Book Description
In striking contrast to conventional accounts, Pocahontas is a bold and daring biography that attempts to tell the extraordinary story of the beloved Indian maiden from the Native American perspective. Drawing from sources often overlooked by Western historians, Dr. Paula Gunn Allen offers remarkable new insights into the adventurous life and sacred role of this foremost American heroine.
We have all heard about the love-struck Pocahontas saving the dashing Captain John Smith from execution by the Chief of the Powhatans, but what if the whole event was a staged ritual of his death as a foreigner and his rebirth as an adopted member of the Powhatan Nation? Settlers at Jamestown report a young, cartwheeling Pocahontas frequently at their fort, but could the innocent-looking visitor actually have been a spy -- reporting back to her elders what she saw there? Was Pocahontas willingly kidnapped by the British settlers in exchange for corn and other ransom from her tribe, or was this a part of her more elaborate plan? We have been taught that this amazing woman was later baptized a Christian and married in the church at Jamestown, yet she helped her husband, John Rolfe, grow and export tobacco -- a powerful, indigenous herb to which the Native Americans attributed shamanic powers. Finally, the "Indian Princess," now known as Lady Rebecca Rolfe, traveled to England for an audience with King James I and Queen Anne. Was this a publicity stunt orchestrated by the English backers of the Virginia colony, or was Pocahontas fulfilling her role as a "Beloved Woman," an honor designated to a female of great spiritual power who was to be trained from birth in the diplomatic and political ways of her tribe?
Pocahontas became an extraordinary ambassador, forming groundbreaking relations between the Indians, the American colonists, and the British. Dr. Gunn Allen convincingly argues that through all of this, Pocahontas fulfilled a crucial and essential role in the birth of a New World. This stunning portrait presents the fascinating, untold story of one of the most romantic and beloved figures in American history, and reveals why so many have revered Pocahontas as the female counterpart to George Washington, the true "Mother of Our Nation."

Someone Needed Tenure - The Worst Book I Ever Got on Amazon.......2006-11-10
I don't ordinarily write reviews, but I feel the need to steer people away from spending money on this book! This was a horrible waste of money, and of time spent in reading the first third or so I read before I quit. Patricia Gunn Allen is not simply hooked on Political Correctness (which I could deal with). She substitutes it for decent scholarship and for writing ability. After the pointless detours into the legends of her own New Mexico Native American clan and 21st Century Physics, the attempt to relate the "myth" of Pochahontas to the Legend of one of the Kngihts of the Round Table (I think it was Gawain and the Green Knight, but I'm honestly not sure) did me in. I wanted to know something about Pocahotas -- the Woman! Or, as the title of the book says, the Medicine Woman, Spy, Entrepeneur and Diplomat! And that is what I could NOT glean from this book at all.
Poorly written...interesting material rendered boring.......2006-01-06
The feeling the book gave me was one of disjointed-ness, I couldn't fully submerge myself into the book because it didn't seem like the writer could decide how she wanted to present the material. It read like conjecture for a lot of it, with "could", "would have" , and it also read like a lecture given by a professor, at the same time, it was too conversational, and in all just poorly written. The material was interesting enough, and her conjectures intriguing, it was just the presentation that was faulty. It would also have been better if she could have given logic for her conjectures, as it is...she would have done better to have written the book as a fiction novel, and it would have carried better.
Rich, rewarding research and recounting from the intersection of multiple worlds........2005-12-14
Dr. Gunn Allen opens our eyes to the roots of modern American culture that are too often obscured, whether intentionally or not. A reader who approaches this work "in good faith" will be regaled with the astonishingly open, clear, and unique viewpoint she cultivates and communicates. She chooses to stand between two cultures and knowledgeably observe them interpenetrate--rather than take the customary political or religious stances of taking one "side" or another. Only a woman with a solid grounding in both cultures (and a tremendous ability to write beautifully), as Dr. Allen has, can accomplish in her work what she is also showing her readers historically. A discerning reader who is willing to admit--and agree to suspend--culturally-programmed judgment can come away from this book with a much richer, smarter, more beautiful and especially more genuinely compassionate sense of REAL purpose this country's citizens might choose to see in their ancestors' having come here, as well as in the direction they would really like this country to take NOW. In addition, I find that it is an honor (still and despite the rude and terrible behavior the English showed towards the interesting and knowledgeable people already living here) to be so respectfully invited into sharing indigenous views of this world, this land, and the Western Europeans who came here. On top of all of this, the book is a truly great read for most anyone who has an intellect that enjoys exercise, and a love of exploring and rediscovering the past in new ways.
