This is both a disclaimer and a sort of review. I first found Eric's work in a book I was reviewing and fell in love with it. It looks like painting but is really--I don't know--retouched photos. I raved in the review and he wrote to thank me. I have written a couple of forewords for him since then. This book is my favorite of all he has designed. A little cut-out on the cover reveals the first photoart. From there it gets better because, though the content is inspirational, this book depends on the artwork to give a yoga practitioner a feel for the discipline.

Andrews McMeel does beautiful gift books, but this is one of their best.

5.0 out of 5 stars They risk it all for our Liberty and Freedom., March 19, 2007

This review is from: Support Our Troops: Quotations on Patriotism and Prayer (Hardcover)

It makes me feel really good when driving down the highway and seeing another car displaying a "Support our Troops" car magnet. It is amazing how quickly they spread across America and even some here in Canada.What also surprises me is that even more people don't have them. This is the first book I've come across on these and it has chosen to quote many famous people on Patriotism and Prayer.It shows tremendous support for the Troops and shines like a beacon for what makes America what it is. During this time when Evil forces are bent on the destruction of Liberty and Freedom,there is no greater target for them than America.Particularly during the last century,many times evil men,systems and countries have challenged Freedom and Liberty and it has been the Troops of free countries,led by America,and with the help and faith of God,that Freedom has prevailed.After reflecting on the quotations in this little book,you will be less bothered by much of what is being represented by the media,Leftist groups,secularists,anti-war demonstrations,cut and run and appeasement politics,political correctness,anti-christian agendae,and all other attempts to negate the ideals and patriotism that are the foundation of a free society.Everytime I see a person in uniform,I can't help but be thankful to them for serving on my behalf.
These thoughts may be a surprise coming from a Canadian. Unfortunately,Canada has drifted far to the left ,with 2/3 of the government,people and media becoming Liberal and Socialist. This has resulted in Canada leaning more to Europe and the weak and virtually useless United Nations to defend us while at the same time great increases in anti-Americanism and anti- Bush rhetoric. We have a few Troops in Afghanastan,but all to little for the threat that is upon us.As far as the rest of our support on the War on Terror is concerned,our involvement is pathetic.
I have been approached by people here in Canada who see my "Support Our Troops" with the stars and stripes,and they have commented;"What's with that sign,they're not "Our Troops"". I reply,"Maybe so,but they're protecting me too,and I for one appreciate it."
The review by Carolyn Howard -Johnson leaves me wondering .She talks about whether the artwork is paintings or photography.I don't see what she is getting at. My book has only simple drawings. There is no cut-out on the cover. My copy has a detachable car magnet ,same as the illustration .Carolyn seem very knowlegeable in publishing etc.;so either I don't get the points or there are different versions.
It is also commendable that "A portion of the profits from the sale of this book are being denoted to FISHER HOUSE. Gary Trudeau of Doonesbury fame has done likewise with two books.
