From Publishers Weekly
Anthologist Elrod (My Big Fat Supernatural Wedding) taps into the urban fantasy craze with a mixed bag of wizardry, mystery and glamour. The best include Patricia Briggs's wistful Seeing Eye, wherein blind witch Wendy Moira Keller helps werewolf Tom Franklin search for his missing brother, and Jim Butcher's funny Last Call, which finds wizard Harry Dresden hot on the tail of Meditrina Bassarid, a wicked wine-loving maenad who wreaks havoc in a Chicago bar. In Rachel Caine's romantic Death Warmed Over, Holly Anne Caldwell, a resurrection witch, falls in love with Andrew Toland, a corpse from 1875, while Elrod's Hecate's Golden Eye tells of a 1937 hunt for a curious family gem. Though not particularly groundbreaking, these tales will easily keep paranormal mystery fans entertained. (July)

A fine sampling for anyone wishing to explore different authors of paranormal writings.
By myotherself
SYNOPSIS:
This anthology contains nine paranormal short stories. The following is a brief description of each story.

1. Seeing Eye by Patricia Briggs - A blind witch decides to help a man, a werewolf, find his brother who is an undercover cop and has disappeared while on a case.

2. Last Call by Jim Butcher - Harry Dresden walks into his favorite bar for a beer and a sandwich and finds chaos instead. What is wrong with the beer being brewed by the bar owner?

3. Death Warmed Over by Rachel Caine - Holly is a resurrectionist witch. The last time she brought Andrew Toland back from the dead she fell in love with him. Now the police need his special help to solve another case but how can Holly stand the pain when Andrew has to die this time?

4. Vegas Odds by Karen Chance - Accalia (Lia) trains recruits at the War Mage Corps. Imagine her surprise when she realizes it is her own students who are trying to kill her.

5. Hecate's Golden Eye by P. N. Elrod - Chicago 1937 - Charles Escott and his undead colleague Jack Fleming are hired to help the rightful owner steal back her pendant. The history of the jewel says that any man who touches the Golden Eye dies. Luckily for Jack, he's already dead.

6. Bacon by Charlaine Harris - Dahlia Lynley-Chivers is a vampire who is now a widow because her werewolf husband was defeated in a challenge fight for pack position. She hires a witch to help her find out what was done to her husband to make him vulnerable and weak during the fight.

7. Signatures of the Dead by Faith Hunter - Spruce Pine, North Carolina, is being targeted by a band of rogue vampires. Earth witch Molly Trueblood and her friend shapeshifter Jane Yellowrock must find the vampire lair or the killings will continue.

8. Ginger by Caitlin Kittredge - Sunny Swann and her cousin Luna grew up in Nocturne City. Sunny is a witch without much confidence in her powers totally unlike her werewolf cousin. Then why would someone want to kidnap Sunny?

9. Dark Sins by Jenna Maclaine - Venice 1818 - Cin, Michael, Devlin and Justine (The Righteous-judge, jury, and executioners in the world of vampires) are in the city for pleasure, not business. When they are all four kidnapped by a wizard and his coven Cin is forced to chose between the lives of her lover and friends or dark, evil magic.

RECOMMENDATION:
I definitely enjoyed reading this marvelous anthology. It gave me exactly what I want from a collection of short stories such as these. There are many stories which feature characters already made well known by these authors. Particular favorites of mine are the stories by Patricia Briggs, Jim Butcher, Rachel Caine, P. N. Elrod and Faith Hunter. I have not read novels by many of these authors and this anthology has given me a chance to sample their works and make the decision of whether or not to go seek out and read their full length books.

*****Aug. 31, 2009***** Two of my favorite characters in this anthology are Moira (the blind witch) and Tom (the werewolf) in the Patricia Briggs story "Seeing Eye". Those two characters play a substantial role in the new Briggs book Hunting Ground (Alpha & Omega, Book 2). It was wonderful to meet up with them again.

