Turner Books

As a progressive activist, I immensley enjoyed this anthology of movers and shakers in the GLBT movement. Introspective, energetic and visionary, they remind both allies and GLBT people although much has been accomplished, there is no shortage of public policy issues to focus their work on. AIDS, securuty clearances, lesbian feminism and dual identity conflicts of GLBT people of color are issues that will not go away until we deal with them substantively.

While I was famillar with some names... I was introduced to several unsuing heroes and role models. My only regret is that the book tended to gloss over instaces where the movement was not doing as well as it could have been. I believe this would have made some of the anthology more coherent. There are gaps which take away from the individual policy papers.

Even if I understood the National Gay Task Force eventually bevame the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force to disadvow sexism, other readers might not be aware of the reason for the name change. More information on the Romer vs. Evans decision (which invalidated Colorado's virulently homophobic Amendment Two), a real victory at a time when the Supreme Court has no shortage of conservatives. The authors simply assume that people know the important bits and pieces that give the riveting stories meaning and importance. Given their backgrounds, this tendency is both troubling and unusual, little is accomplished by preaching to the choir

Still, the format of this book means it can also be used as a college textbook on GLBT issues and theory. Thus it is important to consider the book's above mentioned flaws as a fair description rather than a deliberate pan. Flaws and all, this book is recomended for anybody who wants to know what the "newest" civil rights movement has and is doing to improve American society.

THANK YOU KNUT WALF-WE DO LOVE YOUR SENSE OF HUMOUR KEEP IT UP OR=KIP

My son and I loved this book. It is a touching story of a young couple, with a great take home message at the end. After reading it I was able to tell my son about my great grandfather living in a dugout when he came over from Germany.

Have a nephew who is a big Cowboys and fun and this is something he really enjoys each day.

High quality calendar. Vivid and colorful pictures. I bought it as a gift for a co-worker and they were pleased.

First of all, the writing here is spectacular . . . and funny. The Dan Turner stories were clearly written to be over the top "Her gat spat liquid death . . . " or "Her gams could halt an out-of-control city bus". The writing is crisp, punchy and very colorful (and sometimes hyperbolic). Nothing here is meant to be taken seriously and it's a lot of fun to read. On a more historical note, these stories were part of the on-going evolution of the hard-boiled detective genre which started earlier in the 1930s with the novels of Dashiell Hammett and James M. Cain which would later be taken over my Mickey Spillane. It's an era that's gone now and can only be taken seriously for its escapist value. But, oh, what writing!

The Darkness is an excellent series. This book comprises of the entirety of Volume 1 issues 1-40. A very good deal for the 60$ especially if you dont have any other darkness comics, making it about 1.50 per issue.

The Darkness is about a mafia hit man Jackie Estacado who inherited the ancient power of the Darkness which allows him to do almost anything he wants under cover of darkness.

The art is amazing in most issues of the Darkness. Garth Ennis writes the first 15 or so issues, and he is an excellent comic writer.

i wish i owned this. because im still missing #19-#39 so its almost worth it for me to just get the individual comics at this point, but for someone who doesnt have that many yet its an excellent deal.

Such a shame what happened, this book is touching, well written and very interesting.

The latest Stan Turner thriller revolves around a client accused of killing an IRS agent - involving Stan in the middle of a fight between the FBI and a citizen's committee - and his best friend's disappearance. With more than a single crime in his pot, Stan must uncover many hidden truths in this fast-paced adventure.

Nikki Turner I really enjoy reading your books. This book is so good. I hope there's going to be a sequel. If you're into urban fiction/Love. GET THIS BOOK!!!! I'd give it more stars if I could.
