Shamanism or just plain sham — this comes out of the same box of poxes as Steiger's Atlantis Rising, Know the Future Today and UFO Breakthrough, gussied up with a few beads and feathers from four (and that's a magic number) Amerindian Medicine persons. Here for the first time (?) the teachings of Twylah Nitsch reveal the legend of the Seven Worlds of the Seneca (a kind of cosmic reincarnation cycle) and Dallas Chief Eagle explains the deep wisdom of the sacred White Buffalo Spirit. Sun Bear (whose white wife got into Indianology via Berkeley, the New Left, Gurdjieff and Sufism) catalogues a definitive survival guide to prepare for the Great Purification (another facet of the Coming Credit Collapse?) when anarchy will be loosed upon the world, the floor of the Mediterranean will rise and our Space Brothers from the UFO's will preserve only the most highly evolved spirits among us. As they say down on the reservation, watch where you step.

Stricter than, say, Bergen Evans or W3 ("disinterested" means impartial — period), Strunk is in the last analysis...
Privately published by Strunk of Cornell in 1918 and revised by his student E. B. White in 1959, that "little book" is back again with more White updatings.
Stricter than, say, Bergen Evans or W3 ("disinterested" means impartial — period), Strunk is in the last analysis (whoops — "A bankrupt expression") a unique guide (which means "without like or equal").Pub Date: May 15, 1972

This is not the Nutcracker sweet, as passed on by Tchaikovsky and Marius Petipa. No, this is the original Hoffmann tale of 1816, in which the froth of Christmas revelry occasionally parts to let the dark underside of childhood fantasies and fears peek through. The boundaries between dream and reality fade, just as Godfather Drosselmeier, the Nutcracker's creator, is seen as alternately sinister and jolly. And Italian artist Roberto Innocenti gives an errily realistic air to Marie's dreams, in richly detailed illustrations touched by a mysterious light. A beautiful version of this classic tale, which will captivate adults and children alike. (Nutcracker; $35.00; Oct. 28, 1996; 136 pp.; 0-15-100227-4)
