Greatly enjoyed reading this book, which includes many fascinating and rare photographs of Detroit during forty dramatic years. The writing about the city is informative and evocative and filled with local color. One only wishes that that it was even more comprehensive. Much could be said about Detroit in these years, about the automobile industry that made the city world renowned, its captains of industry and labor, its institutions, remarkable churches, theaters, famous restaurants, schools, museums and its many diverse cultures and neighborhods. Still, this is a delightful and valuable introduction to a great city, which I will treasure and refer to time and again.

IF YOU LOVED THE MOVIE LIKE I DID THEN, YOU'VE GOT TO GET THIS BOOK. IT HAS EVERYTHING FOR THOSE OF YOU (LIKE ME) WHO CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF THIS FILM. IT CONTAINS SOME STORYBOARDS, THE PRODUCTION JOURNAL, PRODUCTION NOTES, THE CREDITS, THE ENTIRE SCRIPT (!), AND 32 PAGES WORTH OF PICTURES. FIND OUT WHAT SPIKE HAD TO GO THROUGH TO GET THIS FILM UP ON THE BIG SCREEN. IT'S A SHAME THAT SPIKE STOP PUTTING OUT THESE COMPANION VOLUMES TO HIS FEATURE FILMS AS HE DID FOR 5 OF HIS FIRST 6 FILMS. THEY (THE BOOKS) ARE A WELCOMED ADDITION THAT REVEAL A LOT ABOUT THE MAN AND HIS ART. THOUGH OUT OF PRINT, IT WOULD BEHOOVE YOU TO FIND A COPY OF THIS BOOK AND DO THE READ THING.

This book offers the most up-to-date and original policy recommendations on how to improve US reputation and effectiveness at the UN. Endorsed by a broad spectrum of foreign policy intellectuals, from left to right, it makes a strong case that without closer cooperation among the world's democracies, the UN will remain hostage to repressive governments who throw sand in the gears of the UN.

In 1995, I had a wonderful opportunity to check out "Five for Five", by Spike Lee, and I could not locate that particular book until I looked it up on Amazon,com, thanks!

I used this book in a mythology class project and it was a great help. The book reveals a great deal of the Winnebago tradition through the history detailed in the stories. This book is well worth the money and is a necessary piece to any Native American collection.

David W. Steadman, Steven Zousmer, and Lee M. Steadman have done an outstanding job on this book on Galapagos wildlife. The book is basically divided into two parts. The first part, amply illustrated by highly quality full color photographs, describes the overall geology, topography, climate, flora, and especially fauna of this important group of islands. Much of this stems from the fieldwork of David Steadman and his brother Lee. Truly fascinating, everything from paleonotological research in the islands, speciation of the island's famous finches, Charles Darwin's explorations and work in the islands, to conservation and more are addressed. Also found in part one are maps, both modern day and some early maps from when the island's were first being explored, as well some early scientific illustrations of the island's plants and animals.

Part two though to me is the main reason to buy this fine book, which contains the color plates by artist and scientist Lee M. Steadman. These excellent illustrations depict every resident species of bird from the islands as well as least one species of each major group of native reptiles and mammals. Even a few extinct species are illustrated. Accompanying each full page illustration of an animal in its native habitat is a full page description of the species, noting physical description in detail, ecological role, natural history notes, life habits, how the group got to the islands, possible relations to other species not only on other islands in the Galapagos but also on the mainland, and notes relating to conservation. The color plates are excellent, very true to life and quite beautiful, illustrating such species as the Galapagos Tortoise (of course!), the Marine Iguana, Red Bat, Galapagos Fur Seal, Galapagos Penguin, Dark-rumped Petrel, Flightless Cormorant, Lava Heron, and the San Cristobal Mockingbird. The famous finches of course are given several great pages of illustrations with several pages of text devoted to them.

This is a great buy, and it is a true shame that this book is out of print! I'll never understand why some books go out of print, this book is in my opinion a classic not only on the Galapagos but in the field of natural history in general, and should be reprinted again and again. I highly urged all of those interested in these wondrous isles to get Amazon to search for this book for you.

Just received the book and is an eerie reminder of what happened on 09/11. Truly, truly moving, especially the writing of Frank Messina and Zoe Artemis. I highly recommend this book.

It seems to me that if you are good in managing your life it will carry the idea to be good managers in the company. I think that it is very true.

For anyone interested in reading as close to the the complete collection Dave Lee's narrative voice as one can get, describing small town life, Legacy of Shadows is a must read. Collected from Lee's previous major works, Legacy of Shadows begins with The Porcine Legacy and ends with selections from My Town, winner of the Western States Book Award. In this one title, the reader will be able to see a complete picture of the unique and wonderful voice that David Lee brings to poetry. Published in conjunction with News Down to the Cafe: New Poems, Legacy of Shadows will stir the emotions of any reader.
