Interesting
This book is very different. It is a travel book yet it touches upon history and brainwashing of African Americans and how travel to Africa can change the brainwashing. I love Africa so this book did not directly concern me but people who have a bad image of Africa should buy this book. This book is not what I expected but it was a pleasant surprise. This book will make a Black person not be ...

FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!
This book is incredible! I picked it up to do a high school project about six years ago and I still sit down and flip through it once a week. This book has kept me interested in classic movie stars and their lives. Jean Howard was an actress and was married to Charles K. Feldman, a producer. However, she eventually became a photographer and was able, because of her insider status, to get ...

This Book Rocks
I first bought Working With Words in 1991 as a journalism student at University of Missouri, where the authors are profs. This book is as responsible for preparing me for my current job as section editor at a major metropolitan newspaper as was any class I ever took. Executives, assistants, sales reps -- anyone who needs to write and speak like an intelligent human being -- should own this ...

Medieval Mystics In Person
Julian of Norwich is only one of the medieval mystics who attempted to record the unspeakable, that without words, the mystical experience. This book is a record of what she dictated of her experiences, her "showings" of Christ and her relationshp with Him. It gives us insight into the workings of a medieval woman's mind and soul, and into the nature of mysticism itself, something beyond what ...

One from the Heart
As editor Eric J. Wittenberg expands his library of Custer-related works, they continue to improve on the already growing collection of first-person accounts of the "Boy General's" Michigan Cavalry. As the preeminent biographer of Brevet Brigadier General James Kidd, Wittenberg provides readers with a sense of "being there," and inescapable feeling that they are sharing a fireside chat with a ...

Beautifully Written, Brutally Honest
The Question is, without doubt, the single best argument against torture under any circumstances. It is a brutally true and personal account of a man caught up under the circumstances beyond his control during the Algerian War of Independence. It was a time when the French, desperate to maintain control over Algeria, had allowed its army to use torture in order to obtain information about its ...

Gorgeous and Nightmarish
The book consists of a collection of very high quality reproductions of James Jean's illustrations, and they are certainly beautiful works. The images are printed on thick stock, and the book is large enough that pages could be mounted in a picture frame comfortably (indeed, the book appears to have been designed with this in mind). A few larger works are printed on fold out pages which might not ...

I don't even read graphic novels...
I have never read a graphic novel before this one, and I rarely read the comics in the sunday paper, so my experience with illustrated stories for older audiences is fairly limited. I have a thing for re-written fairy tales, and the beginning of this book looked very promising, so I crossed my fingers and hoped it would be a wise choice to purchase. It was. It is such a fast and interesting ...

An upbeat look at down.
This the third book I have bought of Alex MacLean's stunning aerial photographs of the American landscape. The other two, `Look at the Land' (1993) and `Across the American Landscape' (1996) were lovely to look at but this latest book with 430 photos is excellent. MacLean captures the changing American scene beautifully and in pin sharp detail. Unfortunately, none of the photos are dated ...

Self-Organization in Biological Systems

Real, practical studies of self-organization in biology
Many books containing theory upon theory about self-organization in the biosphere have appeared in recent years. This book could be an important catalyst towards putting more of these theories to the test. While it has long been recognized that self-organization could be important in biological systems, many of these studies are computational models only. Many are very convincing, but unless ...

recognition of one of mystery greats
Almost fifty years ago, highly successful jockey Dick Francis left horse racing to write mystery novels that in many cases used his former occupation as a milieu. Over the next four plus decades, genre fans continually loved his works that have led to multiple awards including a life achievement and grandmaster status. When his companion, his beloved wife Mary died a few years ago, Mr. Francis ...

An absolutely brilliant book
This book is as timely now as when it was first published in 1944. It presents a brilliant summary of what modern physics does and does not say about the nature of the universe in which we exist, in the context of the historical development of physics and the corresponding developments in philosophy. Even better, it is written using language that is accessible to anyone, whether or not they ...

The Mysterious Universe
This text was published in 1931, after the fall of Wall Street, when people were feeling uneasy about world tensions and a faltering economy. Much like today! Jeans was a famous scientist and thinker, which comes through his work like a beam of golden light. I'm usually attracted to the arcane, the esoteric, but this text held my interest and then some. Jeans develops his ideas in the following ...

A Goldmine of Bell Information!
The Book "Sir Robert Bell and His Early Virginia Colony Descendants" is a most throughly researched tome. It is a well written history of this clan of Bells. There are dozens of interesting Maps, Charts, and Photos that augment the history. The time line, "Bell Britain-American History, 1520-1790", is helpful relating a time in history with various Bells on both continents. This book has ...

A great thing to have if your child is using the math journal
A great thing to have if your child is using the math journal and the homework sheets. It is worth the money to have this reference on hand instead of going to the website and "try" to find the applicable materials and then dealing with printing them and such. This has helped expotentially in my child's knowledge of the material he is required to know in 5th grade. We are very happy we ...

from United Methodist Connection
"Building Up Zion's Walls by James Perkins is a great book for pastors and parishoners in churches looking to develop ministries committed to uplifting the black family. It is targeted to the African American church and community. However, I believe it is an effective tool for those serving or worshiping in cross-racial appointments as well. The book attracted my interest for two main reasons. ...
