Book Description
A stylish, screamingly funny, razor-sharp look at the British aristocracy in decline, Hunting Unicorns introduces us to the owners of the vast Bevan estate: the Earl and Countess-charming and possibly round the bend; Daniel, their eldest son-funny and clever, but a hopeless alcoholic; and Rory-the younger brother mired in the tidying up of his family's well-meaning schemes. Adrift in a rapidly changing world, the Bevans cling to tradition while wrestling with taxes, tree blight, and the need to keep the family skeleton firmly in the cupboard.
Enter Maggie, an opinionated American journalist for the hard-hitting show Newsline. Far happier sending dispatches back from the trenches of war-torn anywhere, Maggie is none too pleased at being forced to research a documentary on the decline of England's upper classes. When these two worlds collide, no one is prepared for the fallout.
The story of two brothers bound by duty, and one woman who feels bound by no one, Hunting Unicorns is a delightful romantic comedy that explores loyalty, family, and, ultimately, having the courage to risk everything in the pursuit of what really counts.

Slow to Start- Fun to Finish!.......2007-03-09
This cleverly written novel was written w/ two protagonists- a woman AND a man. It was fun to read the two different points of view. However, it dragged in the first half of the book. Stick w/it, though, because the second half picks up and you'll be glad you hung in there to the end!
Surprise, surprise.......2006-04-06
I picked this up expecting a good English job of funny, witty writing, and was totally surprised. Although it is both of those things, it's also an unexpectantly touching story about family loyalty, what you'd give up for someone you love, and a reasonable defense of the value of the English artistocracy. An excellent read.
"I mean that's what primogeniture is all about!".......2005-06-05
Bella Pollen's venture into the world of the batty English aristocracy is a funny, entrancing tale of family secrets, true love, and ancestral loyalty. The eccentric Alistair and Audrey, the Earl and Countess of Bevan, have for years lived in their own little world, clinging onto a tradition, even though it has driven them almost to bankruptcy.
The problem is that Alistair and Audrey both love to drink, and have even passed this gene onto their alcoholic older son Daniel. But Daniel's younger and more responsible brother Rory - angry, self-mocking, and strictly teetotal - "expends much energy fighting this gene." Lately, Rory has become increasingly concerned about his aging parents ability to cope with the vast Bevan Estate.
Bills remain unpaid, repairs are not attended to, with the verbs "jettison or to discard totally against their religion." In a fit of reckless behaviour, Rory conceives of Stately Locations, a business, which combines aristocrats who desperately need money to keep their homes, with interested moneyed parties who want to appreciate the history and beauty of some of England's great houses, not normally open to the public.
Enter American Maggie Monroe, a journalist for New York's hard-hitting current affairs show Newsline. She's independent, feisty, and fearless, the more cutting-edge the story, the happier she is.
Maggie's next assignment turns out to be an in-depth documentary on the decline of England's ruling classes, with a brief to "revisit Brideshead for the twenty-first century." At first, she's furious at being sent to cover a "tea party," but her ambitious boss tells her, "After one thousand years of aristocratic rule, it's an historically relevant end of an era."
Is the English aristocracy a dying breed, who after centuries of bad behaviour, are finally getting their comeuppance? Maggie, who shares the narrative with Daniel, is intent to find out, and she steadily becomes bemused and bewitched by these dotty, old English eccentrics.
Maggie throws herself into her new assignment with gusto, and is automatically drawn to the single-minded Rory, who, through Stately Locations, sets up a number of locations for her team. When she discovers that Rory is to be an uninvited chaperone on the first stop of her journey, the sparks really begin to fly and the couple clashes in unanticipated ways.
Maggie eventually finds herself torn between her journalist ideals - her need for a story, with a desire for a greater understanding of English country life. Whilst Rory becomes increasingly protective of Alistair and Audrey's propensity for foot in mouth, "their talent for causing embarrassment for simply, being themselves."
The transatlantic culture clash absolutely sparkles when Maggie interviews one Sir Lord Montague. Lord Montague is of the opinion that "we have culture, you have Star Trek. Tradition is the law we live by, whilst tradition in US is that revolting little children's habit of begging for sweets at Halloween."
Pollen successfully imbues her eccentric, unconventional characters with a remarkable amount of compassion: Rory's Nanny, is 95 years old and holds incredible scorn for older people and is "disgusted at younger generations taking to their beds;" she is of the attitude that "that bad breeding is cured by good upbringing." Readers can't help but love her and will probably empathize with her dotty, doddering old ways.
Although the plot is largely fuelled by slapstick and caricature, and at times reads more like a budding screenplay, the novel as a whole, is a surefire, and deftly written romantic comedy that paints an endearing and winning portrait of a family, which like so many others, manages to hold itself together despite its unmistakable frailties.

