History: Fiction or Science? (Chronology, No. 1)

Book Description

Recorded history is a finely-woven magic fabric of intricate lies about events predating the sixteenth century. There is not a single piece of evidence that can be reliably and independently traced back earlier than the eleventh century. This book details events that are substantiated by hard facts and logic, and validated by new astronomical research and statistical analysis of ancient sources.

Calculations are only as good as your numbers.......2007-08-03

Yes, we can all agree that mainstream history is nearly 100% BS due to politics, economics, ego, problems with dating techniques, and various conspiracies. Agreed. But, I've been researching the distinct possibility that human history (in terms of civilizations) are much more ancient than we've been told, so coming across this book was very interesting to me. I wondered how Fomenko could be wrong (if at all) because he is very persuasive in his presentations. Then it dawned on me. If at previous times in prehistory, due to the various catastrophies that are well documented (comets, asteroids, planetary disruptions, plasma discharge, pole reversals, etc) the Earth was in a different position in relation to the sun, different tilt on its axis, different orbit, different rotation (in terms of velocity and DIRECTION), and the continents were in different positions, then would this not cause the ancients to see the sky (constellations) differently? In other words, is Fomenko making erronious assumptions about the physics of the Earth in pre-history, which then corrupt his data with regards to dating the relevant astrology? The last event to seriously disrupt our planet occured roughly 3500 years ago, according to other good researchers, so is it possible Fomenko has been confused by this? The vastly different physics of our planet in the not so distant past may explain this confusion, which is not to say the "mainstream" version of history is correct; on the contrary. I am not an expert in these fields, but wanted to see if this idea could spark discussion.

Pants on fire?.......2007-07-19

Will people ever read before spamming? Yes, Jesuits could not rewrite world history alone, they had help. Anyway, Dr Prof Acad A.Fomenko does not point to jesuits as the driving force of world wide history manipulation in published volumes 1,2,3;, actually he barely mentions the poor devils. Check it with 'Search inside' feature, please. China is rarely mentioned either, in fact, Dr Fomenko is completely eurocentric. Right, his theory contradicts all mainstream schools of history, because in their actual state they are all built on blatantly erroneus chronology. You don't need a mysterious cabal (conspiracy) to falsify history, the falsification is its modus operandi. It is inherent to history(ians) to falsify (distort) events, as it is inherent to humans to boast as it is inherent to power (authority) to legimize itself by referrring to glorious past made to its own order. Dr Prof Fomenko and team have identified scores of instances of such manipulation in Russian, European, etc.. history, and delivered valid statistical proof thereof. His own 'reconstruction' is completely another story. Forget c14 as a valid method of dating. W.Libby has initially discovered a brilliant method of INDEPENDENT dating. Too bad, c14 method has become a joke after a forced marrige with dendrochronology with consensual chronological scale inbuilt. Radiocarbon method can't stand blind tests, but is so very productive as a rubberstamp.

Accepted History & Chronology Must Be Changed. .......2007-04-09

There is no doubt that history as most know it is a sham, & institution's version of History both University & Church is fradulent & inaccurate. Everything was established with an agenda, The real "Dark Ages" are now when we have access to incredible amounts of information past authorities & more important 'common folk' didn't have but our institutions & educators are slow to evolve because of what has ignorantly & arrogantly been taught for too long. This is on many subjects not just Chronology.

For anyone to question "Why would a Mathematician have anything credible to say of History?" The answer is from Dr. Fomenko's preface in the book: "It would be worthwhile to remind the reader that in the XVI-XVII century Chronology was considered to be a subdivision of Mathematics." These volumes could possibly be some of the most important works to date & should be read by everyone with an interest in History, especially professors & educators who have a duty to the public. I have read both books & must say that 'Chronology 1' has some very eye opening & revolutionary information. Even if these volumes are part true the implications are profound & opens the doors to further investigations & questions which must be done. I speak several different lanquages & must say the logic Dr. Fomenko uses with "inflection" of words & words being read from left to right in one region & right to left in another then written backwards, the removal of vowels & get down to basics of words, or different cities & locations having the same name etc. is correct. Vowel usage has always been optional & varied, actually complicating linquistics & study. The first thing one has to understand is that words never had a fixed spelling in history like we do now, the spelling of words was mutable & regional, as well as names & titles of people were vast, varied & changed, NOTHING WAS FIXED or understood linear. Matters of Life & Death as well as financial profiteering yesterday & today were & are made with ignorant, illogical & conspiratorial views of history & reality, it's time people get closer to the Truth & society collectively grow up.

Very Interesting.......2007-03-07

It is a good proposal and I believe it will mature into something even better in the future. I think it deserves to be read.

History as Science Fiction.......2007-01-10

Anatoly Fomenko has written a very intriguing book, full of pictures, charts, and computer 'proof' of his thesis: backwards of AD900 we don't really know what happened or when. Between AD900 and AD1600 there is more certainty, but there is still a lot of fuzzy ground, and things don't get reliable until we get past the 1600's where the printing press made it very difficult for the perpetrators of this timeline manipulation to change anything that had been committed to print. The Dark Ages did not happen. Books were burned for a reason. One organization has doubled the actual length of its existence by expanding the real chronology. Read why.

