Book Description
"How can I tell him that he will never find her, after he has been searching for her all his life? If I could talk to him without breaking his heart, there is something I would tell him, in hopes it would stop his sleepless nights and wrongheaded search for a shadow. I would repeat this to him: 'Your Matilde Lina is in limbo, the dwelling place of those who are neither dead nor alive.' But that would be like severing the roots of the tree that supports him. Besides, why do it if he is not going to believe me."
In the midst of war, the protagonists of A Tale of the Dispossessed are continuously searching: for a promised land, a destiny, the face of a woman who has disappeared -- searching for an impossible love and, conversely, for a love that is possible.
A way station for refugees from violence is the setting for an intense love triangle in which an uprooted and wandering people lead the reader to experience the collective drama of forced relocation. A Tale of the Dispossessed speaks to us about the inexorable law that has led man, expelled from paradise since the days of Adam through to modern times, in his search for a way back home.

Extremely Entertaining and Heart Felt.......2007-07-31
I loved the way that the children melted the heart of the most cynical of rogues. I would recommend this book to anyone that loves a story with joy and laughs in a well written romance.
Off-the-scale WONDERFUL!.......2004-05-27
There is so much more to this story than a romance, though that's as satisfyingly hot and sexy as any of Blair's rogues. This story however is fuller, deeper, more thought-provoking. Beyond the wonderful romance, it's about the search for home and family. Every character has been abandoned at one time or another, the hero and heroine, the children in their care, even the estate both Reed and Chastity hope to claim. I laughed, I cried, I read it again, and I still wanted more. I eagerly look forward to A CHRISTMAS BABY, fourth in the Rogues Club series, where all the rogues and their families will come together for Christmas. Can't wait!
FUN, [Interesting], ENJOYABLE READ!.......2004-04-01
I don't usually read historical romances, but I've read all of Annette Blair's books and enjoyed them very much. I like them because they entertain me in so many ways. In AN UNMISTAKABLE ROGUE there were so many times when I laughed or smiled, especially during the scenes with the children. At other times, I was left in suspense and even a little frightened, wondering what would happen next. I loved the somewhat spooky setting of a mansion with a dark secret. Underneath his rogue exterior, hero Reed Gilbride has a heart of gold--loved him! The story kept moving right along so I never got bored. The surprise ending really touched and endeared me to the heroine, Chastity Somers. All I can say is, I had a really good time reading this book and I couldn't have asked for more!
Love this Book.......2004-04-01
I really liked this book. I thought the story was wonderful. The characters seemed like real people to me and I was sorry when the book was finished because I wanted to know what happened next. The little kids in the story were really funny. This story was a little "steamier" than I usually read but I found I really enjoyed it. Good book if you're looking for a good story
Great Entertaining Reading.......2004-03-28
I don't typically read historical romances, but I make the exception with Annette Blair's Rogue series. Her current, an unmistakable rouge, entertained me as thoroughly as did the two previous Rogues. This is fun, sexy, escapist fiction, what is often referred to as a "good beach read"! As with the other heros in this series, underneath his rogue exterior, Reed Gilbride has a heart of gold. There's also a bit of suspense, four mischievous children who provide plenty of laughs, a house with a dark secret, an evil villainess, lots of plot to keep the story moving, and a surprise twist as the end for heroine Chastity Somers. Wow! I loved it!

Book Description
The new collection of science fiction and fantasy stories by Gene Wolfe G ene Wolfe follows his acclaimed all-fantasy short story collection, Innocents Aboard, with a volume devoted primarily to his science fiction. The twenty-five stories here amply demonstrate his range, excellence, and mastery of the form that hastraditionally been the heart of the field. Their diversity makes them otherwise impossible to characterize as a group, so a few tantalizing samples will have to suffice.

