A Wonderful Story of Hope and Survival.......2003-10-06
Fusang is kidnapped from her tea-growing village in the mountains of China and shipped to San Francisco. While many of the other young women die on the journey, she survives and is sold into a brothel, becoming one of many women lining the windows of Chinatown. She is sought after because of her beauty and friendly nature and a wealthy, young Californian falls in love with her. However Da Yong, a notorious criminal is obsessed with owning her.
There's enough of the story right there to keep you tuning the pages of this five star story that is filled with wonderful writing. I just loved this book.

Eye-Opening Piece of History in Avant-Garde Style.......2001-06-13
This book sheds light on a really eye-opening bit of history in the free-for-all boomtown that San Francisco was in the late 19th Century. The style is interesting as well: a contemporary Chinese immigrant to the US speaks directly to a Chinese prostitute in the 19th Century, experiencing her life in those turbulent times and seeing what has changed and what has not. The prostitute, Fusang, is enigmatic because she defies categorization. She does not need to be rescued and, despite her lot, she is not an object of pity. She is who she is, accepts her fate, and has an almost Boddhisattva-like compassion for those who wrong her.
Interesting but not compelling.......2001-06-05
I understand why Harriet is the #1 reviewer - she put in words exactly how I felt about the book. I thought the setting and "history" of the period was interesting, but I just could not become attached to any of the characters.
hobbesian.......2001-04-19
Chris realized that he had never, ever understood Fusang. -The Lost Daughter of Happiness
Geling Yan, a widely respected young Chinese author, immigrated to the United States after the Tienanmen Square massacre. She is best known here for the movie Xiu Xiu : The Sent Down Girl, the script for which she cowrote with director and childhood friend Joan Chen, from Yan's own short story. In this new novel, set in the 1870s, she has borrowed a figure from history, Fusang, the most famous prostitute in San Francisco, and has imagined an unusual lover for her, a 12 year old white boy named Chris.
Approaching the issue of anti-Chinese racism through these two characters, she tells a tale of slavery, rape and murder, and, ostensibly, love. I say ostensibly because Chris and Fusang remain completely opaque throughout the novel; we can never comprehend their motivations or thought processes. One of the things that helps to make them so mysterious is that the novel is narrated by a female descendant of Fusang, who has gathered 160 texts about the Chinese experience in San Francisco, in an effort to understand her enigmatic ancestor's life.
I may well be wide of the mark here, but it seems like Yan's point may be that Fusang and Chris are equally incomprehensible to each other, as they are to us. In fact, though the novel has the structure of an epic love story, the message would seem to be that there is something fundamentally illusory in such interracial love affairs. At one point she says of Chris :
He has yet to realize that the infatuation one feels for what one cannot understand is just as violent as the animosity.
This linkage of racist hatred with cross-cultural romance, though awfully harsh, has more than a grain of truth to it. Equally stern is her later judgment of Chris, when he wants Fusang to marry him :
It is as if being with you, Fusang, is not a matter of anything so shallow as love or happiness, but rather a grand sacrifice. Or perhaps when love reaches this stage it crowds out ordinary feelings and becomes a doctrine, an ideal, that can only be realized through sacrifice. He is using you to enact his sacrifice for the ideal of love. He also wants to show everyone of his race and yours that his self-sacrifice will form a bridge across the racial divide.
It's hard to imagine a more stinging indictment of the kind of racial understanding which, though it masquerades as selflessness and acceptance of others, is really based as much on objectification of those "others" as is racism.
In what I found the most powerful passage of the book, which after all is an examination of racism and violence directed against Chinese-Americans, Yan, in discussing the causes of a riot, reveals just how universal and non-specific is the human hatred which fuels such incidents, and even links it to the Cultural Revolution in China :
Hatred is amazing. It makes people self-righteous; it drives them with a sense of mission. I'm not talking about revenge; that's too simple. People are born with a higher form of hatred, so immense it doesn't even need a target. Like love so vast no object is necessary. This kind of hatred can lie dormant for years, like a swell of darkness, and people are never even conscious of it. But once the darkness is breached, all rationality drowns and the things people do out of hatred serve only the purpose of fulfilling an overwhelming emotional need. Burning, smashing, killing, rape--they're all just channels. It doesn't even matter what started it, because people quickly become intoxicated by the sheer spectacle of destruction. Like love at the earth-shattering stage, hatred by this point feeds on itself, simply for its own sake. The pleasure of watching some person or thing destroyed by one's own hand is virtually orgasmic.
When I was a child I saw those sexual impulses they called the cultural revolution and those orgasms they called rebellion. The gratification of hatred produces the same rapture in everyone.
This is a very dark--though I would argue realistic--vision of human nature.
This darkness, combined with various scenes of violence, the emotional distance of the central characters, the sparseness of the author's prose, make this a book that many people will not enjoy. Quite honestly, I wasn't sure if I liked it until I thought about it for quite awhile. But ultimately, despite the somewhat harrowing nature of the story, the brutal honesty of Yan's ideas won me over. And the more I've thought about it, the more I appreciate it.
GRADE : A-
Interesting look at nineteenth Chinese immigrants in USA.......2001-03-28
Though the California Gold Rush was over two decades ago, many Chinese immigrate to Gold Mountain as they call San Francisco in hopes of making a fortune. However, not all the Chinese living in San Francisco voluntarily crossed the Pacific. For example Fusang was kidnapped in her homeland and brought to California where she was sold to serve as a prostitute used by many white males.
Only twelve, Chris finds Fusang's aloof detachment quite attractive and begins to obsess over the Oriental woman. This begins a lifetime in which Chris watches Fusang as her life unfolds mostly in a negative way over the next forty or so years.
THE LOST DAUGHTER OF HAPPINESS uses a real person (Fusang) to provide a glimpse at the American mistreatment and prejudice towards the first wave of Chinese immigrants. The historical setting is quite deep and enhances an intriguing plot. However, Fusang, though a genuine person, never comes across as real to readers. They never understand her motives in spite of following along side Chris forty years of her life. The same is said of Chris who is a fictionalized account of a prostitute follower, but his motives seem contrived. Geling Yan shows much talent especially in describing the era, but the inability for the audience to feel anything towards Fusang leaves the plot a bit short and disappointing.

