An Uncommon Life: Surviving The Loss Of A Gifted Child by Merry Rosenfield. The Magic Zoo,Inc., P.O. Box 1116, Clearwater, FL. 33757. merry@merryrosenfield.com. http://www.merryrosenfield.com
"“Cedar was beautiful, multi-talented and extraordinarily funny. I anticipated sharing her life for years, eventually growing old and cantankerous under her watchful eye.” "An Uncommon Life: Surviving the Loss of a Gifted Child" details the upbringing of young artist Cedar Rosenfield. From traveling across the country with her family in a laundry van as a toddler, to experience in drawing, dance, writing and theatre as a home-schooled child, Cedar’s life sprang from the fertile soil of a loving family. In 1999, Cedar and her family learned of a heart condition that could suddenly take her life. But Cedar was unstoppable. The year before she passed away her screenplay was honored as a semi-finalist in HBO’s first Project Greenlight contest, she appeared as an actress in two independent films and created a children’s book. Merry Rosenfield’s sensitive writing style combined with her daughter’s beautifully executed and often humorous illustrations creates a profoundly enjoyable read. "An Uncommon Life" is a touching window into the bond among a family of creative people forced to deal with unthinkable tragedy. It details how their individual spirits eventually triumph over grief—a powerful reminder that joyful lives can be rebuilt after an occurrence of devastating loss. "

Written in The Stars: Ancient Zodiac Mosaics by Lester Ness. #3 Coburn Hill Road, Warren Center PA 18851-0065. gosline@egypt.net. http://shangri-la.0catch.com
" Have you ever looked up at the stars on a clear night and wondered about them? One need not believe in astrology to see that others believe(d) and act(ed) on their belief. As Bouche-Leclercq says, "it is not a waste of time to study how others have wasted their time." Dr. Lester Ness has devoted his academic career to the study of ancient astrology. He is a leading scholar in his field. The goal of this particular work is to solve why zodiac mosaics appear in Israeli synagogues. More broadly, it explains how and why Hellenic Jews used astrology. This volume explores origins of synagogue mosaics and provides useful information concerning astrology around the world. This book also provides a guide to the history of astrology; nearly unique, of the thousands of titles published each year on astrology, few are concerned with astrological history. The common reference works on occult practices are not reliable for history. Beginning with research the author did on his doctoral dissertation, zodiac mosaics found in ancient Israeli synagogues, it then reflects interests in religious and artistic aspects of astrology; culminating with a reference work aimed at students and educated lay folk alike.

""Xenopilia" (the love of things foreign or different) was created with a ballpoint pen as the author-artist backpacked through England, India, Kashmir, and Nepal. While the images reflect the places in which they were drawn, the trip itself was inspired by simple necessity... These 100 images appear as they did in the original sketchbook, drawn from front to back and then back to front again, in ballpoint pen. The original has survived monsoons, sand, revolutions, monkeys, and spillage before languishing on [the author's] bookshelf for over a year. Readers' Comments: "Incredibly powerful and moving..." "...the feel of authenticity and spiritual truth..." "...an incredible piece of work." "Powerful stuff." First Edition 3,000 copies 1-877-250-BOOK (2665) Toll-free ordering"
