Tyler E. Boudreau

Feral House, 2008

Thoughtful and Convincing
Tyler Boudreau's Packing Inferno is provocative and moving. It is the story of a gradual awakening. Boudreau does relate some hellish experiences in some detail, but he also interprets those experiences, and provides their context. Many of the best passages of the book are insightful descriptions of Boudreau's complex interactions with other complex human beings. Boudreau tells a gripping ...

Richard C. Rattenbury

ZON International Publishing, 1993

Beautiful Coffee Table Book
I saw this book several years ago in a book catalogue, I put off buying it because there really didn't seem to be enough subject matter to justify such a book. I could not have been more wrong. When I finally had one in hand I realized there really was a rich wealth of interesting material especially historically. This book shows the colorful evolution of holsters in the American West ...

Introduction to Circle Packing: The Theory of Discrete Analytic Functions
Kenneth Stephenson

Cambridge University Press, 2005

The topic of circle packing was born of the computer age but takes its inspiration and themes from core areas of classical mathematics.

This book lays out their study, from first definitions to latest theory, computations, and applications. The topic can be enjoyed for the visual appeal of the packing images - over ...

Peter Rachleff

South End Press, 1999

Book Gives Hope for the Future
Rachleff, labor historian who "studies the past because he is interested in the future", writes the perfect and much needed antidote to Barbara Koppel's Academy Award-winning documentary about the Hormel Strike, a film that cast the P-9ers and their supporters as "hapless victims" engaged in a hopeless cause. As an academic AND an activist who personally participated in this struggle and became ...

Doña María's Story: Life History, Memory, and Political Identity (Latin America Otherwise)

1 review
Daniel James

Duke University Press, 2000

The voice of a "descamisada"
In the famous musical EVITA, Eva Peron sings to her followers, the "descamisados" (Spanish for "the shirtless ones"). Dona Maria, the subject of DONA MARIA'S STORY, was a real life descamisada. She was a follower of Juan and Eva Peron. Therefore, I believe this is an important book because this is the first time an account of someone who was actually there - someone favorable to the Perons - has ...