Impossible to put down.......2005-01-19
I picked this book up for the title. Well, that and the fact that I'm a Brit. living in America and have a weakness for English writers. I love romance and comedy. But I love smart writing more. The three are not always compatible. In this book they are. I howled with laughter many, many time, and loved the author's use of language.
When I realized one of the narrators was dead I thought "oh,oh. A Lovely Bones wannabe?" But this novel is unique. Not like anything else I've read. And the narration is perfect. I loved the characters (American and English). I loved the plot (even though I know some of the 'urban' myths quite well!). I loved the details. I loved the linen cupboard. In fact, I loved everything. I'm off to check out Bella Pollen's other novels!
A real gem from a British author........2004-11-16
I totally loved this book. I bought it on the spur of the moment because i loved the cover and because my own family has had problems with alcholism. I'm not sure what i was expecting exactly but it turned out to be a real gem. An amazing insight into the wierd world of the brit aristocracy . Normally the aristocracy are portrayed as caricatures but bella pollen really seemed to get under the skin of these people.I found the relationships touched on , father and son, the two brothers to be incredibly touching and real. The world this book is set in might be archaic and insular as the author suggests, but their problems are certainly universal.

Very Good Read.......2007-05-06
I liked reading this book because of the likeable characters and consistent humor.
Series Starts with a Bang.......2007-03-06
Several years ago when Texan Millionaire Jacob received lung injuries in an oil fire, his respiratory therapist was prim and proper Christine. Ever since then, he has teased her every chance he gets. She is so uptight he just can't help himself and it drives Christine insane because Jake doesn't take life seriously enough. When Christine realizes that some items at an auction belong to notorious outlaw Jessamine Golden she plans to bid on them and donate them to the museum she volunteers at. Jake outbids Christine just to aggravate her and taunts her that in order to get the items she will have to go on a date with him. Christine knows Jake is just toying with her. She knows he could never be interested in her but when her friend talks her into a makeover she can't deny the attraction she sees in Jake's eyes. Jake is blown away by Christine, he just wanted to tease her a little but when he sees her new look he can't help being tempted. Jake knows Christine is the forever kind of girl and he isn't that kind of guy, but when she approaches him to help her discover her inner bad girl he can't resist.
I found this story sweet and amusing...Christine is fighting the stigma of an abusive childhood and Jake just doesn't believe the family life is for him but the two have chemistry that makes it inevitable that they will end up together.
Cattleman's Club Secret Diary.......2006-03-20
Cindy Gerard kicks off another Cattleman's Club series "The Secret Diary" with the very entertaining "Black-Tie Seduction." This book has some one-liners that made me laugh out loud. Ms. Gerard really developed her characters well. Can't wait to read the rest in this series; hope the other books have as much laughter, lovin', and mystery.

