The Healing Path of Yoga (Three Rivers Press, $17.00) is the first book to unite the physical and spiritual aspects of yoga into one extraordinary program. It presents yoga in an entirely different light - not simply as a workout but as a lifestyle with the power to rejuvenate and heal. NISCHALA JOY DEVI shares years of insight into the healthful benefits of the discipline to show how yoga can help prevent disease and stress in relatively healthy people.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

DR. MICHAEL ABRAMS
Tuesday, July 11, 7:30 p.m.

For years, emergency and trauma physician DR. MICHAEL ABRAMS saw his patients dying in every conceivable way. In time he began to wonder if there was anything he could do to help the souls of the dying make the transition into the next world. Extending himself to the dying in a silent communion, he made a life-changing discovery: as he spoke to the departing souls of his patients, he began to sense that they were somehow speaking back to him. The Evolution Angel (Abundance Media, $12.95) tells the story of this astounding discovery.

LOUISE PLATT HAUCK
Wednesday, July 12, 7:30 p.m.

Through detailed first-person accounts from those who have experienced it, LOUISE PLATT HAUCK shows that communication can endure beyond life as we know it. Heart-Links (Council Oak Books, $21.95) shows us how to open our own perceptions and to recognize messages from our lost loved ones, whether subtle or obvious, on our own. It is directly focused on the positive, inspiring effect on the living of this ongoing soul connection.

Heart-Links

SANIEL BONDER
Thursday, July 13, 7:30 p.m.

For thousands of years, some of humanity’s most creative and inspired individuals have dedicated themselves to attempts to “wake up”. SANIEL BONDER describes another kind of self-awareness in Waking Down (Mt. Tam, $14.95). “Waking Down” makes both the living consciousness and the living body real, and real to one another, and real as one another. It exalts the living psyche, including every part of us that has been suppressed, devalued, marginalized, made wrong, condemned, vilified, or betrayed-whether by ourselves or by others.

STEVE JONES
Tuesday, July 18, 7:30 p.m.

The Last Prairie (McGraw-Hill, $19.95) is an extraordinary triumph of the essayist’s art. Each of the twenty chapters is a variation on the myriad interweaving themes of the Nebraska Sandhill’s natural, geologic, and human history. The prairie grasses, the Pawnee Indians, the locust plagues, the sandhill cranes, the killing blizzard of 1888, the mating dance of the fireflies, the last desperate holdout winter of the Northern Cheyennes: STEVE JONES has blended them into a grand movement that sweeps us over a landscape of ghosts and haunting beauty.

KATHLEEN O’NEAL GEAR & W. MICHAEL GEAR
Monday, July 24, 7:30 p.m.

Continuing the well-received Anasazi Mystery Series that began with The Visitant, KATHLEEN O’NEAL GEAR & W. MICHAEL GEAR return again to a real archeological site for The Summoning God (Forge Books, $25.95), the story of an archeologist’s discovery of the burned bodies of thirty-three children and two adults in a ceremonial chamber dating back to 1263 A.D., and his investigation into the circumstances of their deaths.

The Visitant ($ 6.99)

BOBBY McGEE
Tuesday, July 25, 7:30 p.m.

According to Olympic coach and author BOBBY McGEE, fitness without the right attitude will not bring running satisfaction. Performance and fulfillment lie in the way a runner perceives and thinks. In Magical Running (Bobbysez Pub., $17.95), McGee presents twelve key areas through which runners of all abilities learn about mental programming and are guided in the design of their own mental skills. Through this program you will be able to increase both your physical performance and the satisfaction you experience from your running.

JOHN DOUILLARD
Wednesday, July 26, 7:30 p.m.

For years, the debate over high-protein, low-fat, and high-carb diets has confused many Americans. Each new diet solution is backed by scientific research indicating that it is the best and only way to lose weight. But how can they all be right? According to JOHN DOUILLARD in The 3-Season Diet (Harmony, $23.00), each of the diets is only effective in the appropriate season as designed by nature: low fat in the spring, high carbohydrates in the summer, and high fat (protein) in the winter.

JANET LUHRS
Thursday, July 27, 7:30 p.m.

In Simple Loving (Arkana, $15.95), JANET LUHRS outlines ten ways in which we can strengthen our relationships at every stage (whether a first date or a fortieth wedding anniversary) and help them endure over time. Filled with practical strategies, real-life stories, wise quotes, and a wide variety of suggested resources, it is a sourcebook of inspiration and practice for the art of simple loving-the art of remembering, and focusing on, what really matters.

CHILDREN’S SUMMER READING PROGRAM

Boulder Book Store has teamed up with Ben & Jerry’s in Boulder to bring elementary school aged children (grades 1-5) our SUMMER READING PROGRAM!

Here’s how it works:

1. Register with the children’s room bookseller and get a membership card.
2. Read an age-appropriate chapter book (no picture books, please)
3. Write a short (50-100 word) book report and turn it in to get a stamp on your membership card, and a certificate for a free Ben & Jerry’s ice cream cone!

We will post the best reports in the store, and use them as recommendations for other children of the same age. Books need not be purchased at Boulder Book Store. The program will run from June 1 through August 30, 2000.

*NOTE: If you puchase this title through our website, due to a database problem the ISBN for the book will show on your order without title or price information. The price will also not be added to the total purchase. We will fill your order as usual, and we are sorry for any confusion. (Click the back button on your browser to return to where you were.)
