books by Thomas Dunne Books     books:       Days of Infamy47 reviews Newt Gingrich, William R. Forstchen Thomas Dunne Books, 2008 Well Written This is not one of my favorite authors. His first novel was more like a comic book than a work of Alternate History but my brother disagrees with me in regards to this fellow's work. My brother is something of a fan of his and loaned me his copy of this novel and his preceeding work Pearl Harbor. And I must confess these works are very good. A bit dry for my tastes in literature and rather loaded ...             State of Emergency: The Third World Invasion and Conquest of America245 reviews Patrick J. Buchanan Thomas Dunne Books, 2006 American Pie to be Cut into 6 Billion Pieces Disclaimer: I am not the Mike Ferry who wrote the book listed on Amazon "How to Develop a Six Figure Income in Real Estate" (paperback Nov. 1, 1992). But I think that I shall put it on my wish list. Consider: Jamiel Shaw Jr. (age 17) was gunned down March 2, 2008 near his home allegedly by an illegal alien 18th Street gang member just 24 hours after the killer's release from an L.A. County ...             Day of Reckoning: How Hubris, Ideology, and Greed Are Tearing America Apart61 reviews Patrick J. Buchanan Thomas Dunne Books, 2007 Alarmist? We'd Better Hope So. Pat Buchanan's is a rare voice, one that refuses to tote a party line, and instead seeks to grapple with some rather irrefutable facts. While I plan to do further reading from other perspectives on those aspects of the book I found most interesting or difficult to swallow, I thought it was a very lucid presentation. As with most of his recent books, he criticizes our government (and those in a ...             Sleeping Arrangements8 reviews Madeleine Wickham Thomas Dunne Books, 2008 Madeleine Wickham does it again! Each new release by Madeleine Wickham (or Sophie Kinsella, for that matter) excites me to no end. I have read nearly all of her novels and have never been disappointed. Although this one ends differently than I anticipated, I still had a hard time putting it down, just like all the others. Can't wait for the next one!             How to Be Invisible: The Essential Guide to Protecting Your Personal Privacy, Your Assets, and Your Life ...55 reviews J.J. Luna Thomas Dunne Books, 2004 A must read for everyone I read the silliness written by "Miss Deplume" and shook my head. It is wrong and ignorant at best and I hope the thinking person will see this shoddy review is FAR outweighed by the postive comments. We review our book regularly and are slowly instituting measures that provide us with more security. And let's face it---in this day in age there is one person and one alone who is watching out ...             Will Write for Shoes: How to Write a Chick Lit Novel8 reviews Cathy Yardley Thomas Dunne Books, 2006 Absolutely perfect guide to creating an absolutely perfect novel! If you're even wondering if you should spend some of your hard-earned cash on this book, rest assured that the answer is yes, yes, yes!! Will Write For Shoes is a valuable addition to your library, and thoroughly covers the details of the chick lit genre. Cathy Yardley defines it, gives a history of it and fills readers in on the new trends. Just when you are ready to get to working on your ...             The World Without Us233 reviews Alan Weisman Thomas Dunne Books, 2007 The World Without Us Excellent book. Full of information on what we are doing to our environment and food for thought as to possible solutions. Definitely not a scare tactic treatise like many environmentalist-type books tend to be, but a honest look at where we've come from, and where we're going. Things look OK and manageable. The things we've made will take a long time to disappear. The things that we've thrown ...             Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day: The Discovery That Revolutionizes Home Baking153 reviews Jeff Hertzberg, Zoe Francois Thomas Dunne Books, 2007 Be a wild and crazy breadmaking rebel Wow! I'm amazed that this quick and easy technique can produce such delicious and beautiful bread. Using their basic recipe, I've made peasant-style loaves and incredible baguettes. The baguettes were particularly noteworthy because they required almost no effort. In the past, I've struggled with trying to create a worthy baguette. Now I have a new method that is not fussy at all and makes ...             Ancients: An Event Group Thriller (Event Group Thrillers)4 reviews David Golemon Thomas Dunne Books, 2008 fun over the stratosphere gripping thriller In 13000 BCE much of the world is united behind warriors like Herkulus and King Jason to fight the superpower Atlantis. When the combined might of the enemy began to win, the desperate rulers of the City of Light unleashed a secret weapon of mass destruction called the Wave. However, the ensuing earthquakes and more proved out of control; in three minutes ten millennia of civilianization ...             Up Till Now: The Autobiography44 reviews William Shatner, David Fisher Thomas Dunne Books, 2008 The Shatner I Never Knew I have never seen a complete episode of Star Trek. I have no appreciation for the show, its characters, or anything else about it. So why would I read a book by the man who made a fortune being Captain Kirk? It was a gift because I'm a huge fan of Boston Legal. And, I'll admit, I wasn't all that excited about reading this book. But no sooner did I start it than I was hooked. There is a ...             