Comics like "Two-Fisted Science" serve nothing but a good purpose. They remind us that comics - like other art forms - can be about anything, and are not captives of the humor, fantasy and adventure genres.

A science-themed comic is especially appropriate, as the art-text combination inherent to comics would seem perfect for conveying complex/cosmic ideas. This collection features some terrific artists - notably Bernie Mireault, David Lasky, Colleen Doran and Sean Bieri - but I was a bit disappointed in the writing. Ottaviani's stories so intent on being unorthodox and different that they instead become meandering and confusing. Oftentimes I was unsure of what exactly was at stake for each story and why we should care about what was being told. And I would expect to actually learn more about SCIENCE in such a book. Also, the organization of the book into seemingly random sections, and the clumsy, unimaginative publication design diminished the effect.

I give the book high marks for effort, nice artwork, and the especially interesting portraits of Richard Feynman, but overall I'd rate "Two-Fisted Science" a noble failure.

We have given this book to various friends who have enjoyed the hard science topics in the 'comic book' format. We also have given it to nieces and nephews, who may not realize that they are being exposed to science and history. We can chat with them about it later, to see how much they have absorbed and to encourage them to reread it (comics are fun after all).

The text is excellent for anyone desiring to research the various arts and performances described in the book. There are numerous photographs that enhance description, and a variey of information that helps to better envision the Pacific Arts, artists's encounters and their struggles to maintain their native arts.

Bernie is a insightful lookinto the life and times of one of the greatest goal tenders of the 20th centuryYou don,t need to be a Flyers fan to enjoy this book !

This is a great source of information on trout behaviour. Interesting stories about learning the ins and outs of trout fishing. Much info pertains to all fisherman although the book tends to focus towards fly fishing. A must for a person wanting to become a serious trout fisherman. The scientific approach by the author is intense and the data fascinating.

I first came across this book, at the age of 37, while I was participating in a Cardiac Rehab program. Because of my heart disease, I was required to begin eating a low-fat, low-cholersterol diet. This book provided me with recipes that were good for me and that my family would actually eat. It also gave me practical information and strategies for implemeting other lifestyle changes that would help in preventing additional heart disease related health issues. A very easy read and extremely helpful. Everyone will benefit from the common sense strategies and delicious recipes for maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Don't wait until you have heart disease to buy this book.

I thought I knew just about all I needed to know about dietary fat and its effect on American health. This book was a thoroughly enjoyable read because it gave me information that I had not previously encountered. It lacks a lot in helping you make healthful choices for non-labeled foods, however, because there is another book written by the same man with that sort of information in it. I have tried many of the recipes included and they are usually quite delicious. They aren't NO FAT usually, but they are certainly LOW FAT and absolutely delightful to eat. Most entres require some serious preparation time, but if you have the time these healthful recipes are worth the effort.

This book is pretty good. It can get confusing because it is dialog between Elton John, Bernie Taupin, and a interviewer, but it is still a good book and you can learn a lot from it.

Es un libro de un estilo claro, conciso, en donde en pocas palabras, expresadas bellamente, invita a la introspección, al autoconocimiento, al crecimiento personal.

When I was a in junior high, I enjoyed reading any book of this nature that I could find. This book was a joy to read, but I want to add one caveat to the script. I was the subject in the third chapter, THE BUZZER BEATER, and the author took great poetic license to write the story. Many facts were true, but I have the videocassette today which was copied from an old 16 mm film which would definitely shed the whole truth.

Little Bill can hardly contain his excitement. It is Mother's Day and he is determined to make it a wonderful day for his mom. Little Bill leads his mother on a scavenger hunt to find the five gifts that he has for her. Throughout the search, Little Bill reiterates the love he has for his mother and how thankful he is for all that she does for the family.

Author Catherine Lukas has done an excellent job with this book. It is a tribute to mothers, seen through the eyes of a child. Children will enjoy the bright and colorful illustrations, and will be able to relate to the gifts that Little Bill gives his mother. They learn the valuable lesson that gift giving is not about how much money you spend, but that the best gift one can give is the gift of love.
