John Hughes Books

EXCELLENT FORMAT, SIMPLE TO UNDERSTAND, BASICS FOR A PULMONOLOGIST WHO IS TRYING TO REFRESH LUNG PHYSIOLOGY.

"Ever since his brother John became Prime Minister in 1990 Terry Major-Ball has been pestered by journalists wanting to know about his family. How did his father, born and brought up in America, come to be a circus clown, a trapeze artist, a variety show actor, and finally a manufacturer of garden gnomes? How did the family cope with father too old to work and mother looking after him, when they lived in two rooms in Brixton while John was still at school?

Eleven years older than John, Terry played a crucial role in keeping the business and the family together at a difficult time. He knows what they went through as no one else does, and he understands the effect this had on John's career and on his own. Whenever he has been asked about his family by newspapers he has found they have taken his remarks out of context to suit the mood of a hostile press.

So he resolved to write his own story, and here it is -- candid, funny, sad, eccentric, honest, always compassionate and unfailingly affectionate. It is never grey."

A book by Thomas Hughes, a historian and theologian, about the masculinity of Jesus. It is an argument against the "feminization" and pacifist view of Jesus, in art and theology, and argues for a more masculine understanding of Jesus and his message.

This may be of interest to the theologian, historian, student, pastor, group leader... especially in light of the recent "Wild at Heart" movement.

An interesting old book. It gets lots of attention on my bookshelf - due to its age, it's unique binding, and the unusual topic. I'm still not sure what I think of it, but it provides an interesting perspective.

This is a large size, heavy book, with great color photos and explanations. I am a collector of Pre Columbian art and artifacts, and this has interesting annotations and terrific color plates.

This book is very hard to find and was hoping I could get it in time for a class. Arrived sooner than expected, and wonderful condition. Bet others wish they'd ordered it from you instead of other sellers!

The definitive book for literary criticism fans of Langston Hughes, one of the country's most important and gifted writers.

For every chapter of information their are examples and drawings. This book has taught me a great deal about Intranetware. While studying for my CNE 4.11 95% of the material in the study guide was already touched in this book. This book can get you prepared to start studying for the cne 4.11 with a better understanding of the information.

John C. Hughes is one of the most well-respected publishers in the history of journalism.

He started out his career as a paper carrier more than 50 years ago. His story is one of myths -- rising from a boy to a cub reporter to the publisher of the newspaper which covers Pacific and Grays Harbor counties in Washington state.

He's seen it all -- and helped coin a couple phrases. In 1983 the Washington Public Power Supply System attempted to build two nuclear reactors on Fuller Hill in Satsop, Wash. Hughes famously nicknamed the agency WHOOPS -- a term that caught on.

The book famously tells that tale, as well as how Simpsons creator Matt Groening probably based the Simpsons' nuclear reactors on the Satsop plant. (A revelation for any Simpsons fan!)

Chalk full of unsolved crimes and popular tales -- the bank robbery in Oakville, Wash., the very last of its kind on horseback is one of many.

The book contains mysteries, too. Who killed Laura Law in 1940? It's a question Hughes tries to answer. Law was a well-respecter mother. She allegedly did no harm. The 65-year-old murder still remains unsolved to this day.

Hughes also famously recounts the tale of Nirvana's rise to Aberdeen and how the throngs of fans continue to flock to the logging town looking for the bridge Cobain allegedly slept under, the house he lived in and how Aberdeen has yet to come to grips with the tourism appeal of the untapped Cobain fans.

Hughes has won more than 50 SPJ awards, a C.B. Blethen Memorial Award for investigative reporting, and he was recently honored with the June Anderson Almquist Award for Distinguished Service to Journalism from the Western Washington Chapter of SPJ.

But probably more important than anything else in his career, Hughes has been a guiding light for generations of young reporters.

His book is a brilliant testimony to the history of his hometown.

Aberdeen, Grays Harbor and all of Washington state should be proud.

Hughes's close contact with Eisenhower allowed him to produce a terrific book. I think this memoir gives the reader a real feeling for Eisenhower's personality. Hughes does a good job at giving you the nuances of Ike: his facial expressions, his philosophies, his leadership style. I also liked how Hughes told of the development of some of Eisenhower's most important speeches. All said, I enjoyed this book immensely and would recommend it to anyone interested in this great and good man.

THE PUPPET MASTERS: SPIES, TRAITORS AND THE REAL FORCES BEHIND WORLD EVENTS covers intelligence around the world and its effect on major events in world history, from Cold War spying operations to the effects of intelligence on statesmen, politicians, and agencies of military and government alike. It draws strong connections between world history and legacies left by intelligence operations during war and peacetime alike, providing a fine survey of underlying rationale, historical events, and more. A lively read for both serious military history buffs and general-interest readers alike.
