K. C. Constantine

Mysterious Press, 1995

The Best Mystery Writer No One's Ever Heard Of
K.C. Constantine started his publishing career with The Rocksburg Railroad Murders, which was published by a small literary press in Boston. Over the years, Constantine's eye and skill have become so remarkable that he transcends both the mystery genre and the limitations of series character works. Constantine has an ear for dialogue that rivals George V. Higgins, and his narrator, Police ...

Healing Art Press, 1991

This book is glorious!
The recipes here are so beautiful and unique--like Baked Grapefruit, Potage Malakoff, Spinach Roll, Mulligatawny Soup, Creamy Baked Tomatoes. (And it's so charming that the "entrees" section is called "savouries"! It is very european all the way through) Plus it has great sections on beverages and breads, and has a "culinary know-how" section in front. Plus beautiful color pics. All around a very ...

Weidenfeld Nicolson Illustrated, 2000

Yummy and quick!
I bought this cookbook while in London on a friend's recommendation, and have hardly used anything else since! The recipes are very quick and easy, but use delicious and creative combinations of ingredients. My British copy has some use of unusual names for ingredients (aubergine instead of eggplant, etc.), but I seem to remember hearing that the copy sold in the U.S. is "translated." :) I ...

Edward Marston

St. Martin's Minotaur, 2004

Very enjoyable, a wonderful read
I'm a latecomer to the series and after reading "The Counterfeit Crank," I will definitely order more of Edward Marston's books. The characters are wonderfully drawn, and the details are excellent. The mystery may not present much of a challenge to the experienced fan, but I think it's more than worthwhile. We were snowed in over Christmas, and I read this book at the same time as I read ...

This book is a classic, collecting analytical solutions to common differential equations arising from common problems in mass transport.

Ending the War on Drugs: A Solution for America (Unabridged)

A conservative Republicans' solution to our drug problems
Our current administration is fond of dismissing its critics by labeling THEM as extremists. The Whitewater investigators are part of a "right-wing conspiracy." Those who criticize the under-the-desk-activities at the Oval Office are simply venting their wrath against people from Arkansas, and those who oppose the failed War on Drugs are "fringe groups." With each passing day, this tactic ...

Bland Ambition: From Adams to Quayle--The Cranks, Criminals, Tax Cheats, and Golfers Who Made It to Vice ...

Steve Tally

Harcourt, 1992

The Vice-Presidency as a magnet for the bland.
Bland Ambition is an uproariously funny, highly irreverent look at the Vice-Presidents of the United States. The author covers every man who has ever served as "Veep" (ending with Dan Quayle), exposing every foible and gaff. I would not recommend this work as a textbook, but it does make an interesting introduction to the men who are completely invisible in most history books.

Clint Catalyst

Manic D Press, Inc., 2000

Catalyst at his Best!!
This is a great selection of essays and poetry from Clint Catalyst. They deal with gay relationships, adolescence, and out of control drug addiction. These subjects are dealt with in such an honest, clear and edgy way. The lives of these unconventional characters are brought to the page so intensely with all their flaws clearly exposed. You'll feel their thoughts and feelings. The artistic ...

Cranks, Quarks, and the Cosmos: Writings on Science

Jeremy Bernstein

Basic Books, 1993

a superb mix of articles, well written and accurate.
Bernstein is one of that small set of people who are both scientists and have written for the New Yorker. This books is a collection of essays on scientists. In addition to to more 'regular' ones about Bohr, Einstein, Mach and Turing, there are stories about Edwin Land and Sonya Kowalewsky. The tale of how Tom Lehrer, Harvard math graduate student, actually got his songs to market caught me by ...

Making Wooden Mechanical Models: 15 Designs With Visible Wheels, Cranks, Pistons, Cogs, and Cams

5 reviews
Alan Bridgewater, Gill Bridgewater

Popular Woodworking Books, 1995

Making Wooden Mechanical Models
This book is great. I am looking at it from a teachers point of view. With our highly mechanized world, I find that students sometimes do not understand the priciples behind some of our most simple machines. Examples might be a lever, inclined plane, pully, or gears and cams. This book not only teaches about the make-up of machines, it teaches them a lesson in woodworking craftsmanship. In ...

Cranks from Cooperstown: 50 Bike Rides in Upstate New York

Dennis Savoie

Tourmaster Publications, 1998

The New Gold Standard for Bicycle Tour Guides
The cover of "Cranks from Cooperstown" proclaims: "Two Bike Books in One! A How-to-Bike Instruction Manual & A Bicycle Tour Guide with 50 Tear-out Cue Sheets and Maps". It is all of that and more. And it appears to have been a "labor of love" for the author, Dennis Savoie, a physician who began cycling in 1983 and has since become a "long rider". The very comprehensive instruction manual ...

Mathematical Cranks (Spectrum)

6 reviews
Underwood Dudley

The Mathematical Association of America, 1992

A very fun book
On the one hand, mathematics is the great leveler of the sciences. Anyone can do mathematical research, with no equipment but pencil and paper. On the other hand, mathematics is the only science where something can be proven, irrefutably and for all time, to be impossible. These two ingredients make mathematics one of the most fertile grounds for inspiring crankery. This book is not only ...

Police Ethics: The Corruption Of Noble Cause

Michael A. Caldero, John P. Crank

Anderson Publishing Company (OH), 2004

A must read for all future employees of the Criminal Justice
Excellant Book! A must read for all future employees of the Criminal Justice System. This reminds me of another book I just read and recommend, U.S. Customs Badge of Dishonor. Both of these books demonstrate just how tuff it is to be a cop.

Thorsons, 1987

Better than meat!
You will find it hard to believe these recipes contain no meat; I use them all the time, and also have another book on cooking for a crowd which is not on amazon.com (at least not now!) These are such tasty and easy recipes, and good for you, too. A winning combination.

Clive Young

Backbeat Books, 2004

IT CRANKS and IT ROCKS!
This is a great book that goes up to 11. If you're a music fan, and have ever shelled out big bucks for a show at the Garden, this is a valuable insider tool that lets you relive your favorite concert-going experiences, while introduces you to the technical aspects of how and why the show sounded so great. The chapters about U2 and The Rolling Stones were compelling stories about finding ...

Another Turn of the Crank

Wendell Berry

Counterpoint, 1996

A Beautiful Collection
Once again, Berry has produced a work worth reading over and over again. By far one of his best collections of essays, I found myself warmed and heartened by his words and was impressed by how well he expresses the compatibility of good human work with nature, as they are often seen as opposing forces. He shows us how the best of our cultural traditions can bring a better life to all of us. ...

Crazy '08: How a Cast of Cranks, Rogues, Boneheads, and Magnates Created the Greatest Year in Baseball History

61 reviews
Cait N. Murphy

Collins, 2008

Not Baseball in 1908, but America in 1908
This is a marvelous effort. If the author focused only on the pennant races of a century ago this summer, it would be a good book, but probably little better than previous efforts on the subject. But she takes her work to another step. She places baseball within the context of the world of 1908. She reminds you that Christy Mathewson walked the same streets with Teddy Roosevelt, with the ...
