The Face of Our Past: Images of Black Women from Colonial America to the Present

13 reviews

Indiana University Press, 2000

Beautiful pictures, beautifully captioned
This is a marvelous and moving selection of visual moments, carefully chosen and elegantly captioned. It is refreshingly free of the stuffily convoluted prose one would expect of a book from an academic press. Although the pictures could be said to speak for themselves (and sometimes they can), the information supplied by the gracefully literate writer(s) is helpful and interesting. Groups of ...

Victoria and Vancouver Island, 6th: A Personal Tour of an Almost Perfect Eden (Hill Guides Series)

Globe Pequot, 2007

Useful, but smugness is overwhelming
The author's smugness is nauseating. It it distracting to try to read about travel destinations only to have the author go on and on about how extreemly wonderful and superior the "Victorians" are. On the other hand, this book has an immense amount of info, including history and culture as well as basic travel info. I am happy to see rough price estimates for the restaurants which is very ...

Monterey and Carmel, 3rd: Eden by the Sea (Hill Guides Series)
Gerald Hill, Kathleen Thompson Hill

Globe Pequot, 2004

M.F.K. Fisher, Kathleen Hill's friend and colleague, gave Kathleen the standard good advice: that she write about what she knows. For Kathleen, that meant the good life. Her background was in culinary arts, and her husband, Gerald, was experienced in travel and history writing. Together, they've taken on the Monterey and Carmel region in this delightful guide--introducing an area of sumptuous beauty, incomparable wineries, superior shopping, ...

The Calcium Lie: What Your Doctor Doesn't Know Could Kill You

BookSurge Publishing, 2008

Truly a book that will change (and extend) your life!
Having had a chance to read an advance copy of "The Calcium Lie," I can say that the ideas contained in this book truly changed the way that I look at a number of important aspects of my health -- nutrition, vitamins, and the way I listen to the well-intentioned advice of "the medical establishment." After reading "The Calcium Lie" it is very clear to me that when it comes to the amount of ...

Globe Pequot, 2004

WHAT A FUN, INFORMATIVE BOOK!
While my husband and I were browsing at our favorite bookstore, we discussed where we should travel next. We both love wine, so we thought maybe a wine tasting tour would be next. As San Franciscans, we visit the Sonoma and Napa valleys often, but we wanted to go somewhere different. We have used the Hills' guides to Sonoma and Napa in the past so we asked the book store clerk to suggest ...

Sonoma Valley, 5th: The Secret Wine Country (Hill Guides Series)

Kathleen Thompson Hill, Gerald Hill

Globe Pequot, 2005

"Sonoma Valley..." an essential read for the Sonoma bound.
Written by two longtime residents of the area, "Sonoma Valley the Secret Wine Country," is not only an indispensable guide for those planning a trip to the Sonoma Valley, it is also a great read for the "armchair adventurer" simply wishing to learn more about Sonoma's unique history and culture. This is a travel guide that one wants to continue reading long after the trip is over. The ...

Greenwood Press, 1998

A welcomed correction
Not EVERYman agrees with King's views of the situation. I may be in the minority, but I fully agree with the findings of these Editors, basing my full agreement on the work of James Hillman, a genuine Champion of Soul, who aptly wrote that "Hades (I add Hekate, the Mother) is not a monster; the Ego is." But, not to worry, Stephanie Queen is not mocked :).

Globe Pequot, 2003

The book was a virtual tour in my mind's eye of Victoria.
The book was lots of fun to read. The descriptions of the city using the vantage point of a walker up and down the specified streets was brilliant. Even though my trip to Victoria fell through, I can pick up the book and almost hear, smell and see this fascinating place I hope to visit someday.
