HarperEntertainment, 2007

One Eyed Visionary
Few have personified the phrase "self-made man" as did legendary entertainer Sammy Davis, Jr. (1925-1990). The world remembers Davis for his varied and extraordinary accomplishments as an actor, singer, musician, dancer, and comedian. But hardly anyone outside his circle of friends and family has been familiar with his photography--until now. With this hefty book, interspersed with reminisces ...

The Ultimate Care Guide
This is the most complete and accurate guide to caring for pets rats that I have ever read. It is a terrible shame that it has been allowed to go out of print. It is an indispensible reference for new and experienced rat owners. Nutrition, training, history, health...it's all here, along with some really cute photos.

Rats in the Grain: The Dirty Tricks and Trials of Archer Daniels Midland, the Supermarket to the World19 reviews
James B. Lieber

Basic Books, 2002

ADM, ... enterprise, punishes whistleblower
Attorney Lieber deserves high praise for his objective, informative presentation of the antitrust criminal case vs. Archer Daniels Midland, the agribusiness giant, that ADM, its powerful lawyers and Clinton's Justice Department did not want published. To his credit, he continued to pursue this case after most reporters backed off and swallowed the dizzying spin and disinformation that ADM's CEO ...

Tales of a Rat Hunting Man10 reviews
David Brian Plummer

Tideline Publications Promotions, 2008

Rats!
This book is a favorite of mine. It is one of the best books on hunting ever written. Despite its apocalyptic setting, "Tales of a Rat Hunting Man" contains more wildness and freedom than the vast majority of books and magazines on hunting. That description doesn't do it justice. This is a fun book, one that you won't be able to put down. The descriptions of rats and terriers and rat hunts will ...

The Tale of One Bad Rat13 reviews
Bryan Talbot

Rebound by Sagebrush, 1995

A Real Stunner
Like Spiegelman's Maus and Satrapi's Persepolis books, this graphic novel shows how powerful this genre can be in dealing with brutality, in this case with childhood sexual abuse as well as with animal experimentation, social isolation, homelessness, and a horrifying family life. As society and family prey on Helen, the protagonist, she thinks, she reads, she develops her own thoughts and insists ... 		  
  







  
  
Egan's Rats: The Untold Story the Prohibition-era Gang That Ruled St. Louis8 reviews
Daniel Waugh

Cumberland House Publishing, 2007

Beyond Capone and Murder Inc
"Egan's Rats- the Untold Story of the Prohibition-era Gang that Ruled St. Louis" fills a void in the American gangster history record. The lion's share of the subject coverage has traditionally gone to Chicago and New York, because they gave us Al Capone and Murder Inc. The macabre celebrity that these gangland figures achieved eclipsed the lives and crimes of the men who made St. Louis a ...

Rats: Complete Care Guide14 reviews
Debbie Ducommun

BowTie Press, 2002

A very informative book
We landed ourselves a pet rat a little over a year ago. Neither of us really knew much about rats, but we muddled through researching here and there on the internet and asking questions at the pet shop, etc. Our rat seemed healthy and happy, but I always worried that we might be missing something. I received this book for Christmas, and by the end of Christmas morning I had read 2/3 of it! ... 		  
  







  
  
Lies Startups Tell Themselves to Avoid Marketing: A No Bullsh*t Guide for Ph.D.s, Lab Rats, Suits and ...9 reviews
Sandra Holtzman, Jean Kondek

Select Books (NY), 2007

The Worst Lies? The Ones We Tell Ourselves
I received this book from a friend, and it was one of the best gifts I received this year. In marketing as in life, one of the most damaging problems is ironically one that can be solved so simply - self-delusion. Like a dope-slap to the head, this book woke me up to some problems on my company Web site. Besides the advice, a key feature of the book is the collection of examples of start-ups ... 		  
  







  
  
For Your Paws Only (Spy Mice)9 reviews
Heather Vogel Frederick

Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing, 2005

10 year old boy review
Great two books with a good plot and lots of action. Many times I stop reading a book because I can figure out what will happen. With Spy Mice I couldn't figure out what was going to happen, it kept me on a cliff hanger the whole time. The book kept me reading late into the night in my bed. 		  
  







  
  
The Corporate Rat Race: The Rats Are Winning: A Game Plan for Surviving and Thriving in Corporate America8 reviews
Paul Ulasien

PublishAmerica, 2006

A Captivating and Practical Book
Mr. Ulasien took a very practical and applicable view point of a hot topic among Corporate America workers today. Not only did the title catch my attention, but the book totally captivated me. It was obvious that the author spent many hours researching the evolution of Corporate America, and how the rat race came to be. I thoroughly enjoyed reading about his and others' experiences, and I ...
