Story of a true good American
Since 1971, I have been a fan of Joan Baez, whose anti-war songs I liked, and still like. At the same time, I had a friend who was a fan of Bob Dylan. Often, when I visited my friend, we would first play Joan Baez and then Bob Dylan. (Unfortunately, my friend died in 2004.) He and I were knowledgeable in folk music and soft rock. At one point,in the late 90's, I asked him if he knew of a good ...

MLK "A Knock at Midnight" Sermon Series Review...
The sermon series is awesome!!! Each sermon has an introduction that gives the listener valuable tidbits about the sermon. You can feel the effect of MLK's powerful oration abilities. All of the sermons are still relevant today and anyone who has a pulse can benefit from listening to the set.

"Make your own music,write your own books,if you want to keep your soul."
"Tell a man what he may not sing,and he is still half free, even all free,. But tell him what he MUST sing if he never wanted to sing, take up his time with it so that his true voice cannot sound even in secret--there,I have seen, is slavery." Pete was born in 1919,started Harvard in 1936,and because it could not hold his interest,he began a lifetime of Folk Music. There was nothing more ...

Fantastic erotica not for children
I wonder if the good folk at the end of the 19th century when this poem was originally published were just too obtuse to understand the gist of Rossetti's work; if so, we have an innocent artifact that has evolved into something erotic because of our twentieth century sensibilities (we have dirtier minds than our compatriots from the past). Don't let the word "erotica" scare you away. This is not ...

Great book for beginners and intermediate skilled modellers
Even though the book was written in Europe (it refers to some materials, which are hard to find in the U.S.), its quite useful and well written. I consider myself an experienced scratch builder, but I found a lot of useful information, building techniques, and construction ideas in this book. Highly recommend to everybody using foam in the airplane construction.

A Not so Dirty Pet
The princess gets a pig for her birthday but the queen doesn't like it. The queen thinks it's dirty. This book is about figuring out ways for the queen to like the pig. I think this is a very, very funny book, because there are three pictures of poo-poo. I am 9 years old and I found this very easy to read.

To really get to know the Beale Street Blues Boy...
Wow, I just finished reading this biography and am truly satisfied with my reading. It's been a long time since I read a book this refreshing. Talk about honesty, passion and heart. The last 3 chapters were especially entertaining, talking from the heart about issues generally left untouched. From page one, I couldn't put the book down. This book really helps you understand B.B's live ...

James David King is a Brave New American Voice
Dionysus Logged Out By James David King Review by Pi Ware James David King's debut novel, Dionysus Logged Out, is a compelling and heart-breaking work of fiction. It renders all the desperation, emptiness and profound sexual desire of our teenage years so faithfully that the reader can't help but feel transported back, body and soul, to those awkward years. King's book is set in the ...
The Commissar Vanishes: The Falsification of Photographs and Art in Stalin's Russia
15 reviews
David King, 1997
A rare gem
A true gem of a book, dealing with a subject that is much overlooked. As the inspiration for Orwell's 1984 revising history, it is a chilling look at early Soviet attempts to rewrite history by erasing people from photos. Watching a photo of 5 men dwindle down to a picture of one as the others are disgraced, imprisoned, killed and then erased is just mindblowing! Whether you are a fan of ...

Trememdous book by a tremendous photographer
In my opinion this coffee table book is the one by which all others should be judged. Gleason is one fine professional photographer who needs to expand into yet more regions on this same subject of old plantation homes

Well written and referenced....
I used this book for a CTUonline.edu class and have found it to be very well written. I am already familiar with how the e-commerce world works, but for those that are not, it does a great job of explaining just about everything. Plenty of website references and case studies so that you understand HOW businesses are implementing various e-commerce strategies.

Sophie is better than Junie B. Jones!
If you love Junie B. Jones you should love Sophie's escapades. If you like books your child can relate to, but want words and grammar to be correct examples of the English language, then you will love Sophie. There are times that Sophie uses a 4-year-old's way of spelling but as she gets older she corrects her mistakes. Dick King-Smith uses several phrases that may be less familiar to ...

What _Vampire_Lestat_ *wanted* to be, yet hadn't the guts!
Fiercely viscious, with a nearly-humanist subtext, BLYTHE pounds away the effeminate, androgynous millstone from the neck of the vampire mythos. In an incredibly cinematic visual feast of nearly 200 pages, I was engorged with the film-noir delicacy of this book. I encourage anyone interested in truly SMART comics and graphic literature to buy, enjoy and share it. Egret Snow - Dubuque Daily ...

Great description of Computer Program Design technique.
King's step-by-step description of the Jackson Program design method is the clearest such description I've encountered. This book should be required reading for all actual and would-be computer programmers. The technique covered can be used in all programming environments and builds a strong basis for solving all types of programming problems. King's writing style renders a difficult ...

View of the Big Easy
This is a beautifully photographed tribute to one of the unique American cities. Though the book was first published in the 80's the pictures still resonate. New Orleans went through a building boom during this time so most of it's best modern buildings are represented along with all the historic ones. I loved the views of the Quarter, you just never see it this way, even from the top of the ...

The Lonely Planet guides are excellent for any locale..but this edition (covering Italy, Spain, Greece, France, Portugal and even Morocco) is a must-read for the quintessential backpacker jumping on a plane for Europa. These guides excel at recommending lodging of many price ranges (from youth hostels to 5-star hotels) and meal choices of the same range (excellent recommendation for outdoor ...
