Love Kills: The Stalking of Diane Newton King
Published in Paperback by Avon (July, 1994)
Author: Andy Hoffman
Average review score:

True Crime in Cereal City
Popular Battle Creek Michigan Morning TV Anchor Woman Diane Newton King is being stalked, and then is shot dead in her own driveway while her young children remain in the Jeep. Is this a crazed "fan?" Or someone closer?

Author Andy Hoffman's telling of this tragedy has some flaws in the Frosted Flakes. Why is the son of Bank President Willis and wife Marjorie Lundeen named Brad King? A Native American family even considering allowing burial of a beloved daughter in Fort Custer National Cemetery?

Still, this is an interesting look at real-life criminal investigation, prosecution, and media run amuck Reviewed by TundraVision.


Mother Camp: Female Impersonators in America
Published in Paperback by University of Chicago Press (May, 1979)
Author: Esther Newton
Average review score:

An Excellent Snapshot
Newton's research in Mother Camp is now dated, however its lasting value is in the rich snapshot that she has captured of gay street and performace life pre-liberation and feminist movements. For those who were there, much of Newton's work will ring true and for those who weren't, her book measures the distance between where gay liberation was and where it is today. The reader may wish for a more poignant feminist or cultural analysis of Newton's subject but when one considers the date of the research and writing (1965-69), Newton's analysis actually displays a surprisingly astute and diasporic handling of the sex/gender system. Newton steers clear of the exceptional epi-centers of gay activity (New York, San Fran) and in doing so manages to sieze upon a drag sensibility that may be more familiar to the majority of middle American gays and lesbians. In my estimation, this book makes a perfect if not necessary historical compliment to studies that include films such as Paris is Burning or other works on drag, camp, performance, or early gay culture.

The Newton Boys: Portrait of an Outlaw Gang
Published in Paperback by State House Pr (February, 1994)
Authors: Willis Newton, Joe Newton, and Claude Stanush
Average review score:

Katie's Review of "The Newton Boys"
I thouroughly enjoyed reading this book. In it it gave a fascinating first hand view into how the Newton brothers entered the life of bank and train robbers. The story was written based on a number of interviews with Willis and Joe Newton. The brothers discussed their feelings on how they were viewed, and how when there was ever any robbery, the Newton brothers were the number one suspects. I also enjoyed the humor in which the brothers were able to look back on thier escapades and run ins with the law. Some of the best parts of the book, I think, were when the Newtons described how they outsmarted the law, and escaped from prisons numerous times. The decriptions in the book provided vivid detail into life during the turn of the century. Each brother described in the book had very different interests and tastes, from Willis, a strong headed boy who was smart and determined,to Jess, the lazier of the brothers. In all, this book provided me with new insight into an era that has long since passed, and into the lives of criminals. I thought this book was an excellent read.


Newton to Einstein: The Trail of Light : An Excursion to the Wave-Particle Duality and the Special Theory of Relativity
Published in Paperback by Cambridge University Press (September, 2001)
Author: Ralph Baierlein
Average review score:

Good book on modern physics for the layman
This book is clear and very interesting. It teaches the general idea of light and modern physics. It can be too simplistic at times for technically minded people.

Stress Buster
An ordinary day until suddenly, three polar bears start to chase my friend and I. We run and run. We cross water to escape. We think all is well. Then here they are surrounding us!

Programming for the Newton: Using Macintosh
Published in Paperback by Morgan Kaufmann (August, 1996)
Authors: Julie McKeehan and Neil Rhodes
Average review score:

The definitive introduction to programming for Newton 2.0.
The first edition of this book led those of us new to Newtonscript by the hand through a sample project. This second edition uses the project approach but is structured in a far more reference-manual manner, emphasizing the concepts over the process.

This edition is Newton 2.0 ONLY, so it won't suit programmers who want to write code for the MessagePad 110, 100, OMP, or ExpertPad. For that, you'll want to track down a copy of the first edition of this book.

The included CD contains a demo of the Newton Toolkit (NTK) programming environment, but there is a newer version of this software on Apple's web site. Note that the demo version creates Newton packages which can't be redistributed, so you'll eventually need to purchase a full copy of NTK.

This book isn't a replacement for the Newton Toolkit documentation, and it doesn't cover much in terms of user interface principles. If you have some background in object oriented programming, this book will put you on the path to writing your own Newtonscript code.


The Rationality of Science
Published in Paperback by Routledge Kegan & Paul (June, 1991)
Author: William H. Newton-Smith
Average review score:

A great second textbook in Philosophy of Science
This is a book to read once you already know a little about the classics of the field, or have perhaps read an introductory survey. Newton-Smith presents a clear and calm defense of scientific realism, based on the failings of the obvious rivals. It is well-written and lively; the target audience won't be scared by the mild spattering of formal logic.

Cute book & stuffed giraffe
This book is a child's storybook plus an attached house for a stuffed giraffe. On the first page there is a door for the giraffe to come out and play. The giraffe is adorable and the story is fun, too!