A Triumph of Native Thought.......2005-07-18
It's true that Gunn Allen's work doesn't fit neatly into any of the normal western categories of biography or history, but then again she's not working within the western tradition to begin with. In order to appreciate what Gunn Allen has accomplished, you first must have a knowledge and appreciation of the Algonquian oral tradition, which embraces a wide range of Indian nations across most of the eastern half of North America, including the state of Virginia, where native communities persist to this day. To begin with the oral tradition, then, is to begin with living communities that still retain the memories of their historical ancestors, such as Pocahontas. From this perspective, as Gunn Allen demonstrates, the story of Pocahontas is less of a romance and more of an adventure, one in which the protagonist is an extension of women's roles and powers in the Powhatan Confederacy. As such, the story of Pocahontas is the story of Native America's fateful encounter with the European powers that would eventually--not annihilate them (though many died, particularly from disease)--but colonize, relocate, and oppress them. In the end, Gunn Allen's eloquent and insightful book is a potent reminder that it is the spirits, the manitou, who ultimately control the world. I highly recommend this book.
Shaky grasp of the facts.......2004-11-30
I hope her knowledge of American Indian culture is sounder than her grasp of English history. I spotted some howlers, several repeated in the text: King James "VII" of Scotland (make that James VI) was NOT Queen Elizabeth's nephew. Nor was Queen Elizabeth England's first Protestant monarch (the honours go to her brother Edward VI)
I could go on, but you get the idea ... Read this one with a heaping tablespoonful of salt

A Different Perspective on Pocohontas.......2007-04-22
Pocahontas Was a Tobacco Priestess
When I was a little boy, my grandmother told me that we were descendents of Pocahontas. The idea aroused my fantasies. Having Indian blood was a special blessing. It endowed me with certain spiritual qualities, psychic perceptiveness and magical abilities--in my imagination. Later I was disappointed to learn that it was fashionable among past generations to claim a blood tie to Pocahontas. I suspected my grandmother's story was of this origin. Much later I realized that a fascination with things Native American was a symptom of a certain affinity. I valued the Indian fantasy as a call of the wild from within. It was to be answered, but in my own, indigenous terms, not in terms borrowed from other cultures. I recently read a book that has added great depth to this perspective.
Pocahontas: Medicine woman, spy, entrepreneur, diplomat (HarperSanFrancisco), by Paula Gunn Allen, Ph.D., tells an entirely different history of this American icon than the one we cherish. This award winning author, retired professor from U.C.L.A., credited with originating Native American literary studies, has taken the usual sources, plus those rarely referred to, and re-interpreted the data within the context of the Native American mythical world view. The result is a fascinating account of the transformation of "Turtle Island" into "America the Beautiful."
