What can I say about this book but WOW...it was inciteful, funny, informational and downright wonderful. Both myself and my 17 year old son have read it and love it. We keep it around when we need a laugh, or just a good read we pick it up again and again. We highly recommend it.

These books are truly a godsend. No more stacks of magazines, half-read novels, sports sections of newspapers, or catalogues. Uncle John saves us time and space, cramming the book full of interesting facts of variable lengths. Some of the pieces are weak, but mostly you'll find that you'll learn useful trivia and fascinating facts. Thomas Crapper would be proud!

Keeps you on the throne much longer than normal. Padded seat required. Not recommended for single bathroom house holds. Laughter gives additional power to grunts.

Lots of facts and lots of fun. This book is impossible to put down

In 1993 We're Back was in theaters. It is my favorite book also , my favorite movie. It was funny and I laughed ,when I read it. It was just great ,everyone should read it. I like the part when all the Dinasaurs screamed, cause they didn't want to get in trouble.

My five year old son loves this book and I've read it to him many times. It's about a group of dinosaurs transported to modern New York and their adventures in the city.

What I especially like about the book is that the humor makes an adult smile and I don't mind reading it repeatedly.

The wide variety of writing here examines the vast amount of literature about drugs with emphasis on drug users. It's a comprehensive anthology that permits the adventurous reader to experience the complete range of substances, from absinthe and ecstasy to yage and opium to moonshine, as narrated by some of the world's most imaginative writers. These include William Burroughs, Nelson Algren, Florence Nightingale, Jean Cocteau, Arthur Conan Doyle, Philip K. Dick, Miles Davis, Aldous Huxley, Charles Baudelaire, Terence McKenna, Lewis Carroll, Hunter S. Thompson, Paul Bowles, Arthur Rimbaud, Marie Corelli, Tom Wolfe, Timothy Leary, Charles Dickens, Oscar Wilde and Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Whether in ecstasy or hung over, addicted or recovering, the writers in White Rabbit examines the drug experience from every angle. Their always fascinating and often eloquent narratives provide a colorful read, amply rewarding the reader with its variety of experience. Some pieces are way too short, though, like Florence Nightingale's one little sentence, Paul Gauguin's two short paragraphs and Rimbaud's brief poem. Elizabeth Barrett Browning's little ode to opium is also quite skimpy. There are interesting biographies of all the authors, giving some background to the pieces here. This is a valuable work as it brings together so many interesting perspectives and writing styles. As the authors put it so well: "Drugs are inherently subversive, sometimes dangerous, occasionally great fun. They 'clear away the past and enhance the present,' they can inspire great art and greater experience, or they can unleash the monster lurking within."

A great anthology of stories, one of the most complete piles of drug culture writers around, giving one a brief look into a plethora of great writing that will lead to further investigation of their works by teasing them with this fine book. Packed with writers from all over the spectrum and many genres, old and new alike. A Must have for those deeply in love with the drug culture. This book gives the reader a taste of many great writers out there, all with mounds of their own material that needs to be read, this book can prove as a lead in to these readings and makes for an excellent leisurely taste of what is out there for those who desire it.

I am intressting about the price this book in hardcover und paperback editions

When Arcady Mystikos comes to town, everyone is bowled over by his psychic powers -- except for 6th grader Alexander Fox.

Fox asks legitimate questions and looks for a more practical explanation of Arcady's feats.

This book is an outstanding introduction to using one's brain.

I am buying additional copies to send to my friends who follow and believe in the popular "psychics" of our day. Mr. Mystikos's name could very easily be replaced with any of those psychic's names.

After reading this book, my 20-month-old son would follow what ELMO did in the book, pretending to be a cat, a lion, a worm. For example, he would "meow" and creep when he saw a cat in the book. It was fun for a baby boy to learn about animals in that way.

Another fun pop up book has come from Child's Play. If I were a kid I would love this book. 3-D images of all sorts of bats, along with an informative text and brilliant illustration make this book, along with the others in the "Misunderstood" series, a must-have. My nieces and friend's children all love this book. It's also a pleasant surprise to find, on the back, drawing of all of the different species of bats. This book is great for any age, from kids to grown up bat lovers!

From the editors of the international social theory journal, the collection provides stimulating and tough-minded analyses of the dilemmas of socialism and liberalism, the collapse of communism, and the vagaries of contemporary democracy alongside strong contributions from prominent contemporary social theorists reflecting on the past and future of modernity. Intelligent and energetic writing.

The Black Elk Reader contains a variety of old and new perspectives on the Black Elk Speaks vision entrusted by Nicholas Black Elk to John Niehardt in 1931. Both classic and contemporary essays are included as well as reflections by Hilda Niehardt on 1931 and 1944 interviews with Black Elk. The issue of cultural appropriation is thoroughly presented both by Francis Kaye and anthropologist Raymond Bucko in his annotated biography and guide, "Sources and Suggestions for Further Study of Black Elk and Lakota Culture." Although some of the selections may seem a trifle dated or ponderous and condescending in tone, sufficient respectful material is included to stimulate and appeal to students of Native American studies, anthropology, religion, and the general audience.
