Last stop on this ride for me.......2007-08-01

First, you need to know what you're dealing with in this series. Goodkind is an Objectivist (hence, the Sword of Truth), which means he's a disciple of Ayn Rand and the Objectivist movement she started. There's nothing right or wrong with that in and of itself, but his politics suffuses his writing more than any other fantasist writing in the 700+ volume/multivolume series aspect of the genre. The political backdrop is mild in book one, a little stronger in book two and really gets brought to the fore in book three.

Temple of the Winds was the stop point for me with the Goodkind series and not because of his politics. The first two books were solid adventures, the third added intrigue with the rise of the Imperial Order and the war against a foe only Richard could truly see. But this one was interminable: lengthy dialogues more appropriate for a therapy session with a tough psychiatrist, a maudlin self-flagellating relationship between Richard and Kahlan, a protagonist whose self-pity reaches preposterous proportions, and revelations at the end that were basically obvious throughout the book. Once it became obvious to me that Goodkind was not advancing the story and was merely writing a bunch of morality tales before the finale of the series (which now runs more than 10 books long), I decided to cut my losses.

No regrets.

Just Could Not Finish It.......2007-07-27

I read the first three novels in the series and they were entertaining. But, I just could not get through this book and about halfway through I put it down to read something else. Will I ever finish it? Probably not. I just do not care about the neverending soap opera of Richard and his friends anymore. Maybe you can finish it, others surely like it, but I think at least for the foreseeable future I am done with the series.

A Little Too Weird.......2007-06-09

Goodkind seems to be in more of a killing mood with each subsequent book. Death, death, death seems to be the theme. There is plague killing thousands, Richards 1/2 brother torturing and raping women to death, plus all of the slashing Richard, Kahlan, and Cara do. Not only is there more killing, Goodkind goes into detail to describe the suffering deaths of children, and women. OK we know the Imperial Order is Evil now, can we get on with the story.

Unfortunately, the same theme of Richard and Kahlan being pulled apart and then questioning their love for each other really gets tiresome in this one. When they end up making love to each other with Kahlan believing that she is making love to Richard's evil brother it is just too unbelievable (not to mention kinky)! Give me a break.

Nadine has to be the most annoying character ever. Richard should have sliced and diced her after about a minute of meeting her again. Richard's 1/2 brother did us all a favor by killing her......he is the hero of this book IMO.

It is also a little tiresome to always have Richard suddenly realize the answer to the puzzle at the end of the book and then miraculously pull his tail out of the fire at the last second.

For me this was the worst book so far in the series.

Goodness........2007-04-28

I am well versed in all things fantasy. You name it - rare or popular - I have probably read and/or watched it. I will let nothing get in the way of my search for the most entertaining, enlightening, life-complimenting reads... not even biased readers whose only goal in life seems to be nitpicking instead of enjoying the things they read. (You can find a few of their reviews here. Look for the reviews with 1-3 stars.)

An overwhelming number of readers criticize Goodkind's writing in the Sword of Truth series, using the phrases "cliche" and "cookie-cutter" all too often. How funny. "Cookie-cutter" is itself a painfully cliche phrase. This hypocrisy, to me, is grounds enough to mistrust the opinions of those naysayers...

As I said, I know a thing or two about fantasy. Few books have affected me as deeply as the Sword of Truth series. Heck, I haven't written an Amazon review in years; I'm only here now because I'm offended at the negative reviews. I took it personally. That's how much I love this series.

The Sword of Truth books are a celebration of life. Beauty. Progress. Emotions. Pessimistic readers seeking a cookie-cutter pattern will surely find one, because Goodkind DOES have a trademark approach to building tension that he uses often. But I know better than to call that "cliche." In each book, Goodkind explores different facets of the concepts of life, beauty, progress, and emotions. He NEVER explores the same facet; he always throws in a twist.

Reading each of these books is like cheese tasting. A cheese-lover with a refined sense of taste will delight in the worlds of difference between blue cheese and brie and baby swiss. They will compare; they will savor every bite.

