The Conscientious Marine Aquarist: A Commonsense Handbook for Successful Saltwater Hobbyists ...71 reviews
Robert M. Fenner

TFH Publications, 2008

A good foundation.
I have been keeping a marine tank for less than 1 year. I got tired of just using the internet for all my knowledge-base of marine aquariums; spending many hours digging through all the forums for whatever current problem/issue i had, reading so many conflicting opinions and answers from 'experts', and often ending up at least as confused as when i began. So I bought this book, read it, and ...
  
  











  



  
Lectures and Essays3 reviews
Jacob Klein

St Johns College Pr, 1986

First-rate speculations from a true philosopher
I cannot but recommend all of Klein's works, among which this one. This work is a collection of essays and lectures on matters of liberal education, ranging from Vergil, to the principles underlying the philosophy of Leibniz, to fascinating analyses of Plato's dialogues. Klein spent the better part of his career as a tutor at St. John's College, teaching the Great Books. His knowledge of ...

Songs of The Blind Snowbird3 reviews
Robert Michael Jacobs

Robert Michael Jacob, 2003

Songs of the Blind Snowbird
This is a wonderfully warm and funny book about the relationship of a man and this sometimes frustating and sometimes amusing world that we all inhabit. And it is especially so for the author, who is blind. Those sections about being blind in a sighted society are witty and enlightening. Some of the most hilarious chapters are the "Dear KC" columns where the author's ten pound dog answers ...
  
  











  



  
Robert Mapplethorpe And The Classical Tradition3 reviews
Jennifer Blessing, Arkady Ippolitov, ...

Guggenheim Museum, 2004

Mapplethorpe as Part of the Intellectual Museum Repertoire!
How far we've come! Not many years ago Robert Mapplethorpe's inimitable photographs were the cause célèbre in museums and galleries. Even journalists and politicians and filmmakers focused on the 'pornographic' aspects of Mapplethorpe's varied output. Yet today his place in the canon of art history is assured, and as proof of this status, here is a catalogue that accompanied an exhibition ...

Battle of Britain Illustrated3 reviews
Paul F. Jacobs, Robert H. Lightsey

McGraw-Hill Professional, 2002

Everything You Wanted to Know About the Battle of Britain
This is a very comprehensive review of the Battle of Britain, the campaign which saved Europe from an indefinite period of darkness, oppression, and inhumanity. Without the courage and resilience of the British people and the courage, competence, and sacrifice of the young pilots and crews of the RAF from whom so much was demanded Hitler's legions would have stood triumphant over a defeated ...

Janson's History of Art: The Western Tradition5 reviews
Penelope J.E. Davies, Walter B. Denny, ...

Prentice Hall, 2006

a standard
This is one of the standard history of art textbooks. Of course it includes color prints of all the most famous art of the Western tradition, as well as numerous photographs and floorplans of famous architecture. It has a little coverage of Islamic art, but that is a topic that deserves better than it can be given in a textbook on the Western tradition. Painting, architecture and sculpture are ...

Classic Ghost & Horror Stories: An Anthology1 review
Gertrude Franklin Horn Atherton, Isabella Banks, ...

Audio Literature, 1996

It's ok...
Nothing spectacular to write home about. When I bought this book, I was hoping for the old radio dramas that I used to listen to when I was a kid on Sunday nights. I will say that there were some very good stories. But a few left you rather wanting.

Gary Panter1 review
Robert Storr, Richard Gehr, ...

PictureBox, 2008

30 years worth of Gary Panter's mind bending visions can be yours.
Forget vapid Celebrity Culture. Don't trust the path of commercialism. Popular culture is a graveyard. You think you owe respect to your elders with their dead ideas? You think culture shouldn't harsh your mellow steady flow? Oh, but wait! You're terrified of becoming lost, like the proverbial Black Sheep, aren't you? You really believe you're comfortable with the safe White Gangster Sheep. ...
