Coming Into Being: Artifacts and Texts in the Evolution of Consciousness
8 reviews
William Irwin Thompson
Palgrave Macmillan
, 1998
Vintage Thompson Mind-Jazz
Reading this book is a bit like watching a Baz Lurhrmann film like "Moulin Rouge" or "William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet." Although the text, superficially, is the printed record of a 1992-1994 lecture series, the lectures themselves were not designed as a linear narrative exposition, but in Thompson's words, operated as a form of mind-jazz -- an improvisational riff on ancient texts. The ...

"Now ,don't go getting above buttermilk."
I've not heard the above saying before,but knew immediately exactly what it meant.This book is an excellent review of what it means to be Irish and what Irish,and particularly Catholic Irish is all about. There are over 50 million scattered around the world who claim Irish ancestory;and by no means are they all alike. "Almost anything you can say about Irish Americans is both true and ...

6 reviews
Chronicle Books
, 2000
An Excellent, Well Written Book
I whole-heartedly recommend this book. I also have "The Book of Alternative Photographic Processes" by Christopher James, another good book, but I always go back to "Coming into Focus". This book is laid out in a very accessible manner, each section is written clearly and concisely, and the processes are described so that you understand and can start experimenting almost immediately (once you ...

Into the Widening World: International Coming-Of-Age Stories

Persea Books
, 1994
startling stories
While searching for texts for a class I teach called International Short Stories, I came across and ordered this book, along with two others, on the basis of stories and writers in this book I knew I wanted to use. I got far more than I expected. This book is proof that an editor can make an incredible difference. Rather than select obvious stories, ones continually anthologized, John ...
Coming into the Country

John McPhee
Farrar, Straus and Giroux
, 1991
Gets better with each read!
We bought this book in Nome, Alaska on a visit there in 2001 (my brother owns a flying service there). I took my time reading it the first time. Coming into the Country is not a book to be read quickly, but, rather, one to be savored, taking time for the details to seep into the crevices of one's memory until they become part of one's knowledge base. Every page holds a vast amount of information ...

DeAnna L'am provides easy-to-do and exciting activities that girls and women can engage in together that truly lead to the enhancement of a girl's self-esteem ...