Brilliant.......2004-04-05
Bruce Jones' long running conspiracy storyarc comes to a head in Split Decisions. Still reeling after his encounter with the Absorbing Man, Dr. Bruce Banner finds himself once again in the middle of the secret conspiracy to obtain a sample of Hulk blood. His old cohort Doc Samson is along for the ride, as is the seemingly invulnerable Sandra Verdugo, Bruce's old flame Nadia Blonsky, and the ever growing more mysterious Mr. Blue. Loaded with action and a surprising amount of mounting suspense, plus surprises, revelations, and plot twists galore; this is truly the best storyarc to hit the Incredible Hulk in quite some time, and Bruce Jones has proved himself once again to be just as incredible. Returning artist Mike Deodato has crafted some truly breathtaking artwork, and his comely renderings of the female form are the best in the business next to the great Jim Lee. All in all, comics today don't usually get better than this.

Book Description
There has been growing interest in recent years in the presence and image of blacks and blackness in classical antiquity. This pioneering and much-needed work is the first to survey and theorize blacks as seen by early Christian writers. Byron creates a solid and original foundation of theoretical arguments as the basis for her discussion of the presence of blacks in Christian antiquity. Her presentation of the critical analysis and sources side by side encourages the reader to engage with the material in a more sophisticated way.

Did this author do any research?.......2007-01-06
Again, we are subjected to another "Afrocentric" book that fabricates nonsense after nonsense.
The author does not allow fact and truth to get in his way, as he concocts yet another " everybody in the Bible was black" fairy tale.
Please do your research, and learn a very simple truth : The JEWS in the Bible were JEWISH!!!! Not a difficult concept to grasp, huh?
At this rate, I suppose Julius Ceasar, Ben Franklin, and George Bush will one day "become" Africans !!! Hey, if they do it to Jesus and the disciples, why not?
Thanks for reading.

