A Special Book
I purchased this book at a time when the spiritual encouragement this book contains had special meaning to me. I have passed it on to a friend who called to say that this book is truly meaningful in the best sense. My thanks to the author and those he writes about for the spiritual lessons. Magnificent

The Silence in the Mountains

Homesick
With beautiful illustrations and descriptive text, this book presents a consequence of war that can be presented to young children without being too graphic in nature. The book shows how each person in the family deals with their own homesickness and how Iskander must find his own way to overcome it. A good read aloud for Remembrance Day.

Greystone Books, 2007

From Edward Whymper’s ascent of the Matterhorn in the 1860s to Jon Krakauer’s vivid profiles of modern mountaineers, this collection offers indelible impressions from writers who experienced the mystery and the grandeur of the mountains — and who lived to tell about it. Highlights include John Muir’s “A Perilous Night on Mount Shasta” and Belmore Browne’s heart-stopping “Conquest of Mt. ...

time and again i let myself be surprised by the atrocious acts committed or supported by my government. the hypocricy of the CIA and of US foreign policy in general is nothing new, but this book tells guatemala's story from a very personal angle. the repressive practices of the post-50's guatemalan government are shocking and important to understand in and of themselves, along with the US ...

"Haunting...Nahai's dreamlike story beguiles with its depiction of a world where worshippers drink strychnine to prove their faith. Home, we learn, still casts a powerful spell."

avid reader
I have read 4-in-1 books before and have enjoyed them. This book however was poorly written. The story plots were interesting yet each story was too short. There was no substance in the stories. The characters meet once or twice and find themselves in love right away and soon marry. This book should have been split into one or two books with a more in-depth history into the characters. If ...

Stones of Silence: Journeys in the Himalaya

George B. Schaller

Univ of Chicago Pr (T), 1988

Contents:
The mountains of the Himalaya, from the lushly forested slopes of Nepal to the barren ranges of Central Asia, offer solitude, enlightenment, and incredible beauty, as well as the brutal reality of barren peaks and wind-torn slopes and glaciers. They are a lost world of nameless valleys, of people living in the Middle Ages, of travel by yak caravan. To field biologist George Schaller, the Himalaya ...

Blair Mountain Pr, 1999

Mediocre at best...
After reading The Silence of Blackberries, I couldn't help but feel mostly let down by this compilation of his "works". What bothers me most is that there are several poems in this book that remind me of other works that I've read from more established authors. Does anyone else notice this? Interpret that as you will, but this only goes to show how Depta is most likely a self-published only ...
