Patterns In The Sky
In Patterns in the Sky, Stephen Fabian presents us with a unique and practical guide to the sky as we see it--with the naked eye. But besides this, he also provides us with information about how living American Indian peoples in North, Central and South American interpret and interact with this observable phenomena, which gives us a deeper understanding of human diversity and intellect. This is ...

Excellent novel
This novel does an excellent job finishing up the story. It gives all of the finishing details needed to find out how it all ends.

I'm going on an adventure!
As a children's librarian, I advise my little ones to examine a book when they first get it. Look at the cover. Look at the color and prints of the endpages. Look at the title page. As a rarity and for this particular book, remove the dust jacket to examine the front board (top outside covering). There is a story already going on before they turn to page one. Dust jacket: Hondo rests his head ...

Twilight Times Books, 2007

Amazing collection
Religious-themed science fiction is not a new genre, from classics like A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter Miller Jr., to nearly anything from Gene Wolfe. One of the best known collections was edited by Fr. Andrew M. Greeley called Sacred Visions. Yet this new volume of 15 short stories in the genre of Catholic Science Fiction is a treat for the fan of either genres. The authors tackle themes of ...

Ian Myles Slater on L. Sprague de Camp's Antiquity

In this review I will point out some other characteristics of interest to possible readers. This is an adventure novel, set during the reign of Xerxes, Originally published in 1961, it was the third written, and earliest in chronological order, of five ...

Nice story
The original Thunderbolts together again at last! It seems that the thunderbolts have finally gotten the respect they deserve, the people have finally decided to forgive them and Baron Zemo has come up with a plan to use that trust for his own benfit. Captain America however isn't buying it that Zemo has become a good guy and sets a trap for Zemo and his gang. This is a very interesting read, I ...

Hondo and Fabian

Peter McCarty

Henry Holt and Co. (BYR), 2002

A favorite
Beautiful artwork. Written for the very young but my older son loves it almost as much as my younger son. They laugh at Hondo and Fabian's animal adventures and delight when they're reunited for the evening. A classic.

Gauchada

5 reviews
C. Drew Lamm

Knopf Books for Young Readers, 2002

The Gift of Giving
It's unusual for books like "Gauchada" to see the light if day, & the fact that [other companies], in their pursuit of the mediocre, have chosen not to carry this title, is proof that beauty of spirit is difficult to find in the world these days. This is what "Gauchada" is about; it's about beauty of spirit, it's about the unselfish act of giving a gift out of love & seeking nothing in return. ...

Clearing Away Clouds: Nine Lessons For Life From The Martial Arts

Stephen Fabian

Weatherhill, 1999

Of course, I'm biased, but ...
Dr. Fabian is my sensei, teaching a class of 15-20 students in Hontai Yoshin Ryu (mainly Jujutsu with some Bojutsu and Iaijutsu), so I have some obvious bias. I read his book mainly because of the class. However, I would recommend it to anyone interested in a westerner's journey in the way of martial arts and what they have learned from that journey. Each of the nine main chapters is similarly ...

Cable/Deadpool Vol. 2: The Burnt Offering

2 reviews
Fabian Nicieza, Patrick Zircher

Marvel Comics, 2005

Witty As Ever
This book was amazing; an excellent combination of sarcasm, action, suspense, and drama. The storyline can be a bit confusing if you haven't already read the first book, "If Looks Could Kill", so I recommend reading that first. The artwork is superb, bringing the plot and dialogue to life. Deadpool is his usual sarcastic-insane-doesn't-know-when-to-shut-up mercenary self while Cable provides a ...

Hercules....a Disney movie
In my opinion, this book (written basically for children to read) has the magic enough to capture an adult's mind. I'm very fond of the thought that the Disney Company, makes it's best effort to get a child into the deep world of greek and roman mythology throughout this book (originally a movie) with the usual content of love, comedy, drama and a happy ending, all mixed in a magical, powerful, ...

Remembering the Present: Painting and Popular History in Zaire

Johannes Fabian

University of California Press, 1996

Manylayered views of Congo/Zaire's history [4 1/2 stars]
Anthropologist Johannes Fabian performed an outstanding service in sponsoring painter/historian Tshibumba's unique vision of his country's history. His words and the paintings themselves offer a rather romantic look at precolonial life, but a searing indictment of the epoch of Belgian rule. The interpretation of the Mobutu period is more equivocal, partly due to living under the authority of ...

The Selfish Giant

Oscar Wilde

Knopf Books for Young Readers, 2000

Beautiful illustrations and Good Story
The illustrations are beautiful and sweet. The story (if you're not familiar with the Wilde story) will have a surprising ending. The book is good for a Christian family, especially for a family facing death or wanting to explain death or perhaps for Good Friday.

Fabian freeway: high road to socialism in the U.S.A., 1884-1966

2 reviews
Rose L. Martin

Opinionated but fact-filled and fascinating
The Fabain Society was formed in Britain in the 1880s to advance the socialist cause through gradualist rather than revolutionary means. "Fabian Freeway" is a critical study of the broader gradualist-socialist movement, of which the Fabian Society is emblematic, in late-nineteenth and twentieth-century Britain and America. Marc Stears in his recent book, "Progressives, Pluralists, and the ...

Lacret Algrebra -1
An outstanding 482 page review of algebra. The author in 14 chapters give a most complete and detailed treatment of the subject. Each chapter is full of multible examples with annotation for each step. I used the test a a review prior to taking college physics. It would also be an excellent text to learn algebra from the beginning.

As an American participant...
As an American participant in the postwar years of Germany, including the period of the Blockade, I was drawn strongly to the descriptions and experiences of the characters in your book. The book brought back many memories to me of the traumatic times and places described so vividly and yet clearly therein. I couldn't put it down from the moment I started reading until the very end. Thank ...

Julia Alvarez

Dragonfly Books, 2002

Entrancing tale of the mythical Ciguapa.
Julia Alvarez has transformed the mythic Dominican tale of the Ciguapa into a lush, dramatic story for all audiences to appreciate. I was fortunate enough to hear Alvarez read her first children's book to 80 second graders at the Carol Morgan School of Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic. The children as was this writer literally spellbound. The tale which is reminiscent of "The Little ...
