The semi-autobiographical format of this charming book makes it a must for any student of astrology, no matter their level of expertise. It is especially meaningful for those with an interest in Jungian depth psychology or the therapy process. It provides a wonderfully warm and humorous introduction to astrology without the common cookbook format which can be so exceedingly boring, yet can be enjoyed just as thoroughly by those with any level of astrological knowledge.

While in Monterey, MA visiting my in-laws, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that Alice Howell was their neighbor. A meeting was arranged and I spent a delightful time sharing afternoon tea with her and being regaled with wonderful antecdotes that so reminded me of this favorite book of mine.

My own copy is well worn and profusely highlighted and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in a profoundly insightful and valuable addition to their astrological library.

In Power Angels On Assignment young readers are introduced to Cinnamon, a little angel girl that is called upon by God to carry out an important assignment in answering the prayer of a little boy on Earth called Jake. Author Marsha Johnson's engaging and heart-warming story is wonderfully illustrated in full color by master artist Mark McIntyre. Power Angels On Assignment is a superbly presented and enthusiastically recommended picturebook story that will be a particular delight for children whose parents seek Christian oriented storytelling for bedtime bonding or just quiet time fun. It is to be devoutly hoped that more of these charming "Power Angels" picturebook stories will soon be available.

Kenneth Josephson's Retrospective is a phenomenal view of life through the artistic eye of black and white photography. Josephson's pictures-within-pictures are interesting and fresh, a new take on a theme that others have tried, but not mastered as well as Josephson. If you like black and white photography, this book is a must. I saw the exhibit at the Whitney in NYC, and purchased the book afterwards. Unlike some photography books, where the pages don't capture the magic imparted by the prints when seen in person, this one does -- beautifully.

My daughter has had this book out of the school library since the begining of the school year. Her review: This is an excellent book.It tells about how to ride and care for horses and ponies. It has lots of great pictures,too! I have learned alot about the animals that I love. I love this book!...Cati(4th grade).

Land of the Four Winds is a wonderful story, which I read to my son again and again. He loves the young hero, Toneih, and the beautiful illustrations of the land with color. I highly recommend this book. Congratulations to Veronica Freeman Ellis--we look forward to her next stories!

This volume includes forty-six fun arrangements of familiar Lennon and McCartney tunes. All are arranged for both lever and pedal harp. Some have only a few lever or pedal changes, while others are more involved. Chord symbols, all the words, and a discography are also included. This volume is highly recommended for intermediate to advanced students and professionals alike.

This book gives an great insight into the mind of one the most incredible writers ever. All her thoughts and feelings are expressed so wonderfully. Even in her letters she keeps the same dry wit and rage that draws so many people to her. She was an incredible writer and this is just another example of her fine work.

This is a wonderful book to read to a child after having lost any loved one, particularly a grandparent. A very sweet, gentle tale that will help bring solace and understanding to a child. Grandma may not be here with us now, but if we look to the stars each night, we will find her always shining (and smiling) down on us.



The Listening Hand touched me in more ways then one. Ilana Rubenfeld, the creator and "mother-master" of the Rubenfeld Synergy Method, is a clear stand that traditional talk therapies, while effective, are incomplete without the power of touch. Not just any touch, but the Rubenfeld Synergy Method, which she developed over many years, working with an impressive list of mainstream therapists. The book uses many illustrations from her professional practice, but is not so filled with second hand accounts that they become tedious. It is written in such a manner that it is easily understood by lay persons and those not in the field, yet in no way does it feel condescending in tone nor over simplified in its explanation of the nature of the method nor its efficacy. Rubenfeld's writing tone, her clearly constructed sentences, even her picture on the jacket cover, all led me to a space where I could identify with her unique combination of touch and talk. I could imagine her touch, and realize her personal warmth in this book. This was particularly helpful, as you are transported to a safe space while you are reading. Many of the examples from her patients are followed by exercises which can be done either solo or with a partner. Not normally an interactive reader, I found that I was "feeling" through the exercises as I read them.. Even if you are not plagued by physical ailments, nor emotional upsets, there appears to be extreme value in reading The Listening Hand, solo or with a partner with whom you would like to reach a new and highly sensitized level of communication.

Sylvia Walker did a wonderful job with this, about 3 inch by 5 inch, paper doll. This has several pages of doll costumes representing different Caribbean nations with a national costume, for instance Carnival Costumes including headwear. This is a great little teaching tool. The costumes are very colorful and on slick paper. They make wonderful place cards at birthday parties, the book itself is a great stocking stuffer or party favor.

This is the best out of several of the Sylvia Walker series that I have purchased.
