper) Gospel, Praise and Worship. Easy Listening.