One of Science Fiction's Best Literary Stylists Is Back With A Superb Short Story Collection............2006-12-13
Calling Gene Wolfe a great science fiction writer is a mere literary understatement, since he ranks, along with Ray Bradbury, not only as one of the premier elder statesmen of American science fiction, but more importantly, as one of the finest literary stylists in American fiction of any genre. "Starwater Strains", his new short story collection, merely reaffirms his splendid literary gifts for writing brilliant, evocative prose and marvellous storytelling. Most of these stories in this collection were written in the past decade, ranging emotionally from horrific to suspenseful to tranquil, covering themes as vast as contemporary fantasy to space opera harkening back to his "The Book of The New Son" series of novels. My own personal favorite is "In Glory like Their Star", which is an absolutely refreshing, polished literary gem of a tale about the religious connotations of First Contact by space travelers visiting a primitive planet inhabited by pastoral, devout believers. But it is not the lone gem, which I think also includes such diverse tales as "Of Soil and Climate", "The Fat Magician", "The Boy Who Hooked the Sun", and "The Seraph from its Sepulcher". The ones I've omitted citing are, in their own way, almost as riveting as those cited above. "Starwater Strains" will certainly delight those unfamiliar with Wolfe's impressive body of work, as well as his long-time fans and admirers.
Uneven collection but with some great gems.......2006-09-17
Disclaimer: I expect many negative ratings as Mr. Wolfe's fans feel it their duty to discredit anyone who rates him less than a 'god' (5).
That said, I always enjoy his short story collections. Even the stories I rated 2 out of 5 are worth the read. There are some I did not enjoy at all, but that may be simply my taste.
Of Soil and Climate
The Dog of the Drops
From The Cradle
Empire of Foliage and Flower
Lord of the Land
The Boy Who Hooked the Sun
being my least favorites.
The stars of this collection (for me) are
In Glory Like Their Star
Calamity Warps
Graylord Man's Last Words
Hunter Lake
Pulp Cover
The Seraph from the Sepulcher

I can't believe my good fortune.......2006-01-22
to have a writer like Wolfe *consistently* writing great stories. If you like thinking for fun, if you enjoy inventive storytelling, if you enjoy the feeling of being in hopelessly over your head, but in the hands of a chuckling, mostly benign master of his art, then by all means read Wolfe.

Some notes:
Wolfe has some typically intriguing and all-too-brief comments on each story. Each! Story! which excited me.
"The Arimaspian Legacy" is linked to, and evidently happens *before* the short story "Slow Children at Play from Wolfe's _Innocents Aboard_. Hint: Wolfe likes Herodotus.
"Lord of the Land," as Wolfe notes, is Wolfe doing a Lovecraft story; it was first published in _Cthulu 2000_ and also appeared in a Tor anthology, _Lovecraft's Legacy_ (1990).
Great Stuff.......2005-10-24
Gene Wolfe is the perfect short story author. His stories are accessible to fans of any genre, but will be especially rewarding to fans of fantasy, s f, or magical realism. The stories in this book, although supposedly "new science fiction stories" really fall into all three of the above categories. I also purchased Wolfe's other fairly recent collection, "Innocents Aboard" and found it to be excellent also. Each book features a good mix of very short (2-3 page) stories, and longer, not quite novella length stories.
Wolfe's settings are diverse, ranging from a far off desert planet to a short story set on the far future "Urth" of his Book of the New Sun Series, to places as seemingly mundane as Houston, TX, or the set of a present dayish reality tv show. Of course, Wolfe's stories are never mundane, and it is in taking a place that holds no magic and twisting our perceptions so that we come away with a sense of wonder that Wolfe really excells.
Book Description
This landmark work presents the most illuminating portrait we have to date of goddesses and sacred female imagery in Western culture--from prehistory to contemporary goddess movements. Beautifully written, lucidly conceived, and far-ranging in its implications, this work will help readers gain a better appreciation of the complexity of the social forces-- mostly androcentric--that have shaped the symbolism of the sacred feminine. At the same time, it charts a new direction for finding a truly egalitarian vision of God and human relations through a feminist-ecological spirituality.
Rosemary Radford Ruether begins her exploration of the divine feminine with an analysis of prehistoric archaeology that challenges the popular idea that, until their overthrow by male-dominated monotheism, many ancient societies were matriarchal in structure, governed by a feminine divinity and existing in harmony with nature. For Ruether, the historical evidence suggests the reality about these societies is much more complex. She goes on to consider key myths and rituals from Sumerian, Babylonian, Egyptian, and Anatolian cultures; to examine the relationships among gender, deity, and nature in the Hebrew religion; and to discuss the development of Mariology and female mysticism in medieval Catholicism, and the continuation of Wisdom mysticism in Protestanism. She also gives a provocative analysis of the meeting of Aztec and Christian female symbols in Mexico and of today's neo-pagan movements in the United States.

