A Monster Named Criney who Makes Kids Whiney - Review
Excellent! The best children book of this genre that I have
had the pleasure to review! A Monster Named Criney Who Makes Kids Whiney by
Heather Zuckerman can be classified as a juvenile fiction
geared for children aged between three and seven.
Mood-setting bright color full pages greet the reader upon
opening the durable cover. Superb use of rhythmic cadence
and clever design entices the reader to use voice
characterization and promotes interaction with the readers.
Because of these traits, this book would work wonderfully
when read aloud to a group of children. Whenever Criney stops near a home to rest his weary feet,
the children inside become upset and whine. The story has
Criney 'visit' several homes before a solution is found. I
think it will help children realize how silly and useless their
whining and pouting is. The book goes one step further by
teaching children a tool to conquer those awful feelings and
change their emotions through laughter. Laughter IS the
best medicine after all! Light-hearted and warm ? this book really had me grinning!
This could be incorporated as an excellent tool that uses
humor to aid parents, educators and anyone else in fields
working with younger children, against the nerve-grating
whining and anger that all children experience. ISBN#: 0974430706

Thinking for a Change - AchieveMax Top Ten Book Review
John C. Maxwell is back again in Thinking for a Change: 11 Ways Highly Successful People Approach Life and Work to add to his more than 30 previous titles with his encouraging tone and down-to-earth writing style. As usual he offers a very simple premise: "To do well in life, we must first think well." This certainly is not a new premise. In fact, it's been around for years, and we've heard it paraphrased by dozens of authors of note. However, as usual, Maxwell simplifies, clarifies, and guides his readers on the journey of mastering "good thinking" to achieve their personal and professional potential. Through his extensive research over the years he has found that "successful people think differently than unsuccessful people."
Jesus and the Gnostic Cathars
These are some of the highlights of a connected story of Milesian/Phocaean/ Phoenician architects who allow 'his'-story to confuse the masses. It is still going on and we must try to change it. There was a better time if one is concerned for freedom and ethics, and there is no Malthusian 'one pie' to worry about. Creative potential can develop new pies!

Undercurrent Blues Has A Rhythm of Its Own - Poetry Book Review
On July 17, 2005 Cahuenga Press released Undercurrent Blues by James Cushing (Cahuenga is a cooperative press and Undercurrent Blues is the 14th book they have published since their inception in 1989). The collection includes poems written from 1989 through 1991 and 1997 through 2002. If you're like me, you immediately ask where 1992 through 1996 went. Mr. Cushing explains the skip in time in his Author's Note at the beginning of the book. Basically, the poetry included reflects the first 25 years of his writing life.

Erasure and the Othering of Texts
Percival Everett's Erasure takes a look at how racism affects various aspects of our lives that we may be unaware of. An excellent example of this is when Ellison ventures into the bookstore to look for his novel only to realize that they are in the Africa-American literature section. A place, as he points out, that is wholly inappropriate for the type of novels he writes and makes it impossible for anyone who might be interested in his re-workings of obscure Greek texts.
