Endless Enemies, The Making Of An Unfriendly World

Jonathan Kwitny

Congdon & Weed, 1984

Must reading for an understanding of U.S. imperialism
As indicated in the other reviews, this book is superb. Do try to get the original Congdon & Weed print. I met Kwitny at a book signing for the Penguin version. He explained why the book had a rather large number of blank pages. In 1953, Kennett Love was the New York Times's man in Tehran during the CIA-orchestrated overthrow of Mossadegh. Preparing for the book, Kwitny had obtained ...

Epiplectic the word
I decided to try and find out more on this word and found a definition on http://www.willamette.edu/~blong/Words/EpiI.html It is as follows: "Epiplexis/Epiplectic ..the word behind epiplexis is epiplessein, meaning "to rebuke" or "punish" or "chastise." Epiplexis is then a Greek word meaning "criticism" or "rebuke." It was taken over into English, however, in a rhetorical context and ...

Back to Basics
This is a wonderful book filled with wisdom and love. The author has presented the reader with a simple, clear cut, and hands on approach to herbalism. The reader is presented with the 3 traditions of healing, scientific, heroic, and wisewoman. After reading this book I decided to get involved in naturopathic medicine and stay clear of the scientific and heroic traditions of healing. Susun Weed ...

Excellent for small children!!
We read this to both of our girls when they were small 20 years ago. We wore out 2 books with them! We purchased more to give as gifts. Pictures are well drawn, colorful and stories are very acurate to scripture. We've even used the book in our deaf ministry as they are very visual learners as well,they love it!

Wisdom of the mystic masters

Joseph J Weed

Parker, 1973

Succinct rendition of Rosicrucian principles/methods
Mr. Weed is a former Rosicrucian Grand Councilor who has written other, less pithy books as well. His "A Rosicrucian Speaks" is very different & IMHO far less valuable than this masterwork. I believe Mr. Weed was strongly criticized by AMORC for publishing this book which succinctly reveals much private information that Rosicrucian students receive over years of study & practice--it was felt ...

Heartwarming
Jimson Weed is a heartwarming and engaging story of a young girl struggling to find her place in both her family and in the world. Set against a backdrop of the rural midwest and told from the point of view of young Janie, I immediately found myself transported with the sights, sounds, and mores of times past. Ms McCarty weaves this wonderful tale with surety, imagination, and deftness. ...

The book has teens in the Bay dealing with regular teenage issues, as well as vampires gang violence. The characters are cool, there's African American's, Vietnamese, Latino's, Filippino's, Jews, Goths, ravers, taggers and possibly dirty cops and a ...

Widow's Weeds: Lessons learned from the death of a partner
This is a fabulous book. Lisa puts into words what many are afraid to say. It helps those that have not lost a loved one to try to better understand what the "support-caregiver" goes through during this trying time. I loved the book and have recommended it to many people.

Growing Like a Weed : A For Better or for Worse Collection

Lynn Johnston

Andrews McMeel Publishing, 1997

A HARVEST OF GREAT STORIES!
This book has yielded a rich crop of great stories. The cast is certainly a convincing one. They are all folks one can recognize from real life counterparts, from funny, savvy Mr. Jim Patterson to the spoiled, unplesant April. She's the only one I have never been able to like. (I don't know how she gets by with her mouth. I'm surprised nobody ever put their foot down to her and she takes ...

Gashlycrumb Tinies is Great!
I bought three of these books as gifts for three retiring teachers -- they are so funny. An ABC book of odd outcomes for students. Love them.

HarperCollins Publishers, 1990

I am so bummed that this is out of print
I first read this a year or so ago and just loved it. This book gave me an even greater appreciation for the intelligence of plants, their adaptability, and the information we can gain from the presence of certain weeds if we know what we are looking at. The author talks about her ongoing struggle with the weeds that inhabit her gardening space. There are no winners or losers in this war, ...

This book inspires one to belive in themself
I recieved this book when it was first released. I was sad when it was no longer published. It brings great joy to my heart to know that this book has been brought back to life. I have read this book to people young and old. I have been inspired by this story. I hold it dear to my heart and celebrate when I can share it with others. I am within one semester from becoming an elementary teacher ...

And from the basic and practical point of view...
I plan to give this book to lots and lots of people for Christmas this year. Yes, it's exquisite art, yes, it enriches the reader by connecting her or him to the Earth beneath us, but it's also simply a GORGEOUS book to look through over and over again. The photos here on Amazon, as pretty as they are, simply don't do the book justice. The photographs in the book have a depth and richness ...

The Hapless Child

4 reviews
Edward Gorey

Peter Weed Books, 1986

A masterpiece!
This is one of Gorey's best stories, about the sad life of a sickeningly sweet orphan. Some people might prefer "The Gashlycrumb Tinies", but I think "The Hapless Child" is superior. This book is the epitome of Gorey's weird style, a parody of Victorian fiction, and always funny in a gruesome way, or gruesome in a funny way, depending on how you look at it. "The Hapless Child" is also ...

Wild about Wild on Park Avenue
What a wonderful read! Can't wait to leave the Big Apple for the wilds of Westchester to start picking my dinner. The recipes are fun to read and I bet they will be an adventure to gather and delicious to eat.

Simon Spotlight Entertainment, 2007

Fantastic book!
I was so excited to see that there's a book about my favorite TV show, and even more excited to see that it's as smart, thoughtful and funny as the show itself. Companion guides can sometimes be formulaic and boring, but this one brings a fresh and intelligent perspective to one of the best written (directed and acted) shows on cable today. If you aren't already a fan of the show (what's wrong ...

The Apocalypse Parable: A Conspiracy of Weeds

Brian Kaufman

Last Knight Publishing Company, 2006

impossible to put down
Where would Jesus go if he were to return today? Which broadcast station would he choose to spread his word? What would the censors say? Haven't people been interpreting the words of Jesus since the moment he spoke them? Chances are, if he did come back, he might have some editing to do to the Bible; chances are, people would ignore him and assume he was just a nutcase. It is what people assume ...

David W Monks

North Carolina Agricultural Extension Service, 1991

A PRAISEWORTHY RETELLING OF GULLIVER
When most of us hear the name "Gulliver," a picture probably comes to mind. A giant. A strong, brawny fellow? Leave it to consummate illustrator Chris Riddell to give us a smile provoking Gulliver with knobby knees, a bump in his nose, and shirt askew. Gulliver is still prone to many adventures, just as Jonathan Swift intended when he wrote "Gulliver's Travels," but he's also a tad clumsy ...

Weeds Like Us
I enjoyed reading this book. I could not put it down. It was recommended to me and I was not disappointed. Gunter writes about his experiences in East Prussia at the end of World War II. His family came under the Russians and they went thru hell until they were sent to Germany in 1948. This is a very important historical document about a time Americans know very little. It was a great injustice ...
