The Moonlit Earth

Christopher Rice
Publisher: Scribner/Simon & Schuster, April 06, 2010
Review: ISO favorite Christopher Rice authored four New York Times bestsellers before he turned thirty. Now he returns with his most ambitious and suspenseful story yet. The Moonlit Earth is a taut psychological thriller about a woman who must save her brother’s reputation and life after he’s accused of being involved in a terrorist attack.
When a bomb goes off in a luxury hotel in Hong Kong, security camera footage appears on news broadcasts all over the world, showing two men escaping from the blast: one is of Middle Eastern descent and the other is American. Megan and her mother are shocked to discover the young American is none other than Cameron, Megan’s brother. They quickly discover that he’s become involved with a mysterious family of wealthy Saudis.
In her desperate attempts to save Cameron’s life, Megan becomes entwined in a tangled web of secrets and lies that takes her from the decadent beaches of southern Thailand to the skyscrapers of Hong Kong. She soon finds herself part of a dark global conspiracy that involves another member of her family. From start to finish, this is an exhilarating and fast-paced ride and is surely Rice’s very best.

The White Gold of History and the Fate of Elephants
John Frederick Walker
Publisher: Atlantic Monthly Press, January 06, 2009
Review: The story of ivory is nearly as old as the human story,” writes veteran journalist John Frederick Walker, and in Ivory’s Ghosts, he provides us with a history of this “white gold” that takes us from the carvings of the Ice Age through its use in ancient Egypt, Rome, Asia, medieval Europe and the modern age.
Each age and culture found much to love in this material, using it in everything from amulets to toothpicks to billiard balls, but ivory also came with a terrible price. It became intertwined with the slave trade, and every tusk was said to also cost a human life. The other cost, of course, was to the elephants, and the book does an exceptional job of chronicling the ongoing threat to these animals and the fight to protect them.

Vision in White

Nora Roberts
Publisher: Berkley Publishing Corp, May 01, 2009
Review: Romance doesn’t get any better than a dazzling new series from the incomparable Nora Roberts. In Vision in White, the first book in The Bride Quartet series, she takes us for a walk down the aisle with four lifelong friends and professional wedding planners convinced that in their personal lives they’re destined to be bridesmaids, never brides. Are they right? We hear the sound of church bells ringing….
The Brown estate in Connecticut is where Mackensie, Parker, Laurel and Emmaline run Vows, the premier wedding planning company for couples ready to tie the knot. Despite their expertise, though, none of these fabulous women has been particularly lucky in love. Strong, independent-minded Mac, the resident photographer, doesn’t even want a relationship, having learned from a selfish mother—who married and divorced more times than she can count—that love doesn’t last. But when slightly rumpled, yet oh-so-cute Carter Maguire, a former college professor turned high school English teacher, gets involved with his sister’s upcoming nuptials, Mac can’t get him out of her mind. Unfortunately, his ex-girlfriend feels the same way—and she’s willing to play dirty to keep Mac from becoming a vision in white.

Civil War Wives

The Lives & Times of Angelina Grimke Weld, Varina Howell Davis & Julia Dent Grant
Carol Berkin
Publisher: Alfred A. Knopf, Inc./Random House, September 01, 2009
Review: In Civil War Wives, historian Carol Berkin, author of the acclaimed Revolutionary Mothers, tells the stories of three fascinating 19th-century wives. Her first subject, Angelina Grimke Weld, was a successful abolitionist orator before she married fellow abolitionist Theodore Weld. The next two, Varina Howell Davis, the wife of Confederate President Jefferson Davis, and Julia Dent Grant, wife of Civil War general and U.S. President Ulysses S. Grant, were more completely defined by their marriages. Examined together, these three women’s marriages provide unique perspectives on the turbulent times they lived through and on the social forces that guided and constrained the women of the day.
Each of these wives left behind significant written records, allowing their stories to be heard in their own voices, rather than filtered through their famous husbands’ commentaries. And each story is fascinating. Angelina Grimke began life as a pampered and self-absorbed child of South Carolina’s slaveholding planter elite, then renounced her family’s values to become one of the most effective antislavery speakers of the 1830s and one of the first Americans to demand equality for women. Yet when she married her mentor, the abolitionist Theodore Weld, she abandoned her career as a public advocate for a life as wife and mother.
Varina Howell, a child of Mississippi’s social elite, had an independent spirit that drew the disapproval of her husband and made her ill-suited to be the first lady of the Confederacy, yet served her well when she was forced to lobby for her husband’s release from prison after the war and made her a great social success when she moved to New York City after her husband’s death.
And in Julia Dent Grant’s story we see the domestic archetype of the 19th-century American woman. The daughter of a successful Missouri merchant, Julia Dent lived a childhood she described as “one long summer of sunshine, flowers and smiles,” was swept off her feet by the man she loved, and sacrificed herself completely for her husband and his career. Only after she was widowed did she, in taking upon the task of memorializing her husband, finally find her own voice.
Berkin finds common threads in these stories: all three women were born into slaveholding families but ended their lives in the free society of the Northeast. And they all had to grapple with—and resist or accept—the 19th-century ideology that regarded men and women as occupying separate spheres, with the latter always measured against an idealization of “true womanhood.
Drawing from diaries, letters, essays, speeches and memoirs, Berkin brings these wives to vivid life, giving us an intimate look at their famous relationships, and revealing the joys and hardships of being a 19th-century woman.

