Straight Rebecca lives with her lesbian mum and mum's girlfriend, Mica, an outspoken advocate for homosexual rights. The Pride Pack help Rebecca free her "other mother" when Mica is kidnapped by a homophobic group out to silence her championship of AIDS education in schools. A less self-conscious book than "Who Framed Lorenzo Garcia" (the first in the Pride Pack series) and more lesbian focused.

This book opened my eyes to a different way of interpreting scripture, espescally the 'final days'. the return of the Beggar King, whom we call Jesus Christ, is difficult to understand, but by moving it to another world where things are just 'different', it made it easier to understand when i was younger, and now i enjoy this book for the story as well as the analogy.

I give this book 5 stars because it is well written, as Poe said, each word is to give meaning to the overall 'effect' being created by a work. this book does that. The characters may be flat, but they seem real because they seem so familiar.

A definate read, and a great overall series.

Hamilton is one of the greatest minds concerning the subject of media politics that the nation has seen in recent years. His book Channeling Violence is a think piece that concerns violence in the media by comparing the epidemic to that of pollution. From the first words I was blown away with the ideas and vernacular that Hamilton uses, he definately has mastered the craft of writing.

This is a tremendous book - lighthearted,witty, entertaining - you can read it straight through or dip in and out by the bedside. Christine Hamilton has an easy way with words - and she knows what makes great women tick.

Buy it - Read It!!

An essential book for every American both young or old, male or female, Democrat or Republican. A delightful discovery on the need of God and guns (or perhaps swords) in the United States and the intolerance of a government in charge of all but answerable to noone. An undeniably perfect fit for todays culture.

Discover your roots from the men that gave their lives for the signing of the Constitution; true heroes. Their resolve was unquestionable and the love for country without reproach.

They brought us so far. We've walked away. Read it and weep. BK

Book Review: By Dr A.K. Banerjee, Consultant Radiologist, Birmingham Heartlands Hospital

Rad Magazine May 2000 "Admirable reference on this ubiquitous disease is recommended reading"

Tuberculosis is a disease as old as civilisation itself. The disease has been subject to much investigation and numerous monographs and articles have been written about tuberculosis over the years. Most of the writing has naturally concentrated on the epidermiology and diagnostic features of the disease as well as, of course, its treatment. The radiology literature has also been voluminous on the subject of tuberculosis, especially so regarding the respiratory manifestations of the disease.

This current volume, however, concentrates on the non-pulmonary aspects of tuberculosis with an emphasis on the diagnostic imaging aspects of this disease.

The book is divided into sections dealing with intracranial tuberculosis, tuberculosis of the bones and joints, tuberculosis of the gastrointestinal system and the genito-urinary tract. There is a section on extra-pulmonary tuberculosis seen in acquired immuno-deficiency syndrome. In addition, there is a section on tuberculosis in the paediatric age group.

The author has amassed a wealth of clinical material and acknowledges the help of doctors in Saudi Arabia and other hospitals from where much of the clinical material has been obtained. The images are of good quality and the chapters are extensively referenced. It is a delight to read the text and the comprehensive reference list makes this an excellent reference guide for the radiologists who encounter this subject.

Nearly all the aspects of non-pulmonary tuberculosis are covered in quite extensive depth and I have found this book a valuable read. I cannot praise this volume highly enough. The author has set out to increase the awareness of the many clinical patterns of non-pulmonary tuberculosis and has succeeded admirably in this task. It is a statuary reminder that the only thing to expect in tuberculosis is the unexpected and this is magnificently illustrated in this monograph.

In my clinical radiological practice in Birmingham, I am often reminded of the protean manifestations of this fairly ubiquitous disease. I would recommend all radiology trainees and consultant radiologists read this textbook. Dr Francis McGuinness and his colleagues should be congratulated on this brilliant addition to radiological literature.

It took me a long time to get started on this book, but once I did, I couldn't stop. Written in the late seventies, "Coming Out" remains timeless. The lives of Roger and Michael wind in and out of the lives of a variety of people in every class and background and deals with feelings and attitudes that are as real today as they were back then. This book is out of print, but if you find a copy used, snatch it up!

"The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Opera" definitely needs to be back in print. Compiled by Harold Rosenthal and John Warrack, there are over 3,000 entries covering pretty much exactly what you would want to find in such a volume: composers, singers, conductors, librettists, synopses, details of first performances, characters in operas, the first lines of famous arias, technical terms, and the history of opera in countries around the globe. You will also find a bibliography, a list of abbreviations and a key to vocal compasses. This is a comprehensive little book and its compact size makes it perfect to keep near your opera CDs for handy reference to look up everything from Aachen, a town in northwestern Germany with a small opera house with a high reputation as the cradle of many distinguished artists, to Zurich's Stadttheater, first opened in 1833. Rosnethal had been the official archivist at Covent Garden and an editor of "Opera" magazine, while Warrack worked in various opera companies as an orchestral player and was the music critic of the "Sunday Telegraph" for a decade. I have been using this book for over twenty years and the best thing I can say about it is that even when working at the computer, I turn to this reference guide before I search the internet for anything having to do with opera.

Adam Hamilton is my pastor and I had the privilege of hearing his sermon series on controversial issues. Through all of his study and research for the sermons, he created this book. Each of the seven chapters covers one issue. They include the following: The Separation of Church and State, Creation and Evolution in the Public Schools, The Death Penalty, Euthanasia, Prayer in Public Schools, Abortion, and Homosexuality. In each chapter, Adam presents the most common and convincing arguments for both sides of an issue. Then he gives his conclusions and his personal stance on the issue. Although I would characterize Adam as a moderate, you'll find his various conclusions not representing liberalism or conservatism, but his search for the truth in Christianity.

I highly recommend this book to any law or business student who is trying to figure out the complicated web of business entities - corporations, LLC's, partnerships, etc. This book also stands alone as a guide to anyone not taking a course. I recommend it to anyone starting a company or becoming a partner or member of a business entity. It could save you thousands of dollars down the road if you know your rights and risks involved.
