That wacky,wacky,Williams!!.......2002-05-18
This is an excellant collection of Robert Willians art. However there are a few problems with the lay out of the book.The first 47 or so pages are black and white reproductions which I found kind of pointless and it also took the edge off of the art work.The last 32 pages or so are the color versions of the art work. All in all it is a good collection of Mr. Williams art work.
Circus Clowns Battling to the death..........2000-10-04
That about sums it up. That and hot-rod car wrecks. If your remotely interested, you need this book to complete your life.
Don't be afraid to study it TWICE.......2000-01-12
I first received a copy of Visual Addiction from the nude model in my Life Drawing class in college.It is a collection of images: the first half is black&white with looooong titles, the second half is identical, but in color with only plate numbers. The imagery is stunning...some of the artwork is offensive, even to an open-minded person like myself.I have studied this book(portfolio, if you will) and I still find new things in the artwork. I CHALLENGE YOU TO STUDY THE GENIUS THAT IS ROBERT WILLIAMS. Buy this book without any knowledge of its content, and you will not be disapponted( that is, if you are the type of person who likes to see circus clowns battling to the death...).

Book Description
The stirring true story of how Naval Corpsman and POW Estel Myers survived on the brutal Japanese hell ships during the waning months of WWII, Belly of the Beast is a personal history of his horrendous journey to freedom-and a shocking chronicle of a relatively unknown chapter of WWII. Heroic, horrific, and, ultimately, inspiring, it is a tribute to the power of faith, the strength of the soul, and the triumph of the human spirit.
Customer Reviews:
Very disappointing, title is misleading........2007-06-06
To start with the title might lead you to believe this is a 'POW's true story" except the POW passed away in 1973 and never wrote this story. It is nothing more than using a mans name to lend some authenticity to the "based upon a true story" concept. The dialogue is completely made up by the author and it reads like a 1950's television show... "Gee fellas... those japs sure are nasty". In my opinion this should be listed as fiction. The author claims in her opening that she did not want to distract the reader with footnotes. I can see why because there wouldn't be any. Overall this 'novel' could have been put together with a dozen or so Wikipedia searches and some overly cheesy dialogue. If you are looking for a true accounts similiar to Night by Elie Weisel this isn't it! Ghost Soldiers and Baa Baa Black Sheep are two that come to mind that give a much better treatment of the subject. If you are only interested in the glossed over Ladies Home Journal version this might do, but barely.
incredible.......2005-10-07
the best book i have read so far on this subject.i felt i was living every moment, but so glad i was not. a true testimony to the spirit of human courage and endurance. and a valuable insight to the inhumanities of mankind.
The Worst Book Ever.......2004-08-20
I speak from the perspective of someone who has known several Philippine POWs and have read extensively on this subject. This book is so full of inaccuracies it is not worth anyone's time to read it. There are hundreds of better books out there on the subject. Save your money!
A Harrowing Story of Atrocities and Survival.......2003-11-15
Author Judith Pearson has written a riveting tale about the improsonment and ultimate mistreatment of American POWs by the Japanese. The story centers around Estel Myers, a young man who joins the Army as a corpsman. After serving a tour in China, Myers was assigned to the Philippines shortly before the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. The Japanese invaded in mid-December, 1941, and Myers was taken prisoner by the Japanese.
Myers suffered for two years in a Japanese prison camp with very little food or water, but his ultimate punishment was soon to follow. The Americans had turned the tide against the Japanese,and were fighting their way back to re-capture the Philippines. Realizing this, the Japanese began loading their POWs on "Hell Ships"; grossly overloaded freighters; for the long voyage to prison camps in Japan. Myers was loaded aboard the ship Oryuku Maru with approximately 1,600 other POWs. Only about 400 arrived in Japan alive. Myers survived the sinking of the Oryuku Maru as well as transfers from two other Hell Ships before reaching Japan.
The conditions on the ships were much worse than in the camps. Each man was allotted approximately 1/4 cup of rotten rice per day, along with a tiny amount of water. Men were unable to sit or lay down in the holds of the ships due to the massive overcrowding. Sanitary facilities amounted to a bucket lowered by the Japanese. The death rate was astounding. In the later stages of the voyage, as many as fifty men were dying per day.
