Incisivie Work on Homophobia.......2000-09-26

David Plummer's superb exploration of homophobia, male sexuality and identity is based on impressive and meticulous research, and is of critical importance to current and future examinations of male sexuality and the impact of homophobia on us all. This book focuses on the origins of homophobia and penetrates and illuminates much of the mystery of homophobia in a sensitive and intelligent fashion. Further, it provides a fascinating insight into male intimacy, relationships and the place of childhood and adolence in the development of male sexual identity and awareness. It is required reading for anyone working in the field and perhaps more importantly for anyone interested in the human condition.

Calling all teachers.......2000-06-06

Dr Plummer, in this erudite work, has combined painstaking research with very vivid case material. The result is a very readable and disturbing analysis of the genesis and consequences of prejudice based on sexuality in the modern Australian context. The results and conclusions provide imperatives for further action by governments, legislatures and educational institutions. I recommend its wide dissemination in public libraries and institutions and incorporation in broader curriculum development in the school system.

Simply 18th century coins of the world for the world !.......2006-07-23

Certainly this is the book for 18th century coins, unless you are mainly interested in one country like the UK or France -- in that case you would find more information more attractively laid out, along with other centuries, elsewhere, usually more cheaply too. But for its coverage of the world, including hugely complicated countries like Gemany, Italy and India, it is unbeatable. This 3rd edition is an improvement over earlier editions, because more pictures (especially of the smaller coins) and more obscurities have been included.

For users in countries which do not speak English, the conversions such as VF = TTB = BB =MBC are very useful !
The book is not difficult for foreigners to use.

As my collection slowly moves back in time.......2005-12-25

I need a guide so I just do not blindly pay big bucks for cute pictures. There are a lot of good guides and some more specific on particular eras and locations such as Westphalia. But as you do a coin search you are bound to run across something you are not familiar with and need a guide. This guide is a great place to start; it is easy to navigate and gives cursory information on particular locations and times surrounding the coin's production.

Keeping in mind that this is just a guide, there are holes and the coins are not displayed in color. On the other hand the coins shown are in actual size; size is hard to translate form internet pictures.

With all the electronic references today it is nice to have something tactile, static and transportable. This book meet al those needs.

The best guide to world gold coins after year 1600.......2005-03-29

This is the best guide to world gold coins dated
after 1600. Before 1600, look for Friedberg's
"Gold Coins of the World" which has gold ancient coins
and gold coins up to year 1600.

Maximum amount of info for so little cost!.......2001-06-14

This book is very well thought out and put together.All the periphial sections,such as HOW TO USE THIS CATALOG,COUNTRY INDEX, FOREIGN EXCHANGE TABLE,MINT INDEX,THE COIN DENOMINATION SECTION, THE INTERNATIONAL NUMERAL SYSTEMS,THE COIN SIZE CHART,HEJIRA DATE CHART,AND THE 18TH CENTURY LEGENDS,all are informative and very helpfull.The small tidbit of information they throw in at the begining of each nation section is just enough history to make it interesting.The photos for the most part are very good and usualy show enough detail so as to make a positive determination. Throughout the book there are numerous charts for indivdual piece dating and mint mark identification.With all of this in one book, this book is surprisingly easy to use and understand.

The best coins catalog of the 18th Century.......2000-09-19

This book is a guide excellent for the coins collector of the 18th century's coins. Well, if you are interested in World Coins that it was be mint between 1701 and 1800, to then buy a Krause WC book, especially, this book, "Standard Catalog of World Coins : Eighteenth Century, 1701-1800 (2nd Ed)". They do it differently every couple of years. Before then they used to have one massive volume covering from about 1700 to present. Later you'll have to buy both the 1801-1900 and then the 1900 to present volumes and it's a real pain to start following a listing in a country and then have to dig out the other volume when you pass 1899. Also you'll probably need the 1600-1700. So you will have a complete numismatic guide.