Healthful as well as delicious, it's easy to see why the little Mediterranean dishes called meze work perfectly for cocktail parties, as part of a buffet table, or for a relaxed weekend dinner with family or friends. Greece-based cooking teacher Rosemary Barron's Meze: Small Bites, Big Flavors from the Greek Table focuses solely on that country's contribution to this delectable repertoire, and does so with an eye to their simple virtues--versatility and preparation ease. Her 60-plus recipes, which range from cold plates and salads to hot dishes, savory pies, and grilled specialties, feature the direct, zesty flavors of the Greek Islands; the result is easy-to-enjoy food like Peppered Greek Oregano Pork, Piquant Almond Figs, and Eggplants in Spicy Tomato Sauce--dishes most cooks can readily accomplish.
Part of the meze "plan" involves creating a simple Greek pantry from which the dishes can be quickly assembled. Following a section devoted to that setup, and a useful list of particularly quick and simple dish "sketches" (sprinkle drained canned tuna with sliced raw onion, olive oil, sea salt, and the tangy spice sumac and there's your meze), the book then presents other alluring recipes like Thyme-Scented Fish Souvlakia with Roasted Pepper Sauce, Savory Honey-Pear Pies, and Yogurt Chicken with Beets and Greens. An unusually detailed glossary includes not only ingredients but characteristic preparation methods like clay-pot cooking and equipment, such as sfongata skillets, a traditional iron pan for which readers can substitute more familiar equivalents. Illustrated with color photos throughout, Meze stands out among other similarly themed books for its concise thoroughness, clear instruction, and simple good taste. --Arthur Boehm
Book Description
As timeless as the azure waters of the Aegean, the little Greek dishes known as meze are perfect for today s way of eating. Author Rosemary Barron has compiled 65 of her favorite recipes- full of flavor and good health- from traditional small bowls of marinated olives and little cheeses to more substantial meat-filled pastries and grilled seafood. Meze gives advice on stocking the shelves with essential basics and offers helpful hints on preparing spectacular Mediterranean buffets or casual outdoor get-togethers without spending all day in the kitchen. Meze celebrates the art of slowing down, of savoring the simple, distinct flavors of Mediterranean ingredients, and of sharing the experience with friends and family.

A good buy........2007-06-04
This is an excellent little book. Could have used a few more pictures, but those that there are are inspirational. I have begun, since I received it, to work my way through, and my husband definitely noticed the difference in his dinner a couple of night ago! There are very few recipes that call for items difficult to obtain, and there was a great section on yoghurt-making and the making of little cheeses one can store in olive oil - very simple, and great for Christmas gift ideas. There's an excellent little conversion page @ the back of the book as well. This is the first meze book I've bought, but I'm definitely inspired to buy more. As the dishes are small and easy to make and most of them are served at room temperature they're really good for preparing beforehand and then you don't have to worry about synchronizing the food being ready with people's arrival. I'm looking forward to making many more items from this book. Recommended.

my inner crochet artist comes to life.......2004-06-20
What an awesome book. It didn't take much reading before I had to go out and get a hook and some yarn in order to try to co-create with Noreen Crone-Findlay. Although I hadn't held a crochet hook in over 25 years, her clear instructions and dazzling designs kept me motivated. Lest you be overly impressed, I did begin with Chubby Lady Bug on page 109, an adorable little being, and perfect for a beginner, or someone returning to crochet.
I can guarantee that if you like dolls in any of their creative manifestations, or like crochet, you will be held and nurtured by this wonderful book.
I love this book!!.......2004-06-05
I love this book. It's absolutely beautiful and magically inspiring. I want to start at the beginning and make every doll in it. Noreen gives plenty of info for beginners and those who like to work from a pattern yet leaves plenty of room for those who want to take her work off in their own direction. If you love dolls and crochet, do not fail to own this book.
Very Disappointing.......2004-05-24
I was very excited when I found out that Noreen Crone-Findlay was going to do an entire book on crocheted dolls. However after buying the book , andgetting a chance to go through it...I must say that I am very disappointed. It's perhaps the most disappointing book I've ever purchased. The dolls in it are very amateur in their presentation. Few of her examples/projects rise to a standard equal to that of someone just learning the craft. Most of the projects seem like an explosion of yarn. Your craft book dollars would be best spent elsewhere.
Crochet Art at it's best.......2004-04-04
I will try to keep it to a few words here but it will be hard. If you love dolls then you MUST get this book and if you like whimsical, creative, one of a kind projects you must get this book. A definite asset to your crochet library. Includes step by step very complete instructions for each doll, Hurry once the word gets out I am positive the supply will run out.