I had always wondered why Christ died about AD33 and yet men waited until the 11th century to form the Knights Templar, the Cathars, etc and go after the Holy Land by force. Why the 1000 year gap? Turns out there wasn't more than a 10-12 year gap and he proves it using astronomy. This also implies that the planet is not as old as we have been told, and current Christian and other creationist scientists are already championing that idea without being aware of Fomenko's book. The two groups, creationist scientists and the Russian mathematical analysts corroborate each other. Fascinating.

Of course, all this flies in the face of what we have been told traditionally is the 'proper' chronology of western civilization, and most readers will experience 'cognitive dissonance' in reading this book. It means that our history going backwards from AD1600 becomes progressively more incorrect and unreliable until it cannot be trusted at all... in the space of 700-800 years.

Naturally, the curious, open-minded reader will want to know WHO did this, WHY, and did any of the events we think of as really ancient ever happen?
Dr. Fomenko is a respected scientist/mathematician at Moscow State University who has already answered these questions to the satisfaction of his initially skeptical colleagues. Most of them are now believers, a few still refuse to believe (the usual diehards), and of course the western press has ignored Fomenko's work -- for obvious reasons when you read the book. The ones who perpetrated this chronology ruse have a lot to answer for. They are still with us. That's why this book is a well-kept secret.

I gave the book a 4-star rating because I was unable to check out some of his claims; those I checked were as he said. But if even 1/3 of his claims are true, this punches a big hole in what we think is our history, the meaning of western civilization, our educational process (for repeating the ruse as gospel), and the trustworthiness of the organization that perpetrated this ruse, well-intentioned or not.

This book relates to current research into a Young Earth paradigm, to John Keel's discoveries about our planet, and Fr Malachi Martin's insights (in his now out-of-print books). We are indeed sheep who are manipulated and kept ignorant -- for a reason. While knowing what these men have to say may be the "booby prize" (as in: 'what can you do with this knowledge?'), it will provide interesting reading. Didn't someone say: "...and the Truth will set you free."?? For you to judge if this book contains the truth.

Toxic People: 10 Ways of Dealing With People Who Make Your Life Miserable.......2006-11-04

No different than any self help book written from the 80's. Human flaws and quirks are just a part of life, and shouldn't be viewed as a constant drama. I interpreted the book as one that perpetuates whining and viewing one's self as a victim. Let me save readers their money: There are no victims, only volunteers. People will treat you the way you let them treat you. If you don't like something, say so and remove yourself from the situation, and if it makes someone mad, they'll just have to get glad at their own pace. Take care of yourself, and everything around you will fall into place.

I gave it a 2 because there were no misspelled words.

Not worth the money.......2006-07-01

The author gives examples that are to specific and, thus, not applicable to the general population. Also, the examples are formulated as little stories.....boring.....better to have step by step procedures. I was looking for something to help me in a work related situation and the book was totaly unhelpful.

UN-ENLIGHTNING READ.......2005-12-30

THIS BOOK READ LIKE A CHILD HAD WRITTEN IT. IT WAS OVERLY SIMPLISTIC AND SOUNDED SO CHILDISH IN ITS SOLUTIONS, I'M WONDERING IF THE AUTHOR IS A PRETEEN.

ON THE OTHER HAND, THE BOOK "IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING" OFFERED REVELATIONS IN IDENTIFYING AGRESSIVE PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE WHO MANIPULATE YOU IN A GREAT VARIETY OF WAYS.

IF YOU ARE LOOKING TO IDENTIFY AND EFFECTIVELY DEAL WITH A MANIPULATOR IN YOUR LIFE, READ "IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING".

A comical book, actually!.......2005-01-17

As I was reading this book I came across some comical information. I thought I was just not understanding so I discussed it with my husband. He also agreed that some things written in this book were somewhat odd.

It did not help me at all. The toxic people discribed were elementary. I put the book down and have never picked it up again.

From its opening pages, Anita Shreve's Sea Glass surrounds the reader in the surprisingly rich feeling of the New Hampshire coast in winter. Vividly evoking the life of the coastal community at the beginning of the Great Depression, Sea Glass shifts through the multiple points of view of six principal characters; it's a skillfully created story of braided lives that bounces easily (even inevitably) from character to character. We learn how these lives come together following the stock market crash of 1929 and about the struggles of mill workers on the starkly beautiful New Hampshire coast during the following year. At the novel's center is the story of Honora Beecher, a young newlywed who compulsively collects sea glass along the beach as she collects unexpected friendship in her new beachside community, and Francis, a boy who discovers a father figure in the towering character of McDermott, an Irish mill worker, at a time when he most needs direction. Each character finds unexpected new purpose beyond the struggle to survive during that turbulent year among the dunes. First their lives barely touch, then they intersect, and finally they become inextricably bound. By the powerful and unexpected final scenes of the story, every point of view, every brilliant shard of life depends deeply on all the others. It is a very satisfying read--confidently told and deeply felt--with as many subtle colors and reflections as the sea glass that permeates the narrative. --Paul Ford

