I was very pleased by the large number of high-quality reproductions. Still, as far as I'm concerned there should have been *more*. The book contains (a rough count) about 280 pages containing text or mostly text, out of about 630 total pages. However, I'm very happy with the book.

Best book, I have ever bought

The problem with art books is that they go out of print too quickly. This is a beautifully presented book on Rauschenberg that was released with the big retrospective at the Guggenheim in 97/98. Barnes and Noble still had copies avaiable as of Sept. 99, so check there -- they were even discounted!

This other book goes into this crime further and the association with the Manson Family. I remember reading this book a few years ago and it sent chills up my spine...why? well, because I used to date Bill Mentzer (the "hit man" profiled in this book. It's truly amazing that he could have actually been the person that I read about and I was, well, shocked to say the least. I thought he made all of his money being a body guard for the rich and famous and had no idea that the trips he took me on were his alibi's...scary stuff when I look back. I also learned from the book that he was cheating on me with Lannie what's her name. Well, at least it had a good ending and he ended up in prison where he 'ought to be after he got his 7 minutes of fame featured on "America's Most Wanted. I stopped taking his collect calls and letters since I saw the show and read the book.

Chilling true life crime. Good portayal of the subjects

Oh wow!!!! Just when you think you've read everything about very bad people, along comes this gem. The cast of characters in this book makes Caligula look like Mother Teresa. A real page-turner about the murder of an aspiring producer, Roy Radin, in the 1980s. Steve Wick is a reader's writer: he keeps the pace moving weaving the details into a very rich tapestry. I didn't want the book to end. NB--Because this book is out-of-print, run, don't walk, to the public library and check out a copy. It's worth your time and effort.

In the past 10-15 years, an attempt has been made to blend Malcolm X into the general bland opinion of middle class and bourgeois class dominated Black thought. The movie about Malcolm by Spike Lee that excerpted the political struggle he carried out in his last year contributed to this attempt to hide Malcolm's revolutionary impact. Read these speeches and you see something different. Malcolm X did not look to join with America, but to join with fighters around the world from Vietnam to the Congo, from Brazil to China who were fighting American imperialism. He worked with fighters like Che Guevera and brought himself to the battlegrounds of civil rights in the south. Malcolm's speeches increasingly emphasized the different between "the house nigger" and the "field nigger," and he was proud to be for the later category as the leadership of the black struggle.
Read his own words. Malcolm X was a revolutionary.

his book of Malcolm X's Speeches was begun while Malcolm was alive with the publisher and the editor that
Malcolm selected, and speeches he wanted in the book. This is the Spanish edition of the the book that begins the series of books by Malcolm X published by Pathfinder Press in collaboration with his family as more speeches, interviews, and talks by Malcolm X have been discovered. The aim here is to put Malcolm X's words first. Read them for yourself. Find out why Malcolmwas a reasoned, passionate, but uncompromising opponent of US imperialism's wars against oppressed peoples, in Africa, in Vietnam, in the Mid-East. Malcolm can really inspire you about the fights we need.

This book presents a selection of the speeches of Malcolm X, an outstanding revolutionary leader who emerged from the struggles of millions of Afro-Americans against racism in the United States during the 1950s and 1960s. Although he was assassinated in February 1965, Malcolm X left us an invaluable example and political legacy.

Malcolm X linked the struggle within the United States with the struggles of other oppressed peoples in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Just read his denunciations of U.S. intervention in the Congo, in Vietnam and the Middle East in those days -- and think today of Colombia, Venezuela, Afghanistan, Iran, the Philippines...

I particularly enjoyed the following speeches from this book: "I'm not an American but a victim of Americanism," (University of Ghana, May 1964); "Our problems and those of Africa are the same," (Harlem, November 1964); "Learn to see, to listen and to think for yourself," (Harlem, January 1965); "We seek a solution that will benefit the masses, not the upper class'" (Detroit, February 1965); and the article "The meeting between Malcolm X and Fidel Castro," (Hotel Teresa, Harlem, September 1960).

This is what a book on an artist should be, lots of nice big images, early to current work(presented chronologically) and not too much BS, except for an essay written by Steve Martin(yes the comedian).

