Somewhere Today
Westminster, Maryland, U.S.A. Candlewick 1992 1564020746 Cloth New New
1564020746 From Publishers Weekly The conspicuous artistry evidenced in such works of Kitchen's as Animal Alphabet and Gorilla Chinchilla are readily apparent here, though without this author-illustrator's customary creative flair. In 12 spreads, creatures ranging from the relatively familiar (rattlesnake, sea otter) to the more exotic (western grebe, archerfish) are characterized in a sort of scattershot Wild Kingdom. The paintings once again demonstrate Kitchen's mastery of true-to-life animal portraiture--the fetching sea otter basks in a rock-edged sea of luminous gray; two courting bald eagles, locked in "a spectacular display of aerial acrobatics," appear frozen against a distant mountain range. Perhaps because of this book's serious purpose, however, Kitchen's light touch (frequent drollery, in fact) is absent. The myriad facts, though often engrossing, are presented in rather dry, textbook-like fashion, while the eponymous linkage (each textual section notes that the creature is engaging in typical behavior "somewhere today") is a somewhat tenuous device. Informative but disappointing. Ages 4-up. Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc. From School Library Journal Grade 2-5-- Kitchen highlights a unique characteristic of each of 12 different animals. These creatures, not limited to one geographic area, are painted in acrylics in the author/illustrator's distinctive, dramatic, uncluttered style, appearing on the right side of each spread; on the left, in two or three succinct paragraphs, is a discussion of, for example, why dung beetles shape dung into balls, or how a sidewinder rattlesnake moves across the desert. While this organizing concept could be accused of falling into the ``gee-whiz'' school of science, the elegance and accessibility of the presentation should lead readers to other more detailed explanations of animal behavior. --Ellen Fader, Westport Public Library, CT Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Follow the Dream: The Story of Christopher Columbus
Westminister, Maryland, U.S.A. Knopf Books for Young Readers 1995 0679806288 Hardcover New New
0679806288 From Publishers Weekly Portraying Columbus from his boyhood to his first landing in the Americas, Sis's ( Waving ; Alphabet Soup ) account is straightforward but somewhat flat. Though his minimal text often reads like a rushed summary, his artwork is extraordinary. With their rich, earthy hues, fine cross-hatching and, in many instances, the semblance of parchment or aged oils, these illustrations recall the maps, charts and paintings of Columbus's own era. Sis is especially adept at evoking the life of the mind and suggesting bridges between reality and imagination. In one particularly striking scene, the child Columbus, charged with weaving a bolt of cloth, imagines a world where the loom is his ship and the star-studded cloth his sail; in another, the monsters of the deep are depicted as they might be envisioned by the fearful men sailing west for the first time. Ages 5-10. Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc. From School Library Journal Grade 2-4--A fascinating artistic represen tation of the discovery of the New World. In a preface, Sis makes refer ence to Columbus escaping the walls of fear and ignorance that encompassed 15th-century Europe and uses that mo tif freely throughout--as a curtain framing a view of Genoa, a background for pictures of Columbus's early life, and in an endpaper map of Europe sur rounded by a wall. The illustrations, ex ecuted in a variety of media--oil, ink, watercolor, and gouache--show scenes from the explorer's life as well as some of the many imaginary creatures that populated the Europeans' picture of the outside world at that time. Sis uses col ors ranging from drab browns and grays, to a rose-colored sky that is a background for the king and queen of Spain, and deep blues and greens for the ocean. A double-page medieval- style map is bordered with important dates and small pictures representing those dates, while another double page shows many postage-stamp-size repre sentations of the sea as described in Co lumbus's log. The many details on each page invite individual readers to pay close attention, but the brief, clear text and framed illustrations lend them selves equally well to group sharing. Make room on your crowded Colum bus shelf for this one. -Jean H. Zim merman, Willett School, South River, NJ Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc.

