The Place No One Knew - Glen Canyon on the Colorado

7 reviews

Gibbs Smith, Publisher, 2000

A heartbreakingly beautiful book
These photographs are just about all that is left of Glen Canyon. After the Sierra Club and other environmentalists had lost the battle to prevent the Glen Canyon River Dam from being built, Eliot Porter took this extraordinary series of photographs to memorialize the gorgeous area that has been lost forever. Few people at the time knew much about the Canyon. It was too remote, too difficult ...

Interesting Reading
Just watching the episodes of LOST on the TV, it's sometimes difficult to understand just what's going on, but after reading this book, and being able to read about LOST in black and white, alot of things are much more clearer to me now, and have helped me understand things I didn't understand before. I enjoyed reading it and would reccomend it.

The Man Outside

Wolfgang Borchert

New Directions Publishing Corporation, 1971

It was like that.
Borchert did not write for us. He spoke for the dead, the victims of a war they did not begin and neither wanted to win nor lose but to simply stop immediately. His love was for the victims, his hatred for those who lived on as if nothing ever happened. His work is the cry of a devastated generation returning to devastated cities inhabited by devastated people. After the war Borchert had only ...

Global Environmental Politics: Second Edition (Dilemmas in World Politics)

3 reviews
Gareth Porter, Janet Welsh Brown, ...

Westview Press, 1995

I have read them all and this is the best
Recently, I needed to learn a great deal about global environmental issues and global environmental politics in a short period of time. My assistant went and bought more than two dozen books - edited volumes, easy readers, detailed analyses, text books, etc. I surveyed them all and read most cover to cover. This is by far the best. It gave me the essential information in a very readable and ...

Internet Culture
David Porter

Routledge, 1997

The internet has grown in recent years from a fringe cultural phenomenon to a significant site of cultural production and transformation. Internet Culture maps the contours of this new domain of language, politics and identity, locating it within the interconnected histories of communication and the public sphere. Neither a user's guide to the Net nor a futuristic manifesto, Internet Culture offers instead a critical interrogation ...

Lost's Buried Treasures

Sourcebooks Trade, 2007

The Ultimate Resource Book For LOST Easter Eggs
This is probably the best book written about Lost and the many easter eggs embedded in the show. Reads much like the Lost wiki, you can easily look up a book or movie reference from the show and get a general idea of what it is all about. I recommend this guide above all others for serious Lost fans.

A Photographic Guide to Birds of Israel and the Middle East (Photoguides)

1 review
Richard Porter

New Holland Publishers Ltd, 2000

Useful but limited photos; near clone of another book
Basics: 2000, softcover, 144 pages, color photos of 252 species, no range maps As a note, this book is remarkably similar to Birds of Egypt and the Middle East by the same authors. These two books cover 85% of the same species. Not only are the same species shared, but so are many of the same photographs. Of the 252 birds found in each book, only 37 are unique. Thus, using either one of ...

Piero Camporesi

Polity Press, 1989

An incredible tour of hungry Europe -- Hell, really
This scholarly and amazing book ranges through pre-modern Southern Europe, focussing not on aristocrats but rather on ordinary folk: peasants, city-dwellers, and the many beggars and poor people of Italy and to a lesser degree, France. Camporesi posits a startling theory: Europeans lived in various ongoing states of "collective vertigo," hallucination and illness brought on by starvation or the ...

Linear Algebra Gems: Assets for Undergraduate Mathematics (Notes Series, Volume 59)

1 review
Charles Johnson

Mathematical Assn of America, 2002

If you need some small sparks of new material in your linear algebra classes, this is the book for you
Years ago, I taught the two-semester calculus sequence for several years in succession. While that made it easy and routine for me to present the topics in lecture, I also recognized the potential for becoming stale in focus. It is easy to repeat yourself year after year, after all your audience changes, so there will be no complaints. In order to avoid this "rusting in place", it is necessary ...
