Within one of the most complex musical categories yet to surface, Cal Tjader quietly pioneered the genre as a jazz vibraphonist, composer, arranger and bandleader from the 1950s through the 1980s. Reid tells the life story of a humble musician, written in a familiar, conversational tone that reveals Tjader's complex charisma. Tjader left behind a legacy and a labyrinth of influence, attested by his large audience and innovation that would change the course of jazz. Expanded and revised, this intimate biography now includes additional interviews and anecdotes from Tjader's family, bandmates, and community, print research, and rare photographs, presenting a full history of an undervalued musician, as well as a detailed account of the progression of Latin Jazz.

For recreational skiers"You have skillfully and accurately described and analyzed a brand new technique that anyone can learn in a quarter of the time it took to learn the old technique. It is a technique that empowers the student to rapidly achieve heights never before possible."--Recreational skier, Tom Humphrey
For those of higher levels of skills"I have harassed you for a long time to be more interested in "cross-under" and that good skiing consists in a long S turn, not a series of individual turns. By whatever route, you have come to understand these things; and that is great. I admire the work you have done."--Master Coach, Warren Witherell
"I know it has made me a better skier and has made the last few seasons interesting and fun for me and the folks that I do a lot of my skiing with."--Veteran junior race coach, Fred Pease
"The Reids relay through their love of skiing and teaching a technique based on what works not what ought to work. Thus, this book is worthwhile reading for the Week-end Skier as well as the World Cup Ski Coach."--Ron Kipp, former Director of Athlete Preparation for the USST

This book examines twentieth-century theological commentators (Brath, Rahner, Florovsky, Lossky) on the problem of the doctrine of energies in God. Counter to existing trends in western theology, the author gives a positive evaluation of this doctrine and seeks common ground between the eastern idea of essence and energies and the western identification of the inner and economic trinity. Though written from a clearly western perspective, the book argues the coherence of the eastern position, and that underlying both eastern and western positions is a common intention to say that the encounter with God is real, and that the primary ontological distinction is between God and creation. This book was originally presented as the author's thesis (doctoral)--Universitat Tubingen, 1992, under the title: Die Lehre von den ungeschaffenen Energien: Ihre Bedeutung fur die okumenische Theologie.
