Inspirational Pamphlet.......2007-08-07
"Free the Beagle" is clearly written for the same audience that will inevitably write five star reviews for "The Secret." Barely scraping by at 86 pages, with liberal illustrations and plenty of white space, the book actually relies on "discussion questions" and a round table conversation in the appendix of the book just in case the reader somehow missed the overt symbolism.
And as the Matrix sequels made abundantly clear, hidden messages do not a great story make. Unless you enjoy hearing a smarmy narrator try and convince you that Faith is a prerequisite for a successful life (never mind atheists, agnostics, and unbelievers)or a business, depending on your interpretation, then be sure to leave this read on the self-help bookshelf, where it belongs along with other pretentious and painfully shallow and superficial works. Hardly qualifying as a book, I can only guess how poorly its sequels turned out.
A 'Phantom Tollbooth' for a new generation.......2006-01-30
This is a weird and wonderful book! Wonderful, because the story of the lawyer and his beagle and their journey to Destinae is a playful re-telling of the hero's journey, filled with clever wordplay and fun surprises that can't help but bring a smile to your face. Weird, because the wonderful, simple story is followed up by a surreal transcript that purports to be six well-known intellectuals discussing the relative merits and interpretations of the story over drinks at a hotel in New York.
A bit of web research seems to indicate that none of them exist outside of the mind of the author, who has included quotes from each of them on his website recommending his book. I really did love the story, though if the tail end of the book is the author winking at us, he is doing so in hopes that the readers eyes are firmly closed.
Review by Irene Watson, author of "The Sitting Swing.".......2005-11-13
Simply creative! What a fun way to "get it."
One story... many views........2005-08-29
Considering the book is categorized as business and self-help, the reader gets treated to an unexpected tale rather than what most expect when reading a business book. Some business books have used this approach and have been successful by teaching through a tale.
The tale in Free the Beagle is open to many interpretations. The reader goes on the journey with a lawyer and his beagle. The two meet various obstacles and characters in every chapter, and each chapter could change your mind what the story tries to teach.
While reading the story, try to enjoy for what it's about and avoid the temptation to over-analyze it. See where it goes and then read the transcript. Chances are at least one of the six individuals interpreted the story the same way as you. If you read the story a second time, your perceptions might change, especially after reading the transcript.
The story covers hope, intellect, love, intuition, and faith that can be applied to business and life. These emotions are characters in the book and they represent their names. When the tale ends, one might think it's a nice story that could have several meanings. But the whopper and the book's gem comes in the last chapter with the transcript of the dialogue in which six individuals in various professions share their perspectives and interpretation of the story.
There is one gripe with the story. The use of "Son of the King" is limiting. Many of us think of one thing when it comes to that reference no matter our religious background or lack of one. Using a different reference would help the book stick to its goal of leaving things wide open to different interpretations. Free the mind of the reference and let book guide you on an adventure without any preconceived notions. Even the other business books that use storytelling don't measure up to this one.
From The Innovation Road Map Magazine.......2005-05-13
This is probably one of the most creative business or personal development books you will ever read. Free the Beagle can be interpreted on many levels and can be read by entrepreneurs, business people, innovants, inventors, change agents, children, women and men. Each person who reads it will likely take away a different message, but all the interpretations I've heard are positive.
Free the Beagle is the Hero's Journey described by Joseph Campbell. It is a trip into the workings of our mind. It demonstrates the power of culture and convention to limit our capacity for growth. It is philosophy. It's uncommon sense. Is it autobiographical?
Peering over the rims of his glasses, the towering judge said, "You have questions, Counselor Intellect?"
"What about my cases?"
As he strode toward the exit behind his bench, Judge Grey answered over his shoulder: "They have all been reassigned."
"Surely there is a schedule - charts, maps, a budget?"
Framed now in the doorway to his private chambers, Judge Grey turned to face the lawyer. "Your journey will take what it takes."
And he was gone.
