Collectively compiled and edited by Shaun L. Gabbidon, Helen Taylor Greene, and Evernetta D. Young, African American Classics In Criminology & Criminal Justice is a selection of twenty-three crucial articles focused upon criminology and criminal justice from a distinctively African-American perspective. The rather impressive list of contributors include such outstanding scholars as W.E.B. Du Bois, Lee Brown, Elijah Anderson. Eruditely written, persuasively worded, and weathering the test of time, these writings here assembled are a very strongly recommended supplement to both Black Studies and Criminal Justice reference collections and reading lists.

Jeffrey Greene's images, many of New Haven, Connecticut, are haunting. He shows you a new way of seeing scenes we've often only glimpsed on the evening news.

Once I was an undergrad in archaeology at University of Newcastle upon Tyne, and of course, this book was at the top of the must-read book list handed by Dr Kevin Greene himself. As a lecturer, he was always extremely approacheable and helpful, and so was his book! If you are an undergraduate student in archaeology at university, or simply interested in the subject, this book is a must read; it will get you started with the subject, and get you going a loooong way!

A staggering achievement. After viewing the exhibition at the San Francisco MoMA, I became very interested in this subject. I've found it to be an amazing introduction into the world of Art/Architecture for those whose interest lies within the graphic arts. Thoroughly enjoyable, highly enlightening. Highest Recommendation

This book is the funniest in our book collection. I've owned my copy for over 30 years. My wife and I have read it over and over again and we still laugh out loud--we know all the punch lines by heart.

Mike Green has a self-deprecating British sense of humor, and he paints a hilarious picture of a wacky boat trip on inland narrow rivers. In one week, they encounter (or, more accurately, cause) every marine disaster known, from Insanity of Ship's Master and Explosion of Vessel, to Death at Sea, as well as some previously unknown, such as Going Aground on a Bungalow. Anyone who has ever sailed will be able to relate to the experiences described--knots that come untied in the middle of the night; knots that can't be untied when they need to be; skippers shouting desperately at the crew in the face of an impending collision. . . you get the picture.

This book was written in the 1950's, but the sailing experiences are timeless.

John Biggers came to artistic maturity in an academic setting far from the art centers of New York. He was repulsed by the New York art scene that had so summarily dismissed black art when he had participated in a MOMA black student art exhibit. Perhaps his avoidance of the centers of art commerce were as responsible for the late acceptance of his genius as was the segregationist mindset in the United States during Biggers's early career. As well as producing important paintings, drawings, and sculpture, Biggers is one of this country's most important muralists, creating more than twenty major murals in fifty years. His life has been dramatic in both content and context. Wardlaw draws a clear portrait of African-American life in the black section of a sharply segregated Gastonia, North Carolina, where Biggers grew up in the 1930s, and the rich family and community life of rural black America of the time. The other essays, written by noted scholars, trace the history of Biggers's artistic career through a careful study and analysis of his body of work.

With more than 50 women missing from Vancouver, you'd think there would be a lot of books and writings on this unbelievable story. However, Trevor Greene appears to be the only one with guts to tackle this horrific story.

Reminiscent of the Green River killings, but more prolific, these missing women are out there somewhere. Trevor does a great job of keeping objective as he talks about a tradegy that is beyond most of our understanding.

I bought this book for two baptisms, then went back and got one for our family. We love the bright pictures. It is a great introduction to God for young children.

I am a 3. grade teacher and when I was reading this book to my class, they all were fascinated by it. Benjamin Franklin was no longer a "stranger", he became alive with this book - he became somebody you know and understand a little bit better with every page. The illustrations are great and brought up many questions from my students.

I've turned to this ole' reliable much in the twenty some years I've had it.

It's delightful in its approach, chapters by flavor, beginning with almond to yeast, and everything in between.

For example, a chapter on coffee: from which I've gotten one of my favorite veal dishes for special occasions (due to expense of veal roasts these days) Veau A' La Normande. From the "dill" category, one that always brings accolades from the diners, "Pelmeny with Sauce Kiev" a Russian dish with the most wonderful sauce.

Find this book, you'll grow to love it. From basic to skilled, this has it all. Great intros and fine details on prep and service ideas.