Directions from a spiritual master.......2007-02-14
Psychologist--Priest, Henri Nouwen is the author of 40 books on the spiritual life read widely by Catholics and Protestants. His book The Wounded Healer is required reading for psychotherapists. He taught at the Menninger Foundation, Yale, Harvard and in his last years shared his life with the developmentally disabled at the L'Arche Daybreak community (referring to Noah's ark) in Toronto, founded by Jean Vanier. Here he found in the small society of the handicapped a paradigm for a society governed by fear.
Vanier said to Henri Nouwen at a retreat, "Working with mentally handicapped people, I have come to recognize that all human beings, whatever their condition, are called to intimacy, fecundity, and ecstacy." Jesus refers to this holy triad in John 15 4-17: "Remain in me, and I will remain in you." (15:4) This certainly is an invitation to intimacy. "If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing." (15:5). This is a call to fecundity. "I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete." (15:11). Here we have ecstasy. In this book Nouwen shows how the relationship of these three Christian elements are essential to a life of love and hope.
Intimacy is a divine gift allowing us to transcend fearful distance as well as fearful closeness, and to experience a love before and beyond all human acceptance or rejection. The opposite side of the coin of intimacy is solidarity. We cannot claim intimacy with God if we ignore our fellow human beings. It becomes our task to strive toward harmony among all people thereby our "intimacy manifests itself as solidarity and solidarity as intimacy." (Nouwen, p. 45).
Ecstasy comes from the Greek work "ekstasis" where "ek" means out of and "stasis" means to stand still. Nouwen observes, "To be ecstatic literally means to be outside of a static place. Thus, those who live ecstatic lives are always moving away from rigidly fixed situations and exploring new, unmapped dimensions of reality. Joy is always new." (P.,,,,) We can have old pain, old grief, old sadness, but we cannot have old joy. Joy is not being happy with some passing pleasure, but an inner bubbling up which permeates the entire body.
The rarely used word, Fecundity, means fruitful but it is not to be confused with productivity. Students complain of too much homework, deadlines for papers, and preparation for tests. Interestingly, the word "school" comes from "schola" meaning free time. Schools were originally meant to interrupt a busy schedule and make time to contemplate the mysteries of life. Being fruitful I have to give up my defensive life and become vulnerable. When I realize that you and I share some weaknesses and can confess that with each other, then I am vulnerable. This levels the playing field. we have emphasized productivity to the point where competition rules, television advertisements must be adhered to (or you are not going to be good enough), making your quota, earning more money, buying more things and even in our most intimate and vulnerable moments we need to deliver
Nouwen writes much in this book about fear and how it governs our lives. Fear gives our power to act away to another person, a mob or a demagogic government. We echo the refrain "What if. . .?" Fear is a weapon we turn on ourselves. Fear reproduces itself, and like a muscle, gets stronger with use and its prodigy are anger, despair, depression, cruelty, isolation, destruction, and war. When St. John writes "Perfect love casts out all fear," he is talking of God's love. This love, this knowing, grows a feeling of belonging, a feeling of home. "I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever." (Psalm 23)
If we can be disciplined in our spiritual life, we can come closer and closer to home. This involves intimacy with self (through solitude), knowing our Self, our shadows and listening to God. It is here, at home in God, that we can unmask and see through the illusions created by our fears. And finding this home reauires prayer: "Those who have made the prayer of the heart a daily practice come to experience it as a simple, yet beautiful way to their true home. It gradually leads us away from the house of fear and moves us closer to the house of love, God's house." (p..40)
Let me end with the word on one who knew fear and how through her life and work kept it at bay through her love and devotion to God. Ester "Etty" Hillesum was, like Nouwen, born in Holland. Before she and her family were murdered at Auschwitz, she kept a diary that was published posthumously. In it she wrote this prayer:
"Dear God, these are anxious times. Tonight for the first time I lay in the dark with burning eyes as scene after scene of human suffering passed before me. I shall promise You one thing, God, just one very small thing: I shall never burden my today with cares about my tomorrow. . ... I shall try to help You, God, to stop my strength from ebbing away . . . All that really matters is that we safeguard that little piece of You, God, in ourselves. .. . l. defend Your dwelling place inside us to the last. ... And there are those who want to put their bodies in safe keeping but who are nothing more now that a shelter for a thousand fears and bitter feelings. And they say, "I shan't let them get me into their clutches." But they forget that no one is in their clutches who is in Your arms." An Interrupted Life, New York: Pantheon, 1984, pp. 151-52).
A commentary on John 15.......2007-01-10
I was reading John 15 one day for my quiet time about 5 years ago. I read about the abiding and the joy. I decided that I did not often feel "at home", nor was the joy discribed here very tangible to me. I decided to hang out on this chapter until I felt some sense of home and some joy. I had found this book for $1.50 at a used book store. I bought it because I loved Nouwen's other books. I put it on my "to read later" shelf. I did a search on the internet for John 15 books and this one came up. I remembered I had it. I read it, slowly. Fr. Nouwen has many great insights into what abiding in Christ (or making yourself home in God as some translations put it) really means. This book moved me big time, and eventually led me to start a practice of centering prayer, where I just hang out with God. In this place I feel this "home" with God that is discribed in John 15. Much joy has come in that place. I try to go there several times a day. I stayed in john 15 and in this book for sometime (over a year) as I tried to put into pratice the priciples that are suggested in this book, it was well worth it.
Fear is the manifestation in negative of faith.......2006-09-01
fecundity means consciousness
Fear is the manifestation in negative of faith.
Whenever a person feel fear they are using all the techniques for creation in negative degree.
The person will pronounce the words that describe their fear, will probably visualize with great clarity that which could happen to them, will feel on their body the reactions that fear produce and finally if we insist on this process the manifestation of that which is feared will very easily
come true.
When the author refers to our "home" or holly space is an internal place. where we can trust God unconditional love and
see the bigger purpose runnig behind the scenes through which we manifest all degrees of fear.
This is a very good lesson that repeats on me.......2006-03-04
I go back to this book from time to time. I believe that I first saw the citation for it in Sandra Wilson's book "Into Abba's Arms". I read it first as I was separated from my wife. It was a painful time. Jesus used to the book to lift my spirits, and change my outlook. The book also showed me some reasons why intimacy was hard to achieve (because I wasn't trusting in God's love), and why I would get trapped in striving (to please, to be noticed, to get attaboys) because I wasn't really fruitful (because I wasn't trusting in the Father's love), and why I thought that as a good Christian that enjoying God's blessings in a hooting and hollering way was, well just not proper (because I didn't know how much an Abba delights to see the grin on his son's and daughter's faces). A part of the real good news of Jesus Christ is both the abundant life (more to be intimate with, more fruitfulness, more ecstacy, and sometimes more suffering -- but in love) and the fact that God's love when it runs its course, drives out the fear. Though not addressed much in the book, I also covered fear with anger which made me feel powerful, but sometimes hurt others. Far better to let God's love replace the fear. I almost didn't buy the book because I didn't know what fecundity meant, and I feared the book would not be understandable. I found it very approachable, and easy to understand. I am glad the Lord kept after me to buy the book.
A solid, inspiring book.......2000-05-13
Henri Nouwen has never written a bad book. If you're a fan of Fr. Nouwen, you'll again be touched by this simple, practical and penetrating book.
I especially liked the chapter on fecundity, a word not much used these days. He focuses on the difference between being fecund or "fruitful" vs. productive. In our post modern culture, we have the daily, desperate experience of living without bearing fruit. We are busy producing but little is life giving or fruitful. He has some good thoughts and practical solutions. He is so very warm and enjoyable to read.
I'm looking forward to reading this book again.