Book Description

Download Description

The year is 1929 and Honora Beecher and her husband, Sexton, are just settling into a new marriage and a cottage on the coast of New Hampshire. While Honora fixes up the derelict house and searches for bits of sea glass on the beach, Sexton risks everything they own to buy the house they both love. Along with millions of other Americans, he is blindsided by the stock market crash and finds himself penniless. The only work he can find is in a nearby mill, where a labor conflict is erupting into violence. Shaken by forces they scarcely understand, Honora and Sexton try to build a marriage and a home while overwhelmed by passions of every kind. Writing with the power and immediacy that have made her novels bestsellers, Shreve unfolds interlocking lives, each with its own share of love, loss, and challenge. This is another gripping and unforgettable story of the human heart from one of the most accomplished novelists of our time.

Luminous.......2007-09-09

When I started reading "Sea Glass," I almost stopped.

The first pages are exceedingly flat. Flat declarative sentences, describing ordinary things in ordinary language.

But Shreve's method is sly. She builds her strokes like a painter (nothing is more boring than watching a painter beginning to paint), then, click, the picture comes into place.

Her picture is brilliant.

She portrays a house by the sea, just before the Crash of 1929--rural New Hampshire. She enters the minds of her characters one by one.

Her feeling for character is acute.

Each short chapter is told from the point of view of an individual character--Honora, the newlywed, discovering a new world, her husband whom she hardly knows, the people around her, and of course herself. All this discovery is symbolized by the sea glass she finds washed up on the beach--opaque, translucent, glittering, multicolored, soft-edged with history yet mysterious.

Then there is McDermott, the partly deaf millhand, who takes care of the waif Alphonse--a child, but laboring in the spinning mills--and they run into Honora in, of all places, an airport (a rudimentary thing, in 1929).

And Vivian, the rich, bored, flashy but very smart heiress, who, suddenly confronted with the desperate harshness of the Crash and the Depression, quickly pitches in and figures out what to do.

Even Sexton, Honora's undependable husband, is treated with marvelous sympathy.

And around all these wonderfully observed points of consciousness, there is the epic, slow catastrophe of the Crash and the Depression.

In its way, "Sea Glass" is as harrowing and enormous as "The Grapes of Wrath."

Through it all, Shreve manages to retain the quiet (and the loneliness) of awareness--that sense of time-out-of-time that a beach always provides.

A brilliant, luminous book, almost more real than reality.

Sea Glass: A Novel.......2007-07-21

I would actually give this book more than 5 stars if possible! It was great-the characters were very deep-it required a lot of thinking afterwards-I would love a sequel to find out what happened next.

Boring Boring Boring but in the end, it was okay.......2007-07-12

The best thing I can say about this book is that the chapters are very short and that is what gets you through this unbelievably boring story. I wanted to love this book and the characters but their stories and interactions were terribly dull. After I put the book down, I would ask myself why am I torturing myself!

The story is mainly about one woman who gets married to someone she hardly knows. The woman collects sea glass along the shore, hence the title. Set in New England in the late 1920's, this woman meets and becomes involved with a cast of characters who all live in the same town, but all come from different points of view. In the end their lives are intertwined in a very stirring way, which is the other only positive thing I can say about this book -the ending was very dramatic. Something actually does happen in this book to make it worthwhile! The ending was really good, although sad.

I would not recommend this book, but if you are determined to give it a shot, it won't cause you too much pain. This was another book club choice, and 90% of the ladies also hated this book because it was really really boring.

SEA GLASS by Anita Shreve
May 17, 2007

Rating ***** (5 Stars)

SEA GLASS by Anita Shreve takes place in familiar territory. Fans who have read FORTUNE'S ROCKS will recognize the setting, 1920's New England in the fictional town of Ely Falls (near Fortune's Rock). There are even references to some of the characters from that previous book, letting the reader know that this book takes place after the time frame of FORTUNE'S ROCK.

The book opens with 20-year old Honora Beecher, a newlywed, who sets foot at the entrance to her new home, a beach side cottage that needs a lot of work. She and her husband Sexton are renting it. She ponders her new life as a married woman, and flashes back on how the two met.

Other characters are introduced throughout the next few chapters, and at first it will not be obvious how these characters are going to relate to each other. They come from various stations of life. McDermott is a mill worker, and he and his friends are becoming involved with the Unions, and the wages that they feel they deserve. Alphonse is a child who works to help his mother feed their large family. His father is dead. Vivian is a wealthy woman who is vacationing in the beach side town, not too far from Honora and Sexton, and is about to start an affair with her friend Dickey. Alice Willard isn't a physical presence in the book, but appears in the form of letters to her daughter Honora, with her chitchat about the goings on at home.

