At last, John Curry has a book in print worthy of his art. Ms. Junker has suceeded in paying a noble yet sadly overdue tribute to this unique and often neglected artist. Curry's paintings capture the emotion and natural force of American scenes in a way that was very much his own. Works like "Tornado over Kansas" and the scene of John Brown in "A Tragic Prelude" embody some of the greatest expressions of conflict to be found in American art.

This is a truly lovely book: beautifully produced in paper-back with quality materials (so a joy to handle), interesting and insightful commentaries written in styles that aren't bound up by artistic jargon, and a wonderful, comprehensive collection of images in colour, put in meaningful order. I highly recommend it.

Are you bored when you are listening to the E-Span? If you read this book, you won't be able to listen to any speech from any current politician. The level of nobleness is totally different. If you are looking for great speeches of the century, I strongly recommend this book. This book will make your life more exite and active. It is also the great book for the teachers who really wants to motivate their children. This book is for everyone beyond the politics.

Certainly tropical bird lovers, who have had the thrill of one or more bird trips to Central or South America, will want to begin to make more sense of their experiences. This book is for the birder about to turn tropical ecologist. It makes sense of the habitats, with terrific photos, many by John Fitzpatrick, of representative areas of the key habitats. The database tables in the back of the book, termed "essentially a download of Ted Parker's mind" are the essence of this information. For each of the 4000 species from the Rio Grande to Tierra Del Fuego, there are lists of habitats used by every species, and even a table of the indicator bird species for each region.
The books makes the really important point: you cannot prioritize saving the birds of the tropics only by species, one bird at a time. You have to look at what habitats are being irreversibly destroyed the most rapidly, and use those birds which depend most on these habitats - as info connections by which the habitats are to be recognized in the field, and then saved by appropriate political and economic action. Terrific book! Easy to read.

This book provides a catalog of items in alphabetical order.Each item such as balconies, domes, spires etc. is given a clear definition of the term. All right-hand pages consists of numbered illustrations, with appropriate numbered descriptions on the corresponding left-hand page. The section on gardens and courtyards is quite appealing. This is a good book for architects and home owners alike.

If you are looking for to understand 6800 microprocessor don't go pass this book.The author is certainly have a deep understanding of this microprocessor,although this microprocessor is ancient and almost extinct , the design is the prototype of later 6800 and 68000 family microprocessor. FYI, 6805 which is direct descendant of this ancient still produced and in large quantity. I personally choose this microprocessor becouse of its simplicity and easy to understand, the other micros just put extra bell and whistle out of this architecture. Also excellent tutorial in understanding 6820 PIO chip, You can't find such excellent explanation elsewhere else. Btw, you can forget about FORTH language, PASCAL is alot better. I would suggest that this book is preserved in Adobe Acrobat format, so buyer can download after purchased it. (if the author don't want the money, I do )

I have an original copy of this classic. Not a photo-copy. NOT much else of Americana as spectacular.

This excellent collection of essays is absolutely indispensible to anyone with a serious interest in understanding Heidegger's thought at its formative stage. I heartily recommend it.

The publication of Heidegger's earliest lectures and essays from the 1920's has marked a turning point in Heidegger scholarship, and certainly promises to be the inauguration of a genuine revolution. The essays in this volume touch on many of the most important lines of thought articulated by Heidegger in his early years, more or less leaving no stone unturned. The essays by Gadamer, Van Buren, and Grondin are worth the price of the whole volume.

THE SONGS AND SONETS [sic] OF JOHN DONNE. Edited by Theodore Redpath. 156 pp. London : Methuen, 1976 (1956) and Reissued.

Donne is a difficult poet, and one of the main objects of this edition of the 'Songs and Sonets' (not 'Sonnets' because we are here given the original spelling) is to try to clarify any and all points where the meaning would not be perfectly clear to a reader of reasonable intelligence.

The text is a modern recension, based largely on the text of Grierson's 1912 edition of Donne's 'Poetical Works,' and makes use of variants recorded in that edition and in manuscript material which has since come to light.

Redpath's notes are full, detailed, and extensive, and in addition offer full commentaries on every poem. He tells us that his aim was to create "an edition for the general reader, which would bring these remarkable poems to readers both in England and abroad, neither merely as a sometimes exasperatingly obscure plain text, nor as part of a bulky specialist volume or series of volumes" (p.vii).

The poems are preceeded by an interesting 35-page Introduction, and the book is rounded out with a series of Appendices, a Select Bibliography, and an Index of First Lines. At just 156-pages it's a slim book and pleasant to handle, and it's also quite easy to use as most notes run alongside the text on facing pages.

In a book of this nature the editor's problem is always that of trying to strike a balance between giving the reader too much help or too little. Although Redpath may have given some readers a bit more help than they need, on the whole he seems to have struck a nice balance, and most readers will probably find most of his notes and commentary to be both helpful and illuminating.

So for those who have discovered the beauty of Donne's poems, but who may be still scratching their head over their many difficulties and obscurities, the present book will go a good way towards resolving most problems. It will enable anyone to read these poems with far greater understanding and appreciation of their nuances, and hence with far greater enjoyment.

Redpath's is an excellent edition, and strongly recommended.
