The Polar Express Twentieth Anniversary Edition6 reviews
Chris Van Allsburg

Houghton Mifflin, 2005

Unlike the movie it "inspired" this is pure Christmas magic!
Chris Van Allsburg's picture book THE POLAR EXPRESS is a Christmas classic anyone can enjoy. Both illustrations and text are wonderful and the book hits just the right magical mysterious notes with none of the creepiness the Tom Hanks movie can claim. And the ending is pitch perfect in capturing the spirit of Santa Claus and Christmas.

Andrews McMeel Publishing, 1996

Cathy lovers will enjoy this collection
If you've been following Cathy for the past twenty years or even if you haven't (and I haven't... I've only done so for the last 4 and a half), you'll enjoy this look back at some of the highlights in this long-running strip. Punctuating this plethora of cartoon memories, starting from 1976, are short commentaries by Guisewite herself on Cathy and her place in the social order of that period ... 		  
  







  
  
Gift from the Sea: Twentieth Anniversary Edition106 reviews
Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Walker, 1985

A Joy Forever
What more can be said about this lovely collection of thoughts? Even as it celebrates its 50th anniversary, it is as fresh as the day it was penned. This book is a keeper if ever there was one, a volume to be read and re-read and handed down to one's children, which is what I intend to do with the most recent Gift from the Sea that I bought.

Mass. Anti-slavery Meeting (1855 : Boston

Cornell University Library, 1855

Discover the True Revolution - The Abolitionist History of Boston and The United States of America
This is an excellent book, and a must read for any type of historical educator of historian. The book Sheds light on both American History and African-American History, and give the reader a look at the confrontational times of the Post-Colonial Era before the Emancipation Proclamation enacted in January of 1863. In the proceedings of the book we find that during this literary age of The ... 		  
  







  
  
The Klamath Knot: Explorations of Myth and Evolution, Twentieth Anniversary Edition3 reviews
David Rains Wallace

University of California Press, 2003

Overlooked gem of natural philosophy
Nature writing always carries something of the romantic with it, and this is its greatest strength and greatest curse. As a strength, it provides a window into the sublime limit which nature opens for her human observers. Such romanticism is a weakness, however, if it devolves into a reified hymn to an imagined nature which is as unreal as the imagined un-nature from which one hopes to fly. ... 		  
  







  
  
The River Why, Twentieth-Anniversary Edition93 reviews
David James Duncan

Sierra Club Books, 2002

Wise Like A Fish
Lovers of fishing, or Oregon, or life, or the search for life's meaning should love this book. So should readers interested in thoughtful, creative and honest writing; or of clever, insightful and profound character development. Gus Orviston is an enduring main character, and his discovery of his brother, Bill Bob's, unique and beautiful self, by itself, makes the book worth reading. With a ... 		  
  







  
  
The Second Self: Computers and the Human Spirit, Twentieth Anniversary Edition5 reviews
Sherry Turkle

The MIT Press, 2005

A bold academic foray into a new media
Turkle's seminal text examines the social implications of our increasingly computer-suffused lives. With a strong emphasis on individual interactions with computers, this ethnography describes an emerging post-modern computer culture, and goes on to interpret it in philosophical terms. A bit utopian, very smart, acts as a bit of a pre-quel to her recent work, Life on the Screen 		  
  







  
  
A rumor of war: With a twentieth anniversary postscript by the author105 reviews
Philip Caputo

Henry Holt and Co, 1996

Excellent look into front line Vietnam
I thought this book was the best book on Vietnam that I have ever read. Its a facinating look into life as a line officer in a front line Marine Infantry batallion during the early part of the war. Caputo holds nothing back when it comes to describing life on the front line and what goes through the minds of these young, too young Marines who fought on the front line. An excellent read and I ... 		  
  







  
  
Conjunctions: 37, Twentieth Anniversary Issue1 review
Bradford Morrow

Bard College, 2001

A wonderful collection in its own right
Conjunctions has for a long time been a source of truly new and groundbreaking writing in American Literature. The current issue not only continues this trend, but even exceeds the high water mark set by earlier editions of the journal, taking the time, as it does, to focus only on prose (saving the poetry, I understand, for the next issue). Collected in one place we have stories by some of ... 		  
  







