From this first sentence of the seminal 1961 book The Death and Life of Great American Cities , Jane Jacobs gave voice to those who believed the bulldozing, postwar policies of urban renewal were a dangerous threat to city life. She spent the next forty-five years challenging citizens to stand up for vibrant, mixed-use, pedestrian-friendly neighborhoods such as New York's ...

All Things Bright and Beautiful30 reviews
James Herriot

Macmillan Audio, 2004

Yet another instant classic
Is there anyone who read ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL and who didn't rush right out and buy this one next? I didn't think so. I gave the first one a rave review, and rightfully so, but somehow I don't recall enjoying it as much as I did this one. He's an amazing talent on so many levels. Read the real reviews by the real reviewers. They're all true. This man lived in the moment, and he enjoyed ...

The Lord God Made Them All2 reviews
James Herriot

Macmillan Audio, 2005

Reviewing The Lord God Made Them All
I ordered the audio version, which I really enjoyed listening to, especially with British (Yorkshire) accent of the actor. I have always enjoyed the James Herriot books, except for his free use of profanity. Otherwise, it was very enjoyable listening. 		  
  







  
  
America's National Park Roads and Parkways: Drawings from the Historic American Engineering Record (The Road ...1 review

The Johns Hopkins University Press, 2004

Great coffee table book, as well as professional library item
Absolutely beautiful book with some of the best documentation of park design anywhere. Note to publisher: the glued-on illustration on the front of the book was pasted in upside-down. While this may make it very valuable in the future, it is somewhat disconcerting! 		  
  







  
  
Vet in a Spin
James Herriot

Chivers Word for Word Audio Books, 2000

James Herriot, strapped into the cockpit of a Tiger Moth trainer, feels rather out of place, but he hasn't found a new profession and it surely won't be long before the RAF come round to his point of view. James Herriot's sixth volume of unforgettable memoirs sees him dreaming of the day when he can rejoin his wife, Helen, little son, Jimmy, veterinary partner, Siegfried, the eternal student Tristan - and all the old Darrowby crows, both ...

Rebels & Devils : The Psychology of Liberation13 reviews
Timothy Leary

New Falcon Publications, 2001

A Nudge Toward Self-Understanding
Rebels and Devils is a collection of literary forms, from essay to comic, dealing with the psychology of liberation. Standing alone, it is overwhelmingly inspiring at times, always thought-provoking, and seldom dogmatic. The point of this book can be as simple as an interesting read, or as grand as an eye-opening experience. Rebellion is a personal voyage, so this book does not call for any type ...

The New Gatekeepers: Emerging Challenges to Free Expression in the Arts
Amy Adler, Carol Becker, ...

National Arts Journalism Program, 2004

Disputes over free expression in the arts have always loomed as struggles between creativity and repression, transgression and outrage, candor and hypocrisy. But while high-profile shootouts at art museums and less visible skirmishes at schools, libraries, and theaters persist, overt censorship is no longer the only, or the most dire, threat to free expression. On the one hand, society has become more accepting of provocative imagery, with media ... 		  
  







  
  
Tensor Geometry: The Geometric Viewpoint and its Uses (Graduate Texts in Mathematics)6 reviews
Christopher T.J. Dodson, Timothy Poston

Springer, 2000

Good introduction
I agree with previous reviewers, and only wish to add a few comments: 1. This book assumes very little on the part of the reader, which makes it ideal for beginners, as long as they're mature readers. 2. Like many books out there, everything in this book is real and finite dimensional, which is a bit disappointing. 3. It's not as advanced as the writers or reviewers would like to think. For ... 		  
  







  
  
A Wittgenstein Workbook By Members of the Department of Philosophy, The University of Leeds1 review
Christopher Coope, Peter Geach, ...

Univ of California Pr, 1970

Wittgenstein Workbook by CHristopher Coope
Very helpful guide to a very perplexing philosopher. Wittgenstein is almost impossible to read without a guide. Cooper attempts to provide this guide by outlining the key themes Wittgenstein covers in his masterworks. The work itself is more of a bibliography of addtional readings which clarify areas of Wittgensteins theses rather than a exposition of these areas directly and demands having ...

All Things Wise and Wonderful16 reviews
James Herriot

Macmillan Audio, 2004

Definitely a classic
The third book in the series and you know exactly what to expect. Yes, folks, it is every bit as entertaining as the first two, and that's probably all you need to know. But I'll go ahead and mention that he spends some time in the RAF during World War II, which we knew he would as the second book ended. I'll also mention that he and Helen have a baby, which you probably expected. One of the ...