The lawyer is ordered on an unwanted journey with a Beagle in his care, a gift to the Son of the King in Destinae. On his trip he encounters a variety of strangers who befriend him or hurt him, but each teaches a lesson.
A shadowy gentleman in a formal riding coat slipped quietly from behind a tree. "Well, well, well," he said in an elegant whisper. "What brings a man like you so deep onto the Forrest of Confusion?" Seeing that the lawyer was somewhat taken aback, the shadowy fellow bowed like an aristocrat and, with a calculated flourish, produced a card from his ruffled sleeve. "My name is Worry," he smiled, "and I'm here to help you."
Drawing himself quickly up to his full height and straightening his clothes as best he could, the lawyer asked in his best lawyer voice, "Do you know the way through this forest?"
Worry replied softly, "Oh, but I was born in this forest."
Worry introduces the lawyer to Fear and Fear brings in Panic. They rob him of everything that he has. He is left unconscious. He awakens with the Beagle on his chest - the one he had tied to the tree - wondering how the beagle had gotten free.. He still has his duty and obligation to fulfill, but nothing else but the clothes he was wearing and a Beagle named Intuition.
Intellect, the lawyer, and Intuition, the beagle, encounter many adventures together on their way to Destinae as their partnership grows.
If I tell you much more, you won't have to read it and I want you to read the book. It's a fun read with only 125 pages and CD recording of a reading of the book in character.

Customer Reviews:
Valuable resource!.......2003-04-08
As a student who wants to work for agencies to prevent crime on the internet, I wasn't sure how much "Family Law and Practice: The Paralegal's Guide" was going to do for me. It turned out to be an incredible resource, not only of how the system works, but also of the workings of families in suboptimal conditions.
I could have done without the "Figures," which were mostly illustrations and seldom court forms; but on the whole, the book was well-written and obviously well-researched.
This book seems to portray very realistically family breakdown AND how the attorney and paralegal fit in. If "Family Law and Practice: The Paralegal's Guide" isn't a part of every business school's paralegal program, it should be. I got a LOT out of the course, and might not have if it hadn't been for the wonderful text.
Great for Students and People Interested in the Law.......2001-05-27
This is a wonderful book for both students and people interested in family law. It covers everything from the history of family law to current events, such as Roseanne and Tom Arnold's marriage. The cases are more like soap operas than the dry cases one usually associates with law. These cases will inspire great conversation in the classroom and will hold the students' interest from start to finish.

In 1815, Napoleon's armies fell to defeat at Waterloo, a clash that would change the course of world events. Far more Europeans died that year, though, as a result of a volcanic explosion in Indonesia--one cataclysmic eruption among the many that figure in this sidelong view of the Earth's history.
The explosion of Tambora in April 1815, geologists de Boer and Sanders write, sent a plume of volcanic ash high into the planet's atmosphere, bringing on a "nuclear winter" that devastated crops in the northern hemisphere, yielding famine and plague. Moreover, they add, the explosion cast a hazy pall over much of Europe, a gloom that inspired Mary Shelley to write her famed novel, Frankenstein. Another explosion, more than 3,000 years earlier, pulverized the Mediterranean island of Thera, giving rise to the legend of Atlantis and causing whole civilizations to collapse. Still another eruption on the island of Tristan da Cunha, in 1961, "brought [the 20th century] to this most isolated of the earth's inhabited places."
The authors' overview of nature's ability to thwart human intentions makes for fascinating reading, sure to appeal to fans of Perils of a Restless Planet, Surviving Galeras, and other chronicles of the trembling earth. --Gregory McNamee
Book Description
When the volcano Tambora erupted in Indonesia in 1815, as many as 100,000 people perished as a result of the blast and an ensuing famine caused by the destruction of rice fields on Sumbawa and neighboring islands. Gases and dust particles ejected into the atmosphere changed weather patterns around the world, resulting in the infamous ''year without a summer'' in North America, food riots in Europe, and a widespread cholera epidemic. And the gloomy weather inspired Mary Shelley to write the gothic novel Frankenstein.