The High Times Reader
Nation Books 2004 1560256249 Trade Paperback New New
1560256249 Book Description Since its launch in 1974 by cultural outlaw and international drug smuggler Thomas King For?ade, High Times magazine has served as a preeminent showcase of the American counterculture. Conceived to ?bring a new consciousness into the media,? the magazine?s first issue sold 25,000 copies. Although the past 30 years have spanned three editorial reigns, High Times has remained committed to its sharp defense of free speech, constitutional rights and the freedom of the individual. The High Times Reader will chronicle the evolution of American counterculture over the past three decades, offering a unique historical perspective on the current tendencies toward suppressing American civil liberties. Contributions will include Timothy Leary?s space-travel manifesto Terra II from the magazine?s inaugural issue, articles by Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs, Ron Rosenbaum, Legs McNeil and Paul Krassner?who wrote a column entitled ?Brain Damage Report??interviews with Johnny Rotten, Larry David, and an 8-page photo insert of the most infamous sexy High Times centerfolds, along with some of their more memorable covers. Amazon Review: 5.0 out of 5 stars High Times had articles?!, March 1, 2006 A Kid's Review As it turns out High Times is (or at least was) more than an assortment of budshots and hydro ads. This book is a FASCINATING collection of articles, essays, and interviews detailing the impact and spread of pscyotropic substances upon contemporary culture and it's figures. This book is a must for anyone wanting an intimate look at how mind altering substances made their way into popular society. This book names names left and right. The most interesting article is a history of how LSD and cannabis became popular in a very micro sense. The article doesn't just talk about Albert Hoffman's bike ride, it tells the story of how LSD made it's way from Sandoz, how a guy named Owlsey became the prime producer for all of the acid consumers in the mid 60s, the celebrities he shared it with, the celebrities those celebrities shared it with, and the celebrities those celebrities shared it with. Wanna know who turned on the Beatles? Wanna read about all the coke politicians did? Wanna read about Hunter S Thompson? Abbie Hoffman? Taking acid in Golden Gate Park? Wanna read about Bob Marley talking about his acid tester and how hard it is to find good bud? Wanna read about how JFK got his weed? Wanna read about the dark side of Walt Disney? Wanna read about taking DMT in the jungle with shamans? These are just the topics my stoner brain can remember, there were many more (I lost the book months ago, but I'm buying another). The High Times reader is a valuable book because it doesn't present drug culture in a mythical fashion. There is a very authentic quality to it. The writing was done by the counterculture, for the counterculture, during the height of the counterculture, by people who lived the counterculture. This book provides an intimate look at drugs and the counter-culture that isn't available anywhere else. I cringe to think that most of the information contained within is already forgotten, and as a result of High Times's reputation will probably never be remembered. I thought I knew the history of drugs, but what I knew was the history of drugs as told by The Man. This totally changed my perspective of the last 50 years. I wasn't old enough to experience the countercoulter, and my attempts to understand it didn't paint the whole picture (reading the Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, PiHKAL/TiKHAL, watching The Weathermen Underground, Woodstock), but it was this unsuspecting book, the book I had no hopes for, that eventually put the finishes touches on the canvas of the past bringing it to life.

