I was quite diappointed to discover: 1) They are all from NY 2) Two have only reviewed one book (this one) and the other two have multiple books from Dr. Diamond on their review list. It isn't that the book is totally valueless, it just does not warrant the solid 4 star reviews it is receiving. (At this juncture I can only assume they are less than unbiased.) I always look at the reviews a book is receiving and it appears that I need to increase my scrutiny when there are not a lot of reviews to read over.』
(Practical healing.) 『Hardcover and bound so as to stay open, The Diamond Color Meditation is a perfect travel companion, great for train rides or during lunch break at work. I find that I feel more focused and deal better with such stresses as electronic bookkeeping with the aid of this easy-to-use tool.
This is one book I can re-read and never get tired of. Well done Dr. Diamond.』
(Use it Daily) 『I've had this for a month now and use it daily. I find it quickly and simply gets me to a place where I feel the meditation is working to get insights I haven't accessed before. I read a review of it on merliannews.com: "...the author has designed this system to overcome the anguish and bring about deep healing....You may feel an immediate shift in the first reading/meditation, or a sense of the old wounds loosening and softening. If you continue for several days, more good effects continue to roll in - the colors are by turns soothing, energizing and healing." That convinced me to work with the book and I think it is simply fantastic!』
(A Revolutionary Approach to Meditation) 『The Diamond Color Meditation is a revolutionary approach to meditation by one of the world's great pioneers of holoistic medicine. It is deceptively simple, so much so that I believe most anyone could do it and benefit. It certainly does not require any previous experience of meditation and, indeed, is very different from the usual "passive" Eastern-derived approach. More important, the benefits are immediate, long-lasting and profound.
The reason for this is that the Meditation goes the heart of our life problems by helping to alleviate what Dr. Diamond terms our existential anguish, the root cause of all human suffering and disease, both physical and mental. The result is our Life Energy is raised at the deepest level.
I cannot stress enough the brilliant simplicity of the approach and its effectiveness. Doing the Meditation on a daily basis helps my entire day, enhancing my creativity, relationships and general functioning. I understand that it is the fruit of years of research and is yet another example of the astounding originality, insight, and therapeutic efficacy of Dr. Diamond's work. I strongly recommend it to everyone.』
(Strongly Recommended) 『This is a truly remarkable book. Dr. Diamond presents original insights and a philosophy that is inspiring. The meditation itself is a beautiful experience-one I look forward to using regularly throughout the years to come! I am already experiencing tremendous positive benefits from this book.』 『The Diamond Color Meditationpresents an inspiring use of color in a therapeutic meditation designed for deep personal growth and healing. This book goes far beyond traditional color therapies and introduces a new and original concept in using color for healing. Includes:
-complete meditation guide -14 full-color meditation plates, -chart of specific meditation colors with their corresponding herbs, homeopathic remedies, and acupuncture points
Supplies tools each individual can use in all aspects of life—-professional and personal.』

Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (An honest open look at race) 『It's refreshing to see a book like this written by a younger African-American woman, instead of a much-older person far removed from what s/he might be writing about. Ms. Chideya isn't terribly too much older than the young people she interviewed for this book, and coupled with the fact that she's a person of color as well, it must have been doubtless easier for her to have been perceived as "one of them" instead of some stranger who had no clue about their everyday realities. The book's purpose is to stand notions of race on their head, to show, through the eyes of young people, what it's really like to be a member of a certain race, or to be multiracial, and what it's like to live in a community that's very multicultural or self-segregating. It's projected that by the year 2050, white people in America will be a minority, and those of other races (including those of mixed-race heritage) will be in the majority. That scares a lot of people who have lived their entire lives being part of the status quo, confident that their own kind always has been and always will be in the majority. But outside of lily-white insulated communities, the reality is that there's far more interracial mixing and interracial marriages than there ever have been in the past, and this development isn't going to change anytime soon. And as Ms. Chideya points out, the worst racial crisis isn't happening in neighborhoods or cities, but in people's minds. Once people drop the ridiculous notions that America is a "white society" and that race is strictly a black and white issue, they can move forward into the future with open minds and hearts.
