Political heretics: From Plato to Mao Tse-tung (Ann Arbor paperbacks)1 review
Max Nomad

University of Michigan Press, 1968

Timeless, Insightful, Enjoyable
Political Heretics echoes a style found in the writing of Will Durant. Though a historical review of the political origins and offshoots of the World through the 1950's, it is by no means just another dull history book. Nomad writes as if he knew Bakunin, Marx, and the countless other characters found in his book personally. Nomad's commanding knowledge and personable writing offer the reader ... 		  
  







  
  
The New Teacher's Handbook: Practical Strategies & Techniques for Success in the Classroom from Kindergarten ...4 reviews
Yvonne Bender

Nomad Press, 2003

FINALLY!
FINALLY! Here is a book I can only hope will allow new teachers to remain in the field without constantly asking, "Why don't they teach the realities of teaching in College?" or "Why didn't my college coursework and training include real life and not one in a PERFECT WORLD?" After completing the four years of college in order to take that first step into one's own classroom, it is so frustrating ...

M. J. Eberhart

Menasha Ridge Press, 2007

Great Read!
What a wonderful and inspiring book!! If you are a backpacker, outdoorsman, or a couch AT hiker, this book is very enjoyable. Eb makes you feel like you are walking every step with him. The book also helps one to realize the "kindness" and generosity of the American and Canadian people. It was uplifting to read a 500+ page book without one bit of negativity toward anyone by the author. Thank you ...

Neerihiinjik: We Traveled From Place to Place (Second Edition)2 reviews
Johnny Goowandak, Johnny Sarah Haa Googwandak, ...

Alaska Native Language Center, 2001

Texts
This is a book similar to "Dena'ina Legacy", it just describes different people in a different language. Well, I tried to compare the text and translation - it just won't work for Athabaskan, but the texts are interesting, there are pictures, biographies of the informants in English only, bilingual mythical texts, and bilingual stories taken from life. Tone is marked. The texts together are ...

Art of being Tuareg: Sahara nomads in a modern world.(exhibition preview): An article from: African Arts1 review
Thomas K. Seligman

Thomson Gale, 2006

Being Tuareg is an Art
This book gives an excellent overview of the Tuareg Culture. It addresses the customs, history, Berber language and it's poetry, as well as the material culture of the Tuareg. The examples of the leather work and jewelry are superb. It was my pleasure to attend the sale of Tuareg jewelry at Fort Mason, CA, which is mentioned on page 67 of the book. This book is the catalogue for an exhibit ...

Nomad: Letters from a Westward Lap of the World4 reviews
Jason Jones

Palm Island Press, 2004

Never has world culture been so attainable.
You know, I find most travel books wordy and boring: Over descriptive of minute details, and under descriptive of the culture and people. In a time when world events and struggles are brought close to home, I just want an "every man" set of observations. Mr. Jones gives that in this book. Shoot, I feel like I could call him 'Jason' after reading this book. It's like you sat down with a buddy ... 		  
  







  
  
Knitting in the Old Way: Designs and Techniques from Ethnic Sweaters25 reviews
Priscilla Gibson-Roberts

Nomad Press, 2005

Just What I Have been Looking For!
Finally I have a new book which thoroughly explains techniques that I have been looking for. My goal in knitting, always, is to create professional looking, well finished garments, and, even though I have developed many techniques myself through the years, I love learning new, better ways to do things. Rather than a glossy picture book with artsy photos, this book gives me methods for designing, ...

Story of the World, Volume 1: Ancient Times Audiobook CD: From the Earliest Nomads to the Late Roman Empire, ...15 reviews
Susan Wise Bauer

Peace Hill Press, 2006

A wonderful addition to our library: both educational and entertaining!
After reading all the reviews about SOTW I was hesitant to buy it. We are a very conservative, Christian, homeschooling family and some of the reviews made me wonder if this would be the best choice for our family. I decided to get the book form of Mystery of History and the audiobook of SOTW to use as a supplement. I haven't opened our Mystery of History yet (though I will soon...) but we ... 		  
  







  
  
Nomad: Journeys from Samburu2 reviews
Mary Anne Fitzgerald

Picador, 1994

The best book about Africa I've ever read
Mary Anne Fitzgerald, the author, is a journalist for the London Times and other British publications. Her skin might be white, but she's an African through and through. Jailed briefly and then exiled from her home in Kenya in 1988 because she wrote some uncomplimentary articles about the government, she fled with her two teenage daughters to the safety of London. She yearned for her homeland, ...

Travels Along the Edge: 40 Ultimate Adventures for the Modern Nomad--From Crossing the Sahara to Bicycling ...6 reviews
David Noland

Vintage, 1997

Read this before you travel to the edge!
The appendix alone makes the book a good buy. It is useful in helping you assess the best season to travel, what the mental and physical challenge is for any given destination, and the skills needed. I also enjoyed the authors dry humour, i.e. when he recalls the "what the f*ck am I doing here?" moments of his adventures. 		  
  







  
  
From Nomads to Pilgrims: Stories from Practicing Congregations2 reviews

Alban Institute, 2005

Some excellent ideas
Our entire parish has been reading this book together. Some of the practices the author describes are exciting to think about adopting. I am especially grateful to note that these practices are rooted in Christian tradition rather than church-marketing strategies. The greatest danger to mainline denominations today is striving to increase membership at the cost of faithfulness to the Gospel. ... 		  
  







  
  
The Silent Steppe: The Story of a Kazakh Nomad Under Stalin1 review
Mukhamet Shayakhmetov

Stacey International Publishers, 2006

Great Book!
I am currently reading this book, and so far it is a great book, and very enlightening on the Kazakh culture and way of life both prior to and during Soviet times. Well worth the read! Mark Conway
