Book Description
In Human Oddities, by newcomer Noria Jablonski, we meet Siamese twins, newly separated, drag queens, and seedy hospital orderlies. A corpse washed up on the beach, cancer diagnoses, and tummy tuck operations all intrude abruptly into characters’ lives; sadness is interrupted by hilarity. Jablonski’s characters cope with the drama of the body and what it means, what it feels like, to be marked as different.
If Ludwig Wittgenstein’s belief that “the human body is the best picture of the human soul” is right, what does that say about the diseased body, the less-than-perfect body? Without flinching, Noria Jablonski shows us the passions and longings of her characters, made more vivid by their bodies in doubt, on hold, in transit. Her earthy, pungent characters and deadpan narrative style leave their mark on a reader.
With the blunt, gritty impact of a Diane Arbus photograph, these are stories of lives not commonly recorded, and the characters—often physically unique, some might say monstrous—are delivered with compassion, dignity, and a hopeful, therapeutic humor. Brought to light, they deepen our understanding of the human condition, revealing us to ourselves.
Customer Reviews:
interesting folks.......2006-07-07
Jablonski is a story weaver to keep and eye on. Her characters are carefully constructed. I thouroughly enjoyed reading this collection. The thread of connection is body image but each story is unique and intriguing. I suppose if one has exhausted the threshold of unusual and interesting folks in their lives then perhaps they might be put off by this book. I relish in newness and oddities of all kinds.
Brilliant Writing.......2006-07-06
Apparently brilliant writing, deftly constructed characters, and excellent storytelling isn't enough for some people. True, this book features few explosions. If other things are more important to you, give this book a shot. Jablonski is one of the finest wordsmiths I've read in some time.

Boring.......2006-07-05
This book was pretty boring and so were most of the characters.. A few of the stories were vaguely interesting, but most were not entertaining in the least. I tried to keep reading in the hopes that it would get better, but eventually gave up.
Must Read (esp. for Gaitskill fans!).......2005-11-09
I never write reviews, but after reading Human Oddities, I felt compelled to tell others how great these stories are. Jablonski's writing is reminiscent of early Mary Gaitskill- raw, honest, and lovingly concerned with the details of life that make most people avert their gaze. But Jablonski is sweeter than Gaitskill, less incisive. Her writing invites you to embrace her characters' psychic and physical deformities in one big group hug.
I loved all the stories. But the conjoined twins in "Pam Calls her Mother on Five-cent Sundays" made me want to cheer, I loved them so much. "The Monkey's Paw" was one of the best renderings I've ever read of the 'magical crush' - that connection you had with someone where it seemed so damn meant-to-be and yet, and yet... I also loved Big Guy, but then I've been known to grieve in really debasing ways too. ;)
I think it's Jablonski's first published book and it has some of the crackliness and self-consciousness that you find in the early work of someone still finding their groove. But still, read this book. It is kind and smart and will touch you in funny places.
Our Mothers, Our Hells.......2005-10-27
Human Oddities, Noria Jablonski's short story debut, is teeming with the kind of people your mother warned you about. It's even got some mothers of whom your own mother might not approve. In fact, Part One of the book contains three tales focusing on just such a matriarch. Seen from the viewpoint of the narrator, the Mommy who emerges from Jablonski's pages is narcissistic and neurotic in ways that could shame Joan Crawford. Moreover, her vanity is married to a severe brand of body dysmorphic disorder that pushes her from drugs to cosmetic surgery in ever more desperate bids to alleviate a smidgen of her self-loathing.
While this expos of common, household dysfunctions is enough to justify the book's title, the more obvious Human Oddities occur in Part II. Here we enter a sea littered with hominid flotsam. "One of Us" features Siamese twins - the second set we meet in the book. "Monkey's Paw" climbs inside the world of an infuriating relationship on the skids and the unrequited devotion that allows it to survive. "Big Guy" examines the kind of faceless, working class stiffs, who consider sex with, well... stiffs. "The End of Everything," the last and most accomplished story in the collection introduces transvestites and murderers.
In this final tale, Jablonski flexes her writer's muscles to add complexity to a life that outsiders might carelessly dismiss with a single epithet. Interestingly, it is here that the mother figure, who has haunted so many of the previous tales in the form of a monstrous and carelessly selfish antagonist, takes shape as the alter ego of the main character himself.
