INDIA: In Search of the Fourth Veda explores the esoteric culture of India with a variety of questions. Why are arranged marriages preferred? Why is each birth recorded by the minute? Why are horoscopes so common that computer stores offer them? Why are palmistry and numerology popular? Why is a caste system important? A native English teacher explained, "Our culture is based on four sacred texts called Vedas. The fourth Veda gives instruction on astrology, horoscopes, palmistry, numerology, and other practical skills which make India unique." The author traveled from Delhi to Coimbatore witnessing the fourth Veda influence that blankets the country. She describes interviews with swamis, brahmins, entomologists, film producers, astrologers, holy men and everyday householders who all declared that the fourth Veda is a storehouse of knowledge. "Astrology," a physician insisted, "is definitely a science. You people in the West don't have any idea what we have here in India." A Masters Degree in English as a second language earned the author an invitation to teach in India. A minor in Ancient Texts helped connect India to other ancient world views. Her experiences in large cities and jungle villages add humor, adventure, and a better understanding of a country that is often misunderstood. "The sacred Vedas," she writes, "are the essence of the Indian soul, the structure of generational DNA that has kept an ancient civilization intact for thousands of years." In a five star review Charles Remington of Readers' Favorites says, "Reading Ms. Gunderson's unflinching narrative you will get an understanding of India's long history and spiritual background without involving yourself in years of study. To achieve this in a single book is nothing short of brilliant."

For Phyllis Bivins, extreme poverty, hunger, and homelessness were just a part of growing up in 1960's Virginia. Her mother could only afford to raise her on a part-time basis, passing Phyllis around to family members and friends while seeking whatever work was fitting for a woman with a sixth-grade education. Some of the impromptu foster homes were nicer than others, with indoor plumbing, three square meals a day, and nice, clean clothes for Phyllis to wear. But they didn't quell the revulsions that constantly tormented her from childhood into young adulthood, like the unspeakable horrors of repeated sexual abuse and domestic violence. While enduring the devastating traumas of poverty, abandonment, and abuse, Phyllis somehow found solace in her passionate love for education. School was her sanctuary, providing a relief that a life of pain and scarcity had stolen from her. The endearing words of her third-grade teacher implanted a seed of hope into Phyllis's heart that grew with her, even through her stepfather's savage beatings and an unexpected teen pregnancy. Phyllis was special, with a spirit too bold to be broken, and she was determined to carve out a path for herself that would lead her far away from the only life she'd ever known. Despite her traumatic beginnings, Phyllis's hunger for education, coupled with a relentless resolve to escape, propelled her on a journey to freedom and unimaginable heights.

George Meredith (1829-1909) was a novelist and poet. In this 1963 study, Phyllis Bartlett underlines Meredith's essential modernity. His poetry, with its preoccupation with the vitality and fire of nature, owes much to Wordsworth, but it also anticipates D. H. Lawrence. His novels are remarkable for their psychological insight and for their awareness of the iniquities of Victorian sexual morality. Yet his work is never morbid, as Bartlett emphasizes; the searching analysis of human relationships is accompanied by humour and irony, for Meredith believed deeply in "the laughter of men and women in concert".