The Science of Bubbles, Droplets, and Foams
F. Ronald Young
Publisher: Johns Hopkins University Press, April 26, 2011
Review: From the child’s innocent play to the adult’s scientific study, bubbles capture our imagination. Fizzics, F. Ronald Young’s far-reaching and richly illustrated survey explores the complex behavior of these seemingly simple objects.
Young shows why bubbles and droplets are the reason that dolphins cannot swim faster, that the sky is blue, and that coffee rings form. They are essential to knowing how atom smashers work, how detergents clean dishes, and how to pour a perfect pint. Beyond these basics, Young shows how humans have put bubbles to use throughout history, both in technology and in medicine.
With easy-to-understand explanations and entertaining anecdotes, Young reveals the physics behind these familiar—yet surprising—objects.

The Science of What Bugs Us
Joe Palca
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons, Inc., April 25, 2011
Review: You board the train for your morning commute and pick up the newspaper. Almost immediately, the guy sitting next to you whips out his cellphone and starts yakking loudly about his amazing trip to Timbuktu. Why do you want to stuff the phone down his throat? Annoying delves into the latest findings of psychology to discover what sorts of things get on our nerves—and why.
As Joe Palca and Flora Lichtman report, in many cases there appears to be three elements required for something to be annoying. First, it must involve a stimulus that we find unpleasant and distracting. Second, it must be hard to predict when the stimulus will end. Finally, it must be impossible to ignore. (You can see why cellphone calls fit the bill.)
Within these pages, the authors discuss a wide range of annoyances, such as how skunks have taken advantage to our aversion to annoying odors; why raw onion fumes make us cry; and the secrets of trash talk among athletes. They share the results of a Northwestern University survey that ranked annoying sounds; out of 16 choices, the respondents ranked the scraping of a slate with a garden tool to be the worst, in front of rubbing two pieces of Styrofoam together and scraping metal. Why are we happy to get a raise of x dollars, but annoyed if we find that our colleague got a raise of x+500 dollars at the same time? After all, our gain is the same. They assess the reasons for this, as well as why your husband’s annoying habit of snapping his bubble gum may be transformed into an fondly remembered quirk at his funeral. The authors also investigate whether some people are genetically predestined to be annoyed all the time.
Want to understand your annoyances better? Annoying is the perfect book for you.

A Stephanie Plum Novel
Janet Evanovich
Publisher: Bantam Books, Inc./Div. of Random House, June 21, 2011
Review: It’s always a surprise where Stephanie Plum will land next, but guaranteed that her seventeenth adventure penned by #1 New York Times bestselling author Janet Evanovich is just as fun, sexy and impossible to put down as ever!
Where there’s smoke, there’s fire, and no one knows this better than New Jersey bounty hunter, Stephanie Plum. Stephanie is no stranger to trouble on the job, to say the least, but when the job itself runs into trouble—that’s like walking a tightrope without a net. Which is what it feels like when her cousin Vinnie’s bail bond business burns to the ground…and bodies start turning up in the empty construction lot! The blue-collar “Burg” can be rough, but this is ridiculous!
To make matters worse, Stephanie is forced to work out of a motor home she shares with a dancing bear, and Joe Morelli’s old-world grandmother declares a vendetta against her! And just when she decides it might be time to choose between the two men in her life—“Officer Hottie” Joe and mysterious security specialist Ranger—a third man from Stephanie’s past moves back to Trenton. Holy Smokes!
Break out a cold drink and slap on some sunscreen, this summer is sure to be a scorcher with Smokin' Seventeen.