Dr. Gunn Allen begins by explaining the spirit-centered worldview of the Native American at that time. The "manito aki," which pertains to the supernatural, paranormal, spirit inhabited world, was the Native American waking reality, more real to them than the physical world. We might say that they were good "Jungians" at that time, because they respected the experiences of the imagination as real and worthy of attention. The natives at that time also realized that their world was coming to an end. Their calendars and mythologies had prepared them. The coming of the white men was part of the fulfillment of this prophesy. Evidence points to the fact that Pocahontas was a high priestess, initiated into the mysteries of the spirit world and charged with responsibility to these spirits. Based upon her evidence, the author came to the startling conclusion that Pocahontas, rather than falling in love with Captain John Smith, was actually on a pre-planned mission taking advantage of him as an unwitting pawn. Her objective: to insure that the spirit of tobacco would find a home in the new world. Tobacco spirit, the essential shamanic power of the Native American world, needed to find a way to be a part of the coming materialistic world that was being born. This mission was crucial if the spirit of the Native world was to survive destruction of its manifest existence. Pocahontas was the channel by which the transfer of power was achieved. Pocahontas' connection with John Smith was the means by which Native spirituality was preserved, even though it would have to hide for centuries within a plant that would be marketed, traded, consumed, and vilified within a purely materialistic consciousness, until such time as this ancient spirituality could one day be reborn in the awareness of the European mindset, as is beginning to happen today.
What is this newly emerging mindset? Gunn Allen writes, "...the construction of Pocahontas in American thought, while often historically inaccurate, is an indication that the imagination of America is as connected to the manito aki as it is to the land. The problem that Americans face in harmonizing our modern American consciousness with the ancient psyche of the land we inhabit is the dominance of a paradigm that assumes material, measurable existence to be all there is."
The lesson for us is to respect the intuitive nature of the imagination." We need to experience and to understand the imagination as a channel of intuitive realities. The mind and its ambassador, the imagination, is quite real although it inhabits a different plane of existence than the world the senses recognizes. It is real because it makes a difference in our lives. It is in this realm of the imagination that we can find our highest ideals, that we intuit our interconnectedness as spiritual beings, that we encounter non-material beings, and discover the patterns in the creative forces that shape our lives. Our fascination with all things Native American is evidence of our connection to this non-material world. Yet this connection is something that sadly we do not recognize within ourselves, but project onto these indigenous peoples. Gunn Allen re-connects us with our heritage. She joins us in gratitude to the people who came before us, who built a spiritual time capsule that would survive the materialistic, destructive stage of our history, preserving for the future our endowment as spirit's children. Pocahontas is truly America's godmother. [...]
Book Description
From beer to Coca-Cola, the six drinks that have helped shape human history
Throughout human history, certain drinks have done much more than just quench thirst. As Tom Standage relates with authority and charm, six of them have had a surprisingly pervasive influence on the course of history, becoming the defining drink during a pivotal historical period.
A History of the World in 6 Glasses tells the story of humanity from the Stone Age to the 21st century through the lens of beer, wine, spirits, coffee, tea, and cola. Beer was first made in the Fertile Crescent and by 3000 B.C.E. was so important to Mesopotamia and Egypt that it was used to pay wages. In ancient Greece wine became the main export of her vast seaborne trade, helping spread Greek culture abroad. Spirits such as brandy and rum fueled the Age of Exploration, fortifying seamen on long voyages and oiling the pernicious slave trade. Although coffee originated in the Arab world, it stoked revolutionary thought in Europe during the Age of Reason, when coffeehouses became centers of intellectual exchange. And hundreds of years after the Chinese began drinking tea, it became especially popular in Britain, with far-reaching effects on British foreign policy. Finally, though carbonated drinks were invented in 18th-century Europe they became a 20th-century phenomenon, and Coca-Cola in particular is the leading symbol of globalization.
For Tom Standage, each drink is a kind of technology, a catalyst for advancing culture by which he demonstrates the intricate interplay of different civilizations. You may never look at your favorite drink the same way again.

A tasty appetizer of a book.......2007-09-26
In this book, Tom Standage offers an account of the historical significance of six beverages - beer, wine, spirits, coffee, tea, and Coca-Cola. Through them he provides a brisk sketch of world history, from the establishment of settled civilization in ancient Mesopotamia to the globalized world in which we live today. The perspective provided by his approach is interesting, and generally he manages to avoid the kind of overstated claims that are a common trap of works like this.