This book tells the story of nine such epic volcanic events, explaining the related geology for the general reader and exploring the myriad ways in which the earth's volcanism has affected human history. Zeilinga de Boer and Sanders describe in depth how volcanic activity has had long-lasting effects on societies, cultures, and the environment. After introducing the origins and mechanisms of volcanism, the authors draw on ancient as well as modern accounts--from folklore to poetry and from philosophy to literature. Beginning with the Bronze Age eruption that caused the demise of Minoan Crete, the book tells the human and geological stories of eruptions of such volcanoes as Vesuvius, Krakatau, Mount Pelée, and Tristan da Cunha. Along the way, it shows how volcanism shaped religion in Hawaii, permeated Icelandic mythology and literature, caused widespread population migrations, and spurred scientific discovery.
From the prodigious eruption of Thera more than 3,600 years ago to the relative burp of Mount St. Helens in 1980, the results of volcanism attest to the enduring connections between geology and human destiny.

Every educated person.......2005-06-26
The messages of this work are necessary for every educated person, and this book delivers its messages notably well.
As soon as a person begins to become educated so as to have some sense of one's place in time and space, and cause and effect, one's perception of things, and the awareness of the interconnectedness of things becomes compelling, and utterly fascinating.
This is the stuff of Volcanoes in Human History. This book is wonderfully accessible to any reasonably intelligent reader because it is brief and the text is clear and readable. If one is new to earth science, this book will educate him or her about the subject at hand, and will provide fascinating examples of dramatic geological events and their sometimes long lasting effects -- what they call the vibrating string.
Most people know at least something about Pompeii, many have at least heard of Krakatau, and all Americans know about Mt St Helens. But few readers will probably have heard before about Tambora and its virtually worldwide effects, or about a place call Toba, whose prehistoric eruption perhaps nearly extinquished the human species.
I highly recommend this book, and give thanks to the authors, Jelle Zeilinga de Boer (whose name is guaranteed to wake up your spell checker) and Donald Theodore Sanders for bringing it to us.
Science and Humanity.......2003-03-13
This book is written in a clear and engaging style that conveys a scientific understanding of vulcanoloy and the consequences, both positive and negative, of volcanic activity on human life and society.
The authors incorporate a discussion of the physical processes that drive volcanic activity with vivid descriptions of historic eruptions. The book includes nine well-chosen case studies that highight differences in type, intensity and effects of eruption. The authors vividly describe the effects of volcanic eruptions on natural and human environments, human history and human behavior. Throughout the book are highly explanatory yet simple illustrations of the natural processes at work and the specific volcanoes under study.
The authors convey the inspiring power of volcanic acitivity and place natural and human impacts within short and long-term perspectives. This book is clear and informative science coupled with thought provoking history and engaging human interest.
From plate tectonics and environmental impact, to entertaining stories of the effects of volcanic eruptions on art and literature or the creation of mythology, to thought-provoking effects on human life, migration and economic decline - its all here.
Volcanoes in Human History.......2002-11-04
Volcanoes in Human History: The Far-Reaching Effects of Major Eruptions written by Jelle Zeilinga de Boer and Donald Theodore Sanders is an engaging book about the awesome power of volcanoes its effects and how volcanoes are born. This book takes the reader on a short journey through time as we explore the origins and mechanisms of volcanism and shoing us how this affected human history, societies, cultures, and the environment.
This book explores nine volcanic eruptions, diccussing the geological setting in terms of plate tectonics; the theory that virtually rigid segments of the earth's crust move about over a less rigid layer and collide, and that the collisions give rise to earthquakes and volcanic activity. Then the book goes over the human terms following the aftereffects of volcanic eruption.
