Bad Boy: The Life And Politics Of Lee Atwater

12 reviews
John Brady

Da Capo Press, 1996

"The Godfather of Spin"
About the political life of Lee Atwater, "the godfather of spin," this book details Atwater's political strategies, from managing local races to running Bush's 1988 campaign. Woven into the biography are valuable lessons about campaigning -- information that they don't teach you in college. Though many disagree with Lee Atwater's personal -- and political -- life, it shouldn't dissuade you from ...

The Good Life

John Brady

Town House, 1996

Evocative Irish Mystery
Brady's Irish voice sings throughout this emotionally charged mystery. He paints a picture of Irish society at every level and draws his characters so deftly you think about them long after you've read this book. Every character feels real: the police, the villains, the victims and the witnesses but Minogue is especially well drawn.

Diplomacy Lessons: Realism for an Unloved Superpower

10 reviews
John Brady Kiesling

Potomac Books Inc., 2007

Incredible and uncommon insight into today's international system
Mr. Kiesling is of course famous for his notable letter of resignation at the beginning of the latest Iraq adventure after which he left a 20 year career as a diplomat. Hearing the backstory of his departure alone would have been interesting enough reading. But, surprisingly, that story is only the introduction to the real book. Diplomacy Lessons ends up being a tour-de-force about the ...

Diesel Engine and Fuel System Repair

John F. Dagel, Robert N. Brady

Prentice Hall, 1997

Fantastic educational tool
This book is great at giving general knowledge that you can use on any diesel engine. I have done quite a bit of tinkering with gasoline engines and needed to learn specifics about diesels so that I could work on my own tractor and bull dozer. I'd already bought the manual on the dozer. It had lots of specific information about my dozer but overall was very difficult to understand. I couldn't ...

Frank B. Brady, 1985

Helpful!
I was born with a Cataract in 1971 which wasn't removed until I was 7 years old in an out of town hospital (due to the fact that the doctors in my area who were not educated in Cataract surgery in infants.) From birth, I did not have vision in my right eye. I was introduced to this book by my Ocularist when I received my scleral shell for my eye in 1996. (Yes, yet another doctor in my area that ...

All Souls

John Brady

St Martins Pr, 1993

A Literary Police Procedural
Readers who enjoy Henning Mankell, Peter Lovesey and Magdalen Nabb should try John Brady. Brady's books have several things in common with these other very fine and unique writers: intense, suspenseful mysteries grounded in a sense of character and place. All Souls has the emotional impact of a Mankell with the humor of Lovesey and the sense of place that Nabb brings. In this one Minogue goes ...

Inspirations For Your Awakening: A New Vision of The Ancient Book of Changes

2 reviews
John Dunne-Brady

AuthorHouse, 2004

Truly Inspiring.
Truly inspiring. John Dunne-Brady has plumbed the core meanings of the hexagrams, and at the same time brought the I Ching into the 21st century. I have been casting hexagrams regularly for 40 years, and never before found a version to compare with the Wilhelm-Baynes translation. Until now. Dunne-Brady's Book of Changes is radically new in its organization. The hexagrams are put in digital ...

Kaddish in Dublin

John Brady

Harpercollins, 1991

Characters so real you feel you've met them in the pub
John Brady has captured the real Dublin in all his, unfortunately too few, books. Warts and all, the place and the people come alive in a way that few authors can match. Inspector Matt Minogue is one of the most interesting, complex and real characters ever to inhabit any book. John Brady is a national treasure and should be revered as such.

Mira Tweti, John Lee Parish

Parrot Press, 2007

Fabulous Book! Accurate, informative, and entertaining about Parrots in the WIld and Captivity!
MIra Tweti is an award-winning animal welfare journalist whose focus is parrots and this book is based on years of research. It's a "must read" as the OC Register reviewer said and no one should miss this great story. Tweti's in depth research and knowledge about parrots shows! It's accurate down to the backgrounds which are of mountains in New Guinea, to the facts about Lorikeets, to their ...

Haunter of Ruins: The Photography of Clarence John Laughlin

2 reviews
Jon Kukla, Andrei Codrescu, ...