Yet as I read the book, I found myself wanting more. Standage's overviews are rather cursory - perhaps excessively so - and he glosses over some information that does not fit into the structure he lays out for the reader (gin is conspicuously absent, for example, despite its importance in the 18th century). The result is to make the book an intellectual appetizer (albeit a tasty one) rather than a meal, and after having their appetites whetted some readers will find themselves resorting to the bibliography he provides at the end of the text to learn more. As an introduction, though, Standage's book is a good starting point as an enjoyable read full of interesting details.
Superior Satisfying History.......2007-09-06
Author Standage needs to take a bow. He has succintly and in quite entertaining fashion woven a tapestry that links popular beverages with society, culture, politics and economics. I cringe whenever I see history titles that say "Changed" this or that, but this book makes a convincing argument that humans have danced to the distiller's/brewers/vintner's tune and in this repect, alcohol and caffeine have indeed "changed" the globe. Today, while the precursors to the carbonated colas are still very much around and doing a brisk business, thank you very much (beer, wine, spirits, coffee, tea), the looming "next" most popular beverage threatens to have long term and potentially catastrophic consequences - good ol' H two O. Of course, Standage points out that to a large measure the popularity of the earliest fermented brews owed a lot to unsanitary water, but now that population and urbantization pressures are combining with climatic and political changes, the availability of fresh water will be a major factor in geopolitics. Fascinatingly, he mentions how Syria's efforts to control the headwaters of the Jordan in 1964 had more than a little to do with Israel's 1967 preemptive strike against its hostile neighbors.
The author's eye for the telling anecdote and his mastery of the syncretic effects of popular culture and imperialism reveal how to a large extent it is the small everyday things that can snowball into much greater things, such as England's obsession with Chinese tea imports, its corresponding revenue imbalance with the opium-plagued Chinese, and the resulting conspiracy to foist smuggled opium onto a helpless nation. The effects of that evil (which the Brits have never really owned up to) are still being felt today, especially by New World Brits (aka Americans) who are seduced by cheap Chinese goods. Talk about what comes around goes around.
This is a quick, edifying read that will intrigue and fascinate on every page. Mr. Standage must diversify his talents onto other fields posthaste.
A Marvelous Book.......2007-09-01
This is a well written, easy to read book about the history of drinks and what difference they made to the world. Mr. Standage takes on beer, wine, spirits, tea, coffee, and... Coca Cola! I thorougly enjoyed it.
4.5 stars, fun quick read.......2007-07-28
I hate that amazon only has five rating choices. This was 4.5 stars. Highly recommended if you read many books, and are looking for a quick, easy read in between more substantive ones.
Fascinating.......2007-05-22
This is a great read. Informative & fun...how often do you find that combination?

Great Book.......2006-12-25
If you want to see how history repeats itself and get a much better understanding of what's going on in the world today read this book. It shows you how economics played into a great deal of history, how no one is innocent in tragic events that have taken place and that behind the scenes, big companies are controlling a lot of what is going on and have for a long time.
This is a pretty quick read and will show you how the Starbuck's phenomenon with coffee shops isn't anything new, how the Arabs and Chinese got screwed by the English, how the Americans took advantage of the British, how England sold opium to the Chinese to pay for their tea, etc. Crazy stuff and it's still going on today.

A Veritable Tour de Force on the Pole Shift.......2006-05-10
I'm not as phlegmatic about this title as the other commentators. I really liked it: the author, an obvious Cayce disciple, covers a variety of theories from Hapgood to Velikovsky and beyond -- all the while making it clear that "to make the case is not to prove the theor(ies)." In fact, I am surprised that none of the other reviewers picked up on the most unexpected feature of all: his "epilogue" that one might easily miss because it falls AFTER his index (a most unusual placement: I've never seen that before).
Strangely, White's conclusion turns out to be this loopy, apologetic "por mi culpa" that can be summarized thusly: "Well, folks, we're well into the 1990's, the poles haven't shifted yet. Cayce must have been wrong. I guess it's never going to happen, after all. Oh well, we still had a swell time reviewing the catastrophic possibilities, didn't we?" He goes so far as to quote from John Perry's "The Heart of History" -- in essence, saying that these theories arise because we have a psychological need to come up with these "end time" scenarios.
