Essential Moon Knight, Vol. 2 (Marvel Essentials)

4 reviews
Doug Moench, Jack S. Harris, ...

Marvel Comics, 2007

Moon Knight is the Best
Its been a little more than a year since volume 1 came out, and I've found that volume 2 is as good or even better than the first one. The art continues to improve, and being in black and white just adds to the mysterious feel of Moon Knight. This volume contains issues 11-30 of the first run of Moon Knight comics, first published in the 1980's. It continues Moon Knights battles with the ...

Literatures of the American Indian (Indians of North America)

1 review
Frank Porter, A. Lavonne Brown Ruoff

Chelsea House Publications, 1990

brilliant and useful
This excellent book should be included in all "American" literature courses. Art and music and story telling, as well as traditional ceremony are elements in the incredibly diverse fabric of Native American literature. Of course a book of this length can hardly investigate specific Native American nations, but this is still a valuable work, by a brilliant and courageous scholar. White ...

The Global Business Leader: Practical Advice for Success in a Transcultural Marketplace (INSEAD Business ...

J. Frank Brown

Palgrave Macmillan, 2007

Very insightful
"The Global Business Leader" by J. Frank Brown is full of fantastic business advice -- from very complex ideas that will take years to master, to some very simple things you can do today. Brown's advice to "get a haircut" in a new country is just one example of how you should really entrench yourself in the cultures and ideas of others in this globalized business world. Brown peppers his book ...

The Fidget Factor Easy Ways To Burn Up Calories

Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2000

The Fidget Factor
I'm very glad I read the Fidget Factor. It was short, simple, and motiviating. Just reading through the different activities I learned that at almost every point in my day I can find opportunities to move, just a little more. I work 70-80 hours per week and have trouble finding time to exercise. Reading this showed me that there are many little things I can do to increase my level of physical ...

Good Taste, Bad Taste, and Christian Taste: Aesthetics in Religious Life

2 reviews

Oxford University Press, USA, 2000

O Taste and See
Good Taste, Bad Taste, and Christian Taste, by Frank Burch Brown, a slow read at first, evolves into a very reasoned and interesting look at how the church regards the arts, and how the arts regards the church. Do not be put off by the elitist sounding title of the book. Brown uses the word "taste" as "to savor" and "to experience" much as the psalmist does in Psalm 34:8. The title is ...

Essential Luke Cage/Power Man, Vol. 2 (Marvel Essentials)

1 review
Don McGregor, Bill Mantlo, ...

Marvel Comics, 2006

"Who is the man that'd risk his neck for his brother-man?" (Has it already been used?)
One of the good aspects of Mr. Cage (and I don't mean Nicholas, of course!!!) is that he doesn't want to be a world-saving superhero; although he wears a rather flashy costume and, sometimes, goes toe-to-toe with superheavies like "Dr. Doom" (but, then again, who hasn't had a run-in with him in the "Marvel Kingdon?"), he makes it quite clear that he's only trying to make a living, and, if he has ...

Cosmic Clocks: from astrology to a modern science

1 review
Michel Gauquelin

ACS Publications, 1982

A Fascinating Survey of Astrology and Biological Clocks
From back cover: "'The Cosmic Clocks' is a revealing study of both the genesis of astrology and modern science's exploration into the forces that control life. The author shows that the basic contradiction that would seem to exist between current scientific thought and the mystical interpretations of the universe is not so great as has been believed. People of old intuitively sensed that ...

Game Console Hacking: Having Fun While Voiding Your Warranty

6 reviews
Joe Grand, Albert Yarusso, ...

Syngress, 2005

Major Hacks for Game Console Machines
This is a fascinating, over-sized book that is filled with major hacks for various of today's video game consoles, including the Xbox, PlayStation 2, Nintendo NES, along with the Atari and Gamepark 32. The material assumes some degree of comfort with electronics and electrical engineering, although you do not of course have to be an electrical engineer to perform the hacks. You will need to be ...

The Mocktail Bar Guide: 200 Recipes for Safe and Sober Parties

Frank Thomas, Karen Lancaster Brown

Meadowbrook, 2001

Great for Kids and adults alike!
This amazing book far exceeded my expectations. For the past several years, on Saturday nights we have friends over, and take stabs at new drinks in various Alcoholic Beverages books. We prefer the ones that show the glass to be used to clear up any confusion. The problem of course is the Kids can feel left out of the party, and those "pretty glasses" often get replaced with our regular glasses ...

The Mental Health Professional and the New Technologies: A Handbook for Practice Today

Marlene M. Maheu, Myron L. Pulier, ...

Lawrence Erlbaum, 2004

The real missing manual
Dr. Maheu and her co-authors have done an astounding job in putting together this reference/guide/manual to the application of electronic technology in mental health. I cannot think of any issue that is not addressed. Topics range from voice recognition software to electronic record keeping, email to video conferencing, web-based client education to online clinical practice. Two chapters offer an ...

My First Book of Opposites

Janet Allison Brown

Brimax Books, 2002

This is the perfect book for those who don't believe in absolutes!
This is a fun book for youngsters who are just learning what opposites are. There are plenty of accompanying pictues so the concepts can be clearly seen. However, another fascinating use of this book is to show those mired in post-modern thinking that there really are absolute truths in life. "Big" is different from "small" and "over" is not the same as "under".

Investment Analysis and Portfolio Management

Frank K. Reilly, Keith C. Brown

South-Western College Pub, 2002

Solid Book on Investment Analysis
This is an excellent book on Investment Analysis and one of the best books recommended by the CFA Institute for its curriculum. I commend the authors for providing a solid foundation (chapters 1-9 on the Investment Background and Theory) before moving on to the heart of this book, namely security analysis (stocks, bonds and derivatives). This book succeeds in teaching material in a variety ...

The Corsican Brothers (Hesperus Classics)

7 reviews
Alexandre Dumas

Hesperus Press, 2008

A Pleasant Surprise!
As The Corsican Brothers is one of Dumas' less popular works (I'm not sure if I should call it a novella or a short story), I expected it to be fairly dry: either very historical or very travel-oriented. It IS travel-oriented, and one CAN see the travel writer incarnation of Dumas, but it is far from boring and does not lack for interesting characters. The brothers may not have the relentless ...

An Underground Life: Memoirs of a Gay Jew in Nazi Berlin (Living Out: Gay and Lesbian Autobiographies)

6 reviews
Gad Beck, Frank Heibert

University of Wisconsin Press, 2000

Breathtaking
Here is a memoire of life in Berlin during the Nazi regime from the perspective of a gay Jew. Gad Beck was an organizer and friend to many who lived illegally during that period, finding shelter and food and providing friendship and support. That he was openly gay was not important during that period - there were more important thiongs to worry about. I found this book at the bookstore of ...

Religious Aesthetics

Frank Burch Brown

Princeton University Press, 1993

More than for art's sake...
Before he found his way to my seminary, Frank Burch Brown was professor of religion and humanities at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University; while there, he did this interesting text on the theological ideas involving religious aesthetics. This text in some ways served as a foundation for his later award-winning work, 'Good Taste, Bad Taste, Christian Taste.' In this work, Brown ...

Perioperative Medicine

1 review
David R. Goldman, Frank H. Brown, ...

McGraw-Hill Professional, 1993

perioperative medicine
This is the only book dealing with this subject in the US, yet its subject is one that the practicing physician deals with on a day to day basis. The book is comprehensive and has an enormous clinical content. It belongs in the library of every practicing internist. We can only hope that, in the year 2000, a new edition is being planned.
