David, you made me CRY!
Reading this book a year ago didn't keep my eyes dry, but kept them wet - all the time. I LOVED the stories about how his life was, how he found love in God, made a GREAT, LOVING FAMILY .... and how he didn't give up on his dreams.
For those who haven't read this - SHOULD, and DON'T FORGET TO GRAB A BOX OF TISSUES WITH YOU!
(I'm going to go tell my FRIENDS about this book and have THEM read this book!)

An awesome book !! God has a plan and purpose for us all!!
If you have ever heard David Ring speak, you must read this book. It is a powerful demonstration how God has a specific plan for each of us! I read it in one day...could not put it down.

If you have ever wanted to be more or do more, read this!!
The life of David Ring is a phenomenal one. This book will make you laugh, cry, smile, and frown. It will inspire you. You will understand what it means when people say that God accepts us just the way we are. David is an inspiration to everyone who meets him and gets to know this incredible man of God

The sons thoughts
I read this book with intensity, and believe me I don't read very much. I never understood the complexity or the intensity of WWII until I read this book.
I am a navy sailor and I have spent most of my time not realizing what that ment. I read this book after 9/11 and it helped me understand the sevarity of war and how tragic it is.
And even though it might be thought that I have a biased opinion towards my father's book, this is one that you will not put down!

Outstanding
Some books of this type are tedious and rehash the same stories of an awful time in our recent history. I began this reading with reservations, but immediately found it not only an easy read but a page turner. Being written in the first person gives life and excitement to what could have been just another story. This book puts you there. You feel their anxiety. You experience their near hopelessness and rejoice in their triumph. This is a must read for anyone.

David Gilbert is a true hero!
David's story starts on the day the German army attacked Poland at the beginning of World War II. It chronicles one man's struggle to save his family from the Nazis and the heroic efforts he made to save hundreds of other people in the process. David never stopped believing in life and he never stopped believing in God. Through every twist and turn first, while hiding from the Nazis then in the Warsaw Ghetto and finally in Bergen Belsen his quick thinking kept his family safe.

You will not put this book down until David's final liberation. This book is a tribute to his zest for life. Through all the death and destruction David never lost his faith.

David Gilbert is a true hero. His story makes personal what now seems so far removed. It should be read by all those who want to learn from the inhumanity of the Nazi era. This book should be required high school reading. David's story is about life and one man's triumph over incredible odds.

Average review score:

really shows how music started from 1900 to today
Mr. Mancuso has really integrated visualls into music through his teaching and lectures... His book is a reflection of his style. Not one book has more pictures (a lot rare) of artists and composers to show how music has grown in the last 100 years.

excellent
It is the most thorough accessment of American Popular Music I have seen. Mancuso's theory of underground inluences is a unique slant on the subject.

The ultimate look at the first 50 yrs of music available.
This is the most comprehensive look at the first half of this century of music ever put to paper. From the first jazz recording ever, to Mel Torme, to Mark Murphy...to ROY ROGERS.....it's all there!

As a reference, this book is invaluable.

Unbelievable.

A remarkable anthology of twenty-four poets
The Franconia, New Hampshire, farm of the American poet Robert Frost was turned into a museum and center for poetry and the arts in 1976. From that time, "The Frost Place" has been annual event wherein an emerging poet has been invited to spend the summer living in the house where Frost once lived and wrote some of his greatest poetry. The Breath Of Parted Lips: Voices From The Robert Frost Place, Volume One is a remarkable anthology of twenty-four poets, each of whom won that honor of a summer's residency and document the success of the original concept as a means of generating outstanding poetry while nurturing the poet's muse in the rooms and views that were once the inspiration of the great Robert Frost. Poem At 40: Windwashed--as if standing next to the highway,/a truck long as the century sweeping by,/all things at last bent in the same direction./An opening, as if all/the clothes my ancestors ever wore/dry on lines in my body:/wind-whipped, parallel with the ground,/some sleeves sharing a single clothespin/so that they seem to clasp hands,/seem to hold on.//And now that I can see/up the old women's dresses,/there's nothing but a filtered light./And now that their men's smoky breath/has traversed the earth,/it has nothing to do with them./And now that awkward, fat tears of rain/slap the window screen,/now that I'm naked too,/cupping my genitals, tracing with a pencil/the blue vein between my collar bone and breast,/I'll go to sleep when I'm told.