Make mine a double --- 4.5 stars out of 5
By Dana
You never quite know what you are going to get with an anthology. Strange Brew has nine stories involving witchcraft, potions, and the like that definitely doesn't disappoint. I was excited by the fact that I had heard of 7 out of the 9 authors and have read works by 5 of them. I had high hopes that, for once, weren't dashed. I liked EVERY single story in this anthology --- high marks for all the authors involved (mostly A's and perhaps one or two B/B+'s).

Briggs gives us a story of a witch, a werewolf, and the ties that bind: family & love. It may be set in the Mercy Thompson/Alpha & Omega universe, but this is the first time we've seen these characters up close. (I hope to see more of them.)

Harris also sets her story in her well-established Universe (Southern Vampire Chronicles) but using less established characters. Her story of revenge, Bacon, is made all the more delicious and satisfying if you're already familiar with the unlikely interspecies love story, Tacky, found in My Big Supernatural Wedding that precedes this one.

As far as I know, Caine's tale of love resurrected and Chance's action-packed account of espionage among the War Mage Corps are wholly original pieces. I could, of course, be wrong. Regardless, both stories were unique and hard to put down.

The rest of the authors give us stories within there respective series:
Butcher gives us a story involving Harry Dresden, tainted beer, and the Chicago Bulls. Elrod gives us a classic tale of double cross from her Jack Fleming/Vampire Files series.
Hunter's story introduces us to her new butt-kicking, vampire-slaying, heroine - Jane Yellowrock - whose very own book Skinwalker is available this month (7/09).
Kittredge gives us a story of a "glamour-ous" power play from her Nocturne City series that delivers my favorite line in the whole anthology. (I'll let you guess what it is!) And Maclaine's story left me wanting to read more of her Cin Craven series.

Whether new and original or borrowing from established settings or series, all the stories are easy to follow --- even if you are completely unfamiliar with the authors' works. Overall, this may be the best money I ever spent on an anthology. It delivers a fine sampling for anyone who is interested in reading some anecdotes in the realm of urban fantasy. Who knows, you may find some authors from whom you'd like to read more. I know I did.

Not Overly Juicy, But Satisfying
By Anna Hope
Anthologies can be a bit hit or miss. Sometimes there is one fantastic author and a cluster of up and comers who haven't hit their stride yet. Not the case here! Strange brew is packed with big writers with big stories that just happen to be short. There's not enough length to the stories for anything too steamy if that's what you require, but the individual stories will keep you too busy flipping pages to notice.

Seeing Eye by Patricia Briggs
Returning to the same world as her Mercy Thompson and Alpha & Omega series, werewolves and witches are real and dominant Tom needs a witches help to get his human brother back after he's taken by a coven. Deformed and odd white witch Moira is the only one willing and capable to help. I read this story and was so pleased to find these characters cropping back up in the newest Alpha & Omega book!

Last Call by Jim Butcher
I'm never a big reader of the Dresden files but Butchers shorts still always amuse me! Of course this one provides a good mystery when the patrons of Harry Dresden's favorite watering hole go crazy and he and love interest Murphy need to track the villain down in time. Even if Harry's tempted to take a more delightful offer...

Death Warmed Over By Rachel Caine
This was possibly the most memorable story of the book! I was bawling be for the end of it! Holly is a resurrection witch paid and bullied by the police to bring back a legendary dead man and former witch whom she's brought back previously and secretly loves. When Holly ends up in a killers twisted sight, Andrew will do anything to protect her, even die all over again for love.

Vegas Odds by Karen Chance
Diving into the worlds of her Cassie Palmer & Dorina Basarab series's we find a sleepy mage trainer under attack during a time of war and traitors. Despite injury and betrayal she'll hunt down the one responsible for her pain despite the werewolf boyfriend who loves her and just wants her to be safe. Action packed!

