After the success of his novel BLACKBOARD JUNGLE, Evan Hunter (Ed McBain) turned to what were then referred to as "novelettes," his subject being the 87th Precinct detectives of Isola (think New York). As time passed, the 87th Precinct novelettes grew to full-length ...

In the twenty-first century, the body is experienced less as a fixed entity than it is as a protean product and a project of technological, medical and artistic invention. These essays address the proliferation of such transformative practices as tattooing, piercing, self-cutting, cosmetic and trans-sexual surgery, prosthetics, organ transplants ...
Transgressions

Random House Trade Paperbacks
, 2005
The Road Less Traveled: Examining Inner Life
I admire Sarah Dunant as an author because she has the ability to flay open her psyche and share it with us readers. In Transgressions this took courage because it is politically incorrect to imply that rape could be so complex as to (under the right circumstances) ...

Wonderful.....
If you were lucky enough to see this show you know what a wonderful, edgy but beautiful exhibit it was. I was so happy there would be a book and anticipated it for many many months. I know that no book can recreate the actual expereince of being there so just having ...
Pierced for Our Transgressions: Rediscovering the Glory of Penal Substitution

Michael Ovey
, ...
Crossway Books
, 2007
A Line in the Sand
The doctrine of penal substitution doesn't, on the face of it, sound too glorious. It is a doctrine involving curse, punishment, blood and death. It is little wonder that people object to it so strenuously. Indeed, this teaching has been at the very center of a rift ...

In this fresh, accessible, and beautifully illustrated book, his third to examine an aspect of Roman visual culture, John R. Clarke explores the question, "What made Romans laugh?"

Avid reader's review
Considering that I have attempted reading some of latest and most popular fiction novels, and then disposed of them before completion, I consider myself a difficult customer to please. But I found this story both interesting, thought provoking and very capable of ...
Transgressions, Vol. 2: The Things They Left Behind / The Ransome Women
John Farris
,
Stephen King
Forge Books
, 2006
Great King
"The Things They Left Behind" is very simple and very moving. It is perhaps the best King I have read in 10 years. His talents were put to good use in this one. It took me back to 2001-2002 when we were pulling together and before we went back to business as usual, ...
Sacred Transgressions
Seth Benardete
St. Augustines Press
, 1999
This detailed commentary on the action and argument of Sophocles' Antigone is meant to be a reflection on and response to Hegel's interpretation in the Phenomenology (VI.A.a-b). It thus moves within the principles Hegel discovers in the play but reinserts them into the play as they show themselves across the eccentricities of its plot. Wherever ...

He has been a fixture of New York's "Downtown Scene" since the mid-70s as a tireless proponent of avant-garde and experimental music. Despite the acclaim and respect he has achieved in America and abroad, very little attention has been paid to Zorn by ...
The Patrian Transgression (Star Trek, Book 69)
Simon Hawke
Star Trek

Great book. Especially the idea of a planet with mind cops.
The idea of a planet with artificially created mind police to perform law enforcement is quite orginal. Question: Doesn't the Patrian dude on the cover resemble Ted Kennedy, who played Ruk in "What are Little Girls Made Of" in TOS (he also played Lurch in The Addams ...
