Athena and Eden: The Hidden Meaning of the Parthenon's East Facade10 reviews
Robert Bowie Johnson Jr.

Solving Light Books, 2002

Fabulous new source for reflection - Very highly recommended
The focus of Greek civilization, the Parthenon captures viewers imaginations even as it conceals its true meaning. In his ground breaking work, Robert Bowie Johnson, Jr. author of ATHENA AND EDEN: THE HIDDEN MEANING OF THE PARTHENON'S EAST FACADE demonstrates that when Athena is seen to be Eve, then Greek mythology becomes narrative art. Consequently, the marble sculptures on the east pediment of ... 		  
  







  
  
The Girls Who Went Away: The Hidden History of Women Who Surrendered Children for Adoption in the ...16 reviews
Ann Fessler

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2007

Baby, Come Back
In "The Girls Who Went Away," Ann Fessler interviews several women who surrendered their babies for adoption in the years before Roe v. Wade (1973). Fessler spares the reader historical fill-in facts and avoids covering the pages with interview-style "Q&As." Instead, she points her recorder in the direction of the women, and lets them talk. Their accounts, spoken candidly and without self-pity, ...

The hidden treasure of Glaston14 reviews
Eleanore Myers Jewett

The Viking Press, 1967

A Long-Remembered Treasure
What can I say about this sublime book that blends an exciting mystery with tantalizing folklore and fascinating historical detail? Only what virtually every other reviewer here has said: I read this book as a teen and never, ever forgot it. I became enthralled with the legends surrounding Glastonbury. I didn't rest until I actually visited the site in my 20's. I almost never write ... 		  
  







  
  
Hidden From History: 300 Years of Women's Oppression and the Fight Against It (Pluto Classics)10 reviews
Jack London, Sheila Rowbotham

PLUTO PRESS, 1992

One of the best books ever written about revolution
In spite of its length, I've read this book several times. It isn't just a widely acclaimed historic and literary masterpiece, written by a leading participant in the events he describes. It isn't just vividly written and thoroughly researched. More importantly, it's one of the best books ever written about revolution, as relevant today as ever. The most important conclusion that emerges ... 		  
  







  
  
The Hidden Face: A Study of St. Therese of Lisieux10 reviews
Ida Friederike Gorres

Ignatius Press, 2003

Revealing and Inspiring!
Exhaustive expose of Saint Therese of Lisieux. Insightful and highly enjoyable to read; the text will edify any Christian striving to do God's will and longing to be encouraged on a sound method. Be aware: "Little Way" is a blatant oximoron; Therese's path is no small feat! Consider Jesus' admonitions and modelling in the Gospel accounts. However tall the order may be, it is not impossible to ... 		  
  







  
  
The Loyalty Effect: The Hidden Force Behind Growth, Profits, and Lasting Value28 reviews
Frederick F. Reichheld, Thomas Teal

Harvard Business Press, 2001

Great Book
I was looking for a book that helped one identify strong management for the purpose of company analysis and valuation - this book did just that.

This is the second book in the series The Swans are Not Silent. Like the other books in the series, it contains three of Piper's biographical sermons on historical Christians.

The Colors of Courage: Gettysburg's Hidden History12 reviews
Margaret S. Creighton

Basic Books, 2004

Pickett's Charge fought on land owned by a Free Black! WOW!
This book tells us, not about the battle, but what went on in the town of Gettysburg itself. Having lived there for 5 years, I was steeped in the folklore that the soldiers ran back and forth throught the streets of the town for three days, and with the exception of Jennie Wade (story: warned to go to the basement, courageously continued making bread) the townspeople were unscathed and John ... 		  
  







  
  
Life Inside the "Thin" Cage: A Personal Look into the Hidden World of the Chronic Dieter11 reviews
Constance Rhodes

Shaw Books, 2003

DID I WRITE THIS??
I happened upon this book by 'chance' (in other words, the hand of God, in my opinion) and when I read the back, a tear trickled down my face. Having been overweight much of my life and now being a chronic dieter, I could resonate with Constance's words - I think those thoughts she expressed. I don't fit the DSM-IV diagnoses for bulimia or anorexia. I'm 'different'. She is so right - there ... 		  
  







  
  
The Hidden West: Journey in the American Outback7 reviews
Rob Schultheis

The Lyons Press, 1996

CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS ONE HIGHLY ENOUGH
I first read this one in 1982 and have returned to it time and again. I, like a couple of other reviewers, cannot understand why this book has not recieved more attention. It is well written, funny, informative and just simply fun to read. It is a collection of tales, stories, or what have you, of the western portion of our country. The author has wonderful insight and certainly knows his ... 		  
  







