Mellon Lectures in the Fine Arts)15 reviews Kirk Varnedoe Princeton University Press, 2006 Highly Recommended Pictures of Nothing is an important addition to my library. Currently completing my MFA, the lectures in this book have been both challenging and enlightening, broadening my understanding of contemporary abstract art. It is both a "cover to cover" read and a reference dipper. Written in an informed, passionate and sometimes humurous style Varnedoe's lectures are a joy to read. Well illustrated ...             The Greatest Thing Since Sliced Bread: A Novel32 reviews Don Robertson Harper Paperbacks, 2008 A joy to read I couldn't be more pleased that this author has written other books.

Herring Oxford University Press, USA, 2008 A Superb History of U.S. Foreign Relations by a Preeminent Historian "From Colony to Superpower: U.S. Foreign Relations Since 1776" by George C. Herring is a very thorough survey of American foreign policy with the usual high standards we have come to expect in the multivolume Oxford History of the United States. Without question, this series is the most ambitious undertaken since the "New American Nation Series" was published beginning in the 1950s. The author is ...             The Scribner Anthology of Contemporary Short Fiction: 50 North American Stories Since 1970 (Touchstone Books)4 reviews Michael Martone Touchstone, 2007 Great short story anthology There are so many anthologies, it's hard to convince people to buy more then one. But this collection really does include some brilliant pieces. If you don't have a stack of anthologies already, this one is worth the money. Almost every story is worth multiple reads. And no great short story writer is missing.             Postwar: A History of Europe Since 194566 reviews Tony Judt Penguin (Non-Classics), 2006 Men do more from habit than from reason Tony Judt's synopsis of European history from 1945-2005 is a masterpiece of historical research and narrative. To understand recent European history absent careful study of this book would require many years of in-depth research with numerous primary and secondary sources. I know of no comparable work, though the brief treatise by Volker Berghahn ("Europe in the Era of Two World Wars: From ...             Since Strangling Isn't An Option... Dealing with Difficult People -- Common Problems and Uncommon Solutions12 reviews Sandra A. Crowe Perigee Trade, 1999 SINCE STRANGLING ISN'T AN OPTION Very Helpful to me. Helps me relate/understand why I get annoyed with people because of my already-always-thinking process from my past. I have begun to hear other in a more understanding way...when I am in a good mood that is..some days, if I am not thinking I revert back to my other thinking and lose my patience..!             American Earth: Environmental Writing Since Thoreau (Library of America)5 reviews Library of America, 2008 An excellent collection of Nature writings: With over a hundred authors contributing and Al Gore's blessing, you cannot ask for a better collection of writings from some of the best minds around. After you get a taste, it will inspire you to seek out the full editions of the books. The Library of America series has always selected top notch authors and works; they also print the books on wonderful paper with sturdy bindings. The editor- ...             The One Percent Doctrine: Deep Inside America's Pursuit of Its Enemies Since 9/11135 reviews Ron Suskind Simon & Schuster, 2007 A thoughtful analysis that reads like a thriller This book covers the period from 9/11 to the 2004 election, ground that is by now pretty well-trodden. But reading it now, after the 2008 election passed the country's judgment on the flaws of the Bush administration, one is still struck by the gap between the government professionals in the CIA, FBI and State Dept, and the ideologues in the White House with their sweeping certainties. By the ...             The Force of Destiny: A History of Italy Since 17961 review Christopher Duggan Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2008 At 600 pages, this book is too short Professor Duggan has quite the tale to tell--the Risorgimento, its antecedents and its results, but more broadly, the intellectual themes and practical problems of the Risorgimento and how those themes and problems have affected the course of Italian history since 1796. Professor Duggan is obviously a master of his subject, which by itself would be a sufficient recommendation for this book. But ...             SINCE THE WORLD BEGAN: WALT DISNEY WORLD: THE FIRST 25 YEARS12 reviews Jeff Kurtti Disney Editions, 1996 Walt's World Walt Disney lives. No, I'm not talking about the urban legend about him being cryogenically sealed and stashed below the Pirates of the Caribbean exhibition. Nor is this some soft New Ageism about spirits inhabiting the celestial plane. He's alive down on a plot of land outside of Orlando, Florida, a boom city that was a dumpy little crossroad when Walt began buying what became a 30,000-acre ...             