What the Night Knows (Large Print)

Dean Koontz
Publisher: Bantam Books, Inc./ Div Random House, December 28, 2010
Review: Dean Koontz is at his chilling best in What the Night Knows.
Thirty years ago Alton Turner Blackwood murdered four families in the space of a few months. His rampage came to an end when John Calvino, just fourteen at the time, gunned him down. It’s not surprising that John grew up to be a homicide detective and what’s troubling him now is young teenager Billy Lucas; he slaughtered his family in near perfect imitation of the long-dead Blackwood. John can’t shake the feeling that the monster is back from the dead. When two more families are murdered in the same gruesome manner, John is convinced Blackwood is reaching out from the grave for one reason: to deal with him, the one who got away, and whose son is about to turn fourteen....

Donald M. Kehn, Jr.
Publisher: Motorbooks International Publishers, January 02, 2009
Review: On the morning of March 1, 1942, the destroyer USS Edsall—under orders to deliver Army Air Force fighter crews to the beleaguered island of Java—split off from her sister ship, the USS Whipple and the tanker USS Pecos, never to be seen again by Allied forces. Donald M. Kehn’s A Blue Sea of Blood explores the mystery of the Edsall’s disappearance, and the discovery of her crew’s remains on the Indonesian island of Celebes—an area known for numerous alleged Japanese war crimes. By telling the story of the Edsall, from her wide-ranging pre-war career to the curious uses to which her story was put, A Blue Sea of Blood redresses six decades of official indifference to uncover a significant chapter missing from the history of World War II.

James Patterson
Publisher: Hachette Book Group USA, February 01, 2008
Review: James Patterson’s bestselling Women’s Murder Club series doesn’t get any better than 7th Heaven. In true-to-form Patterson style, this riveting page-turner kicks off with a murder that has Detective Lindsay Boxer feeling the heat.
When a fire that kills a wealthy couple is ruled a homicide, all Lindsay can do is hope she’ll find some clues that haven’t gone up in smoke—which is what seems to have happened to California golden boy Michael Campion. The disappearance of the former-governor’s son, her other pressing case, is worrisome enough without the heart ailment that makes him a ticking time bomb.
As always, Lindsay’s friends in the Women’s Murder Club offer sound advice, yet she knows she’s the only one who can solve her personal dilemma. It’s not that Lindsay isn’t thrilled to have her lover, Joe, in San Francisco; his move from D.C. proves his sincerity. It’s just that her partner Rich Conklin always manages to find his way into her thoughts. But as fire after fire consumes more innocent couples, and the Campion case takes a shocking turn, Lindsay keeps her focus on the job. And that’s when someone puts a match to everything she values most….

Louise Erdrich
Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers, February 02, 2010
Review: When Irene America discovers her husband, Gil, has been reading her diary on the sly, she begins a secret “Blue Notebook,” which she keeps stashed in a safe-deposit box. There, she records the truth about her life and marriage, while turning her Red Diary—hidden in a place where Gil will find it—into a lurid, manipulative farce. In Louise Erdrich’s Shadow Tag, what begins as a prank soon devolves into a game of emotional cat and mouse.
When the novel opens, Irene is working on her doctoral thesis about George Catlin, the 19th-century painter whose Native American subjects often viewed his work with suspicion. Gil—an artist who made his name creating revealing portraits of his wife—realizes his fear of losing her may force him to create his greatest work yet.
As they try to hide their marital troubles from their three precocious children, Irene drifts into genteel alcoholism and takes steps in ending her marriage—but she soon discovers that her attachment to Gil is full of shadowy need and delicious ironies. This brilliantly controlled novel explores the complex nature of love, the fluidity of personal identity and one family’s struggle for survival.

