Dictionary of Pastoral Care and Counseling: Electronic Edition 5 reviews
Abingdon Pr, 1997
Thoughtful and useful dictionary
The Dictionary is useful for readers across a wide spectrum, not only for pastoral carers. Contains concise and practical information. The theological import of each entry is spelled out. Each entry has a bibliography for further reading or cross reference. I found myself browsing at leisure!

The Great Alaskan Dinosaur Adventure2 reviews
Buddy Davis, Mike Liston, ...
Master Books, 1998
Terrific Adventure
I really enjoyed this book. First, I have to mention the design because it contributes to the reading experience. The cover, the sepia drawings and photos and the ruffle edge pages all are remind the reader of an old voyage log. The story is great. The adventure, the discomoforts(the Alaska back country in July is not nice)the sights and sounds are amazing. It is a very exciting book. Despite ...

Living Like the Saints: A Novel of Nicaragua (Pope, Liston, Works. 2.)2 reviews
Liston Pope Jr.
N.A. Gilbert & Sons, 1997
Living Like the Saints
I have come across in Amazon.com a hastily written review of a novel, "Living Like the Saints" which misses the whole point of a fine novel. Pope brings to life the people's struggle for justice in the Sandinista rebellion. The characters he portrays are unforgettable. The message he sends is inspirational. You will not find a better story about this time in the history of Nicaragua. It is a ...

Floriane: Stages of Love1 review
Liston Pope
Mantis Press, 1998
the classic novel about AIDS
Liston Pope's Floriane is an epic treatment of what the AIDS epidemic has meant for many families. It is filled with life and interest, as the eminent 19th century critic David Daiches has said of it. Thad Floriani is an artist of genius, but he must fight against the homophobia of his flamboyant Italian-American mother, and his New England mafia stepfather, in order to realize himself as an ...

Counter Hack Reloaded: A Step-by-Step Guide to Computer Attacks and Effective Defenses44 reviews
Prentice Hall, 2007
On a path to being a Ethical Hacker.
This book is absolutely awesome. It's very organized, which is my number one need in a book. It's narrowed down, it's technical, but Ed writes things in a way that just sticks. The way this book starts out is very logical, it's a progression. It starts you off with:
-TCP/IP(Which is a must)
-Windows Overview(Which is a must)
-Unix/Linux Overview(Get the picture?)
Then it goes into

Certification Made Simple1 review
Kolette Hall, Kara Liston
Legacy Book Pub Inc, 2002
Finally!
At last! I can't believe it took this long for someone to finally come out with a resource for teaching certification requirements at girls camp! This is a thorough easy to follow manual that takes the guess work and the pain out of certification for adult leaders as well as youth leaders. It is a must-have for all those working with girls camp.

Flying Over Sonny Liston: Poems (Western Literature Series)4 reviews
Gary Short
University of Nevada Press, 1996
An Astounding View of the Human Condition
Gary Short covers a lot of ground in each line, carefully choosing the perfect words. This book is the first I have ever marked with exclamation points, emphasizing lines I want to return to again and again, lines that haunt. His descriptions of nature go beyond mere settings, and delicately tie in with the mood or message behind the poems. Some verbs shock you with their originality and ...

You Can Never Go Home Any More 7 reviews
Anthony Liston
Athena Press Publishing Company, 2005
I thoroughly enjoyed this book
I thoroughly enjoyed the book, the author really brought me into the experiences of both himself and each of the family he talked about. I found the book so so sad but told with great humour, frankness and the honesty in the book was both shocking and disturbing while refreshing and endearing. It is hilarious about the saddest things, real black humour very 'irish'! . Now I want Amanda's ...

Sonny Liston vs. Cassius Clay1 review
Bill Cayton
Cayton Sports, Inc., 2001
The Making Of The Legend, Parts I and II
Bill Cayton literally spent a lifetime in boxing, but he may be best remembered for releasing a number of CD's on legendary championship bouts from the original radio broadcasts through the Prime Time Boxing moniker.
This CD is the two Ali-Liston fights - I believe as many do that Ali had converted to the Nation of Islam before the first match - with Ali capturing the world title in a stunning ...

Every Time I Talk to Liston: A Novel 12 reviews
Brian De Vido
Bloomsbury USA, 2005
not my usual sort of book
I never would have even glanced at a novel on boxing, except that I had a nodding acquaintance with Brian DeVido in grad school and when I saw his novel had come out I remembered I had liked a story he wrote (also about boxing) in a class we were both taking. As it turns out, Every Time I Talk to Liston is an excellent read. It affected my views on boxing both for the worse and for the better; ...

suPERB
I can't believe this book got some luke-warm readers' reviews here! Well I for one ate it up. I'm very impressed by this writer. He is one of those writers that makes me feel amazed that I am alive while he is actually producing these wonders. My only criticism of this book is a tiny one-- i felt disappointed in "A Run Through the Jungle" when Jones felt it necessary to point out the karmic ...

The Devil and Sonny Liston 61 reviews
Nick Tosches
Back Bay Books, 2001
herein lies the issue...
While the negative reviews here hold a certain amount of water, it must be understood that this is certainly not a "traditional" biography, if a biography at all. I came upon this book from the opposite direction as previous commentators, as an fan of literature with a passing interest in boxing. Tosches' entire ouevre reads much the same way as this text: pop cultural riffing, hyperbolic ...

The Book of Six Strings The Six Fold Path of Zen Guitar (National Guitar Workshop)1 review
Philip Toshio Sudo & Tobias Hurwitz
National Guitar Workshop, 2007
Zen is Life:
I have been drawn to Philip Sudo's origional book for many years. I actually got to correspond with him a bit before he passed away.
So it was obvious to me that I needed to get the next book by Sudo and Horowitz.
You are asking for a review, but I am in the middle of College and have not really comminted myself to the book yet, this summer I will. I can only assume that this will be as ...

Culture and Teaching (Reflective Teaching and the Social Conditions of Schooling)4 reviews
Daniel P. Liston, Kenneth M. Zeichner
Lawrence Erlbaum, 1996
A ground-breaking work
After many years of working in the field of curriculum and instruction, this is by far the finest work I've read on the subject. Zeichner and Liston offer astute insights on the complex relationship between culture and teaching and this book is a must-read for all teachers and anyone with even a passing interest in the education of our nation's children. Highly recommended.
