Make Room for Joy: Finding Magical Moments in Your Everyday Life
Susan L. Colantuono í72
Interlude Productions, 2000

This is a book born of what could have been despair. Susan L. Colantuano, a consultant and educator, endured two years of what could have been spirit-breaking disappointments only to find she had thrived. The book offers her suggestions about how to find joy in everyday life-without winning the lottery or inheriting millions. ColantuonoÌs guidebook shows that life's true rewards are all around us, even in the midst of what society tells us are setbacks. From taking a walk to patting the dog to offering forgiveness, Make Room for Joy tells us what we should know but too often do not.

Tornado in a Junkyard: The Relentless Myth of Darwinism
James Perloff '73
Refuge Books 1999

"Warning: This book may change your life. Are you really the descendant of fish and apes? Examine the growing evidence that is shaking long-held beliefs." That's the back-cover copy on this presentation of the "scientific case against Darwinism, informally written for laymen." Chapter one, "Baby Boomer Tunes Out, Turns On, Bums Out, Burns Out," includes references to Perloff's left-wing, hippie days at Colby, 1969-73, to establish that the author wasn't raised as a fundamentalist. Tornado in a Junkyard was a "new selection" of the Conservative Book Club.