When it comes to miniatures, kids and grownups have very different tastes. Kids are unlikely to relate to the elaborate Victorian highboy and delicate crocheted tablecloth in Grandma's dollhouse, but they'll delight in the itty-bitty accessories that fill this clever book. A yogurt lid, cardboard jewelry box, and lollipop sticks become a bed; a mini loaf pan, clip-on earring backs, and crumbled Styrofoam make a bubble bath in a claw-foot tub; and a vending-machine prize capsule, a pizza-box lid support, and a bit of screen become an ingenious barbecue grill, complete with wafting smoke (a wisp of cotton) and grilling hamburgers (dried lentils). Excellent directions with step-by-step drawings on gatefold pages make everything easy; good color photos show off the finished project. Most items require only basic craft supplies and throwaway materials, and most can be handled almost entirely by older kids, as long as they have a reasonable amount of patience; younger ones will naturally need more supervision. Very occasionally a grownup's help is definitely required (ironing, cutting screen); these steps are clearly marked for adult involvement.

Now, what's a girl to do with all this cool little stuff? She can create wonderful miniature tableaus around her bedroom, or she can, of course, outfit a dollhouse. Or she can simply turn to the back of the book, where a fold-out section turns into a stand-up room, ready to be filled with her own tiny treasures. --Amy Handy

A Real Gem of a Little Book.......2004-05-08

The name of this book is "Tiny Treasures" and that's just what this book is, a tiny treasure. Tiny because it's, well it's tiny. A treasure, because it has literally occupied hours of my darling's time. Some people think it's easier with two children, others think it's twice the work. I am in the others category, so when I saw how they took to this neat little book after their dad brought it home, I was thrilled.

This book will walk your little girl right through dozens of projects. Yes, I must say, you are going to have to help, maybe not when they get older, but I had to help mine make most of the projects and I can't remember having so much fun with my girls. They have learned so many useful things because of this book and we've had dozens up very interesting conversations as I explained about the things we where were making.

If you have a girl child somewhere between three and thirty-three, then I believe this is a book for you. It's full of projects a girl and her mom can do together. Not only do my girls love this book, but I do too.

This is absolutely the most precious book. All the craft ideas use items that are easy to find. And the projects are not only easy to make, but a lot of fun. Definitely recommended.

Very creative.......2000-09-03

This book is very cute and creative. Now alot of girls are building little house for little toys like keychains and those kind of things. This book helps them make beds and and lamps etc. This shows them how.

Cute!.......2000-07-11

This is a cute book with stuff that you can make out of everyday stuff! I highly recommend it!

A barrel of tiny, tiny monkeys.......2000-05-09

A savvy friend gave this book to me after discovering that I'd found a Barbie Doll that looked like me (mortifyingly enough, in my mid-twenties). I opened this little hardcover/spiral combo and gasped aloud--exquisite little how-to's on oft-neglected areas of dollhouse fun...a Twister board, a Christmas Tree, flowerpots, wedding cake, croquet, team pennants... Some conceivably Barbie-sized, and many more traditionally dollhouse-sized, like the ballet tableau and the tiny bathtub scene. (There's definitely a scalable quality to the crafts, either way). Best yet, you're not paying $20 a pop in a toy store to have impersonal pink-&-purple logo-labelled uberfeminized fluff. Instead, the book gives you 21 little projects to create with common household/hobby items, and causes you to gaze speculatively at your old tinkertoys, wondering where your glue and paints are.

I highly recommend this for a creative doll-oriented child, and the whimsical adult (who knows better, but starts building a Barbie condo on the pantry shelves).

