Book Description
Jesusa is a tough, fiery character based on a real working-class Mexican woman whose life spanned some of the seminal events of early twentieth-century Mexican history. Having joined a cavalry unit during the Mexican Revolution, she finds herself at the Revolution's end in Mexico City, far from her native Oaxaca, abandoned by her husband and working menial jobs. So begins Jesusa's long history of encounters with the police and struggles against authority. Mystical yet practical, undaunted by hardship, Jesusa faces the obstacles in her path with gritty determination.
Here in its first English translation, Elena Poniatowska's rich, sensitive, and compelling blend of documentary and fiction provides a unique perspective on history and the place of women in twentieth-century Mexico.

Realistic and poignant, though narrative is a bit lacking.......2004-08-15
First published in Spanish in 1969, Here's to You, Jesusa! is the fictional autobiography of a poor Mexican woman. This Latin American classic has recently been translated into English.
Jesusa's life is fraught with hardship and grievous injustice. Mistreated by her stepmother and abandoned by her father, fourteen-year-old Jesusa is forced to marry an abusive army officer who, out of jealousy, takes her with him to war. When he is killed a few years later, a corrupt government denies her the small compensation of the widow's pension it owes her. Still very young and left alone with neither income nor skills, Jesusa nearly starves.
Experience teaches her toughness, and her personality is as fraught with contradictions as the political milieu of the Mexican Revolution in which she fought. She is a loner who lets friends exploit her. Outwardly she is cold, yet she raises a motherless child whom no one wants. Despite her insistence that the child means nothing to her, her pain at his desertion is obvious. When he returns years later, she takes him in, knowing he intends to steal from her. His greedy quest amuses her, for she has nothing for him to steal.
Ms. Poniatowska spent several years getting to know the woman she based her character on, and it shows. However, first person narration by an inarticulate protagonist weakens the story, making it a tedious and sometimes obscure read. It might also be that something is lost in translation.
Here's to You, Jesusa! provides rare insight into what it was like to be poor and female in early twentieth-century Mexico. Jesusa is too complex to be fictional and her story too poignant not to engage even the most dispassionate reader.
An excellent book.......2002-06-24
Here's to You Jesusa is an excellent book with a story of bravery, history, despair, adventure, survival - everything except love and that is what made it such a sad story. The
author did an excellent job of creating a real person with very human faults and weaknesses, but also incredible strengh. It
was a story and a character that I kept thinking of long after I had finished reading the book. I highly recommend it.
Enter the world of Mexico.......2002-01-22
Jesusa is a soldadera, a woman soldier, in the Mexican Revolution of 1910-1917. She describes her experiences in life
from childhood to old age-- the choices she made and the problems she had-- the effects of chance and fate.
She is the wild woman who drinks in bars, the suffering laborer and servant. She is a spiritualist right under the nose of the Virgin. She occupies a Mexico few tourists have ever seen, a terrain of wonder and terror and the shocks and blows of the unexpected events that make up her life.

It is not an easy novel to read because uses typical mexican words, and slang but you will enter to a world most of us are not too aware of it.

One of her Best..........2006-08-30
I am a Brenda Novak fan and this is one of her best. Often the endings of books are not the way I'd like to see them. This one ended just perfectly and left me feeling warm and fuzzy.
Deceiving.......2003-08-29
I am a big Brenda Novak fan, but I have to say, Ihave been really deceived by this book. It took me 3 weeks to finish it.
Both The H and h were extremely immature in my opinion, always referring to past mistaked that had happened in their teens. I wished they would have grown more mature. It was like watching 2 tennagers fighting, (althought they are both in their 30's.
I also disliked Rebbeca's father very much by the way he always put his dauthter down, even at the end. I wished someone would have give him some humility but alas, it never happened.
a great book.......2003-06-22

Not Good.......2007-08-31
I love true crime stories. But, this was not one of them. If you love Ann Rule books, as I do, skip this author. Too much "legal(eze)" & not enough story. I am not interested in the law being explained to me. More interested in the STORY not the legal aspect of it. No background interviews, as Ann does. Just the facts. Boring. Skipped over most of it. Don't waste your money.

