Barbara Stanwyck: A Biography 2 reviews
Al Diorio
Coward Mc Cann, 1984
A FLAWED, BUT FAIR MINDED, BIOGRAPHY
DiOrio's intentions are good, and he does the best he can considering that he received no cooperation from Stanwyck's friends and closest colleagues. Thus the author is forced to rely primarily on the countless articles written about the actress over the years. The problem is, these articles were usually written carelessly, with the "facts" often in conflict ---- or even made up out of ...

Mel Bay Jazz Blues Styles (Book/CD Set) 1 review
Joe Diorio
Mel Bay Publications, Inc., 2001
a rewarding/maddening book
I picked up this and two other diorio bks in a recent spendfest. I wasn't familiar with him as a musician, and he comes off a little jimmy bruno-y, but good and thankfully not quite as technically overbearing as bruno. anyway, ironically, I'm a technically proficient jazzer wannabe with a brass fixation and vague charlie parker/mingus leanings. also a little denny dias mixed in. what a player ...

Little Girl Lost: The Life and Hard Times of Judy Garland1 review
Al Diorio
Manor Books, 1975
Not Bad for a Kid
As a teacher of English, I'm familiar with the way college age students write. Al DiOrio created this tribute to Judy when he was exactly that age. It's warm-hearted, uncritical and -- from what I've read in any number of works on Judy since her death -- a little book that she definitely would have loved. It would be interesting to know what the author is doing now, almost 30 years after this ...

Rabbi Rocketpower and the Mystery of the Missing Menorahs - A Hanukkah Humdinger! ("Rabbi Rocketpower")4 reviews
Rabbi Susan Abramson and Aaron Dvorkin, 2007
Rabbi Rocket Power is GREAT!
I think that Rabbi Rocket Power was an amazing story. It was the perfect sized book for a quick fun read. It was hilarious-- for all ages. It was for kids but any age could enjoy it. Its even great for kids just getting into chapter books. The illustrations were terrific - they added humor to the story. I liked the character of the cat and the whole cat story line. He is a cool funny ...

Beyond "e": 12 Ways Technology is Transforming Sales & Marketing8 reviews
Stephen Diorio
McGraw-Hill, 2001
A marketing book of real substance
Having taught a variety of marketing courses at the undergraduate, graduate and executive levels, I am always looking for books that present the ways in which new technology (and the Internet in particular) are affecting market relationships. Often these texts are full of exaggerrated "war stories" or can be easily summarized into a few general points. Steve Diorio's book, in contrast, is ...

Later the Franciscans promoted devotions to these sites and and made the practice of procession every Friday ( 3 P.M). Here a priest takes you through these stations; every station is explained in a chapter with narrative text; ...
