Doc O'Barker loves to share his views with you. This simple introduction to meditation is geared to the hearts and minds of Mr. O'Barker's fellow conservatives. Herein we find (1) important lessons on how we might increase our patriotism; (2) unnecessary but delicious humor about our cat-like adversary (liberals); and (3) nose-thrilling practical tips on how to enjoy life even when we are not getting our way. From the open-hearted folks at The Whole Salamander, Doc's Meditation Guide is written with love for the conservatives in our lives, and with a wry awareness of the conservative qualities within the liberal, as well as the liberal qualities of the conservative. As unsettling as it is, we are more alike than different!

The old, simple spirit of Colleen "Moondust" Nicholson speaks to us through layers of generations, hitting our hearts with a perfect bullseye. This is a loving, fun, and inspiring epistle, a must-read for women contemplating motherhood.... as well as empty-nesters looking back. Colleen also empathizes with, and addresses, the grief of the warrior attempting to find his way home. For a wide audience. It's well-written, worthwhile, and a fast read.

<p>A HIGHLY ACCLAIMED, RIVETING DRAMA A HAUNTING PICTURE OF AMERICA Could two people be more enviable than Richard and Helen Bittenberg? They love each other, have two healthy, intelligent children, and are financially comfortable. Richard is at the top of his profession. They live in a desirable neighborhood in Washington, D.C., the capital of the most powerful nation in the world with its culturally rich and cosmopolitan atmosphere. Yet Richard is distraught. It seems to him that perverse, irresponsible forces are destroying the country he loves. Troubled by his powerlessness, he seizes a daunting, wholly unexpected opportunity to act. He is drawn into tense, sometimes harrowing circumstances that tax his conscience, courage, and endurance to the utmost. Helen worries about his increasingly stressed condition, but she does not know its real cause. Suddenly, she finds herself in the middle of a nightmare of her own. Helen and Richard must independently handle grueling ordeals, one involving secret political machinations, one involving an agonizing police investigation. The narrative keeps tightening its grip on the reader. The milieus of the novel are Washington, D.C., Paris and environs, and Charleston, South Carolina. Though intensely suspenseful, this is no ordinary thriller. An absorbing moral drama with an epic dimension, it forms a trenchant, thought-provoking commentary on the state of America and the Western world. This novel has received very high praise. It has been compared to the fiction of George Santayana, Thomas Mann, and Gore Vidal, as well as to Whittaker Chambers's autobiographical classic, Witness. CLAES G.