Rare personal journal notes of a pioneer woman's life in the Ohio wilderness 1830.......2007-10-01
I came across "Liwwat Boke" while sorting through books from my mother's estate. And what a rare discovery it was. For those of us who are teachers of American History or Women's Studies, or who might have just a vague notion of the challenges of the German immigration into the Ohio Valley in the first half of the 1800's and want to know more, "Liwwat Boke 1807-1882 Pioneer" is a book you shouldn't pass up.
This compilation of notes, letters, and drawings of a young pioneer woman's life as a settler, wife, midwife, and community liaison is an true revelation. Even though a peasant, Liwwat was very conscious of the imporatance of history and documented with writings and drawings her daily life experience on the ship over from Germany in 1835 (to follow her childhood lover), her overland wagon ride to Ohio, and her journey north from Cincinnati on the trails through the forests to the settlement in Marion Township Mercer County.
Once there she provides details and reflections on building a homestead with her husband, family deaths, weddings, social commentary on the isolation, loneliness, depression, Catholic parish and religious issues, witchcraft, and superstitions,and even the 'woman's role' in life in the wilderness.
One of Liwwat's most interesting commentaries was a letter to the Bishop of Cincinnati on behalf of the women of St. John parish decrying the parish priest's repressed and unreasonable dictates on marriage, sex, and love in the wilderness. And what an earful he got!
This book is a valuable and unique resource for anyone interested in first person accounts of various aspects of a german settler's life in the Ohio wilderness: an 1820's career woman's training and experience (Liwwat was a certified mid-wife), love and marriage and family life in the wilderness, early german american culture and the germans' relationships with the 'yanks', a woman's perspective on pioneering and leaving the old country/emmigration (copious detailed planning was involved in emmigration to America), to name just a few topics.
Luke B. Knapke, the editor, Vincent Boke, Liwwat's descendant, and the Minster Historical Society are to be thanked for compiling the essays, drawings, and letters, and for taking on the translations and publication of the original documents from the low-German. This book is a gem and if you can get your hands on a copy I recommend it highly!

Book Description
There is a divine spark within us all.
In one man, that spark is about to explode.
American businessman Steve Keeley is hurtled three stories to the cold cobblestone street in Zurich. In the days that follow, a doctor performs miraculous surgery on Keeley, who wakes up to find that everything about his world has changed. He seems to sense things before they happen, and he thinks he’s capable of feats that are clearly impossible. It’s a strange and compelling new world for him, one he quickly realizes is also incredibly dangerous.
Meanwhile at a $12 billion facility in hardscrabble North Texas, a super collider lies two hundred feet beneath the Earth’s surface. Leading a team of scientists, Mike McNair, a brilliant physicist, works to uncover one of the universe’s greatest secrets–a theoretical particle that binds the universe together, often called The God Particle. When his efforts are undermined by the man who has poured his own vast fortune into the project, McNair begins to suspect that something in his research has gone very, very wrong.
Now, these two men are about to come together, battling mysteries of science and of the soul–and venturing to a realm beyond reason, beyond faith, perhaps even beyond life and death.

Entertainment that will make you think........2007-06-13
The God Particle is an interesting read, to say the least. Mr. Cox manages to combine science, theology, and even a bit of romance in this novel of suspense and intrigue. Personally, I would have liked to have seen a bit more character development for a couple of the characters, but overall it was a solid effort. I will certainly look forward to future works by Mr. Cox.
No Content.......2007-03-19
This SF novel starts out with an interesting pair of plot lines: A man falls from a window and yet is somehow alive. A scientist in Texas is looking for Higgs particles.
Then the novel gets bogged down in naïve theological dialog and (I'm being nitpicky here) biblical errors.
However, the sex scenes and disrespect of marriage were the last straw. I put this down after reading two-thirds. It showed no promise at all.
Entertaining Possibilities.......2006-11-19
Richard Cox has written an exciting work of fiction melding the diverse perspectives of his characters, quantum physics, religion, romance, and conspiracy theory into an accelerating read.
The science is woven into the book in a way that appeals to both science minded non-fiction readers and those who enjoy the fantasy of fiction.
His characters are human, rich, and vivid allowing empathy for even the ones I loved to hate. I enjoyed the conversations of science and religion and found them to be as engaging as the plot itself. The last half of the book really speeds up, keeping the reader pushing towards the end to reveal the answers.
The God Particle is a book about seeking answers. If you spend time pondering the deep questions, I recommend giving the God Particle a read. Also pick up Rift by Richard Cox. You'll dig it.
Literary Bait and Switch.......2005-12-30
I bought this novel in part due to the description on the back cover and in part because it came recommended by a shelf tag from a store employee touting this novel as a "high concept" bit of science fiction that blends spiritual themes with emerging ideas in physics.
For me, this novel failed to deliver what was promised. I'm a big fan of books about the metaphysics of quantum mechanics. Among my favorites is Gary Zukav's "The Dancing Wu Li Masters" which gave a great intro to quantum physics and tied it in very well with metaphysical and even spiritual implications.
While "The God Particle" has Mike McNair and Dallas news anchor Kelly Smith engaged in an airplane coversation about the relative territories of science, reason, and faith, these are never explored much beyond seeming contention between science and spirituality. There's no common ground explored aside from each being ways of seeing the universe.
In fact, in 300 pages of novel, I'd estimate that barely 30 pages of the entire book are spent exploring the implications of discovering the Higgs boson or of the experiment performed on Steve Keely in which he seems at first to be able to sense the Higgs field. Most of the story was spent on the sexual liasons and betrayals of various characters. This book was more a poorly-constructed tale of lust than an exploration of how the Higgs boson might be a key link between the worlds of human consciousness and the fundamental construction of reality.
If Cox had spent as much energy dealing with the implications of the science as he did voyeurism, sexual betrayal, and failed relationships, this might have been a read worthy of being called science fiction. As it was, the science felt like draping around a Harlequin paperback, much as you would find the trappings of pirates or colonial America.
When the narrative finally turned the bulk of its attention to the subject at hand near the end of the novel, the connection between the experimental brain surgery performed on Steve Keely and the superconducting super collider in Texas felt rushed and poorly explained, as if the author realized he had to drag the tale out of the bedroom and back into the science to wrap up a loose end or two.
Fiction or Future Possibility?.......2005-08-21
The God Particle has all of the trappings of a very interesting story. It has intrigue, mystery, action, romance and, of course, science. As one who has an interest in Physics, I found the scientific content of the story fascinating as the author adeptly presented some fairly involved theories through conversation and introspection. While the story is a work of fiction, I believe the more important work contained on the pages within are of the possibilities that still exist in the universe, many of which we can yet only dream. It was both entertaining and enlightening.

