Quiet mind, Fearless Heart , Repost

By: Brian Luke Seaward
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons (October 25, 2004)
ISBN: 0471679992
Language: English
Paperback: 256 pages

From Publishers Weekly:

Seaward (Stressed Is Desserts Spelled Backward) offers a book to help the reader “overcome personal adversity” and bring “peace to the heart and soul.” The book’s four parts in turn discuss the nature and reality of stress; the relationship between stress and spirituality; practical strategies for finding equilibrium and letting go of stress; and some success stories. Throughout, Seaward intersperses brief meditation and journaling exercises. Yet the book feels hollow. While Seaward touches on some profound Taoist principles—as one might expect, given the book’s title—he fails to investigate these teachings in any depth. Instead, he uses them as a broad, a priori template for an “ageless wisdom” held by generic “wisdom keepers.” He then cites examples of this wisdom from a wide range of other sources and traditions, including Native American spirituality, Joseph Campbell’s writings, and DNA research. This lack of focus is exacerbated by the text’s habit of substituting unsatisfying anecdotes for a probing exploration of a given point. The result is a superficial amalgam of sweeping generalizations, inspirational clichéeés (”even the darkest night has bright stars!”), sentimental stories of triumph over adversity and quotes from the likes of Mother Teresa, Einstein and Lance Armstrong. Some of Seaward’s spirituality-based ideas for navigating stress may have dimension and weight, but his treatment leaves them feeling trivial.

Frequent Traveler's Guide: What Smart Travelers and Travel Agents Know

Alexander Anolik, John K. Hawks
Frequent Traveler's Guide: What Smart Travelers and Travel Agents Know
Sourcebooks
ISBN: 1572485027
March 15, 2005
PDF
300 pages
1.6 MB

In this dry but comprehensive volume, Anolik and Hawks have collected everything a seasoned traveler could ever need, from an in-depth discussion of the legal issues involved in traveling to tips on scoring that promised beach-view hotel room. The thoroughness they apply to the laws and regulations governing travel for American citizens is especially noteworthy. During these uneasy times, for example, many readers will be pleased to learn how to contact the obscure American Citizen Services and Crisis Management division of the State Department. And although the book's prose is hardly inspiring-those looking for a vivid armchair traveling companion should turn elsewhere-frequent travelers who know that today "one flight in forty has been cancelled, and one in four flights will not arrive on time" will find that the guide can truly help navigate all the technical ins and outs. There are sections on air travel, rental cars, hotel rooms, cruises, travel tours, international travel, travel agents, travel insurance, travel crimes and discrimination in traveling. Nearly every chapter ends with a comprehensive list of addresses and phone numbers for contacting airlines, hotels and the like. Casual travelers may find all the information they need in more user-friendly guidebooks; nonetheless, this volume is an excellent resource for those who travel often and widely.

Eldest

Surpassing its popular prequel Eragon, this second volume in the Inheritance trilogy shows growing maturity and skill on the part of its very young author, who was only seventeen when the first volume was published in 2003. The story is solidly in the tradition (some might say derivative) of the classic heroic quest fantasy, with the predictable cast of dwarves, elves, and dragons--but also including some imaginatively creepy creatures of evil.

The land of Alagaesia is suffering under the Empire of the wicked Galbatorix, and Eragon and his dragon Saphira, last of the Riders, are the only hope. But Eragon is young and has much to learn, and so he is sent off to the elven forest city of Ellesmera, where he and Saphira are tutored in magic, battle skills, and the ancient language by the wise former Rider Oromis and his elderly dragon Glaedr. Meanwhile, back at Carvahall, Eragon's home, his cousin Roran is the target of a siege by the hideous Ra'zac, and he must lead the villagers on a desperate escape over the mountains. The two narratives move toward a massive battle with the forces of Galbatorix, where Eragon learns a shocking secret about his parentage and commits himself to saving his people.

The sheer size of the novel, as well as its many characters, places with difficult names, and its use of imaginary languages make this a challenging read, even for experienced fantasy readers. It is essential to have the plot threads of the first volume well in mind before beginning--the publisher has provided not only a map, but a helpful synopsis of the first book and a much-needed Language Guide. But no obstacles will deter the many fans of Eragon from diving headfirst into this highly-awaited fantasy. (Ages 12 and up) --Patty Campbell

Eragon

Here's a great big fantasy that you can pull over your head like a comfy old sweater and disappear into for a whole weekend. Christopher Paolini began Eragon when he was just 15, and the book shows the influence of Tolkien, of course, but also Terry Brooks, Anne McCaffrey, and perhaps even Wagner in its traditional quest structure and the generally agreed-upon nature of dwarves, elves, dragons, and heroic warfare with magic swords.

Eragon, a young farm boy, finds a marvelous blue stone in a mystical mountain place. Before he can trade it for food to get his family through the hard winter, it hatches a beautiful sapphire-blue dragon, a race thought to be extinct. Eragon bonds with the dragon, and when his family is killed by the marauding Ra'zac, he discovers that he is the last of the Dragon Riders, fated to play a decisive part in the coming war between the human but hidden Varden, dwarves, elves, the diabolical Shades and their neanderthal Urgalls, all pitted against and allied with each other and the evil King Galbatorix. Eragon and his dragon Saphira set out to find their role, growing in magic power and understanding of the complex political situation as they endure perilous travels and sudden battles, dire wounds, capture and escape.

In spite of the engrossing action, this is not a book for the casual fantasy reader. There are 65 names of people, horses, and dragons to be remembered and lots of pseudo-Celtic places, magic words, and phrases in the Ancient Language as well as the speech of the dwarfs and the Urgalls. But the maps and glossaries help, and by the end, readers will be utterly dedicated and eager for the next book, Eldest. (Ages 10 to 14) --Patty Campbell

Memoirs of a Geisha

According to Arthur Golden's absorbing first novel, the word "geisha" does not mean "prostitute," as Westerners ignorantly assume--it means "artisan" or "artist." To capture the geisha experience in the art of fiction, Golden trained as long and hard as any geisha who must master the arts of music, dance, clever conversation, crafty battle with rival beauties, and cunning seduction of wealthy patrons. After earning degrees in Japanese art and history from Harvard and Columbia--and an M.A. in English--he met a man in Tokyo who was the illegitimate offspring of a renowned businessman and a geisha. This meeting inspired Golden to spend 10 years researching every detail of geisha culture, chiefly relying on the geisha Mineko Iwasaki, who spent years charming the very rich and famous.

American Indian Tales

With no written language, Native Americans living in the Lake Superior region passed their cultural identity down through the generations by way of stories. Far more than mere tales to amuse children, they passed along the collective wisdom of the tribes. In the 1830s, government Indian Agent and ethnologist Henry R Schoolcraft learned the language of these people and went out to collect and preserve their stories before the tribes disappeared under the westward rush of American civilization. Though these stories were recast as children's fairy tales in the 1920s, they contain much of the old wisdom of a culture which has largely disappeared.
