Editorial : At last we get to hear from this mind, this physicist of consciousness who has walked naked and splendid into the incredible opportunity that we all call life. Each of his great little tales is a koan. --Paul Wood, Writer
This book is a trip. Seriously. For anyone who knows Jim Loomis, this isn't at all surprising. Part memoir, part photo album, part poetry collection, the book is all Loomis and all fantastic. It's clear from reading just a few pages that Loomis' mind spins just a little faster (and a few degrees off) from the rest of us. The result is crisp, living prose that dances and leaps off the page. Quote: I'm grateful for the typing course I took sixty years ago. And agriculture: my carrot won first prize. Wish I had known then, that was the apex of my career. Apex of a water chimp's career. Not seaweed, but a carrot, orangeness bursting from the brown soil. (End quote.)

Tales & Flukes from Life in the Trees, is the first in a four book series that depicts life at its flukiest. Each book is conceived as a fractal of the whole, and all are inspired by the author's colorful life, from his earliest impressions that led him to science and mathematics, to living in nature and environmental activism. In forty-two vignettes the author with humor and unabashed bravura brings us to his unique view of the post-modern world. This prequel to the manuscript that won the prestigious Over-all Best Piece at the Maui Writers Conference of 1994 is a pleasure to hold. 286 pages in a comfortable soft bound 8 x10 inch format with brilliant glossy cover, the book is artfully designed and graced with many color photos, poems, and paintings. Whimsical. Poignant. Outrageous. Child-like. Profound. Free. Slightly risqué. Humane. Inspired by Nature.
The serial killers Charlie spent her life researching staged a prison break and Charlie finds herself a hostage with some of the countries most ruthless killers.
Once the prison break takes place, this story is simply non-stop suspense and very entertaining. It also gives students practice putting answers into the GED answer grid. Two books by Mark Waldman include Hendrix's work and are also great: THE ART OF STAYING TOGETHER, and LOVE GAMES (I got to see a prepublication proof - it won't be in the bookstores till January 2000).. At times her characters seem to have stepped right out of a 1990s' TV episode of "In Living Color." She writes humor well, but she does human emotion and thought even better.
MR. Besides offering solace for a sinking heart, the cabin served as a haven for friends near and far and a gathering spot for holiday parties, late-night conversations, and early morning skinny dips. As part of a socialist plot to neutralize Roark, his revolutionary
