This book is the most inspiring I've ever read. Anderson describes the many facets of humankind's creative energy. He focuses not simply on the "heroic" aspect of the creation of art works, but also on the nature of enjoyment, the role of audiences, shifts of perception, and attunement to metaphor. Anderson explores the topic through what he calls the "great memory", his metaphor for civilization's constant rediscovery of the collective creative endeavors of prior civilizations, such as the Renaissance's rediscovery, and reappropriation, of classical civilization. In his narrative Anderson covers the art, religion, and science of all the world's great civilizations. His style can be challenging to absorb at times, as it borders on the poetic, but it is well worth the effort.

A man before his time, H. W. Tilman changed the history of mountaineering by creating an ethic of the small, compact team attempting to summit high peaks and sail remote seas.

Found this book to be an easy-to-read basic Roman Catholic catechism.

Dr. Pitmans book was very well written. It made me understand the whole process behind Liposuction and it does not make me feel afraid to embark on that journey if I ever need it in the future. A very intelligent man with lots and lots of enthusiasm and professionalism.

This little booklet gives a great overview of Laura's life as an adult. Loved it!

I cannot buy this book, but I want to read some of its contents. Please reply!

This book gives background information for many of the songs that Laura quotes in her books. Music was an important part of Laura's family life, and if you always wondered what those tunes sounded like, this book and cassette are for you!

This book should be made of glass rather than paper. I read through this book and saw the lives, the greed, the desperation, and the joy of people long since dead. "Night of the Silent Drums" brings the history of the bloody 1733 St. Jan, Dansk Vestindia slave revolt to the present. The Virgin Islands' drought that year was the only thing dry about this book. And it succeeds without couching our preconceived notions of slavery or slaves, plantations or masters, by telling the truth as well as the facts. This work is gratefully and substantially more than ink on paper. When you pick up this one you will become more of a witness than a reader

Mr. Anderson serves up an engaging, entertaining, and insightful peeks into the life and times of living the RV life. Some great laughs, a few serious moments, and lots of human being! Once begun, one is drawn to the next page and then the next.

An excellent book. during the time these notes were taken, the Canadian Government outlaw these practices. Every single person depicted could have been arrested...I am very glad the UBC decided to print this book simply due to that fact.
For those who are interested, there is a very good time line history of the Gitxsan nation and Gitsegukla, which is situated in the heart of the Gitxsan territory.