  
  
A Cast Of Killers: The Twentieth Anniversary Edition18 reviews
Sidney Kirkpatrick

BookSurge Publishing, 2007

As Compelling as a Good Film, Which It Should Have Been
A Cast of Killers is a once-in-a-lifetime read: a nonfiction tale told in the style of the best detective fiction, based on the memoir kept by the "private eye", moviemaker King Vidor, discovered by would-be Vidor biographer Sidney Kirkpatrick. Vidor didn't make the film he wanted to, based on the facts he uncovered and the conclusions to which they led, because some of the principals in the case ... 		  
  







  
  
The Illegitimacy of Jesus: A Feminist Theological Interpretation of the Infancy Narratives, Expanded ...1 review
Jane, Schaberg

Sheffield Phoenix Press Ltd, 2006

She has got balls
Loved this book. Compared to Catholic wafflers like Raymond Brown and Luke Johnson, she stands head and shoulders above them in terms of scholarship and intellectual honesty. Of course, Jesus had a biological father. Of course the gospel writers knew that. They were anti pagans, anti Zeus and anti Apollo. They were Jews coming from the Old Testament tradition. No virgin births in Hebrew ... 		  
  







  
  
So You Want to Be a Wizard (20th): Twentieth-Anniversary Edition8 reviews
Diane Duane, 2003

WHY AREN'T MORE PEOPLE READING THIS BOOK?!!?!?!?
This was the first book I ever read by Diane Duane, and I must say she is one of, if not THE, most talented author I have ever read. Like everything else by her that I have read, this book is very intellectually challenging and even upon rereading it recently I didn't understand everything. But who cares?! This book (the whole series, really) is unbelievably creative and breaks the mold in every ... 		  
  







  
  
Year of the King: An Actor's Diary and Sketchbook - Twentieth Anniversary Edition2 reviews

Limelight Editions, 2006

The actor's process, clear and personal
"Year of the King" is a fine opportunity to watch an actor prepare for a role. In this case, the actor, Antony Sher, on the verge of leaving the Royal Shakespeare Company, is offered Richard III, one of Shakespeare's most complex and twisted characters. The book is Sher's journal, filled with a mixture of backstage anecdotes, evocative illustrations by Sher, and moments when the acting process ... 		  
  







  
  
The Stranger Beside Me: The Twentieth Anniversary Edition178 reviews
Ann Rule

W. W. Norton & Company, 2000

Very gripping
When you know the ending it is hard to write or read a book without being biased with the knowledge. This book weaves what was known and what was not at any given time so well that in your mind you keep trying to reconcile the two and for those moments you do not want to connect them to the end that is now so well known. The way she introduces Ted in the beginning and the way events unravel, you ... 		  
  







  
  
Night Stalking: A Twentieth Century Anniversary Kolchak Companion2 reviews
Mark Dawidziak

Image Pub of New York, 1991

Complete, all-you'll-every-need
This wonderful book is a complete, all-you'll-every-need look at the Kolchak movies (The Night Stalker and The Night Strangler), and the 1974-75 television show, Kolchak: The Night Stalker. Coming complete with interviews with many people involved, particularly the primary movers and shakers (of whom Darren McGavin was one), the book tells the story of the movies' inceptions and execution, and ...

Exposes wriggling psychic life under the Blarney Stone
A superb description and analysis of the pathologies in Irish styles of interaction, conversational and behavioural. Written by an American psycho-anthropologist conducting fieldwork in Ireland. Brings a detached eye to Irish patterns of conversation and communication. Should be required reading for Irish people seeking self understanding and insight into why their culture is how it is. Caused ... 		  
  







  
  
The Unbearable Lightness of Being: Twentieth Anniversary Edition242 reviews
Milan Kundera

HarperCollins, 2004

great
i really enjoyed this book, it's one of those ones you have to think about. the story follows two couples, tomas and tereza and sabina and franz. these people are used to embody certain ideals and characteristics, and i interpreted their actions more as metaphor rather than just an act in itself. i suppose one of the major themes in the book is expressed in the title, this idea of weight in ...
