This is not a discussion, analysis, history or investigation of publicity stunts. Rather, it is a pastepot of photographs, each with a few words which may or may not explain what the photo is about. Many of the photos are rather ordinary, and many of the publicity stunts are uninteresting, especially to anyone who is not British. One gets the impression that a boss said to a student intern, "Go to our files, grab a hundred photos that promote something, write a couple of lines about each, think up some clever title, and we'll call this slapped-together thing a book. Think you can do it in a week?"

The book also suffers from stupidity in typesetting. The publishers saw fit to use 2- to 3- point type, some of it in reverse type against dark backgrounds. In a lifetime of reading, I have never seen smaller type even in footnotes. I could not read it without a magnifying glass. There was no shortage of space to justify such print --- this was simply the author's and publisher's self-indulgence run amok.

Half a year ago, I read its Japanese version of an article written by aaron gerow included in the book, since I am a Japanese. I found the conclusion of the article very unsatisfying and unconvincing, because it abruptly quotes what a famous and young Japanese filmmaker said about a certain relationship between Japanese Emperor and Japanese film, which completely lacks any academic contexts in which we could discuss. Judging from the article by aaron gerow discussing Benshi, this book is nothing less than an arbitrary impression on Japanese cinema.

Ordered these out-of-print (Infiltrators, Operators, Penetrators) because I was in 12th SF Group with Author. Wondering where he is. This and subsequent books in series are better than their sales performances. Mark, have some questions, find me in LA.

I expected this book to be interesting and a good source of information on the 1904 invasion of Tibet by the British. However, I was incredibly bored the entire time I was reading the book, I found myself hoping desparately that I was at the end, only to my despair turning the page and finding there was a whole nother chapter. I would not have finished it if it were not for the fact that I was reading it for an English assignment on Tibet. The story is told in flashback form, with no indication of whose story is being told in that current chapter, and sometimes switches half way through! The parallels between present day Alex and 1904 Edmund Candler are weak, making it seem as if Alex's story was added to beef up the number of pages in the story and cover for a lack of information, instead of enhancing the literary experience. The most interesting subplot, involving the relationship between Rasputin and one of the Dalai Lama's servants, develops on a whopping 4 pages of the entire story. If Mr. Frutkin deleted Alex's story, and added more about this specific sub-plot, the entire story would be much better! I have read a lot on Tibet, but I do not recommend this book for someone looking for information or an enjoyable book.

As an attorney with both practical and academic interest in the subject, I try to read everything I find that comes out on juries. I read both this book and Mara Taub's excellent "Juries: Conscience of the Community" on the same weekend.

Unfortunately, Edah doesn't really understand his topic. He doesn't understand why America uses trial by jury. He doesn't understand the history of jury trial in America, or the reasons the Founders had for guaranteeing trial by jury three times in the original Constitution and Bill of Rights.

Instead, this highly self-indulgent work focuses mainly on the subjective impressions of the author, and fails to give any insight into the minds of his fellow jurors. He seems to think that readers are more interested in reading about him than about jury service.

Edah includes lengthy quotes from legal cases, many of which are entirely irrelevant, apparently for no other reason than to show that he could find the law library. There is no clear beginning or ending to the quotes, and many are poorly attributed.

I'd avoid this book - and rush out and buy Mara Taub's "Juries: Conscience of the Community," Godfrey Lehman's "We the Jury: The Impact of Jurors on our Basic Freedoms," Jeffrey Abramson's "We, The Jury: The Jury System and the Ideal of Democracy" or Clay Conrad's "Jury Nullification: The Evolution of a Doctrine." There are simply too many good books on this topic to spend good time on this one.

Don't buy this e-book. Save your $10!!!! It is a selling tool for a trading website and it only gives you reasons why you would want to short a stock such as overvaluation, duh!!!

This book only shows some rare centers in Europe. Nothing special. Maybe is worth for a collector of architectural books...

If you are intrested in designing a Child Care Center this book wont bring you new ideas. Will be useless.

I returned mine.

I was expecting a book in which the author related his personal experiences then sought to use his experiences as a therapist and a man who suffered through abuse to offer some guidance to others who have experienced similar trauma. Instead the book reads like a barely edited journal that the author kept during his time in therapy. EVERY personal detail, no matter how small, is included. The reader will get to experience all the negative emotions that the author goes through as well as getting descriptions of day to day living.
I also could not relate to the "insiders" part of the therapy. The insiders are various beings that the author sees as he works through his trauma. I have no reference for this so I found little use for the great attention paid to the changing relationships and states of being of these alternate beings. This book may be useful as a case study but I find little to gain from it as a person who is seeking broader perspectives on how to move beyond the pain caused by such abuse. The book is too focused on the author's individual experiences.

The book is hardcover and has a very nicely done dustcover. But it is far smaller and thinner than a paperback novelette. If I had known that this book was so small and had so few quotations and so little substance, I'd never have bought it. For about ($) dollars less you can get the paperback Dover Thrift Edition of Mark Twain quotations, "The Wit and Wisdom of Mark Twain: A Book of Quotations." It won't be as pretty, but it will deliver more substance.

"Why, a dead man could tell a story better than that. I don't mean a fresh dead man neither, I mean one that's been buried two or three days." Mark Twain
