Yet with a Steady Beat: The Black Church Through a Psychological and Biblical Lens3 reviews
Lee June

Lift Every Voice, 2008

Some much information!

+ rixcie

This book took over 25 years to research and write. Dr. Lee June took his time with this one and has really explained the history of the Black church in so many facets. This is the most facinating book I've ever read. Pam Perry Chocolate Pages Reviews
  
  











  



  
Chinese Face/Off: The Transnational Popular Culture of Hong Kong (Pop Culture and Politics Asia PA)
Kwai-Cheung Lo

University of Illinois Press, 2005

Jackie Chan's high-flying stunts, giant pandas, and even the unintentionally hilarious English subtitles that often accompany Hong Kong's films are among the many targets of Kwai-Cheung Lo's in-depth study of Hong Kong popular culture. Drawing on current concepts of globalization, as well as the theories of Jacques Lacan and Slavoj Zizek, "Chinese Face/Off" explores the way in which fantasy ...
  
  











  



  
Pop Art (Basic Art)
Honnef Klaus

Taschen, 2004

Pop artists of the 1960s, heralded by the Great Andy Warhol, commented on everything from mainstream media to consumer society to advertising to product packaging with colorful and often comical works. Pop Art's profound influence on contemporary art and culture remains prominent today. Nowhere else can you find so much Pop Art in such a compact, stylish book!

Blue Monday2 reviews
Harper Barnes

Patrice Press, 1991

all that jazz

+ Great description of a time and area

"Blue Monday" does exactly what a novel should do: break down boundaries and make us feel how it is to live in another time and place. It's an alluring one, too - the jazz scene in Kansas City in the 1930s. Racial and ethnic divisions are brutal, the politicians are corrupt, crime is casual and ...

SOGGY GHOST STORY

THINGS GOING AGAINST THIS MOVIE: 1. Gregory Lee Kenyon who plays the sheriff was in the even worse DEMONICUS. 2. Jay Woelfel practically did EVERYTHING in this movie: wrote, directed, did the score, edited, casted, etc. 3. Aforementioned Kenyon was also credited as "grips" in the final ...

Spicy Slipstream Stories

Lethe Press, 2008

Spicy stories that defy genre! Alluring tales that will astound readers! Slipstream stories are that weird combination of eloquent fancy and conventional literary form. Intended to make the reader feel out of sorts within the confines of their imagination, such fiction became the darling of small press venues. And so, maybe, found its way into the hands of a few readers. But add a dash of the ...

The Big Bow Mystery3 reviews
Israel Zangwill

Dybbuk Press, LLC, 2007

Historically significant and a great read

The fact that the mystery disappears after the second chapter in no way detracts from the joy of this book. From widowed boarding house attendants to freeloading artists to a detective that might as well be the anti-Sherlock Holmes, this is one of the funniest and meanest books to come out of the ...

Watson-Guptill, 2006

best in its field (of one)

This is the best book I've seen (and I've looked through EVERYTHING at Barnes and Noble and Borders stores) on making all kinds of three-dimensional paper creations. In fact, it's pretty much one of a kind. True, as another reviewer says, it doesn't have patterns for the illustrated projects, but ...

+ One of the few to really shine...
+ Unexpected Surprise

I can't claim to be an enthusiast of the form of Manga, but when a friend who plays in the field of lobbyist politics told me about this new graphic novel to come out, I wanted to take a look. It's not every day to find a treatment of sexual identity in what I initially thought of as "comics". ...
  
  











  



  
Blue Monday: Stories of Absurd Realities and Natural Philosophies
Robert Sumrell, Kazys Varnelis

Actar, 2007

Blue Monday features three moments in modern culture that offer glimpses into our increasingly perverse relationship to architecture, cities, and objects through a lively mix of philosophy, photography, architectural drawings and models, as well as new media. The first section, Ether, explores a Los Angeles telecom hotel, One Wilshire, a 39 story building of utter banality and complete mystery. ...
  
  











  



  
Utena the Movie - Adolescence Rush1 review
Shinkichi Mitsumune

Geneon [Pioneer], 2004

Shoujo Kakumei Utena's gorgeous music

Anyone who'se ever seen even one eppisode of Shoujo Kakumei Utean knows that the music is absolutely beautiful, and the movie is no exception. Personally, I think that it's worth getting the CD just to hear Toki ni ai Wa ("At Times, Love Is..."), but that doesn't mean that the rest of the music is ...