Hecate's Golden Eye by P.N. Elrod
I have previously not liked this authors work but this story about a gumshoe vampire in the 1930's and his private eye pal trying to get a mystical necklace back for a client was very edge of the seat stuff and visually rich.

Bacon by Charlaine Harris
Into a different area of the Southern Vampire Series world where a lady vampire is set on getting revenge for her werewolf husband who was killed by a competing pack with help from a witch known as the Circe. Kind of a modern day Grimm's fairytale, slightly disturbing but fun!

Signatures of the Dead by Faith Hunter
A creepy tale of vampires preying on the defenseless in a small town and the witch, the human, and the bounty hunter with a splash of Other who go to stop them. Don't read this one after dark! Eeeekk! Now I have to read the Jane Yellowrock series that just started, she's an intriguing character.

Ginger by Caitlin Kittredge
Enter Nocturne City, and it's own series, where police detective Luna Wilder is tying up the ends to a big case when her mild mannered cousin, Sunny Swann, saves the day and countless lives with her curiosity and witchcraft. In her world not everyone is what they seem...

Dark Sins by Jenna Maclaine
Part of the Sin Craven series, the vampire witch Sin, her friends and her lover all get nabbed by a coven of dark witches led by a vengeful man eager to force Sin to become part of his evil plotting and magic. Desperate for their freedom, Sins prayers are answered, just not in the way she expected.

Spiritual Gems of Islam: Insights & Practices from the Qur'an, Hadith, Rumi & Muslim Teaching Stories to Enlighten the Heart & Mind (Skylig

Refine your heart and mind with the wisdom of Islamic spirituality

"To live a meaningful life―one that brings us joy, contentment and fulfillment―we have to do the inner spiritual work of becoming a more complete human being."
―from the Introduction

Over the centuries, Islamic sages have gleaned timeless spiritual insights and practices from sacred texts, meditation and knowledge of the heart―gems that have been passed down from generation to generation. This book invites you―no matter what your practice may be―to access the treasure chest of Islamic spirituality, particularly Sufism, and use its wealth to strengthen your own journey.

The riches include guidance drawn from the Qur'an, sayings of the Prophet Muhammad and Sufi poets such as the thirteenth-century Rumi on cultivating awareness, intentionality and compassion for self and others. This book also features entertaining wisdom teaching stories, especially those of Mulla Nasruddin, Islam's great comic foil, to expand the mind and heart. It breaks down barriers to accessing this ancient tradition for modern seekers by dispelling myths about the Muslim faith concerning gender bias, inclusivity and appreciation for diversity.

Regardless of where you are on your spiritual journey, you will find these gems worthy additions to your own treasure chest within.

Truly a heart calling...
By ERI
I am a muslim (moslem) and I have been seeking spiritual knowledge that can answer my questions with objective answers. I read Sufism, Hinduism (among others; Bhagavad Gita and Upanishads), and Buddhism. I read science books - Physics, Cosmology, and many sources of knowledge. All are good and open my eyes and my heart to the existence of divine beings. Us, as human are divine being. All of nature are divine. I came to this conclusion and yet still amazed and awed by this special book.

This book makes me cry and smile. I exhale the warmth of love from the divine inside me, and inhale the limitless love from the same divine in every corner of the world. Because we are One with God. The wisdom that shines the world with divine light.

Imam Jamal Rahman teaches us how to identify and locate our negative ego and how to embrace it with love.
Teaches us sincerity, humility and truthfulness.

I recommend this book to all people. Not just Muslim, but to all who are seeking enlightenment and want to embark into spiritual journey.

Lovely
By semreader
A wonderful, insightful book. A must read if you are trying to get to the heart of the spirituality in Islam. The author writes poetically about the beautiful parts of the Quran, and Rumi's teachings and it is hard to put down. Definitely recommending this to all of my friends. If you don't know much about Islam, then it is definitely a must. Thank you so much for making this available online Amazon!

