Belly Dance Hippie Heritage
When I look at The Sixties: Photographs by Robert Altman, I see exactly where I come from and feel full of hippie heritage pride. I'm not just speaking figuratively -- I'm talking literally, turn to page 23, and there I am, in utero - front and center. Maybe you won't see me without your ultrasound spectacles, but I see me immediately, because I've carried around a framed original print of this ...

Pop Surf Culture: Music, Design, Film, and Fashion from the Bohemian Surf Boom

Brian Chidester, Domenic Priore

Santa Monica Press, 2008

A Gorgeous and Essential Book!
Pop Surf Culture by Brian Chidester and Domenic Priore is a truly gorgeous book by any measure. The book's visual appeal is beyond great with a seemingly endless parade of rare images. The book's written content is deeply informing and essential. It is better to digest this book in small doses as the writing can be slightly numbing with its hugely dense informational onslaught. But its the ...

Great information
This is not a good read if your looking for a story. This is an encyclopedia. I love the format of this book there are two way to look up information. First is by name if you know what the name is second is by location you can look at the front of the book and look at park maps and it will tell you what has ever been there and the names so you can look it up in to the book so its good to take to ...

While watching the horrific events that unfolded on September 11, I felt a need to hear the people's accounts, the voices of the men and woman who were involved personally. Tower Stories, An Oral History of 9/11 has collaborated a collection of reports that tells how the citizens of lower Manhattan coped during the ...

The Bible for Ring-a-Ding-Ding Revolutionaries
No other decade in modern history was as influential, eclectic and packed with passion as the 1960s. From politics to pop culture, the 60s offered an incredible array of sights, sounds and swingin' sensations. It was the decade of Batman, Bond, the Beatles, bongs, Barbarella, beatniks, beach bunnies and Bob Dylan. From the Rat Pack at the dawn of the decade to the Rolling Stones at its zenith, ...

must read if you know any child with this experience
This book was written by a school principal who had students with a father in prison. The experience of helping those children led her to interview other families with a parent in prison. The combination of interviews and personal reflections make this book an honest and sensitive display of a difficult situation. I have found it to be helpful for my own understanding of students with a parent in ...

Couldn't put it down.
This delightful, easy read could be called "Zen and the art of trying-everything-for-happiness-and-enlightenment-that-you-were-afraid-or-too-busy-to-try." The author hilariously and touchingly tells his wide, deep, and long journey of attempts at personal growth and healing of his considerable neurosis. The saga is not one of a naive, crystal-swinging New Ager; it is that of an intelligent, ...

Chris Epting

Santa Monica Press, 2007

Aother GREAT book by this author
Chris Epting has once again made a book about all the places behind the history. As with his three other book I've purchased ("James Dean, "M. Monroe" & "Elvis Presley") it's a collection of cool facts about the historical value of the PLACE, in addition to the event. If you are a person that looks at a physical location (like a liquor store on the corner of 7th & Main in L.A.) and says "Wow! ...

Good Guide That Could Use More Modern Stars and Homes
This is a good guide to over 350 homes of Hollywood stars. The book orders the homes by the last name of the star, then includes the address of the home, a paragraph about the star and a paragraph about when the star lived in the home. There are small pictures of the star and the home. The book focuses a lot on really old movie stars, including many from the silent era. The few contemporary ...

Silent Traces: Discovering Early Hollywood Through the Films of Charlie Chaplin

John Bengtson

Santa Monica Press, 2006

A wonder
Bengston is insane. He's also a genius. Only crazy person would put as much work as he did into creating a masterpiece in an art and science that, until he came along, no one ever dreamed of. Think "silent film archeology," but instead of digging into the earth. Bengston dug *above* ground in today's Hollywood to find remnants of the vanished world Charlie Chaplin used as a backdrop. And he ...

Great book for Hitchcock lovers!
I have been a fan of Hitchcock since I was little as one of my dad's favorite films is "The Birds" and he and I watched it many times while I was growing up. After I got older I discovered some of Hitch's other films and have loved his work for quite a while. I was able to visit San Francisco and northern California in 2004 and one of the places I wanted to visit while there was Bodega Bay ...
