Neil's Review of "Demolition"
Well, BLOW ME DOWN!! Finally, a "consumer" oriented book about EXPLOSIVE DEMOLITION! I've been hoping for such a book as long as I can remember! I just purchased my copy today (12-27-00), and have had nothing short of a BLAST with it! The photos are truly stunning, not only of the actual implosions, but also the close-ups of the drilling, placing the explosives, and other preparations, as well ...

Rubble: Unearthing the History of Demolition

Harmony, 2005

A charming and thoroughly researched look at architectural destruction
According to author/journalist Jeff Byles, we can trace the modern history of building demolition to the Great Fire of London in 1666. With remarkable foresight, diarist Samuel Pepys declared that "unless his Majesty did command houses to be pulled down, nothing could stop the fire." Pepys then "hustled home and buried his wine and Parmesan cheese in the garden." When the Lord Mayor ignored the ...

Ten Speed Press, 2007

Not just beautiful, but practical!
True to Ms. Falkner's reputation as a renowned pastry chef, these recipes are neither simple nor quick. However, neither are they unnecessarily complex, and there are some minor shortcuts you can take if you're in a hurry. For example, one of my favorite recipes from this book is a stunning s'mores brownie recipe. Delightfully, the book includes recipes for homemade marshmallows and graham ...

A review of the abridged audio edition
First - usually I hate abridged works because they are TOO abridged. This one was not, to its credit. Demolition Angel is a first-rate thriller and a pleasure to listen to - it really perked up my morning drive for about a week. If you are a fan of the Elvis Cole novels this one is a must-read so that you can get the backstory on Detective Carol Starkey. Veteran actress Patricia Kalember ...

We wined, dined and discussed.
My book club recently had the pleasure of discussing this fabulous collection of short stories edited by writer, Marc Parent. When he presented such famous writers as Anna Quindlen, Sebastian Junger, Aimee Bender and others with the opportunity to write anonomously and "dangerously" they jumped at the opportunity. We not only enjoyed reading and discussing the intriguing and sometimes odd ...

Sting: Demolition Man

Christopher Sandford

Da Capo Press, 2000

The more you know the more you don't care
Mr. Sandford gives an insightful look into Mr. Sting. Unfortunately, the more you read, the more you discover that Mr. Sting is one of the most self indulgent, arrogant, childish people you would ever not want to know. A waste of a good write.

Robert Rankin's style of surreal humour makes this and his other books possibly the funniest around.

Fun Book
This book was fun for my four year old who had recently seen a real demolition derby. I'm not sure it would have been as exciting for him if he had not seen the real one beforehand.