But someone who is not accustomed to cheese... will, upon trying blue cheese, think "this smells like feet." Then they will try swiss cheese, hoping it doesn't smell like feet. Then feta. Alas, cheese usually smells like feet. The pessimists will then proceed to the donut and snack food aisles, looking for just the right junk food to ease their craving; nothing more, nothing fulfulling in the long run.

Fantasy connoisseurs adore Goodkind. Yet average readers find numerous things to complain about. Contemplate this for a bit.

I'm sorry for not going into detail about this book, but in one sentence I will help you decide if this series is right for you:

If you *adore* any of the concepts of life, beauty, progress, and emotions... you will love the Sword of Truth books. I promise you.

good sequel.......2007-04-04

The series continues to be enjoyable to read, with great characters and well-paced, although I am finding the prophecy plot convention a little tired by book 4.

Amazon.com's Best of 2001

The greatest fantasies of the 20th century are J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings and Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea Cycle. Regrettably, the Earthsea Cycle has not received the fame and sales of Tolkien's trilogy. Fortunately, new Earthsea books have appeared in the 21st century, and they are as powerful, beautiful, and imaginative as the first four novels. The fifth novel and sixth book of the Earthsea Cycle is The Other Wind.

The sorcerer Alder has the power of mending, but it may have become the power of destruction: every night he dreams of the wall between the land of the living and the land of the dead, and the wall is being dismantled. If the wall is breached, the dead will invade Earthsea. Ged, once Archmage of Earthsea, sends Alder to King Lebannen. Now Alder and the king must join with a burned woman, a wizard of forbidden lore, and a being who is woman and dragon both, in an impossible quest to save Earthsea.

Ursula K. Le Guin has received the National Book Award, five Nebula and five Hugo Awards, and the Newbery Award, among many other honors. The Other Wind lives up to expectations for one of the greatest fantasy cycles. --Cynthia Ward

Another overrated and dreary sequel to an otherwise wonderful trilogy.......2007-08-21

Although I'm a big fan of the first three books of the Earthsea series, I think that this latest book (as was the case with Tehanu), was both overrated and underwhelming. It weighed in at just over 200 pages, which is somewhat anemic, and the book plods along at a slow pace ... and is unfortunately somewhat dreary and predictable.

IMHO, this series should have remained the trilogy that the author first envisioned it as ... books 4 and 5 are just anemic tack-on stories that lack the magesty and wonder of the original three books. There's neither wonder, nor savor, in these latest offerings. I found book 5 to be somewhat more satisfying than book 4, but that's not saying much, because I didn't really care for book 4.

Kudos to the authoress for typing up a philosophical loose end regarding the concept of death and afterlife in her world ... but she could, and should, have covered the same material by combining books 4&5, pulling a plot comb through it, and getting the combined book down to 300 pages.

Slow with an Incomprehensible ending.......2007-04-10

Let me preface this with my Earthsea background. I read the first 3 books when I was young and loved them. Then did them again on audio a couple years ago and enjoyed the 1st and 3rd books but thought the 2nd one was slow. Then I read -Techanu- and thought it was more like an interlude with a plot added in at the end for good measure and seemed like an interlude. -Stories of Earthsea- was barely passable and now this -The Other Wind- left me with a final bad taste for a series I loved for a long time.

It was nice to hang out with some old friends (Ged, Tenar etc...) but at some point toward the end it started this downward spiral into incomprehensibility. There would be section I just didn't get but I'd just move on hoping that it would make sense later. It never did. When it ended I had no idea what had happened. Was it just too simple? I do see a lot of reviewers saying that the ending was predictable. I don't even know who was still alive at the end. It seemed like a bunch of snippets of action that never got resolved. Was it some type of literary experiment?

I'm not sure, but my final stance on Earthsea is: Read the first 3 books and pretend the others don't even exist.

