books by Paul Thompson     books:       Faces Pressed Against The Glass: Black Folks Caught Between Chaos and the Cosmos (6 cassette Tapes)2 reviews Dogon Publishing, 1998 Paul Thompson gives an unfiltered view of African-Americans. Insightful, new angles and completely honest and unfiltered views of the current status of African-Americans, Paul Thompson's Faces Pressed Against the Glass is the first book in 30 years that gives views of African-American culture in terms not chosen by the media or the majority culture. I particularly appreciated Thompson's unique phrasing and his willingness to tackle black subjects that ...             Performance and Fault Management (Cisco Press Core Series)2 reviews Paul L Della Maggiora, James M. Thompson, ... Cisco Press, 2000 Incredible I am certainly not a professional but found this book very informative. The writing was "reader friendly" but, of course, having a computer and being networked certainly are not enough credentials to fully understand the nuances of this book. I highly recommend this book for people "in the business."             The Gospel of the Redman (The Library of Perennial Philosophy. Spiritual Classics Series)4 reviews Ernest Thompson Seton World Wisdom, 2005 A "bible" for the spiritually advanced Alternate title?: "Pocket guide for mystics" In this little volume, written generations ago by one of the founders of the much-maligned-lately Boy Scouts, we find great wisdom about our relationship with the earth and "God" (whatever you choose to call Him/Her/It.) Seton was an intense and noted student of American Indians. The very un-PC title's use of Redman reflects his times. ...             Called Out With: Stories of Solidarity2 reviews Westminster John Knox Press, 1997 Companion Piece This is a wonderful book from the straight-allied point of view to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered ordination rights in the Presbyterian Church (USA). Yet it is meant to be a companion piece to an earlier book published by Chi Rho Press entitled Called OUT: The Voices and Gifts of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered Presbyterians, edited by Rev. Dr.Jane Adams Spahr. Shouldn't ...             Bottlenose Dolphins (World Life Library)3 reviews Paul Thompson, Ben Wilson Colin Baxter Photography Ltd, 1994 Learn about the bottlenose dolphin. Unlike so many other books about dolphins this book focuses only on the bottlenose dolphin. It gives the reader a basic idea of the life of this species and includes a lot of interesting facts about them. The authors are not writing down second hand info but are both researching these dolphins off the coast of Scottland. Instead of having school book like anatomical drawings and graphs ...             The Up And Down Life: The Truth About Bipolar Disorder--the Good, the Bad, and the Funny (Lynn Sonberg Books)3 reviews Paul E. Jones, Andrea Thompson Perigee Trade, 2008 an amazing book as a register nurse, i found this book to be very informative and not too "medically speaking" overwhelming. As a young women who has had to fight her own demons, it was truly heartfelt and eye opening. mr jones does an amazing job helping outsiders see the true depth of depression and the soaring highs of mania. he is truly a stright shooter, not making excuse or placing blame on past ...             Professional Access 2000 Programming3 reviews Robin Dewson, Scott Hanselman, ... Peer Information Inc., 2000 Professional Access 2000 Programming Professional Access 2000 Programming is a combination of a training book to heighten your programming skills, and a reference work that will give you a complete overview of Access 2000 and it's related programming environment. It's written in the traditional Wrox style that is so easy to read and usable for developers. One thing I do miss, is the usual Wrox opening statement where it is ...             Elizabeth Rex2 reviews Timothy Findley, Paul Thompson Blizzard Publishing, 2001 One of the most haunting plays ever written... In 1601, Queen Elizabeth I was forced by duty to condemn to death a man widely believed to be her former lover. On the night before the execution, she demanded that William Shakespeare's acting troup, The Lord Chamberlain's Men, perform a play to distract her from the heartbreak that would occur in the morning. This much is truth. Timothy Findley takes these historical facts, blends in a few ...             