Among the topics Ms. Chideya covers are the future of mixed-race identity, schools where whites are the minority for once (in Los Angeles, New York City, and Johannesburg), the heartbreaking defeat of affirmative action, MTV as a cultural common denominator, Native Americans (too often completely ignored in discussions of race), the state of race in America right now, Mexican-American identity, "perfect" diversity in an imperfect world, and the sad story of Bubba and Jaime Johnson, whose newborn daughter Whitney was ordered by an all-white Baptist church to be removed from their cemetery because she was biracial, a story that happened in 1996, a time when people were supposed to be long since past the institutionalised racism of the past. The book ends with a discussion of some possible solutions to these tough complex issues, and a list of ten ways to deal with diversity so we can move towards a more perfect union. Among these suggestions are to demand better media coverage of race, know the facts about America's diversity (it's shocking how surveys show that a lot of Americans are very ignorant about the racial makeup of their own country, and how the other half really lives), follow others' lead to define their own race and community (for example, some Native Americans prefer the old term "Indian," some like the term "First Nations People," and still others like to be known by their tribal names, such as Navajo, Apache, Dakota, or Blackfoot), reward programs making diversity part of learning and work, and foster coalitions between whites and nonwhites. If people come to terms with the multi-faceted reality of race in America today, instead of continuing to hold by severely outdated and just plain inaccurate paradigms, the countdown to a majority-minority will be a breeze, with fear replaced by knowledge.』
(I wanted to like this book) 『I really wanted to like this book. Ms. Chideya is very likable and connects to many of the kids in her book. The problem is she dismisses people who don't share her view points out of hand. My biggest problem with her book is that she is adamant that Affirmative Action is the only possible solution to racism, but she fails to provide any proof and dismisses those who think otherwise as racist. With one notes exception she failed to discuss schools in which white students were the minority. (She did discuss the singular white student in an Oakland school, but thats not really multi-racial because one is not a group).
If i could speak with Ms. Chideya, I would suggest that for her next book she studies the relative successes and failures of her multi-ethnic gradutating class and study the benefits of affirmative action on that group. I think that she, and most affirmative action pundits, would be suprised to find out how much more class effects sucess than any factor. I suspect that there will be more commonalities in the demographics of her high-school class than differences because white, black or asian they all come from the same lower-middle class background.』
(Keep'n it Real) 『Farai Chideya has written a very honest account of what she feels the future holds for this country and race. She travelled America and met with a diversre spectrum of young people and allowed their voices to be heard via this book. In many ways this text reads like an on going report or newspaper article and I feel that this format serves Ms. Chideya well.
Here in Atlanta the signs of a multicultural America are abundant. Afro-Americans, Whites, Southerns, Asian, Caribbeans, Jews and a host of other people now populate this once southern strong. This diversity has made all of our live richer and better. Ms. Chideya's book is reflection of this reality. The Color of our Future is Now.』
(Boring) 『I saw the author during a book signing on television. I saw a young, intelligent, articulate lady who had some very interesting ideas about American culture. I picked up the book to learn more about her and her ideas. Unfortunately, though there is a lot of meat in this book, simply put, I was bored...bored...bored. This is not a subject I take lightly and believe me, I wanted to like this book because I like the author. I have to agree with a lot of the reviewers here. There is a lot of data and no real point. A lousy effort and there are few people more disappointed than me.』
(Falls Flat) 『While the ideas have some merit, nothing is really fresh and interesting. The biggist problem is that the writing is so bland and unfocused that the book could not maintain my interest. My impression is that the author needed more time to develop this. As there are many better alternative books available, I simply cannot recommend this.』 『
Two years ago,Newsweeknamed Farai Chideya to its "Century Club" of a hundred people to watch as we approached the year 2000. Beautiful, savvy, and wired for sound, she's an ideal guide to the new, multiracial America that's emerging as the next generation grows up and begins to shape our society. From coast to coast, from urban 'hoods to Indian reservations to lily-white small towns, she talks to young men and women about their views on race, painting a vivid portrait of a notion in transition, as America ceases to be defined by the black/white divide and enters a more complex multiethnic era. Most of all, she allows the voices of the next generation -- black, while, Latino, Asian, Native American, and multiracial -- to ring out with truth and clarity.