At the heart of the novel is the stock market crash, and Sexton, who is a traveling salesman, is one of many who loses his job and livelihood. He eventually (by accident) gets a position at the mills, and thus their lives became tangled with the soon-to-be striking mill workers. And McDermott, who had met Honora by coincidence only recently, is now seeing her almost daily, as Sexton has told his new found friends that he has a typewriting and copy machine that will help in their cause. The friendship that develops between McDermott and Honora threatens to become something more, but Honora is devoted and loyal to her new husband, a man she realizes she barely knows.

SEA GLASS is a beautifully written book. I have always enjoyed the way Anita Shreve writes, in an almost gentle prose that suits her books that take place in the early 1900's. She expertly conjures up the ambience of this era. I also admire the way she can bring characters together, writing the book in such a way that keeps the readers guessing as to how these characters will relate to one another. It adds to the suspense of the story, and always helps her books to be fast reads. Her style of writing, changing viewpoints from chapter to chapter, is what I think makes her books unique and appealing. She also does a wonderful job in describing the feelings of the people of that time, the poverty, the desperation that was felt by all, rich and poor alike.

I especially enjoyed reading about the relationship between Honora, the newlywed who seemed at first to be walking in a fog, and Vivian, the seemingly shallow wealthy woman who showed more depth to her personality as the story progressed. SEA GLASS ends in tragedy, as would be expected for a story that takes place after the stock market crash and the start of the Depression. I didn't know what to expect, but I knew the book would end with a bang. As always, this Anita Shreve novel was a joy to read, and I am looking forward to yet another book by her.

The Pot that Juan built by: Seth K

If you want to know what pottery evolved from read this book. I think it's funny but one part is disgusting, Juan uses cow manure to make a fire to harden the pots. A potter Juan and his burro are the main characters. Juan lives in the village of Mata Ortiz. Juan loves to make pottery and rides his burro up the mountains to get the clay to make the pots. Juan also makes the paint out of rocks and uses hair to paint the paint on to the pots. I recommend this book to people that like funny and a little nasty stories and who are 8-10 years old. The genre is realistic fiction because it actually could have happened. This book won the Pura Belpre Honor book award. If you want to learn about Mexico and how they make pottery, read this book.

Could have been Better for Those in the Know.......2006-03-16

For those in the know, the book suffers for want of careful editing. It is flawed, for example, by illustrator David Diaz' arrogance in placing his own designs on Quezada's pottery. Had this book been about van Gogh, Picasso or any other well-known artist, it is unlikely he would have portrayed their art with no concern for what it looked like in reality. This puts down Juan Quezada. Diaz also carelessly depicts Quezada building a pot by the continuous-coil method of the Indians of the American Southwest rather than by the distinctive method that he innovated and for which he is known. Better editing would have caught these problems with the illustrations as well as a multitude of minor inaccuracies that occur in the text, nearly one to a page. For example, in speaking of using a bean to burnish pottery, the author comments, "Of course dried beans can be found in any kitchen in the village." The bean in question is an inedible wild bean, the chilicote-not the kind that would normally be found in anyone's kitchen. Such editorial problems do not, however, detract from this production as a children's book. They are the sort that only one in the know would see.

My kid is obsessed with this book.......2004-01-23

The absorbing subject matter of this book, presented through catchy rhymes and alliteration and strong, colorful illustrations, has completely captured the imagination of my four-year-old. For three days now, he's been "Juan" almost exclusively, following ants to a vein of "the very best clay, all squishy and white," pretending to make vessels for every conceivable purpose, and peppering me with questions about Mexico, pottery-making, and Juan himself. I've had to draw the line at cutting my hair for paintbrushes and gathering the "dried cow manure" left by the neighborhood dogs. "The Pot That Juan Built" appeals to pre-schoolers' burgeoning interest in rhyme and other aspects of language; making things out of simple materials; and the world around them generally. I give it my highest recommendation!

Excellent, Beautiful Book!.......2003-11-15

I'm appalled at the lack of love for this book! I am a teacher of a 3rd grade classroom in California where my children are learing about how humans use the world around them to create their life and build their culture. This book is a perfect tie-in to this concept. The illustrations are beautiful and I found the rhymes to be intelligent and descriptive. Two thumbs up from me, and 48 thumbs up from my class!!

A Modern Classic.......2003-10-21

This is a beautiful book, in illustration and in content. It is the true story of Juan Quezada, a potter, and a celebratory tale of the village of Mata Ortiz, Mexico. Quezada's discovery of ancient pottery methods transformed Mata Ortiz from an impoverished village into a prosperous community of world-renowned artists. The story is cleverly told in the form of "The House That Jack Built". It is sing-song-y in it's rhythm and children will be enraptured by the story Ms. Andrews-Goebel has written and the beautifully vibrant illustrations of Caldecott Award winning illustrator, David Diaz. A more complete story of the famous pottery is told on the facing pages, providing intricate details of a fascinating process. A photo-illustrated afterward follows Quezada through the process of creating a pot, from the digging of the clay to the completed product. This book is a great addition to any child's multicultural library and informs us of one of the great contemporary and nationally recognized Mexican artists. DELIGHTFUL!!!