.........But the more I look at the book, the more I think Fischl has quality control issues. The more I look at it, the more bad paintings I notice. Don't get me wrong, this is a great book and Fischl has done some great paintings, but the more you look at this book, the more you notice how bad he can be at times-quality control. Some of the paintings should have never left the studio except in a dumpster but when your getting as much money as he gets for work.................... I imagine its hard not to think everything you make is great, when you get the "status" he has as an artist.

but this isn't an art critique, this is a great book on a well know contemporary artist. If you like Fischl, this is the book to get and it may give you more insight then you want, if you have any asthetic sensibilities.

This is a perfect book for someone to keep as a desk reference for the personality types. I found the information very valuable even though I own most other books on this subject. It is an outstanding reference for the types in an organizational setting.

I found this booklet to be of extreme value compared to similar products. I used to buy a whole text to give to my clients before this came along. It contains some of the best material I have seen on the Myers-Briggs types. The fact that it has so many great contributors is a value-add. I would recommend this booklet to anyone using Myers-Briggs types in a professional setting. The booklet covers multiple topics including leadership, career development, creativity, stress, problem-solving, personal development, and learning. At first I was overwhelmed with the page count for the types, but after reading the content I was pleasantly excited and couldn't wait to show them to my customers. The book also includes some interesting new information about a new model---MTR-i---which is a team role model based on Jungian type. A very good value for the low price.

These collected essays, first published in such periodicals as The New York Times, The New York Herald Tribune, or Atlantic Monthly, trace the origins of modern drama in Greek tragedy and comedy. At least four of them should be required reading in any introductory course in British and American literature: The Salesman Has A Birthday; Tragedy And The Common Man; The Nature Of Tragedy; and The Family In Modern Drama. The last of these contains a memorable phrase that furnished the title of the selection of the late U.S. journalist Daniel Pearl's essays, At Home In The World. One brief quotation from Tragedy And The Common Man that seems especially relevant to the present era will suffice: "The Greeks could probe the very heavenly origin of their ways and return to confirm the rightness of laws."

This book is an incredible trip through out Miller's ideas. The essays on the book are very well selected and disposed in a good way for the readers to understand what Arthur Miller is all about. There's no better way to know somebody other than this persons' own words. And this is what's so special about this book. We get to know Arthur Miller through his own special words. The first essay, "Tragedy and the Common Man" is already classical for its contents. Most of the books about Arthur Miller talk about it, but this very book happens to be the only way for us to actually read the whole text. Summing up: if you're willing to go to the bootom of this very important writer, this is the book you must choose.

This book comes out of the same Sheffield University politics department as did the True Blues survey of Conservative Party grassroots members' views. It concentrates on assessing events after 1975 and in particular the impact of the Thatcher years on John Major's premiership. The key question addressed is the extent to which the Thatcherite inheritance has been protected or diluted by a return to a more consensual Conservatism. The issues which interest the co-editors are: whether the Thatcher revolution has survived the sacking of its leader, and whether Major has been able to develop a distinct programme of his own? More pressing for Conservative party members they ask - "What state is the party in?" They consider the varying assessments of the Thatcher inheritance: that Major is constrained by the Thatcher agenda; or that Major has re-jigged the Conservative philosophy to meet the circumstances of the present day; or that Thatcher was not the radical she is made-up to be and that Major is following her example of governing by conservative statecraft. The various chapters inform us that: the average age of party members is 62 years; Thatcherism effected a "substantial ideological shift"; the Parliamentary party remains socially exclusive; the MPs' rebellion over Maastricht was widely supported, if not followed; New Right thinking influences the structure of government; "selective interventionism" has been hidden by the rhetoric of a free-market approach to policy; and, the "heroic" promise to roll back the state has been replaced by "the more mellow promise of greater choice". In their concluding chapter Ludlam and Smith present a powerful analysis of contemporary British conservatism. The situation is so bad that by the mid-1990s: "The basis of its electoral triumphs was visibly weakening, its membership and funding were falling alarmingly, and its reputation for unity in defence of the British state lay in tatters as it divided from top to bottom over Europe and national sovereignty". So how has the Thatcher legacy been dealt with by Major? They suggest that in being constrained by the economic and political inheritance, Majorism's political change is "more style than substance". Although, the remarkable thing about his premiership, they go on to argue, is that: "... it has been precisely in those areas where Thatcherism was incomplete that Major has remained most faithful to the Thatcher project". Further: "Major's direction has been one of implementing Thatcherism rather than challenging its key precepts. In policy after policy area, Major has maintained the Thatcherite agenda." Their final remarks of all address the issue at the core of contemporary Conservative politics; Britain's relationship with the European Union. Forthrightly they express the opinion that: "... contemporary Conservatism has not yet discovered how to reconcile the party's deep-rooted and popular tradition of defending the sovereign British Parliamentary state with active membership of the EU", adding: "By the mid-1990s fundamental issues of national sovereignty raised by European integration and unresolved since the 1950s could no longer be evaded; they produced almost unmanageable divisions inside Parliament, the government and the Cabinet, and threatened to overwhelm Major's disunited party". The European fault-line may yet manage to bring the "broad" church crashing down. This is a book which those involved in the study and practice of Conservative politics should welcome, and it easily fulfils its aim to constitute a good general reader for non-specialists. More pertinently for the participant it offers an outsider's assessment of their party's recent performance, and discusses possible future directions - a key introduction for those wishing to understand the main themes shaping Contemporary British Conservatism.