A MUST HAVE for women with epilepsy.......2003-05-08

This is a wonderful book. It is a series of different women's narrations of experiences with their epilepsy. The women range in age and interest, as well as to the severety with which their epilepsy has affected their lives. It felt great to put my own difficulties with this illness into context through hearing of other epileptic women.
This is a great book to read if you are an epileptic woman, or the husband/ partner/ boyfriend/ girlfriend friend or relative of one.
So far my father has read it, and I think it has given him a better starting off point with which to talk about my epilepsy with me. (I already have a line of friends and family waiting to read this book.)
The book's author Dr. Krishnamurthy, also heads a comprehensive epilepsy center through Boston's Beth Isreal Hospital. More information about the center is in the book and it is definatly worth investigating.

Excellent Book for Women with Epilepsy.......2000-08-29

As a 34 year old adult woman with epielpsy, I found this book to be a godsend. I was given this book by Dr. Schachter this year. In reading this book, I found that other women share my trials and triumphs with epilepsy. I recommend this book as well as the other "Brainstorms" books. This book should be read by all women with epilespy.

Excellent book........2000-08-15

As a 50 year old woman recently diagnosed with Complex Partial Seizures, this book has been a godsend. I actually thought I was losing my mind; but reading this has helped me to understand that I am not alone. I will now pass this book on to my children and family to read along with my friends so they will also understand just what I am going through. At last, I can have some peace of mind knowing that others have felt the same as I have..... Great book, very easy to read. All women diagnosed with epilepsy should read this book.

I'm not alone as an adult woman with epilepsy!.......2000-07-25

This is the first book I've found that shares experiences of adults with epilepsy. It's filled with a variety true stories of adults living with epilepsy. It's very engaging, and makes the reality of epilepsy not so painful and shameful. I found myself on many of the pages and I learned so much.

Book Description

A photographic and textual meditation on the life of a legend, reissued in special CD-size format.

Twenty years after Bob Marley's untimely death he remains a powerful worldwide presence. His music is at the top of the reggae charts, while his memory is indelibly etched in the minds of millions of his followers.

In the last two years of his life Marley underwent a dramatic change, becoming a gentler and more philosophical version of himself. He also met photographer Bruce Talamon, to whom he granted unprecedented access, both on the stage and off. The result is this remarkable visual record, which, paired with Roger Steffens's sensitive text tracing Marley's life from his youth in Jamaica to worldwide acceptance, captures (in the words of the late Timothy White's introduction) "the private warmth, social equanimity, zealous determination...and personal magnetism" of Bob Marley. 82 b/w photographs.

GOOD PICS.......2001-02-21

AUTHOR WAS OBVIOUSLY A CLOSE FRIEND OF BOB'S!

One Of My Favorite Biographies.......2000-06-20

One of the most surprising things you'd expect out of me, a 15 year old skate punk kid, is my collection of books. Big and small, short and long, all of my books are spanned on a shelf system that runs around my room. An those are just the good ones. The really good ones go in my night table drawer. This is one of them. Bob Marley is and was one of the most inflential people not only in my life, but in many others as well. This book not only shows that, it also shows the feels and vibes of Caribbean life during his time. It richly illustrates reggae in general, racial boundaries, and social problems of Marley's time. It is a vividly painted portrait of one of the greatest musicians of our time. With facts from his birth to his death and everything that happened to him in between, it helps you (the reader) to fully understand this great person. Bob Marley was truly influential, and this book illustrates that fact completely. You will read it over and over and over again.

ITS SO WONDERFULL READING THE BOOK.......1999-06-09

MY ONLY SUGGESTION IS THAT THOS BOOK REALLY POTRAYS CLEARLY THE LIFE OF A LEGEND.

BEST POINTS TO MY BROTHA.......1998-05-14

Pi up this book put the record on and get into this love and obscurity of "Slave Driver". Enjoy it.

You'll learn much from this book, especially how Max became .......2005-03-04

such a successful, caring and genuine person. I am 27 and was always interested in how Max Fisher rose from humble beginnings. This book definitely offers some nice insight into that.
For example, when Max didn't do the work he planned for the day, he would skip a meal.
Anyway, I am just sad I was never able to meet Max in person, because I know he would have been a wonderful mentor, who always had time to lend an ear and offer insight.
