Too Costly for the information contained in.......2004-05-12

The book is unnecessarily made too costly for the information within. There are several good books available at a lower price.

Book Description

Tom Wolfe returns to an old friend of his, Santa Claus. In his own special way he leads the carver through each step of the carving process. The result is a traditional Santa in stride, heading for the reindeer pen to hook up for the Christmas flight. He is accompanied by old Rudolph, who looks a bit bewildered by the night that lies ahead. Every step, from the blank to the painted Santa, is documented with a color photograph and a clear instruction. Patterns are provided for the project, the reindeer, and several other interesting Santas. A gallery of the other Santas is included for reference to the other possibilities. This is a book for all to enjoy and learn from! , 190 color photos, 8 1/2" x 11"

A glimpse into a disappeared world.......2005-04-11

This is a truly fascinating memoir of the bygone days in France and India. Alain Danielou was a scholar without being an academician; a homosexual without being gay; a seeker into Hindu mysteries without being mystical. His dry sense of humor illuminates these pages, and his clarity of perception does not spare such modern icons as Gandhi or Nehru. If you are interested in the 1930s-1940s East Indian scene perceived without any intellectual or ideological blinkers, this book is for you.

A fascinating account of life in Varanasi and beyond.......2000-08-03

Danielou was an amazing forerunner of the modern India traveler, who had the good fortune to hook up with a wealthy lover who helped him travel and live in style in India in first half of 20th century. This bon vivant gay couple were trendsetters in many ways, being among the first Westerners to visit the neglected erotic sculptures of Khajuraho and photograph them in black and white, while living in a palatial silverstream type of camper imported from southern California.

Danielou describes their pleasant lives in a rented Maharaj's estate on the banks of the Ganges where the couple learned languages, music, and entertained tout le monde.

A compelling look at Westerners' first real entree into the literati life of Benares/Varanasi as well as high Indian art and culture. A personal odyssey, that brought Danielou back to Paris with a newfound ambition to bring Indian classical music to the world's attention and to preserve it as well. This was a heroic task which he apparently succeeded in accomplishing.

Book Description

This work is a study of the various ways in which individuals and groups use memory narratives to express and form the quality of their lives. Activities of remembering, forgetting, reconstructing, metamorphosizing, and vicariously remembering are described for cultures in Latin America, Africa, Europe, Canada, and the United States. The authors find that the territory of memory is bounded by neither space nor time, but exists in the minds of individuals and groups. Memory changes as individuals and cultures change, forming a dialogue between the past and the present in response to present and changing needs. Memories of dislocation, war, torture, famine, and separation are given particular attention for the way they create meaning in the present and future lives of those who remember and share their memories.

For "William"-

You CAN purchase the hard copy edition of this, if you haven't already. The ISBN is 1401874126. You can get it used on Amazon or you can call Chilton and purchase it for $169.00 new. You can probably return the CD to Chilton if you haven't opened it yet.

Best of luck.