Crochet and Creative Design.......2007-10-08
This book is okay. It has alot of stitch patterns to use for creating your own designs, unfortunately the pictures are black and white so it is a little hard to make out what they look like. The beginning gives a few tips regarding gauge in designing. It also has illustrations to learn how to crochet and do the basics. The section on how to design did not really tell me anything new and it is not very extensive. It also has a section on how to Tunisian Crochet and it gives addition stitch patterns. It has a few pages of charts for color work and embroidery. It has a very small filet section followed by several pages of motif patterns.
This book also gives you stitch patterns for edgings and insertions. The Designers Guide gives a few helpful tips regarding designing clothing such as: A-line shaping, armhole and neck shaping and buttonholes. It also supplies a guide for standard body size measurements for children. If you are completely new to designing you may find this book helpful. And for the more advanced crocheters it is a satisfactory guide for stitch patterns, motifs and edgings.
Great crochet textures!!!!!!.......2002-06-20
This book doesn't have patterns, but beautiful textures and motifs and granny squares that you can use to make your own patterns. Perfect for a creative person that wants to make up their own pattern but needs a little help or inspiration.

Inspiration.......2007-07-20
I always enjoy when this book comes out. It is always chock full of logos that encompass many different design styles by some of the leading design firms in the country. After looking through this, I feel the design juices flowing and inspiration comes easy.
quantity, not quality.......2007-07-10
I recently ordered this book for our advertising agency. At a previous job, I had often used the first Big Book of Logos (white background on cover) as a reference for inspiration and looked forward to having a similar resource at this job. I ordered version 4 since I had so thoroughly used version 1 and wanted to see some new logos. Indeed, it turned out to be a big, fat book of logos, very similar to version 1. However, I was disappointed by the lackluster quality of some of the work included. This may be due in part to my eye as a designer improving since I was first dazzled by version 1 freshly out of college, but I think the more likely explanation is that the overall logo quality of version 4 is inferior to version 1. That being said, it's still a great resource to look through to get the juices flowing and to find ideas for different treatments and I will likely continue to reference it often.
Not that strong..........2006-10-29
I was actually really disappointed with this book. With as many good reviews as it got, I was very excited at the prospect of buying it. I (thankfully) went to the store to review it before purchasing. Yes, there are a lot of logos to glean ideas from, but most of the logos presented are weak and really could have been simplified or refined more. Two books of much stronger logos (which I bought instead of this) are Logos: From North to South America by Pedro Guitton, and LogoLounge: 2,000 International Identities by Leading Designers by Bill Gardner and Catharine Fishel.
Logo? Logo!.......2006-03-22
We can all use some inspiration, especially when it comes to logo design. If you are tired of your own doodles and your garbage can is starting to fill up with crumbled paper - look no further - David E. Carter's The Big Book of Logos 4 is the right vehicle to jumpstart your tired grey matter. If you are a designer or even the one who would hire a designer to create your logo, this book is a great source of inspiration. It features hundreds of examples from all walks of life and business, product and service. And since logos in many cases are used for more than just a business card and letterhead, the most interesting thing for me was, that the book is also interspersed with many real life product examples: logos come alive on package designs for energy drinks, soap, snacks, wine, vodka, shrimps, coffee, or you see them end up as billboards for bars, coffee houses and corporations, and we see examples where they cross over to merchandise and websites. It reminds us: know what you design for - logos have to be versatile and have to work for many media. Looking through this book, I'm often fascinated by the smart, effective and often simple solutions a designer has come up with and yet everybody who designs logos knows that we can sometimes be so close but walk in circles to get "It" right. That's when The Big Book of Logos 4 comes in handy. It gives our spent visual juices some greatly needed visual oasis. Get lost, be overwhelmed, by the cheer amount of logos and let them revive your senses. Feel inspired, stimulated and finally motivated. If you are like me, you may be surprised to find yourself think "I can do that!" - and then get that crumbled paper back out of the garbage!
Great Gift.......2006-02-15
I got this book as a Valentine's Gift! And I'm thrilled because I've been wanting it for a while. It has one of my logos published in it! Yeah! (you should buy it!)
Like any other logo book, it provides all sorts of great inspiration for your own creations. It's also quite sturdy and will hold well as a bookend to house all your other design books! :o)

