shackletonesque
On February 1, 1966 the American pilot Dieter Dengler (1938-2001) took enemy fire and crash-landed his plane in Laos while on a secret mission. After surviving in the jungle on his own he was captured, tortured (hung upside down with an ant nest around his neck, submerged in a well, dragged by an ox through a village), then taken on a three-week jungle trek to a Pathet Lao prison camp called Par ...

Alex Kershaw

Da Capo Press, 2008

An inspiring story....
As the son of a career sailor who served on submarines (USS Baya, SS-318, USS Menhaden, SS-377, and USS Segundo, SS-398) from the late 40's until his retirement in 1963, some of my earliest memories are of going to work with him and eating ice cream in the galley when the sub was in port. I also attended several dependents day cruises on the Menhaden and loved and respected the crew. With ...

Anne Wilson Schaef

HarperOne, 1990

life-changing!
reading this short book has changed my life. i found myself detailed in practically every page. having experienced several failed relationships and a generally "unlucky in love" sort of life, i recognized myself in these profiles of sex, romance, and relationship addicts who form "pseudo relationships" that are designed to keep the addict from knowing her true self. Schaef, a recovered "pseudo ...

Escape from Babel: Toward a Unifying Language for Psychotherapy Practice (Norton Professional Books)

5 reviews
Scott D. Miller, Barry L. Duncan, ...

W. W. Norton & Company, 1997

What the world needs!
I am especially glad to have stumbled upon Escape From Babel sooner rather than later in my career. In a most straightforward way it cuts to the chase about what it means to be a part of effective therapy; it reminds that clients (and their experiences) are nothing less than extraordinary when given the opportunity to have a role in their therapy; and it will encourage you to look again at the ...

Escape from Freedom

Erich Fromm

Holt Paperbacks, 1994

The Hobo Philosopher
Erich Fromm was a popular author among college students in the 60's. This particular book expressed the notion that human beings did not really want freedom and were on a constant psychological journey to undermine their own personal freedom in many convoluted ways. The author gives examples of how we undermine our freedom and how we try to escape from the burden of freedom and independence. I ...

Escape from Reason: A Penetrating Analysis of Trends in Modern Thoughts (Ivp Classics)

23 reviews
Francis A. Schaeffer

IVP Books, 2007

escape from reason
this book is short and brief (100 pages or so), that is its intended appeal. it is not and does not claim to be a comprehensive analysis of all theological and philosophical thought-- just a very thoughtful and broad view of the impact of thought, art, industry, etcetera and its culmination on the state of our current society. to this end the book is fullfilling.

Escape from Slavery: The True Story of My Ten Years in Captivity and My Journey to Freedom in America

Francis Bok, Edward Tivnan

St. Martin's, 2004

Choose to read this one!
Two days ago I began to read "Escape from Slavery". I have hardly wanted to set it down since I picked it up. I have been saddened but incredibly inspired. I am forcefully reminded that freedom is a miracle too easily taken for granted. Until this week, I admit I was completely ignorant of Sudan, let alone the plight of it's people. In fact, I only knew Sudan was another big country "somewhere in ...

Gene Hackman, Daniel Lenihan

St. Martin's Press, 2008

A very interesting book
"The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation," wrote Henry David Thoreau, and one such man is Captain Nathan Parker, Captain of the Fifth Michigan, dubbed "Parker's Rangers." And just when he thought that the insanity of war could not get any worse, he and his men are captured and sent to the dreaded Confederate prison camp at Andersonville, Georgia. Now, Captain Parker's situation becomes ...

Frederick Douglass

Knopf Books for Young Readers, 1993

A microcosm of the contradictions of slavery
With so much of the sordid history of slavery in the United States behind us, many of the major wounds have been healed. However, that does not mean that we should forget what it did to people. Slavery turned otherwise kindly people into beasts. Eventually, it was the wedge that drove two segments of the U.S. into overt warfare. Frederick Douglass was one of the most articulate voices opposed ...

Escape From Kathmandu

Kim Stanley Robinson

Orb Books, 2000

a good fun read
"Escape from Kathmandu" is a lively and entertaining book. It is laugh out loud funny in places as its two main protagonists engage in some way out adventures. Beneath the far fetched plot lines there are actually many accurate and interesting insights into life in Nepal. Corruption in the government, widespread poverty, the inefficient beauracracy are all touched on in a sensitive and ...

Dave and Neta Jackson, Julian Jackson

Bethany House, 1992

You'll have a better idea of slavery in the 1800s.
The style and pace of this book is a excellent for the growing reader, perhaps middle school and down. The Arabs were no friends to Africans.

Escape from Hell and the Almighty White Guy with a Beard

James La Croce

Booklocker.com, Inc., 2008

For the Mature Christian.
This is the memoir of an extraordinary human being, not judged by personal history alone, but by his honesty, courage and generosity of soul. This book filled me with gratitude for the author's uncanny ability to name the most beguiling of life's deceptions, those imposed by religion in the name of "God." Jim La Croce, in this book, has plunged enthusiastically and quixotically into the deep ...

For example: "Have you ever wondered why so many people in high positions seem to be selfish, power-crazed boneheads?" "Do you detest office politics?"
