I was going to make a note card file of this info but someone suggested the RNotes pocket guide. It has everything I was going to put in my index card file and more. It was well worth the purchase.

Huerfano: A Memoir of Life in the Counterculture13 reviews
Roberta Price
University of Massachusetts Press, 2006
In a child's eyes
I saw this book one afternoon while visiting my mom in Denver. I picked it up and read straight through it. I lived in Libre, in a dome as a child with my sister, mom and dad. The book was such a different perspective of life at Libre than I remembered. I remembered the hardships of Libre. I remembered the Nature, the other children, things that children pay attention to. Now I am a mom and ...

Great Book. Very highly recommended! New grower/older grower freindly!

Vanessa Van Petten
iUniverse, Inc., 2007
Filled with important insight
I bought this book for myself, but plan to give it to my daughter who is growing up too quickly. This book is great because it tells the story from both sides of the coin, in a way that can be easily understood by all parties involved.

Common Census The Counter-Intuitive Guide to Generational Marketing12 reviews
F.O.G. Publishing, Ford Odell Group, 2005
WOW....this stuff should be taught at The Harvard Business School!
Common Census is curiously simple, yet profound. If you sell anything, goods or services, this is a must read before ramping up. This study of generational populations reveals why the Ipod is a homerun, and the retirement community, as we know it, will fade away. This quick read has helped me define where the money won't be, and the best generation(s) to market to. You'll want to read it over ...

Banksy
Random House UK, 2006
One of the BEST artists of the new century (IMO)
If you haven't read or seen much from BANKSY - trust me, just buy the sweet book. Otherwise... make a quick stop at your favorite video search engine, type BANKSY and watch a documentary about the man...
This is one of my favorite art books. Without a doubt.

American Medical Association Guide to Prescription and Over-the-Counter Drugs8 reviews
American Medical Association
Random House, 1988
American Medical Association Guide to Prescription and Over
I have used this book frequently however I believe with all the newer medications since 1988, we desperately need an up date. This is a very easy book to use. I have used others but prefer this one. A newer book for 2004 would be nice.

A magical mystery tour of the mind
This book points to the possibility of remembering the parts of ourselves we forgot long ago. It's a poem to the forgotten realms of being human and declares the potential to reclaim ones totality. For someone thinking of using psychedelics, there are instructions here for their proper use. For someone who has already used them, there are footnotes from infinitude. This book, and this subject ...

The Message of the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7 : Christian Counter-Culture)9 reviews
John R. W. Stott
InterVarsity Press, 1985
Very practical exposition of the Sermon
I am preaching through the beatitudes right now, and next year, I plan on preaching through the rest of the Sermon on the Mount. I already had all the heavy duty technical books on this section of the Bible. So I really needed a book where the writer explained the text in a way that people could understand it.
Stott's book fills that void. He masterfully explains and applies the text to life, ...

Luis Royo
Nantier Beall Minoustchine Publishing, 1998
Scary scene - sexy women
This book will lead you into the future, as Royo sees it. It's dark, ice-cold, scary. Barren landscape, ruined cities, machine making love to astonishingly beautiful women; monkeys control humans. Fallen angels turned to stone, yet capable to make love to each other. The colors are grey, brown, green, which make the light even more vivid. The details are painstakingly taken care of - just like ...

The Birth of Graffiti7 reviews
Jon Naar
Prestel Publishing, 2007
The Roots of Graffiti
This is a really well done book - the photographs are incredible and the printing is perfect. Unlike many graffiti books, this one is very well laid out and is "arty." A very professional treatment of the rough edges of the first spray can art. If you lived in NYC in the 1970's this book will take you down memory lane. You will pick this book up time and time again.

Someday the Truth Will Triumph
I am a disabled person who was overjoyed to read David Ford's wonderful exposè. My progressive condition should be causing unbearable pain and spasms at this point...and DOES without this great medicine. Someday the truth will triumph because of people such as Mr. Ford and books as bold as his. Someday this book will be a collector's item, like the Soviet flag, because of works like this. I ...

An iconoclastic American intellectual, the late Kenneth Burke (1897-1993) was an exceptional and prolific literary critic whose writings and commentaries were respected -- even by those who occasionally disagreed with either his assumptions and conclusions. In the pages of "Kenneth Burke On Shakespeare", academician Scott L. Newstok (Assistant Professor of English, Gustavus Adolphus College, and ...
