Everyone can improve his or her writing ability. Effective essay writing is an acquired skill. It is not a subject so much as it is a process based on techniques. The techniques can be incorporated into one's consciousness and drawn upon according to one's particular needs and at one's convenience. The questions, answers, and examples presented here are intended to aid in the acquisition of these skills. Dr. Erskine Peters received his Ph.D. in English from Princeton University. He is a graduate of Paine College and has also studied at Yale University and Oberlin College. He was Professor of English at the University of Notre Dame. Prior to that he was Associate Professor of African-American Studies at the University of California, Berkeley. Dr. Peters is also the author of "William Faulker: The Yoknapatawpha World and Black Being" and "African Openings to the Tree of Life."

Words, Language & Grammar

African Openings uncovers the universal essence and life generating principles of African religion, philosophy, mythology, folklore, rituals, and symbolism, ordered and crystallized. These principles pertain to one's total development, relating on different levels to the person, the family, the social group, the spiritual group, the neighborhood, the community, and work organization. These principles are intended to orient one toward understanding, seeing and living life as an on-going process. The principles may be used to deal with, or simply reflect upon life in its many aspects. Certain principles when turned over in the mind and meditated upon may provide solutions to a vast range of problems. The second portion of the book is an invaluable, concise essay on the profound significance ideas and symbols have upon the building of cultures, civilizations and personalities.

The 1980's in the United States represents the last decades which will bid farewell to those African Americans who learned of slavery from former enslaved Africans. These are today's senior grandparents in their 80's and 90's who remain primary resources of the African American experience. They heard from the lips of their ancestors about one of America's worse historical blights - slavery. They know as direct descendants about the inherent cultural and political impact African Americans have had on this Country. Why? Because the information came to them as important narratives to their life's growth and a reminder from where they has come to encourage strength to go further. --- excerpt from book's Introduction

A complete, full-color recreation in book form of all 12 issues of the legendary psychedelic newspaper originally published in the Haight-Ashbury 1966-68. Edited by Allen Cohen $175.00 Library Edition (ISBN 0-916147-11-8) / $700.00 Collector's Edition (ISBN 0-916147-12-6) / 431 pp / 11" x 14"/ hardbound / archival paper / Library Edition limited to 1700 copies / Collectors Edition limited to 200 copies 
The San Francisco Oracle, published in the Haight-Ashbury from 1966 to 1968, was one of the most unique and beautiful publications of the 60's. It is remembered for it's extraordinary graphic design by major San Francisco artists, its rainbow colors and the cultural explorations and breakthroughs in its articles, interviews and poetry. At its height, over 120,000 copies of each issue of The Oracle were printed and distributed, and each copy was read by many people. The Oracle is quoted and praised in most of the histories of the 60's. Writers who appeared in The Oracle include: Gary Snyder, William Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg, Alan Watts, Stephen Levine, Lenore Kandel, Tim Leary, Michael McClure, Paul Krassner, Buckminster Fuller, Carl Rogers, Richard Alpert (Ram Dass), Robert Theobald, Lawrence Ferlinghetti and others. Artists include many of the great San Francisco Poster artists such as: Rick Griffin, Stanley Mouse, Alton Kelly, Bruce Conner, Michael Bowen and Gary Grimshaw. During the 60's there was an incredible surge of creative innovation in journalism. In response to the mainstream media's control of information regarding the Vietnam War, the anti-war movement and the cultural changes that were sweeping America, every large city, many college campuses and even some high schools created their own underground newspapers. Out of this creative ferment arose one publication that burst the boundaries of the newspaper format both in graphic and in written content;The San Francisco Oracle. The Oracle printed artwork in bold colors, merging written content and artistic vision. At times it was difficult to tell if the paper was reflecting the changes in the new culture or originating them. Its style and technical innovations were copied by many of the alternative papers and some of the more adventurous mainstream media. The Oracle is now a cherished legend. Those who remember it compare its beauty to the medieval illuminated manuscripts and the illustrated books of Blake and Dori.

Redefining Our Relationships: Guidelines for Responsible Open Relationships

Don't let the title fool you. this IS a serious, thoughtful (and thought-provoking) comprehensive introduction to, and examination of, a much misunderstood and misused practice. But more than that, it is a witty, provocative, damn fine read, with as much to offer to the faithfully monogamous as to those looking for a bit more out of life, love and relationships. Go on. Dive in. "Wendy-O tackles a touchy subject with clarity and creativity. She is wise beyond her years. This guide teaches you how you can have it all. I gave the jealousy tips to my lover immediately." [Annie Sprinkle]