A Gem of a Book!
By Sally J. Gilbertdevargas
Jamal's latest book is filled with deep insights and practical spirituality. It includes a wonderful array of Rumi poetry, Mullah stories, and personal stories from the author's life, all of which illuminate the deeply universal message from the Qur'an and the life of Prophet Muhammad. My favorite metaphor applies to the book itself: "The Qur'an is like a shy bride. If you want to get to know her, approach her through her friends." Jamal is definitely an intimate friend of the Qur'an, and when he introduces you to her in this book, you will behold her in all her exquisite beauty. But the Qur'an is not treated as simply a holy book, or a collection of teachings. It is presented as a way of life, a path of inquiry and understanding which leads us deep into our own heart, and into the hearts of our fellow beings. This book is perhaps best studied in a loving community of seekers after truth, so its treasures may be unveiled slowly and carefully. It is a book not simply to be read, but to be savored and practiced.

Huxley knocks a home run out of the proverbial park!
By Herbert Booker
We love all of Aldous Huxley's books, how can they miss the target? Like Robin Hood, they split the first arrow dead center!

A profound book by a consistently profound author
By Amazon Customer
In Huxley's books, its not just the plot that captivates. Huxley's insights on society and people are so on target and so truthful, it's amazing. His ability to translate truth into words is incredible. Point Counterpoint is no exception:

"Work's no more respectable than alcohol, and it serves exactly the same purpose: it just distracts the mind, makes a man forget himself. Work's simply a drug, that's all. It's humiliating that men shouldn't be able to live without drugs, soberly; it's humiliating that they shouldn't have the courage to see the world and themselves as they really are."

"But there is in debauchery something so intrinsically dull, something so absolutely and hopelessly dismal, that it is only the rarest beings, gifted with much less than the usual amount of intelligence and much more than the usual intensity of appetite, who can go on actively enjoying a regular course of vice or continue actively to believe in its wickedness."

"But the very possession of a body is a cynical comment on the soul and all its ways. It is a piece of cynicism, however, which the soul must accept, whether it likes it or no."

If these statements strike you as surprisingly truthful, then Huxley is for you.

The theme of Point Counterpoint concerns the mind/body dichotomy, which I think is really interesting. It makes you think about yourself a little differently than you may be used to.

Point, not counterpoint
By Roger Brunyate
Aldous Huxley's 1928 novel opens with a grand London party given by Lady Edward Tantamount. Music plays. Dozens of characters cross the stage, meet briefly, argue, and part. Some go on to a restaurant that stays open past midnight; there, they meet still more characters and argue some more; several of them continue to yet another party in the early hours of the morning. We are now 100 pages into the book, a quarter of the way through. The numerous characters will continue to bump into each other over the next days and months, but the essential texture of the opening will not change.

If you Google the title, the question comes back "Did you mean Point Counterpoint?" Well, no. Counterpoint is a musical term implying line and movement: two or more voices, intertwining with one another, echoing, developing, but never standing still. Huxley certainly understands that music implies movement -- his descriptions of actual music are superb -- but his method as a novelist is essentially static: to set characters off against one another, each of whom represents a different point of view. The book is thus a series of debates, some funny, some serious, all clever. But the characters ricochet off one another like balls on a pool table; this is truly a matter of point clashing with point; there is no line, little movement, and almost no plot.

Oddly enough, Huxley has one of his characters, a writer, criticize his own method: "Novel of ideas. The character of each personage must be implied, as far as possible, in the ideas of which he is the mouthpiece. In so far as theories are rationalizations of sentiments, instincts, dispositions of soul, this is feasible. The chief defect of the novel of ideas is that you must write about people who have ideas to express -- which excludes all but about .01 per cent of the human race." And again: "The great defect of the novel of ideas is that it's a made-up affair. Necessarily; for people who can reel off neatly formulated notions aren't quite real; they're slightly monstrous. Living with monsters becomes rather tiresome in the long run." He has it right; this book IS a made-up affair, it IS tiresome, and its .01 percent of the human race consists of a handful of English aristocrats and intellectuals -- Huxley as a kind of egghead Evelyn Waugh.