"Chea, how come good doesn't win over evil?" young Chanrithy Him asks her sister, after the brutal Khmer Rouge have seized power in Cambodia, but before hunger makes them too weak for philosophy. Chea answers only with a proverb: When good and evil are thrown together into the river of life, first the klok or squash (representing good) will sink, and the armbaeg or broken glass (representing evil) will float. But the broken glass, Chea assures her, never floats for long: "When good appears to lose, it is an opportunity for one to be patient, and become like God."

Before this proverb could come true, Chanrithy had to watch her mother, father, and five of her brothers and sisters die, murdered by the Khmer Rouge or fatally weakened by malnutrition, disease, and overwork. Now living in Oregon, where she studies posttraumatic stress disorder among Cambodian survivors, Chanrithy has written a first-person account of the killing fields that's remarkable for both its unflinching honesty and its refusal to despair. In wrenchingly immediate prose, she describes atrocities the rest of the world might prefer to ignore: her sick yet still breathing mother, thrown along with corpses into a well; a pregnant woman beaten to death with a spade, the baby struggling inside her; a sister impossibly swollen with edema, her starving body leaking fluid from the webbing between her toes.

The mind retreats from horrors like these--and yet what emerges most strongly from this memoir is the triumph of life. Chanrithy is determined to honor her pledge to the dying Chea, to study medicine so she can help others live. When Broken Glass Floats accomplishes the same goal in a different way. "As a survivor, I want to be worthy of the suffering that I endured," Chanrithy writes; by giving such eloquent voice to her dead, she has proven herself more than worthy of her suffering--and theirs. --Chloe Byrne

Book Description

In this mesmerizing story, finalist for the Kiriyama Pacific Rim Book Prize, Chanrithy Him vividly recounts her trek through the hell of the "killing fields." She gives us a child's-eye view of a Cambodia where rudimentary labor camps for both adults and children are the norm and modern technology no longer exists. Death becomes a companion in the camps, along with illness. Yet through the terror, the members of Chanrithy's family remain loyal to one another, and she and her siblings who survive will find redeemed lives in America. 15 b/w photographs.

A Trek to the Past.......2007-08-18

When Broken Glass Floats is the author's journey to find the magic of a world lost as a result of the Khmer Rouge. This book, as a personal account of the Khmer Rouge regime, is also my personal journey as a reader and a Khmer person. Through this magical journey, my own forgotten memories are awakened and many traditional beliefs that I have pushed to the back of my mind resurface.

I was too young to have memories of the Killing Fields, but I have heard enough stories to feel connected to it. There were gaps missing in my memory and this book filled those gaps. When Broken Glass Floats is poetic and touching, a book rooted in the author's desire to let the world know about the tragic death of her family. It begins when her memories are awakened as a result of her work as an interpreter and interviewer for the Khmer Adolescent Project, studying post-traumatic stress disorder among Cambodian survivors. This is a story of triumph, survival, and hope written from the Khmer soul of a Cambodian-American woman.

When Broken Glass Floats is a book with two moving and powerful purposes: one, as a therapeutic tool for the author, and, two, as a reminder of an event that should never have occurred. The author describes her book as a way "to use the power of words to caution the world, and in the process to heal myself" (p. 23). The process of writing the book became a trek to the Himalayas, "a search to recapture the long-lost magic in [her] life" (p. 23). My travels have taken me to the Himalayas. I have been seeking magic for my own healing like the author of When Broken Glass Floats. The process of reading her book and other autobiographies has provided much healing. I recommend this book for everyone who is interested in this subject, but in particular to Cambodian-Americans, because this book can take you on a journey into yourself, your soul, memories, and past.

Good reading in preparation for Cambodia trip.......2007-03-15

I read this first and then Pol Pot, by Philip Short, in preparation for a trip to Cambodia. The combination was excellent. Short's historical, researched book helped me analyze what had happened and why. Him's book gave a personal story to go with it. While I traveled in Cambodia, I thought back to her comments as often as I remembered Short's history. Together, they gave me a much better travel experience.

Heart-Wrenching.......2006-11-05

this is one of the most heart-wrenching stories I've ever heard told, and it well illustrates what can happen when such a ridiculous, unrealistic political ideology as fanatical socialism/communism - and its well-armed proponents - cause a country to self-destruct. I read this book while in Cambodia, so it had all that much more impact, and I constantly found myself looking at older people - and there seemed to be disporportionately very few people over the age of about 50, which in itself is probably part of the story - and wondering what they went through, or what they inflicted on others, back in those horrible Khmer Rouge days.

Should be required reading.......2006-07-01

I met Ms. Him at a book signing and have a hardcover signed by her. She is a beautiful, gentle woman with one of the most musical voices I have ever heard. To listen to the stories of unspeakable horror that issued from her lips as she read a passage chilled me. She is my age; while I was struggling with Algebra, she was struggling with pure evil. I promised her that I would do my best to never let her story be forgotten. My children will be required to read this when they reach the age she was in the book.