Bulfinch Press and The Historic New Orleans Collection, 1997

an overlooked photographer, was ahead of his time
This book probably does more than any other to get inside the strange mind of Clarence John Laughlin. This is Southern Gothic at it's height. Best known as a documentor of crumbling plantation homes, Laughlin himself believed he was documenting something else indeed; he felt the camera can record the psychic impressions and nuances of the spirit world, which permeated the sites he photographed. ...

John Brady Kiesling

Tigran Mets, 2001

The Best Guidebook on Armenia I've Read
Hands down, the most extensive and exhaustive guidebook ever written on Armenia. If you into knowing where every attraction is in Armenia, this is the book to get. There are detailed directions down to the number of paces it takes to get to out of the way places such as churces, monuments, temples, and the like. You won't be disappointed. Avoid the Lonely Planet guidebook on Armenia... Also ...

Five Lost Years: A Personal Exploration of Schizophrenia (Literature of Patient Response)

4 reviews
Christina Alexandra

Dry Bones Press, 2000

Very Good
Christina is a beautiful and gifted writer. The chapters are short and she recalls the horrid experiences of her psychotic episodes, yet at the same time, she tells stories of some aspects of the episodes that in hindsight make you smile. She is forthright and frank about her experiences with a man she had been "in love" with. I am proud of this book because as a schizophrenic myself, living in ...

Will the Real Me Please Stand Up? (So We Can All Get to Know You! : 25 Guidelines for Good Communication)

6 reviews
John Powell, Loretta Brady

Thomas More Pr, 1985

Who am I?
First of all, I must warn you not to pay attention to the reviewer from San Jose... they are either brain dead or have not read the book (I'm sure it's the latter), because this book has already changed my life perspective with reading only the first few chapters. I have never said that about a book and I have hundreds in my library. I have been a fearful person for most of my life... fearful of ...

Chemistry

James E. Brady, John R. Holum

John Wiley and Sons (WIE), 1993

Ideal for the autodidact
More than 25 years ago I took general chemistry in college and then never had a need to use the skills and knowledge...until recently. Now having made a bet with a colleague that I could pass an Organic Chemistry course on the first attempt, I don't intend to lose. I determined that I needed to tune up my general knowledge of chemistry. I checked out several college level texts from local ...

Shot by Shot: A Practical Guide to Filmmaking

2 reviews
John Cantine, Susan Howard, ...

Pittsburgh Filmmakers, 1995

excellent resource filmmaking basics
Consider this book the idiot's guide to moviemaking, which is why it's used in many beginner production classes. It's a thorough technical basics manual that no filmmaker should be without. (The 3rd edition focuses an entire chapter on digital editing.) Not only does it outline the proper way to film your Oscar-winner, it also explains why and how your equipment or shots function. There are ...

John Brady

McArthur & Company, 2000

Suspenseful and smart.
Reading a writer for the first time and loving it is a wonderful thing. Knowing that the writer has more books out there is better. Knowing that several of those books are among a series centered around the same fully-developed character featured in the book that grabbed your attention in the first place, is as good as it gets. John Brady is a first-rate writer who deserves more attention; "A ...

The Craft of Interviewing

8 reviews
John Joseph Brady

Writers Digest Books, 1976

If you're an easily offended woman, you are not a journalist
Funny, I don't remember the parts about batting eyelashes and such. This book covers the fundamentals of interviewing and pre interview research. I found the book to be a useful tool for conducting interviews, and think that it would be very helpful to beginners. I am a nurse turned free lance writer, and the techniques and tips for securing interviews were helpful to me. I particularly liked ...

Materials Handbook

George S. Brady, Henry R. Clauser, ...

McGraw-Hill Companies, 1996

Materials Handbook (15th Ed.)
The "Materials Handbook" (15th Ed.) is now one of my favorite reference books. The variety of materials that it documents is pretty amazing. This is a great book for the scientist, engineer & layperson alike. A reader can quickly find the basic description & properties for alloys, elements, non-metallic substances, plastics, wood, liquids, etc., etc. If you can name it, it's probably in this ...