Rational Assessment of the Divine Feminine.......2007-08-28
Prof. Ruether has done a fine job in avoiding the radicalizing polemics of the feminist movement and providing a balanced perspective of how the feminine aspect of holiness has been marginalized by patriarchy. She does this without waxing nostalgic about a fancied halcyon day when women ruled peacefully. She convincingly argues that this thesis was never established on anything other than an ideological wannabe basis.
Her final chapter, on the modern Wicca movement, provides a good foundation for establishing a tolerant view of how the feminine aspects of divinity can be incorporated into a holistic view of spirituality. I would have liked to have seen a more in-depth analysis of why the early christian fathers were so determined to eliminate the emphasis on feminine Wisdom and replace it with Jesus , but overall she has given an interesting accounting of the process whereby Christianity (especially the Protestant variety) has become an almost exclusively male preserve. This book is highly recommended for any student of early religion, the feminist movement or aboriginal spirituality.
Classic Ruether........2007-06-18
Throughout history, people have worshiped the divine via female as well as male images. Despite a history of patriarchal power structures, this phenomenon has gone on in Jewish and Christian communities, as well as Pagan ones, for millenia. Ruether provides a very readable history of this tension. I would also recommend Barbara Newman's book "God and the Goddesses" for a more detailed look at medieval Christianity in light of these questions.
Not only does this book provide a broad overview of Goddesses in Western culture, but it also provides one of the best clues to Ruether's overall method - the linking of a History of Religions school of thought with liberal and Catholic theologies. For readers struggling with some of Ruether's ideas in other contexts, this book offers a particularly clear example of how that method works.
Ruether's attention to the fact that people actively write histories (the past is not simply "discovered" whole) gives her an ease in breaking up her material on pre-history and matriarchy into two sections. At the outset of the book, she attempts to make clear what exactly we know about pre-history. In a later chapter, she examines various nineteenth-century theories about matriarchal pre-history and their various ideological implications not as accurate statements about the reality of pre-history, but as scholarly reconstructions that allowed people to think through the nature of gender relations in the writers' era.
One of the more provocative and surprising insights Ruether comes to in this book is the fact that throughout Western history, Goddesses and feminine images of the divine have very often been products of males' religious imaginations and devotion. While Ruether affirms the insight of various feminists that female images of the divine are important for women's spiritual well-being, she asks (but does not answer) why men have needed the Goddess. She notes how Goddesses within a religious symbol system can serve both male and female interests. Ruether characteristically shifts the question from images of the divine to practical tasks for justice and sustainability.
Please don't waste your money.......2007-03-30
I just love it. Here's another non-scientist accusing a world-renowned scientist (Marija Gimbutas) of being dogmatic (not to mention dead wrong about half of what she - Marija -- has ever written).
And then what does Ruether do? She dances out with dogmatic statements of her own. As my mother would say, "It's the pot calling the kettle black!" Take the following, for example: "The major stimulus for this development (from the relative peace and equality of the Neolithic to the Bronze-Age hell of war, slavery and poverty) came less from outside nomadic invaders and their horses and more from internal developments triggered by the accumulation of wealth" (p. 39).
How does Ruether - a theologian -- know with such certainty that "The major stimulus for this development came less from outside nomadic invaders and their horses and more from internal developments..."? One wonders: does she know anything about the vast literature on this particular subject? About the competing theories? Apparently not; she dismisses the entire area of research with one blithe paragraph bristling with certainty.
And how is it that a theologian is so certain that these internal developments were "triggered by the accumulation of wealth"?
Ruether doesn't seem to want to get to the truth in this book. It seems to me she wants to hide the truth. A big part of her agenda: We hafta hide the Neolithic Goddess because this goddess will hurt women. She says the Neolithic goddess "duplicates what I suspect is one of the key roots of the need of males to dominate females -- namely, it identifies women predominantly as the representatives of the `natural.' If women, and women alone, personify the forces of nature in the cycles of birth and death, either they need to be dominated by men in order to control these forces of nature, or they are the primary gender that will somehow `save' us from the destructive effects of millennia of male domination of nature" (pp. 39-40).
On the contrary, there's no reason to believe that a strong Neolithic goddess meant women and only women personified nature, or that there were no male gods anywhere in the time/culture period. Does Ruether have a time machine? Did she go back and check?
I'm afraid Ruether's speaking old-speak. Younger women today know that just because women give birth doesn't mean men see them as mere bodies walking around with no heads, abilities, capabilities, or important place in the larger world.
Ruether totally denies the Goddess of the relatively peaceful and healthy Neolithic and devotes almost her entire book to those goddesses that haunted the hellish Bronze and subsequent ages, all of which have been defined by war, conquest, subjugation, social ranking and poverty - right up to the present day.
It's distressing that many theologians these days assume they know enough about science to write books on the subject. Please, Ms. Ruether: leave the science to the scientists and stick to your Bibles.
A COMPREHENSIVE VIEW OF THE SUBJECT.......2005-07-05
This is an unusually well-balanced survey of goddesses in history and belief. Compared with other books on the subject, it offers more substantive material and there is an obvious effort to represent each point of view. The reader is given a full account of the manifold manifestations of goddesses throughout history as well as the various feminist viewpoints of today.

