Storm Boy3 reviews
Paul Owen Lewis

Tricycle Press, 2001

A classic, beautiful book
People will be framing the artwork from this book fifty years from now. And it's one of my son's favorite books. Great for reading aloud, one of the books you keep reaching for. A classic story, well told and beautifully rendered with images that are faithful to the actual traditions and styles of the Haida and Tlingit people. So it's not just "mind candy" -- it's an introduction to a ...
  
  











  



  
World of the Cell, The (7th Edition)11 reviews
Wayne M. Becker, Lewis J. Kleinsmith, ...

Benjamin Cummings, 2008

Misguided Reviews- I loved this book
I know that Cell Biology is a difficult subject to master, so there will always be shortcomings in a textbook's ability to communicate the subject in an understandable fashion. However, I thought this book was awesome. I followed the text entirely. I loved the fact that this text was an introductory text and didn't assume that the reader has previous knowledge of the subject. The authors ...
  
  











  



  
Lewis.Tsurumaki.Lewis: Opportunistic Architecture5 reviews
Paul Lewis, Marc Tsurumaki, ...

Princeton Architectural Press, 2007

One of the better monographs in some time.
If you are a fan of LTL's work, this monograph covers the vast majority of their work to date. Every project is presented by both good photography and/or the hybridized graphics LTL has become know for; as well as explinations as to how and why each was developed. While this is the typical format for an architectural monograph, it's not the main reason I am giving this book a high review. Ten ...
  
  











  



  
Addiction & Recovery for Dummies8 reviews
Brian F., PhD Shaw, Paul, PhD Ritvo, ...

For Dummies, 2004

Forget the title-This is a really smart book!
The title of this series always turns me off--so formulaic and usually simplistic. But this book is different! The format is simple and the material is presented in the clear, crisp and easily readable style typical of this series but this book is also truly wise, practical and compassionate in its approach. There is up-to-date information on medications, the physiology of addiction, treatments ...
  
  











  



  
Frog Girl3 reviews
Paul Owen Lewis

Tricycle Press, 2001

Frog Girl Promotes Divergent Thinking Skills and Compassion
The story is easy to read aloud and the illustrations are rivetting. I bought this for my three-year-old son, but find myself using it as a teaching tool in my second grade classroom, as well. It is very similar to a story my grandparents (Quinault-Cowlitz/Coast Salish) used to tell me when I was growing up. The message about taking care of all our relations is an important one. The story ...
  
  











  



  
Pamphlet Architecture 21: Situation Normal (Pamphlet Architecture)3 reviews
Paul Lewis, Marc Tsurmaki

Princeton Architectural Press, 1998

a primer to tactical thinking
While the pencil provides a compelling graphic for the authors, their method of representation is not the point (I think they've moved on to renderings at this stage, anyway). LTL discusses the advantages of TACTICS over STRATEGIES. Strategies rely heavily on an overall structure, while tactics are much more agile and fluid. Although definitely not the only architects to promote a situationist ...
  
  











  



  
Analysis and Design of Analog Integrated Circuits (4th Edition)25 reviews
Paul R. Gray, Paul J. Hurst, ...

Wiley, 2001

not for novice!
It's a very good book but I think you need to have some knowledge of integrated circuit design and analysis before discovering this book.
  
  











  



  
The Architectural Pattern Book: A Tool for Building Great Neighborhoods1 review
Urban Design Associates, Rob Robinson, ...

W. W. Norton & Company, 2004

Not just a house, design a whole neighborhood
Most of us like architectural books because we think, or possibly just dream of building our own ULTIMATE house. Here, however, is a book not on building a house, but on building an entire neighborhood. It starts with a bit of history, the pattern books written in roman times. It brings them up to date with a survey of several American neighborhoods dating from turn of the century times. And ...
  
  











  



  
Current Diagnosis & Treatment in Family Medicine (Current Medical Diagnosis & Treatment in Family Medicine)4 reviews
Jeannette South-Paul, Samuel C. Matheny, ...