Book Description
"The author's eye is wide open, and her writing is fresh, funny, and exhilarating."-Peter Matthiessen
"Marilyn Stablein's wry voice tells how it was, calmly and clearly, unadorned. . . . whether on the ground with sadhus and chapatis or in the sky with diamonds, these wry prose poems evoke a last epiphany of the best of East and West."-Keith Dowman, author of The Power Places of Tibet
In 1965, Stablein drops out of Berkeley and travels to India and Nepal with her lover. Their brief getaway turns into a seven-year stay. "There are times when I ask myself," Stablein writes, "What am I am doing here? My answer: to paint, to study a culture; to uncover its secrets; to listen to the whisperings, the sacred oral traditions; to learn by heart the names and faces of deities so I can capture their images on paper and strive to imbue each image with the greatness of its namesake, its spiritual essence. Art is my muse and practice. The world is my palette, artists my teachers; art lives and breathes in the people I meet."
In the heyday of the '60s Stablein encounters luminaries of the American counterculture like Ram Dass whom she accompanies to interview HH, the Dalai Lama, on the spiritual value of LSD. Later, when the Indian police come to arrest Stablein for having an expired visa, Kalu Rinpoche quips "The Buddha never had visas," and orders her to hide in a closet next to his tantric human bone costumes.
Includes photos and recipes.
Marilyn Stablein, writer, artist, and performer, is the author of seven books and a frequent performer of her work. Her art has been widely exhibited. She lives in the Hudson Valley and co-directs, with her husband, Alternative Books and The Uptown: A Performance Space in Kingston, NY.

A window into quiet daily workings of another land .......2004-11-08
Sleeping in Caves: A Sixties Himalayan Memoir is the true story of a woman who dropped out of Berkeley in 1965 to travel to India and Nepal with her lover. Their time there becomes a seven year stay in which she expresses herself through painting, and learns the secrets, wonders, and sacred essence of a profoundly spiritual culture. A smattering of black-and-white photographs and essays illustrate the award-winning author's dazzling journey through a rich and rewarding culture, and a brief glossary will prove helpful to readers unfamiliar with Indian, Nepali, and Buddhist terms. A highly recommended window into quiet daily workings of another land as observered and experienced. by Marilyn Stablein.
Kudos for Sleeping in Caves.......2003-10-10
I thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend Sleeping in Caves. The writing is beautiful and sensuous, and reveals exactly enough but never too much. I particularly admire the structure of the book, how it is not chronological and yet the reader can follow the progression of the journey. I loved how each chapter begins with an entry from The Pillow Book of Dreams or the writer's journal. The dreams are a complete delight in themselves.
I gave the book to a friend for her 50th birthday and she read it eagerly. She has been studying Islam and grappling with extreme monotheism. She reports that the book gave her a refreshing vacation and a welcome reminder of the abundance and diversity of deity.
