Dweller on Two Planets 13 reviews
Phylos
Borden Pub Co, 1980
Amazing Book
This book is worth a read. It lends validity to the concept of channeled literature as it is a rather complex, in-depth book. The voice of Phylos is clearly distinct from that of the young author who was his scribe. You will find a wisdom seldom seen in books these days.

Carol McAdams Moore
Innovative Kids, 2007
Great for one or a more young readers
This was our first Phonic Comic. It has my son so exicited about reading, I immediately bought more. He loves acting out the characters and trying new voices for each. My 5 year old and his cousins enjoy this book and the other phonics comics. They want to read these over and over. The only problem we have is the kids deciding who is going to play who in the drama they produce with each ...

Christopher Penczak
Red Wheel/Weiser, 2001
The Urban Landscape Transformed!
'City Magick' by Christopher Penczak is one of the most enjoyable, original and inventive books on witchcraft/magic that I have read in quite sometime. In clear, concise terminology Penczak walks us through the urban landscape finding magical potential in all we encounter, proving once and for all that the three R's; Reality - Rapture - Ritual, applies to the bright city lights of the concrete ...

Akhenaten: Dweller in Truth A Novel 30 reviews
Naguib Mahfouz, Tagreid Abu-Hassabo
Anchor, 2000
Akhenaten: Dweller in Truth
If you are interested in Egyptian history, particularly the enigmatic Akhenaten -- the pharoah who attempted to convert his people to mono-theism -- you will enjoy this novel. Interesting theory, even if you don't agree with the premise. Mahfouz's writing is, as always, excellent.

Cities and the Creative Class 1 review
Richard Florida
Routledge, 2004
This book is lousy
My hunch is this is a cheap sequel. Not a lot of discussion, just a lot of (regression) results reporting. Extremely repetitive. Moreover, given that this often verves into being fairly social science (as opposed to pop), the causal linkages seem pretty poorly established. If you want to read this for professional reasons (social science or urban planning), most of this could be ignored; if ...

Ancient Peoples of the American Southwest, Second Edition (Ancient Peoples and Places)4 reviews
Stephen Plog
Thames & Hudson, 2008
Good survey of the American SW
I enjoyed this volume because I lived briefly in Arizona and saw some of the ruins (Montezuma Castle and Tuzigoot National Monument) mentioned. I had read a book on Monte Verde as a child but other than this modest brush with SW archaeology, I knew little or nothing about the prehistory of the area. This volume was a good place to start for information about the material data available and ...

Little Grunt and the Big Egg: A Prehistoric Fairy Tale1 review
Puffin, 2008
Very enjoyable book for kids
This is a great story. It's creative yet simple with the essential elements a good kids' book needs. This book would be especially fun for the kid fascinated by dinosaurs. We learned of the book from our local library as we have checked out Tomie DePaola books before and enjoyed them. My daughter loves it as do I. I highly recommend it!

Sam Barone
William Morrow, 2007
A New Master!
Sam Barone is the writer I have been waiting for! Ever since James Michener died, I have been looking for a writer who could bring me back in time the way Mr. Michener did. His characters are believable and the story is exciting from beginning to end. I haven't yet read the first book of the series, but it didn't matter. There is a way to make each book of a series stand alone and Mr. Barone ...

Swami Panchadasi
Book Tree, 2000
SMALL and captivating
I want to say it again, this book is tiny (just incase you haven't read the dimensions yet), but a fascinating read. This book is written a little cryptically as it seems was the fasion back in the twentys, and for the obvious time differance it is also written the formal english of the time. So because of my other research on the subject some of the first few chapters seemed to be miss leading ...

Kyle Ezell tells you how to find the right neighborhood for your personality and teaches you the basic survival skills you will need to live in a city. Going by the wonderful writing in "Get Urban!," I bet Kyle Ezell is ...

I got this as audio book and it's few of the amazingly written and performed audio book. We listened to this in our commute and travel and kept us tightly intrigued and left us laughing and thinking at the same time. The author has degree in Asthetics and it shows. The story is pretty honest and simple but very well told. I think author manages to create pretty good humor out of everyday life, ...

Global Cities 2 reviews
Mark Abrahamson
Oxford University Press, USA, 2004
New Urban Sociology
Abrahamson's Global Cities is a welcome new book: It provides a truly global perspective on urban life, examining both the economic and cultural dimensions of globalism. It provides especially thorough examinations of immigration and the effects of foreign investment upon global inequality. It is a very well-written book, with little un-necessary jargon.