Evil exists, and it will only grow stronger if we ignore it.

A Must Read.......2006-04-07

This is a great biography of a Child's perspective of the Khamer Rougue take over in Cambodia in the 1970's. Chanrithy's story will stir up every emotion in you. This is a real story about survival during a very dark time in history. Her escapes from labor death camps, while nearly dying from starvation and sickness. The constant fear of military attack, or excecution by the Khamer Rouge soldiers. The loss of innocence, freedom, family, Friends, a life she once knew and culture she once cherished.

This is a must read for all. Chanrithy's story really breaks through all the "static" of media coverage that we hear about on the news everyday regarding similar things going on all over the world and opens the eyes of the reader to see the PEOPLE who live through these horrific experiences, and how their lives are forever changed. What I realized from reading this story is how little we as a culture are aware of what horrors have existed in the past, and the horrors that exist now. It is a travesty that we are so blind.

The other reviewers are right on.......2007-09-09

Unfortunately, I bought the book while browsing, rather than doing my usual checkups on Amazon.

I like that the author approaches the four different aspects of reading people to give an overall sense of the person, rather than just focusing on body language or personality by itself. If I can find another book on the same subject but written better, then I'd love to read it. But I had to skim past the inane quizzes, the arrogant examples, and the oversimplified explanations. In doing so, I think I may have missed a few of the good points she probably makes. I know I'll try to re-read it, because there are some good things in the book, they're just more difficult to find.

Agree with others - fluff and arrogance.......2007-08-30

I agree with the other reviewers in labeling this book as "fluff" and an opportunity for the author to talk about how great she is. She uses extreme categories liberally throughout this book - trying to pigeon-hole people into descriptive categories that are narrow and negative. For someone with a terminal degree, she provided not one reference or citation to studies that she referred to while attempting to validate her points. This book is not scientifically based and there is NO way that Oprah would have this woman or her book on her show!

reading this book.......2007-07-07

Buying this book is a waste of money. Reading this book is a waste of time. The author is evidently narcissitic. The author is not shy about dropping names of the famous people she has treated. All the examples are of famous and affluent people she knows. The thoughts are only partially developed. She begins a subject and leaves you hanging. The chapters are very generic and things you already know. The book is an advertisement for herself and at the back she has a full page devoted to contacting her to do business with her. Your money and time would be well spent looking elsewhere for help on this subject.

the wrong focus.......2007-05-07

Trust yourself. There's no technique or set of behaviors to memorize. If you get a feeling from someone that doesn't connect to the words they're saying, don't suppress it. If you don't open yourself up to all of your sensory input, learning details will mean nothing.

Not very good.......2006-10-16

There's some useful information but it's extremely difficult to find through all the pointless little quizzes and stories about how awesome the author is at reading people.

A delightfully fresh take on the "anything you can do, I can do better" theme, Elena's Serenade follows a feisty little Mexican girl on a quest to prove to her father--and herself--that she can be a glassblower, even if she is a girl. Magic realism abounds as Elena journeys (dressed as a boy) to Monterrey to learn from the great glassblowers. Along the way she meets a burro, a roadrunner, and a coyote, helping each of them accomplish their goals as she blows tunes through her father's cast-off glassblowing pipe. Arriving in Monterrey, our little "muchacho" is mocked at first, but soon silences her detractors (who continue to think she's a boy) when she creates beautiful glass stars through her pipe. If only her Papa could see what she can do! Perhaps if she blows a giant bird (golondrina), she can fly home.

A lovely story penned by Campbell Geeslin, with lyrical acrylic and crayon art by the illustrator of Jonah Winter's Frida, Ana Juan. Readers will revel in the whole experience--words, pictures, message, and all. (Ages 4 to 8) --Emilie Coulter

Book Description

Who ever heard of a girl glassblower?

In Mexico, where the sun is called el sol and the moon is called la luna, a little girl called Elena wants to blow into a long pipe...and make bottles appear, like magic.

But girls can't be glassblowers. Or can they?

Join Elena on her fantastic journey to Monterrey -- home of the great glassblowers! -- in an enchanting story filled with magic realism.

Great for Glassblowers!.......2006-06-25

Our family absolutely loves this book.
My daughter Ailia (age 4) enjoys the story, illustrations and wonderful colors in this book.
It is a fairly quick read, but not too short, a great one for bedtime.
and for us glassblowers... it simply warms the heart,

great book.......2005-12-18

This book has wonderful drawings and an imaginative story--very much in line with South American magical realism. My son loved it dubbed himself coyote (one of the characters) for two months.

Read Aloud Winner.......2005-06-04

Elena's Serenade is the first book to receive the Comstock Book Award for the year's best picture book to read aloud to older children, ages eight to twelve.

