5/29/2023 0 Comments Tiger's Quest by Colleen HouckTiger’s Quest takes Kelsey back to India, this time on a journey with Kishan, the black tiger/younger Indian prince, and Mr. The beginning of Tiger’s Quest is hilarious. No magical curses to break here… But just when Kelsey starts to really get used to “normal” life again, Ren shows up at her door and is determined to make her see her errors that had me so flipping frustrated in the last book. Her head’s in a different place now that she’s back home in Oregon, attending college, and meeting other people. She’s had time to cool down from all the adventures in Book 1. Quest, the second book in Colleen Houck’s fantasy series, gets Kelsey back to her normal spunky self (for the most part she’s still annoying and stupid in some instances). Curse was illogical and Kelsey, the protagonist, was insufferable when she started feeling like she wasn’t good enough for Ren, her white tiger/Indian prince. Tiger’s Quest is such an improvement, considering how all-over-the-map the first book, Tiger’s Curse, was. Format: Paperback, 479 pages, Splinter, Sterling Pubishing Co., Inc., 2013. Read my review of Book #1, Tiger’s Curse, here.

How? Well, he is traveling away from them at high speed to the original place where his spaceship was supposed to go and due to the effects of hibernation, he lives longer. In it, there is a very sweet love story in which the characters cant be together for the rest of their lives, so she decides to have his son to remember him until her death, which she does, but the fact is that he outlives both of them. What is also special about this story is that it doesnt deal with sci-fi fantasies like galactic civilizations or tele-transportation and there is neither sex nor violence. Although the story deals with applied science, fantastic technologies, space travel, human colonies and their logistics, it also handles the emotions and feelings of the characters. This is a very humanistic science fiction story. When I first met him he was an electronics wizard with an interest in using sound and light to stimulate different types of brainwaves, particularly those associated with meditation (theta waves). His interest in the effects of sound and light started at the end of the 1970s and in those days was considered as ‘bio-feedback’. Sw Anadideva (aka Anadi Martel) was at the forefront of all this. Since that time, Light Therapy, of which Colorpuncture is just one aspect, has become an important area of research in the scientific and medical community, particularly in the last 20 years. But I soon took notice as more and more therapists started incorporating it into their work. It seemed to me another new age therapy looking for a market. Peter Mandel visited the Osho Resort in Pune, India. I first remember hearing about Light Therapy, in the form of Colorpuncture, in the early 1990s, when Dr. He turned our attention to pioneering studies by Adhemard Leclere and others that emphasized how religious meaning is produced in local linguistic and cultural contexts, as opposed to solely through a translocal Pali corpus. He pointed out that almost all European researchers of the period were engaged with local interlocutors, unacknowledged South and Southeast Asian scholars whose views gave shape to Western perceptions of Buddhism. By examining the divergent approaches of colonial-era European scholars of Buddhism in what is now Sri Lanka and mainland Southeast Asia, Hallisey demonstrated how those that swam against the Orientalist current were pushed to the edges of academic discourse. Charles Hallisey's influential 1995 essay, "Roads Taken and Not Taken in the Study of Theravada Buddhism," built on the concerns outlined by Collins and others to offer a bold reappraisal of the field and its nineteenth-century roots. 5/28/2023 0 Comments Bond by Piper ScottThat is until he witnesses his best friend lay eggs, and a third must-have strolls into his apartment - the sardonic and mischievous Everard Drake.Įverard Drake, celebrated doctor of the tremendously wealthy Drake family, has one goal in mind when he arrives at the scene of his youngest brother’s latest disaster: incinerate Harrison Lessardi.