Upon reaching Japan, many of the men were put to work on docks, in coal mines, or building defense shelters. Many died, but some, including Myers, managed to survive to be liberated by the Americans. Myers eventually succumbed years later due to the toll taken on his body by the Japanese.
This is an eye-opening book. The atrocities committed by the Japanese are unbelievable, and it is a miracle that Myers managed to survive for so long. Read this fine book and live the life of a POW.
History from the human perspective.......2003-10-08
Bravo! What a terrific story Judy Pearson tells! I have always had trouble slogging through military history books because
I'm not interested in the weaponry or tactical details. This book weaves these battles into a compelling human interest story. I wanted to keep reading when I came to the last page.

Book Description
The Encomium Emmae Reginae is, as its title suggests, a political tract in praise of Queen Emma, daughter of Duke Richard I of Normandy, wife of King Ethelred the Unready from 1002 to 1016, and wife of the Danish conqueror King Cnut from 1017 to 1035. It is an important primary source that transports us into the heart of eleventh-century politics. This edition contains a new introduction that places the Encomium in the historical context in which it was written, and traces the career of Emma, a woman who was twice queen and who sought to preserve her position of power as queen-mother.
Customer Reviews:
A great read!.......2005-01-25
If you are interested in the life of Emma of Normandy, wife of King Canute, then this book will captivate you. It is a fascinating, contemporary look at the legendary events of 11th century England.
Terrific book!.......2002-10-23
This is a detailed, fact-filled book on Queen Emma of the 11th century. It is a fascinating portrait of a queen who lived through a lot of tragedies. Not for the light reader, though.

Informative.......2006-01-17
I love using Rough Guides and this was no exception. However I would've liked more info on cheaper restaurants, but I guess in a city like Toronto you can just walk a few steps and find a gem among the rocks.
The information on places of interest was also quite good.
Convenient Guide to Toronto.......2000-06-20
This book is ideal for a short trip to Toronto or for those who don't care to carry large, bulky books with them on vacation. Most of the information is short, to the point, with a minimum of color commentary. There is a section devoted to the history of the city and references to other books for those who want more information. The book is small enough to fit in a backpack or even a coat pocket so it can be carried with you. Probably not ideal for an extended stay, but overall helpful.

Inside the Mind of a Violent Revolutionary.......2005-06-16
Robert Griffin has done a thorough job of profiling the radical white nationalist Dr. William Pierce. Even Pierce himself questioned whether he had done enough to have a biography written about him, but Griffin has an interest in fringe groups and spends a lot of time covering Pierce's intellectual influences and who Pierce has influenced, as opposed to what Pierce has done. Like a lot of left or right wing extremists, Pierce often advocated the violent overthrow of what he thought was a corrupt order.
Pierce, who is now deceased, would often nurture his violent anger towards those who changed the country during the sixties--jews, blacks, communists, and liberals. This dark side of Pierce was well represented in his two pulp fiction books, The Turner Diaries and Hunter, which dwelled upon getting violent revenge against what he saw as a corrupt government, liberals, race-mixers, jews, and blacks. Timothy McVeigh loved the Turner Diaries for its anti-government message and had a quote from the book among other anti-government quotes from other mainstream sources with him when he was arrested. His connection with Pierce and white nationalists was tenuous.
An earlier violent white nationalist, Bob Matthews, was a member of Pierce's organization and was heavily influenced by the Turner Diaries. He and his compatriots began robbing porno shops and Brinks trucks to finance the revolution. Eventually, he died in a shoot out with a SWAT team. Pierce liked Matthews for being a manly man of action, but advised him that he shouldn't start a revolution before its time, during the education stage. Pierce was somewhat disappointed with the novels because he could still not bring in the professional class of people he wanted with his action-filled pot-boilers. Pierce believed that violent revolution was the only way to achieve what he wanted, a white ethno-state.