Its hard to imagine a better book than this.......2007-03-06

I first read the Earthsea books over a quarter century ago...and just recently re-read them all, so as to be able to appreciate Tales From Earthsea and The Other Wind. This last book and this series is on a par with the great works of Tolkien and CS Lewis. The story is told forcefully and yet gently...allowing to reader to discover the inner story at their own pace. Having taken over a week end finish the last 50 pages so that I could savour it, I am both joyful at the conclusion and sad that its done.

Fantasy at its best.......2006-06-18

The Other Wind is the best fantasy novel I have read in many years, as good as anything LeGuin has written. It is both an enjoyable story and a profound meditation on life and death, and the writing is beautiful. Read it.

A Complex, Profound Scope Within A Simple Story.......2005-09-23

How can one quite define or put one's finger on the essence of a Le Guin book - particularly an Earthsea one? I'll tell you one thing, I have not even read all of the stories and have even 'skipped' some according to the true, written sequence but I have come to realize that each book has a special quality unto itself WITHIN the greater, Earthsea context and that each stands on its own as a result. Le Guin does not 'pen stories' to fill out narrative time-lines; she writes each book for a purpose - something she wants to convey to her readers. When a writer does that, the story can become a part of the reader's experience of life. After 'Tombs of Atuan' - which gripped me for its intense HUMANITY in the midst of all its fantasy when I first read it 17 years ago - could we expect Le Guin to abandon Tenar just as she regained her true identity once more, whether Ged was the hero of Earthsea or not? Thus was born Tehanu.
In 'The Other Wind', Le Guin sets out to fulfill the destinies of Tenar, Ged, Therru/Tehanu, and even Earthsea itself. A tall task? Yes. There WERE moments in the book that I felt Le Guin was 'cheating' or skimming, not wanting to get as involved in these deep matters as her own premise seemed to demand. We have a simple mender of pots who dreams of his recently deceased wife calling and reaching to him from beyond the low stone wall which separates the living realm from the dead one. The fabric of the Equilibrium between the two and between the realms of dragons and men is threatened and all Earthsea is in danger of oblivion unless it is restored. In a last desperate journey, King Lebannen travels with a motley coterie of disparate individuals (including Tenar, Tehanu, Alder the pot mender, the dragon-turned-woman Irian, and a mysterious Kargish princess) who represent all lands and creatures of Earthsea to Roke Island and the Immanent Grove in order to reach the 'stone wall' - and tear it down.
And in the healing of Earthsea, Tenar lets go of her grown daughter (Tehanu) whom she can no longer protect, Lebannen bridges his lands with those of the Kargs through marrying the princess, Alder goes to forever join his wife, and Ged truly finds happiness with a returning Tenar.
A special note on Tehanu, whose name-sake book you spend reading in its entirety in an attempt to fully grasp her true self and powers. THIS book sees this scarred, quiet girl grown into a young woman who finds herself at last - and the reader will be both nodding and fully satisfied with what she discovers about herself.
The scope of this book could be argued to be too vast but having read it I find myself amazed that Le Guin could have dealt with it as well as she did and yet still have satisfied all of the 'human' sub-plots at the end. A true Earthsea fan will enjoy this book. A high action Fantasy junkie may have difficulty with it.

Book Description

From the solitary windmill standing sentry over a rural homestead to the sleek machinery of a modern wind farm, windmills are a powerful symbol of self-reliance and human ingenuity. Once the province of backyard tinkerers and eccentric inventors, they have over the past two decades entered the mainstream to be embraced by environmentalists, venture capitalists, and policymakers alike. But reaching that point wasn't easy.

In Reaping the Wind, journalist Peter Asmus tells the fascinating and convoluted history of commercial wind power in the United States. He introduces readers to maverick scientists and technologists who labored in obscurity, to entrepreneurs and visionary capitalists who believed that a centuries-old idea could be made feasible in the modern world, and to enterprising financial advisers and investors who sought to exploit the last great tax shelter in federal history. Beginning with the early pioneers, from William Heronemus, a former U.S. Navy captain who dreamt of huge floating wind farms off the coast of New England, to the $40 million success story of Jim Dehlsen of Zond, he offers an animated narrative that profiles the colorful cast of characters involved with the development of the American wind power industry.

