This book is intended as a memorial to the artist, Susan Seddon Boulet, who died in 1997. The author selected Boulet's powerful paintings of bears as symbolic of her life and spirit.

There are 43 paintings and drawings of bears representing a fine cross-section of Boulet's work. These are integrated with a complete biography, career history and analysis of the individual paintings.

Boulet's bears are nurturing, protective, healing and powerful, never violent. They reflect the bear's place in the Shamanic and native cultures upon which her art is based. The paintings are beautiful and emotional.

I have long admired and enjoyed Boulet's art and this is my favorite book on her work. I love the paintings and the messages of peace and hope they convey.

I liked reading this book for my accounting 101 class. The text is clear, well organized and well written. The typography makes liberal use of color, which makes reading _much_ easier when compared to a monochrome textbook. There are copious examples, illustrations and exercises. The book comes with a workbook (purchased separately) which contains template pages to write in your answers (trust me, you will need it). All chapters are grounded in current reality -- the authors make a point of tying the concepts to real-life situations.

On the cons, the 2002 edition deals with 2000 data -- their production process needs to be speeded up.

I think that a thorough review of this text will give the reader an excellent start in basic accounting.

It is very difficult to find a nice vocabulary book that is arranged by the root of the word. This book is small enough to carry around with me. Those quizes are very helpful.

This book has creative ideas to make your children's church fun and a great learning experience for your kids. It is easy for a teacher to follow and the ideas really work to catch the kids interest. My group is memorizing scripture now...completing the power pages (homework pages) and bringing them back for prizes. I am even hearing comments from parents that their kids can't hardly wait to come and be there. Thanks, Susan Lingo for your work in putting this together it certainly has been a help!

This book will give you a view of what we all want but very few attain. It examines the "hard work" that is the essential element in a long-term relationship. There is no magic, just the facts. This is required reading for the journey. A great anniversary gift to a couple that is on the right track. Give with "The Intimacy Dance".

Eilenberg's book opens the complex and fascinating topic of intellectual property, in addition to providing brilliant readings of the major poems of these two seminal Romantic poets.

This is a great book, giving a balanced pespective on the practice and surrounding aspects of Tai Chi. If you practice Tai Chi and have been looking at the books available, then you probably understand that style specific content isn't very useful for most of us. The differences in styles and instructors combined with the non-photogenic nature of Tai Chi make the photo sections all but useless. This book doesn't spend a lot of time trying to teach the specific movements, but how to feel when doing them. This is the best part of any Tai Chi book, and Horwitz's book has plenty of it. I have been practicing Wu style Tai Chi for 14 years, and am currently working on a College project on my studies.

I suspect a microencephalic aardvark has more psychic ability than I do, but I looked at this book to see if there was any help for over-educated but psychically benighted Neanderthals like myself. Unfortunately, they don't tell you know to acquire these esoteric abilities, but for those lucky souls who already possess mental powers far beyond those of us mere mortals, this book is full of interesting tests if you want to test your psychic quotient, so to speak.

This is a book filled with positive statements, short and long. They are grouped by topic, and make a great companion to other Jeffers self-help books. When I'm feeling blue, or when I just want a refresher in some of Susan's positive ideas, I just start reading through this book. It is amazing how encouraging different statements can be at different times.

Here are some samples chosen at random from the book: "Allow yourself confusion as you walk through life. It is our way of sorting things out. It is through confusion that we finally come to clarity." Or another: "When in the center of your Higher Self, you always have the best seat! It's always your party! The source of our love comes from within. No one out there is that source. It makes sense to go to the source." Another: "No matter what is going on in your life, you always have to remind yourself 'I am a strong, loving, and worthy person.' All situations in life flow harmoniously from this profound understanding of who you are." And so on. I highly recommend this book as a companion to Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway, along with Feel the Fear and Beyond.

This book has been wonderful for our Christian Sunday School. Our students range fron ages 6-10. The content is easily adapted for all children in the age range and our teachers have been very excited. What an opportunity to teach values based on biblical principles. The book allows three weeks to study and learn each memory verse and has great Power Pages to send home when class is over. This allows parents to be involved with their children, taking God's word home to their families to be discussed during the week. Our Pastor has been so inspired by the curriculum that he is thinking of basing his sermons on the lessons for the next 8 weeks! I recommend this book highly for people who are interested in teaching their children biblical values.
