Green Algae, I: Molecular Biology

Book Description

Tall and bronzed by a western sun and wind, Donald Morrison was no one’s fool and he liked it that way. He was a gun-slinging hero back in the 1880’s who honed his skill as a cowboy riding the Chisholm and Shawnee Trails.

But his life changes when he is summoned home to the Eastern Townships of Quebec, just up from Vermont. His family was in danger of losing the precious homestead, and they knew Donald was the one to set it right.

In trying to wrest back the farm, Donald is drawn into a series of turns that ultimately lead to a dramatic western-style gunfight in the sleepy town of Megantic. He is forced to shoot first to save his own life, an act of self-defense, which becomes a charge of murder.

This is the true story of one young man's fight against greed perpetuated by the moneylenders. Against those in high places who took advantage of immigrants coming to a new land to find peace, but finding only anguish and hardship.

WANTED is a remarkable story of courage, of love, greed and betrayal, of fiery passions and a man willing to face life on its own terms.

The factual account of one of Canada's real outlaws....Wallace certainly must be one of the most informed on the subject. Featured in the BBC Hstorical documentary on the subject. Interesting and easy reading...if you like Canadian History

Wonderful Book.......2007-04-13

I initially borrowed this book from the library but after reading it I knew I had to have a copy of my own. The instructions are well written and easy to follow. The photos are beautiful as well. I also purchased this author's book on Celtic Knots at the same time. I make hemp jewelry and needed some new inspiration, this book will certainly provide it.

Chinese Knots for Beaded Jewelry.......2007-01-11

If you forgot how to do all those macrame knots from your younger years this is a great book to help.

Take a beautiful focal bead, add a cord and instead of just letting it dangle around your neck,this book will teach you how to create Chinese Knots to embellish a cord around your bead and create a work of art. Included are close up step by step pictures in full color to help guide you along the way. It is a very helpful addition to my jewelry making library.

Very easy to follow the instructions. This is the type of book I had been looking for. It's absolutely wonderful.

Book Description

Becoming a mother takes more than the physical act of giving birth or completing an adoption: it takes birthing oneself as a mother through psychological, intellectual, and spiritual work that continues throughout life. Yet most women’s stories of personal growth after motherhood tend to remain untold. As writers and mothers, Andrea Buchanan and Amy Hudock were frustrated by what they perceived as a lack of writing by mothers that captured the ambiguity, complexity, and humor of their experiences. So they decided to create the place they wanted to find, with the kind of writing they wanted to read.

This unique collection features the best of the online magazine literarymama.com, a site devoted to mama-centric writing with fresh voices, superior craft, and vivid imagery. While the majority of literature on parenting is not literary or is not written by mothers, this book is both. Including creative nonfiction, fiction, and poetry, Literary Mama celebrates the voices of the maternally inclined, paves the way for other writer mamas, and honors the difficult and rewarding work women do as they move into motherhood.

Great Gift.......2007-03-20

A book even designed with busy mom's in mind. I was able to read brief snatches in between snack time and dragon hunts. The images and language are with me even after the book is finished. This is a collection of writers talented enough to do motherhood justice. It goes beyond the sentimental fluff flooding the mother market. Read it not only for the insight it provides on parenting but also as an example of great writing. It is a perfect mix of poetry, fiction and essays. Great gift for Mother's Day!

Helps you find your brain.......2007-02-07

I knew I still had a brain but I didn't know where it was until I found it again by reading these smart, funny, touching and poignant essays, poems, stories. One thing I liked about this collection that made it more interesting than many other similarly themed books is that a number of different literary forms are included. Like any collection some pieces are better than others but overall the quality is high and all are short enough to read in the moments between feedings and diaper changes.

A Frank and Honest Collection of Writing About Motherhood.......2006-03-16

This book is a collection of essays edited by Andi Buchanan and Amy Hudock of LiteraryMama.com -- a website that has raised the bar for writing about motherhood both on and offline.

What I love about this collection of writing is what I love about LiteraryMama.com: the fact that it reflects the reality of motherhood. The writing isn't saccharine and cutesy. Rather, the book is honest enough to admit that there are times when we are disappointed and frustrated and angry with our kids -- and times when we feel guilty for feeling that way -- as well as times when we feel so happy about having a chance at motherhood that we are almost giddy.

Here's something else I love Buchanan and Hudock's collection. Rather than limiting themselves to "name brand writers", Buchanan and Hudock have sought to give voice to both well-known and lesser-known writers. The result is a highly personal collection of memoir, reflections, and poetry from a highly diverse and talented group of everymoms. Highly recommended.

So good I won't keep it!!!!!.......2006-01-12

Amazon.com recommended this book to me and since it was so reasonably priced and close to the lack of control on spending that is the holidays I decided to take a chance, and I am so very glad that I did. This anthology is so good in fact, that I can't keep it all to myself. I am going to give it away once I'm done. I'll buy another one later - when I want to read something again, and do the same with it.

I knew I would love it halfway through the introduction because they started referencing all these writers/editors whose work I loved - Ariel Gore, Mothers who Think, etc. Also, they list many names that I haven't heard, giving me new books to explore after I am finished with this one.

I've only finished the first section, but every single one of those prose pieces has spoken some universal truth that struck me very hard and deeply. Longing for solitude, anxiety on how the world will treat a unique child and the despair that it might be "beaten" out of her, children as unknowing masters of allusion and metaphor... not ten minutes after reading that line my daughter compared a dead leaf still clinging to the tree, blowing gently in the wind to a worm on a see saw, other lines mention how children have helped the writer slow down and pay attention to the "now," when other mothers warned her that life was about to get much faster.

