This Star Shall Abide -- Welcome back to a long out of print book!
Noren is a young man who is frustrated about the class stratified society that he lives in. When he decides to challenge the system, he finds himself on a perilous journey . . . facing truth as he has never imagined. When I read this story many years ago in junior high, I realized for the first time that it was possible to have a perspective on life that did not encompass a large enough view of ...

Bantam, 2000

What a wonderful treat, L'amour fans don't miss this one.
I am buried up to my nose in work but I had to come in and give my review on this one. These are great great stories, written by a man who believed in things he told you about and knows how to tell them good. I have not even completed the book, but oh man, it is so good... "By the waters of San Tadeo", "Beyond the great snow mountains", "Meeting at Fallmouth", "The money punch" and "The ...

Beyond Heart Mountain: Poems (National Poetry Series Books)

6 reviews
Lee Ann Roripaugh

Topeka Bindery, 1999

Music for the mind, and soul
There is much to be said about poetry with language so finely chiseled it cuts through the page. Roripaugh's words are a feast for the senses. Myth, history, culture, and memory are but a few of the rich ingredients in this dazzling book of poems. Definitely one of the best books of poetry I've read this year.

Read It!
We own the Legacy Ranch high in the mountains of Northeastern Utah. For years we have loved the beauty of the unspoiled wilderness. Nursing newborn elk calves, watching Canadian Lynx outside their lairs, and many other adventures have cast us in the mold of lovers of the wilderness. To read the adventures of true cowboys, who started with nothing else but their "grit" and ended up with lives ...

Mary Lois Miller

Old Mountain Press, 2001

Glowing portrayal of sailing in remote and exotic locations
The author's portrayal of a midnight watch with no horizon in sight burns etherial images in my soul. "...I see stars staring up at me from a mirrored sea. There are stars above. There are stars below -- not a whisper of a breeze. I have the sensation that I am floating, suspended in the center of a glass ball completely surrounded with stars." Complimenting the visions of exploring rich, ...

Mountaineers Books, 1999

Excellent book
I'm a 20 year old guy about to graduate from college, and have thus been thinking a lot about the future and how I want to live my life.. I just finished reading the book and wrote in my journal about it, which will sum up how I feel about it pretty well: Wow... I just finished reading a really good book, a book that has brought together and solidified a lot of the things I've been thinking ...

Temple and Cosmos: Beyond This Ignorant Present (The Collected Works of Hugh Nibley, Vol 12 : Ancient History)

Hugh Nibley

Shadow Mountain, 1992

Nibley's best work by far.
This book is amazing. Nibley's grasp of the subject matter is truly astounding. While it is true that Nibley is a mormon apologist, this work is not skewed like many of his other works. This is his best effort. Whether you are mormon or not this book brings up a lot of intersting similarities with almost every ancient religion and their temple type. Zoroastrian fire temples being the most ...

Ed Young

Chronicle Books, 2005

An intro of art and a new language to children
The design of the book is extremely creative and artistic. The pictorial language of Chinese, besides its beauty, is thought provoking. It makes children think with imagination and ask to learn more. When a book stimulates curiosity, it translates to search for knowledge, and results in growth. It's a wonderful thing.

Beyond Bipolar: 7 Steps to Wellness

Jane Mountain

Chapter One Press, 2007

Great first steps
This is an excellent review of seven basic procedures to reduce the severity of the symptoms of bipolar disorder. It's a good starting point, but does not examine all remedies available, and further reseach is recommended.

Marina Curtis Tidwell

Mountain Press Publishing Company, 2005

Fun AND beautiful
I found "Beyond the Beach Blanket" a beautiful and easy to use field guide -- terrific photos and really interesting material. It contains much more information than the average field guide -- a lot of fun facts and cool stories about the lifecycles of beach creatures. It really covers a lot of different types of animals too -- clams and other shells, plus tidepool animals like sea urchins, plus ...

PublishAmerica, 2004

A wonderful book
I picked up a copy last week and spent most of my time reading it. The story of this family (a fictionalized story of a real family) is both fascinating and inspirational. The idea that what you become is not a result of your circumstances, but the result of how you react to those circumstances is a constant thread throughout the book. Reflecting on my own life, I find this to be true. Beyond ...

Looking Beyond the Mountains

Steven Hammond

Wind Publications, 2007

One in Twenty Million
It is difficult enough for the average person in this life to figure out who he/she is--his/her relation to God, the universe, etc. But rarely has anyone faced a more angst-ridden confusion over identity than Steve Hammond. This is a unique story of gender confusion that lasted 25 years. And when the question was finally decided, inter-personal problems then plagued the writer. Hammond also ...

Sylvia Engdahl, 2008

This book is very provoative
This book is really the first I've encountered that's really dealt with matters that are important,what is the reason for life, and why must we die. If you're not interested in that, that's fine. After all, the trauma the main character goes through is written with beautifull language, and the story of this civilazation is enough to endure the deep thinking. This is not your average science ...

Gorgeous catalog for collagist Irwin Kremen retrospective
"Beyond Black Mountain" is the first full-scale catalog documenting the stunning collages and sculpture of Irwin Kremen. It accompanies a retrospective of his work at the new Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University. The artist has led a double life--he was a psychology professor at Duke for decades. Yet rather than deter from his career as a visual artist, it's clear that his experimenting ...

PublishAmerica, 2005

Beyond the Red Mountains
I am nine years old and have read both of Ken Ramirez's books. This book was physically impossible to put down. I like how he spun golden looms of detailed pictures. In this book I enjoyed how Naida, Randin, and Hayden had to overcome many obstacles and tasks. My favorite task was when the Rock Sprite gave them the task of stopping the poison that was spreading throughout the mountain. If ...