I disagree.
In fact, I will go so far as to say that White is the eschatological version of a Harry Dent: "You had it right the first time, mister. You should have stayed the course." Just because the Pole Shift hasn't happened yet, doesn't mean that it won't. And whether that huge planetary event is 5 years away or 100 years or 5,000 years away, the fact remains that it has occurred repeatedly over the life of this planet and it will again. He had it right ... before he decided to add the epilogue. In view of the strange "earth changes" we are already witnessing now (present tense, not future tense), I believe this book -- pre-Index -- deserves a fresh read.

Nothing to write home about.......2004-10-11
like one of the reviewers said-first two chapters ok then starts going downhill. All it is a summary of what other people wrote about the pole shift. I was already familiar with Velikovsky's and Hapgood'd theories but the rest is downright ridiculous. i could care less about various crackpots and clarivoants that he quotes. What I was expecting was some scientific theories and I certainly didn't get much in that department. don't waste your money.
Pole Shift.......2003-03-15
Read this book only on long winter nights when your television doesn't work and you have two broken legs. Actually, all possible theories, from the unlikely to possible are presented. The first two chapters are compelling, the remainder tedious. Also, if you purchase the paperback addition, buy a magnifying glass too.
Brilliant, intelligent, logical, fascinating,a must read.......1999-09-04
This is a book that all thinking people should read
Interesting item and large summary of disciplines.......1999-01-09
The author has a very good experience with several disciplines of science and research. The book reads well and sounds impressive and professional, even in matters as Psychic Foresight etc... However, in the epilogue (page 391-408) he takes almost everything back and left me with a rather frustrated feeling of "what is it know ?. Is it so or is it not ?"
My conviction is that he backs away from his own work. This does not mean that I am looking forward for a nice pole shift soon to happen. However, I expected in the epilogue the same professionalism to give a modern, more holistic answer to the questions that surfaced during the years, instead of simply stating in only 17 pages that it will not be as it was seen by him.
After reading White (and Velikovsky), I am truly convinced that more than one pole shift has taken place in the last million years. Maybe not exactly as written by the above mentioned authors but nevertheless highly interesting and demanding for further research. And to be taken very seriously

De Dos Mundos es fueda de este mundo.......2005-04-04
Excellent book in every way. The biological aspect is superb. The three major types of amphibians are very well explained and superbly illustrated. Typical amphibian information is supported by in depth information, such as decibel levels of songs, in an easily understandable manner. Quotes from numerous types of publications and sayings from the Mayans to Kermit the Frog enhance the information and makes it easier to remember. Scientifically, this book is outstanding. A complicated subject is written in a manner that makes it easy to understand and pleasing to read. I read this book cover to cover in one sitting because I couldn't put it down. This is very unusual for a scientific book.
The spanish is impeccable. As a dual language book it is one of the best I have seen. You can't tell if it was written in Spanish and translated into English or vice versa. This book is written so that portions can be used by young readers as well as for adults. I enjoyed this book and I have second graders taking information from parts of it for reports.
Outstanding book.
For folks of all ages curious to learn more about amphibians.......2003-10-19
Expertly written by amphibian expert Carlos Galindo-Leal (the senior director of Conservation International's Center for Applied Biodiversity Science "State of the Hotspots Program") and deftly illustrated by biologist and environmental expert Roberto Arreola Alemon, De Dos Mundos/Of Two Worlds is a bilingual English/Spanish biological survey of the frogs, toads, and salamanders of the Yucatan peninsula of Mexico. Color illustrations illuminate the habits, life cycles, distinguishing characteristics, and more, of these fascinating creatures, many of which are threatened by habitat loss and other predations. An involving and recommended guide for people of all ages curious to learn more about amphibians, De Dos Mundos/Of Two Worlds is a unique and welcome contribution to Biodiversity Studies reference collections in general and Amphibian Studies supplemental reading lists in particular.
