Parenting Your Premature Baby and Child: The Emotional Journey16 reviews
Deborah L. Davis, Mara Tesler Stein

Fulcrum Publishing, 2004

Every NICU should recommend this for parents
Don't be daunted by the book's hefty size! This was without a doubt the most useful book of all that I referenced during our two months in the NICU. Other books explain all of the technology, procedures, etc., but this one covers the mental and emotional side of the NICU - handling the one-step-forward-two-steps-back preemie dance, grief at the premature birth experience, anxieties about care, ... 		  
  







  
  
The Undaunted Garden: Planting for Weather-Resilient Beauty16 reviews
Lauren Springer Ogden

Fulcrum Publishing, 2000

golden
A great book for plant lovers in the high plains, or the high desert. This book contains inspiring photographs and great plant lists (the most valuable part of the book, as these lists are nowhere to be found elsewhere), as well as wise advise from a well experienced gardener. I've thoroughly enjoyed reading nearly every page of this book. On the downside, the plants in the book may be difficult ... 		  
  







  
  
Earthsteps: A Rock's Journey through Time14 reviews
Diane Nelson Spickert

Fulcrum Publishing, 2010

Children are fascinated by this book!
I enthusiastically recommend this book! Who knew that the journey of a rock through time was dramatic AND fascinating? When was the last time you considered how a simple rock came to be? This story is as educational as it is entertaining to the children who have read it in my home. I had a five-year-old guest for the weekend, and THIS is the book she wanted out of all the books in my ... 		  
  







  
  
Cruisin' the Fossil Freeway: An Epoch Tale of a Scientist and an Artist on the Ultimate 5,000-Mile Paleo Road ...10 reviews
Kirk Johnson

Fulcrum Publishing, 2007

Fun for paleofreaks
For anyone who lives in the Western US and loves fossils, this is a wonderful adventure. Kirk Johnson is knowledgeable and knows how to have fun. Ray Troll's illustrations are cheerful and bright and just psychedelic enough to captivate people of all ages. Most fossil/paleo books are dry, but this one rocks! 		  
  







  
  
The Enduring Wilderness: Protecting Our Natural Heritage through the Wilderness Act (Speaker's Corner Series)10 reviews
Doug Scott

Fulcrum Publishing, 2004

A great book on an important and uniquely American topic.
In this book, Doug Scott provides us with an in-depth, refreshing and much needed look at the American Wilderness. We are all familiar with the wilderness of lore, whether it the pristine forests of Thoreau or the hostile wastes of the biblical prophet John. While these are powerful images they can't really compare to the diverse and very tangible wildernesses which are outlined in this book. ... 		  
  







  
  
The Principled Politician: The Story of Ralph Carr26 reviews
Adam Schrager

Fulcrum Publishing, 2008

A difficult story properly told
Adam Schrager is a precise and thoughtful writer. He allows history to be told and not to be judged by him but by the reader. He wrote of an important and historical episode in American history. Within that episode stood a unique man who not only believed in the Constitution but did so as a politician. Today, there is a preponderance of revisionism. Adam Schrager would have none of that. No ... 		  
  







  
  
Empty Cradle, Broken Heart, Revised Edition: Surviving the Death of Your Baby39 reviews

Fulcrum Publishing, 1991

Should have bought this sooner!
I suffered a miscarriage about 7 years ago. Since then it's been quite a struggle. I didn't realize until I finally ordered this book and started to read it how much I really needed to confront the pain and grief that I had suffered. There is one chapter that really justified this for me where the author discussed how you can't avoid the grief, you can't go under it or skip over it or go ... 		  
  







  
  
Wild Neighbors: The Humane Approach to Living with Wildlife9 reviews

Fulcrum Publishing, 1997

Excellent, fills an important need.
As a licensed wildlife rehabilitator, I was interested in seeing what type of information could be provided in a book that I could recommend to people wanting to solve wildlife problems in a humane manner. This book is an important contribution to a field that is becoming more important as people move expand into wildlife habitat as well as creating more attractive wildlife habitat in their own ... 		  
  







  
  
In Search of the Lost Feminine: Decoding the Myths That Radically Reshaped Civilization9 reviews

Fulcrum Publishing, 2006

In Search of the Lost Feminine
There are many books available that touch in some form or another on the ancient goddess religions, but this is the first to be written by a distinguished attorney and international negotiator proving that the feminine principle has been systematically discredited by the mythology of western civilization. It is both shocking and liberating. Any woman who has a sense of mission about correcting ... 		  
  







