This book is very much a disappointment. Rather than a new book, this merely is a collection of essays mainly culled together from Leo's writings in the Socialist Register. Therefore, far from offering the possibility of renewal, just repeats the same old tired Leo-isms. One at least, hoped for a new essay or exploration of concepts raised in a "Different Kind of State". It just shows how the "New Left" has exhausted itself and cannot lend any support for building a Newer, revitalized Left. A better book is McNally's: Imagine a Better World.

Though there were many disappointments, I read the whole book and looked forward to each upcoming page. Dr Sprinkle gave a very personal and close feeling to his work, yet he left the reader CONSTANTLY waiting and wanting more information. I mean, it is all good and well to thank Mr and Mrs so-and-so and refer to their experience, but what do I know of it other than what is in the book and he gives only the briefest of sketches, if any. Also, long whiny battles with institutions and the over use of parentheses do distract from the message (Is there one?) from the book. LetÕs hope his style improves before his next book because the content of this one is fascinating.

Stretch is a great introduction to the field of panoramic photography. Nick Meers not only showcases some amazing examples of panoramic photography, but describes the wide variety of cameras and working techniques used to make the photographs. This is probably the best treatment of panoramic photography I've ever read and it makes me want to run out an purchase a horribly expensive panoramic camera.

Shame on Rotovision for printing an undersized version of this book on cheap paper stock more suitable for a magazine. The book would be spectacular in the larger format it deserves and on a decent paper stock. As it stands the photographs are unsatisfyingly small, the printing mediocre, and the binding suspect. Nick gets 5 stars for his efforts, but the substandard Rotovision presentation knocks off two stars with its shabby publishing job.

E' un libro fantastico, ma non conosco l'ingles

I finished reading this book on April 27, 1988, and in my post-reading note to myself I said: "I have just finished a book I shouldn't have bothered to read. It is written by a greatniece of Mary Phagan, who was murdered in Atlanta on Apr. 26, 1913. It quotes a lot of the trial documentation, and the governor's commutation statement, and so it was interesting as a crime account. But I really could not empathize withe the author's resistance to a pardon for Leo Frank, tho his guilt seems clearly not psychologically indicated. In fact the author's father refuses to condemn the lynching. The book is not an inspiring one.

Although one previous review states that this is not a good book to begin researching the Leo Frank/Mary Phagan case, I believe otherwise. Having just been introduced to the tragic story of little Mary Phagan, I happened upon Mary Phagan-Kean's book and read it in 3 days. I found it very interesting and informative - not just because the author is a descendant of little Mary Phagan, but because she had extensive information, whether it was the actual testimonies of the people involved or private letters sent by certain important officials regarding the case.
I went into this book without any real knowledge of the story, and although I still came out unsure as to Leo Frank's innocence, I came out with a lot of information about the trial and case itself. Sure, Mary Phagan-Kean is biased against Leo Frank and states so in this book, but it's hard not to be when there truly is a lot of "evidence" against him. True, however, that there is a lot of "evidence" supporting his innocence - and she doesn't hide that. In this book, the author doesn't tell you what to believe. She lets you decide for yourself.

If you are looking for the truth behind one of the most controversial murder cases in American history, it doesn't get any better than this. Forget the revisionist accounts which have until now masqueraded as historical fact, this book addresses the salient issues which the apologists for Leo Frank dare not address, and quite handily debunks the popular mythology of Frank's supposed innocence. The book is written by the great-niece of the victim and provides some poignant insight into her personal struggle to discover and present the truth of what really happened on that Confederate Memorial Day in 1913. By writing this book the author courageously broke her family's official silence of over seventy years on this sensitive subject, despite a relentless campaign of distorted facts, exaggerations and outright lies designed to posthumously exonerate Leo Frank. This book contains an abundance of carefully researched, factual information which was obtained from a wide variety of primary sources. It is a must-have for any serious student of the Leo Frank Case.

