A Far Cry from Home: Life in a Shelter for Homeless Women 1 review
Lisa Ferrill
Noble Press Inc, 1991
A reality check
Those of us who have families and homes pretend the homeless don't exist. The author of this book used to do that too until she accepted a traineeship position from her school to help out at a women's shelter. I am thankful for what I have, meager as it may be because it is way more than some people have. I hope and wish that someday we can get the homeless a GOOD place to live. One free of ...

Eco Warriors: Understanding the Radical Environmental Movement1 review
Rik Scarce
Noble Press Inc, 1990
great book - this man is dedicated to saving the environment
Eco-Warriors was written by Rik Scarce, a journalist who lives in Washington. This book attempts (and succeeds) to help readers understand why such grups as Earth First! and such "radical" environmental groups take the actions that they do. Scarce presents as much as an objective view as possible, he stresses his sympathy for the "front-line warriors" in the battle to save the earth. Well-told ...

A Page Turner
This book ranks right up there with a the best love stories of all time. Ms. Williams makes us all want to go back to college and fall in love. This was a true page turner.

Tender Mercies: Inside the World of a Child Abuse Investigator1 review
Keith N. Richards
Noble Press Inc, 1991
Pretty good but not for students
I gave this book 4 stars because it was a very good, easy read. The author did a great job, and Keith Richards does a good job of being honest about portraying the image of how the social workers real life is in this field. It doesn't give a lot of detail on the cases themselves and I wouldn't recommend it to students because it doesn't make the field sound too great. I'd recommend it to people ...

Free the Animals! : The Untold Story of the U.S. Animal Liberation Front and Its Founder, "Valerie"9 reviews
Ingrid Newkirk
Noble Press Inc, 1992
Compassion
Only through respect for all creatures can we have true respect for ourselves. This book gave me a new insight into what goes on in the animal liberation front and in the labrotories. The people in this book are heros to the animals. I was glad that "Valorie" realized violent direct action was wrong and did not get involved with it. "I hold that the more helpless a creature, the more entitled ...
