Cal Garrison

IX-EL Pub., LLC, 2006

Beyond words
I have no words to describe the value of this book. For all people who do care for the environment, this book offers an opportunity to really undertake something on a much larger scale than by just taking some personal lifestyle measures. You should really not hesitate ...
  
  











  



  
A World Waiting to Be Born: Civility Rediscovered
M. Scott Peck

Bantam, 1994

What civility really means
Peck starts his book with an example followed by a question: a man on an airplane, after talking to a fellow passenger, sees him as a business prospect, excuses himself, checks the man's credit rating, then returns with a drink "for his new best friend." Why, Peck ...

Julius Shulman, Modernism Rediscovered
Julius Shulman, Hunter Drohojowska-Philp, ...

Taschen, 2007

Shulman Modernism
A fittingly huge tribute to the man who captured Modernism in western America and especially in California. I thought the beauty of these three large books (check out the weight and dimensions in the Product Details section) was the way they are organized: ...

Is He Dead?: A Comedy in Three Acts (Jumping Frogs: Undiscovered, Rediscovered, and Celebrated Writings of ...
Mark Twain

University of California Press, 2006

Delightful bit of Fun from Mark Twain!
I must preface my review with the truth that I am totally and hopelessly Twain obsessed. I won't say that only a Twain lover will "get" this play but it certainly wouldn't hurt! I enjoyed it immensely and laughed out loud many times. Theatre was one of Twain's passions ...

Pierre Franey

Crown, 1999

Delicious, but longer than 60-Minutes!
As always, Franey's recipes are delicious. Everything we've cooked, so far, has been quite an enjoyable meal. However, being a competent but by no means an expert cook, I find that I can't complete the recipes in 60 minutes! For someone who followed Franey's New York ...

Malcolm Bull

Oxford University Press, USA, 2005

By the end of the 15th century, the remains of the ancient gods littered the landscape of Western Europe. Christianity had erased the religions of ancient Greece and Rome and most Europeans believed the destruction of classical art was God's judgment on the pagan deities. How, then, did European artists during the next three centuries create such ...
