C. L. R. James

Fundamental Neuroscience, Second Edition

Academic Press, 2002

The best advanced text on the market
This textbook is a very detailed and very up-to-date exposition of Neuroscience, and in my view, for the more advanced student it is one of the best books out there. What it is NOT is a simple, concise introduction for people who are studying the nervous system for the ...

The Black Jacobins: Toussaint L'Ouverture and the San Domingo Revolution

C.L.R. James

Vintage, 1989

Good Read!
Excellent! At time, Mr. James annoyed me to no end. But what kept me reading was he had the balls to write truth, though at times his constantly editorializing made me roll my eyes. His work has certainly added to my body of knowledge about Haiti, Toussaint and ...

Minty Alley

C. L. R. James

University Press of Mississippi, 1997

Rare and interesting novel by a noted historian
Minty alley is one of the first books C.L.R. James wrote, before he found his niche as a historian and cricket writer. But This isn't because of any lack of talent in fiction writing. The characters of Minty Alley are real and rounded and tell us something about ...

Mariners, Renegades and Castaways: The Story of Herman Melville and the World We Live In (Reencounters With ...

C. L. R. James

Dartmouth, 2001

Great book from a brilliant mind.
CLR James was one of the earliest left wing thinkers to break from Orthodox Marxist dogmatism, even rejecting Leninism and the notion of the 'Vanguard of the Proletariat' all the way back in the late '40's, a move that left him alienated from the mainstream Left of the ...

Robotic Radiosurgery. Treating Tumors that Move with Respiration (Robotic Radiosurgery)

Springer, 2007

Don't be stupid like me and buy this book
Terrible book. I see no reason why a couple of the editors were thoracic surgeons. And quit calling it radiosurgery, call it what it is-stereotactic body radiation therapy.

C.L.R. James is the author of unquestionably the best book ever written about cricket: "Beyond a Boundary" - indeed, one of the finest books written about sport, period. In print ever since its publication in 1963, it has just been reissued again by Yellow Jersey. But James wrote about cricket all his life, though he only ever published one other ...
