Origins and History
Hopi Blue Pulling Corn (Zea mays) is a traditional heirloom variety with deep cultural and agricultural roots among the Hopi people of the American Southwest. This variety has been cultivated for centuries in arid regions of what is now northern Arizona, where Indigenous communities developed resilient corn types adapted to low-rainfall environments. "Pulling corn" refers to the Hopi custom of harvesting ears by pulling them from the stalk rather than cutting them—a reflection of the cultural practices tied to this corn’s use in ceremonies, foodways, and seedkeeping traditions. Hopi Blue Corn represents not just sustenance but also spiritual heritage, carrying forward ancient knowledge of seed selection and dryland farming.

Appearance and Characteristics
Hopi Blue Pulling Corn is striking in appearance, with ears that bear kernels ranging from deep indigo to bluish-black, occasionally with lighter steel-blue tones. Plants typically reach 5 to 7 feet in height and produce ears that are 8 to 10 inches long. The kernels are dense and flinty, suited to grinding. The plant’s growth habit is upright and strong, developed to withstand dry, windy conditions. Its drought tolerance and adaptability make it especially valuable for sustainable gardens and traditional agroecological systems.

Culinary Uses
This heirloom variety is primarily used for making blue cornmeal, which is rich in flavor and has higher protein content than many modern hybrid corns. It is ideal for traditional Native American dishes such as piki bread and blue corn mush, as well as for tortillas, cornbread, pancakes, and tamales. When ground, Hopi Blue Corn produces a fine, earthy-tasting meal that retains its color when cooked, adding a unique hue to baked goods and a robust flavor profile.

Days to Maturity
Hopi Blue Pulling Corn matures in approximately 90 to 110 days, depending on local climate conditions. It is a relatively long-season corn, requiring a stable growing period free of early frosts, though it can be more forgiving than many other flint types due to its desert-adapted genetics.

Growing Tips
This variety thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, especially sandy or loamy soils with good fertility. It can be grown successfully in dry farming systems or with minimal irrigation once established, especially in hot, arid climates. Hopi Blue Pulling Corn should be sown directly in the ground after the danger of frost has passed and soil temperatures reach at least 60°F. Plant in blocks rather than single rows to ensure adequate pollination, spacing seeds 8–12 inches apart in rows 24–36 inches apart. Companion planting with beans and squash, as in the traditional Three Sisters method, can enhance soil health and productivity.

Harvesting Guidance
Harvest Hopi Blue Corn when the husks are dry and the kernels are fully firm and glossy, typically 110 days after planting. Ears should be pulled downward and twisted from the stalk when mature—a method aligned with traditional Hopi harvesting practices. After harvest, husks can be peeled back and ears hung to dry in a well-ventilated, shaded area. Once thoroughly dried, kernels can be shelled for storage or milling. Properly stored in a cool, dry place, the seeds retain viability and flavor for years, continuing a lineage of food sovereignty and cultural preservation.

Great buy!
We utilized this text during my Group Psychology course in my masters program. I felt it was very informative and is referred to highly by several of my colleagues. I had sold the text back to my campus book store a few years ago, but have decided I will benefit from having a copy available to me over my development as a professional. The information within this text, specifically the theories described by Yalom, are also incorporated into the state licensure exam, so it is a good reference to have when studying for this exam as well.

Excellent definitive group process textbook - not dry or verbose
Yalom certainly conveys his knowledge, research, and experience clearly in an organized, interesting, and engaging way that makes this textbook easy reading, but not at all simplistic. Had to stop and "chew" on material often to absorb. A must for anyone who has the responsibility of facilitating a therapy group. Not for support group-related work, especially. This is process group 100%.

The Most Clear and Accessible (Not to Mention Funny) Treatment of the Trinity I Have Ever Encountered
Format: Paperback
The Trinity may be the most difficult Doctrine of the Church to understand and it is even more difficult to explain clearly; yet it is also central and essential to the Christian Faith. This makes it very difficult for those of us in ministry who want to teach about the Nature of God with accuracy, clarity, and care. More often than not, discussions of God’s Triune nature involve analogies of water, apples, hats, and other such symbols that never seem to really help anyone’s understanding and serve only to muddy the theological waters. Stephen Bullivant’s concise, fair-minded, humorous, and incredibly accessible work is truly a breath of fresh air. It has brought much needed relief from bad analogies and incredible clarity to a difficult topic. I will even go so far as to say it has re-shaped both my thinking about and teaching of the Trinity. What I love most about this book is that I can recommend it to anyone. The clarity of thought with which Bullivant writes, and the ease with which he uses pop-culture and humor to illuminate complex ideas make this a rare book on theology that provides the reader with both the erudition of a scholar and the art a communicator. I have been teaching from this book at our church since I read it last Spring and I can attest from the feedback that I have gotten that it has been a game-changer on the topic of the Trinity for many people here. Quite a few have told me that the way Bullivant explains the Trinity has brought them clarity one this the Doctrine for the first time in their Christian experience. I cannot recommend this book highly enough for anyone in ministry that is looking for a way to communicate a very difficult theological topic with clarity, humor, humility, and care.

A Clear, Readable, and Necessary Contribution
Format: Paperback
This is a clear, readable, and necessary book. The Trinity is the central mystery of the Christian faith, but it can be difficult to articulate in a simple and coherent way. As one who regularly teaches the topic in the Catholic high school setting, I appreciated the very accessible approach that the author takes. Anyone who struggles with the basic meaning of the doctrine would benefit from this text, as would those who are tasked with explaining it to others. From the very first page of the book, the author presents the doctrine of the Trinity through three basic statements: 1. There is only one God. 2. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit is each God. 3. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are not the same. Besides a very good opening chapter on the ability to speak about God at all, the entire book is basically an unpacking of why the Church came to believe in these three statements and the problems (aka heresies) that arise when any one of the three is denied. Over the course of the book, the reader will become familiar with many of the key biblical texts underlying the doctrine of the Trinity and the early theologians who defended it. While this is not primarily a work of doctrinal history, the arguments are almost entirely based on the thought of these fourth and fifth century theologians. Two points are worth noting, though neither was a "deal breaker" for me: First, be ready for lots of references to popular culture. I was surprised to see mentions of everything from Wayne's World and Borat to the song Achy Breaky Heart and the Three Amigos. These are no doubt great examples from the author's experience, as university teacher, in connecting the subject matter to his student audience. But in almost every instance I found myself drawn away from the topic at hand and in some cases I was left pondering the usefulness of the gratuitous reference itself. Luckily, I got almost every single one--until a late reference to the British TV series Father Ted forced me to look it up on Google. Second, I'm not sure if this book is still in such an early printing that it hasn't been physically typeset yet, but my edition looked as though an inkjet printer produced it. In an age of Retina display screens, it was a bit odd being disappointed in the quality of actual printed text. Overall, I highly recommend the book. I've just ordered the author's previous book from Paulist Press and look forward to his future works.

This book is good if you wish to know the heresies of the Trinity. It does not cover the inner working relationships of the Trinity.
