The Original "Love Man".......2002-10-05
OTIS!.......2002-03-27
However, it would have been really good to hear what Otis Redding's Stax family (1963 - 1967) really had to say about him in this book when they were working closely behind him in the studio and also to mention what do they think about him after 35yrs since his death...That part should have been added on to this book..Otis has a Stax's family too...
I dont think its fair to have that old little bits and bits statements that was pick up from another story from a book or magazine so long ago...that I what notice in this book called Otis!..
This book was clearly written on one side of the story. I am sure that there are many untold stories told about Otis Redding, in the studio that the stax family can really tell us today.
For example, of many...I would like to know from Issac Hayes side of the story, his memory of singing in the background song in Otis Redding's song and why it happened.. The song was called "Fa-Fa-Fa Sad Song"...stories like that should have been brought more.
No matter what is said, Otis Redding will live on forever.....

Andrea Goldthwaite Manufacturer: Word Association Publishers ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 1891231731 |
Book Description
This creative non-fictional accounting of a child's life between 1941 and 1946 offers the reader an inside look at a unique American family. The story begins with President Roosevelt's speech about the attack on Pearl Harbor and ends after the family's relatives return home as released Japanese Prisoners' of War.

After retirement from the Windham, NH School System, the author spent two and a half years rewriting and editing her work. Finally, her editor, Mr. Jay Schofield of Martha's Vineyard, returned her completed manuscript to her on September 8, 2001. After the horrendous attack on September 11, Andrea wrote dozens of letters to New York editors, but to no avail.The author believes both American school children and American adults would benefit from learning about the past, as it is their lifeline to their futures. This unique story will entertain, inform, and educate those who are young at heart.

Incident at San Augustine Springs (Frontier Forts and People)
Richard Wadsworth Manufacturer: Yucca Tree Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 1881325563 |
Book Description
On July 27, 1861, Major Isaac Lynde abandoned Fort Fillmore, marched his troops to San Augustine Springs and there surrendered without a fight. For over 140 years Lynde has borne the names of coward, traitor, doddering old fool, etc. Could an officer, a West Point graduate, with thirty-four years of honorable service on the frontier, be the person historical accounts describe? Isaac Lynde was never tried for his alleged crimes, or even given a hearing - President Abraham Lincoln and Congress ended Lynde's career without allowing him to speak. Was Isaac Lynde a traitor, or the perfect scapegoat for the battering the Federal armies were taking in the early days of the Civil War?Customer Reviews:

From Marx to Mises: Post-Capitalist Society and the Challenge of Economic Calculation

Summary: Mises was right.......2003-12-25
The ignorance of algorithms.......2002-10-24
If you are less convinced that you are living in the best of all possible worlds, in which efficiency and welfare are maximized, and instead are looking for alternatives, then this book is like taking a cold shower: it'll make you think about the problems involved in constructing alternatives.
Essentially, the book argues that it is undersirable to plan economic organization because planning is inherently inefficient compared to the operation of "free markets". From a scientific perspective the main problem with this book is methodology.
The author attempts to reason about complex systems, such as market organizations, planned economies, information flow from consumers to producers, coordination problems in systems with huge numbers of degrees of freedom, and so on, with very poor tools: essentially analytical philosophy and qualitative arguments. The sophisticated reader will be surprised to find very little mathematics or analysis of computational models. This is an acute lack because the calculation debate is essentially a debate about the theoretical and practical feasibility of classes of algorithms for allocating resources. The author doesn't have the intellectual tools to get to grips with the issues. For example, the actual planning algorithms that are critiqued are not specified in sufficient detail to implement. The author derives definitive conclusions from the analysis of partially and vaguely specified objects.
So for sceptics of the free market: read this critically, but take with a huge pinch of salt: remember the author is an ex-Marxist and revealed between the cracks of the often rambling prose is the desire to justify a wholesale rejection of past commitments. This motivation does not make for good science.
Miscalculations and botched economies.......2002-01-16
You Won't Be Disappointed.......2000-10-02
The trouble with most Marxists and Misesians is that they usually misconstrue the other side. Steele doesn't. He's one of the few writers who really understands where both sides are coming from.
The result is a fascinating and pentrating analysis of the single most important debate of the last 200 years----one which actually came close to destroying Western civilization as we know it.
Steele cuts through layers of irrelevancies to arrive at the crux of the controversy, and no one who reads this book will go away without a much deeper understanding of politics, economics, and intellectual history. (Example: A powerful analysis of the very idea of "property," whether public or private.) There is no thinking person that the insights of this book will not affect.

HERE WE GO AGAIN: My Life In Television (A LISA DREW BOOK)
Betty White Manufacturer: Scribner ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 068480042X |
Book Description
America's queen of television shares her fascinating life story!"Here is Betty White -- a woman who has been on television forever!" is generally how Betty White is introduced. And quite accurately, too, since she first appeared in 1949 when both she and television were rank beginners.
Since then, she has had one of the most amazing careers in TV, winning five Emmy awards, creating such unforgettable characters as Sue Ann Nivens and Rose Nylund, and appearing in a host of television classics from 1952's Life with Elizabeth to The Mary Tyler Moore Show and The Golden Girls.
Here We Go Again gives an overview of television's golden era, packed full of wonderful anecdotes about the many famous personalities with whom Betty has worked. It also gives a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at television over five decades, from her first show, Hollywood on Television which ran live five and a half hours a day six days a week (33 hours per week!), to Betty's current television work. In addition, she talks about her personal life -- how her hectic career caused strain in her relationships and how she finally found happiness with her third husband, the late talk show host Allen Ludden.
As warm and funny as its author, Here We Go Again will thrill her many fans and delight all of those who are interested in the history of America's most popular form of entertainment.
