books by Barry Miles     books:       John Lennon in His Own Words (In Their Own Words)3 reviews John Lennon, Barry Miles, ... Omnibus Press, 1990 Just what the title says "in his own words" I read this book "In His Own Words" last summer and I really enjoyed it. I keep it on the nightstand by my bed and look at every now and again. The book isn't one he wrote but a complilation of things he's said and his opinions. The book is funny in some places and well...not funny in others. I recomend this book for anyone who likes John Lennon, or wants to learn a bit about him.             Bob Dylan in His Own Words4 reviews Bob Dylan, Barry Miles, ... Music Sales Corp, 1993 Hillarious--the most fun Bob book A must for any Bob Dylan fan, this book contains an ecclectic collection of Dylan's responses to reporters and others.             David Bowie black book1 review Barry Miles Exclusive distributors, Music Sales Corp, 1984 One of the earliest photo-books on Bowie Wow, I'm surprised to see this book available out here, a must for any Bowie fan. It's a huge book, the size of an album cover, great photos on every single page, most in color. Thorough writing by Barry Miles gives you the initial glimpses into the artist, David Bowie, his personal life and musical evolution. Has lots of rare photos that go right up to the end of the '70's. I own two copies; ...             Zappa: Visual Documentary1 review Barry Miles Omnibus Pr, 1993 Excellent visual companion to Zappa This is an excellent companion to your Zappa collection. It might be of little interest to those totally not in the know about Zappa; unlike Bet Watson's excellent "Negative Dialectics of Poodle Play" however, it is not incomprehensible to the novice. The chronological flow and the wealth of biographical material is a fine bonus, as are the hitherto rare photos of Zappa with various family ...             Howl3 reviews Allen Ginsberg, Barry Miles Harper Perennial, 1995 Poets see hell through the eyes of angels I reread this little book before attempting to review it. I remembered that it was a mad mantra of transcendent power from the heart of hell, but I didn't remember how nondated it was. This work is fresher and more relevant than 99% of what passes for poetry today. How can something last nearly 50 years without going stale or becoming trite? How can it be even more real now? Maybe it is because ...             51 Wacky We-Search Reports: Face the Facts With Fun4 reviews Barry Lane Discover Writing Pr, 2003 An excellent source for stimulating creativity Enhanced with Miles Bodimeade's black and white illustrations, Barry Lane's 51 Wacky We-Search Reports is a whimsical ourcebook written especially for young people and offering ideas to create humorous parodies of factual reports for fun and devising entertaining performances.

As we all know, the tortoise challenged the hare to a race, and the tortoise won because the hare was lazy... but what happened the next ...             Whose School is It, Anyway?: Parent-Teacher Conflict Over an Innovative School (Praeger Studies in ...1 review Barry A. Gold, Matthew B. Miles Praeger Publishers, 1981 Informative, Concise This book was an informative and unparalleled look at a school system paradigm. Sociological in method, humanitarian in form it explored issues in school reform that have yet to be recorded. Required reading for students and experts alike.             Seashore Chronicles: Three Centuries of the Virginia Barrier Islands1 review University of Virginia Press, 1999 An excellent reference of the Virginia Barrier Islands Those who live on the beach are subject to some of the more momentous forces of nature.... storms and hurricanes. In few other places has this been the case more than along the Virginia coast....and this work explores all those who lived in this treacherous margin between the mainland and the ocean. The book covers the continuing shifting of the islands through time, as well as their attempts ...             Paul Mccartney1 review Barry Miles Vintage Excellently crafted musical tabliture! This music book contains some of the McCartney repertoire. Both Beatles and solo matierial is included. It is especially unique because of the McCartney drawn pictures included. The guitar tabs are magnificent and it truly shows McCartney's musical diversity. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in McCarney's music.             The Beat Hotel: Ginsberg, Burroughs & Corso in Paris, 1957-196310 reviews Barry Miles Grove Press, 2001 Fascinating, Scholarly Sketch of Literary History The first time I read this book, I turned back over to the first page and read it again. It was that good. I am a huge Burroughs fan, and I learned a new appreciation for Allen Ginsberg, Gregory Corso and Brion Gysin. The grist of this book provides insight into the day-to-day maze of creativity whose epicenter happened to be Post WWII Paris. If you are looking for a fresh, lively, intelligent ...             