This book is excellent. This book not only provides an insight into the world of W.S. Burroughs, but also brief insight into the lives of such figures as Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac. There are picturs throughout, and numerous quotes from Burroughs to spark the imagination, and promote new ...

Progressive Nation: A Travel Guide with 400+ Left Turns and Inspiring Landmarks 1 review Jerome Pohlen
Chicago Review Press, 2008
Travelling through progressive America.
This book has been so needed. So often, as we travel the U.S., the only radio options we have are right-wing blowhards like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity. The corporatist and militarist control over our media Orwell Rolls in His Grave misleads people into thinking that America is a right-wing ...

Josephine Baker: The Hungry Heart 4 reviews Jean-Claude Baker
Cooper Square Press, 2001
Fantastique!
+ An Absorbing Read + A fond, passionate portrait of a hard-to-pin-down woman
A perfectly balanced expose of this legendary and highly complex superstar: Amoral in extremis, manic and delusional, but blessed with indomitable human spirit. Excellent historical perspective throughout. A beautifully written biography which does not succumb to the tawdry, despite its detailed ...

Word Virus: The William S. Burroughs Reader (Burroughs, William S.) 7 reviews William S. Burroughs
Grove Press, 2000
great collection
+ Useful introduction to the author's work + Chilling
A very exspansive and definitive collection for the Burroughs enthusist. This does not have it all, but it does offer a generous portion of this man's work. Including the forementioned, in the other reviews, colaboration with Jack Kerouac. Grauerholz really put togther this labor of love. I'd ...

Excellent For Younger Kids
+ Inspirational for youth
I bought this as a gift for my niece last Christmas. It was admittedly an attempt to expose her to other cultures and achievements. The best compliment was paid as she described the book to her teacher, who asked that she bring this in to read it to the class. I read this and its a good explanation ...

Logic and Mr. Limbaugh: A Dittohead's Guide To Fallacious Reading 24 reviews Ray Perkins
Open Court, 1998
Useful study of an unpleasant fool
+ Very Entertaining + Excellent Introduction to Logic and the Study of Fallacies
Limbaugh is not a nice man - witness his recent attack on Michael J. Fox. Nor is he an honest man. This excellent book exposes Limbaugh's lies, fallacies and arrogance. Limbaugh's views are faith-based, not sustained by the evidence available. His opinions are strongly held, but that is no proof of ...

Alvin W. Gouldner: Sociologist and Outlaw Marxist 1 review James J. Chriss
Ashgate Publishing, 1999
Pretty Good
I did not give this book five stars because I felt Chriss didn't talk about Gouldner's "Darkside of the Dialectic" trilogy enough, and most Gouldner scholars agree that those three books are by far Gouldner's most insightful and significant. In particular, I was disappointed that Chriss didn't talk ...

+ Powerful and stunning fictionalized (but fact-based) history + dvd
This movie is one of the most powerful of it's type. When it was first out, there were two other movies depicting the genocides and problems facing african nations. While each is very good, Hotel Rwanda is the best. It's simple story about a simple man saving hundreds of people, and the personal ...
