unfortunately, this is JUST the top of the iceberg..
I.T.A.L.I.A. = In This Area Law Is Absent I'm italian.. I can tell you that we are full of laws, but they are meaningless, because against certain strong powers there is no defence in Italy.. in our parliament there are members that have committed crimes and that ...

Shoemaker & Hoard, 2006

Absorbing history of the city and its development

Fascinating profile of China today

Berkley Trade, 2000

Excellent!
Years of loss, rejection, abandonment?....this book is for you! Easy to read and understand - allows for healing and understanding. Some of the exercises are good, but did not do all of them - combined this book with Eckhart Tolle, "power of now". All is well, NOW!

Beyond the Sky and the Earth: A Journey into Bhutan

Jamie Zeppa

Riverhead Trade, 2000

A must read journey about beauty in a remote area in the world!
I chose this book, as I had no knowledge of this country. My interest of international studies evolves around Tibet, India and Nepal. Until Jamie Zeppa wrote about her journey into Bhutan, I felt a piece of that region was excluded from my area of interest. I was ...

Breaking Open the Head: A Psychedelic Journey into the Heart of Contemporary Shamanism

Daniel Pinchbeck

Broadway, 2003

Refreshingly Unique and Intelligent!
I really enjoyed Pinchbecks unique, descriptive and intelligent style here. After reading, it makes me wonder why as a society we have departed so far from the root of natrue. It seems to me that part of the path back to wholeness could possibly be by going back ...
