This is the most comprhensive book out on Cindy Sherman. Rosalind E. Krauss is a very insightful and educated author. Definately a must have for any Cindy Sherman fanatic!

This eye-witness account of US troop atrocities on civilians can no longer be hidden. Scholars may have had an excuse for ignoring it, but now that excuse is removed by this easily available, beautifully produced university press edition. The majority of the so-called historians who have attributed the burning of Columbia SC to accident, alcohol, burning cotton, etc., are now shown to be the apologist propagandists for a sanitized American history that they most surely are. In contrast to the eye-witness account, their work now appears laughable. How can we take these "historians" seriously in anything else they do? Truth has a way of getting outside its bottle, and like the genie, it can't be put back. Congratulations to the editor and press for a job well done.

These comics are enjoyed by our entire family. Our 10 year old son can't seem to put them down as the illustrations and content are clever and entertaining. We love how Bently Boyd brings history to life in a fun, creative and easy reading style. After my son is finished reading he can't wait to share what he read with the entire family. We have acquired the entire set of Chester Comix with Content Series and love them all. These make a GREAT gift for anyone of any age or even for teachers as they are an awesome learning tool. This is a definate must have for the entire family. ENJOY!

Incredible and intriguing story! What an adventure, yet one that no one would want to experience!

Dr. Sherman Smith unravels a story like a rope made up of 1,001 strings, with shades mirroring Scheherazade's tails of The Arabian Nights. And yet, this true story he coats neither with candy nor castor oil, but with candor. As only one with a pastorate background could do, Dr. Smith weaves into the facts the resulting emotions and spiritual battles anyone in these circumstances would experience. It all starts with an innocent business endeavor as Sonny Glenn, a broker/financial advisor to churches and church groups, does a seminar at a church attended by a pastor from Clearfield, Pennsylvania. This was nothing out of the ordinary, to provide counsel to church leaders and laity through his seminars on prudent Biblical financial principles. But it was Jessie Bell on the phone as he was back in his California office who wanted to invest $20 million that resulted from his seminar. So the story begins.

The deal of a lifetime was not consummated in a reasonable amount of time. Rather, it would twist and turn, unraveling over time and yet more time. Gifts were promised to churches, trusts set up to administer donations to missions - all good things. But along the way of constant air travel and time in Pennsylvania would come the reviving of an old mall with jobs promised to people she had touched as a result of the anticipated windfall. And then there were Corvettes ordered, houses negotiated, leadership positions promised, asserted betrayals among long time corporate friends, a Gulf Stream V, real estate in Florida, security forces and private investigators - how can this continue?! And yet it does, without sleep for the reader. Sonny would even make sure he was not exposed to any kind of inappropriate conduct, or even the perception of it. Oh, and then there was the visit with Roy Rogers himself! Imagine. What a childhood dream for those of us that might remember Roy, Dale, Trigger, and the rest of the crew singing "Happy Trails." Another thread unravels, and Sonny, as would we, feels the presence of evil all around.

Two things Sonny learns. When you're completely down and hopeless, friends - true friends, will never judge and leave you, rather encourage and stand beside you. Second, keep talking with God. A true story as a must read, even though it really does seem like something from The Twilight Zone.

While the Sherman tank's reputation was tarnished somewhat by its lackluster performance in the campaigns of 1944-45, when its gun and armor protection had been outclassed, it was a battle winner when it was first introduced in North Africa. Dennis Oliver has offered an excellent close-up of the M4A1 and M4A2 Sherman tanks used by British forces at the crucial battle of El Alamein. Includes photographs, scale drawings and marking schemes.
Best source for this booklet is the publisher. As of October, 2007, it is still available directly from Mushroom Model Publications.

This book is an absolute must for any record collector with an interest in Victor records. Though small in size, no space is wasted and no expense spared to give the Victor aficionado clear and precise photographs - many in color, to illustrate the various label types. This enables any collector, from the neophyte to the more knowledgeable, to place a reasonable issue date on the record he has in his hand - not merely when it was recorded.

Charts and graphs included provide, as accurately as currently possible, chronological placement of various records according to size, price class, and label type. The book places a large emphasis on the Red Seal (celebrity classical) label type, but the popular categories are not overlooked. The text is clear, concise, and quite readable, especially when one considers the huge amount of numerical information presented.

A most interesting feature is a central section featuring Victor's most "important" classical artists of the period, taking the opportunity to use tenor Enrico Caruso (arguably Victor's greatest-ever recording artist) as an example to show every label variety presented. Since his recordings have been readily available in virtually every recording format since 1902, this is a most appropriate example. A useful annotated bibliography concludes the book.

In conclusion, no serious collector of 78-rpm records should be without this book. It has already reached somewhat of a cult status and deserves it, and your purchase of this book will ensure that Sherman, Moran, and Nauck continue the excellent research they have done in the field of vintage recordings. If you don't buy it here, buy it somewhere!

This collection of writings by the founder and editor of IKON fuses art and politics to give an eyewitness account of the controversies of the last three decades over feminist, political, and literary issues as only a poet and political activist totally engaged in the events could perceive and write about them. THE COLOR OF THE HEART looks back at struggle and change and offers not only a look at the past but keeps the struggle alive by looking towards the future.

"THE COLOR OF THE HEART is an exhilarating document that charts high points in the interesting life of anti-imperialist artist Susan Sherman." --The Guardian

"This is a sensitive, thoughtful collection from a woman who learned long ago that 'to retain freshness of experience' one must be 'willing to face the strangeness and horror of it.'" --Publishers Weekly

This is a great book, written and conceived by a wonderful woman. I have known Vivian my whole life. Her husband and my late father were the best of friends. My dad was white, and Bob is black. Because of them, I did not learn racism, but humanism. They are the greatest people God has created.