Volcanism is the surface manifestation of a living earth, the author likens a volcanic eruption as the plucking of a long tight-stretched string representing time: when the string is plucked it vibrates. Where the string is plucked is the volcanic activity or eruption where a great deal of energy is being released, the vibrations will have high amplitudes and short wavelengths. These vibrations will be powerful, but only last for a short time. But, as the vibration flows down the string (time), the amplitudes will decrease and the wavelengths increase, whithat the aftereffects will become less intense and they will last longer. The eruption will last days, volcanic aftereffects will last months, Climate change, Famine, epidemics, diaspora will last years; Economic and ecologic revival will last decades, and cultural effects will last centuries.
The books narrative is easy to read and is very understandable making this subject easy to understand. Most of us see a volcano erupt on the news and that is all we know until the news shows us another eruption. What we are not given is the far-reaching effects of what is really happening within the earth. Volcanism is the earth's way of renewing itself and releaving the tremendous pressures from deep within.
Reading this book will give the reader a greater appreciation about what really goes on, on the earth we walk upon. As the population of the earth increases, the effects of volcanism will be magnified, it is crucial that we understand the origin of volcanism as well as the devastation it can cause, and the aftereffects, for good or ill, that can linger for years, even decades, to come.
This is an incrediblly well-told story that is informative but nontechinical.
Living Under The Volcano.......2002-08-17
We are used to having to deal with changes in the weather, but twenty years ago, meteorologists were having to deal with a new atmospheric manifestation. Mount Saint Helens had blown up in the state of Washington, and had affected air quality, air travel, and emotions in the region, and had world-wide weather consequences. It certainly was not the first time a volcano shaped the weather, for volcanoes have had major effects on weather and even history. _Volcanoes in Human History: The Far-Reaching Effects of Major Eruptions_ (Princeton University Press) by Jelle Zeilinga de Boer and Donald Theodore Sanders takes nine famous or obscure volcanoes and demonstrates that volcanoes are an active part of our lives.
Surprisingly, volcanic effects are not all bad. Volcanic soils are very fertile, and we use plenty of minerals of volcanic origin. The gases from volcanoes made the Earth's atmosphere before photosynthesis took over. Many geologists think that all the water on earth was originally released by volcanoes. The book shows a very interesting aspect of Hawaii, in that it is in the middle of the Pacific plate, not near the edges where the plates are barging into each other and which are the usual sites of volcanic activity. The plate carrying the islands is floating slowly over a particular hotspot, which pokes up as the plate floats over it, and gives rise to the familiar Hawaiian Island chain. Iceland is on such a hotspot, too, and besides that, it straddles the Mid-Atlantic ridge, where the ocean floor is being split apart as the plates separate at about two centimeters a year. The Bronze Age eruption of Thera in the Mediterranean directly weakened Crete, which permitted the Greeks to expand into the area; Mycenaean Greece was given the boost that made it the ancestor of classical Greece, with incalculable effects on the entire Western civilization ever since. Mount Pelée's explosion in Martinique in 1902 stopped an election that would have furthered the political advancement of black and mixed-race people on the island, and throughout the French colonies. The list of contingencies is fascinating.
All of the volcanoes described here are still active; we have not heard the last of them, and perhaps there is someday going to be a blast like that in Toba in the Pacific 74,000 years ago, which was thousands of times bigger than Mount St. Helens, and may have affected human evolution. This surprising, informative book is a useful look at how volcanoes effect land, sea, humans, and society. Even those of us not under the shadow of a volcano are living in the volcano zone.
Fascinating history, plenty of facts I didn't know about........2002-05-07
I got this book to read more about the various volcanic eruptions I'd always heard of. You get a lot of detail and history about eruptions in Iceland, Hawaii, Europe and the Pacific, much of it I hadn't seen before. I didn't know most of the details given about Krakatau (usually spelled incorrectly as Krakatoa)such as weather effects and how far away the blast was heard. Did you know that people close to Mount St. Helens did not hear the blast,due to the way the sound carried, they only felt it?. That's an example of the level of detail given to the various examples of eruptions given. My one real complaint is that all measurements are given in metric format with only a small conversion table given in the preface to help people like me out. This book is well worth reading for anyone at all interested in volcanic eruptions.