Pierce was a smart type of racist that was on the fast track to becoming a full professor in physics, but he began reading about racial topics during the upheaval in the sixties and decided to dedicate his life fully to saving the white race from dispossession. He was heavily influence by G. B. Shaw's play Man and Superman, coming away with the idea that we, as the white race, should focus on improving ourselves, not merely enjoying ourselves, collectively and individually. Pierce decided to "serve the life force" completely in fanatically pursuing his white activist goals after reading Shaw`s play.
Another interesting influence on Pierce was William Gayley Simpson, who became a missionary Christian helping the poor after reading about the life of Saint Francis of Assisi, but after several years of the Lord's work, decided that conditions of the poor could not be improved unless human quality was improved. If human quality is good, the environmental conditions of their living space will be good, if the quality is bad, then the conditions will be bad, despite all help to improve it. Such eugenic philosophies resonated with Pierce's own thinking.
Pierce's weekly social analysis given out over the internet was insightful as far as pointing out the racial double standards of modern western society, which Griffin presents parts of.
Pierce stated that white-on-black crime is often reported repeatedly nationally to instill guilt in whites that they are still racist, but black-on-white crime, which is much more prevalent, is only reported locally and often the race of the victims and perpetrators aren't mentioned and it is often not charged as a hate crime.
Pierce said that during the sixties, opponents to integration and civil rights were almost always shown on TV to be lower class angry rednecks. Higher class and better educated whites with articulate arguments against civil rights and integration were almost never shown on TV. This presentation had a way of manipulating viewers into coming to a decision guided by the media because the viewers would be turned off by the angry redneck. It is the old political tactic of presenting your enemies as stupid.
Pierce also stated that multiculturalism says that it is good for minorities to look out for their own racial interests and have pride in themselves, but whites are strongly discouraged to organize in behalf of their own interests and they are supposed to be ashamed of supposedly being oppressors.
Pierce talked about how the schools don't really teach white kids about their race, heritage, culture, and accomplishments in a positive way and classic and traditional educational texts such as McGuffey Readers and Aesop's Fables have been generally been taken out of the schools, leaving white students de-moralized and rootless.
Pierce was both disturbing and inspiring; forcing those whites who would listen to think about their future and their children`s future and what kind of society the future had in store for whites. But his violent anger had sometimes even his sympathizers calling for him to tone down his message. I'm sure he will live on in the minds of his followers for years to come, although his organization has dwindled, from what I've read, because of the leadership vacuum that occurred because of his death. Griffin does the biography right, laying down the facts cold and letting the reader decide whether Pierce was a good man or not, or something in between. This is also an interesting book on how books affect people in their thoughts and actions--for good or ill.
An interesting book for readers of all viewpoints........2004-07-27
I am not a white racialist. I say this not because I feel the need to issue this disclaimer for Political Correctness, or out of fear that I may be considered such, but to explain my perspective on the life of William Pierce, head of the National Alliance.
My father was an undergraduate student under Dr. Pierce in the early 1960s and to this day doesn't understand how someone who impressed him as the most intelligent man on campus could have gone on to head an organization such as the Alliance.He did, however, feel that Griffin did a thorough and fair job of setting forth Pierce's belief system. I presented him with this book after having read it three times myself, out of sheer fascination with Griffin's superb, elegantly and straightforwardly written text on this enigmatic figure who my father had spoken of many times in our household. Astonishingly, as my father was describing him in awestruck admiration, Pierce was in the thick of conducting a political and organization-building activity that my father-and many if not indeed most educated Americans-would consider repellent and loathsome.
The formation of Pierce's belief system and the process he followed in translating these concepts into action are well described, as is the genesis of the National Alliance, the white racialist organization Pierce founded and which is considered by anti-racist and civil rights organizations to be the most intellectual and the most dangerous of all such outfits. Along the way, I gained an insight into the working of Pierce's mindset, and I think I understand him and his ideas, his worldview, his sense of life as well as one possibly could without having actually known him.
Although I cannot accept his fundamental thesis of White Supremacy for intellectual reasons, I think that to some extent one has to admire the courage of his convictions, because it is incredibly difficult for a bright young academic with early tenure to leave academia and go forth to promote an idea that obviously will make him an absolute pariah among his former colleagues, students, the media, and society in general. Griffin neither makes apologies for Pierce's views, nor the acts of members of Pierce's Alliance;however, he reports them without clouding them with his judgment. The reader understands fully the facts of life about the National Alliance, including the actions of Robert Mathews and his "Order",which apparently made possible much of the National Alliance's access to facilities.
