Best Damn Book on Ted Period.
This revised edition of Ted Williams: My Life in Pictures is even better than the original which was terrific. If one is not moved to tears by David Pietrusza's account of his last meeting with the Splendid Splinter, you have no heart. This book is a wonderful combination of genuine straight-from-the-hip anecdotes and commentary by one of the most opinionated men in the history of the game and brilliant editing of pictures and text by co-author Pietrusza. Coming on the heels of Pietrusza's excellent biography of Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis, this book establishes him as one of the top baseball writers of his generation.


Thwarting the Wayward Seas: A Critical and Theatrical History of Shakespeare's Pericles in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries
Published in Hardcover by Univ of Delaware Pr (1998)
Author: David Skeele
Amazon base price: $36.50
Average review score:

An enticing man, an excellent book
The thing I liked best about the book was the attention to detail and the way Skeele spoke about his passion for Shakespeare's Pericles. It took an insight that not many are familiar with, but also, the book was easy to follow and understand. I would definitly recommend this book to any Pericles fan or Shakespeare buff. An excellent read. I would also read more books by the author, David Skeele.

The Treatment of the Borderline Patient: Applying Fairbairn's Object Relations Theory in the Clinical Setting
Published in Hardcover by International Universities Press (1993)
Author: David P., Ph.D. Celani
Amazon base price: $30.00
Average review score:

Excellent application of Fairburn's theories
This book reads very easy and is also clear and concise. It is throrough enough to give the reader who is not familiar with the work of Fairbairn, a good understanding of his central concepts and the application thereof to borderline personality disorder. His similarities and differences to other theories are also briefly highlighted in the text. I have read and compared some of the main theories (Searles, Kernberg, Masterson, Gunderson, etc.) in trying to understand my borderline patient better, and have found the work of Celani the closest to my experience. I am not making a judgment saying that Celani's application of Fairbairn is better than any other theory, but that it is very helpful for an object relational therapist who is looking for more perspective in understanding his borderline patient. I would reccomend this book not only to the therapist inexperienced in working with borderlines, but also to those who want to know more and are ready to consider a different angle. Very good reading that is hard to put down once you have started reading.

A cold, hard, meticulous look at state support
In Trends In Outside Support For Insurgent Movements, Daniel Byman, Peter Chalk, Bruce Hoffman, William Rosenau, and David Brannan effective collaborate to produce a cold, hard, meticulous look at state support, incitement, and sponsorship of insurgencies from the Cold War ear through modern globalization. All types of this practice, from offering fighters or training to simply offering a blank check are closely scrutinized. An incredibly timely book given the world situation today and the American commitment to eradicate rogue state supported international terrorism, and written at a college level with heavy research and annotation, Trends In Outside Support For Insurgent Movements is a fascinating, albeit disturbing, look at political machinations around the world.


Unmodern Observations (Unzeitgemasse Betrachtungen)

Average review score:

Arrowsmith's edition of the Meditations has unique merits.
I've read "Untimely Meditations" in a few different translations, and Arrowsmith's is excellent (I have no German, not yet). But the special reasons to buy Arrowsmith's "Unmodern Observations" are (1)the translator was himself a man of enormous complexity and diverse gifts; and (2)at the end of the 1st Meditation ("David Strauss, Writer and Confessor"), Nietzsche appended a section analyzing the STYLE of Strauss' work, pointing out the mixed metaphors, cliches, bungled rhetorical flourishes, et cetera, with a more or less brutal intensity. Translating this appendix, which amounts to an essay on German literary style, is very daunting for obvious reasons, and most translators simply leave it out. Arrowsmith masterfully renders the whole thing, and when I read it in the library at Brandeis ten years ago I felt I was learning more about how to write than I had from any other book.

A must have!
I recommend that any fan of William Blake buy this volume and the other 5 in the series. The books are beautiful, large, and handsomely bound. Each book is reproduced in full color, using a six-color printing process rather than the standard four. The pages are heavy, opaque and have a gorgous lustre indicating very high quality paper. The text of each book accompanies the color reproductions in standard typeface with very competent commentary to boot.


Veterinary Medicine: An Illustrated History

Every little thing
From the cavemen to the modern days, this book covers everything known to the history of veterinary medicine so far: from the ancient means of diagnosis, to the discoveries of new treatments, to great people who helped to develop the veterinary medicine. It's not a book for specialists, but for anyone interested in history. I particularly bought this book because I'm a vet, and wanted to know the origins of my profession. And I had a very good surprise.

Reveals The DuBois you Didn't Know
Most Black History fans think they have DuBois figured out. You either hate him for his haughtiness and elitism or you love his militant stands. This collection of DuBois' writings shows that the truth was somewhere in between. We see DuBois change his mind on Marcus Garvey and the elitist "Talented Tenth" idea. We see DuBois evolve from Integrationism to Black Nationalism to Communism. We basically see a man who is not afraid to change his ideas and admit his errors, a very human and complex man.