If you're expecting an informative book with insight into the world of advertising, you will be disappointed. This is a postcard sized collection of two line quotes few of which are inspiring or even funny. Retain your respect of Leo Burnett, don't buy this book.

I was a Burnett once. I worked in LB Taiwan for couple of years since I have graduated from the univeristy. According to publish "100 Leo's" Chinese edition, I have joined all the processes, and read it over and over to find ideas out to develop the launching news release. I do love what Leo Burnett insists about Advertising which is his favoirte career. Even though the sentences are very short, they all are smart words which make people to think deeply. I'd like to re-read it when I met some problem in my job - even I am not in an advertising related company now. And the most important thing is : I made myself a "star reacher" after having worked in LB. I do love Leo Burnett, and look forward to see more books about LB to be published in the future.

The footnotes are numbered strangely and they don't elaborate on the footnoted item very well.

This was the textbook used in my American Literature I class last semester. Volume Two is being used in the second half that I am taking this semester. The book offers a good collection of American Literature from the earliest European Explorers to the late 1800's. The additional information offered in the introductions to each author and literary time period adds to the student's understanding of the works.

I read this one first, then the one by Lindeburg. There is no comparison- the Potter book has too many mistakes, outdated material, its organization does not mirror the exam's organization like the Lindeburg book does, it is not in depth enough to be of any use. After working through the Lindeburg book, I rarely even referred to this one (and the exam was a snap).

While trying to study from this book I found many outdated references. For instance, tables and charts for the 1984 "green book" and references to the 198-something HCM. The book also has a hydraulics and hydrology slant. Even the Highway section turns into a hydralogy review loosly based on highways. Do not buy this book, instead look into the Lindeman reference.

The mistakes, inconsistencies, and assumptions are frustrating. I don't know if there is anything better on the market. If so, I wish I had it right now.

Disjoined plot lines interspaced with adolescent sexual fantacies. I consider myself one of Leo's fans and was very disappointed in this effort. Have read all of his previous SF works and consider some of them masterpieces. This one I almost couldn't finish because it never went anywhere interesting.

This is a fun little book, but not great. It is important to know that the book has nothing to do with Conrad himself. (I suspect it must have been the publisher's idea to put "Conrad" in the title.) It is the story of how his cousin invented (discovered really) the time machine that Conrad later stumbles into. You can read the first 12 chapters on the web to see how you like it. All you have to do is go to the Baen web site and click on "schedule", then find this (or another) book to read the beginning.

This book really divides itself into three parts. The beginning, which is almost entirely available on the web for free, is the story of Tom (Conrad's cousin) and his two buddies working to develop the time machine. The book then quickly transitions into the middle where the buddies are (rather suddenly) Lords of their own country. Here you get a fun glimpse of what it would be like to have anything and everything you ever wanted, or thought you wanted. This is the sort of stuff a story about being the first on your block with your own time machine should be. Finally there is a cataclysmic event and everything is wrapped up quickly, leaving plenty of room for a sequel.

I found the ending to be weak, short, and unsatisfying, and to detract from the book as a whole. Conversely though, there isn't much of it, so it doesn't detract that much. All in all, it's a fun couple of hours of reading. Just don't expect it to measure up to the brilliant Conrad series and you won't be disappointed.

Sure I was disappointed that it was a prequel to the outstanding Conrad Stargard series, but then I realized it was the thoroughly thought out and quite imaginative work consistently found in Frankowski's books. He's a lot more practical than most authors and his characters are generally more lively, funny well-rounded human beings than those found in too many of the hundreds of SF novels I've read over 3 decades. There's a lot of big ideas in here, particularly the most thoroughly considered "what if you had a time machine" premise I've found yet and it's always been a favorite topic of mine. This is a gentle novel of exploration and ideas, in the vein of "Copernick's Rebellion" or "Fata Morgana." Maybe his next one will go back to combat
