arried for 20 years to the Reverend Benjamin Lynch, a handsome, ambitious minister of the prestigious Methodist church, Dean Lynch has never quite adjusted her temperament to the demands of the role of a Sunday wife.

No Bells On Sunday: The Journals of Rachel Roberts (A Fatal Passion of Unrequited Love)
Rachel Roberts Manufacturer: Pavilion ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: B000R49HS0 |
Product Description
The story this book tells is a true and extraordinary one. Few accounts of a life so crowded, turbulent and ultimately tragic have achieved such power and pathos. The form it takes makes it rarer still. For it is related by the woman whom it is about, right up to the day before her death - and by a host of friends and associates who knew her best. Racel Roberts began putting her own story down on paper in the eighteen months before she took her own life in 1980. Much of her suicidal energy shaped her description of the multitudinous events which leave one amazed that a single individual could have seen, done, enjoyed and suffered them all. Above all, it is a human story, with a compulsiveness that comes from its unrevised account of the self-destructive force of uncontrolled talent and unrequited love. Rachel Roberts, fourth wife of actor Rex Harrison, remained obsessed with Harrison after their divorce. Egocentric and ambitious, the award-winning actress became an alcoholic, then committed suicide in 1980. PW described this book as "an expertly edited, emotionally overwhelming montage of disintegration," capturing "her bawdy behavior and flaunted sexuality, as well as her endearing humanity."

The Rosetta Stone and the Rebirth of Ancient Egypt (Wonders of the World)
John Ray Manufacturer: Harvard University Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 0674024931 |
Book Description
The Rosetta Stone is one of the world's great wonders, attracting awed pilgrims by the tens of thousands each year. This book tells the Stone's story, from its discovery by Napoleon's expedition to Egypt to its current--and controversial-- status as the single most visited object on display in the British Museum.
A pharaoh's forgotten decree, cut in granite in three scripts--Egyptian hieroglyphs, Egyptian demotic, and ancient Greek--the Rosetta Stone promised to unlock the door to the language of ancient Egypt and its 3,000 years of civilization, if only it could be deciphered. Capturing the drama of the race to decode this key to the ancient past, John Ray traces the paths pursued by the British polymath Thomas Young and Jean-Francois Champollion, the "father of Egyptology" ultimately credited with deciphering Egyptian hieroglyphs. He shows how Champollion "broke the code" and explains more generally how such deciphering is done, as well as its critical role in the history of Egyptology. Concluding with a chapter on the political and cultural controversy surrounding the Stone, the book also includes an appendix with a full translation of the Stone's text.
Rich in anecdote and curious lore, The Rosetta Stone and the Rebirth of Ancient Egypt is a brilliant and frequently amusing guide to one of history's great mysteries and marvels.

Rebirth of Wonder: Poems of the Common Life (Mary Burritt Christiansen Poetry Series)
David M. Johnson Manufacturer: University of New Mexico Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0826339751 |
Book Description
Rebirth of Wonder chronicles in prose David Johnson's migrations and adventures of discovery from Minnesota to New Mexico, Mexico, Spain, and Greece. His odysseys have taken this young son of a Norwegian-Lutheran minister to the life of a poet-teacher, making his way in the world as a father, husband, grandfather, and man of tolerance and conscience of the twentieth century."Memoir and poetry fuse in these delightful family history and travel sagas, revealing the poet's intense experiences on a road well traveled."--Rudolfo Anaya, author of Jemez Spring (UNM Press)
"David Johnson was my first teacher of poetry. He inspired, and gave permission to explore the territory of the soul. This collection of poems reveals the immense spirit of the poet, and these poems will in turn, inspire and give permission. . . . These poems are deft, tender, and powerful; are lights in a time of wounding. I continue to learn."--Joy Harjo, poet, musician, professor
"What a beautiful book! David Johnson celebrates the mysterious powers that drive us to seek wholeness in family life, ancestral memory, in the putting down of roots only to uproot . . . craft and contemplation come together here and the winners are readers hungry for a fuller, more beautiful life."--Demetria Martinez
From Rebirth of Wonder
Patriarch in the Midwest
Where grandfather dipped his pen I burn incense. His inkwell
a bronze pagoda laced with oriental trees and fern.
Winged serpents crawl along the tray, a butterfly etched in the roof
waits to rise with the smoke of sandalwood.
Grandfather was a dragon from the north whose nature rejected
the mystical East, the solitary path to Nirvana.
Jehovah wasn't a breath from within, but a force like a winter storm.
Sin could destroy the household or locusts reap the harvest.
Did Scandinavians travel too far inland losing sight of the sea?
All that snow filling the hollows in a man's mind.
Grandfather talked to God in English and Norwegian, like engaging
the captain of a ship. His sermons charted the open spaces,
As if words could finally cut clear between good and evil.
From his pulpit in Minnesota Grandfather could see the ocean.
"Memoir and poetry fuse in these delightful family history and travel sagas, revealing the poet's intense experiences on a road well traveled."--Rudolfo Anaya

The Book of (Rei)ki.......2001-04-14
Reiki is an age-old healing technique "rediscovered' in the 19th c. by a Japanese scholar.
Anyway, Dr. Fromm, nice book, with great wry commentary and humor throughout on the stages of healing, plus a moving ending. But as an academic, you could tip your hat toward the sources of the medicine your doctor used, and give the reader some context for the ancient and modern-day practices of Ki healing, some of which are known today as Reiki. //Thanks for exercising my brain. :)
The Book of Ki.......2001-02-28
By combining the exercise and treatment section with the very well written and fascinating narrative description of his personal experiences with Mrs. Matsuura (the Japanese healer who inspired the author to learn these techniques) Mallory Fromm has produced a book that is informative, interesting and easy to read.
If you are interested in or open to the broad possibilities of Ki (or Chi) then you should read this book (incidentally this is type of Ki healing is NOT, nor is it based on, Reiki).
Also having personally benefited from the Ki workshops and treatments offered by Mallory and Therese Baxter at the SIKE institute amd Esalen, I would recommend them to anyone with an interest or need for this type of non-manipulative and non-invasive healing.
very good book.......2001-01-31