Stunning Photos.......2007-04-10
If you have a knack for decorating, and love warm, inviting interiors, then this is a book to add to your collection. It is not a how-to book, as the text is sparse, but the photos make quite a statement on their own.
The showcased homes are elegant, opulent, and well beyond the reach of the average homeowner. However, many ideas could be implemented on a smaller scale, and it does provide the reader with some ways to pull a room together. This book would be particularly helpful to those building or remodeling, or looking for ideas on how to give a room that "wow" factor.
Perla Lichi uses a warm color palette for the decorating in this book. Golds, browns, yellows, and rich woods dominate most rooms. The discussion of numerology was a distraction for me, but I could easily get beyond that and appreciate her incredible design talent. Every time I look through the book, I find more details that I could use in my own decorating. It's definitely a keeper.
Interior Dsign.......2006-08-04
Perla Lichi is one of the most talented designers I have ever seen. I have used many of the ideas from her two books as I built my own home. The pictures are fantastic and most of what she has done can be reproduced economically.

Nationally syndicated columnist and decorator to the stars Perla Lichi displays some of her inspired ideas to help homeowners think of ways to make their homes look like their always wanted them to look. More than 80 four-color photos.

Perla Lichi doesn't have any other concepts to decorate rooms, or what...? Is she married to the old world look? All the magazines containing her advertising show the same photographs as the book; what was the purpose of writing a book if you are not going to show anything new?
Pathetic; couldn't be worse!!
I DO Deserve a Beautiful Room...And Here's How I can Get One.......2001-04-06
Perla Lichi goes to great lengths to capture her clients' personalities and transform them into comfortable living environments. This is truly apparent in the book, "You Deserve Beautiful Rooms".
She is an interior designer who designs for the sheer love of the job. Her attention to detail as well as overall look and feel is represented in this book. There's even a chapter which matches Zodiac signs to the ideal room suitable for each astrological sign!

