Fredric Brown

Amereon Limited, 1976

One of the top ten all time science fiction classics
This is a Wizard of Oz type parallel universe yarn for adolescents and adults. Unfairly neglected, it would make a stunning Disney animated film or Broadway musical. It's a delightful grab bag of satire on McCarthyism, science fiction fandom, the publishing world, and adolescent boys with out of control imaginations/hormones. Brown takes the blind tapper from Treasure Island and turns him into ...

Of Two Minds : The Revolutionary Science of Dual-Brain Psychology

Fredric Schiffer

DIANE Publishing Company, 2002

Fascinating Theory You Can Experience Yourself
The book describes how you can easily stimulate one side of your brain and how this can affect your mood - and it works. After seeing Doctor Schiffer on 20/20, I tried for myself the simple test he described on TV and explains in the book. In less than a minute after covering all but my extreme left visual field, I was in tears. Trying the other side took away all my stress just as quickly and ...

Drumming at the Edge of Magic: A Journey into the Spirit of Percussion

Mickey Hart, Jay Stevens, ...

Acid Test Productions, 1998

Not just for drummers.
At a glance, Drumming at the Edge of Magic may seem like an autobiogrphical journey by the Grateful Dead's Mickey Hart. While the book is autobiographical, it goes far beyond that to discover the real meaning of drumming and music in general. The meaning of drumming (or life?) comes in many forms, and many disguises. As Hart begins to unluck the secrets to why humans desire to express ...

A Sign for Cain: An Exploration of Human Violence

Fredric Wertham

MacMillan Publishing Company, 1966

Two thumbs up for this book!
It is undeniable the violence invades over and over the social life of the mankind, much more than they want to believe. This book is a generous, wide and erudite analysis of the violence in all its aspects: Wertham is a very illustrated man and uses not only sociology and psychology studies but also criminality issues , history, art and literature. He understands the violence not only in its ...

From These Ashes: The Complete Short SF of Fredric Brown

Fredric Brown

Nesfa Press, 2001

Another forgotten genius of early scifi
There are several absolutely wonderful writers of classic SF that are nearly forgotten today. Unfortunately, Fredric Brown is one of them. Whether it's his short fiction, as in this book, or his wonderful novels, including "What Mad Universe", all of his stuff is wonderful and well worth reading. Brown, Henry Kuttner, CM Cornbluth, Richard Matheson, so many others. All of them created the SF ...

The Fabulous Clipjoint

Fredric Brown

blackmask.com, 2004

Both a great mystery and coming of age story. An all timer.
After almost a decade of publishing pulp sci-fi and mystery short stories, Fredric Brown had his first novel published in 1947. Entitled THE FABULOUS CLIPJOINT, it was both a marvelous mystery as well as a superb "coming-of-age" story. The novel was so well received that it won the prestigious Edgar award for the Best First Mystery Novel by an American the following year. Brown would go on to ...

Fredric H Jones & Assocs, 1987

This book saved my teaching career, I've read it 4 times!
I had been teaching 7th and 8th grade science for two years at an inner city school and was doing fine. I had my classes under control, but I was getting worn out keeping them under control. I read the intro to this book and couldn't wait to finish it and implement his methods. I read it over again during the two weeks before school for the next 4 summers to refresh myself. He clearly ...

Nightmares and Geezenstacks

Fredric Brown

Bantam USA, 1979

A stimulating exercise of the mind
It goes without saying that Fredric Brown is a master of the art when it comes to short stories, and if you love short short stories, the ones in this book are prime cut. The majority of these are 1 to 3 pages and nearly all have surprise endings. What amazes you most is how Brown can manage to top the story you just read, but a couple of stories later, it happens. Thought provoking to the ...

The Cultures of Globalization (Post-Contemporary Interventions)

3 reviews
Fredric Jameson

Duke University Press, 1998

excellent book on globalization
Jameson and Miyoshi, as editors, give the reader by far one of the best text on the cultures of globalization, from media to environment, from feminism to the university, from perspectives drawn from the first world to perspectives from the third world. The work of almost all the contributors is very interesting and it will be impossible to write something on each one. However, and you must ...

The far cry

3 reviews
Fredric Brown

Dutton, 1951

Noirish tale of murder and obsession.
THE FAR CRY was first published in 1951, and is considered one of Fredric Brown's best mystery novels, which is saying something indeed, considering how many great ones he penned. Slightly different from his famous "Ed and Am Hunter" series of novels about a uncle and nephew team of Private Eyes, THE FAR CRY is more of a downbeat noir type of thriller, dwelling as it does on the main character's ...

Fredric Jameson

3 reviews

Taylor & Francis, 2002

Cutting through the jargon
I found this book tremendously helpful when attempting to trudge through Jameson's dense academic writing. This book not only sets out a chronological development of Jameson's arguments, but also provides many of his theoretical influences, from Marx to Lacan. In addition, difficult terms (such as "cognitive mapping" or "schizophrenia") and fellow critics (e.g. Habermas) are presented in an ...

Be Not Afraid! Building Your Church on Faith and Knowledge

2 reviews
Fredric M. Roberts

Alban Institute, 2005

Review by Corbin Davis, Lansing, Michigan
The fear referred to in the title of this book is the fear of failure. Alarmed by volumes of prediction of the impending doom of mainline Protestant congregations, our churches are increasingly tempted to apply worldly (corporate/business) measures of success when looking to the future. "Why aren't we growing?" "How will we pay the mortgage?" "What are our goals?" Our fears about those ...

Phenomenal book
Phenomenal photography of sacred sites from around the world. Not all the sites are considered sacred from a traditional standpoint but are sacred from the standpoint of moving the observed to a sense of reverence. From Ayer's Rock in Australia to Machu Picchu in Peru to Glastonbury Tor in England this is a collection of landscape photographs and paintings that are sure to leave a reader with a ...

The Woman's Heart Book: 2The Complete Guide to Keeping Your Heart Healthy

Fredric J. Pashkow, Charlotte Libov

Dutton Adult, 1993

Written with Heart
I picked up The Women's Heart Book - and kept going right through to the glossery. The material is well organized and the information accessible and useful. Often I come away from a health related book feeling both guilty and worried. After reading The Women's Heart Book I am encouraged that I can make healthy lifestyle choices for myself and communicate intelligently with doctors if I or my ...

Honeymoon in Hell

Fredric Brown

Bantam Books, 1982

This is real nightmare material...
It's easy to slice, dice, slash, and bash; much harder to take the subtle approach and write something that worms its way into the subconscious and refuses to go away. I couldn't have been more than ten when I first read "The Arena"; thirty-five years later, I still remember it vividly (vividly enough that, whenever I look at a sandbox, I recall the story. How's that for persistence of ...