Reaping the Wind is both engaging and instructive, with information about the technologies and policies that drive the industry and give it promise interwoven with the human story of the struggle to develop-against great odds-reliable, clean energy from a source as unpredictable and seemingly uncontrollable as the wind. Anyone interested in renewable energy or the human and political drama behind the development of new technologies will find the book an engrossing and enlightening read.

Reaping the Wind is a disapointing text !!!.......2006-06-23

I have read this book, because I am interested in the history of modern windmills, however I find it to be very disappointing for many reason. First of all, this book lacks structure and coherence. It is a collection of notes on 'windmills' that are not coherently structured. The book does not follow a chronological order, and there is no logical transition betwen the different sections of a chapter, or the various chapters. Secondly, several chapters of the book are off topic. For example, in one chapter Asmus describres the social atmosphere of a biker's gathering, with details about the origins of the biker movement... that is fine, except for the fact that the only reference to windmill the chapter makes, is to mention that the famous biker's bar where bikers in south california have met for decades is located near a wind farm. Thirdly, the book is not very informative about windmills. Peter Asmus has a few facts about windmills scattedred throughtout the numerous chapters of the book. After having completed the book I acquired lots of factual information on a variety of topics BUT windmills. Overall this book is poor and I do not recommend it.

Adequate overview of early windpower industry........2002-11-14

The author did a good job of explaining how the wind energy industry in America got it's start in California, the start-up troubles, and the key issues important to making wind energy a viable alternative energy source. On the downside, I thought the book included too much information, and sometimes left the reader wondering how certain sideline stories fit in with the rest of the book. There were so many people mentioned & referenced, that I couldn't keep up with who did what when.

A Blow-By-Blow Account Of Wind Engineering Pioneers.......2002-07-07

You've got to really want to know about the history of wind power to take on this book. The author does an exceptional job of chronicalling all the characters and woodsy folklore of the wind power industry for the last three decades or so. It's a narrow subject, but for anyone interested in how we got where we are in the field of renewable energy, this is it. (Why do they call it "renewable"? Forest products are renewable, but wind?). A couple of pictures would have been fun. By and large a very unique book.

How to Clean the Air and Reduce Energy Costs.......2001-02-25

Peter Asmus is a sensitive, and involved, observer of the 20-year struggle to make wind energy a valuable energy resource. This book describes the soaring victories and crashing defeats, with the personalities of the people adding more than enough color and life. Here are the words of one wind industry promoter who made the transition from dreamer to bank-financed developer without losing his pony-tail: "Kudos, and more kudos. You cut through all of our industry's bulls--t with wit and candor, and injected living, breathing humanity into a story of technology. Injecting your own personality, as well. Despite the obvious that no one can ever tell the true story as it happened, you have done a remarkable job in bringing the wind industry's evolution to life, and the future of American, no, global, society, rests in your readers' understanding of the lessons from your brilliant history of our industry." Wind energy is now harnessed with modern machines in 23 states of the US. As we teeter on the edge of another energy crisis, this books describes what some people are doing about to improve the health and security of all people. The beauty of this book is its invitation for everyone to choose the direction for the future.