Young Elena leaves her home to embark on a magical journey to Monterrey, Mexico in order to follow her dream of learning the art of glassblowing. Later, she returns home to her father, who had refused to teach her his trade because no one had ever "heard of a girl glassblower." This story celebrates Elena's uniqueness as an artist and a person, as well as the importance of pursuing a dream.

With acrylic and crayons, Juan has created luminous paintings with an expressionistic, folk-art quality and a palette of desert colors. Juan's use of light is particularly noteworthy, especially in the illustrations depicting glassblowing. The rounded figure of Elena and her expressive facial features make her an attractive character. The colors, movement, and details of each painting invite one to linger over every page.

In selecting this book for the Award, the Read Aloud Committee noted the lyrical quality of the text, as well as children's special appreciation of the illustrations. In addition, children were interested in the conflict between Elena and her father and also enjoyed the sprinkling of Spanish words. Readers found the Spanish-English Glossary in the front of the book helpful.

Cute book.......2005-04-23

Elena's Serenade is about a little girl who travels to Monterrey, Mexico to become a glassblower. I did enjoy the story and especially the illustrations. My favorite illustration is of Elena dressed in her brother's clothes trying to look macho. I think kids will enjoy the bright sometimes humorous pictures, and the imaginative story.

Glass menagerie.......2005-01-08

I'll cut a book a whole swath of slack of it's beautifully illustrated. I'm not ashamed to admit it either. A story could be pedantic, repetitive, and dull and I'd still be gaga over it if the pictures were pretty enough. Now in the case of Campbell Geeslin's, "Elena's Serenade", I'm torn. The tale told here is actually rather interesting and well-written. Its heroine sets out on a kind of small picaresque quest and gains her heart's desire by the end. Now certainly the story is not the best written in the world. It drops certain plot points here and fails to offer any reason for other occurrences there. But it's a nice enough tale and when you take into consideration the overwhelming beauty of artist Ana Juan's illustrations.... well let's just say it's enough to salve over any nit-picking I might have. "Elena's Serenade" is beautiful and affecting without straining to please. If you don't love it, I can think of a hundred small schoolchildren who would.

Told in the first person, we see the world of Mexico through little Elena's eyes. The daughter of a glassblower, Elena's one dream is to someday learn the trade. Unfortunately, female glassblowers are entirely unheard of at this time and, anyway, Elena is too little. At the advice of her brother our heroine decides to disguise herself as a boy and travel all the way to Monterrey to study with the world's best glassblowers. Along the way she plays funny tunes on her glassblowing pipe and helps out a burro, a roadrunner, and a lovesick off-tune coyote. In Monterrey, Elena displays her new glassblowing via music technique. Suddenly she's creating stars with five points, butterflies that clink their delicate glass wings, and huge magnificent birds, one of which takes her back home. At the end of all her journeys, Elena is pleased to show her new talents to her papa and to play delightful tunes with colorful images from the tip of her glassblowing pipe.

Obviously the story has some rough spots. After all, why does Elena help out the animals of the desert if their trials have nothing to do with the story at large? What time period is this in which girls cannot be glassblowers? Sure looks like present day to me. And the magical source of Elena's power is left unclear, though I'm willing to chalk that up to magical realism and just leave it at that. These problems could have sunk a book with an illustrator less talented than Ana Juan. As it is, it's clear to me that author Campbell Geeslin lucked out. Juan first hit the children's picture book scene with a jaw-droppingly beautiful encapsulation of Frida Kahlo's life entitled, "Frida" (by Jonah Winter). She follows that success up with the equally magnificent "Elena's Serenade", and I couldn't be more pleased. Elena is the perfect heroine. Comically ridiculous when she attaches half a tortilla to her face to look like a beard. Incredibly pitiable when she hunches over in pouty misery after her father tells her that her dreams are impossible. Each page in this book is filled with luminous rounded images. From the glass butterflies that soar through the air to the moon's face as she lovingly listens to the coyote's song. Juan is also particularly good at lighting. The scenes beside the glassblower furnaces are my personal favorites. I loved how the artist was able to meld together the faces of the Monterrey artists as they stare in wonderment at Elena's fabulous glowing orange glass star. If you would like to be blown away by a book's pictures for a little while, consider being blown away by this one.

There is no getting around the fact that there are not enough picture books in the United States that celebrate aspects of Mexican life. This is one of the few and I for one will be recommending it to every child I come across for the next fiftysome years. It's not the best writing in the world but it may well have the biggest heart. For a perfectly marvelous and beautiful story, consider trying your hand on the magnificent, "Elena's Serenade". It'll make you and your children happy.

Customer Reviews:

Excellent Book, If You're Ready for It.......2007-09-15

This book is unrelentingly positive in outlook, which apparently annoys some of its previous reviewers. Hey, you can't please everyone, and why would you try? That's one of the messages in this book.

People who are looking for a 1-2-3 procedure for meeting 'terrific people' -- as in, "First, say this. Then, look for that. Then add up the score," etc., will definitely be disappointed. It offers a more advanced strategy than that, despite its somewhat 'Hollywood' appearance.