The Inn BoonsBoro Trilogy, Book 1
Nora Roberts
Publisher: Berkley Publishing Corp, November 01, 2011
Review: What better way for Nora Roberts to honor the wonderful inn she owns and restored in Maryland than to write a trilogy set around the historic landmark? The Next Always begins the Inn Boonsboro trilogy and it is centered on the three Montgomery brothers, particularly Beckett. As the architect in the family, and its rugged loner, Beckett is heading the restoration of the town’s historic hotel long-rumored to be haunted. But lately, the only thing haunting Beckett is his overwhelming desire to kiss Clare Brewster, a widow with three young sons who, since returning to Boonsboro, operates the local bookshop.
Clare would have to be blind not to notice Beckett Montgomery is even more handsome than he was during their high school days. As the grand opening of the hotel approaches, Beckett gives Clare a private tour and she’s surprised—and excited—by the intensity of their connection. Maybe that’s why she pays little attention to another would-be lover whose feelings for her have evolved into a dangerous obsession….
Roberts is at her riveting best in The Next Always, as the story races to a stunning conclusion that combines out-of-this-world passion and suspense.

Freeing Ourselves from Old Habits and Fears
Pema Chodron
Publisher: Shambhala Publications, Inc., September 08, 2009
Review: We’ve all been in situations where someone criticizes us and we “lose it.” We lash out or reach for a dessert, a drink or some other substance to numb our pain. Pema Chodron shows us how to liberate ourselves from these painful situations.
Taking the Leap helps us stay present rather than running from life’s hurts, open our hearts and connect with courage and compassion. With warmth and encouragement, Pema Chodron offers the “four R’s” of working with these difficult moments—transformational teachings and practices we can put to use in our daily lives.
When we are willing to connect with our own strength, wisdom and confidence and no longer go for the habitual act, we address the root of the problem...and free ourselves from it.

Stella Cameron
Publisher: Harlequin Books, February 23, 2010
Review: Born of an ancient family of psychics, Marley Millet has the uncanny ability to travel out of body, her spirit form invisible to all around her. It’s an unsettling gift, and one she knows would brand her as a lunatic, but when she witnesses the fates of two missing New Orleans singers, she has no choice but to speak up.
Flinty cop-turned-reporter Gray Fisher is as enchanted by Marley as he is fascinated by her incredible story. Together, they make an unlikely team, but as they scour the clubs of the French Quarter in Stella Cameron’s Out of Body, they make a dangerous discovery. The evil stalking the Big Easy is not what it seems. And now that it’s set its eye on Marley, it’s on the hunt once more. And it’s very hungry.

Jonathan Franzen
Publisher: Farrar, Straus & Giroux, August 31, 2010
Review: Patty and Walter were the avant-garde of the Whole Foods generation. Greener than Greenpeace, she was the ultimate hands-on mom, while he was an environmental lawyer who commuted to work on his bicycle.
Except, as Freedom opens, they’re going through a sea of change. Why has their teenage son moved in with the Republican family next door? Why has Walter taken a job with Big Coal? And, most of all, why is Patty—once the bright star of Barrier Street—becoming unhinged before everyone’s eyes?
Charting the lives of these intensely realized characters, author Jonathan Franzen (The Corrections) has produced a darkly comic novel about family, suburbia, middle age and love. It’s an indelible and deeply moving portrait of our time.

The Walking Dead: Rise of the Governor

Book 1 of the Governor Trilogy
Robert Kirkman
Publisher: Tor Books, October 11, 2011
Review: As if flesh-chomping zombies weren’t bad enough, The Walking Dead universe is rife with roving bands of survivors, all seeking safe haven. Some are led by villains of the roughest kind. But there is no greater villain than the despot who runs the walled-off town of Woodbury—The Governor.
Brutal and malevolent, the Governor has his own sick sense of justice: whether it’s forcing prisoners to battle zombies in the arena for the townspeople’s amusement, or chopping off the appendages of those who cross him.
The year he debuted, the Governor was voted “Villain of the Year” by Wizard magazine, and his story line was the most controversial in the history of The Walking Dead comic book series. Now, for the first time, fans will discover how The Governor became the man he is, and what drove him to such extremes.
Written by Robert Kirkman, co-creator of the New York Times bestselling comic books and executive producer and writer on the record-breaking Walking Dead television show, and acclaimed horror novelist Jay Bonansinga, The Walking Dead: Rise of the Governor is the debut novel in an original three-book story arc—a splatter-punk tale of pure horror, as zombie fiction was meant to be.