State of Confusion: Political Manipulation and the Assault on the American Mind7 reviews Bryant Welch Thomas Dunne Books, 2008 Robert L. Welker, Psychoanalyst Bryant Welch's recent book, State of Confusion: Political Manipulation and the Assault on the American Mind (2008) Thomas Dunne Books, provides a compelling psychoanalytic framework for understanding the collective mental pathology driven by current sociopolitical machinations. He describes three "battleground psychological states" (paranoia, sexual perplexity and envy) that are manipulated in ...             The Impact Zone: Mastering Golf's Moment of Truth34 reviews Bobby Clampett, Andy Brumer Thomas Dunne Books, 2007 The Impact Zone If you have trouble reading The Golfing Machine (TGM), you need to have this book - it is a fabulous read for any golfer and compliments TGM with a basic approach!             Urban's Way: Urban Meyer, the Florida Gators, and His Plan to Win1 review Buddy Martin Thomas Dunne Books, 2008 Victory, on the Field of Life This is not one of those typical chronicles of a special season that delves about as deep as speeches at a booster club confab. Author Buddy Martin - in this authorized biography - delves into the life of Urban Meyer and produces an excellent exploration into what may have appeared to be an open-field scamper from the mid-level head coaching ranks to leading one of the most storied programs in ...             The Writing Class15 reviews Jincy Willett Thomas Dunne Books, 2008 A perfect literary mystery One reviewer complained that the novel turns into a whodunit, and that is true. So if you do not like that kind of thing, you won't like this book. If you do, however, this is perfection of the genre. I was spellbound from the first class. I used to teach writing at a Community College, so I really identified with the main character and her mixture of dread and sincere desire to teach. ...             The Book of Mychal: The Surprising Life and Heroic Death of Father Mychal Judge1 review Michael Daly Thomas Dunne Books, 2008 A National Hero Daly, Michael. "The Book of Mychal: The Surprising Life and Heroic Death of Father Mychal Judge", Thomas Dunne Books, 2008. A National Hero Amos Lassen Father Mychal Judge became a hero after his death. He died while he was helping victims at the World Trade Center after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. He was the chaplain for the New York City Fire Department and he soon ...             Clawing at the Limits of Cool: Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and the Greatest Jazz Collaboration Ever Farah Jasmine Griffin, Salim Washington Thomas Dunne Books, 2008 Amazon Best of the Month, August 2008 : Throw on the legendary LP, Kind of Blue , and the genius of Miles Davis and John Coltrane sings with the first note. Right away, both men establish their styles within the warm, confident tones of " So What ," setting the stage for an album that has sold over 3 million copies to date. Clawing at the Limits of Cool explores this early symbiotic relationship and how two mavericks went on to rewrite the ...             Until Proven Innocent: Political Correctness and the Shameful Injustices of the Duke Lacrosse Rape Case74 reviews Stuart Taylor, KC Johnson Thomas Dunne Books, 2007 The devastating results of totalitarian 'liberalism' Perhaps the clearest picture of the insidious forces of illiberalism that tried their best to deprive these young men of their freedom is obtained by drawing analogies with the McCarthyism of the 50s, as the authors do. It is frighteningly easy the way some people can change from persecutee to persecutor in such a short time. What is just as worrying is that this illiberal bloc that has ...             Make Love the Bruce Campbell Way64 reviews Bruce Campbell Thomas Dunne Books, 2005 Make Love!!! The Bruce Campbell Way Love'n the Bruce!!!! This book made me laugh so hard I had to buy a copy for my brother-in-law who turned me on to Evil Dead,And Bubba Hotep.             Rose Bowl Dreams: A Memoir of Faith, Family, and Football8 reviews Adam Jones Thomas Dunne Books, 2008 Can I get an Amen? Where else can you mix Shakespeare and football, Bloody Caesars and longnecks, playbooks and hymnals? Adam Jones weaves a lyrical tapestry out of what is essentially many large men fighting over a pigskin, and you don't even notice when the action moves from the kitchen to the stadium to the church and back again. That God is a pretty funny guy, too.             Fire-Breathing Liberal: How I Learned to Survive (and Thrive) in the Contact Sport of Congress12 reviews Robert Wexler, David Fisher Thomas Dunne Books, 2008 Fire-Breathing Liberal I didn't THINK I was going to like this book, because of the title, but I'm so glad that I did read it! This man gives a good analysis of why things don't get done in Washington. This man also gives me hope that maybe people will wake up and get rid of those who are there doing nothing. We need more people like Wexler in Congress.
