SuEllen Hamkins, Renee Schultz

Hudson Street Press, 2007

a wonderful resource for parents
I think "The Mother-Daughter Project" is a terrific book. I have recommended it to parents that I see in my practice as a child psychiatrist, to friends who have daughters, and to anyone whom I meet who has daughters! I believe this book is a rich tool, from the ...

Sting: Back on the Beat

Christopher Sandford

Da Capo Press, 2007

Blindingly, appallingly stupid
Not only is this the worst biography I've ever read, it's the worst book I've ever read. That a grub street hack like Sandford gets published borders on criminal. There is nothing presented here that one couldn't find by reading a few archived magazine articles and ...

Calypso Calaloo: Early Carnival Music in Trinidad
Donald R. Hill

Univ Pr of Florida, 1993

"Mathilda, she take me money and run Venezuela", may sound familiar, but how about "From a scandal and hideous bacchanal/Today we got a glorious carnival", or "anywhere you go you must meet people sad/They search for employment, none can be had". Classic calypso, one of the greatest creations of Caribbean culture, is more than the frivolous music ...

The Penguin Encyclopedia of Popular Music: Second Edition

Donald Clarke

Puffin, 1999

Should be as good as the 1st ed.
Don't get me wrong, I HAVE NOT READ the book. I'm going to, but I'll have to wait for sometime before I can lay my hands on it. But, if Clarke really did to the second ed. as what he'd done to the first ed. (1988), then this book deserve to be your ultimate guide to ...

She's Got the Beat (Simon Romantic Comedies)

Nancy Krulik

Simon Pulse, 2005

A fantastic book
This book is awesome, funny and also very romantic. I can relate very much to Miranda because I'm a small town girl myself, who later went on to experience life in a big city. This book proves to all teenage girls that to get the man of your dreams, just be you, and ...

Carnival In Rio mini: Samba, Samba, Samba

Terry George

edel CLASSICS GmbH, 2007

GC of Oz
This is a lovely depiction of Carnaval in Rio. The photos are from recent carnavals, it makes a good coffee table book. Surprisingly the CD accompanying the book is excellent. Its worth buying the book for the CD alone.

Dave McAleer

Backbeat Books, 1994

A great way to see popular music
I love this book because it is a great way to compare and contrast the music scenes in the United States and the United Kingdom, as well as some music history tidbits and photos as well. No music fan's library should be without this book, especially if you have a ...

Dozens of color illustations by Garrian Manning demonstrate the many ...