Phillis Gershator
Publisher: Henry Holt & Company, Inc., February 01, 2010
Review: It’s Emilie Chollat’s cheery and bright illustrations that make Who's Awake in Springtime? such a fun book to wind down with at the end of a busy day. (For example, the picture of a boy wearing a fluffy lamb costume and red high tops and grinning from ear to ear while he dances with a flock of sheep until they wear each other out is especially cute!) From a tree-ful of sweetly smiling caterpillars to the little fishies in the sea, most of the animals are already asleep, but not baby jay, busy bee, the minnow, the duckling and the kitten—at least, not yet! But before you know it, they’re drifting into dreamland, and with Phillis Gershator and Mim Green’s soothing, rhythmic verse, your sleepyhead will soon follow suit. (Ages 2-4)

Generation A

Douglas Coupland
Publisher: Scribner/Simon & Schuster, November 01, 2009
Review: Set in the near future, in a world where bees are extinct, Douglas Coupland’s Generation A tells the riveting story of five unconnected people from across the globe—the US, Canada, France, New Zealand and Sri Lanka—who are inexplicably stung. This shared experience unites them in ways they could have never imagined.
A funhouse mirror version of Coupland’s classic debut, Generation X, the novel explores brave new ways to tell a story in this increasingly digital world. Like the majority of his work, his latest opus brilliantly straddles that peculiar hinterland between optimism and nihilistic paranoia. Grandiose, ambitious and fantastically entertaining, this could just be Coupland’s crowning achievement.

Review: From Patricia Falvey, the acclaimed author of The Yellow House, comes The Linen Queen, a moving tale of love and loyalty set in Northern Ireland during the Second World War.
Winning the Linen Queen beauty competition—and its prize money—at first seems the answer to Sheila McGee’s prayers, giving her the means to escape her small mill town. Unfortunately, before she could set her plans in motion, the Belfast blitz makes it impossible for her to get the travel papers she needs. Another opportunity opens up, however, when the Americans—and Captain Joel Solomon—arrive, but even as Sheila fights to hold on to her dream, the war marches ever closer, threatening to engulf her and her friends in the flames of hatred and destruction.

Jeffrey Ricker
Publisher: Bold Strokes Books, November 15, 2011
Review: Meet Joel Patterson. By rights, he should be the happiest man in the whole wide world. After all, he’s just returned from a glamorous two-week vacation in London, where he met the handsome Philip, who very well might be the man of his dreams. How long ago that seems now. Instead of riding through life on a cloud, Joel is instead heading to Maine for his mother’s funeral.
In Jeffrey Ricker’s Detours, Joel finds himself abruptly quitting his job in order to fulfill his mother’s final request: namely, to unload her albatross of an RV by delivering it to an old family friend—all the way out in California.
Somehow, Joel’s high school “friend” Lincoln has invited himself along for the ride, and into Joel’s bed. The other person who’s invited herself along? The ghost of his mother, who still has plenty to say about her son’s judgement (or lack thereof) from beyond the grave.
Joel has to get the RV to San Francisco, get rid of Lincoln, and get back to Philip. It would also make him happy to find out what’s keeping his mother tied to this earthly plane—and how to snip it! However Joel manages it, the road ahead is anything but straight and narrow….

Tami Hoag
Publisher: Bantam Dell, December 29, 2009
Review: In Deeper Than the Dead, #1 New York Times bestselling author Tami Hoag raises the bar for every other writer of suspense. In other words, this is the book her fans have been anticipating.
In 1984, an idyllic California community is rocked to its core when three children stumble upon the body of a woman buried in a shallow grave, her eyes and mouth glued shut. Concern for the traumatized 10-year-olds leads their teacher, Anne Navarre, to get involved with the investigation, which grows more intense once the local sheriff reveals this woman isn’t the killer’s first victim. And FBI agent Vince Leone, a trailblazer in criminal profiling, has only more bad news. He believes the cunning monster they seek could be a pillar of their community, like Dr. Peter Crane, who treated the victim the day she disappeared, or by-the-book patrolman Frank Farman. What’s more, both men are fathers of children who found the body, children who, out of fear or love—or both—may be concealing vital information.
Knowing that the See-No-Evil killer could be among them, as Vince insists, has made Anne suspicious of everyone. But a monster wearing a mask is impossible to spot until, that is, he taps you on the shoulder.

