Great Book, With A Few Omissions.......2005-08-13

CITY SMART: PORTLAND is a great guide to the Portland, OR, metro area, with lengthy discussions on all the culture, recreation, dining, shopping, and other stuff you'll need to know while visiting there. However, the radio station listing comes up very short, failing to include rock stations KUFO, KRVO, KINK, and KGON. Other than that, though, this book is wonderful, so don't pass it up.

Best information beyond a vacation.......2003-01-26

When you browse through the US Travel books for something on Oregon or Portland, this is the one book that you can find that goes beyond the cool places, the neat restaurants and the best deals in hotels. It's comprehensive in terms of including information that a person considering the move to the city will find extremely useful! Thanks, City Smart!

An excellent book!.......2000-07-25

I loved it. It was funny and witty and interesting. For the person moving to Portland, this book is for you. It outlines the areas where one should and should not live. It give detailed and interesting reviews of everything from children's parks to gay bars. It illustrated the history of Portland perfectly and was a hoot to boot. Five stars!

Book Description

Gamelan: The Traditional Sounds of Indonesia is an introduction to the familiar music from Southeast Asia's largest countryÂ—both as sound and cultural phenomenon. An archipelago of 17,000 islands, Indonesia is a melting pot of Hindu, Buddhist, Islamic, Portuguese, Dutch, and British influences. Despite this diversity, it has forged a national culture, one in which music plays a significant role. Gamelan music, in particular, teaches us much about Indonesian values and modern-day life. Gamelan provides an introduction to present-day Javanese, Balinese, Cirebonese, and Sundanese gamelan (gong chime orchestra) music through ethnic, social, cultural, and global perspectives. Deemphasizing potentially intimidating technical discussions of scales and models, this unique work focuses on the approaches to composing and playing gamelan music and how they relate to cultural and personal values.

This book is designed for courses specifically on Southeast Asian music and the gamelan tradition in Java and Bali. It provides a detailed overview of musical traditions in the region with attention to the salient aspects of the music's cultural context. The book includes maps, pedagogy and an audio CD with musical examples.

Very nice historical presentation and artwork, too........1999-04-07

I have had the pleasure of reading this book, and, afterwards, having the author sign my book. It is a very nice book. The historical events have been excellently presented along with several original artworks done by the aurhor. It is highly readable, and could be done within an hour.

This is a good book to generate ideas for your garden. There are a few color photos, and a lot of colored drawings and sketches of garden plans. They give several angles of view for one plan. Each design comes with a planting list. I think it is a nice addition to the gardening library.

Customer Reviews:

Call Me Lumpy, I'M Full of Myself.......2007-08-30

I was very disappointed in this book, I expected it to cover his Leave it to Beaver days it does touch upon them very lightly at the beginning of the book but in a very superficial and unsatisfying manner. He basically declares who was "cool" and who wasn't on the show, big deal. Mostly he talks about his endless womanizing how he laid over a 1000 women, again superficially, how smart he is, how popular he is, what a great poker player he is, what a great stock picker he is, basically this is a self indulgent brag piece for Frank Bank written with the skill of a high school turn paper "what I did last summer". In my book this one would successfully compete for the title of one of the worst books of all times.

Could have been better.......2005-09-23

I was a little let down bt this book.
I bought the book expecting to read a lot about life on the leave it to beaver show.
but there is very little about beaver in this book. I think Frank could have made this book more interesting if he would of written more about the show and cast. I am now looking forward to reading Jerry Mathers book maybe I will read a little more on the show.

Good for the Lump.......2004-08-12

I enjoyed this light-hearted look at the difficulties of being a star on TV, in the good old days when the classic NIck at Nite sitcoms were being produced--which were also the bad old days when talented young actors were barred from getting residuals or misused in minor parts like Frank Bank. Well, he was living proof of the old adage that there are no small parts, just small actors, and he was never small.

An appealing potato-like boy, he wasn't really bad looking, he just paled next to the boy god Tony Dow, like the moon disappearing when the sun comes out. I'm not surprised he had so much luck with the ladies--just surprised he saw fit to reveal it all in this book which should be rated NC-17. And good for him for staying financially solvent when so many of his ilk went bankrupt. He had a head on his shoulders as well as a grin on his goofy face, Long live the "Lump."

I feel disloyal by writing this.......2004-03-13

I am not just a very big fan of Leave it to Beaver, but I am also interested in 1950's culture and nostalgia. I did like the first few chapters. Fred Bank (so I'm not calling him Lumpy) writes about some great LTB behind the scenes shenanigans that made what I paid for the book worthwhile. Chapter three is the beginning of the rest of the book, mostly about his sexual exploits and how he started every cool trend in California during his day. That's why I am only giving it two stars-- I can only recommend the beginning of the book.

I worried about writing this. I wondered, what if "Lumpy" reads this review?? I'm such a LTB fan!!! But then I realized after reading his book that his ego isn't in danger of being injured. So, I would recommend buying this book for the first two chapters only.

Now, if only Tony Dow would write HIS book! :)

Beaver-Lovers Beware.......2002-12-03

I only gave this one star because [Amazon.com's] format doesn't allow for zero stars. Frank Bank is like one of those irritating guys you meet at airport bars when your flight is delayed: on his sixth Scotch-rocks, won't shut up. Every topic that comes up he was there, he had the first one, everybody copied him, he had the best, the biggest, the coolest. What's saddest about this exercise in mind-numbing ego is that Bank apparently doesn't realize that the only thing interesting about him is his involvement in "Leave it to Beaver," to which he devotes very few pages and about which he gives absolutely no insight. He doesn't even get the details right in what little he says about the series: Wally and the Beaver did not go apologize to Mr. Rutherford after putting barrel hoops in his driveway, Ward (in a scene that takes place off camera) worked things out with Rutherford, which is the whole point of the show (since it was Ward who gave them the barrel hoop idea in the first place). But of course, accuracy is not anything Bank cares about, what matters to him is that this was the first episode in which Frank Bank appeared (one wonders if he ever bothered to read the rest of the script). Although Bank had a co-writer, Gib Twyman, "an award winning former sportswriter," this is possibly the worst written book I've ever read. There are no paragraphs, just short, repetitive, jargon-filled sentences (fills more pages that way, I guess). Jerry Mathers' book ("And Jerry Mathers as the Beaver") may not have been any work of art, but at least he respected what brought readers to the book. Bank does not. It's no surprise when, in a late chapter, he reveals that he's the President of the alumni organization of his high school social club, The Knights (the coolest guys on campus, of course). Bank -- emotionally and perceptually -- is still in high school. Don't waste your time or money on this flatulent, boring piece of self-inflation.
