Chris Rock Books

This book is the funniest book i have ever read, when i was reading it, i could never put it down. His hilarious comic reviews on life bring the book together. I recommend this book to anyone who loves chris rock, and whoever wants a good read.

Best book of its kind about the duo. Great review of their career and music in a compact format.

This book gives a description of numerous rock & gem types, along with characteristics, pictures, geography, etc. Good book for someone just starting out in the world of rocks. However, it is not helpful for someone with prior knowledge. It is a beginners level book and a really good one at that.

My granddaughter just turned 13 and it is one of the books we gave her.
She loves reading and enjoyes these mysteries. I am happy that they are clean and wholesome.

I came across National Public Radio many years ago just tooling around the FM dial. I found "Fresh Air with Terry Gross" and was hooked by the interview at the time, with Clint Eastwood. The questions were ones I would want to ask him. I was intrigued by this voice I have never heard before on radio, sophisticated, smart, smooth, curious, and down to earth. No commercial radio hype, none of the exaggeration for a big news story, not a celebrity exclusive. I've since heard this audio compilation of the the comedians interviewed on "Fresh Air laughs" and loved it. This isn't just a side splitting laugh a minute tape, it also brings you a realization that these are real people. The Bill Murray interview is so unlike his performer identity we all know that you have to listen to it carefully, because Terry brings out his humanity with her interview style. We get to listen to conversation that has substance and not just style. This is a tape you can sink your teeth into, it's that thick.

It's all in the book an amazing journey through the hardtimes of the Fugees, the base of Hip Hop.

Greenwood's ENCYCLOPEDIA OF ROCK HISTORY by Lisa Scrivani-Tidd provides specialty college-level music collections with a powerful 6-volume history covering the extent of rock music from its roots in the 1950s to modern times. This isn't just an A-Z listing, but a gathering of full articles on rock music history covering emerging new music trends and traditions, key musicians who influenced major changes, music label history, music legends and more. From the economic and political influences on the business of rock music to the key players in front of and behind the scenes, GREENWOOD ENCYCLOPEDIA OF ROCK HISTORY is not to be missed: no other reference on the topic comes even close to the detailed articles it provides.

this (and its companion book for arches to the south) is an excellent guide to arches outside of arches national park. i will say, you really need not only a four-wheel drive vehicle to get to most of these arches but you need one with high clearance and a short wheelbase (i think that is the right way to say it). i have a toyota 4-runner and i wasn't really able to get to many of these either in or out of the park because my car was too long, and i probably needed knobbier tires. there are jeep rental places in moab--it would probably be a good idea to just rent one, as i will do next time, to get out to see these amazing works of nature. another thing to get is a really good map once you get there, because the ones reproduced are really difficult to read. in all other respects it is a great guide!

Wonderful. Stunning...Any fan of industrial music or the beauty that is Neubauten will love this book. Lots of great period photos that i've never seen before and some truly 'inventive' discussions and interviews concerning the music and philosophy of Neubauten. Both in German and English (although if you read German you'll get much more than out of the book than if you don't) A hard first time read, or by someone who's not a long time fan of the band. Gets deep into their philosophy and is well worth the money.

The release of this book coincided with a big promotional push by Jimi's heirs and some people use this as proof that it's all drivel written by those trying to once again capitalize on the Hendrix legacy. Wait a minute - I thought all of the music, books, memorabelia, etc., were being sold to cash in on Jimi? Actually, this is a nice package, although it's no competition for the very best books out there, either from the perspective of photography or history, but it was lovingly assembled and lavishly decorated. Certainly, it is worthwhile for the Hendrix collector, especially considering how inexpensively it can be had as a used purchase from amazon or on ebay.