Several times, I almost tossed the book away, yet kept on reading -- why? The first time was when Huxley introduces Mark Rampion, a painter and would-be novelist closely based on his friend D. H. Lawrence. Here is a character who does not come from the upper classes, whose thoughts are three-dimensional and fully worked out, and whose unconventional yet bracing morality serves as a touchstone for the other characters in the book. The chapter describing his courtship is one of the few passages where the novel of ideas becomes one of feeling, and it was riveting. Although nothing quite like that chapter comes again, I kept on because I was often amused, sometimes challenged (Huxley is an erudite author who almost demands footnotes), and increasingly aware that I was reading something that was as close to source material on the period as I was likely to find. For Huxley does not confine himself to the social and amorous goings-on typical of an early Waugh book such as A HANDFUL OF DUST. He also addresses politics (both fascism and communism are represented), religion and its substitutes, philosophy, the arts, and science. Even sex gets analyzed with an almost scientific detachment: there is a long disquisition by one of the more despicable characters on the techniques of seduction, perversion, and spiritual degradation; another embarks on what must be the first examination in literature of the phrase "sleeping around". As a reference work, this is fascinating; I just wish it were a better novel. Interesting though the numerous points are, I could have done with some genuine counterpoint.

Historical Dictionary of School Segregation and Desegregation: The American Experience (Journal for the Study of the), by Jeffrey Raffel

Throughout the nation's history, from before the Civil War through Reconstruction, across the years of lynchings and segregation to the Brown v. Board of Education decision and the battles over busing, no issue has divided the American people more than race, and at the heart of the race issue has been the conflict over school segregation and desegregation. Prior to the Civil War, South Carolina enacted the first compulsory illiteracy law, which made it a crime to teach slaves to write, and other Southern states soon followed South Carolina's example. After the Civil War, schools for blacks were founded throughout the South, including many Historically Black Colleges and Universities. The 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson Supreme Court decision established the principle of separate but equal education, which led to decades of segregation. With the 1954 Brown decision, the Supreme Court overturned the separate but equal principle, and the Civil Rights Act of 1964 empowered the federal government to affect school desegregation. The process of desegregation continues to this day, with much debate and mixed results.

Through more than 260 alphabetically arranged entries, this comprehensive reference book describes persons, court decisions, terms and concepts, legislation, reports and books, types of plans, and organizations central to the struggle for educational equality. The volume covers topics ranging from emotionally laden terms such as busing to complex legal concepts such as de facto and de jure segregation. Each entry includes factual information, a summary of different viewpoints, and a brief bibliography. The book includes an introduction, which outlines the history of school segregation and desegregation, along with a chronology and extensive bibliographic material. Thus this reference is a complete guide to school segregation and desegregation in elementary, secondary, and higher education in the United States.

From Library Journal
Intended primarily for educational historians, public policy planners, and those interested in the history of the struggle for civil rights in education, this alphabetically arranged dictionary explicates more than 270 personal names, plans, court decisions, reports, concepts, terms, organizations, legislative mandates, and state and federal agencies involved in the school segregation/desegregation conundrum. Raffel (Sch. of Urban Affairs and Public Policy, Univ. of Delaware) has been personally involved in school desegregation and has published extensively on the process in professional journals. Each well-written and logically organized entry in this unique dictionary has its own bibliography to support the nonjudgmental definitions supplied. The personal names included also have a list of sources for further research. More detailed and current than Richard Kluger's Simple Justice (LJ 3/1/76), Raffel's dictionary covers the period from 1787 through the Plessy and Brown decisions to California's 1996 Proposition 209 vote (the entry on the late George Curley Wallace, however, needs updating). Extensive cross references help lead the user to related entries. A post-Revolutionary War chronology helps outline the checkered events concerning race issues and schools, from preschools to higher education. A bibliographical essay and an extensive, nine-page bibliography add to the utility of this appropriately priced volume.?Scott R. Johnson, Whittemore Park Middle Sch., Conway, SC

