Zorro : The Masters Edition Vol. One (Zorro the Masters Edition)
Johnston McCulley Manufacturer: Pulp Adventures Inc ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 1891729209 |
Book Description
The Legend and Lore of ZORRO has delighted audiences for nearly a century-now see where the legend began and developed in this sensational new series. Volume one of a series designed to reprint all of Johnston McCulley's ZORRO short stories, novellas and novelettes from the classic pulp magazines.Customer Reviews:
A Really Enjoyable read.......2002-12-07
Amusing Collection of Zorro Stories.......2001-08-06
The situation of these stories is a little different from that of "The Mark of Zorro", the very first Zorro novel written by McCulley. For example, in "The Mark of Zorro", nobody dreams that languid Don Diego is Senor Zorro, while in these stories, the Army officers suspect Don Diego to be Zorro. The stories mainly describe how the enemies try to trap Don Diego/Zorro and how Don Diego/Zorro brilliantly outwits them. They are amusing and I enjoy reading them.
I would be happier if this book were an ordinary size paperback and much less expensive. But I will perhaps buy Volume Two if available.

Lobo 101.......2004-02-17
Lots o' Lobo!.......2003-06-23
During a storyline that has Lobo chase a white Rabbit (the car, not the animal) into a black hole, we revisit moments in Lobo's life. Some of the comic books that have clips presented are: L.E.G.I.O.N., Justice League International, Omega Men, Mister Miracle, Superman, and Adventures of Superman. In the back of the book is a complete list of these series along with issue numbers of the certain ones used.
If you're a devoted Lobo fan, but the graphic for the original material, some of it's pretty funny. Still, chase down the actual comic books mentioned and read the entire book. By presenting only a few pages from each book the editors are neutering the Main Man as badly as Vril Dox did!
Overall, though, this is a good graphic and starting out place for new fans. However, if you are a new fan and don't already own a copy of Lobo: the Last Czarnian, rush out and grab one now! It's far better than this one!

A Man And His Pan
Boswell Manufacturer: Andrews McMeel Publishing ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 0836278542 |

Boswell and Wyler. What sounds at first like a boutique law office is, in fact, a highly successful concept cookbook production team. They're the ones behind all those 365 Ways to Cook titles. And now, in what appears to be a labor of fun, as well as love, comes A Man and His Pan. Boswell is careful to point out in the introduction that he in no way means to exclude women from his one-pan-does-it-all-cookbook. He just couldn't resist the title.A Man and His Pan proposes two basic elements of successful cooking: ease of production and even easier cleanup. This is a book based on nonstick cookware. Teflon came out in 1962, but the nonstick cookware of today has about as much to do with those early adventures as the portable typewriter has to do with a laptop computer. As Boswell points out, being careful of temperature and avoiding harsh abrasives are about all the special care this cookware needs. Pick the right pan, Boswell counsels, and you are well on your way to one-pan cooking, which is really what this book is all about.
The eight chapters of A Man and His Pan cover breakfast, red meats, chicken, seafood, one-pan meals, short-order gourmet, sides for all occasions, and pan cooking for kids. The recipes are direct and simple, and bold flavor appears to be the underlying theme. There's a pan-fried steak, for example, with a Madeira-balsamic vinegar reduction sauce that tastes like it's right out of a four-star restaurant, but cooks up in one pan like a charm. In the "Short Order Gourmet" chapter, you'll find a Spicy Peanut Chicken Stir-Fry that can hold its own against any Kung Pao takeout, home-delivered or not.
For anyone who is starting to cook, this is a good place to begin. For anyone who has been knocking out family meals night after night, this is a terrific place to come back to for simple, flavorful ideas. There will be no battles about doing the dishes if you use this book, one pan, and paper plates. --Schuyler Ingle

