Two new titles from White Cloud Press, “Love Letter to the Milky Way” and “Embrace Your Inner Wild,” selected as finalists for 2011 Book of the Year Awards

Love Letter To The Milky Way “ForeWord Reviews” is pleased to announce the 2011 Book of the Year Awards list of finalists. Representing more than 700 publishers, the finalists were selected from 1200 entries in 60 genre categories. These books are examples of independent publishing at its finest.

White Cloud Press of Ashland, Oregon has two books selected as finalists in the Nature and Poetry categories.

With intimate animal photographs by Don Moseman and original, inspirational reflections by Mary Reynolds Thompson, “Embrace Your Inner Wild: 52 Reflections for an Eco-Centric World” celebrates the healing power, timeless wisdom, and unparalleled beauty of Nature. It mixes the poetic with the provocative, calling people forth to protect the wild – in their world and in their spirit.

“We created ‘Embrace Your Inner Wild’ to foster a love of the earth, its inhabitants, and the wild soul in each of us that longs to be set free,” reports Reynolds Thompson. “The goal of the book is to delight, but also open the door to the mystery and majesty of the non-human world.” The imagery and text allow anyone who reads it to experience a profound connection to Nature.

Martin Shaw's A Branch from the Lightning Tree received a featured review in Forward Reviews.

The reviewer, Kristine Morris, declares, "To embark upon a mythic journey one needs a guide." She then poetically presents Martin Shaw's credentials and captures the essence of the Lightning Tree message.

ForeWord concludes, "Lovers of myth and poetry, and all who yearn for the truths that lie buried in the dark, rich soil of the soul will find a kindred spirit in Shaw, whose "galloping language and green silence" calls forth today's storytellers—the Soul Teachers who can bring their prophetic energies to join hands with the wild things of Earth and howl songs of freedom to the opening sky."

Evidence-Based Strategies for Living Better and Longer Presented in New Book.

Winning at Aging Provides Comprehensive Game Plan for the Second Half of Your Life!

Ashland, Oregon – July 25 – What do Frank Shearer, Wesley Autrey, Ray Andersen, and Arthur Rubenstein have in common? Frank went waterskiing, Wesley jumped onto the New York City subway tracks to rescue a fellow commuter, Ray turned his compa­ny around 180 degrees towards complete sustainability, and Arthur delivered a masterful piano performance. Here’s what these four remarkable individuals have in common: All of them were over 50 years of age when they achieved these remarkable things. In fact, Arthur was 80 and Frank—the waterski­ing guy—was 100!

In his new book, Winning at Aging: Your Game Plan for Healthy Living, Dr. John Kalb asks the provocative question: “How about you? What do you want to be capable of doing in your 50s, 80s, and beyond? Can you imagine yourself accomplish­ing something like they did?”

Fatemeh Fakhraie is a young Muslim who lives in Corvallis. She is one of 40 women who contributed essays to "I Speak for Myself," a new book published by White Cloud, an Ashland press.
"
Fakhraie is not the Muslim woman many Americans expect to meet. She doesn't cover her hair, stand quietly on the margins, defer to men or blindly accept someone else's interpretation of the Quran."
