Performance: Richard Avedon
John Lahr, Andre Gregory, ...

Abrams, 2008

"We all perform. It's what we do for each other all the time, deliberately or unintentionally. It's a way of telling about ourselves in the hope of being recognized as what we'd like to be." --Richard Avedon, 1974 The preeminent stars and artists of the performing arts from the second half of the 20th century offered their greatest gifts?and, sometimes, their inner lives?to Richard Avedon.

This is a great book, if you want to read about Everett and his travels around the Southwest and the Grand Canyon and Lake Powell area.

If Mountains Die: A New Mexico Memoir

1 review
John Nichols

W. W. Norton, 2005

A beautiful, touching, and disturbing book.
New Mexico, and the Taos area in particular, has to be one of the most beautiful places on earth. John Nichols captures this beauty perfectly in his first of the Taos series, "If Mountains Should Die." Accompanied by heart-grabbing photographs, this book describes his first few years in Taos as a transplanted East-Coaster. Nichols not only captures the raw beauty of the land, but also the ...

On the Wild Edge: In Search of a Natural Life

Holt Paperbacks, 2006

Yarns of Naturalism
What a treat! I bought this from Amazon back when it first came out in hardcover, and it has resided on my to-be-read shelf all this time. We now have snow here and, in a wintry mood, I was prompted to pick this one up after finishing Vardis Fisher's excellent THE MOUNTAIN MAN and watching the Robert Redford movie based upon that book. What a dustjacket! It says here that Caroline Peterson, ...

Black Sun: A Novel

16 reviews
Edward Abbey

Johnson Books, 2003

You can almost smell the great outdoors...
An early Abbey work, Black Sun is a very good novel written in a style similar to John D. MacDonald only more alive, more real. Will Gatlin is much like Travis McGee, an imperfect fellow who has learned to live life on his own terms and makes no apologies for it. An entertaining read, this is one you won't want to put down until you've finished it.

The Milagro Beanfield War: A Novel

33 reviews
John Nichols

Owl Books, 2000

WWIII New Mexico Style
When Joe Mondragon illegally irrigates a puny beanfield, he starts WWIII and becomes the unwitting, reluctant symbol of this battle between the haves and the have nots. The book is absolutely hilarious with its wry yet rich descriptions of the people and the cultures clashing in Milagro, NM. But underneath, the end is near and everyone knows it, is resigned to it, but will fight to hold on for ...

A Concise Dictionary of Minnesota Ojibwe

5 reviews
John D. Nichols, Earl Nyholm

University of Minnesota Press, 1995

Superb
John Nichols and Earl Nyholm are two of the top linguistic experts on the Ojibwe language, and this dictionary is a collaboration between the two of them. It contains many words for parts of modern life (bemisemagak, "airplane," wiisiniwigamig, "restaurant," odaabaan, "car"), but also a wealth of terms for traditional aspects of Ojibwe life (zibaaska'iganagooday, "jingle dress," bagida'waa, "fish ...

St. Martin's Griffin, 2008

Tail End Charlies
Great read. My son is reading now. You get a new appreciation for what these young men did in WW II. The author relates so many great previously untold stories. As this generation of people passes, this book will become more important to tell their story.

On Yankee Station: The Naval Air War over Vietnam (Bluejacket Books)

8 reviews
John B. Nichols, Barrett Tillman

US Naval Institute Press, 2001

Required reading
This book on the naval air war over Vietnam should be required reading not only for all military pilots, but for every military and civilian official who is involved in planning strategy, tactics, or military weapon procurement. But don't get the idea it's a boring book; besides giving the reader a clear view of what happened in the air over Vietnam, the author makes his points in a very ...

Fundamentals of Oil and Gas Accounting (4th Edition)

1 review
Rebecca A. Gallun, Charlotte J., Ph.D. Wright, ...

Pennwell Books, 2001

Good Intro to Accounting for Energy Industry
I'm using this book for an Energy Accounting course. Though I have not yet finished going through it, so far has been a good source for those who wants to get an early exposure into the accounting side of the energy industry, especially oil and gas. With only basic knowldedge of finacial and managerial accounting that I took a couple of years ago, I find that the text is not too confusing to ...