Gadget Man
Ron Goulart Manufacturer: Wildside Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 1587154757 |
Book Description
The Republic of Southern California was in serious trouble. The casually repressive rule of the junta was threatened, not only by the growing band of guerrillas in the south, but also by the sudden, inexplicable outbreak of riots in the Republic's wealthiest suburbs. Then word reached the Social Wing of the Police Corps that the daughter of the guerrillas' leader had information about the cause of the riots, and Sergeant James Xavier Hecker was sent to investigate.Hecker was an unlikely policeman: not only did he lack any overwhelming personal ambition, but he also retained a vestigial faith in the good will of the men and women around him. And his odyssey through the rubble of our consumption-oriented, gadget-filled, anything-for-kicks society-by turns surprising, appalling, and devilishly funny-makes an unusually entertaining and perceptive novel.

Islamic Patterns: An Analytical and Cosmological Approach
Keith Critchlow Manufacturer: Inner Traditions ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0892818034 Release Date: 1999-08-01 |
Book Description
• The classic study of the cosmological principles found in the patterns of Islamic art and how they relate to sacred geometry and the perennial philosophy.
• 150 color and black-and-white drawings of Islamic patterns.
• Explains how these patterns guide the mind from the mundane world of appearances to its underlying reality.
For centuries the nature and meaning of Islamic art has been wrongly regarded in the West as mere decoration. In truth, because the portrayal of human and animal forms has always been discouraged on Islamic religious principles that forbid idolatry, the abstract art of Islam represents the sophisticated development of a nonnaturalistic tradition. Through this tradition, Islamic art has maintained its chief aim: the affirmation of unity as expressed in diversity.
In this fascinating study the author explores the idea that unlike medieval Christian art, in which the polarization of such forms and patterns was relegated to a background against which to set sacred images, the geometrical patterns of Islamic art can reveal the intrinsic cosmological laws affecting all creation. Their primary function is to guide the mind from the mundane world of appearances toward its underlying reality.
Numerous drawings connect the art of Islam to the Pythagorean science of mathematics, and through these images we can see how an Earth-centered view of the cosmos provides renewed significance to those number patterns produced by the orbits of the planets. The author shows the essential philosophical and practical basis of every art creation--whether a tile, carpet, or wall--and how this use of mathematical tessellations affirms the essential unity of all things. An invaluable study for all those interested in sacred art, Islamic Patterns is also a rich source of inspiration for artists and designers.

This book provides a comprehensive insight into Islamic Patterns in a clear and concise way. I have used this book on a number of occasions when I have needed inspiration for drawings, paintings and even for works of management strategy - curiously enough. It has a wonderful way of both focusing and relaxing the mind that seems to encourage channeled creativity.

Two Badges: The Lives Of Mona Ruiz

ASIN: 155885455X |
Amazon.com
Never forgetting the words of her father, who said that police are Christ's soldiers on the rough city streets, Mona Ruiz spent her youth with gangs, married an abusive husband, then went from collecting welfare to preserving the welfare of others as a police officer in her hometown of Santa Ana. Ruiz tells her story with the objective eye of a detective who sees both the issues of necessity in joining a gang and the gang system's fatal vision of drugs and war. Informative and inspiring, Ruiz is one who made it out of the gangs, but never abandoned the streets.Book Description
With this riveting autobiography, Mona Ruiz and co-author Geoff Boucher spin a gripping tale of one woman's private war to escape the tentacles of the street gangs that have carved her barrio into turfs where one misstep leads to violence.This engrossing memoir charts Ruiz's journey toward self-identity, tracing the tortuous path of her lifea life in which Ruiz assumed contradictory roles: gang chola, high school drop-out, disowned daughter, battered wife, welfare mother, student, and policewoman. At each step in the journey, Ruiz faced violence, ridicule, and skepticism. She nevertheless prevailed in exchanging her badge of social defiance for one of protecting her community.
This eloquent monument to courage and triumph against all odds will inspire every reader who has at some time felt overwhelmed by the daunting challenges life brandishes.
