Not a Genuine Black Man: My Life as an Outsider

5 reviews
Brian Copeland

MacAdam/Cage, 2008

Excellent in so many ways
This is an excellent book in so many ways. Copeland does a great job keeping the book personal and universal at the same time. Anyone (Everyone?) who has ever felt different will be able to relate to the stories he tells, for the stories are really about being the outsider, not just being a member of a minority race. The book is divided up very well - short chapters that relate specific ...

Copeland, a San Francisco Bay Area TV/Radio celebrity, comedian, and author, is an excellent story ...

The Scarecrow Press, Inc., 2003

Search behavior explored and compared to the natural world
A quirky but very useful and well-written book about the information search process and its analogs in the world of natural selection and evolutionary adaptation. There are essays about submarine chasing and skip tracing by Brian O'Connor -- not the usual dry stuff of academic texts on human search behavior. At the same time, there is a strong (and well-cited) intellectual underpinning to ...

Then there was the recent sale of Hummer to a Chinese construction equipment ...