All the stories in the collection exude a quiet desperation examined unflinchingly and with an eye toward everyday details that forces the reader to see a reflection of themselves in those from whom they would most like to avert their gaze. Human Oddities was number three on the bestseller list at Atomic Books in Baltimore, between Playboy Brunettes and 101 Diseases You Don't Want to Get - two more books full of people your mother doesn't want you to meet.

Book Description
The second title in a new trilogy from best-selling author Richard A. Knaak, now in paperback.
This direct follow-up to the best-selling War of Souls trilogy deals with the minotaurs, a race with which New York Times best-selling author Knaak is particularly associated in the minds of Dragonlance novels fans. This series moves the minotaur species to the forefront of the Dragonlance world.
Customer Reviews:
Sometimes You Need a Big Slab of Beef.......2006-06-08
Knaak isn't a great writer, like a Martin or even a Jordan, but he is solid. He never shows a great deal of originality or complex characters, but neither does me make bad choices with plot or write bad prose. As I said, he's a solid writer, good but not great.
With this novel, he shows this, continuing his minotaur trilogy with a story that has been told before, but a story that is told well. An Emperor is brought down, a possible heir escapes into slavery, breaks free and along the way he meets a warthog and a meercat and brings down his evil uncle. So it's a common plot. So it's a Disney movie and a Broadway play. Sometimes you need a Big Mac. You need to not think about the story and just read, let the mind wonder, and as far as Big Macs go, this is a really good Big Mac. To steal from another company, it's a Six Dollar Big Mac.
It is also the best of the three novels in the trilogy. The first really didn't have a chance because of the structure. Knaak jumps around every ten pages in this trilogy, so when you start off its kind of annoying having to remember twenty names in the first fifty pages. By the second novel this isn't a problem. You know the characters. On the action scale, it rates very high, but that's not always a good thing. When I was fourteen I remember being entertained by "our hero versus four ogres" but now, in my twenties, I've been there, done that, its just filler, nothing is going to happen nine times out of ten to anyone that hasn't been introduced in the last ten pages. This led to quite a bit skimming through this book, but all the fighting was well-done, and there are a couple nice fights evolving detailed villains. And, the plot is the best of the trilogy, revolving around the temple's growing power, Faros' life as a runaway slave, and the friction of the imperial family.
Final Thought: So far, post War of Souls stuff has been really bad. This is one of the better ones. If you are looking for that time frame, pick this trilogy up, its all in paperback now.
Great Second Book.......2006-03-27
If you like battles and internal strife, this is the book for you. The second book in the minotaur series has the minotaurs already in the midst of invading Ansalon. Faros is trying to escape from imprisonment and exact revenge up his oppressors. Also, to show the unity in the ogre nations should make this worrisome for other races of Ansalon also. A major shake-up of the eastern side of the continent is going to affect the entire continent soon enough....
Tides of Blood.......2006-01-12
Tides of Blood - By Richard A. Knaak
Wizards of the Coast, April 1st 2005, 384 pages
Fantasy
This is the second book of a trilogy about the Minotaur race during the war of the souls. This trilogy belongs to the book series called Dragonlance.
This book takes place in the minotaur empire and in the ogre kingdom. The time is during the war of souls. The gods have left Krynn and magic is nothing more than a shallow husk. Rumors have been spread that the undead can no longer pass on to the after life and now they wander the planet draining people who try to use magic. During this trying time, minotaur emperor Hotak has made a pact with their ancient enemies, the ogres to try to take over the continent of Ansalon. He has also forged a pact with the mysterious Mina and her growing army to try to take over the legendary home of the elves, Silvanesti. But rebels and a growing darkness plague Hotak's kingdom right under his muzzle. As the escaped slave Faros begins to build an army of fugitives in the land of the ogres, Hotak's wife, Nephera continues to be consumed by an unholy darkness. The main characters of this story are Hotak, the throne usurper; Faros, nephew of the late emperor Chot; Nephera, wife of the emperor Hotak and Hotak's two sons, Bastion and Ardnor.
This is an exciting, intriguing book that will have you begging for more. Knaak makes this second book a nonstop thriller of rebellion, love, war and suspicion. His first book in the trilogy, Night of Blood, Knaak had built a powerful story and he continues it in this second installment. I enjoyed this book as much as I enjoyed his previous one, Nights of Blood. If you are a fan of fantasy and Dragonlance, I highly urge you to go and pick up Knaak's trilogy today.