The book is particularly instructive for 'people pleasers' (aka, co-dependents) who have had the very bad habit of selecting friends based on whether they could help the friends, or on whether they could prove themselves worthy by trying to please them. The author, in a very personal style, draws a clear distinction between selecting people for your life because you want to help them, and selecting people for your life because they are great people who can be mutually supportive, great friends, companions, business associates, and more.

Lillian Glass gives a very clear, well written list of multiple types of 'terrific people' and how you can identify them -- something many people need to learn how to recognize. And she gives some very sound advice about what to do when people you thought were 'terrific' turn out not to be.

I would only give this book four stars due to its light presentation and easy reading, but the soundness of its advice, from which I've learned one or two valuable lessons, merits five. I read it several years ago, and it has survived several prunings of my library, with good reason.

If you're ready to give up selecting toxic people and being victimized, by all means buy this book! If you're cynically out to prove that you already know everything and require someone to provide you with step-by-step, manipulative instructions for reeling in the kind of people you desire, look somewhere else.

A good companion book is Glass's "Toxic People." Both are well worth reading and remembering.

Attracting Terrific People.......2006-08-16

Lillian describes in simplistic clarity how easy it is to achieve the essence of living a happy and fulfilling life. I finished the book feeling calm, confident and in control of my outcomes.

Uplifting and Fun.......2005-04-06

Although the introduction portion about why it's important to attract terrific people is a bit long, this book offers intuitive and effective advice on interpersonal and communication skills. It's written with lots of energy, enthusiasm, and optimism. An easy read, not dry at all. Lots of insightful statistics and anecdotes. I thought the stories about celebrities relevant and entertaining: after all, celebrities are the professional communicators. If I could learn a couple of important things from a book, that book is well worth its time.

If you don't like this, you probably don't get it........2004-05-20

I've read a few negative reviews from customers here on Amazon complaining that Ms. Glass never tells you how to actually attract terrific people. I think the problem is that Lillian's solution is so simple that they miss the point. The fact that they took the time to trash someone's book should suggest that they might need to read it again.

It's full of great advice that should be "common sense" but as we all know it is not that common. She didn't strike me as snobby either. Its frankly one of the audio books that I am "suggesting" that all my employees listen to with the statement: "If I thought you needed this, I would not have hired you, but listen to it anyway." I think books like this are far more valuable than any sexual harassment seminar.

This book attracts Terrible people.......2004-05-06

The author of this book cleary has a "I'm so much better than you" type of attitude. That's the sort of thing that attracts a lot of negative people to this sort of mumbo-jumbo - people like me...

this is a beautiful book the the pictures in the book are so vivid and colorful, it would make a wonderful addition to any library or it would make a great coffee table book!

visual journey into the past.......2007-07-20

I was impressed with the display groupings presented and the journey of the authors beginnings of his collections and the knowledge he aquired along the way. He gave good advice to new collectors. I open it daily and alway see something I missed. It's a great book to add to your collection.

Excellent overview of every pueblo's pottery.......2005-08-10

I'd been looking for a book like this for ages. It goes through every pueblo's pottery, describing the special characteristics of each, and talks about the important potters in each pueblo.

This is very well written in an easy going, non-snobish style, instantly increasing your depth of knowledge in southwestern pottery. The photographs are excellent and plentiful, giving many diverse examples from each pueblo/region/era.

Highly recommended for those new to collecting. I gave a copy to my parents in New Mexico, and even though they had been doing a bit of collecting for years, they have a much better understanding of the history of some of the pottery sitting on their shelves. They love this book.

A Great Place to Start.......2003-02-27

This is an excellent book for both the beginner or serious student of Southwestern Pottery. It gives examples of all styles, types, and designs, making it easy for anyone to understand what makes each Pueblo's pottery unique. Perhaps not as "in depth" as some others, this book is easily the best book out there today as far as explaining and illustrating the basics. It really is an indispensable guide and reference book. The authors are regular guys rather than scholars, so it is easy and enjoyable to read, and filled with great photos of their quite amazing collections. I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a place to begin learning about Southwestern Pottery.

A must for pottery collectors and fans.......2002-01-26

An excellent introduction and reference on Southwestern pottery. The authors cover each of the major styles and pueblos, with history, anecdotes, and great color pictures.

Book Description

Out of a long and rich tradition of pottery making among the Pueblo Indians of the American Southwest there has grown a new and exciting form. In 1964, Helen Cordero of Cochiti created a clay image of her grandfather, Santiago Quintana, with five children clinging to him. With this piece the storyteller was born. Almost at once storytellers caught the attention of the public. Beginning at Cochiti and continuing in the other pueblos, the storyteller became a favorite form of pottery. Now the form is even beginning to be used by others outside of the pueblos. The storytellers have come to include not only male figures, but females, turtles, frogs, and coyotes. In this new book, the reader will find the most extensive collection of storytellers ever gathered in print. Over 400 pieces by nearly 150 artists are shown in full color, and organized by pueblo. In addition to storytellers, nativities and other figurative pottery are represented.
