Patricia Thomas

Millbrook Press, 2007

perfect pairing of lyrical prose and beautiful illustrations
This picture book is like a good marriage: a great partnership. The text and the illustrations are both are complete and poetic in their own right.

Big Shot: Passion, Politics, and the Struggle for an AIDS Vaccine

4 reviews
Patricia Thomas

PUBLICAFFAIRS, 2001

Big Shot: Finally, science writing you can dance to!
I think "Big Shot" is the first important nonfiction work of the 21st century. With a clarity and an exuberance not often found in books about hard science, Patricia Thomas explains how politics, human frailty and corporate greed have prevented us from finding a vaccine for AIDS. Comparisons with previous books about AIDS and public policy don't exactly do justice to "Big Shot." If books must be ...

Emily Bradshaw, Jodi Thomas, ...

Signet, 1993

Truly heart-warming!
I really enjoyed every one of the stories in this collection. I kept reading and re-reading "The Gift" by Emily Bradshaw. Another pregnant woman in a blizzard, but this time our heroine can't remember who she is or where she's from (and it's better off forgotten, anyway). But she changes the lives of the father and son who find her and she and her daughter charm their ways into a whole new ...

Reagan Versus The Sandinistas: The Undeclared War On Nicaragua

1 review
Thomas W Walker, Harvey Williams, ...

Westview Press, 1987

FOR LESS THAN THE COST OF SHIPPING AN INVALUABLE HISTORICAL TEXT FOR OUR TIMES
Even at twenty years this extensive and complete study tells us much about the development of our present US foreign policy and its manipulation of public opinion through lies and of its vast cruelty to entire foreign populations under our dirty wars. Here it was a few million in Nicaragua; now a million dead in Iraq for oil. Public disinformation especially is an interesting theme running ...

2 reviews
Patricia Barnes-Svarney, Thomas E Svarney

Touchstone, 1999

Interesting Mix of Information and Trivia
This book does a very good job at getting basic weather information out to the layperson. As a student majoring in Meteorology, I can also vouch for the fact that it will still hold the attention of those with more education on the subject. It also has many sidebars which relay interesting facts and tidbits about the wonders of weather. I recommend this book to anyone who has a love of ...

Prometheus Books, 2002

This book left me scratching my head .. . .
. . . and wondering how Reviewer mcHAIKU survived all the trauma of Wars & Pestilence and lived to be 80 without becoming paranoid. (?) My blithe attitude may have to make an about face with one granddaughter studying in the San Andreas Fault area, another beginning studies in the vicinity of the New Madrid Fault, plus a family living in Indiana's Tormado Alley. This book may be referred to ...

Univ of New Mexico Pr, 1992

A Splendid Overview Of Mark Klett's Landscape Photography
It's a pity this elegant book is now out of print, since it traces the artistic evolution of Mark Klett, one of our foremost American landscape photographers. Combining his knowledge of geology with his interest in photography, Klett saw himself originally as a direct artistic descendant of great 19th Century American photographers such as Carleton Watkins and Timothy O'Sullivan. Indeed, one of ...

Patricia Bryan, Thomas Wolf

Algonquin Books, 2005

Great Read!
I bought this book because of my love of true crime. What I came away with was much more than a story of an ax murder in 1900 Iowa. The author's paint a vivid picture of the dismal life and the hardships of the wive's of farmers during this era, and the farmer's themselves, as they weave their story with true accounts of the actual investigation and trial. Midnight Assassin is an easy read ...

The Color of Liberty: Histories of Race in France

1 review

Duke University Press, 2003

France, Race, and the Struggle for Political Freedom
As I write, vehicles all across France are ablaze. Since October 27, 2005, thousands of cars in suburbs and neighborhoods in various corridors of the country have been burned by predominantly young French citizens descended from North Africa and West Africa. These disgruntled youth represent a class of 'de jure' French citizens who do not consider themselves 'de facto' citizens of the French ...