A collection of short stories, essays, poems, song lyrics, and a weblog from the time that his novel American Gods was going to press.

All-in-one.......2007-01-10
This book is very handy for the Neil Gaiman fan who doesn't want to collect every scrap that has his name on it; it does that for you! Various introductions, miscellaneous poems, and the American Gods web log are all compiled here so that we don't have to try to find it! It's interesting to see Neil's conversational tones and to get a glimpse of what he really finds worthwhile.
Gaiman Strikes Again.......2003-08-18
A fascinating look at writing from a writer's perspective. While there are a few poems and stories, the book centers around essays, introductions, and a vast excerpt from his blog during his proofing/touring for American Gods. I found him witty, erudite, and always in a good humor about life. Most of all, on nearly every page I learned something new and interesting, about writing, publishing, traveling, or best of all, the many authors Gaiman knows. Far too many things I would like to mention than I ever can, but you can see for yourself: NeilGaiman.com, click on journal. All of the archives are there still, if you care to peruse.
what I found most interesting is that Gaiman, who admitted that he couldn't keep a journal and kept saying that it would only be going until the tour was over and the rest of the site was up, was thoroughly hooked by the end. ^_- He's still going very strong, and in fact, the entries are longer and more frequent than in the first few months.
I think Gaiman fascinates me so much because he keeps his wry outlook on everything around him, even when rushed and tired. I love storytellers, and he always finds a story to tell, always something (and when signing things for hundreds of fans, interesting is the word of the day) to relate for us, often strange and wonderous. He isn't the great explainer, like Asimov, but everything he touches seems steeped in history and mystery, and he can remind you of the magic and wonder in the world. Like his garden. ^_^ (Look in the blog for August 5 and September 2)
Yes, Neil's a genius, but not for going on a book tour........2003-05-01
I'd love to read a weblog about Neil writing American Gods. How did he forge all those sources into a new story that feels true? But this is a weblog about an author going on tour. Honestly, who cares? Neil's a genius, but this is not what he's a genius for. Stick with the stories. Skip the blog.

Deep and Profound.......2007-03-19
For those of you who are new to Voegelin perhaps a word generally about his work will be helpful. Voegelin was born in Cologne, Germany in 1901. In 1938, he and his wife fled from Germany to the United States. From this context alone it is not surprising that Voegelin is very critical of the Nazis in particular and totalitarian regimes in general. What is perhaps more surprising to those who first come across Voegelin is his claim that regimes such as the Nazis are derivatives of such generally loved intellectual movements as the Enlightenment and Progressivism.
Taken together, the three works published in this volume provide a good basis for understanding how Voegelin comes to this conclusion. In this regard, "The New Science of Politics" is probably the most comprehensive work of the three. However, I would make two suggestions to those who are considering tackling this volume. First, read the first and third (that is, "The Political Religions" and "Science, Politics, and Gnosticism") before reading "The New Science of Politics". I think that the first and third pieces are much easier to read, even though they are less encompassing overall. Second, read "The New Science of Politics" twice. I read that installment for the first time about a year ago and I feel that I understood a lot more the second time around.
Voegelin is a great thinker, and his works in this volume provide a different, and yet very profound way of looking at modern Western society. I think Voegelin's construction of Gnosticism is right on as a critique of the modern psyche. I would recommend this book to anyone looking to explore the work of Voegelin; this is a great place to start. The writing is fairly difficult, but you don't have to understand everything to take a lot from this book.