Since the Civil Rights movement, most Americans have thought of race as a black and white issue. That won't be the case for long. By the year 2050, there will be more nonwhite than white Americans, and most of the nonwhite population will be Asian and Latino, not black. Increasingly, America is becoming a multiracial society. Americans in their teens and twenties are at the forefront of this cultural revolution. InThe Color of Our Future,young journalist Farai Chideya explores how members of the next generation deal with race in their own lives and how the decisions they make determine America's ethnic future.
From urban hoods to Native American reservations to lily-white small towns, Chideya talks to young men and women about their personal views of race, painting a vivid portrait of a nation in transition. In clear, compelling language, she describes young people dealing with the complexities of diversity in their everyday lives. She writes of a young interracial couple pitted against their community in the South and of the white teens in Indiana, birthplace of the Klan, who get their black, hip-hop aesthetic from MTV. She interviews a Native American who wants to be the next Bill Gates, bringing computer access to his reservation in Montana, and a Mexican-American woman, working for the border patrol in El Paso, who catches the destitute Mexicans who flock into the United States to work for affluent white Texans. All these young people have clear, strong ideas about the impact of race on everything from education to pop culture. They are honest, sometimes brutally so, about their own prejudices. Their moving stories are the blueprint for the future of America. With a discerning ear and sharp insight, Chideya allows the voices of the next generation -- black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American, and multiracial -- to ring out with truth and clarity and guide us to the kaleidoscope of our future.Since the Civil Rights movement, most Americans have thought of race as a black and white issue.

『In her penetrating cross-country tour of the United States, gifted media star-on-the-rise and cultural critic Farai Chideya reveals how America's young people are deconstructing the white/black definition of race and constructing a new pluralistic paradigm that encompasses the country's white, black, Hispanic, Asian, and native peoples. Chideya shows us the trials and triumphs of several young adults who dare to brave the new multicultural world, including Earl, a New York City-born, Spanish-speaking, Chinese/Panamanian/African American college sophomore; Nicole, a biracial 15-year-old Californian; Jaime and Bubba, a persecuted interracial couple in the Deep South whose dead daughter was disinterred from an all-white cemetery because of her bloodlines; Beth, a Washington State blueblood and member of a skinhead organization; and B.J., a high school "wigger"--a white person who adopts black hip-hop culture (hence the derivation from the hatedNword). Chideya also scrutinizes affirmative action, mixed-race census categories, and bilingual education with wisdom and accuracy beyond her years. "We do not obey the laws of race. We make them," she writes. "Now is the time for us to chose wisely what we will preserve about our racial and cultural history, and what destructive divisions we need to leave behind."--Eugene Holley Jr.』

Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (felt this book) 『I dont' get a chance to read novels often. I have only started reading more recently, so I don't know if I have enough context to rate this highly. But I loved it. I felt like I was the lead character going back to his wild, teenage adventure. The emotions and scenes were painted vividly in my head. I'm not sure if that's because my life was going kind of slow at the time and this book was a good escape or because this book just was that effective.
I doubt I would have ever tried the rebellious acts this kid pulled off. But i loved being this kid. I could feel his nervous, excited energy and the uncertainty of meeting strange girls and attending bizarre rallies in a time when society seemed really screwed up and young people found themselves doubting and questioning everything around them. The moments where he seems lost wondering around chicago. I don't know if i would want to have lived these moments, but it would have at least been fun to experience.
The present day Coop I couldn't relate as well with. He seemed washed up, and kicked around. I felt pity for him, but still found myself rooting for him. I'm pretty sentimental, so I found myself chasing after his new hope for love with him.
The interactions with the older brother were disappointing. I wish he was a little warmer towards his younger brother, and less opportunistic with the women around him. Although he wasn't necessarily a villain, his missionary like determinism made his ideals and movement seem pointless. If you're willing to trample on the peopel around you, to prove some sort of greater point, what does that really say about your personal character? Seems so hypocritical. but also, i felt too distant from him to really understand his view point. i'm not sure if I would have given the reader more insight into the brother , or if i would have left him as the mystery character to be understood from the outside.』
(a job well done) 『Congratulations, Bill, on an excellent novel! I picked up this one and "Big Bend" at approximately the same time a few months ago and was thrilled with each! The generally quiet, brief dramas of the short-story collection led beautifully into this longer, more fully-explored novel.
