I am glad to say I own a copy; an autographed one at that! This book is a collection of oral histories from gay rights activists over a 50 year span. It is diverse in terms of gender and race. I think Marcus even interviews pioneering straight allies as well. Many gay studies texts are not accessible to your everyday reader. However, any literate gay person could read this book. I majored ...             Is It a Choice? - 2nd edition: Answers to 300 of the Most Frequently Asked Questions About Gays and Lesbian ...28 reviews Eric Marcus HarperSanFrancisco, 1999 A Source Book to Put an End to Myths and Prejudices: Healthy Information This is the third edition of Eric Marcus' "IS IT A CHOICE: Answers to the Most Frequently Asked Questions About Gay and Lesbian People" and in revising his original 1990s publication he has added some welcome, warm humor and finer perspective, features that make this little book an invaluable help to individual, families and friends who are experiencing discovery of someone 'coming out of the ...             Making Gay History1 review HarperCollins e-books, 2007 Excellent work, essential reading for anyone looking for a rough guide to gay history. This is an excellent collection of first-person narratives of gay life in America from 1945 to the present. The people interviewed cover everything from the Mattachine society to PFLAG to the GSA movement. Extremely useful for getting a broad look at the LGBT rights movement in America. I personally prefer "Making History" by the same author because the interviews appear all at once.

Marcus International Universities Press, 2004 He Coulda Been a Contenda Eric Marcus is one of those once-in-a-lifetime Docs. He has often been compared to Madame Curie (indeed, they share the same taste in clothes), Dr. Z and Dr. Vinny Boom-Bats. His weekly radio show, "Be glad you're neurotic or I'll kill you" has been number one in its time period since Jean Shepherd and Bob & Ray hung-em-up. He has been very much in demand as a public speaker. His most ...             What if Someone I Know Is Gay? GB: Answers to Questions about Gay and Lesbian People (Plugged In)3 reviews Eric Marcus Price Stern Sloan, 2000 Required reading for ALL kids Eric Marcus has written this wonderful book for middle and early high school kids about homosexuality. Written in a question and answer format in larger print, this book tells the TRUTH to kids who might be questioning their sexuality, or might have a gay friend or family member, or are bigoted about gays. For older kids and adults, read Eric's book, "Is It a Choice?" It covers the same ...             Together Forever2 reviews Eric Marcus Doubleday, 1998 Wonderfully affirming of lasting same sex relationships! Eric Marcus proves once again that strong, loving relationships between people, are the same regardless of the gender of the couple. This book was a pleasure to read because it gave an honest glimpse into the lives of couples who have spent many years loving one another in spite of a sometimes disapproving world. I found many of the comments and responses of the couples to be very touching. ...             The Art of Eric Carle4 reviews Eric Carle Hamish Hamilton Ltd, 1998 More than just pictures! I picked up this book, expecting to find essentially a picture book. However, this book is so much more...and it is lovely. The book begins with an introduction by Leonard Marcus, the children's book reviewer for Parenting Magazine and a well-known book critic and historian. Following this is an autobiography with many personal photos. I found the story of Carle's early years interesting: how he ...             Icebreaker: The Autobiography of Rudy Galindo10 reviews Rudy Galindo, Eric Marcus Diane Pub Co, 1997 Makes You Feel What He Is Feeling Rudy Galindo's autobiography ICEBREAKER is wonderful. Rudy's honest and vivid descriptions of his feelings make the reader cry and cheer right along with him. This book is an inspiration to anyone who feels that he/she is different. It is such an example of how anyone can reach his/her goal against all odds if they will work hard enough and never, never give up. Rudy Galindo is a true champion ...             Breaking the Surface34 reviews Greg Louganis, Eric Marcus Plume, 1996 Insightful and interesting. The reason that I first read this book was that I wanted to read a book written by a gay author. I knew nothing about Greg Louganis or the fact that he smacked his head during the Olympics. All I knew was that he was gay and was a swimmer. I checked it out from the library and ended up reading it in two days, which is a record for me because I procrastinate. Greg and Eric put together Greg's ...             Got to be Real: Four Original Love Stories129 reviews Lynn Harris, Eric Jerome Dickey, ... Signet, 2001 One story actually lives up to the title! While the short stories by E. Lynn Harris and Eric Jerome Dickey are interesting and indicative of the authors' places at the top of the best-selling lists, Marcus Major's "Kenya and Amir" is, by far the best of the lot. Beginning at the breakup of a relationship, the story then flashbacks to the beginnings of the love affair and the ultimate rift that tears apart the bond between the title ...             Out in All Directions: A Treasury of Gay and Lesbian America1 review Eric Marcus, Sherry Thomas Grand Central Publishing, 1997 A Contributor's Perspective Mine is only one of the stories told in Out In All Directions (Chapter 8, "No Room In the Closet For This Quilt"), and I am but one of more than 175 individuals who helped to make this literary mosaic possible. My story was a happy one--many others are not so happy. I am not a professional writer--though many of the pieces which make up this work were submitted by professionals. I am one man who ...             Out in All Directions: Almanac of Gay and Lesbian America1 review Lynn Witt, Sherry Thomas Warner Books, 1995 Factual and Fun! A much easier read than the almanac you remember from gradeschool. Packed with info on American gays and lesbians in the form of lists, reprinted essays, quotes, comics, legal decisions and artwork. Suprises every few pages. A gentle introduction to queer history and an eye-opening book for anyone who doubts that gays are everywhere.             Pessimisms: Famous (and Not So Famous) Observations, Quotations, Thoughts, and Ruminations on What to Expect ...7 reviews Eric Marcus Anova Books, 2007 Charming, witty, and the perfect antidote to the news The author, Eric Marcus, has does a great service with this. I loved the selections, and I really enjoyed his stories about his Aunt Ethel. Despite the title, these are not really pessimistic quotes. Most all the authors get the message across that life may not be easy, but we move on and get through it. Optimism via faux pessimism? Could be. This is one I really enjoyed.             Cyber Adversary Characterization: Auditing the Hacker Mind6 reviews Tom Parker, Marcus Sachs, ... SYNGRESS, 2004 Auditing The Hacker Mind Cyber Adversary Characterization is a topic which many of the books authors have been studying for a number of years.

The authors of Auditing the Hacker Mind and the members of the working group to which all authors of the book belong bring a vast amount of knowledge relating to ...             The Handbook of Conflict Resolution: Theory and Practice5 reviews Jossey-Bass, 2006 An Extraordinary Resource As someone who is interested in the field of Conflict Resolution, I found the book to be extremely helpful.

Among the topics covered in the handbook: interpersonal and intergroup processes, intrapsychic processes, creativity and change, culture and conflict, models of practice, ...             Why Suicide?: Answers to 200 of the Most Frequently Asked Questions about Suicide, Attempted S4 reviews Eric Marcus HarperOne, 1996 Excellent book on a sensitive subject I don't do much reading in psychology these days, although many years ago I completed a Master's and most of the coursework for the Ph.D. in psychology at the University of Calfornia. I ultimately decided not to pursue a career in it, so never finished the Ph.D., but at one time had an excellent background in the subject. Anyway, I happened to see this book in the psychology section of a local ...             ¿Se elige? 300 Preguntas y respuestas sobre la homosexualidad2 reviews Eric Marcus Random House Espanol, 2001 Una gran ayuda Este libro ha sido una gran ayuda para nuestra familia.