Book Description
China to Chinatown tells the story of one of the most notable examples of the globalization of food: the spread of Chinese recipes, ingredients and cooking styles to the Western world. Beginning with the accounts of Marco Polo and Franciscan missionaries, J.A.G. Roberts describes how Westerners’ first impressions of Chinese food were decidedly mixed, with many regarding Chinese eating habits as repugnant. Chinese food was brought back to the West merely as a curiosity.The Western encounter with a wider variety of Chinese cuisine dates from the first half of the 20th century, when Chinese food spread to the West with emigrant communities. The author shows how Chinese cooking has come to be regarded by some as among the world’s most sophisticated cuisines, and yet is harshly criticized by others, for example on the grounds that its preparation involves cruelty to animals.Roberts discusses the extent to which Chinese food, as a facet of Chinese culture overseas, has remained differentiated, and questions whether its ethnic identity is dissolving. Written in a lively style, the book will appeal to food historians and specialists in Chinese culture, as well as to readers interested in Chinese cuisine.

Cats Eyes and Chow Mein.......2006-02-11
The book 'From China to Chinatown' gives a great overview of the history of Chinese food, but only concerning attidutes westerners have towards it.
Part I is about the views from mostly travellogs from Europeans in China. From Marco Polo to know we see what has horrified them like the eating of cats and dogs, rats and such. It shows also that the eating culture in China is somewhat linked to the political culture as well.
Part II is about the Chinese food in the West, notably the US (stressing California the most) and England. We see how tastes have been changing over two years and how the food is geared towards the western taste. Chow Mein for example was developed in America.
If you like Chinese food and all it's facets this book is money well spent.
How the most exotic of cuisines becomes the most familiar.......2005-04-20
It'll take more than one book to help us grasp how the most alien of cuisines became the most commodified, but J. A. G. Roberts' book is an important beginning. Well researched and well thought-out, it is also a great read, highly suggestive without bogging us down with ponderous sociology. Half a day later you'll want to read it again.
How Fried Rice & Spring Rolls Became Part of Our Diet.......2004-10-27
I had been waiting for a book like this - a major addition to the canon on Chinese food. Lots of great stories from both the east and west. It focuses on the United States and the United Kingdom. Though it is not a problem, the author is oddly detached, from the stories he retells so well from historical records. It is a little repetitive in the use of examples.

Major evaluation of the Mongol impact on history.......2001-01-16
The Mongol empire was founded early in the thirteenth century by Chinggis Khan and within the span of two generations embraced most of Asia, becoming the largest land based state in history. The united empire lasted only until around 1260 but the major successor states continued on in the Middle East, present day Russia, Central Asia and China for generations, leaving a lasting impact much of which was far from negative on these areas and their peoples. The papers in this volume present new perspectives on the establishment of the Mongol empire, Mongol rule in the eastern Islamic world, Central Asia and China, and the legacy of this rule. The various authors approach these subjects from the view of political, military, social, cultural and intellectual history. Most of the essays offer original research and visit major controversies in Mongol studies. Now that the volume is priced for individual purchase the volume should become an optional text for class use. The book is a must-read for the specialist and worth a close look by generalists.

Book Description
How did our ancestors die? Whereas in our own day the subject of death is usually avoided, in pre-Industrial England the rituals and processes of death were present and immediate. People not only surrounded themselves with memento mori, they also sought to keep alive memories of those who had gone before. This continual confrontation with death was enhanced by a rich culture of visual artifacts. In The Art of Death, Nigel Llewellyn explores the meanings behind an astonishing range of these artifacts, and describes the attitudes and practices which lay behind their production and use.Illustrated and explained in this book are an array of little-known objects and images such as death's head spoons, jewels and swords, mourning-rings and fans, wax effigies, church monuments, Dance of Death prints, funeral invitations and ephemera, as well as works by well-known artists, including Holbein, Hogarth and Blake.