Gnosticism and Political Religions........2002-01-25
_Modernity Without Restraint_ presents three of Erik Voegelin's essays on the modern political religions, including Marxism, National Socialism, Hegelianism, Nietzschianism, and Heideggerianism. To Voegelin, these thinkers are all best described as "gnostics" and in their effort to create God's Kingdom on Earth seek to "immanentize the Christian eschaton". In "The Political Religions", Voegelin traces back the origin of political religion to the Egyptian worship of the Sun, the cult of Akhenaton. He traverses the history of the Middle Ages, and he shows how the archetype of the Christian apocalypse (a heresy to the orthodox Christian) came to occupy a central role in political religion. He includes a good discussion of the leviathanic state of Thomas Hobbes. Finally he ends with a compelling picture of the National Socialist state embodied in the Fuehrer. Although he was criticized in this essay for not outrightly condemning the National Socialists, Voegelin stated that this in fact just reveals the satanic allure that this political religion holds. To Voegelin, National Socialism is "satanic". In "The New Science of Politics", Voegelin examines various modes of representation from Plato and Aristotle through the Roman Empire. He then discusses the idea of gnosticism; he views the modern political religions as a restoration of the Gnostic heresy (condemned by early Christianity), an attempt to replace faith with certainty and bring about the Kingdom of God on Earth. This idea arose in the apocalyptic tradition, transmitted through the Middle Ages by the followers of Joachim de Fiore. He discusses in particular the case of the English Puritans. According to Voegelin, the modern political philosophies of liberalism, communism, and the philosophy of Thomas Hobbes are under the spell of gnosticism. In "Science, Politics, and Gnosticism", the most interesting of the essays presented, Voegelin delves into the thinkers Hegel, Marx ("an intellectual swindler"), Nietzsche ("the murder of God"), Heidegger, and psychoanalysis and National Socialism. To Voegelin, these thinkers are all "gnostics", and the movements spurred by their philosophies are "ersatz religions".
Voegelin represents an interesting alternative to modernity and liberalism. And this book among his collected works serves as an excellent introduction to the thought of this profound thinker, philosopher of gnosticism.

Customer Reviews:
Great book.......2004-09-23
Living in California, I never knew there were so many great places to drive my SUV. The trail descriptions in California Coastal Byways are extremely accurate, concise and helpful. I liked the photographs because they give a perspective on a tour. The list of resources, parks and places of interest in the back of the book is invaluable. I wish I had time to go on all the drives. Good job.
A terrific guide for rural California backroad explorations!.......2000-06-05
The spiral binding of this paperback may not make it accessible for library lending, but individuals seeking a family driving guide for backcountry California will find it wonderful. California Coastal Byways covers roads from the Oregon border to San Diego, focussing on the coastal Route 1 and offroad between this and 101. It's easy to look at the general map, choose a specific region, then read the different trip descriptions which include notes for car, bicycle and stops along the way, maps needed and how to get there. Highly recommended for any California resident or visitor who enjoys rural back roads explorations.
A surprising array of off-highway roads along the coast........1999-05-02
Who'd ever think that California, of all places, would have so many beautiful little dirt roads through the coastal mountains? It was such a pleasant surprise to see so much of wild, old California still in existence, thanks to this book and my Toyota 4Runner. At last, a guide for the non-hard-core four-wheeler!
Great glove-box trail guide.......1998-08-31
As new owners of a 4x4 SUV, we bought this book as a guide for weekend off-roading. We have done a few of the trails in San Diego and found Tony's book to be informative; with times, highlights of the trail by mile, and any cautions needed. However,'El Nino' has changed some terrain since the 1995 printing. We found some trails designated "easy" are now "moderate", etc., according to Tony's definitions. Great resource for finding those dirt roads and heading off into nature!
Customer Reviews:
Wonderful reference for collectors!.......2001-11-23
Great book for the avid collector of 20th century glass. Arranged by style, this reference book is easy to use. What would make this book a 5 star book? More color photographs would make this an unbeatable buy.
Pages and pages of Information!.......2001-10-26
This book lives up to it's title "Easy Identification"....I would recommend it to both new collectors as well as the experienced one! Loads of background information on glass companies as well as values!
A terrific book for helping identify 20th century glassware........1999-03-15
The great thing about this book is that the patterns are arranged by type of pattern rather than alphabetically. When trying to identify something, an alphabetical listing isn't a lot of help. Having patterns arranged by whether they have diamonds, flowers, flutes, hobnails, etc. makes a lot more sense and I wish more glass books were organized in this fashion. The authors have done a great job. If there is anything about this book I would change it would be to have more of it.
Customer Reviews:
Little Substance - Lot's of Self Promotion.......2002-02-13
It's hard to imagine this book being of much value even for a true and complete novice to prospecting. Written with blatant self promotion in mind for other Garrett products there is little if any substantive information on panning that could not be reduced to 4 or 5 pages with a couple of diagrams added. Would appear author may have been paid by the word given the tedious repetitions found throughout. Truly basic and nothing new here - spend your money elsewhere.
Gold Panning Is Easy.......2001-03-13
The book was well written in easy to understand language. The pictures were good. However it sounded like an advertisement for Garrett Metal Detectors and products.