I Want to Take You Higher: The Psychedelic Era 1965-19694 reviews Charles Perry, Barry Miles Chronicle Books, 1997 great read! i found that this was a wonderful book. i was not around during the sixties, but i have been in love with them for a while. this book is a great trip back to the sixties for those of us who weren't fortunate enough to be there, and i'm sure it is great memories for those who were. i would reccomend this book to anyone in search of information about the sixties/hippies. it is definately a ...             The Beatles: In Their Own Words3 reviews Omnibus Press, 1978 Truly their own words This was the first of the many books I've read about the Beatles. It is as much the way the previous reviewers below describe it - - but for me when reading it the first time really touched my imagination. I was a young Beatle freak in the early 1980's, hungry for Beatles info. I got the book as a gift from my family, after they saw that I was listening to same Beatles albums over and over again. ...             The Beatles: A Diary5 reviews Barry Miles Omnibus Press, 1998 This book has Amazing pictures! This book covers most everything that happened to the Beatles and even has quotes. The book has many pictures of the Fab Four that I had never seen before. I enjoyed the way the book was set up. No matter if you are a hardcore Beatles Freak or a first time listener you can still enjoy the book.             Ginsberg5 reviews Barry Miles Virgin Books, 2002 Everything you wanted to know about Ginberg and more. This is the ultimate Allen Ginsberg biography. It goes into detail about all aspects of Allen's life from his childhood with emotionally disturbed mother Naomi (for which Kaddish was written) to his death from liver cancer in 1997. All his crazy times with fellow beats (Kerouac, Burroughs, Corso, etc.) are well documented and events which are eluded to in his poetry and journals are brought to ...             Paul McCartney: Paintings13 reviews Bulfinch, 2000 Unpretentious Art! Regardless of the high brow reviews of this book, I chose to purchase this book to see if this was another celebrity who found art and realized their celebrity could sell their art. Bottom line I had hoped that McCartney's personality would triuumph and his down to earth philoposphy would come through. Indeed it did and this is the first Unpretentious book on Art I have ever read. If anyone has ...             Paul McCartney: Many Years From Now118 reviews Barry Miles Holt Paperbacks, 1998 How the Music Evolved Barry Miles' biography of Paul McCartney (Many Years from Now) is distinctive from other Beatles's biographies for its detailed look at how all that iconic music came together. As one example, McCartney gives an insider's view of where he was and what he was doing when he composed "Here, There, and Everywhere," as well as the off hand remark that playing one particular chord led to "Fool on the ...             Naked Lunch: The Restored Text238 reviews William S. Burroughs Grove Press, 2004 Beyond Good & Evil Burroughs' work is a reaction to post -1945 cold war America in its radical deployment of tone, style and content. It endured bans, censorship and obscenity trials before hitting bookstores in the early nineteen sixties. But for all that, its continuing power is as spiritual work that makes it more than merely a insightful document of its times. "Naked Lunch" is no "Ulysses" and yet it shares ...             Hippie26 reviews Barry Miles Sterling, 2004 Hippie Hippie by Barry Miles ***** One of the greatest and most interesting coffee table books in history. Hippie is bright with vibrant pictures of the hippie movement, which in this book is depicted as more than just a small gathering in San Francisco, California in the mid to late 1960's, but something that was much bigger and basically covered the entire globe. Packed with great and ...             Jack Kerouac6 reviews Barry Miles Virgin Books, 1999 A TARNISHED KING This biography is part of an unceasing flow of writings about Kerouac and about the Beat movement which he helped to inspire. Miles's book is valuable because it explains why people continue to read Kerouac and the beats and also focuses on the limitations of the movement, I think, through discussion of Kerouac as a person. Kerouac was first and foremost a writer. Miles' book emphasizes this. ...              search for books 1957-1963, 1965-1969, american, barrier, beatles, burroughs, centuries, chronicles, conflict, continued, documentary, education, ethnographic, ginsberg, innovative, islands, mccartney, paintings, parent-teacher, perspectives, praeger, psychedelic, reports, restored, seashore, studies, teacher, tortoise, virginia, we-search books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
