The authors make it clear that Toomer rejected the racist ideologies of both 'blackness' and 'whiteness':

"And he had lived among blacks, among whites, among Jews, and in groups organized without racial labels around a shared interest such as literature or psychology, moving freely from any one of these groups to any other. One mark of membership in the 'colored' group, he said, was acceptance of the 'color line' with its attendant expectations; neither his family nor he had ever been so bound. To be in the white group would also imply the exclusion of the other."

It's a great book!

This is a great book focusing on a man who had the courage to reject society's efforts to impose a "racial" identity upon him. He steadfastly refused to be labeled "colored" (black) or "white" and considered classification the nemesis of mankind, a reflection of intellectual empty-headedness. A quote from the book: "Thus Toomer propounded the rather unpopular view that the racial issue in America would be resolved only when white America could accept the fact that its racial 'purity' was a myth, that indeed its racial isolation produced blandness and lack of character. On the other hand, racial purity among blacks was just as much a myth and only encouraged defensiveness and unconscious imitation, like that of an adolescent who defines his revolt against his parents by the very values he is trying to renounce. Race, he said, was a fictional construct, of no use for understanding people." We need more people like Jean Toomer today!

We can all use help in understanding enzymes. They control every aspect of our body from the digestion of our foods to the loss of our hair. For years i have been taking food enzymes with my meals. I really feel like they are helping me.

This book claims that the older we get, the less enzymes our body manufactures. This being said, i feel like we need to help our body with this problem by taking supplements.

There is is talk that enzymes might prevent cancer since they help us better handle our foods. There still needs to be more research on cancer, to determine what role enzymes play in the prevention of it.

I WOULD STRONGLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK.

I bought this book in London; it is the same one that you feature, although it has a different ISBN number. Amazing details about a man that the world met when we lost his beloved sister. Beautiful pictures, including one with Diana, their mother, Earl Spencer, his wife, and their children -- talking casually on a street in London. Also features an amazing picture of Charles Spencer and Prince Charles (with Nelson Mandela) in Cape Town in November of 1997. Very historical photo!!

How To Live In The Kingdom Of God is especially recommended for anyone seeking to satisfy their spiritual hunger for a deeper understanding of what the Kingdom of God can mean to them and for them as they live out the days of their lives here on earth.

This book goes into a visual comparision of the powerful Western World and the rest of the World. It depicts through pictures and statistics the growing gap between the have and the have-nots. Very powerful yet still a coffee table book.

Clear and concise! An adventure in reading and very historically accurate! This is a must read for history buffs (especially Elizabethan!)

I am looking for a fictional book which I believe is about Strongbow. The book has a stylized "strongbow" figure on the cover in yellow or gold. The story is basically this: the main character (Strongbow? or someone deluded into believing he is Strongbow?)gets tired of life, strips naked and leaves to travel the world while attending a party for the Queen. Once in the middle east, he swims oceans and walks across deserts while deep in thought. He enjoys a simple nomadic life with a bedouin wife and fathers children by her. If I remember correctly, he has a very long life .. or does not ever die. Don't know authors name, nor the book's title. Can anyone help me find it? I read it in 1986 and gave it away .. not realizing I really enjoyed and should have kept it!