The Human Record: Sources of Global History, Vol. 2: Since 15005 reviews Alfred J. Andrea, James Overfield Wadsworth Publishing, 2004 History from the original source documents "The Human Record" is a collection of primary source documents veering world history from the beginning of written history to about 1500 AD/CE. The text provides context for the original source documents and it typically is used as a companion text for many world history textbooks at the secondary and university levels. "Human Record" includes sample questions which either the student or ...             Killing Hope: U.S. Military and C.I.A. Interventions Since World War II-Updated Through 200330 reviews William Blum Common Courage Press, 2008 The Best Reference Out The book does a great job showing the irony in the double-standards the US has used in its foreign policy since WWII, as State department officials confessed to (shown in the last chapter). This also makes for a more entertaining read than most other books on the topic. All together though, the book's use of these contradictions are just used to propel a central idea the author has, as stated in ...             The Anime Encyclopedia: A Guide to Japanese Animation Since 1917, Revised and Expanded Edition53 reviews Jonathan Clements, Helen McCarthy Stone Bridge Press, 2006 Essential reading This is essential for any anime person, newb or otaku. An in depth history of all anime productions and their creators from the very beginning up through about Y2K. Sorry to say, the two authors don't seem to care about anything made after the mid 90's. like other authors in this field, they seem to only care about anime from the "VHS tape sharing" days. Too bad.             Nation of Nations, Volume 2: Since 18652 reviews James West Davidson, Brian DeLay, ... McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages, 2007 Nation of Nations I was very pleased with the book that I received. It had a few delays coming but over all I was happy with the condition, and I have found nothing to be wrong with the book, and I will definitely order from this seller again!             What Was I Thinking?: Things I've Learned Since I Knew It All7 reviews Steve Brown Howard Books, 2006 Of all things, you're thanking your captor If you've ever heard the "Key Life" radio program, then you've probably heard the rich, authoritative, made-for-radio voice of Steve Brown, who is also a professor at Reformed Theological Seminary in Orlando, where his rich, authoritative, made-for-seminary voice has dispensed wisdom and knowledge to students for a number of years now --- and to his own congregation and countless audiences at ...             Nations and Nationalism since 1780: Programme, Myth, Reality (Canto)16 reviews E. J. Hobsbawm Cambridge University Press, 1992 Hobsbawm places nationalism in its historical context We ordered this book as a reading for our 'Old Curmudgeons Book Club'. The book club is made up of a small bunch of 'older guys', i.e. in their 50s and 60s. We get together once a month and disucss non-fiction books. We've been doing this for about 15 years now. The book has to have something important to say about the human condition. Since nations and nationalism play such an important role in ...             The Scribner Anthology of Contemporary Short Fiction: Fifty North American American Stories Since 197010 reviews Touchstone, 1999 Amazing. It's difficult to review a book with fifthy authors and their short stories. But I can tell you this: I read a lot of anthologies and usualy only a few stories are really good. In this Scribner Anthology however every single story is outstanding and to me that's extraordinary. Let me give you the list of the authors and their stories: Alexie, Sherman: This Is What It Means to Say Phoenix, ...             The Complete Book of Corvette: Every Model Since 19536 reviews Mike Mueller Motorbooks, 2006 The Corvette book of the year I own a C4 Corvette and try to buy every Corvette book that comes out. I was given a truly bad Corvette book for a Christmas gift this year ("Corvette: America's Sports Car: Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow" by Jerry Burton), a cheesy, vinyl-covered tossed-together collection of factoids and tired photography. I went out and bought this one myself. This is the book all Corvette owners should own. It is ...              search for books abstract, american, animation, anthology, complete, contemporary, corvette, difficult, doctrine, encyclopedia, environmental, expanded, greatest, ii-updated, interventions, japanese, lectures, military, nationalism, pictures, problems, programme, relations, scribner, solutions, strangling, superpower, thinking, touchstone, uncommon books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