As a former student of yours a few years back at OSU, it was with decidedly great anticipation and pleasure that I opened up this novel. I remember your reading on campus of the "Bucket!" scene (still my favorite passage, I think) and I had been eager to hear the whole thing. You didn't disappoint. Thanks for all you taught (and continue to teach me) about what it means to write. Your "Writing Life Stories" book is invaluable to me--I open it up and can almost feel myself back in your classroom again. Thank you, and keep up the good work!
PS - I gave you four stars here only because I want to see if you can top this with your next one!』
(The Smallest Color Remembers) 『The title comes from a Delmore Swartz poem that says it all in the quotation from the book's proem: "What am I now that I was then?/ May memory restore again and again/ The smallest color of the smallest day." The memory of a middle-aged man brings back the admiration and the emulation he had for his delinquent older brother, whose opposition to the Vietnam War and the social conventions of that period brought about his strange death. An engrossing mystery surrounds this death through the intricate juxtaposition of that memory and the current life of the narrator-brother in the 1990s. The novel is an exciting page-turner that takes us into the family, the marriage, and love life of the surviving brother. Roorbach has used all his artful prose to produce a novel with the same appeal as his book of stories: BIG BEND. He has selected the powerful relationship between brothers and the curious twists of memory as vehicles to produce n intriguing first novel.』
(Exhuberant, Suspenseful, and Erotic) 『Bill Roorbach's first novel is a thrilling and tender tale that moves swiftly and with stunning clarity between the past and the present in order to conjure the life of Coop Henry and slowly unravel the role he played in the death of his radical, violent, charismatic older brother. What I love most about this novel (and about all of Bill Roorbach's work in fiction and creative nonfiction) is the passion of his narrative. His people are brimming with delight even in the midst of their suffering. They are joyful companions for the reader because they see and embrace the natural world, their lovers, their own exquisite and haunted memories. Coop Henry awakens us with his desire to speak the truth. For decades, he has lived a lie, pretending his brother Hodge is still alive, living underground or in another country. As long as Coop is trapped in an unloving marriage, as long as he allows himself to be estranged from his mother and father, as long as he denies the full force of the fear and rage and love he felt for his brother Hodge, he can sustain the illusion. But a new love shatters him, returns him to the memories of his first love, the tall cowgirl who seduced and betrayed and transformed him. Remembering her means remembering Hodge as he truly was. Finally, the novel becomes a letter to Hodge--a rant, a confession, a plea for understanding and forgiveness, a confrontation, a communion. This is holy work, the work of love that is large enough to include grief and guilt and anger. Bill Roorbach offers us a rare vision, a glimpse of the violence we all endured and prepetrated during the Vietnam years--and he shows us the path we must walk if we ever wish to transcend the damage we have done to ourselves and others. Coop Henry is a man who insists on the possibility of love, who would rather risk being destroyed by the truth than face being smothered in silence. THE SMALLEST COLOR sings! The language is lyrical and surprising, the voices crisp and mesmerizing. I loved spending time with Coop Henry, and his intimate letter to Hodge seemed like a letter to me. We were that close, and his story became absolutely necessary.』
(A DAMNED FINE READ!) 『Did I like the book? You bet! I stayed up until 2:30 a.m. because I absolutely couldn't put this page-turner down. And in the following days when I kept thinking about the characters and grew depressed because I had no more Coop Henry adventures to follow, I realized what a magnificent spell Roorbach managed to cast.
The book grabs the reader by the throat in the first chapter and just plain and simple doesn't let go until the last page. The mystery surrounding Coop's older brother Hodge in 1969 is equally as gripping as the simultaneous tale of Coop's middle-age life disintegrating.
As a former Flower Child, I really appreciate the skill and detail Roorbach employs to describe that incredible, unforgettable period in our history. As a writer, I'm truly amazed that there is not one wasted word or false note in the entire book.
