Simon Furman, E.J. Su, ...

IDW Publishing, 2008

Puh-lenty of DEVASTATION!
Finally, we find out just what the heck has been going on for the last 4 TBs and there aren't any disappointments. The ending is fabulous and leaves you thirsty for more. If the scribes for the movie sequel need ideas--this has lots of great material to use, heh heh.

Confronting Traumatic Brain Injury : Devastation, Hope, and Healing

4 reviews
William J. Winslade

Yale University Press, 1999

great at being what it is
While obvious that there was never an intent or attempt to delve into the technical details of treating TBIs, this book is amazingly well written so that it achieves precisely what was inteded: a readable and relatable journey through the recovery process. The use of both an intimate and widely known examples for the reader to relate to the topic is just one of the many attributes that makes this ...

Path of Destruction: The Devastation of New Orleans and the Coming Age of Superstorms

7 reviews
John McQuaid, Mark Schleifstein

Little, Brown and Company, 2006

Thoughtful, Informative and Readable
Path of Destruction provides an in-depth background to the geographic, technical and political contributions to the Katrina disaster. It describes the natural challenges of settling on the active Mississippi delta, the innately human bone-headed attempts to protect settlements on an increasingly vulnerable marshland, and the classic political forces (farces?) over the centuries that made ...

The Devastation of the Indies: A Brief Account

4 reviews
Bartolomé de Las Casas

The Johns Hopkins University Press, 1992

An important book
This book is a must read for anyone studying early colonial history, especially that of the Spanish colonies. While biased by the political and theological positions of the author, it remains an important first hand account of the period.

Lost Mountain: A Year in the Vanishing Wilderness Radical Strip Mining and the Devastation ofAppalachia

Erik Reece

Riverhead Trade, 2007

Lost Mountain
This book is critical for understanding the history and ecology of mountaintop renewal; it brings the devastation home in a way that immediately touches you. I'd highly recommend this to anyone interested in environmental issues; my only complaint is that the book should have been longer - no amount of writing can make up for the horrors Reece exposes.

Secret Six: Six Degrees of Devastation

4 reviews
Gail Simone

DC Comics, 2007

As Crazy as They Wanna Be
While I enjoyed the Villains United (Countdown to Infinite Crisis) mini-series (featuring the debut of the "Secret Six" anti-heroes), I felt that the "Infinte Crisis"-mandated beats cut into some of the characterization and stopped the story short. Gail Simone returned with "Secret Six: Six Degrees of Devastation," a brutally funny and mature take on the super-villain squad. Fans of Grant ...

F5: Devastation, Survival, and the Most Violent Tornado Outbreak of the 20th Century

15 reviews
Mark Levine

Miramax, 2007

Really Great Read
F5 is a really good non-fiction book that reads like the best type of fiction -- action, adventure, thriller, family drama. It's the true-life accounts of what many people lived through in April 1974, when the US suffered the deadliest outbreaks of tornadoes on record. I read this book in a day, mostly because I didn't want to stop reading once I had started. Mark Levine has truly done his ...

Radical Hope: Ethics in the Face of Cultural Devastation

6 reviews
Jonathan Lear

Harvard University Press, 2008

An alternative to the Ghost Dance
In a time when any and everything can be pulled out from under one due to devastating political and cultural de-evolution, a growing and decadent mass media driven delusion and the bulk of wealth being in the hands of a small percentage of soulless idiots, this book offers an "a way." At time when one might be tempted, like many Native American tribes were, to lament the past and vainly attempt ...

From Berlin To Texas: Forging a Life from the Devastation of War

Gunter K von Noorden

iUniverse, Inc., 2007

Memoir of a physician
The author presents a very personal memoir of his life starting as a youth in pre-World War II Germany, gives the picture of an innocent caught up in that horrific conflict with eventual transformation into a famous scientist-clinician in the USA. It is well written and a very engaging history of those times.

Forbidden Love with a Married Man: E-mail Diaries

22 reviews

AuthorHouse, 2006

Love in it's Purest Most Innocent Form, True Never Ending Love Never Die's
I have never been so moved by a book except like the movie "The Titanic." Love has no rules. It happens when we least expect it, often when we don't want it, many times when we can't handle it. It often times scares you, surprises you, shakes you down to your very core. After reading "Forbidden Love with a Married Man; E-mail Diaries," I had to tell all my friends so we could spend the next ...

7 reviews
Nancy Levant

PublishAmerica, 2006

Quite the wake-up call! A must read!
Nancy speaks the plain truth: American Women are killing themselves and their families over their complete selfishness. We wonder why our community's children act out as they do and we can clearly see that the root of their demise is due to their mothers' (and fathers') self-interests. Being a feminist doesn't mean that we need to ignore and destroy our children's lives. All women AND men ...

Devastation and Renewal: An Environmental History of Pittsburgh and Its Region (History of the Urban ...

University of Pittsburgh Press, 2003

Every city has an environmental story, perhaps none so dramatic as Pittsburgh's. Founded in a river valley blessed with enormous resources-three strong waterways, abundant forests, rich seams of coal-the city experienced a century of exploitation and industrialization that degraded and obscured the natural environment to a horrific degree. Pittsburgh came to be known as “the Smoky City,” or, as James Parton famously declared in 1866, ...

Devastation on the Delaware: Stoires and Images of the Deadly Flood of 1955
Although I was born after the flood, I visited all the high-water markers in my hometown in the Pocono Mountains and listened intently to the haunting stories told by teachers, neighbors, and family friends. I believe the author of this book has done a marvelous job recounting the days and hours leading up to the region's greatest disastser, mostly through the eyes of those who witnessed the ...

de.MO, 2005

GROUNDBREAKING BOOK !
This is an extraordinary undertaking. The size of this book might seem too big but once you have it spread open on you dining table you will appreciate it and understand it as the size allows the photographs to deliver the power of the destruction of a tsunami wave. Never seen such good photography so big ! Is like having you own private exhibition. The photography is very impressive; I ...

Game Designers Workshop (GDW), 1990

The best military role playing game ever written
"The War has raged for years The high-tech ammo is almost gone. High-tech equipment is failing, piece by piece, with no spares to fix it. The front lines are held by a few grim, desperate soldiers.
