PATRICIA NELSON LIMERICK
Tuesday, April 11, 7:30 p.m.
In Something in the Soil:
Legacies and Reckonings in the New West (WW
Norton, $27.95), PATRICIA NELSON LIMERICK
continues the project she began with The
Legacy of Conquest, traveling far outside the
usual academic circles in order to bring past and
present into a spirited encounter. Limerick
operates on the principle that history is an
active presence in the West today – layers
of collective memory that are quite literally,
“something in the soil.”

DAN
BAUM
Wednesday, April 12, 7:30 p.m.
With enough private dramas to put
them on par with the Ewings of Dallas, and enough
business crises to keep them constantly in the
business hot seat, the ultra-right-wing Coors
family represents one of the more riveting family
sagas of our time. In Citizen Coors: An
American Dynasty (Wm. Morrow, $27.00), DAN
BAUM captures the eccentricity and foibles
of the family and company in this fast-paced tale
of vivid characters of business and politics.

At the center of the Buddhist
tradition is the enigmatic vision of the sublime
upon which the Buddha was to achieve his own
enlightenment. In Verses from the Center (Riverhead,

vision, one of the most difficult, intriguing,
and paradoxical expressions of human thought. He
also provides readers with translations of the
most important poems written on the subject:
those of second century monk Nagarjuna.

NEW RELEASE WE RECOMMEND
GREAT EASTERN
SUN: The Wisdom of Shambhala
By Chogyam Trungpa
The journey that began in Shambhala: The Sacred
Path of the Warrior reaches a new level of intimacy and
depth in this book, based on talks Chogyam
Trungpa gave in the last ten years of his life.
Trungpa possessed uncanny
insight into our deepest fears, and how these are
heightened by the pressures of today’s
society. He addresses many of them here: the
speed and alienation of modern life: depression;
materialism; aggression, anger, and anxiety; and
a crippling lack of self-worth.
Trungpa also held an
unshakable belief in human goodness and our
ability to create an enlightened human society.
His most ardent message is that each of us is a
genuine and powerful individual who can help this
world. Throughout the book, he evokes the image
of a spark or dot of goodness that is always
available to us – the fuse for igniting
warriorship in our lives. In every line of this
extraordinary and uplifting work, he challenges
us to embrace life and to find the Great Eastern
Sun, the spark of sacredness and health in every
moment.
- CHOGYAM TRUNGPA
– meditation master, scholar, and artist
– founded the Naropa Institute;
Shambhala Training; and Shambhala
International, an association of meditation
centers. His other books include Cutting Through
Spiritual Materialism, The Myth of Freedom, and Meditation in Action.
| How
Can You Tell An Independent Book Store
From A Chain? INDEPENDENTS HAVE BOOK
SENSE
|
 |
Passion. Knowledge.
Personality. Community Involvement. That's what
it means to have Book Sense and
that's why Boulder Book Store has joined with
thousands of independents around the country to
make our customers more aware of the dedication
and diversity you can find by avoiding cookie
cutter chains and seeking out independent
businesses.
Book Sense
is, in part, a marketing campaign (designed by
those very smart "Got Milk?" people) to
promote awareness of independents. You can now
see the Book Sense logo in the windows of your
favorite local book stores. Plus, when you're
traveling, you'll be able to seek out new
independents that really reflect their local
culture.
Look for the bi-monthly
Book Sense newsletter, as well
as our Book Sense Bestseller
display at the Boulder Book Store. You can also
purchase Book Sense gift
certificates, which are good at more than 1,100
Book Sense stores across the country!
