Kim Cooper

Continuum, 2005

Fairly good read
I read this books with high hopes and expectations and was not let down in anyway. It does a great job of showing the band for what it really was. It also portrayed jeff magnum in a way that I could relate to completely. overall I would recommend it to anyone ...

How to Win Every Argument: The Use and Abuse of Logic

Madsen Pirie

Continuum, 2007

Logical Toolbox
This book is more than just an exceptionally wonderful collection of logical fallacies. I enjoyed the fresh examples, and I must confess that a few of them have found their way into my lectures. While our school library has this book in its collection because it ...

Continuum: Music by John Mayer (Guitar/Vocal)

John Mayer

CHERRY LANE MUSIC COMP, 2007

Opened my eyes
Before this book, I'd been struggling with incorrect tabs for John's songs all over the internet. Once I purchased this book I was pleasantly surprised by how accurate and detailed each song is within the book. If you are up for learning John's songs and style, this ...

Critical Solutions for Five Billion Poor Including US Poor
Over a year ago 24 of us decided to co-found the Earth Intelligence Network and begin producing public intelligence in the public interest. We quickly expanded the vision to include a Transpartisan Policy Institute and a Public Budget Office. Today, for free, any ...

The Continuum Concept: In Search Of Happiness Lost (Classics in Human Development)

Jean Liedloff

Da Capo Press, 1986

My parenting bible
This book has been my parenting bible. I started applying its principles when my children were infants and toddlers. They are now 10, 13 and 15 and are happy, confident, competent, pleasant, cooperative, loving, in a way that I'd never seen in other families. I credit ...

The Politics of Aesthetics

Jacques Ranciere

Continuum, 2006

The Injunction of Aesthetics and Politics
Jacques Ranciere in The Politics of Aesthetics implicates aesthetics and politics as part of the same paradigm in a series of short essays and an interview. Ranciere poses three "regimes" in art: the 1) political/ethical, 2) poiesis/mimesis and 3) aesthetic. Using ...

Quest for the Living God: Mapping Frontiers in the Theology of God

Elizabeth A. Johnson

Continuum, 2007

Quest for the Living God
Quest for the Living God is the kind of excellent, inspiring, illuminating writing we have come to expect from Elizabeth Johnson! A wonderful book that merits a slow, reflective read and, ideally, discussion with others.

Open Mind Open Heart: The Contemplative Dimension of the Gospel

Thomas Keating

Continuum, 2006

good intro to centering prayer and the works of Abbot Keating
I was introduced to centering prayer by a visit to a centering prayer support group. A parishioner told me the fundamentals of this method of prayer, a distillation of the contemplative prayer tradition, which dates from third or fourth century Egyptian monasticism, ...

Two Planks and a Passion: The Dramatic History of Skiing

Roland Huntford

Continuum, 2008

More than just a casual history of the ski
I got this for my uncle for Christmas and was halfway through reading it myself by the time we had to head back home. So now I guess I have to get a copy of my own... If, like me, you are a fan of serious history and the meticulous research that goes into it, then ...

Art & Fear: Observations On the Perils (and Rewards) of Artmaking

David Bayles, Ted Orland

Image Continuum Press, 2001

Labor of love, love of labor
This book addresses flawed, fallible human readers, the ones who hopes to perfect craft despite their many and obvious imperfections. There is a lot to overcome: the inevitable gap between the vision and the actual result, the limits of materials and the difficulty of ...

Reign in Blood (33 1/3)

D. X. Ferris

Continuum, 2008

Great Album, Great Book
D.X. Ferris' entry into the 33 1/3 series covering Slayer's seminal "Reign In Blood" is in my opinion one of the best to date. Like most of the other 33 1/3 series books, Ferris gives a concise overview of the players, times and circumstances that resulted in the ...

Psalms for Praying: An Invitation to Wholeness

Nan C. Merrill

Continuum, 2006

Spiritually uplifting
This rather loose translation of the psalms makes for a beautiful expression if you are looking for something moving, musical and prayerful. Give it a try if the Psalms are part of your spirituality and also if you don't mind venturing from the usual translations ...

Creative Writing Mfa Handbook: A Guide for Prospective Graduate Students (Revised & Updated)

Tom Kealey

Continuum, 2008

It's all about the funding and the time to write
Everyone considering an advanced degree in creative writing should read this book. The evaluations of individual programs aren't all that important -- what's more important is the way Kealey lays out the whole MFA process: what to look for in schools, what the ...

David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest: A Reader's Guide (Continuum Contemporaries)

Stephen Burn

Continuum International Publishing Group, 2003

Brilliant, humble analysis
I've been a fan of IJ since reading it in the summer of '96, but I've never read such a lucid and thoughtful analysis as this book provides. Burns has put enormous effort into analyzing Wallace's writing style, and avoids the simple analysis that Wallace is ...

Becoming Jane Austen

Jon Spence

Continuum, 2007

Very good source.
I bought this book because I'm preparing to teach a Jane Austen class. Spence makes some interesting points and does a good job of backing them up. I don't think we can take everything as fact, but he does support his arguments very well. Unfortunately, there is so ...