The Eerie Silence

Renewing Our Search for Alien Intelligence
Paul Davies
Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Pub. Co., April 13, 2010
Review: Are we alone in the universe? Fifty years after the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) was initiated, the cosmos remains eerily silent. Have we been looking for alien life in the wrong way, and can we do a better job of it? Paul Davies offers his provocative answers to these questions in The Eerie Silence.
Davies expresses his belief that SETI so far has fallen into an anthropocentric trap—assuming that an alien species will look, think and behave much like us. In these pages, he refocuses the search, challenging existing ideas of what form an alien intelligence might take, how it might try to communicate, and how we should respond if it does.
One way to refine our ideas about alien life, argues Davies, is to study exotic species here on Earth, e.g., microbes that are known to thrive under extreme conditions under the sea. We must also question the notion that E.T. is trying to contact us via radio telescope; the era of radio communications may be a relatively brief one compared to the total lifetime of an advanced civilization. Nor we can we conclude that just because no one’s knocking on our door today, this means they were never here; perhaps aliens visited Earth when we had yet to evolve. Davies goes on to explain why, if we ever encounter aliens, it is overwhelmingly likely that they will be post-biological in nature, i.e., in machine form. “I think it very likely,” he writes, “that biological intelligence is only a transitory phenomenon.” And what does Davies feel are the chances of ever actually hearing from intelligent aliens? His opinion, offered in the book’s final pages, may surprise you.
The Eerie Silence is an intelligent critique of our efforts so far to detect life elsewhere.

The Path Between the Seas

The Creation of the Panama Canal: 1870-1914
David McCullough
Publisher: Simon & Schuster,
Review: David McCullough, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author and the preeminent master of narrative history, tells an epic tale spanning four centuries of political intrigue, tragic failures, and heroic successes. In his skilled hands, the evolution of the Canal becomes the stuff of majestic legend. McCullough consulted more than 400 books and some 100 technical journals, as well as the fiction of Joseph Conrad and Jules Verne, in order to re-create the mood that motivated this grand enterprise. The result is a sweeping vision of the canal project from conception to completion that rings true at every turn.
There have been other books about great construction projects—some written by McCullough himself. But few can match The Path Between the Seas for its unprecedented scope and immense readability. Like the great adventure novels of the past, this is a page-turner of the highest order that will captivate anyone interested in American history. “In the hands of McCullough, the digging of the great ditch becomes a kind of peacetime epic....The book will absorb you.... You won't want to put it down once you've started reading it.”—The New York Daily News

Robert B. Parker
Publisher: Putnam Pub Group/Member Penguin Putnam, October 05, 2009
Review: Abigail Larson, Beth Jackson, Regina Hartley and Nancy Sinclair belong to a very exclusive club: over the years they’ve all been seduced, exploited and abandoned by a man named Gary Eisenhower. Now, claiming he has proof positive of each affair, he’s threatening to expose them to their very wealthy older husbands—and the world—if they don’t pay him off. At the women’s behest, their lawyer hires Spenser to make him stop, without causing a stir.
Looking for a pattern, Spenser finds that all four women met Gary at a health club called Pinnacle Fitness. And that’s when things get interesting. First two goons show up, muscle for their boss, Chet Jackson—Beth’s husband. Then Spenser meets with Gary himself, a real cool character who doesn’t scare easily. Gary brags that he likes a lot of action with a wide variety of women…and it seems not all of them are rich. Susan, Spenser’s longtime love, suspects that Gary’s getting something more out of the deal besides sex and money. And when bodies start turning up, Spenser knows she's on to something....
With lean, muscular prose and sparkling wit, The Professional is further proof that Robert B. Parker is in a crime writer’s class all his own.

A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment
Eckhart Tolle
Publisher: New World Library, January 01, 2000
Review: Eckhart Tolle underwent a profound inner transformation at age 29. It took him another 10 years to understand how he had gone from despair to self-realization, but this former Cambridge University researcher ultimately forged a deeply personal and eminently practical philosophy, which he outlined in his now-classic 1999 book, The Power of Now. An inspirational guide to spiritual enlightenment, this New York Times #1 bestseller contains the simple message that living in the now is the surest path to true happiness. Covering such topics as enlightened relationships, the creative use of the mind and the cycle of life, Tolle maintains that freeing ourselves from the obsessive mind is “the only true liberation” worth achieving.
