Decoupage: A Practical Step-by-Step Guide 1 review
Denise Thomas, Mary Fox
Trafalgar Square Books, 2003
Great book, but make sure you don't already have it
So as to not duplicate a book purchase: this is the softcopy of the hard cover "Practical Decoupage" published in 1993. It is a wonderful book with great photographs and ideas.

Mary Thomas's Book of Knitting Patterns 17 reviews
Mary Thomas
Dover Publications, 1972
Much more than a dictionary of stitches
This book is the Swiss Army Knife of knitting - many tools for many purposes in one compact package, and still coming in useful after all these years - a real classic.
Mary Thomas explains how all knitting stitches and patterns work. Her description of increases and decreases (and their uses, both decorative and functional) is the clearest I have seen anywhere.
There aren't "projects" here, ...

Free to Be...You and Me24 reviews
Marlo Thomas, Gloria Steinem
McGraw-Hill Inc.,US, 1974
My childhood favorite is now my daughters' favorite
I'm convinced that I grew up to be a feminist, independent thinker, and lawyer - open to people from all backgrounds - because of Free to Be You and Me. The issues and songs and images are just as relevant today. It's fun for me to watch and hear the celebrities I grew up knowing and my young daughters don't know it's dated - bell bottoms do not deter them from the wonderful messages in these ...

Augustin-Michel Lemonnier Presents Light over the Scaffold: Prison Letters of Jacques Fesch and Cell 18 : ...1 review
Jacques Fesch, Augustin-Michel Lemonnier
Alba House, 1996
Real insight into conversion in prison
To read this actual account, private letters of a condemned man, and to understand the emotional struggles in the conversion process, in real life, not fiction is both moving and powerful. Few words can describe the character and growth and maturity of Jacques in his last years and month and days

Mary Thomas's Knitting Book13 reviews
Mary Thomas
Dover Publications, 1972
The MOST Comprehensive Knitting Book
I've taken my time between receiving the book and writing this review. This book has so much going for it I didn't know where to start. This is so information packed with techniques that I thought were "new" such as knitting with beads, looped knitting and felting.
I know how tempting those big books with all the beautiful color pictures are but you'd pay three, four or five times as much as ...

DICTIONARY OF EMBROIDERY STITCHES21 reviews
MARY THOMAS
HODDER STOUGHTON LTD, 1971
Easy to follow directions
This book on embroidery was just what I needed. The diagrams are easy to follow, the book has a lot of different stitches, and tells you what the stitches are mostly used for. This is a good book for a beginner and reference for the experienced.

Georgette Heyer: A Critical Retrospective5 reviews
Mary Fahnestock Thomas
Prinnyworld Press, 2001
Long Overdue!
Georgette Heyer gets no respect. Reviled by both feminists and literati, her work has been consigned to a small neighborhood in the literary ghetto that is romance fiction. What a sorry fate for a woman whose craftsmanlike prose, unerring eye for the absurd, and genuine wit have delighted loyal readers for 80 years! Heyer is often compared to Jane Austen, as both wrote novels set in the ...

Religious and Spiritual Issues in Counseling
Mary Thomas Burke, Jane C. Chauvin, ...
Brunner-Routledge, 2003
There has long been an underlying sense of inadequacy felt among counselors and mental health professionals in dealing with the many varied issues surrounding spirituality and/or religion that clients may bring to counseling. Hesitancies on the part of the therapist to deal with these issues in counseling may be due in part to fears of imposing one's own values and beliefs on the client or fear of violating ethical principals. Religious and ...

The Sources of Christian Ethics4 reviews
Servais Pinckaers
Catholic University of America Press, 1995
Morality as Freedom for Excellence
Have you ever been to a class on Morality or Ethics at a Church or School, and you were basically told a bunch of "do's and don'ts?" Fr. Pinckaers finally revealed to me why so many leave the Church and why so many are bored with Morality. He traces for us a brief history of Ethics and Morality and shows how people like William of Ockham and Immanuel Kant destroyed morality by focusing on the ...

Shakespeare's Brain2 reviews
Mary Thomas Crane
Princeton University Press, 2000
very exciting book
At the first time, I can meet contemporary philosophers' theory such like Deleuze, Lacan, Kleine, etc. The field of this book is very extensive as well as micro-prospective. Its style is that the differences of some words between then and now age are introduced, and the author explains diffences between their consciousness and ours. Shakespeare examined words people used in various ways. The ...

The Great Work: Our Way into the Future 12 reviews
Thomas Berry
Harmony, 1999
One of the Great Prophetic Minds of our age!
Tom Berry has been called the "Bard of the New Cosmology" and so he is! His thoughts challenge those rooted in authoritarian structures and flatland awareness. His views challenge those who find extreme security in their myths and dogmatic positions. These people have made a career of striking back with an authoritarian thunder when challenged with a more comprehensive unfolding of the Cosmos. ...