My only complaint is not with the book's content, but with its physical form: my copy had its covers curl up and fray at the edges within days after it arrived, and the spine split shortly thereafter. I had my copy professionally hardbound, but readers should expect that a book will not disintegrate within a few readings.I hope future printings will be bound with a more durable softcover.
Well written, fair, and interesting........2004-06-01
I really enjoyed reading this book. I had always
been curious about Dr. Pierce and didn't know that
much about where he'd come from or how he'd gotten
to be the man he was. This book answered all those
questions and more, and upon finishing it I had
a deeper respect for him.
I like the fact that he comes across as a man with
a sense of humor and a sort of worldliness that often
goes missing in men who take on the issues he took on
in his lifetime. He did not oversimplify things nor
did he work at making things complex in ways that weren't
necessary. I came to appreciate the *way* he thought
about things and the *way* he proceeded with his life
because of reading this book. Because of these things,
I found the book to be personally inspirational.
I was also delighted to find that Robert Griffin did
neither demonize nor glorify Dr. Pierce. I think he
portrayed Dr. Pierce as a man, the personal man being
the source for the public figure; faults and all.
I definitely recommend this book to anyone who is
curious about Dr. Pierce and doesn't want to read
something that is either fawning or villifying.
Well done, Mr. Griffin.
A Great book about a Great Man.......2004-03-13
Why is it that people who have never read the book, have nothing to contribute to the reviews, are allowed to post things such as hoping that a car hits another person?
Dr. Pierce was yet another person who didn't fit the liberal image of White Nationalists. Dr. Pierce had an IQ that was off the charts, and was capable of debating any subject a person could bring up, in any field. In this book, Dr. Pierce looks back on his life, and gives his view on issues and people associated with White Nationalism. Dr. Pierce did more for the WN movement in America over the last 25 or so years then any man not named David Duke. Even today, when I listen to the archives of his radio broadcasts, and hear that distincitve Hello that he started each broadcast with, I smile. Buy this book if you want a fair and balanced book about Dr. Pierce and White Nationalism.
AN EYE OPENER.......2003-11-20
I read this book over two years ago, and it remains one of my favorites.
Professor Robert Griffin does a great job and an invaluable service to the Late Dr. William Pierce by portraying him in an unbiased way, and without any kind of sarcastic arrogance which characterizes most other works on the topic of white racialism. Dr. William Pierce was not a violent fanatic nor evil racist nut who hid in the hills armed to the teeth with guns and missiles as the controlled media and certain jewish 'human rights' organizations want you to think: Dr. Pierce was a spiritual person who was not corrupted by the stale materialism and diversity of American society. He was incorruptible and actually lived by higher principles that do our present 'leaders', if you can call them that.
Dr. Pierce saw straight into the soul of Western civilization and realized it's successes, failures, potential, and the danger in which it is in today. He strived to reach as many Europeans with his message and inspired them to regain their pride, self-esteem and dignity by removing the blinders of apathy, ignorance and multiculturalism from their eyes and opened them to the naked truth of nature, history and the will to start on the upward path.
Dr. William Pierce's untimely death has been a very sad and shocking occurrence, but he has made us all proud white European men and women much more stronger, and his message will undoubtedly be carried on by those who have the strength, foresight and intelligence to listen. Without Dr. William Pierce, we would surely be in a much worse situation today.
All people of European ancestry should read this book and learn the ultimate truth that to be white and proud is natural, healthy and right, no matter what others say.

Good Guide to Sources.......2000-04-23
While the biography is short -- as are all the ones in Greenwood's series -- this is a good annotated guide to information on Paul Simon, with a focus on his work as a songwriter.
Money for nothing.......2000-03-22
In a nutshell this is a very expensive 11 page biography followd by almost 200 hundred pages of bibliography. The biography has nothing that is not well know to Simon's fans. The bibliography can be gotten for a lot less money with a good search engine. Even with a casual glance at the bibliography ommisions were apparent.