Mr. Labal seemed to lack detailed knowledge about dry washing in the desert and dry washers in general. Dry washers do more than "vibrate" to extract the gold. Some use air and some use a combination of both. He talked about the lack of water in the desert and how drywashing was the only way to get the gold out. There is some truth to this but there are portable sluices or wet washing machines which use recirculated water to separate the gold from the "pay dirt". Most people who dry wash take wash tubs and containers of water with them. This allows them to use a gold pan and water to separate the gold from the concentrated material dry washers produce.
The book was revised in 1992 and needs to be revised again. There have been many advances in recreational prospecting equipment in the last decade and the book needs to reflect that.
As president of my local prospecting club I would recommend this book to any beginning prospector. I learned that my gold pan can do more than I thought it could!
Expensive advertisement!.......2000-10-04
This book does describe how to wet pan, dry pan and a few other things...BUT it is a very expensive advertisment for Garrett Metal Detectors and the "new" plastic pan. Very disappointed in content. Pictures are ok but not worth the money.
Hits the nail on the head.......2000-07-13
This is a comprehensive book on panning. Two things stand out for me. One, there is a by-the-numbers recipe for wet panning that is more detailed than any other book that I have read. Two, this is the only work that describes, in detail, dry panning.

Wayfinding: Designing and Implementing Graphic Navigational Systems
ASIN: 0075510162 |
Book Description
This book brings together, for the first time, expertise on all three of the elements which wayfinding is comprised: architecture; graphics; and verbal human interaction, within the context of the built environment. The authors, take the reader from a better understanding of the many types of wayfinding difficulties that people have, and why they have them, through an explanation of what wayfinding is and how the process works, to detailed examinations of the architectural, graphic, audible and tactile components involved in wayfinding design. A prescription, in effect, for a much-needed, brand-new design discipline.

Book Description
The art and commentary of Nell Brinkley (1886-1944) ran in American newspapers from 1907 through the 1930s. At the height of her popularity, "The Brinkley Girl" appeared in the Ziegfeld Follies and inspired poems and popular songs. Brinkley's name even sold hair curlers, and her delicate pen work influenced later women cartoonists. As early as 1913, Brinkley was drawing working women, from farm and factory workers to those pursuing careers, using her art to encourage decent pay, pensions, and housing for thousands of young women working for the war effort. This work covers her life and her work, which might upon first glance show pretty girls but on a closer inspection reveals a post-Victorian feminism. It also looks at her rise to popularity, the innocent sexuality of her Brinkley girls, the sugary and sentimental Betty and Billy series, and the beauty of her line drawings.
Customer Reviews:
Founding Mother of the Comics.......2005-10-09
In her day, Nell Brinkley and her cartoon women were hugely popular, the subject of mass advertising campaigns and stage show parodies, yet today she, and her 'Brinkley Girls', are almost forgotten, while less accomplished artist's creations, such as the "Gibson Girls", are fondly remembered.
Comics historian Trina Robbins goes some way towards redressing the balance with this intriguing history and analysis of Brinkley's career, copiously illustrated by the artist's lush, heavily-detailed work.
If remembered at all by most critics now, Brinkley tends to be dismissed as "fluff" or "chocolate-boxy", but while her style is, admittedly, heavily romantic and unashamedly sentimental, it also has a power and sense of adventure - and often, a biting, mordant wit - that has long been ignored. Robbins selects the illustrations well; one problem with reproducing Brinkley's work in a form that does it justice is the fact that the newspaper comics pages of her heyday, in the 1910's and 1920's, were huge, and often in colour, and a small, black & white paperback isn't able to reproduce full pages without reducing it to a muddy blur. Robbins circumvents this skillfuly by focussing on Brinkley's editorial and commentary cartoons, and reproducing smaller insets from the larger pages which enable readers to appreciate the complexity and richness of Brinkley's material.
Yes, the book could have used a snappier title, but don't let the "academic tome" name deter you; this is a fascinating and refreshing look at an artist whose work is long overdue for a reappraisal.
Timeless Love of Art.......2005-01-08
Author Trina Robbins,once also an artist,shows an undying admiration for the work of the late Nell Brinkley in this book .She delivers the story with such beautiful that the reader enters in.
Included in the book is actual art by Nell Brinkley ,and this is a breathtaking book!
