The book title and subject matter; the globalized world in the twenty-first century, would not normally have drawn my attention, and truth be told, seemed a little too dry and academic for my tastes.

Azer has included two short stories in this edition of his book "The Crucifier and In the Beginning." Both stories are fictionalized accounts of Biblical events.

It won't be the last. The book is called A Story Like the Wind and it follows the life of a 13 year old European boy, Francois, living on a remote farm in a country in Africa. His father, a former school superintendent who left public service because he disagreed with the public policy of inferior education for native peoples, home schools Francois. But the true education of this child of the frontier is derived from the native people who help to raise him, principally Matabele and Bushmen. The respect that van der Post paints of the tribal cultures is profound. Laurens was raised in Africa in the early 1900s in a family with 15 children and he grew up immersed in the stories of the original African cultures. Many of these stories are no longer told. These people had a profound awareness of their connection with the natural world. It is this awareness that we in the West need to foster and expand.

In Lori Wick's "The Princess," however, the vows are only the beginning. Although this is the story of an arranged marriage, I found its underlying message quite relevant to most people today, and I think it may especially help those who are struggling or considering divorce.

The author Dr. L. Prakash says that "10% of life is made up of what happens to you; you determine the other 90% by your reactions. You can't change everything that you don't like nor can you run away from everything that doesn't suit you. If the pressure of life starts dictating your life then you are a loser".

The book is both a collection of poetry and Kiritsis's own rendition of epic ancient myths and legends. Its title reflects both its sources in Hermetic literature and its concern with alchemy, primarily the alchemy of love. Paul Kiritsis states that he wrote "Hermetica" so readers will be "more aware of the literary worth of long gone civilizations and develop a greater appreciation of ancient folklore. I want people to think about where we fall in the wider scheme of things; our relation to the universe, to religion, to one another in general.
