Geisha: A Unique World of Tradition, Elegance and Art

14 reviews
John Gallagher

PRC Publishing, 2003

Real geisha
Memoirs of a Geisha is a poorly written and pathetic work that somehow became a Best Seller and is now an equally pathetic film which only goes to show that anyone with the right connections gets things published and can make a movie. However it has shown people something about the orient and has caused interest in the subject of these women. This book is certainly a good result. It is ...

The Century of Bach & Mozart: Perspectives on Historiography, Composition, Theory & Performance (Isham ...

Harvard Department of Music, 2008

For many today Johann Sebastian Bach and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart stand as towering representatives of European music of the eighteenth century, composers whose works reflect intellectual, religious, and aesthetic trends of the period. Research on their compositions continues in many ways to shape our broader understanding of eighteenth-century musical thought and its contexts. This collection of essays by leading authorities in the field offers ...

The John Cheever Audio Collection

John Cheever

Caedmon, 2003

Tough Material in First Class Performance
Let nobody fool you with adjectives about Cheever's fictional voice -- elegant, supple, crisp, resonant. Yeah it's all that, but if you have not encountered him before, you will be thinking in other terms -- unsparing, discomforting, perhaps even unforgiving. But listen to all these discs through, arranged from early stories to later -- through a variety of fine professional voices ending with ...

Nunn's Chess Openings (Everyman Chess Series)

27 reviews
John Nunn, Joe Gallagher, ...

Everyman Chess, 1999

Good reference on the openings
There are basically two popular 1 volume opening reference books, "Nunn's Chess Openings" and "Modern Chess Openings". I have heard many opinions as to which is better. I personally think that each has their individual strong points as to accuracy (I like Nunn better) and better coverage of more of the major openings (I like MCO better). So my advice? Get both and have the best of two worlds. If ...

Africa and the Victorians: The Official Mind of Imperialism

3 reviews
Ronald Robinson, John Gallagher, ...

Palgrave Macmillan, 1978

When expansion was positive
The Victorians had an expansive spirit. Most people believed in restricted government and free trade. Expansion seemed inevitable. The main engine of expansion was enterprise. Their trade associations were mostly with Europeans transplanted abroad. The idea of Africa moved British statesmen to act. The continuity of Victorian leadership ws remarkable. The ends of Livingston and Gordon ...

Battle of Brooklyn 1776

6 reviews
John J. Gallagher

Castle Books, 2003

Brooklyn under siege, 1776
In spite of one or two glaring mistakes in John Gallagher's book, BATTLE OF BROOKLYN, 1776, the author has provided us with a glimpse into a little known confrontation that had an enormous impact on our nation. When most people think of the significant battles of the Revolutionary War, they think of Bunker Hill, Saratoga, Yorktown, or Trenton. But New York City, and Brooklyn specifically was the ...

Galaxies in the Universe: An Introduction

2 reviews
Linda S. Sparke, III, John S. Gallagher

Cambridge University Press, 2000

Good, but not great
This book is a little dense and its homework problems are especially confusing because of the poor framework laid out to solve them.

Ralph R. Roberts, John Gallagher

Collins, 1999

It's the little things that count.
I sold Real Estate in the Detroit Metro area back in 1978, it was a tough market back then, left Real Estate for an Engineering position after two years. I have worked for this company that follows every business fad that comes along. Seven years ago we re-engineered and we Engineers had to be jacks and/or jills of all professions (Marketing, Accounting, Engineering, Administration etc....). ...

The New Traveler's Atlas: A global guide to the places you must see in your lifetime

1 review
John Man, Chris Schuler, ...

Barron's Educational Series, 2007

Credible or not?
The image of one of the grandest views in Yosemite, a double page (pp.12&13) spread of Tenaya Canyon seen from Olmstead Point, is printed BACKWARDS!! Where were the editors and proofreaders when this travesty rolled off the press?? Why did the author not recognize this?? (I'm closing the cover now, and looking no further .....)

The Complete Writings of Joseph H. Pilates: Return to Life Through Contrology and Your Health - The ...

1 review
Joseph H. Pilates, Romana Kryzanowska

Bainbridge Books, 2000

pilates & contrology
This is the most complete and accurate book to entail the essence of what Joe Pilates wanted to accomplish with his brand of movememnt and exercise. In addition, I was able to find more of his exercises not utilized by my teachers or training as a pilates instructor. I believe that this will be a welcome addition to any library.

Break Free: From the Lusts of This World

1 review
Steve Gallagher

Pure Life Ministries, 2001

A Profound Wake-Up Call for the Church!!!
Steve Gallagher lovingly takes off his gloves in this book, and he's paid the price to do it. Based on the book of Revelation, he explores the churches in the early part of the Book of Revelation and compares them to our modern time. Other authors have made efforts to do the same, but Steve speaks from a different venue. You shouldn't be put off by the title of the book - Breaking Free from ...

AIA Detroit: The American Institute of Architects Guide to Detroit Architecture

5 reviews
Eric J. Hill, John Gallagher

Wayne State University Press, 2002

The definitive guide to Detroit Architecture
Thoroughly researched, this book is a must have. Patterned after the W. Hawkins Ferry book I had decades ago as a student, this book updates and adds significant content about the rich architectural history of Detroit. The writeups are informative from both a building and historical context. I loved the descriptions, such as from the Guardian Building (my favorite), "a lightning bolt of spirited ...
