Dr. Aldama's critical and biographical introduction to the work and life of the late Arturo Islas (author of The Rain God, Migrant Souls, and La Mollie and the King of Tears) beautifully contours the nuances of all of this Chicano author's unpublished poetry, short stories, and scholarly essays. Culled from archives at Stanford University, the many works collected and edited offer a complex view of Arturo Islas who began to explore in fiction and poetry issues of sexual (gay) and racial (Chicano) identity in his early 20s (the late 1950s) while taking classes with Hortense Calisher, Wallace Stegner, and Yvor Winters at Stanford. For any scholar serious about Chicano/a literary studies--or any reader interested in Chicano/a letters generally--this is a must read.

Although Aruba is a small island, it's nice to have a high quality,indestructable map that provides the detail that is usually absent from most guidebooks.

If you're a "map weenie", this is a great one!

I went to several bookstores to find a hard cover picture book on Aruba but could not find what I wanted. When I searched Amazon.com and came across the Aruba, Bonaire And Curacao hard cover book I knew it was exactly what I was looking for. I am using this as a guest sign in book for my wedding. I did not want the typical sign your name type wedding book. This book will allow guests to write in memorable words for my fiance and I to look back on for years to come.

My 4yr old absolutely loves it! And this audio book has the "epilogue" scene at the end of the movie which is not found in the other "At World's End" books. So I am very happy with this purchase.

Arancibia shares reflections, thoughts and emotions in this impressive collection of poems. I couldn't put it down and it pulled at my heart as I toured the pages of this excellent book.

As long as you don't get sucked into believing the hype that this is the only navigation/weather resource you will need, this book is an excellent buy. You definitely need a Pilot Chart and this is not the only one available, but you can't go wrong with it.

I enjoyed this book tremendously and I anxiously await more books from Mr. Baldeosingh.

The Avant-Garde And Geopolitics In Latin America is a close study of cannonical Latin American avant-garde texts of the 1920s and 1930s, including novels, travel writing, journalism, and poetry, revealing them as seeds of modern Western culture and precursors of global culture. Author Fernando J. Rosenberg (asst. professor, Dept. of Spanish and Portuguese, Yale University) scrutinizes the long-term global and political implications of Latin American literature, supporting his conclusions with extensive notes and references. Especially recommended for Latin American literature and history students, The Avant-Garde And Geopolitics In Latin America an advanced discourse of cultural reverberations that far transcend their decade, and even their century, of origin.

This is one of the best books about the Aztecs I have seen. Despite its price it offers great and beautiful color photographs as well as very interesting and well written essays. You will not regret it!!!

I bought this CD for my son who is autistic as a Christmas present. It was very entertaining and enjoyable for my son--it was good to hear him sit and laugh. The CD also taught some valuable life lessons as well. Bobby Norfolk is one of my favorite storytellers--I got to see him in person at the Timpanogos Storytelling Festival and I was thrilled to discover that he had recorded his stories on CD. He truly transports you to another world--the world of his imagination. I will definitely purchase more of his CDs. Listen to Bobby Norfolk for yourself and appreciate his talent and humor.
