www.tomsantopietro.com
ATPAM member Tom Santopietro has recently published his
second book for St. Martin's Press, Considering Doris Day.
Following his well received critical analysis of Barbra Streisand's
career in The Importance of Being Barbra, his new book assesses
the movie and recording careers of "America's Sweetheart", Doris Day,
who reigned as the biggest female box office attraction in Hollywood
history.
Says Liz Smith about "Considering Doris Day" : "Passionate and acute in
its critique... There is something thrilling about Doris Day being
rediscovered, especially when the archaeologist of this American
treasure - Mr. Santopietro - is so right on the money."

Urban Tantra:
Sacred Sex for the Twenty-First Century
by
Barbara Carrellas
(ATPAM Member Since 1983)
www.urbantantra.org
Urban Tantra is a book
about consciousness cleverly disguised as a sex guide. It shows you how
sacred sex can be practiced anywhere from ashrams to a lap dancing
parlors, and in the time you actually have available in your busy life.
Urban Tantra is for
everyone who would like to have a more sexual and spiritual ecstasy in
their lives.
"Barbara
Carrellas, whose Urban Tantric sex workshops combine Eastern sex
techniques with the postmodern methods of SM practitioners, is a
trailblazer."
- Tristan Taormino, The Village Voice
At last,
a sex book with a sense of humor that dispels the notion that sex is
always, only and forever, between one man and one woman. I can't
wait to see generations grow up with the study and use of
Urban Tantra!
- Kate Bornstein, author of Gender Outlaw and Hello
Cruel World
The most
pleasurable, fun, meaningful, and liberating book on sex ever! Thank
you, Barbara!"
- Christiane Northrup, MD, author of Women's Bodies, Women's
Wisdom

The Importance of Being
Barbra
by Tom Santopietro
(ATPAM Member Since 1991)
www.tomsantopietro.com
The ultimate "must-read" about uber-diva Barbra Streisand in
his book The Importance of Being
Barbra in bookstores now. The insightful tome examines five (5)
decades of recordings, concert appearances, film and stage work and her
political activism.
According to Liz Smith, it's "Not the average fan tribute, The Importance of
Being Barbra mixes milk-and-honey admiration with bracing shots of
vinegar. Tom Santopietro 'gets' his idol, loves her for what she is, understands
what she is not (but still could be!). His book is smart, funny, right-on."
