Native Americans and Black Americans (Indians of North America (Chelsea House Publishers))
Published in Library Binding by Chelsea House Pub (Library) (April, 1997)
Authors: Kim Dramer and Frank W. Porter
Average review score:

Solid, lively basic introduction -- important reading!
This is a solid, basic introduction to a little-considered area of American history and contemporary life, the relationships among Native Americans and Black Americans. This is a solid piece of work, well researched and well written. Although the series is designed for younger readers, this work is intellectually respectable (and engaging) for adults interested in making an initial exploration of the topic. The author is breaking some relatively new ground in exploring the implications of race, color, and ethnicity (as well as social class) and the blending of races and ethnicities in contemporary culture. The format/design engages the eye, and the pictures are well-chosen and "worth a thousand words." I recommend it highly. (4 stars rather than five, only because it is a simple introduction, rather than a full-blown study.)

Aria da Capo?
Helton, cuyo nombre significa la diosa nordica del inferno (Hel-) y un pueblo (-ton), toca cinco harmonicas. Su cancion molesta a cada persona del pueblo del sur de Texas. Pero, lo importante: la gente aprende vivir con el sin molestacion. Su cancion ha cambiado; ahora la cancion es como la voz del viento. Mi prof me ha dicho que esta historia es como la "Aria da Capo" de Amy Lowell. Pues no conozco este poema. Hazme favor de escribirme de quien es esta Amy y que es la significancia de esta repeticion? Os recomiendo que compreis esta novelita. Y en seguida que me podreis ayudar a entender.


The Paper Bridge

Hungary: 10 years before the Iron Curtain folded
As a four-year old, Monica Halasz (now Porter) didn't remember much of her homeland after her family fled after the 1956 abortive revolution. Here, with only a month allotted, she manages to combine a travelogue with her own encounters with her relatives and family friends willing to meet with her. Others do not. You feel the tension living in a communist regime here, even one as relatively more open (1980) than others, and I wondered how much of her story she had to leave out for fear of offending those whose conversations she could not have retold at the time of her book.

She conveys her journey in a surprisingly well-written account that often relies upon analogy and metaphor. She builds into her visit an examination of the refugee and the stateless condition--why can some adapt and others never can, once removed from their place of birth, she asks herself and other Hungarians she knows from England, where she now lives after a New York childhood.

Worthwhile for its thoughtful and evocative analysis. A month usually gives little raw material for a sustained report, but combining her travel with her own recollections and other exile accounts, Porter constructs a non-sentimental, honest, and revealing picture that opens up herself as well as Hungary to the reader.


Papers of John D. Rockefeller, Sr

Interesting, Professional look at Standard Oil Tycoon
At a price of over $1,000, I had expected a very interesting look at one of my faviorite industrialist genuises. J.D. Rockefeller Sr. is one of the most interesting Captians of Industry both personally and professionally I have seen in my life. These published papers of his were a deeper insight into his mind and how it worked. This most fascinating man had class, style, intelligence, and logic. I can tell by these papers that he is not only consevative but also not, contratry to popular belief, an ultra malterialist. He beleived he needed to surround himself with such riches and luxuries to "meet the social image of a man of my stature". These papers are a must for any "fan" of John D. Rockefeller Sr., founder of the Standard Oil Trust and richest, in most all respectes, man of his time.


Parsnip and the Pink Blanket

Mother of 2 year old book lover
This book was a gift to my daughter from some UK relatives, and she has asked us to read it over and over again. She loves to lift the flaps to see the different animals in action.The only confusing thing for me is that all the animal friends help "Blanket" (the horse) find her lost "pink blanket", but my daughter doesn't seem to mind at all. It's a great lesson on how friends can chip in to help each other.


Patterns of Thought in Rimbaud and Mallarme (French Forum Monographs, 63)
Published in Paperback by French Forum Pub (July, 1986)
Author: John Porter Houston
Average review score:

Rimbaud and Mallarme finally elucidated
John Porter Houston strays from the usual in this wonderfully written book. Most other authors deal only with the poets lives and works in a trivial and banal manner, treating the poets as precocious and intoxicated. It is refreshing to finally find a book that reviews their legacies in terms of cultural and philosophical currents in a diverse and lucid manner. Included are reviews of selections of their work with the original french and the authors own intelligent translations. I highly recomend this book to any serious student of either Rimbaud or Mallarme as one of the few available which is both entertaining and thought provoking.


Political Philosophy: The Search for Humanity and Order
Published in Paperback by Prentice Hall (03 December, 1997)
Authors: Jene M. Porter and John Hallowell
Average review score:

Well-Rounded Political Theory through the Ages
A well-rounded book on political philosophy through the ages. It does a fairly good job of covering the classical tradition through modern times. It does a good job covering antiquity to the middle ages. My gripe is that the modern radicals get covered and their is virtually nothing from the American Founding Fathers or those who inspired the American Constitutional Republic (except John Locke.) Perhaps, something from Montesquieu and Madison could have been included.

It is used for various Political Theory classes. Incidentally, I've acquired a great deal of the writings in this book beforehand and probably never spent as much as this text costs. Also, the bulk of these writings are available in the public domain, which makes one wonder why it is so expensive. Typical of most textooks, it is ridiculously expensive like all textbooks from the Cali Textbook Cartel.


Popping the Question
Published in Mass Market Paperback by St. Martin's Press (September, 2002)
Author: Cheryl Anne Porter
Average review score:

romantic romp
In Baltimore, Chris Adams has second and third thoughts about using POPPING THE QUESTION to help him propose to his girlfriend Veronica Alexander. However, thinking four years of dating is enough, he finds the courage to enter the facility only to see chaos as four women seem to be wrestling with an overweight male. Company owner Dianna West explains that they are trying to help a client get off the floor because his knees gave out while practicing to propose.

Dianna knows not to get involved with a client, but finds she desires Chris. He feels the same way though he wonders why as he has a girlfriend. As fate seem to keep placing Dianna and Chris in the same environs such as a wacky restaurant scenario, both resists the temptation even if love seems the force that draws them together.

Though the use of fate is overdone (what are the odds of the same restaurant in a city as big as Baltimore is?), the audience will enjoy this romantic romp reminiscent of the screwball comedies of Hepburn in the 1930s. The story line amuses the reader through the antics of the secondary cast and the humorous bantering of the lead couple. Cheryl Anne Porter provides those fans of a sparkling jesting romance with a fun time.
