True Stories 70 reviews
David Byrne
Faber and Faber, 1986
Idiosyncratic wonder
While I will admit there are better-made films out there, True Stories remains my favorite movie of all time. I like it because, much like its themes and characters (and life itself), it is imperfect. But its imperfection becomes part of its genius, especially on repeated viewings. It's not really a movie with a plot, except maybe Louis' search for love. It illustrates ideas, themes and moods ...

Management and the Arts 4 reviews
William J. Byrnes
Focal Pr, 1993
Fantasitic
This book basically lets you know everything you need to know about Arts Management. I'm currently taking a course in Arts Managment, not knowing what I'm getting myself into, and I love it! It's a fantastic resource and this book helped me by letting me know that Arts Management is what I want to do.

Hanbury, 2001
East London of JacK the Ripper

This book reviews the contemporary sources; books, papers, journals and official publications; to produce a picture of how the people in the East of London lived.

A Handbook of American Military History: From the Revolutionary War to the Present (History and Warfare)1 review
Kevin B. Byrne, Jerry M. Cooper, ...
Westview Pr (Short Disc), 1996
A concise, one-volume overview of U.S. military history.
Russell F. Weigley writes that "anyone seriously interested in U.S. military history should benefit from this small but encyclopedic book. General readers, buffs, reenacters, students and professionals should all be able to make use of it. In every way the authors deserve commendation for making an apparently modest little book into a volume of exceptional usefulness."

Lonely Planet Australia (8th ed.) 7 reviews

Lonely Planet Publications, 1996
Insight into Australia
Because Australia is so big.. and there is just so much to see no single book can possibly cover the whole country. That's why lonely planet has published so many titles pertaining to this country. I think the intention of this book is to give insight into what is available where... then select the relevant lonely planet guide for the area that most interests you. A lot of people don't know ...