American Slavery, American Freedom
History Book Club by arrangement with WW Norton & Company, Inc 2005 0965727009 Cloth New New
0965727009 Front states, "Francis Parkman Prize Edition.with a new introduction by the author." Rear states "A history book club exclusive edition." new book in perfect condtion; not remaindered or marked. Product Description The men who came together to found the independent United States, writes Edmund S. Morgan, either held slaves or were willing to join hands with those who did. George Washington, hero of the Revolution, was the master of several hundred slaves. Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independence, owned more than two hundred men, women, and children while eloquently defending the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. In this classic work, Edmund S. Morgan investigates the bond between slavery and freedom that lies at the very heart of our nation. Through a meticulous history of Virginia, from its earliest settlement through the seventeenth century boom in tobacco, the gradual replacement of servitude with slavery, and the rise of republican ideology, Morgan reveals the deep and interlocking relationship between these seemingly contradictory ideas. Winner of the 1976 Francis Parkman Prize from the Society of American Historians, American Slavery, American Freedom is now available in an exclusive HBC edition with a new introduction from Eric Foner. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Edmund S. Morgan is Sterling Professor of History Emeritus at Yale University. He is the author of Inventing the People: The Rise of Popular Sovereignty in England and America, winner of the Bancroft Prize, and, most recently, of the best-selling Benjamin Franklin. Morgan was awarded the National Humanities Medal in 2000. New York Times Book Review Thoughtful, suggestive and highly readable. Book Description "If it is possible to understand the American paradox, the marriage of slavery and freedom, Virginia is surely the place to begin," writes Edmund S. Morgan in American Slavery, American Freedom, a study of the tragic contradiction at the core of America. Morgan finds the key to this central paradox in the people and politics of the state that was both the birthplace of the revolution and the largest slaveholding state in the country. With a new introduction. Winner of the Francis Parkman Prize and the Albert J. Beveridge Award. About the Author Edmund S. Morgan is Sterling Professor of History Emeritus at Yale University and the author of Benjamin Franklin. Morgan was awarded the National Humanities Medal in 2000.

Part Two turns to context, with essays assessing the available English translations of the Elementary Forms of Religious Life, and exploring how to teach the historical, critical, and biographical framework of Durkheim's work on religion. Part Threetakes up questions of how to incorporate Durkheim's work in courses concerned with ethics, gender studies, and social theory. About the Author Terry F. Godlove is at Hofstra University.

1888952377 5.0 out of 5 stars Great quote book, July 25, 2003 By Lamont G. Sible Jr. - This is another great book of quotes from Southern Generals. ( actually you should by the set, which is four books of these) I really enjoyed the quotes, everyone taken from the history books. There is one quote, which states, had Lee listened to Longstreet at Gettysburg, the Southern people would today be Free! ( Oh give me a break!) Ok, that is a direct quote, but it's one Longstreet wrote, simplying putting words in Lee's mouth. Please don't discard the book for this single quote, as it's a great book. I'd like to see more of these quote books on all the Civil War Generals.

Science-Fiction Classics: The Stories That Morphed Into Movies
New York TV Books 1999 1575000407 Trade Paperback Fine VG+
1575000407 Amazon.com Though it is rich with Twilight Zone-esque images, sexual and racial stereotypes, and charmingly transparent plots, this anthology is surprisingly refreshing. After a full decade of cybermania and nanotech angst, Science Fiction Classics offers a trip through time to a more innocent, earnest age. It's amusing to see how mistrusting of science our forefathers were, even as they embraced it; but it's even more interesting to examine the roots of today's SF and wonder where the next generation will go with it. Science Fiction Classics allows us to graph science fiction's various incarnations--from dark, paranoid horror stories; drippy fairytales; and florid, pulpy SF to the more modern character-driven sagas; huge-scale space operas; and the aggro-techno seizures of the '90s. With few exceptions--one of which is "Farewell to the Master" on which The Day the Earth Stood Still is based--these stories are not works of art. In fact, some of them are downright hard to get through. What they are is a loosely focused prism through which we can examine the genesis of a genre. --Jhana Bach Amazon Review: 4.0 out of 5 stars Treasure trove for sci-fi buffs, August 22, 2000 By A Customer I ordered this book, hoping it included EIGHT O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING by Ray Nelson (basis for THEY LIVE). It does! The surprise is the other selections included, among which are the stories that inspired such films as, THIS ISLAND EARTH, THE THING , DEATH RACE 2000, THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL, and INVASION OF THE SAUCER MEN. I especially recommend "The Alien Machine", "The Cosmic Frame", "Who Goes There?", and "The Racer". While none of these tales could be called a masterpiece of the genre, collectively they are a great read. Get this book! Condition: Clean tight and unmarked. Appears unread. Tanned pages.