From Library Journal
Using written records, paintings, figurines, and actual garments and fabrics when available, the authors have created a chronological record of Chinese dress and hair styles from ancient times to the 20th century. Dress of the upper classes, military, common people, and of both men and women are included. In addition to photographs of relevant historical artifacts, brightly colorful drawings of costumes are provided and give the book much of its visual interest. With its appealing graphics, award-winning book design, and readable text, suitable for both lay readers and students; such details as garment measurements make it useful to scholars and costume designers.

Lao's review
By Amazon Customer
An excellent, full color overview of Chinese robes from neolithic through modern times. Organized by dynasty, each chapter gives a few text pages covering basics in garment style, hairstyle and make up, and footwear for that dynasty. The full color plates are generally focused on court robes, but also include some armor, dance costumes and scholars robes. Most of the garments are rendered in a 2-dimensional layout, with either paintings or statuary from the period as primary documentation. I found the appendixes in the back to be most useful, showing the evolution of body and sleeve style through progressive dynasties. A few examples of accessories are shown. It is a good starting point for the study of the clothing of the nobility. It does not go in to much detail on the clothing of the common man until the modern era.

Best historic survey of Chinese costume available in English
By Catherine Raymond
There may be better histories of Chinese costume, and there may even be more comprehensive ones, but I know of no more through history of Chinese costume in English other than this book. It is also lucidly organized by period and features numerous illustrations, but of period artworks and color sketches of period costume designs. An absolute must for the English-speaking scholar who wishes to become conversant with the outlines of the history of Chinese costume.

This book was published in Hong Kong. It lists Chinese costumes throughout her 5000 years of history. The book not only shows artifacts, paintings and ornaments about the Chinese costumes through out ages, it also has drawings of costume.

This is a must have title in your library.

best I have ever read regarding drawing fundamentals
By AmyLTree@aol.com
I have been a professional drawing instructor for over fifteen years and have found this book to be one of the very best for assisting students in grasping the concept of form construction, rendering objects correctly in linear perspective, seeing and building values, and gaining an appreciation of the value of striving for technical skills. Having been educated in an era in which the theory was not to teach "technique" for fear it would stifle a student's creativity (and realizing that this approach was bogus), I can honestly say that Mr. Zappalorti has done his students a great service if his teaching methods are reflected in this text. My sincere congratulation and thanks for a marvelous teaching resource!

Excellent instruction of the basics.
By H. Kittleman
There are at least two approaches to drawing: "freeform" and "precision drawing". This is an excellent book that effectively explains the basics of precision drawing step by step. He tells how to use the pencil as a tool to find angles, explains perspective, eye level, horizon lines, etc and has excellent illustrations to go along with it. He has exercises for each point he teaches and has photos of each step of the exercise. It's not a fun book to "look" at - to use it, you must take your time and sit down and read the small print slowly. But once you do, you find that this is an excellent book.

A Step-By-Step Approach Demonstrating How to Draw What You See
By Robert
I want to add my own kudos to this book. To my knowledge this is Robert Zappalorti's only book. That's a shame because this one is a great instructional resource. As a "budding" artist living in the boondocks it's hard for me to find classes to help me with my drawing. I have found that most "beginner" books on drawing available do not teach technique, "Drawing Sharp Focus Still Lifes" does! It's VERY easy to read, but read it you must... every word or you'll risk missing one of the MANY great tips that are given. I haven't found a better presentation of basics such as finding angles, horizon lines, eye level, linear perspective, form construction and proportion. The subtitle "A Step-By-Step Approach Demonstrating How to Draw What You See" says it all. I highly recommend this book. It's sad that such a great instructional book is now out of print. I was lucky enough to find a like-new copy at an Amazon Partner.