Imperial Cities: Landscape, Display and Identity (Studies in Imperialism)
Published in Hardcover by Manchester Univ Pr (September, 1999)
Authors: Felix Driver and David Gilbert

Hidden messages from Imperial cities
Imperial cities offer an unexpected view of the late 19th, early 20th century imperial cities. The book is divided in 3 parts, Imperial Landscapes, Imperial Display and Imperial Identities and gives us several examples in each category.

In Imperial landscapes we see London, Rome, Paris, Vienna. London is a world trade hub with a hodgepodge urbanism upgrading its landscape to match its global position after cities like Paris, Brussels and Vienna created their own landscapes to match their global status. Rome, the recent capital of Italy wants to become a national symbol and erase centuries of papal power. Paris is consciously targeting rich travellers, intellectuals, artists to become the world capital of pleasure and attract who's who in the World by her beauty. Vienna is trying to combine tradition of her centuries old empire, cultures of her multinational empire and prove the world she is also capital of an industrial power but does not quiet succeed. And a last chapter dedicated to the Bank of England remodelling between 1919-1939 shows the evolution from Imperial to Late Imperial England and its impact on the building concept.

In Imperial Display we see the the Pageant of London in 1911, the colonial exposition of Marseilles, 'capital of the French colonies' in 1920, the Iberoamerican Fair of Sevilla in 1929, the colonial displays at Sydenham Crystal Park and the tropical plants in English gardens to analyse the imperial discourse and how Imperial cities see their world.

In Imperial Identities, authors show us Glasgow, imperial municipality and the importance of the Empire for the city, the way empires do impact on man clothing and identities between 1860-1914 and reactions to Empire, the Pan-African Conference of London in 1900. And for a final conclusion, how this imperial age still remains visible/invisible in our societies and prepared us to the multinational and global culture of today.

The book is really worth reading because it explains the whole thinking process beyond those landscapes, tourists guides, displays and attitudes which modelled the cities and the people living in them. Once read you will understand London, Rome, Paris, Vienna, Brussels, Marseilles, Glasgow, Sevilla and other imperial cities and never look at them the same way because of the decoded message it suddenly offers. An excellent complement to 'Ornementalism' from David Cannadine.

TAKE IT EVERYWHERE
I am an Internal Medicine Resident and can't live without it. It's complete. It has included references for further reading. Handy (pocket size) and pratical. Find the info you need in a hurry, very fast. I work with renal patients, and the included dosage adjustmen table covers the most frequently used antibs. I buy a new one every year since 1993!!!

Use it every day in my outpatient clinic
I don't even think about prescribing antibiotics without referring to sanford's. It's cheap, well organized, current, and easy to carry around. One of the 2 or 3 most used tools I have in my practice.

Top Reference
I have kept a copy of sanford in my cast pocket since internship. It is the quickest most concise reference when I need to know what antibiotic to use emperically. I recommend this to all practicing physicians.

For Those Who Have Fallen in Love with Key West
For those who love Key West, this book will confirm that affection. It will also offer insight into what it's like for those who arrive, fall in love with Key West, and decide to stay. The twenty delicious stories include one called "Leaf Woman," by Margit Bisztray, a revealing oblique peep into the interior life of a woman who typifies one of the many young people who swarm to Key West to find the only work available is low-end drone jobs. The cover with the Key West row house with the rooster perched on the railing of the porch is quintessential Key West.

man go man go read mango summers
I have read this book , and once again the authors from key west have brought me back to the Island that I long to call home. Especially Bruce Weiss's piece " Chicken Wars " was fabulous In my opinion Bruce is one of the best new authors of our time , and I can't wait to see what his next novel to read. Also David Kauflet piece was also excellent. Once again proving that he still has a great depth of talent to pull from. Definitely a book worth reading.

Another hit!!
The third and latest short-story collection by a diverse and dedicated group of Key West resident-writers continues to keep a finger on the pulse of this tiny, delightfully deranged island. Their latest offering is whimsical, entertaining and right on target.
