Last Flag Down: The Epic Journey of the Last Confederate Warship

25 reviews
John Baldwin, Ron Powers

Three Rivers Press, 2008

An unforgettable epic
My unqulifyed endorsement of this epic is no doubt predudiced by my personal adventures as an 88-year-old WW-11 haval officer. I can't recall ever being so completly captivated by the recorded adventures of the kindred spirit who passed on in the year of my birth-1920. The experience of being confined at sea for extended periods with disparate personalities will test the patience of any ...

John R. Powers

Loyola Press, 2005

Not everyone understands . . . .
The earlier posts which don't give high ratings are probably the ones who "just don't get" the Chicago way. Unless you grew up in Chicago or its surrounding suburbs, you won't find this book amusing. Several of my friends, self-proclaimed "victims" of the Chicago Catholic School system, greatly enjoyed this book. Unless you are high-brow or artsy to begin with, you probably won't understand or ...

Introduction to Tibetan Buddhism, Revised Edition

7 reviews
John Powers

Snow Lion Publications, 2007

Very good introduction
This is a very good undergraduate-level introduction to Vajrayana. It's well-organized, thorough without being too intimidating, and evenhanded. It really isn't a substitute for a teacher or time spent with a practice group, of course, but it'll help a newcomer make sense out of terminology and references.

Jigsaw cities: Big places, small spaces (CASE Studies on Poverty, Place & Policy)
Anne Power, John Houghton

Policy Press, 2007

This new book explores Britain's intensely urban and increasingly global communities as interlocking pieces of a complex jigsaw, which are hard to see apart yet they are deeply unequal. How did our major cities become so divided? How do they respond to housing and neighbourhood decay? "Jigsaw City" examines these issues using Birmingham, Britain's second largest city and pioneer of the modern urban order, as our strongest model of the drive to ...

A Concise Encyclopedia of Buddhism (Concise Encyclopedia of World Faiths)

4 reviews
John Powers

Oneworld Publications, 2000

short but thorough
This is an impressive pocket resource for Buddhism. Unlike some earlier reviewers, I did read it from cover to cover, and am very impressed. Powers' explanations of basic Buddhist concepts is very clear and straightforward. Of course in a work like this he had to be selective, but the range of entries is staggering, with good choices of what to include as most representative/interesting. He ...

Art for Travellers Italy: The Essential Guide to Viewing Italian Renaissance Art

2 reviews
John Power, Ann Morrow

Interlink Publishing Group, 2003

Art for Travellers Demystifys Complex Subject
I approached this book with some trepidation, since the Renaissance art of Italy is an enormous subject and all but the most intrepid travelers succumb at some point to museum fatigue. However, I was delighted to see that this guide gives very readable background information suitable for people with very little prior exposure to Renaissance art. At the same time it is authoritative and ...