  
  
Damascus: Hidden Treasures of the Old City7 reviews
Brigid Keenan, Tim Beddow

Thames & Hudson, 2001

A beautiful must-have book for anyone who loves Damascus
This book is a must for anyone who loves Damascus and is concerned about its deterioration. It's a must for any Damascene expatriate's living room coffee table book collection for sure. The photographs are absolutely stunning and the text is interesting and engaging. One flaw, however is that I would have liked to see the photographs and the text regarding specific houses cross-referenced, ... 		  
  







  
  
The Hidden Canyon: A River Journey7 reviews
John Blaustein, Edward Abbey

Chronicle Books, 1999

AWE INSPIRING!!
Having rafted the Colorado myself 2 years ago, this was a perfect souvenir-reminder of my trip. The photos in particular are exquisite - some I have no idea how he managed to capture without ending up in the river himself. I lost my Pentax to the very first rapid! This book definitely gives a sense of what the Canyon, the river, and the rapids are like. Makes me want to go back! 		  
  







  
  
Cosmopolis the Hidden Agenda of Modernity9 reviews
Stephen Toulmin

Free Press, 1990

On the Madness of the West
and How it Ended up Creating the World as We Know It_ could have been another title of this superb book that is written with cogency, urgency, and a real desire to get across the reader what the author has to say. The synopsis of the story is as another reveiwer has already described below: namely that the kick-off of modernity with Descartes' "I think therefore I am" was not something that ... 		  
  







  
  
Hidden Nature: The Startling Insights of Viktor Schauberger9 reviews
Alick Bartholomew

Adventures Unlimited Press, 2005

Forty Years Too Late...
I wish I would have discovered this book forty years ago (& 37 years before it was printed)- I do this New Age, holistic, alternative lifestyle stuff for a living & this book is far beyond anything I've ever encountered. How anyone can start out daydreaming on a riverbank & end up inventing a flying saucer travelling 1500 miles per hour with antigravity properties that broke through the roof ... 		  
  







  
  
Your Name Is Renee: Ruth Kapp Hartz's Story As a Hidden Child in Nazi-Occupied France9 reviews
Stacy Cretzmeyer

San Val, 2002

Compelling...A Story That Captivates
"Your Name is Renee" is the unforgettable story of Ruth Kapp Hartz, told from her viewpoint as a child in Nazi-occupied France in the early 1940's. It is too compelling to read in little increments...you'll want to consume it from cover to cover in one sitting. The writing style is simple and tremendously effective, never distracting from the story itself. Mrs. Hartz's story should be required ... 		  
  







  
  
Hidden Forest6 reviews
Jon R. Luoma

Topeka Bindery, 2001

Ought to be required reading.
Not only was The Hidden Forest a pleasure to read, but Jon Luoma told me so many things I didn't know. I thought I knew a great deal about forests, since I live next to a park, hike in the mountains, and have read many books about trees, but this book showed me that there really is a hidden forest right under my nose that I'd been mostly unaware of. Now, as I walk the trail through the woods, I ... 		  
  







  
  
Mystery of the Night Cafe: Hidden Key to the Spirituality of Vincent Van Gogh9 reviews
Cliff Edwards

Excelsior Editions/State University of New Yo, 2009

Mystery of the Night Cafe
In Mystery of the Night Café, Cliff Edwards takes the reader on an intimate journey into the creative genius of Vincent Van Gogh by focusing on one painting that reveals "the inner life and intent of the artist himself." Rather than portraying Van Gogh as a gifted person tormented by fits of mental illness, Edwards shows us though primary sources (the artist's total work, his correspondences, and ... 		  
  







  
  
Hidden Letters7 reviews

Star Bright Books, 2008

A Valuable Addition
So much has been written about the Holocaust that its difficult to add anything of value, but now we actually do have something that does just that; Deborah Slier & Ian Shine's new book "Hidden Letters". Thanks in particular to the extraordinary layout and design, we move naturally and effortlessly between the specifics of Flip's life and letters to the wider context of the Final Solution as it ... 		  
  







  
  
Caves: Exploring Hidden Realms (Imax)8 reviews
Michael Ray Taylor, Ronal C. Kerbo

National Geographic, 2001

How would you like to explore the mysteries of caves?
Many of us have probably been very fascinated with caves since we were small children. However, we probably never had the actual experience of exploring caves nor will we ever undertake such a voyage to many of our planet's uncharted regions. Perhaps, the wisest and safest way to satisfy our curiosity pertaining to the study of caves, or as it is called, Speleology, is to seek out a good ...
