Early Poems (Dover Thrift Editions: Poetry)
by William Butler YeatsOne of the greatest poets of any century, the Nobel laureate William Butler Yeats (1865–1939) drew upon Irish folklore and myth as inspiration for much of his early poetry. Mythic themes as well as many other topics are masterfully explored in this rich selection of 134 lyrics chiefly selected from six volumes of verse published between 1889 and 1914. Among the poems included are "The Stolen Child" and "Down by the Salley Gardens" (Crossways, 1889); "To the Rose upon the Rood of Time," "The Lake Isle of Innisfree," "When You Are Old," and "To Ireland in the Coming Times" (The Rose, 1893); "The Song of Wandering Aengus" and "A Poet to His Beloved" (The Wind Among the Reeds, 1899); "The Song of Red Hanrahan" (In the Seven Woods, 1903); "No Second Troy" and "The Fascination of What's Difficult" (The Green Helmet and Other Poems, 1910); "To a Friend Whose Work Has Come to Nothing" and "To a Shade" (Responsibilities, 1914); and many more. This representative selection offers readers a splendid sampling of the distinctive Yeatsian voice — romantic, yearning, full of the magic and mysticism Yeats imbibed as a boy in the West of Ireland, later counterbalanced by an anguished realism grounded in the poet's nationalistic and political sympathies.

A calming tranquil gem, this small book offers a single Scripture upon which to meditate each day, and words of infinite wisdom and love that seem to flow from the Father's heart.Talking and listening. Speaking and hearing. These are the fundamental prerequisites for conversation. Yet with most of us, our relation with our heavenly Father consists mostly of our speaking. Our oldest traditions, however, tell us that we are invited to hear as well as to speak. "If any one hears my voice, and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me... He who has an ear to hear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches." (Revelation 3:20b, 22) From the "Introduction," Echoes of Eternity: Listening to the Father Volume 1 In Echoes of Eternity Volume I, Chaplain Hal Helms provides a maturity in his words as he offers perspective on each daily Bible Verse. These brief meditations were gathered by his wife from his faithful daily devotional practice. They have the power to fuel your own quiet moments. Helms has a tender manner of redirecting us back to our path of following Jesus.

EcoMind: Changing the Way We Think, to Create the World We Want
by Frances Moore LappeIn Eco Mind, Frances Moore Lappé-a giant of the environmental movement-confronts accepted wisdom of environmentalism. Drawing on the latest research from anthropology to neuroscience and her own field experience, she argues that the biggest challenge to human survival isn’t our fossil fuel dependency, melting glaciers, or other calamities. Rather, it’s our faulty way of thinking about these environmental crises that robs us of power. Lappé dismantles seven common "thought traps”-from limits to growth to the failings of democracy- that belie what we now know about nature, including our own, and offers contrasting "thought leaps” that reveal our hidden power. Like her Diet for a Small Planet classic, Eco Mind is challenging, controversial and empowering.