In short, this book wowed me bigtime. I predict Roorbach fans will grow by legions.』
『A suspenseful first novel about two brothers and the thirty-year secret between them.
Our secrets can come to define us, and sometimes after lying asleep for a long spell, a secret can awake frantic and hungry. Coop Henry's secret needs attention. His missing brother haunts his life and his life isn't holding up well under the strain. When his mother threatens to hire a detective in one last desperate attempt to discover what has happened to his brother thirty years before, Coop's life begins to come unglued. Not even a glimmer of new love in his life can rescue him. It may be that only his missing brother holds the answers --and that possibility is devastating, to Coop and to nearly everyone in his life.』

Of course, I am an architect so my perspective may be skewed a bit. And the children of all of my architectural colleagues seem to enjoy it!』
(Bringing architecture to kids) 『As an architect, I enjoy giving these books as gifts because they are different from your run of the mill children's books. I like how they use building pieces to teach about basic shapes and colors. It is not a book that highlights popular or historic architecture - its more about the components.』
(no recognizeable buildings) 『as architects and parents to a young child, we were excited to discover this series of books. however, we were left feeling a little disappointed when it arrived and the buildings used to illustrate the colors were unidentifiable and rather blase examples of architecture when there are so many high-profile buildings out there that would not only teach, but open a child's mind to what a building can be.』
(Well done!) 『The children's heavy cardboard book demonstrates a wonderful idea well executed. My grandson at 3 loves it!』
(An elegant board book.) 『This small cardboard book features photographs of buildings and architectural details. The photographs are beautiful - curious subjects in luminescent hues; there is no text other than the names of the colors. If you are a parent bored to tears with green frogs and red balloons, this book is a lifesaver. It is not clear to me what aspect of this book interests my two year old son, but it has been among his top ten for the past four months』 『Double-page spreads feature an architectural element of a particular color on one side and the name of the color spelled out on the other.』

(The New Munsell Student Color Set) 『Professionals in the fine art of painting recognize that the Munsell color system is the standard and best method for identifying and articulating color without using meaningless silly descriptions like "fire engine red." By learning the numeric method of describing color by Hue/Chroma/Value the artist will discover how Munsell has established a universal language for color that all artists can readily understand and duplicate. Learn how easily it is to mix a color using this color formula, and then accurately remix that same color again and again flawlessly.
The Munsell Student Set is an inexpensive, good place to start a serious study of color theory. While the construction of color charts (charts and tiny color chips provided) are instructive in themselves and the charts as a great source of color reference for mixing paint, the exercises also help to aid the student in learning to identify values, understand chroma and hues which is especially essential in painting realistically; it also trains the student artist in how colors influence and intensify each other when placed beside or in proximity to each other. Learn also the principle for how colors can be easily harmonized in a painting.
I recommend this set as a good reference and a basis for developing color theory; money is well spent and affordable. A must for the student painter who desires to develop professionally as an artist. 』
(Great book) 『I got the first edition for a great price. it is not very different from the 2nd edition. The colour charts are exactly the same as in the second edition. There is one chart for hue, value and chroma and 10 charts for each colour. The text contents are quite technical. There aren't many pretty pictures. 3 ring binder has colour chips, colour charts and the text.』
(Great for the artist wanting to understand color) 『This is an excellent book for the artist wanting to understand color. It's not a mixing guide though, it's about learning to see and identify the properties of color.』
(see revised edition) 『This edition has been revised and improved. See 2001 edition.』 『Albert Munsell s system of color notation has been taught for nearly a century, but the applications and uses of the system are constantly changing. Long and Luke s text teaches the importance of a standardized language to communicate color and the factors affecting how we perceive it. The three dimensions of color hue, value, and chroma are also described. There is a brief contextual description of other color systems. This text bridges the gap between the theory and appreciation of color. Munsell® color charts, to be assembled with new, enlarged chips, are the basis for additional projects and exercises. This set is ideal for students of design, art, fashion, architecture, interior design, manufacturing, color science, and anyone else who works with or is interested in color.』