  
  
Broken Trail16 reviews
Alan Geoffrion

Fulcrum Publishing, 2006

Yippee! One helluva fine read
Whoa, this was such a good book I was moved throughout to chuckle, sigh, sob and react. Please, more like this one, Alan Geoffrion, just as fast as you can and hurry up about it. There's a lot to savor in this novel, so much so that it's very rich indeed. Mind you, there are few Western novels that detail campfire food but we get that here in spades, yippee! Do yourself a favor and don't pass ... 		  
  







  
  
A Man You Could Love8 reviews
John Callahan

Fulcrum Publishing, 2007

Read This Book!
John Callahan, literary executor for Ralph Ellison, and the man who completed Ellison's second novel, Junteenth, is a brilliant scholar and wonderful storyteller. In his first novel, Callahan's wisdom, wit and deep understanding of the values and politics that have shaped our country all come through. This is an author who must have many stories to tell, so let's hope that A Man You Could Love ... 		  
  







  
  
Veggie Revolution: Smart Choices for a Healthy Body and a Healthy Planet7 reviews
Sally Kneidel, Sara Kate Kneidel

Fulcrum Publishing, 2005

Helpful, honest, and thorough
My husband picked up this book for our 17-year-old daughter who declared herself vegan in April. We had been having a hard time coming up with family meals that would satisfy everyone, but the recipes in this book have pleased even my picky 11-year-old. I've ended up reading the rest of it as well, and found it really interesting. The informational chapters are all too convincing - my husband ... 		  
  







  
  
Reinventing Community: Stories from the Walkways of Cohousing6 reviews
David Wann

Fulcrum Publishing, 2005

What's it really like to live in cohousing?
Cohousing first hit my personal radar about a year ago when I met the editor, Dave Wann, in Golden, CO. I live in suburbia (Lakewood, CO) and have always felt like there must be a better way to live than the typical fast-paced, disconnected-from-your-neighbor, every-man-for-himself-on-his-own-little-separate-plot kind of existence. I read one of Dave's previous books called Superbia that he ... 		  
  







  
  
Art of Charles Partridge Adams5 reviews
Dorothy Dines, Stephen J. Leonard, ...

Fulcrum Publishing, 2004

Rocky Mountain High, Colorado
Charles Partridge Adams (1858-1942) is widely considered to have been Colorado's finest landscape painter, best-known for his stunning views of snowy mountain peaks in early morning or sunset light, or wreathed in storm clouds, and for his luminous twilight and sunset paintings of the river bottoms near Denver. His paintings are best characterized as impressionistic and subjective. This lavish ... 		  
  







  
  
Access Anything: Colorado: Adventuring with Disabilities6 reviews
Craig P. Kennedy, Andrea C. Jehn

Fulcrum Publishing, 2005

Wonderful information / Wonderful Author
So glad this type of book, filled with very helpful information and insight, has been published. Can't wait until Craig writes a book for each state and then tackles Europe. Sent an autographed copy to a good friend, a double amputee who truly appreciates the author's ability to advise most accurately. 		  
  







  
  
If Every Month Were June7 reviews

Fulcrum Publishing, 2008

A freakin' BLAST!
This is one of those books you hate to finish. I just wanted it to keep going on and on. Its filled with killer jokes and laughs, but buried under all the fun is a strong story of a goofy guy becoming a great man. Hooter Pridley gives up everything he has to chase a dream. Along the way we meet a handful of awesome characters and terribly amusing situations. Hooter finally realizes what his ...

Deftly compiled and professionally edited by James Treat (Associate Professor of American Indian Studies, University of Illinois), Writing The Cross Culture: Native Fiction On The White Man's Religion is a provocative and somewhat iconoclastic anthology of writings based upon the Native American cultural transformation and adaptations of the beliefs and practices of the Christian faith.

Abrams, Bruce Caughey, ...

Fulcrum Publishing, 1997

This book has never let me down.
I am a Colorado resident and use this book (and the previous editions) frequently for weekend getaways. In all the many times I have counted on the author's advice, they have never let me down. Excellent book! Jim in Littleton 		  
  







  
  
When Elephants Fly: One Woman's Journey from Wall Street to Zululand7 reviews
Carol Batrus

Fulcrum Publishing, 2005

Fabulous book
This book is an inspiration! I am an inveterate reader of travel literature. When I saw this book in my local independent book dealer I was intrigued by the subtitle--One womans journey from Wall street to Zululand!~ Once I picked it up I couldn't put it down. Carol is a marvelous story teller and her honesty and transparency are thoroughly disarming. She lets the reader into her life and into ...
