Excellent introductory new age primer
This book does an excellent job at providing an introductory overview of a large number of "new age" topics in an easy-to-read style. Reincarnation, crystals, chakras, channeling, meditation, auras, lost civilazations and the evolution of religion are covered clearly and simply. The authors (Bartlett and Whiteheart) have many years of experience in the subjects they discuss, and their passion and enthusiasm shines through!

Too valuable to leave on a shelf--Balancing on the Wire
Packed with historical context, supporting research and the comfortable style of a confident writer, this book is an invaluable resource for anyone who finds themself thrust into the precarious position of media management. It is also currently used as a college textbook for graduate-level journalism.
All major dimensions of management are addressed in this authoritative work. From the "evolution of a Free Press" and the role of "motivational fit" to corporate financial budgeting and legal regulations of libel and the Federal Communication Commission, "Balancing on the Wire" gives its readers a broad view and an insider's edge into the dynamic world of media leadership.
For those who've worked inside an adrenalin-soaked broadcast station or a raw-nerve newsroom, slip a copy of this humanistic survival guide into the holiday stocking of the company's CEO or your favorite upper-level Scrooge. It's a spoonful of potent medicine that mixes common sense and artistic inspiration in just the right pleasing proportions.
Cheers to Redmond and Trager for making special a topic that is hackneyed by the pseudo-bestsellers of MBAs in retirement.

Big Bend Pictures
The Big Bend area of West Texas is both seductive and elusive to visitors. The immense scale, loneliness and beauty of the desert scenery can immediately charm any visitor to this remote borderland, and many books have succeeded in extolling these virtues. However, the human denizens of the Big Bend can be quirky lot, with a big dose of individuality an apparent requirement for remaining in these parts for very long.
In this new large-format book, James Evans has succeeded admirably in capturing for the viewer the essence of the human dimension of this vast land. Yes there are panoramas and thunderstorms on these pages, but it's the direct and intimate portraits of the people that will capture your attention. Elderly ranchers (and ranch women), young children, Anglos, Hispanics, funerals, dances, homes, animals - all powerful and direct visual statements. Many of these scenes aren't pretty. There's grit and violence, poverty, sadness; but it's all real. Evans has spent the past 15 years living in the Big Bend (he has a studio and gallery in tiny Marathon, TX), taking time to really know his subjects, gaining their trust, opening a window of truth before his lens. As a regular visitor to these parts, I feel Evans has finally captured the real essence of this amazing region for all of us Big Bend lovers to enjoy.
There are 102 duotone photographs, most are full or double page. A real bonus is James' comments about each photograph in the rear appendix. It is there we come to understand a little more about each of his subjects, and ultimately a bit about Evans as well. And good value, too; lots of book here for the quite reasonable price. And I like the horned lizard endpapers.

an excellent and much-enjoyed book
This is a very smooth and well-written account of British political events during the years indicated in the sub-title. I found it exceptionally well done and a really enjoyable read. Anyone who wants to study the momentous years covered by this book could not help but be fascinated and informed by this very excellent study. I admit I read it in 1985 but the memory of it has lingered all these years since.

One of the best and most trusted editions of the complete poems and songs of Robert Burns (1759-1796). Try to get one, if you can. (N.B.: The James Barke edition is also excellent.)

a must read for the crime enthusiast
This book is a must read for any person who is seriously interested in the history of crime in our country. This book covers not only the most notorious criminals, but also hits on many other less-well-known criminals who really do prove that crime does not pay. Very well written and researched !!
