Gun Running for Fun and Profit.
This well-written book was delivered on time and in good condition. My review title is light-hearted, the subject of the book is not. This is an inside look at the rise of Victor Bout, a former Soviet Air Force officer, as the superstar of modern gun running. The details of how he did it, and how the US and other nations and NGOs tracked and treated his organization, are all in the book. This ...

The true and sometimes hidden tragedy of life at sea...
I am considering joining the merchant marines and this book definitley gave me an inside look into where they have been and where they are going. The main part of the book takes you along with the crew of the marine electric, and the final voyage which took several sailors to their cold, watery death. I could not put this book down as I read about the poor conditions of the ship, the varied ...

Wonderful Ticket to Adventure
Most years we vacation in Mammoth. This book describes a number of convenient and interesting side trips to take with the family. We wander around, sometimes visiting the same features, sometimes visiting a new site. Always appreciating more & more of the world around us. My children have a much better feel for geological processes and their impact on the landscape than do their peers. The book ...

The Merchant of Death: Pendragon Graphic Novel (Pendragon (Graphic Novels))

Aladdin, 2008

A refreshing new look at the Pendragon series
When you see "graphic novel" the first thought on an adult or teen's mind is that the book is only for those interested in comics or for young children. However, when I, a Pendragon addict, saw this release I read it only to find a refreshing new look at the series. The pictures are drawn in a style unlike the cartoony magna graphic novels, allowing the reader to take the story seriously and ...

HarperOne, 1990

This insightful book unpeels the scientific revolution.
Merchant sets the record straight in this powerful, straightforward book. She illustrates the abuses of political power that drove the scientific revolution, dethrones its "father," Sir Francis Bacon, and unravels the presumption of the scientific, paternal myth. This scholarly book provides the reader with the knowledge to ask the right questions and demand answers: about ecology, nature, ...

Bruce Lee: A Warrior's Journey
John R. Little, John Little

McGraw-Hill, 2002

Bruce Lee's last movie, Game of Death , was released shortly after the megastar's tragic death. From its first screening, controversy surrounded the film, with millions of fans worldwide believing it misrepresented Lee's vision and undermined his legitimacy as a martial artist and philosopher. Bruce Lee: A Warrior's Journey offers readers a unique insider's account of the remaking of this incomparable film--a film in which Lee intended to ...

Night of Stone: Death and Memory in Twentieth-Century Russia

Catherine Merridale

Viking Adult, 2001

Probaby the best book you'll read this year!
This is the most moving and memorable book I've read for many years. The scope is breath-taking, no less than an investigation of the Russian attitude to death, and ways of coping with it, from the late Czarist times to the present day. Given Russia's ghastly 20th century history the story is a terrible one and at many places in the book one has to pause, quite overcome by pity and emotion. ...

A book about redemption
I picked up this book on tape at the library for a quickie read) to listen to while passing the time doing mundane household chores. What a nice surprise to find this multi-layered novel interwoven with human condition and survival in difficult circumstances. I found the story compelling and the characters flawed and interesting (always a plus). In the end the tale is all about the chance for ...

The Rabbi and the Hit Man: A True Tale of Murder, Passion, and the Shattered Faith of a Congregation

Arthur J. Magida

HarperCollins, 2003

Well Written and Fascinating
Overshadowed in the headlines of 1994 by an ex-football player murdering his wife and her friend, Rabbi Fred Neulander unhatched an equally devious plot. This serial philanderer, in order to marry a girlfriend, sought the murder of his wife. In an easy flowing style, Arthur Magida tells this story in "The Rabbi and the Hitman". Not being familiar with many of the Jewish customs, I ...

Random House Audio, 2003

Thoroughly Enjoyable
This was a great read; unfortunately it only lasted two days because I couldn't put it down. I especially enjoyed the manner in which the storylines were interwoven, almost a story within a story, like the Arabian Nights. Due to the "grittiness" of the characters it would be easy to overlook important and interesting observations on the human condition; several passages made me stop and ponder ...

Way Of Death: Merchant Capitalism And The Angolan Slave Trade, 1730-1830

Joseph Calder Miller

University of Wisconsin Press, 1996

Title not hyperbole
Joseph Miller's Way of Death is an exhaustingly long volume for a non-academic reader, but a rich and rewarding one, if you like your history deeply rooted in archival sources. The title (and headings such as "Floating Tombs" and "Merchants of Death") make the book sound like popularization, though they actually are more a reflection of Miller's penchant for metaphor, which gives the book an ...
