Book Description
In October 2002, WHO of the United Nations listed China’s Great Leap Forward, the two world wars and Stalin’s purge movement as the three most disastrous events of mankind in the 20th century. Rainbow Bridge reflects the chaotic years of the “Three Red Banners” pursued by the Communist Party of China (CPC). The “Three Red Banners,” namely, the CPC’s General Line for Socialist Construction, the Great Leap Forward and the people’s communes, focally representing the radical economic line of the CPC in late 1950s to early 1960s. This line had pushed the Chinese national economy to the verge of collapse. The novel exposes the shaping, the complete process and the disastrous consequences of the “Three Red Banners” with the “Great Leap Forward” as the main episode, through continuing describing Simon Chan’s experience and his relations with the people of various strata around him. It faithfully depicts the unprecedented nation-wide great famine caused by the “Three Red Banners” in an all-round way. The great famine, which leads to the death of more than thirty millions of people, lasts for as long as three years. The genuine friendship between Simon and Phoenix fostered through weal and woe during that time, their subtle relations and the tragedy in which Phoenix, this innocent, artless and beautiful country girl, drowns herself in the Rainbow River as a protest against the ultra-Leftist line, are an exceptionally sad and touching story of the Great Leap Forward. The novel gives authentic and detailed descriptions of all these things. Rainbow Bridge is the first and the only novel that exclusively gives a vivid, authentic and all-round narration of the Great Leap Forward movement so far.

Book Description
A journey through 20,000 years of history and myth in search of the answer to a single question: Do animals have souls? Anyone who has ever mourned the loss of a cherished pet has wondered about the animal soul. Do animals survive the death of the body, or are they doomed to disappear completely when they leave this world behind? Both scientists and religious authorities have long scoffed at the idea of animals in heaven. Yet the question endures. In this wise, immensely readable book, Ptolemy Tompkins embarks on a quest for the answer—taking us on a top-speed tour of the history of the animal soul. Equally at home with mainstream and alternative spiritual philosophies, Tompkins takes us from the savannas of Africa to the earth’s first cities to the early days of the great faith traditions of both East and West. Along the way, he shows that, despite what many of us have been taught, the world’s various spiritual traditions all have profoundly meaningful things to say about the animal soul, if we simply know where to look. Rescuing these ancient insights and blending them with vivid stories about animals today—from a dwarf rabbit named Angus to a manatee named Moose to a black bear named Little Bit—The Divine Life of Animals paints a gloriously inclusive picture of the cosmos as a place made up of both matter and spirit, in which animals are every bit as important, spiritually speaking, as the humans with whom they share the world. Though it is startlingly original, The Divine Life of Animals also feels strangely and instantly familiar, for it reveals truths that many of us have held in our hearts already, waiting only for someone to give fresh voice to one of the oldest and most trustworthy intuitions we possess. The Divine Life of Animals offers a compelling and timeless vision of the relationship between humans and animals that will have you looking at the animals in your life with new eyes.

Book Description
Deborah and her beloved cat Ragdoll cat, Mr. Jazz, spent a lifetime together. The bond they shared was special - he was her companion through the best and worst of it all. So when the inevitable happened - the realization he was dying at 15 years of age and she would have to face the painful and difficult decision of helping to let him go, their relationship changed, causing Deborah to learn some invaluable lessons from him about life, love, grieving, and letting go. Told by Mr. Jazz himself, an ordinary cat by his own admission, Purr Prints of the Heart is a touching meow-memoir that will strike a chord with anyone whose heart carries paw-prints of love as he shares the story of his life from kitten hood to his final days on earth in the physical sense. Cleverly written in cat likeness with incredible insight, candor, charm, wisdom, and humor, Mr. Jazz takes the reader on a journey that is like a salve in book form to offer comfort to all who have had to deal with (or will have to deal with), the inevitable loss of a beloved pet. Replete with memorable moments of anticipation, outbursts of laughter, sighs of relief, sheer joy, and throes of grief, Mr. Jazz, carries a conversation with readers, putting them in real-life situations they can easily relate to and empathize with - from his days as a kitten that nobody wanted, to finally being adopted into a loving human and animal filled family that had its share of ups and downs, to his final months whereby his health was declining and he had to deal with things like frequent visits to the vet, being force fed food, resentment issues, litter issues, and the finality of coming to terms with the fact he was dying and needing to convince his beloved humans to let him go . The ending is a welcoming upturn, a refreshing reminder of the celebration of life and the indelible purr prints cats leave on our hearts and includes an invaluable "Coping With Pet Loss" section to help readers on all levels - emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and even physically to empower themselves with ways to positively honor the journey of the pet lost as well as ways to find the strength to heal and mend a broken heart.
