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

CONSIDERING DORIS DAY

by Tom Santopietro
(ATPAM Member Since 1991)

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."

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."
