&ldquo;For those who operate within the carceral complex, this book is an important read. For those who seek to better understand the complicated ways in which religion and incarceration mingle, it is a required read.&rdquo;&mdash;The New York Journal of Books&ldquo;Erzen is a talented writer whose prose is accessible and easy to digest, and she never dodges the complexities and rigor of her subject. This is an enlightening and unflinching examination of the tragedies of mass incarceration and the complicated role that faith-based ministries play in prisoner rehabilitation and the beliefs around it.&rdquo;&mdash;Publishers Weekly, Starred Review&ldquo;Tanya Erzen&rsquo;s writing shines light on the history of American prisons, on the role of religion within these desolate locales, and also on the lives lived by the prisoners she profiles. Her work is both illuminating and deeply, intimately, human, exploring the impossible situations lived in by hundreds of thousands of our fellow citizens, and the ways that people try to salvage something out of the most soul-destroying environments imaginable. In an era of brutality, Erzen&rsquo;s empathic voice is needed more than ever.&rdquo;&mdash;Sasha Abramsky, author of The American Way of Poverty&ldquo;Tanya Erzen&rsquo;s God in Captivity offers an exceptionally nuanced and often heartbreaking picture of the role religion plays in the US prison system, both today and from its founding. As Erzen writes, the escape from brutalization that prison ministries provide can be, simultaneously, a lifeline for people attempting to wrest back a portion of their humanity, and state-sanctioned bigotry; a new chance at family for those who&rsquo;ve been disowned, and a biased system that methodically shepherds desperate inmates into the most restrictive of faiths; and the offer of inner freedom in a purgatory without parole, and the sanctification of a deeply racist system descended directly from slavery. In prison, as in the outside world, all of these things are true at once, and it takes empathy, integrity, and skill to give them full voice. An important book for our times.&rdquo;&mdash;Kathryn Joyce, author of The Child Catchers and Quiverfull

&ldquo;If Guru Rinpoche is the sun, then without any doubt, Yesh&eacute; Tsogyal is the sun&rsquo;s rays.&rdquo; &mdash;Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse &#160; &ldquo;This is an inspiring sacred text from the spiritual point of view. . . It shows that, in the beginning, she confronted many challenges in her determination to cultivate bodhicitta, the burning desire to be enlightened for the sake of all living beings.&rdquo; &mdash;Anam Thubten Rinpoche &#160; &ldquo;In this degenerate age of aggression and fear, the Secret Biography promises us that the Mother of the Victorious Ones is always available with her enduring faith, her quiet courage, and her unfailing compassion.&rdquo; &mdash;Acharya Judith Simmer-Brown

From the reviews:“This remarkable book is the first of two volumes that represent the fruit over 40 years work by Fritz Schweingruber on the stem anatomy of dicotyledonous herbs, shrubs and trees. … In summary, the Atlas of Stem Anatomy in Herbs, Shrubs and Trees is an important new contribution to our knowledge of stem anatomy, and particularly to our knowledge of the occurrence of secondary growth in so-called herbaceous plants.” (Bruce Kirchoff, Plant Science Bulletin, Vol. 57 (3), Fall, 2011)“This is a stunning book, laden with top-quality colour photographs of both whole plants and photomicrographs. … a reference book and source of inspiration it should be on the shelf of any plant science institution’s library.” (Barry Meatyard, The Biologist, Vol. 59 (1), March, 2012)

"A work of genuine literary merit . . . What Mr. Kesey has done in his unusual novel is to transform the plight of a ward of inmates in a mental hospital into a glittering parable of good and evil."--The New York Times Book Review"[A] brilliant first novel . . . a strong, warm story about the nature of human good and evil . . . Keysey has made his book a roar of protest against middlebrow society's Rules and the invisible Rulers who enforce them."--Time"The final triumph of these men at the cost of a terrifying sacrifice should send chills down any reader's back. . . . This novel's scenes have the liveliness&#160;of a motion picture."--The Washington Post"An outstanding book . . . [Kesey's] characters are original and real. . . . This is a tirade against the increasing controls over man and his mind, yet the author never gets on a soap box. Nor does he forget that there is a thin line between tragedy and comedy."--Houston Chronicle&#160;
