Teachers College Press, 2001

Excellent Book!
Any one interested in creating an education system that is child centered, flexible and interesting should read this book. The Met, a public highschool in Providence, RI., is the focus of a 2 year study by the author that culminated in this book. This is a special place where real learning takes place and children are valued for their interests and their individualism. It almost makes me want ...

The Future of Democracy: Developing the Next Generation of American Citizens (Civil Society: Historical and ...
Peter Levine

Tufts, 2007

We need young people to be civically engaged in order to define and address public problems. Their participation is important for democracy, for institutions such as schools, and for young people themselves, who are more likely to succeed in life if they are engaged in their communities. In The Future of Democracy, Peter Levine, scholar and practitioner, sounds the alarm: in recent years, young Americans have become dangerously less engaged. ...

Frog Books, 2005

Essoteric learn put into practice...
A lot of reviews get written by friends as a favor to the author - they of course never admit it! I am happy to admit I've known the author for over 25 years and watched him spend decades intensely pursuing his spiritual growth in meditation and study. While many spiritual seeker seek enlightenment, I have seen few actually implement real change in their lives - here and now. John Taylor ...

New hope for those who suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
I am a Marriage Family Therapist Trainee who has suffered from severe Post Traumatic Stress Disorder for over 15 years. Western medicine includes some form of medication and desensitization from the traumatic event. Although this treatment has been helpful, I believed that my PTSD symptoms were a life-sentence, which included anxiety, fear, phobia's, bodily sensations, depression and a sense of ...

The Dinosaur Tamer : And Other Stories for Children with Diabetes

Marcia Levine Mazur, Peter Banks, ...

American Diabetes Association, 1996

Even older kids still need our help
This book is aimed at ages 8-13 or so. We read this book to our six-year-old son. If not for that, I don't know if I would have ever read it. All the main characters in the stories have type 1 diabetes. The characters encounter different situations where they have to learn to control their diabetes or ASK FOR HELP. I recommend that parents read this book. What struck me the most, was how ...

Emperor Huizong and Late Northern Song China: The Politics of Culture and the Culture of Politics (Harvard ...

Harvard University Asia Center, 2006

Huizong was an exceptional emperor who lived through momentous times. A man of many talents, he wrote poetry and created his own distinctive calligraphy style; collected paintings, calligraphies, and antiquities on a large scale; promoted Daoism; and involved himself in the training of court artists, the layout of gardens, and reforms of music and medicine. The quarter century when Huizong ruled is just as fascinating. The greatly enlarged ...

Victims of Cruelty: Somatic Psychotherapy in the Healing of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder

3 reviews
Maryanna Eckberg

North Atlantic Books, 2000

great book, highly recommended
This is the best book on PTSD I have read. I found the spiritual and psychological insights uplifting. It is a powerful read. As the previous critic stated, it is not a "technical" book with exact somatic therapy techniques listed. I did not find it extremely upsetting that the Author and one of her most important clients had passed away, death is an inevitable part of life. Although I ...

A. G. Spalding and the Rise of Baseball: The Promise of American Sport

1 review
Peter Levine

Oxford University Press, USA, 1986

Very dry look at the business side of baseball
For the fan interested in the origins of baseball, this dry account is very likely of interest only to professional historians and Spalding family descendants. The playing days of the main character cover only two short chapters and never evince or even try for any excitement. The remainder covers Spalding's activities as a businessman, promoter, owner, baseball mogul, supporter of the ...

This book was great!
I just finished "The Deliberative Democracy Handbook" and recommend it as a welcome addition to interdisciplinary studies of researchers, policy-makers,students, and practitioners. In explaining the course of national deliberation and its history, Gastil and Levine present a well-argued history of civic engagement that includes transnational, grass-roots, and bureaucratic dialogues. Noting that ...

Sexual Healing: Transforming the Sacred Wound

3 reviews
Peter A. Levine

Sounds True, 2003

focused on the body, socially naive
Like his first work, which goes into much more detail, this audioCD focuses on body processes. One is encouraged to stay with the body and trust the flow of energies and creating safe spaces. The excercises are simple but powerful. They are general body excercises, not specific to localized sexual trauma. Far more excercises on this audioCD than anecdotes. Sometimes I felt the excercises are ...