Great, great stuff.

I was immediately brought back to an advanced writing course I took in college. My daughter was an infant and I tried to use that course to sublimate the anxieties from having my life completely transformed. However - it was a course full of college kids and was even TAUGHT by a college kid (a graduate student)! They didn't trash my work by any means, but NONE of them, not even the teacher, could relate.

There is a piece in this book, which the Web site dubbs a "literary reflection," that references Henry David Thoreau and Walden Pond.

This peice is special to me in particular because we had covered Thoreau - a walking piece - in the writing class. Mine was rather Seinfeldian, about nothing, but I wanted it to flip between a woman "living in the moment" and her fight with all the stupid minutiae that gets in the way of that, what to cook for dinner, etc. I wasn't successful - but I didn't have the words to explain what I was trying to do. The piece in that book helped me find those words. Man, when my teacher said that the best way to learn good writing is to read good writing - she wasn't kidding. The story in this book triggered my mind to be able to work on a peice that I hadn't touched in FIVE YEARS!

This book is not just for writers, however. I spent those five years READING in order to preserve my sanity, not writing.

The final evidence that you should get this book - you're just going to have to trust me on this one - I was actually underlining passages that felt like they were directly for me. I assure you that I don't do that, and I used to scoff at those who did. I thought it was incredibly pretentious and just plain dorky.

But now I get it. I hope you will too.

Angels amongst us.......2001-12-06

This book is full of Andy Lakey's spiritual three dimensional art, featuring mostly his angels. Besides the full color prints, included are personal insights into his journey that led him to creating his art (he was a car salesman before) and various testimonials about the impact of his art. Skeptics might be turned off and discount him as just another new age spiritualist. However, the fact of the matter is, he has had a positive impact on many people and that is what this book and his art is about. His now famous 2000 angel series for the millenium was the impetus for his effect on countless people. The book is very easy to read and often repetitive, hence the minus one star, but the message is clear and his art shines and brightens the hearts and souls of many people. The oversized print is a background to the dazzling visual imagery Lackey employs with his angels. Of particular interest are the various stories of other people who have been touched by his art, most notably the blind, including Ray Charles. His art is collected by many people, including such luminaries as former Presidents Carter and Ford, Ed Asner, Gloria Estefan and Pope John Paul II, amongst others. This is primarily an art book but the related included stories are an additional bonus. This would make a great gift book, especially but not limited to someone who likes art or needs uplifting guidance. The angels and three dimensional art that come in the book can be enjoyed many times over. The stories will astound you.

A truly loving story, direct from the heart.......1997-07-12

After being burnt out on intellectual self-help books I was guided by a dear friend to read Andy's well-illustrated book of angels. At first I thought it was doctrinaire, in a dry theological Sunday school way. I was in for a surprise, as the gentle, truly spiritual (as opposed to pious or religious) description of ever-present Angel guides began to take shape. Free of worn-out cliches and aphorisms; it left me with an exhilarating, playful awareness of Angels standing by us in our most everyday activities. A beautiful, sweet and visually trippy book. -J.

THIS BOOK HAS CHANGED MY LIFE. THANKS KEITH....

A MUST READ.......1999-09-09

This was the first book of Keith's that I'd read, and I was totally engrossed with the stories. The allegories convey ideas on many levels, and it's a book that allows readers to walk away with different levels of insight, depending on the individual reader's personal knowledge. What you gain from reading this book is proportionate to what you bring to the table. I see myself rereading this book ten years from now and, hopefully, understanding it on a higher level. Anyway, this is a must read.

A TRULY INSPIRATIONAL BOOK FOR EVERYONE TO READ.......1999-07-23

I am a student at UNLV our local University in Las Vegas, NV and in a "paranormal" class with Dr. Raymond Moody who wrote LIFE AFTER LIFE and as a part of the classwork he brought Andy Lakey and Keith and Francesca Richardson of the THINGS FROM HEAVEN BOOK STORE in Ventura, CA where they sell Andy Lakey paintings and jewelry. After hearing these TRUE STORIES of so-called Miracles that have occurred in this Store as a result of Andy's paintings I immediately bought this book as I am a TRUE BELIEVER IN ANGELS myself. I whole heartedly recommend this book to everyone. A MUST READ as it teaches and inspires and gives testimonials from people who have actually been HEALED from going into this Angel Store and being around these paintings. These stories will give people more FAITH IN A HIGHER POWER (not religious necessarily) to assist them in opening their own HEARTS to "so-called miracles" and accepting this can happen to them (regardless of the appearance) and to their loved ones too. A TRULY INSPIRATIONAL BOOK FOR EVERYONE TO READ.

Inspiring, moving and very spiritual, The best angel book........1999-03-17

This is the best book I have read on spirituality and the human soul. It is written so that even a sceptic will find reason to believe in God and His Angels. The author takes you on a spiritual journey that shows that although people have free will when something is God's will there is nothing anyone can do to stop it. I found the book moving and very inspiring, It is not just another cute book of angel stories. It is template that gives its readers hope and a plan for living a fuller, happier life.

Book Description

Written by Adam of Eynsham, Hugh's chaplain and inseparable companion in the last years of the saint's life, this biography chronicles the life of Hugh of Lincoln, who combined ardent religious belief and practice with an active life of administration, legal skill, patronage of scholars, and
the building of his cathedral. Originally published in 1961, and now with a new preface by the editors, this is one of the fullest and most authentic accounts of the life of a saint to have come from medieval England.