Fall-Out, Skin Deep Magazine Book Review, London, England.......2002-12-19
Many of you will know the name Bob Baxter from his role as Editor of the American tattoo magazine Skin & Ink. During the summer of 2001, Bob took a break from the mag for a couple of weeks and took to the road to gather material for this book. To many of us, a road trip, especially in the U.S., is the quintessential freedom experience. A road trip with the sole purpose of checking out the tattoo shops and artists along the way certainly isn't a bad way to spend a fortnight. The area that Bob chose for his book is the Pacific Northwest, basically covering the states of Oregon and Washington and dipping over the border to Canada, into British Columbia. This makes the book particularly interesting and pertinent for me, because this is one of my favorite parts of the world. I have been tattoed many times in Vancouver, B.C., and the very first article I ever had published in Skin Deep was an account of my own tattoo road trip through Canada. Tattoo Road Trip is a beautifully produced hardback book with the high production values we have come to expect from Schiffer. It is packed with luscious colour pictures showing the scenery, the characters and, most importantly, the tattoos that Bob came across along the way. The text is part travel journal and part interviews with tattooists famous and unknown. Names include well known artists such as Vyvyn Lazonga, Terry Tweed, Dave Shore, John the Dutchman, London Bellman and Dave Lum. Bob also interviews the world's most-tattooed woman, Krystyne Kolorful. Some people you may not be familiar with include Jennifer Billig, Aaron Bell, Teresa Johnson and many, many more. The book conveys the sense of adventure and the journey into the unknwon that accompanies a road trip. Bob Baxter's writing style, honed after many years as a journlaist, is clear and evocative with a wry touch of humor. The book touches on the tattoo history of the Pacific Northwest and the colourful characters of years gone by as well as giving a sense of the vibrant tattoo scene there today. Trouble is, reading it will have you itching to pack a bag, sling it in the back of the car and head on down the road. Hmmmmm, now that gives me an idea...

All about perspective.......2003-10-01
This is neither a "companion piece" nor a "tell-all" book. Equally, it is not a flimsy paperback stapled and glued together just in time for the band's next big tour. What Denise Sullivan does write (and write well, also) is much closer to an anecdote, a souveneir, a recalled event. She avoids the trite and passionless type of "rock'n'roll" review/expose we have to endure all the time and instead lets the reader get a glimpse not so much of the band REM, but of the people that REM exerted some influence on, or the people for whom REM mattered. Reading Sullivan's book, I am reminded of how one of my closest friends and I discuss REM -- from memory, from songs, from what has been happening in our lives. This book feels like a friend.
A Necessary Companion.......2001-11-11
Unlike most "rock-n-roll" books which often pander to the lowest common denominator -- which usually is the author's own personal bias barely hidden in the text and most often the lens through which we are forced to watch the history of the band/singer unfold -- Denise Sullivan gives us something better, and frankly, more fun. "TATP" offers an original and fresh perspective on a very enigmatic yet familiar college - rock - alternative - mainstream - wacky - superstar band. This book is a must-have for both the fan and fanatic. The writing is well-done, the subject matter well-handled. While almost everyone's favorite REM song and/or album may change over time, this remains my favorite book on the band.
An informative look at R.E.M........2000-04-02
This book was excellent. It was great to get a history of what went on by people who actually were there.Recommendwd if you are a fan of Mr. Stipe and Co. or just interested in a the history of great music that shaped a scene.
Great.......1997-10-03
You can't get much better than this -- personal accounts of people who actually were there. There is just as much information to be found here as in _It Crawled from the South_. It proceeds chronologically with great detail, and feeds the REM-fact hungry reader just what he/she wants.
