The Greatest Firefighter Stories Never Told

Remembering Especially the Firefighter Heroism on 911 and at the OLA School Fire
There are many different instances, covered in this small book, where firefighters had to risk their lives. These include the aftermath of the Mexico earthquake, arson-for-profit situations, the burning WTC towers on 911, and the Our Lady of the Angels School Fire of December 1958. I focus my review on the latter two. Imagine being in a skyscraper that is collapsing, hearing the sounds of the ...

Handprint Books, 2000

A rare treat for children and adults alike
The cover of this book caught my attention at once, and as soon I opened it, I found myself tyransported to another world, one I couldn't wait to share with my children. The story is simply yet beautifully told and is complemented so well by the rich tapestry of the illustrations. The book is filled with heart and immediately captured the imagination and interest of my two children, ages 5 and ...

KEPT ME AT THE EDGE OF MY SEAT!!
What more can I say? All of the money in the world could not get me to pry my fingers off of this book. In Collins' sophomore release of the Santangelo saga we get reaquainted with the awe-inspiring, business savy and headstrong Lucky Santangelo, daughter of the notorious Gino "The Ram" Santagelo -- former mob boss. Not one iota of what Collins' writes in this book comes off as being ...

'LADY BOSS'
I recently finished 'LADY BOSS' the third book in the Lucky Santangelo series and I absolutely loved it! Where 'LUCKY' was good 'LADY BOSS' was great. In this third installment Lucky goes to Hollywood in hopes of acquiring a major movie studio, however, just before she closes the deal she finds out that there is a catch. She has to work undercover at the studio for six weeks as a plain Jane ...

Sulla, the Elites and the Empire: A Study of Roman Policies in Italy and the Greek East (Impact of Empire)
Federico Santangelo

Brill Academic Publishers, 2007

This book is a study of Sulla's policies in Italy and in the Greek East. Its main aim is to show how Sulla revived Rome's alliances with the local elites at a critical moment for the survival of her Mediterranean hegemony. The discussion calls into play a wide range of political, economic and religious issues, and the argument is developed from three complementary standpoints: role of elites, administration, and ideology. "Sulla, the Elites and ...

Harpercollins, 1997

Vendetta
This fourth installment to the insanely juicy Lucky Santangelo series is probably my favorite of all. In Vendetta, Lucky winds up in the most precarious circumstance she's ever come across when her treasured Panther Studios is stolen right up under her by Donna Landsmen ... the corrupt and evil widow of Lucky's old nemesis, Santino Bonnatti. Although Donna knows what a lying filthy snake she ...

Dangerous Kiss (Lucky Santangelo Novels)

Jackie Collins

Pocket, 2000

absolutely marvelous!!!!
Dangerous Kiss is so different from the other Lucky Santangelo novels because it does not feature the Bonnatti family. I really loved that it introduced new characters to the world of Lucky Santangelo and Lennie Golden. This book is definitely worth five stars because you won't want to put the book down. It will keep you wondering about the fates of Lucky and everyone that she loves!

On Latinidad: U.S. Latino Literature and the Construction of Ethnicity
MARTA CAMINERO-SANTANGELO

University Press of Florida, 2007

"From the early pages, in which Caminero-Santangelo asks us to explore stories of collective identity implicit in the social construction of Latino-ness, to the conclusion, which breaks through much of the confusion by calling on her readers to think about latinidad as commitment, Caminero-Santangelo gives us something weighty to chew on practically every page, and all of it in her smart, lucid, elegant prose."--Debra A. Castillo, ...

Jeff Shapiro

Berkley Hardcover, 2005

You'll Want to Stay in Sant'Angelo
Jeff Shapiro has written another gem of a story set in the small Tuscan town of Sant'Angelo. As in Renato's Luck, the subplots are introduced gently as we enjoy the characters and the culture of the town. We become familiar with several intriguing characters, all of them presented with the sympathy and humor that comes with knowing someone well. Religious and relationship themes are interesting, ...

Elena Santangelo

Minotaur Books, 1999

Knocked my socks off!
I should know better than to start a mystery novel before bedtime. Especially one as gripping and well-written as BY BLOOD POSSESSED. After several sleepless hours, completely engrossed in the novel, I realized that Elena Santangelo is definitely a force to be reckoned with. And no, I did not get to sleep until I finished the book. This, her first mystery novel, not only delivers one of the best ...

Novell's Guide to Troubleshooting NetWare® 5

Rick Sant'Angelo

Wiley, 1999

Novell info, at a price
This book offers a tremendous amount of helpful content. However, that content is often blurred by bad attitude and poor writing. Throughout the book, the author makes remarks that can easily be seen as pot-shots at other Novell "experts". This attitude clouds the issues at hand, and in some places completely confuses the reader. Even worse than the attitude-filled prose are the many typos and ...

African Fiction And Joseph Conrad: Reading Postcolonial Intertextuality
Byron Caminero-Santangelo

State University of New York Press, 2004

By exploring the relationships between African novels and Joseph Conrad's fiction, this book examines the many discontinuous functions postcolonial revisions of "the canon" can serve. While contemporary literary studies too often represent such revisions merely as a means for postcolonial writers to challenge a colonial worldview, Caminero-Santangelo explores how African authors engage with a wide range of historically specific ideologies ...
