Tassoni and Thelin (and the contributors) should be commended for their courage in challenging the dominant Horatio Algerian paradigm of celebrating only success and shoving to the margins the ways in which the rest of us blunder. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in a serious examination of resistance theory, where we have gone wrong and with some hints on where we might go right. Read this. If you don't, you're operating in the half-blind hero-narrative myth characteristics of academics.

This book is quite cool enuff .. it starts from their 'seymour' days to the parklife days .. it tells the band's fight with suede (what ? suede ?) ...

I found this book good value for money with good pictures and up-to date information. A must have for people interested in BMW.

Charming book with not only ideas for naming your boat but the history and amusing stories about those names. Even has boat naming and renaming ceremonies. If you have a nameless boat, you need this book!

BODY DICTION by Paul A. Bizub is a fascinating collection of common and not so common phrases containing references to body parts. If you're wondering where expressions came from or what they mean, you'll really enjoy this book. Being an educator, I especially believe that this book is a MUST for all foreign exchange students and have recommended it for purchase to our local school exchange programs as well as libraries. It is also a fun and informative reference for students studying language, biology, and anatomy or for anyone who is intrigued by English expressions. BODY DICTION is one of those books that make you want to become a part of it: you'll find yourself adding many new and interesting phrases to the 2,066 entries. I'm sure that Mr. Bizub would love to hear more ideas to add to his labor of love. This book could be made into a game to see just how much you know about these everyday expressions. A "HEARTfelt" thanks to you Paul A. Bizub for this "HANDy" book of phrases.

In its roughly 50 parts, all written by experienced cooks and cook book writers, HP Books' "The Book of ... Cooking" series takes you to the cuisines of various regions of the U.S. and around the world; all in easy to follow, well-explained recipes.

This installment, the Book of Dressings and Marinades, starts with a brief introduction to the various basic types of dressings; and a similar introduction precedes the section on marinades. The book presents recipe suggestions for all different kinds of dressings and marinades, from yogurt dressings to fruit marinades. Special chapters are dedicated to oil and vinegar dressings, sour cream dressings, fruit and vegetable dressings, mayonnaise dressings, soft cheese dressings and dips, meat marinades, poultry and game marinades, fish marinades and vegetable marinades. Classics such as vinaigrette, blue cheese dressing, horseradish, dill and cucumber dressing, different kinds of mayonnaise and yogurt dressing, and cocktail, Greek, mustard, and sweet and sour dressing appear next to unique recipes such as apple and Madeira dressing, fig and Port ice cream, cherry cinnamon dressing, coconut lime dressing, fruits in wine, egg and walnut dressing, orange and sesame seed dressing, and saffron and pistachio dressing.

From almond yogurt dressing to walnut mayonnaise and yellow tarragon dressing, this collection of recipes, while not all-encompassing, is a great introduction to the endless possibilities of spicing up a meal with a great dressing - and at a relative bargain price, to boot. Also recommended: This series' installments on salads, sauces and dips and salsas.

A chatty but pashionate manifesto about the children's literature. Slightly dated but still exciting.

One of the best of the rare Greyhawk modules, WGM1 brings the PCs (levels 1-3) face to face with the forces of Iuz for the first time - an arch-rival they will come to know full well in the Temple of Elemental Evil! Here, they must save the besieged city of Greatwall, and something far, far darker stirs in the shadows... a wonderful way to begin a retro Greyhawk campaign.

I've been looking for this book for many years, but since it is out of print I haven't had any luck finding it. I first read this book in Grade 7 (I'm in Grade 11 now)and at that time I was getting into the paranormal realm and horror genre. This novel was about a boy found by localers in a small town, by an area with scorch marks on the earth. At first he can not speak, and is ignorant on activities which we perform in everyday life. As the weeks progress however, it becomes evident that the child is highly intelligent. His siblings begin to question who he is and where he comes from as the story evolves. (see questions asking " was it alien, animal or angel?") I loved this book and give it 4 or 4.5 stars out of 5. This is one book that lets you decide what the truth of the child is, or rather, the truth of what exists.

The Boy Who Set the Fire is a curious collection of stories taped and translated by Paul Bowles. The author, Mohammed Mrabet, is an oral storyteller but not necessarily traditional. I would have appreciated knowing which, if any, of the stories are traditional.

Perhaps the most powerful story is "What Happened in Granada" which revolves around the disrespect of the English family running a hotel for the Moroccan driver of a man who had left his ill wife in their care. The story does an excellent job of showing the misunderstandings that can led to mistreatment.

The flip side is "The Woman from New York" where a Moroccan shows his mistrust of the American woman and the hippies (I'm assuming based upon the date of the story); their manner of living causes the Moroccan to consider them sickly, dirty and slanderous.

Some of the stories are humorous. "Doctor Safi" tells the story of a man who pulls his donkey's rotten teeth. From that he concludes he'd do well with a dental practice (human and animal). A few successes there and he fancies himself a doctor. "The Saint By Accident" follows a similar humorous path with the misunderstandings on the part of the viewers not the "saint".

Several stories deal with illness brought on by sinister powers and cured only by what we would consider religious magic e.g. "The Well". Others are stories of revenge, e.g. "The Boy Who Set the Fire".

The constants across the stories include a preference for the older, rural life style; the ever-present kif; conflict between Muslim and Nazarene. The book provides an interesting insight into the culture of the author and, as such, is well worth reading.
