Perspectives on Silence

Ablex Publishing, 1985

This book focuses attention on a relatively neglected component of communication-silence-in order to present current research from a number of disciplines and also to stimulate further research on the subject. Silence is often viewed as an out-of-awareness phenomenon against which talk is perceived. By reversing polarities and treating silence as a figure to be examined against talk, we are given a heightened awareness of the universal aspects ...

you must read this book
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 ...

On Silence: 30 Days to a Powerful Spiritual Practice
From the first words in the introduction that say "this book is about one of the greatest of all spiritual practices - the simple observance of silence" to the last quote by William Shakespeare, "the rest is silence", Joseph Dispenza has given us a great gift. He describes a very powerful and ancient spiritual practice with simplicity and beauty. It's almost as if, when reading the book, I ...

William H. Shannon

Crossroad Pub Co, 1991

The presence of God in the land of the living.
I am a lay person, uneducated in spiritual writing, but to the sincere I can assure you that this little book will ROCK YOUR WORLD! Father Shannon uses the theme "I will walk in the presence of God in the land of the living". I had always thought that referred to the land of the Living God (i.e. someplace else- from where I am!) The author assures us that we are in the land of the living, that ...

Brotherhood of Corruption: A Cop Breaks the Silence on Police Abuse, Brutality, and Racial Profiling

Juan Antonio Juarez

Chicago Review Press, 2004

honest hard hitting account
I want to thank Mr. Juarez for writing such and honest hard-hitting account of his years as an officer in the Chicago Police Department. You have shown that anyone who puts on the badge must confront not only the bad actors in our society but also the demons nestled in one's own psyche. This is cautionary tale with a deeply redeeming ending; a must-read for anyone who is considering a career ...

Tearing the Silence : On Being German in America

17 reviews
Ursula Hegi, 1998

Tearing the Silence
Ursula Hegi must have been squirming during some of these interviews, as the subjects were sometimes brutally and tastelessly honest about their feelings. I found that honesty a draw for me to keep reading. Having read 'Stones From the River', and a few other Hegi novels, I was familiar with her style. However, she mostly lets her interview subjects guide the way; she does great with this ...

Michal Zalewski

No Starch Press, 2005

A Wonderful Treatment of Network Security
At a conference I was at some time ago, a fellow mentioned to me that one person he would probably not want to play poker with is Michal Zalewski. I didn't really get his statement at the time, but after reading this book, I can now wholeheartedly understand his reluctance. Although only 260 pages long, Michal's book covers an incredibly wide range of topics, pinpointing numerous areas in ...

Thundering Silence: Sutra on Knowing the Better Way to Catch a Snake

Thich Nhat Hanh

Parallax Press, 1993

A Nice Little Book
This book has a perfect title for those times when it is needed, thinking about troublesome areas of our lives, particularly for people who are prone to think of the impossible more fondly than they should. My favorite part of the book was the short list of descriptions which Buddha had for the dangers of passion. Like a burning pit, someone might push you into it, etc. This book is ...

Sandra Brown

Brilliance Audio on CD Unabridged Lib Ed, 2005

Love IT
This is one of the best romance books that Sandra Brown has written. I love books about star crossed lovers. This book also gives us a small insight to the world of a deaf child and the family relationships that evolve around them (even though you can't this a normal family).

Language and Silence: Essays on Language, Literature, and the Inhuman

3 reviews
George Steiner

Yale University Press, 1998

Did you understand the previous review?
Referring to the preceeding review: pedantry of such a bold-faced variety, (notwithstanding the author's ignorance of current orthographical conventions) leaves one astounded and disgusted. Unless it was a joke, in which case: ha ha. The book is so much more than the reviews contained on this page would have us believe. Buy it and enjoy.

Kennedy Fraser

Knopf, 1996

Amazing
I read this book looking for something and I found in it the most strong women I could ever know. An inspiration in every way to my young mind I will be changed forever by this amazing collection. Kennedy Fraser captures the essence of each of the women (and the few men) that she writes about. She's amazing, it's amazing.