The Genius of Impeachment: The Founders' Cure for Royalism

12 reviews
John Nichols

New Press, 2006

An Unimpeachable Source
When you take forever to read a book just over two hundred pages, you know you are reading a great book. When you take the time to highlight endless paragraphs and read them over and over again just to savor them, you know you are reading a profound book. It is not fiction; it is reality, and it is the story of impeachment from its creation in English law through its application under the ...

The Book of Druidry

9 reviews
Ross Nichols

Thorsons Publishers, 1992

Modern Druidic History
This book is a must-have not because of its many historical/archeological inaccuracies but because it was one of the first produced by someone in recent history proclaiming to be following a Druidic Way. No one truly knows what the ancient druids did or believed with any exactness. It's left up to Anthropology and its constant flux of theories in order to interpret archeological finds versus ...

Our Media, Not Theirs (Open Media Series)

John Nichols, Robert W. McChesney

Open Media, 2003

Out of The Margins
The key issue today is media reform. An aggressive and adversarial press is crucial to our democracy. Much of the apathy and disappointment that people express with the state of the world is due in no small part to the media. In my opinion, Americans have always been somewhat self-absorbed and apathetic. Also, there is really no such thing as "objective" journalism. Never was, and unlikely ...

The Sterile Cuckoo (Norton Paperback Fiction)

17 reviews
John Treadwell Nichols

W. W. Norton & Company, 1996

Excellent romantic novel !!
"The Sterile Cuckoo" is an excellent romantic novel based on first love during college. It is a story that should be read by people who want to know or remember how college love was including fights, surprises, kissing, making out, parties, alcohol, and sex. John Nichols writes about these two characters that meet and change the rest of their life, using events that can resemble the life of ...

The Last Escape: The Untold Story of Allied Prisoners of War in Europe 1944-45

13 reviews
John Nichol, Tony Rennell

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2004

Covers a lot of stalags in one book, unique.
Nichol's project here is ambitious. Arthur Durand wrote about 400 pages on Luft 3 alone. Here Nichol covers all the Stalag and Stalag Luft camps in as much detail as he can in a limited 400 page space. There is good defintion in the differences between each of the marches of Stalags that were put on the road, January,1945, in Germany's worst winter in a century, in order to prevent POWs from ...

The Magic Journey: A Novel

8 reviews
John Nichols

Holt Paperbacks, 2000

An extraordinarily written book
John Nichols is perhaps one of our best contemporary writers, and it's a shame that he isn't more prolific and more accessible to the general reading public. He uses language like poetry, and his characters jump off the pages with their idiosyncracies. There are good guys, bad guys, and everything in between. Here, Nichols explores the subject that seems to most interests him, namely, the ...

The Nirvana Blues: A Novel

4 reviews
John Nichols

Holt Paperbacks, 2000

"Nichols is the best American author since John Steinbeck"
A gripping American novel "The Nirvana Blues" captures the richness of the late 20th century. Nichols creates characters that nearly rival Steinbeck's Doc and the entire Joad clan. Nichols excels in both humor and human compassion. You don't know whether to laugh or cry. He is by far one of the best writers to come out in the last 30 years, "The Nirvana Blues" should be considered required ...

Stephen J. Nichols

Crossway Books, 2004

Historical Theology/Biography with Plenty of Application!
A God Entranced Vision of All Things is a wonderful look at the legacy and relevance of Jonathan Edwards life and teachings. John Piper and Justin Taylor have assembled (and also contributed to) a remarkable series of essays on the different aspects of Edwards' legacy. As the back of the book declares: "This book's contributors investigate the character and teachings of the man who preached ...

I haven't been able to read through this book . . .
I wanted to review this book; unfortunately, an Argentinian (I'm not making this up), wanted to read it, and it appeared to have disappeared when I last wanted to find the book again. If Amazon.com has any copies, perhaps they can send me another one?
