Paperback. Zustand: Good. Beloved and critically acclaimed author Lin Jensen returns with this bounteous volume exploring what the poet Gerard Manley Hopkins calls deep down things. Richly informed by deep ecology, Lin's writing explores our intimate connection to the land, to the specificities of place, and to the living earth itself-all as Lin uncovers our own deepest nature, the true heart of what it means to be human. There is much in what's happening in our environment now that can and perhaps should be cause for dismay - and Deep Down Things looks squarely at all of this and nonetheless gives us ample cause for celebration.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. What would happen if, instead of bolting your doors against the intrusion of demons you invited them in? Bad Dog is a vivid testament to the unforeseen love, beauty, and redemption discovered in the most difficult times and places. It reads like a collection of closely linked short stories (think JD Salinger) but is in fact a work of literary nonfiction (think Robert Fulgham, or Augusten Burroughs). Bad Dog will appeal to anyone who has fallen into dark places and wants to climb back into the light. With quietly crafted poetic language of a quality rarely seen in spiritual books, Lin Jensen tells the stories of his remarkably difficult life: his tumultuous early years on a struggling Midwestern turkey farm, his failed marriage, and the search for meaning that led him eventually to become a Zen teacher. The raw and earthy lessons of Bad Dog cut to the quick with an understated power, and the reader is left at the end of each chapter subtly transformed, able to reflect more deeply and more fruitfully on the struggles of our own lives. Lin Jensen's writing has rare poetic and literary merit. Lin Jensen received the Best Nonfiction/Spiritual Book award from Today's Librarian for his previous book, Uncovering the Wisdom of the Heartmind. He has taught writing in various colleges and universities for over twenty years, and continues to teach Buddhist ethics and practices at Chico State University. He is the founding teacher and senior teacher emeritus of the Chico Zen Sangha, in Chico, California, where he lives with his wife.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Parents worry about when to start teaching their kids about sex. Few received an adequate sex education from their own parents and being faced with it now can feel overwhelming. This book is the first of its kind to teach parents how to prepare themselves to meet the challenge. The author, a long-time sex educator, therapist, and researcher, knows the pain that many parents experience. Accordingly, she has developed a 9-step program to take them through this process. Each step provides brief information and practical exercises that guide parents into becoming the definitive sex educator in their child's world. The exercises help them develop a much fuller understanding of when, where, and how their own attitudes and beliefs developed as well as clarifying what their values are. Advice and techniques for self-calming are included to help parents ease their anxiety about having sex conversations with their child. The author also demonstrates ways for parents to raise the effectiveness of their communication skills and parental teamwork to a much higher level. Project Parent: Preparing Yourself for Your Child's Sex Education doesn't stint on the nuts-and-bolts information. Readers will learn when topics are age appropriate, general resources for expanding their own sex education, and guidance on how to inform the other people in their child's life about their wishes regarding their child's upbringing. These covers members of extended and blended families, medical and school personnel, childcare or foster-care settings, and religious communities. In addition, the author gives information and resources for a long list of specific child-rearing challenges: medical problems, mental illness, past sexual or physical abuse, and children who are gender diverse, questioning WHAT DO YOU MEAN?, or transgender, deaf, blind, or on the autism spectrum. Parents can't just get over their anxieties, fear, or worries about their child's sex education. They need information and insight and this is the book that will give them that.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Awakening to histories personal and social, Conversation Among Stones is a meditation on memory and identity. Through fields of wild grass, restless seascapes, and cities tinged with sand, Willie Lin's debut collection of poetry questions what can remain and what must be pared away in our search for truth.

With striking restraint and simultaneous abundance, these poems attempt to reconcile the desire for answers with the necessity of not knowing.Turn by turn, this collection catalogs moments of approach, fervor, and strife and carries us into a profound quest for understanding: ?And that was one conviction: / that we must be to one another / what the world is not / to us..…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. There's a war on--and Lin Jensen isn't gonna take it standing up. In 36 riveting scenes, Pavement shows how the Buddhist perspective can help us all, even in the toughest times. Every day, Lin Jensen has gone down to the center of his small town of Chico, California, plopped down a meditation cushion, and sat peace vigils in protest of the US invasion of Iraq--his honest effort to change the world. From his knee-level spot on the pavement, he has encountered a wonderful array of what Lin calls uprights: a heart-breakingly generous homeless man who offers Lin his only possession; hostile passers-by who shout F@#k you, Peace Wimp ; White Wolf, who punctuates every comment (always shouted ) with a sharp poke to Lin's chest; compassionate soldiers; and more--all amid rain and bright sun, exhaust fumes, and the scent of azaleas. Jensen, the author who so moved readers with his acclaimed memoir Bad Dog , here shares what sidewalk-dwelling has taught him about humility, generosity, and what it really means to love our neighbors. It's inspiring, good-humored reading--especially for anyone who might work or wish for change but doesn't want to be just spitting into the wind. …
