It touched on the rich and the poor, where they lived, where they worked, how they spent their leisure time, what life was like for the children, what they wore, what they ate, etc. It conveyed a lot of information in an easy, etertaining style. ...

100 Years of Lynchings11 reviews
Ralph Ginzburg

Black Classic Press, 1996

Still Relevant Today
I read this book back in 1967, when I was a young teen, first entering high school. It made a profound impression upon my and life and was one of the reasons I choose my line of work. For me it was a telling story of state sanctioned terroism against African Americans. While we all lament citizen to citizen crime, especially at the alarming rate we see today, we must not forget the crimes ...
  
  











  



  
Spark Notes 100 Years of Solitude442 reviews
Gabriel Garcia Marquez, SparkNotes Editors

SparkNotes, 2002

dazzling panorama of life & death, love & loss, energy & dissipation
I first read this 33 years ago, while in college, and was utterly wowed at the sweep of these stories, all interlinked yet standing on their own. I was studying the classics - and in particular, oral history - so this was doubly fascinating as a streaming narrative of magical realism. Having re-read it for the first time, I was again astonished at the life and complexity on every page: you ...

Expensive. I purchased this book as a text for an undergrad class at ASU. Very comprehensive. If it was not required for the class, I would not have paid this price.
  
  











  



  
100 Years of Song: 1900-19991 review

Hal Leonard Corporation, 1999

excellent selection
This book provides a song for each year of the 20th century and most, if not all, have good choices. It is the perfect addition to any pianist's library with a lot of variety. I didn't even know all of the songs in the book, so it was fun to learn them and play them.
  
  











  



  
Russian Century:, The: A Photographic History of Russia's 100 Years2 reviews
Brian Moynahan

Random House, 1994

My Russian wife was stunned by the photographs.
I literally read this book twice. And as I turned the pages and saw breathtaking after breathtaking photograph and read the journalist's history of Russia, I kept reminding myself that this is not fiction. This books makes one pause and ponder ... a very long time.
  
  











  



  
My First 100 Years!8 reviews
R. Waldo McBurney

Leathers Publishing, 2004

Amazing and Inspiring
Mr. McBurney's life has been a long and interesting one. I was especially impressed with the fact that his father lived 40+ years after his first stroke in part because of his doctor who was ahead of his time in his treatment. The author was wise at a young age to see that it might work for him, too. Faith, exercise, fresh fruits and vegetables, with a bit of honey - it's really quite simple. ...

Vee Narayan, Jim Wardhaugh, ...

Industrial Press, Inc., 2007

Lessons Learned
I have written numerous maintenance and reliability books myself and when I first took a quick glance at the book I did not see the real value in it until I sat down and read it. What these authors did was take their real world experience and join knowledge to make a great book. If you are experiencing anxiety in your plant or just curious how to make your operation run more efficiently I highly ...
