Early Vertebrates (Oxford Monographs on Geology and Geophysics)1 review
Philippe Janvier

Oxford University Press, USA, 1996

The first vertebrates
Although this reference is a very detailed treatise on early vertebrate fossils, it may prove useful to the general reader trying to make sense of early vertebrate evolution because it does not reproduce photographs of the early fossils, but instead takes artistic license to illustrate them in reconstructed forms. The earliest known fossil vertebrate is Sacabambaspis/Arandaspis found in ...

Disciples of Fortune19 reviews
Janvier Tisi

PublishAmerica, 2003

A revealing story
"I am convinced that many of the events in Disciples of Fortune have strong historical bearings. It is easy to figure out that many of the scenes were created around historical occurrences and used as a backdrop for the purpose of fiction. There are persons who took part in events similar to those described in the book, which makes it possible that some may be mistaken for characters in the ...

Triple Agent, Double Cross2 reviews
Janvier Tisi

Janvier Tisi, 2003

Worthwhile
This is an engaging and well-written story involving intelligence in a dictatorship, geo-politics, personal relationships and the tragedies from political conspiracies. The author used real events in history and real places in the world, and weaves them into this great thriller without making the history to overshadow the underlying story. The characters are true to life and are well developed ... 		  
  







  
  
The Union Moujik3 reviews
Janvier Chando

PublishAmerica, 2005

A magnificient and tragic story on hope
I read this book so fast the first time and read it again because I couldn't help myself. I am still thinking about it.I thoroughly enjoyed learning about the lives of pro-communists in Russia after the Soviet Union fell apart. Not only that, this book gave me a better understanding of the countries from the former Soviet Union and the mysterious nature of that land, its history and its ... 		  
  







  
  
Mark Rothko: Musee D'Art Moderne de La Ville de Paris, 14 Janvier-18 Avril 199918 reviews
Mark Rothko

Paris-Musees, 1999

a beautiful exhibition
This is the catalogue for a beautiful exhibition that was held at the Beyeler Foundation. Many of the works reproduced are hidden in private collections (e.g. a huge 1958 canvas in black, white and red) and it is great to be able to admire them. Nothing replaces the live experience of being engulfed in a Rothko, standing a short distance from the canvas itself, but this book is undoubtedly a ... 		  
  







  
  
The Aztec Treasure House1 review
Thomas A. Janvier

Harper & Brothers, 1890

Great Fun For The Adventurous
Treasure! Aztec Treasure! Join the plucky crew (a professor, a priest, two roughnecks, and a cute little Mexican kid [and his donkey]) as they seek AZTEC GOLD in 1880s Mexico. Sounds corny, but it's a GREAT adventure novel-- see if you can get an early editon with the Frederick Remington illos (mine is an 1890 Harpers edition, no idea if it's a first). This precursor of today's thrillers is ... 		  
  







  
  
The Usurper: and Other Stories12 reviews
Janvier Tisi

PublishAmerica, 2004

Funny and Frightening
If you haven't read any book by this author yet, I recommend you start with these short story collection. It took me a while to become familira with the African names, style of dialogue and the titles and traditions, but after I got used to it, everything fell in place.I finally liked his style of writing, especially the messages behind the stories. My favourite was the title story.I never ...

In The Sargasso Sea1 review
Thomas A. Janvier

Kessinger Publishing, 2004

Why Read This Book?
Because S. J. Perelman said it reminded him of what he encountered in Hollywood? Well, that's why I read it, anyway. And if you're a Perelman fan, you'll understand why he said it: this is the kind of earnest adventure piece that he savagely satirized for decades, but it's no less entertaining for all that. Written more than a century ago (before Perelman was even born), it tells the story of ... 		  
  







  
  
The Aztec Treasure-House2 reviews
Thomas Allibone Janvier

BiblioBazaar, 2007

A lesser-known classic in children's literature.
This book was originally published in the first part of the 20th century. It is a classic in the genre known as the "rip-roaring boy's adventure novel." There are adventurers seeking a lost valley in Mexico where Aztec treasure is stored. There are death-defying feats and thrilling rescues. It's not great literature, but if you read it around 12 or 14 years old, it will stick with you all ...