In Dean Sluyter's clever The Zen Commandments, the author lays down 10 guidelines for living a more present life and experiencing moment-to-moment awareness. Some of his "commandments" are Zen interpretations of the 10 laws Moses brought down from Mount Sinai; others have nothing to do with the prophet's inscribed tablets. In one example, Sluyter takes the Fourth Commandment--Remember the Sabbath day, and keep it holy--and gives it a Zen twist:
The whole idea of Sabbath is a temporary withdrawal from limited worldly activities in order to connect to the limitlessness that some people call God. Here ... we're learning to be in a state of utter rest seven days a week, 60 seconds a minute, transcending and silently witnessing all physical and mental activities, even while performing them."
Through the moment-to-moment awareness that Zen demands, we constantly stay in touch with God, or the Infinite (or whatever individuals choose to call it), Sluyter reminds us. Other Zen commandments are more contemporary and have nothing to do with biblical precepts. Perhaps one of his most useful guidelines is his enjoinder to "Notice the Moment":
On our journey through life, we think of the time we spent walking down the hall from Office A to Office B as intermission, dead time, mere connective tissue. But there is no intermission. The show never stops. Every moment is the only moment.
Sluyter sprinkles his chapters with eclectic quotes from Bob Dylan, Indian gurus, Miles Davis, Franz Kafka, even Bill Clinton. This is a lively book and one that will almost certainly give you pause in your day, whether it's to simply stop and take a breath while rushing through your morning routine, or to notice the roadside flowers while stalled in rush-hour traffic. --Demian McLean
Customer Reviews:
what about the actual precepts?.......2007-08-21
This book, though probably not actually harmful, is something of a rip off. I'm tired of books that are not about Zen - and have very little at all to do with Zen - using "Zen" in the title; and if this book had anything to do with Zen, or if the author knew anything about it, the author would KNOW that Zen already has it's version of the "commandments." And that would be the Sixteen Bodhisattva Precepts, which include the Ten Grave Precepts. The precepts are a foundation of all Mahayana Buddhist practice. They are rigorous, difficult, and valuable; and it is a shame that someone would write a book whose title suggests that it will give you the Zen equivalent of the commandments, and then simply make things up, rather than addressing the wonderful guidelines for practice that the great teachers in our tradition have already laid down for us. This book should be called "Dean Sluyter's Ten Suggestions" - a much more accurate title - and if you want a book about ZEN ethics, read Reb Anderson's "Being Upright" (the best I've read on the subject), or Robert Aitken's "Mind of Clover".
Notice The Moment.......2007-04-10
Dean Sluyter writes, "On our journey through life, we think of, say, stopping for gas or going to the bathroom as time out from the main event, from our "real" activities. We think of the time we spend walking down the corridor from Office A to Office B as intermission, dead time, mere connective tissue. But there is no intermission. The show never stops.Every moment is the only moment." Living mindfully each moment is one of the Zen commandments that Sluyter artfully teaches in this wonderful book that you will likely read more than once.
The nine other commandments express Zen essence in an earthy way. This does not have the feel of religion, dogmatism, or preaching. It's more like a friend telling you what he learned in his travels that just might change your way of experiencing the world. The author has taught meditation for over thirty years. I feel certain that he is an excellent teacher. Quoting diverse sources such as Miles Davis, Thoreau, Bill Clinton, and Euripides, Sluyter keeps us on our toes with the wisdom coming from North, West, East, and South. This has taken its place as one of my favorite books.
Wisdom and Enlightenment in a Simple Package.......2006-10-14
No, you don't need to give up the religion you grew up with to embrace the thoughts and perspectives this excellent book contains. The author teaches the lessons in an accessible way and leads you on a path to inner freedom and contentment. Its a quick read but you may find yourself reading again and again.
Fresh New Look at Zen.......2003-09-09
This book will open your eyes to a wonderful new way to approach Zen and how you can actually apply it to everyday life even if you are down in the trenches just putting one foot in front of the other. I loved reading it, laughed frequently and was sorry when I finished.
thank you, mr. sluyter...........2003-07-30
this is a sweet and thoughtful book...
skillfully and beautifully written...
it certainly gets to the heart of the matter...
just the reading of it provides peace...
thank you, mr. sluyter...