A Companion to American Fiction 1865 - 1914 (Blackwell Companions to Literature and Culture)3 reviews Wiley-Blackwell, 2005 A Truly Valuable Reference Work This is the best overview of the period that I have yet seen. Not only does it contain very interesting, erudite, and well-written essays on the leading figures of American realism, but it also has splendid thematic chapters on issues like race, gender, the city, the short story, and regionalism. Although the price is a little daunting, the quality of this work is undeniable. The bibliographies ...             The Littlest Gun: Sixteenth-Century Physician, Botanist and Traveler5 reviews Paul L. Thompson AuthorHouse, 1999 The Littlest Gun I thoroughly enjoyed this book which I purchased in Idaho Falls, Idaho. Being a woman living in the Southwest, having a true love of the wide open spaces, guns and westerns that do not cover the same old territory already visited by thousands of writers, this book was tops with me. I felt the feelings of the main character, Janice McCord, and could ride along with her on her trail of revenge.             A Mother's Wrath1 review Paul, L. Thompson JADA Press, 2006 A Mother's Wrath I am the author of this and several more novels sold on Amazon. Every location used in my novels are true. I was born and raised in the southwest and years and years of research went into all my novels. I hope you enjoy reading my novels half as much as I enjoyed writing them. Paul L. Thompson             The Cry of the Humble: Vignettes from a Life Well Lived1 review Blackmore & Blackmore, 1998 Time filler This book, the Cry of the Humble, is written with a purpose. It wants to be a compilation of different and short subjects. Who has time to read 600 page books and, besides the other daily rememberances, to be able to recall what you have read yesterday? This book treats most every situation one can meet in life in short recall. Put the book in your grip, read a couple pages while waiting for ...             Narrative and Genre: Contexts and Types of Communication (Memory and Narrative)1 review Transaction Publishers, 2004 Greatly Helpful book! This is brilliant book for those who are interested in narrative research methods. The problems of narrative and genre are described/addressed in a complete and highly professional way. Strongly recommended for those interested in social scineces/ women's/gender studies/history etc.             Altman on Altman1 review David Thompson Faber & Faber, 2006 A Fascinating Career When I thought of Robert Altman before reading this book, I typically thought of him as a "Seventies" director who had had a few hits in recent years. This book shows how limited that view of Altman was. It is a wide-ranging interview that covers Altman's career from his stint as an extra in "Secret Life of Walter Mitty" (!!!) to directing "The Company." He talks about his involvement with ...             The Agrarian Roots of Pragmatism (Vanderbilt Library of American Philosophy)1 review Vanderbilt University Press, 2000 A great contribution to pragmatist and agrarianist thought The Agrarian Roots of Pragmatism gathers some of the best minds in American philosophy around a single theme: the relationship between pragmatism and agrarianism. The first half provides an excellent introduction to agrarian thought, its history, and its contemporary (and possibly future) relevance. The second, assuming a greater familiarity with the pragmatic tradition, limns the relationship ...             Bluetooth Application Programming with the Java APIs (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Networking)1 review C Bala Kumar, Timothy J. Thompson, ... Morgan Kaufmann, 2003 Perfect mix of Bluetooth and Java My prior knowledge about Bluetooth can be described with one word-superficial. Therefore, I hail the authors for making a brave move. The book is not just an introduction to the Bluetooth Java APIs but also an introduction to the whole Bluetooth architecture and terminology. The fact that a lot of space is used to explain the underlying protocols specified in the Bluetooth specification can be ...             Emotionally Battered Parents: Coping Strategies for Parents of Behaviorally Challenging Children1 review James Stewart, Paul L. Thompson, ... Booklocker.com, 2002 Emotionally Battered Parents: Copoing Strategies for Parents This is an excellent book for parents and lay people. I have a son who is schizophrenic and as I read the book, I found myself saying "AMEN!" on nearly every page. While it holds no miracle cures or magic wans (never found a book or counselor or teacher or anyone who could come up with those...), this book certainly lets parents know that they are not alone in their struggle! Tamara S. Hacker ...             The Edwardians: The Remaking of British Society1 review Paul Richard Thompson Indiana Univ Pr, 1975 An illuminating study of Edwardian society For Britons, the first decade of the 20th century was one of great change.
