"This is a really fascinating book, about an incredible woma
This is a terrific book that tells the story of a truly amazing woman and in the process, tells the story of hundreds of rhythym and blues performers and groups and the lives they led, in the early days of this important american music. The reader learns how Ms. Brown overcame unbelievable obstacles, both personal and business, and came out on top-in the process, initiating the creation of a great organization called The Rhythm and Blues Foundation, which is based in Washington DC, and exists for the purpose of helping to preserve the music and which provides cash awards and support for R&B pioneers.

A true R&B Legend
Ruth Brown has seen it all--from staying in sleazy segregated hotels on tour in Jim Crow America in the 40s and 50s to the top of the R&B charts in the 50s to later hearing her songs on the radio when she was broke and ignored by the record companies she helped build. This lady was the "diva" of R&B and still performs today to packed audiences. We're lucky to have this historical record of her life, for it is a reflection of what many black performers of her day had to go through before achieving the heights of musical stardom, and what they had to go through even after achieving the heights. A great lady and a great performer!

Great Read
Al Pacino: A Life on the Wire is a great book! I am very impressed because even though Al Pacino went through a lot of hard times in his life, he made it. He is a real fighter, and he has proven that people should never give up; they must follow their dreams. Yule presented Al Pacino's life in general in an easy-to-follow way, and the reader can understand things well about Al Pacino as a person. I especially like Al's sense of humor, his passion for his job, and his attitude towards marriage. Al is definitely a free spirit and an accomplished actor!

Kirkus Review in error.
In response to the Kirkus Review of Life on the Wire: The book does not report that Al Pacino's mother left him at three. She died when Pacino was 22 years old. Pacino's father left the family when Pacino was 3. The book clearly states these facts.

"Surely this time there is no escape...." for Terry Gilliam
Terry Gilliam is the first to acknowledge that for each of his movies, he becomes the main character and their struggle in the story becomes part of his struggle to make the film. This overlap set an ominous tone that then went from bad to worse, from the frying pan to the fire and somehow a film came out the other side.

The making of the movie "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen" is told via Andrew Yule's interviews and research, almost a post-mortem after the near-death experience of the filmmaking process. Director and producer fought, crews walked or were fired, accountants and accusations flew, and tigers and elephants literally got out of control. Compared to "The Battle of Brazil" that was a skirmish and this was a world war.

For Gilliam fans, join the director in all his pain as he attempts to surmount and juggle language barriers, lethargic crews, bad weather, financial disputes, mysterious accidents, casts of characters fictional and real, and his own visions.

A darn good book about the troubles with Munchausen
If you happen to like this movie or just Gilliam in general then I would suggest finding this book. The author, Andrew Yule, takes around thirty interviews from people related to the movie and encompasses all of the delays and pitfalls associated with it. From trying to cast Marlon Brando as the King of the Moon to the self centered producers (Thomas Schuly) total lack of concern for the crew or anyone in general this book shows how one of the most over-budgeted films of its time($20 million over) became a flop.

Excellent book!
I started to use the book three month ago because I'm researching in spray techniques. It's amazing how in just one book I could find lots of information related with my research; it could take me more time to collect it. The book has excellent theoretical explanations supported with a very good number of industrial examples. It is still being useful for me in a study of scale removal in oilwell tubing using spray technique.

Excellent technical book
I started to use this book three moth ago, because I was looking for information related with atomization. It is amazing how in one book I could find all the information related with the topic, otherwise it would take me more time to find all this information separately. The book has excellent theoretical explanations and a very good number of industrial aplications.
The book still being useful for me in a investigation of scale removal in a oilwell tubing using high pressure sprays.

positive book
The book has opened my horizon, being from Middle East and living abroad as an engineer researcher, I have found it particularly interesting with the up to date information. Wealth of information and excellent selection of images.
Well done authors and the publisher.

The most unbiased account of Dorothy Stratten
If you are interested in the life and death of 1980's slain Playboy Playmate of the Year, Dorothy Stratten, more than half of this book is devoted to her. Not only does it include the important role she played in Bogdanovich's life, but it is a descriptive "biography within a biography". I highly recommend this book on that account, even more so than Bogdanovich's biography of her, "The Killing of the Unicorn." The reason being that Andrew Yule uses unbiased evidence to describe the cirucumstanses of her incredibly amazing, but tragically short life. It also gives the LAPD account of her gruesome murder, which according to Mr. Yule is not accurate in the "Killing of the Unicorn". If you saw the recent television biography of Dorothy Stratten and you want to know more, I cannot recommend this book enough.
