Spring Journal, 2007

A Book for Everyone
Lara Newton's book, "Brothers and Sisters: Discovering the Psychology of Companionship" is a rare thing. It is a new kind of psychology book. After all, there have been so many psychology books over the years, studies of children and parents, husbands and wives, abusers and victims, bosses and workers, friends and lovers... you name it, and there is probably a psychology book about it. Or two or ...

As close to war as a civilian will get
This is a powerful book that describes what it was like to be a grunt on the front lines of vietnam. It is unique as it was the first book to discuss the use of dogs to assist in sensing the enemy and their weapons. This brings you to the front lines for a first hand look while also showing the emotions that are involved. It gives a look at how the army really works not only in combat ...

PURE ADVENTURE!!
Great Book! Written by the explorer himself, the story comes 'straight from the horse's mouth' telling of the his expedition to Greenland in the early 1900's. Seeing inside the lives of Mikkelsen and his companion, Iversen during this expedition makes me wonder if anyone today in our soft, comfortable life could ever endure what they did. Their outlook and physical stamina during their ...

The Cat Who Loved Christmas

2 reviews, 2007

A must for any animal lover
This warm 'tail' transcends the holiday spirit to capture the bond between a cat and their owners that many a reader will instantly identify with. Made all the more poignant as it highlights the insecurities and loneliness of a special needs pet. Who benefits the most out of this gift of the relationship is hard to tell!