McGraw-Hill Medical, 2007

Excellent Book
I love all the Current series of books. I have used them for years. They give me the information I need to know and leave out all the fine details that might be valuable for the academics but only get in the way when you are practicing out in the trenches (real world).

Davy's Dream: A Young Boy's Adventure With Wild Orca Whales3 reviews
Paul Owen Lewis

Tricycle Press, 1999

"Davy" brings back my dreamlike days in the San Juan Islands
While this is an inspiring story to encourage kids to "follow their dreams," what attracts me back to this book are the illustrations. As a native of Washington State, I spent my youth attending summer camp on Orcas Island, in the San Juan Islands, near the Canadian border. While at camp, we sometimes experienced "Killer Whale" sightings, which the counselors used to enjoy frightening us with. ...
  
  











  



  
Guerrillas and Generals: The Dirty War in Argentina2 reviews
Paul H. Lewis

Praeger Paperback, 2001

The one book you should read about the Dirty War
I have studied the Argentine Dirty War for over 20 years, and if I were to recommend one book to anyone to read on the subject it would be this one. There are two things that Lewis does which really set this book apart from the literature on the subject so far. First, Lewis describes and makes sense out of all of the background starting with Peron that led up to the Dirty War. This really helps ...
  
  











  



  
Towards the Understanding of Karl Marx: A Revolutionary Interpretation1 review
Sidney Hook

Prometheus Books, 2002

A Classic of American Marxism Returns
Here after decades of supression we have an updated edition of a classic work of American Marxism. This was the book that gave Hook his reputation as this countries most original Marxist thinker in the 1930's. Rejected by the Communist Party USA as revisionist for his pragamatist/Marxist co-mixing, Hook eventually became a dedicated Cold Warrior and refused to allow this book to be reprinted. (He ...
  
  











  



  
Cracking Up: American Humor in a Time of Conflict2 reviews
Paul Lewis

University Of Chicago Press, 2006

probably the best book on the subject
There is something both refreshing and disturbing about the fact that Jon Stewart's fake news show does the best job of reporting political news. One can have years of academic training in political science, read or skim five newspapers a day, and then turn on the evening news to discover that Brian Williams or Katie Couric have completely missed -- or misrepresented -- the most important story ...
  
  











  



  
P. Bear's New Year's Party!3 reviews
Paul Owen Lewis

Tricycle Press, 1999

A fun book that makes readers & counters out of everyone!
This is a book to teach counting, but it is more than that, in just being plain fun! Numbers are displayed in quantities, in a clock, in words and their varieties. The characters are terrific!
  
  











  



  
The Politics of Ethnicity: Indigenous Peoples in Latin American States (David Rockefeller Center Series on ...

David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies, 2003

The indigenous people of the hemisphere have resisted a five-hundred-year assault, fighting to maintain their cultural identities. During this time, authorities in the Americas have insisted that the toleration of indigenous societies and cultures would undermine their respective states. In recent years, however, the nations of the Americas have started to reverse themselves. They are altering their constitutions and proclaiming themselves ...
  
  











  



  
Mirrorshades: The Cyberpunk Anthology14 reviews
Greg Bear, Pat Cadigan, ...

Ace Books/Berkley, 1988

Best Collection For the Genre
This is simply a fantastic collection of the best stories of my favorite literary subgenre, the Cyberpunk Movement in the 1980s and early 1990s. While I may not like William Gibson and Bruce Sterling, I am not ignorant when it comes to their importance in popularizing and shaping the genre. Also here are Rudy Rucker, the acting grandfather of the genre; and Pat Cadigan, the Queen of Cyberpunk ...
  
  











  



  
The Chronicles of Narnia: Audio Drama (Focus On The Family Radio Theatre, A Limited Edition of the C.S. Lewis ...1 review
C.S. Lewis

Focus On The Family, 2003

Absolutely wonderful! A must-have for long road trips
My wife and I found this set while browsing a rummage sale this past spring. At first, I was disappointed when I realized I bought a radio drama rather than an unabridged reading. When we popped in the first CD, I was still unsure, but I was soon drawn in by the excellent character acting and voice work. Our children were enthralled as well. These have been our companion on every long road ...