What can I say? It's Benjamin Franklin! One of our beloved American forefathers with so much wisdom, it applies to not only our fellow Americans, but to the worldly human race. This compilation is full of tidbits from his "Poor Richard's Almanac" columns written for the hungry wisdom and logical seeking people back in early America. This is a timeless collection of suggestions and instructions that make perfect SENSE. Buy this and learn about YOUR life and how to make life better for not only yourself, but the others around you.

A wonderful book of sayings that espouse Ben Franklin's views on life. In general, he was an advocate of honesty, hard work, moderation in all indulgences, and being a good person. While these may sound like simple principles, the wittiness and cleverness with which they are presented make them memorable and therefore useful.

Buy two copies of this book -- one for yourself and one for your child when they reach their teenage years. You'll both be better off. My copy is marked up so I can easily find my favorite sayings, and I find myself flipping through it often.

Anyone, whom has any ounce of education, common sense or wit for that matter, should know that Benjamin Franklin should be and is still (even as I write this very moment) considered one of the smartest, wittiest and most cerebral person/scholar/learned man to have live in (or have been born for that matter) in this country. Poor Richards Almanack by Benjamin Franklin is not an exception and is filled with a plethora of witty, funny and educational allegories, poems and short parables, e.g., "Fish and visitors stink after three days". I absolutely loved this book and would definitely recommend it to the aspiring scholar/learned man or philosopher; and I do consider it, i.e., Poor Richards Almanack by Benjamin Franklin to be one of the cornerstones in the intellectual man's library.

This is a very cute story that was a huge hit with my 5 yearold. It is very well told and I will definitely buy more books by BillMartin in the future. it also has a very nice moral, and it isn't preachy at all.

However, I do have to say it is the ugliest childrens book cover I have ever seen- you can barely read the title because it's on shiny reflective paper. The scan really doesn't do it justice.

This whimsical charmer hearkens back to the Golden Age of children's books. The story is simple yet involving with a barnyard-full of engaging characters.

The book really shines in its beautifully-drawn illustrations that recall the best of 40's and 50's picturebooks. Boldly composed double-page spreads, they're elaborate and humorous and delighted my daughter.

This is an unusually well crafted tale and should be snapped up.

CHICKEN CHUCK is truly a delightful story to read to the special children in your life. The illustrations are spectacular, fulled with explosive colors that capture a child's imagionation.Reading this story book to your child is a gift in itself.. Too see the excitement on their faces, as each page is turned, is such a pleasure for Parents and Grandparents to share with the greatest joys of their lives.. "children & grandchildren" Thanks to the Author & Illustrator for a fantastic & charming book. Recommended Highly. I even enjoyed it and I am no spring CHICKEN!