Product Description

In Latin American countries, herbal medicine is deeply rooted, and practiced extensively by a broad cross-section of the larger society. Often it is an economically inevitable alternative to expensive Western medicine. Andean societies have used plants for physical therapy and psychosomatic ailments for millennia. The use of hallucinogens, in particular the San Pedro cactus (Echinopsis pachanoi) is a vital component in Andean healing practices, and has been practiced for at least 2,000 years. Traditional knowledge is transmitted orally from one generation to the next by traditional healers, shamans or curanderos, and has survived the rigors of the Spanish conquest, the inquisition, and extensive mestizaje or racial intermixing. Southern Ecuador, famous for the valley of longevity around Vilcabamba, is among the areas with the highest biodiversity worldwide. A total of 215 species of medicinal plants are now on record. This bilingual illustrated field guide will hopefully help to keep the traditional knowledge in this area alive. Las sociedades andinas han usado las plantas pata la terapia física y para males psicosomáticos durente milenios. El uso de alucinógenos, en particular del cacto San Pedro (Echinopsis pachanoi) es un componente vital en la prácticas andinas y ha sido aplicado por al menos 2,000 años. Los conocimientos tradicionales se transmiten oralmente de una generación a la próxima por medio de yerbateros o curanderos shamánicos y han sobrevivido los golpes de la conquista española, la inquisición y el mestizaje extensivo. El sur de Ecuador, famoso por el valle de la longevidad de Vilcabamba, es uno de los lugares de biodiversidad más alta a nivel mundial y se documentó un total de 215 especies de plantas medicinales. Esperemos que esta guía bilingue ilustrada de usos de plantas medicinales en Ecuador Meridional ayude a mantener los conocimientos tradicionales en esta área.

Product Description

Northern Peru occupies the middle sector of the health axis of the Central Andean cultural area stretching from Bolivia to Ecuador. Few other places on the planet boast a medicinal flora as rich as this region. Archaeological evidence traces the use of plants in traditional healing and divination practices back at least 2,000 years. Five hundred years of suppression of traditional healing practices starting in colonial times and continuing to manifest in the prejudices of contemporary national administrations have not managed to destroy this tradition. The most serious threat to this millennial tradition is the destruction of plant habitats. Climatic change and deforestation are threatening the mountain forest systems that are the source of many medicinal species. Most importantly, the high Andean ecosystems and sacred lagoons are in danger of being destroyed by large-scale mining activities. This bilingual illustrated guide for 510 medicinal plants of Northern Peru and their uses will hopefully help to keep the extensive traditional knowledge of this area alive. Perú Septentrional ocupa el sector medio del eje de salud del área cultural Andes Centrales, extendiéndose desde Bolivia a Ecuador. Pocos lugares en el planeta tienen una flora médica tan rica como esta región. La evidencia arqueológica demuestra el uso de plantas en la Medicina Tradicional y para la divinización desde hace 2,000 años. Quinientos años de represión de prácticas curanderiles comenazado en la época colonial y continuando con los prejuicios de administraciones nacionales contemporáneas no han pododi deestruir esta tradición. La amenaza más seria a esta tradición milenaria es la destrucción de los hábitats. Esperamos que este libro bilingüe ilustrado de 510 especies de plantas medicinales usadas en el Perú Septentrional ayude a mantener vivo los extensivos conociemientos tradicionales del norte.

Valuable literary-historical resource.......2001-05-23

Ernest J. Moyne's Raising the Wind represents years of painstaking research into a trope of Western (and particularly English) literature - that of the Lapp (Sami) or Finn witch or wizard. As one who has studied the phenomenon in Scandinavian literature, it was amazing to me to discover how prevalent it was in English-language discourse. Although the text may not be an edge-of-the-seat, keep-you-up-all-night thriller, it is a substantial academic resource and should be read as such. Anyone researching constructions and representations of witchcraft, magic, the Wild Man, the Noble Savage, or the indigenous Other, ought to read and make use of this book.

Far too narrow of a book........2000-11-27

Raising the Wind is the life's work of Professor Ernest J. Moyne. Indeed, it was not published until after his death in 1976. This book is an exhaustive list of literary references to the use of strings or bags to generate winds throughout history. Many references are given to stories mentioning Manx strings, Scottish strings, Finnish strings and Lapp strings.

I found this to be a real boring book. I had hoped that this book might provide some stories about Finnish or Lapp wizards or folktales, but was profoundly disappointed. So, if you want a book mentioning (but not going into any depth) about the use of string to generate winds, then this book is for you. For anyone else, I would suggest that you don't bother with this book.
