This book is great for young kids that are interested in Dinosaurs and the world of paleontology. This is a must have book for any parent interested in a good story with a good facts to back it up!

An excellent book, finally Banjamin on photography and cinema is available in english. Reading his essay on Chaplin is extremely illuminating concerning the question of the passage from silent film to sound film. His concept of critique, as well as his concept of "making history" lies in this text.

This play is a collection of the most hilarious monologues I have ever heard - all tied together by one thing: Senior Square! I have performed one of these monologues for an audition, and it gets laughs everytime! Buy this book - even if just to read it! It's worth it!

This is a wonderful collection of poetry readings by some of the best actors in the world. If you allow yourself only one tape of poetry, I would recommend this one. The rendition of Lawrence's "The Snake" is spellbining, and the reading of Macneil's "A Death in the Family" is quietlly gut-wrenching. And you will be surprised how well Bill Shatner recites about whales. Buy this tape, and you will listen to it again and again.

Very original and engaging. You can tell Shurgot is very enthusiastic about his work. Will give me a new slant when I re-teach these plays.

This is my favorite book, graphic or otherwise. It's funny, witty, and passes its story under the table with a knowing nod, hinting at its place in a vast universe, not spoon-feeding every detail as if all the players were automated agents of a narrative. This is Shaksper in outer-space (if he survived a bit better) -- a bit of fluff with enlightened commentary on the human condition at its core. Thanks, Elaine.

I used this book in statistics classes while working on a BS in accounting. This is a very good textbook. My instructors also compiled their own notes for the students which complemented the book perfectly. Many real-life and thought provoking examples in this book.

For those who like the Louis L'Amour and Elmer Kelton books, "The Stolen Steers" will be a joy to read. It covers the old values, dilemmas, and solutions in a story about survival in South East Texas near the turn-of-the-century. Further, you get the impression that the author not only writes the story but lived in the shoes of the main character--a convincing, engaging presentation. You won't be sorry for taking a chance on this one.

There have been many, perhaps far too many, books which try to use chaos & complexity theory as a model for therapy. Most such books have only the most limited understanding of either chaos/complexity theory or therapy. This book stands out because the authors are both working therapists and experts in non-linear dynamics. And perhaps most importantly, they know how to write in a way that is useful to therapists, as well as to anyone who wants to think deeply about how human beings grow and change.

This is not your standard coffee-table photo book. Rather, it's a window into the heart of a unique college... one so totally unlike any other college in America (the world?) that it's almost mind-boggling.

I came across it while getting obsessive about my older son's college search. (He's a high school junior and totally blase at this stage; I'm going blissfully insane pouring through the 3-inch-thick college guides.) I kept reading in the college guides about Deep Spings, and every description impelled me to look for more information.

Imagine: A huge cattle and alfalfa ranch in the middle of nowhere (the California high desert near the Nevada border). A student body of 26 young men with average SATs of 1500 who literally run the place and do most of the ranch work. A faculty of a half-dozen or so (essentially hired by the students), some just stopping by for a semester; none tenured. Two years of an intense combination of studying and discussion, physical work, and incredible community spirit. Students finish their undergraduate work by transferring to a "regular" college (typically Ivy League and Ivy-quality).

The book is mostly just pictures of the students, with a short commentary by each of them. There are also a couple of good essays, one by the college's president. The black & white photos are of high quality, though nothing extraordinary. But the combination of the students' images and their own words is amazingly effective in conveying who they are and what they feel about the school and about life.

Immensely cool, but only for a select audience. Five stars if you are in that audience. Not worth the money if you are just curious.
