review to be completed after seeing boo

Gide's journal of his five year exodus through the exotic cultures of Tunis and Algiers at the turn of the 20th century can only be compared to the senuous language of JUSTINE, the first book of the classic Alexandria Quartet by Lawrence Durrell. This small, delightful book of 159 pages, unfolds to the world that underlies the North Africa today, a century later.
According to the translator,Gide,immediately after writing AMYNTAS, began writing CORYDON, viewed by many as his masterpiece, which dwelt on the place of homosexuality in society and on the nature of human sexuality itself.
Awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1947, Gide's notations are four separate texts documented by year and place. Translation from the original French is done by Richard Howard, a Pulitzer Prize winner and noted translator.

This book by Hildebrand is a little gem that I recently discovered in the course of looking up other information. At less than 100 pages, the book is easily overlooked on library shelves, but proves that great things come in small packages. The author presents a clear, concise, and practical exposition of how to analyze ordinal data, and what to do with the results. There is plenty of math for the mathematically inclined, but plenty of practical examples so that non-mathematical researchers can easily perform good analysis of ordinal data. Professional statisticians would, of course, prefer more technical detail, but for those of us "in the trenches" who need to know how to apply statistics, this text is invaluable. I liked the book so much, I bought a copy. What more can I say?

Dr. Howard Morphy's articles and books are consistently well researched and readable; Ancestral Connections is no exception. This book provides a fascinating and rewarding insight into thought system poorly understood by the average layperson. Although this book presupposes a bit of background knowledge of the social systems and cultures of Arnhem Land, a careful reading of this work will unveil a beautiful and intricate symbolic and artistic system, intimately binding the clans of the Yolngu people to their land and the great ancestral beings who created them. Numbering around 5,000 people organized into 40 clans, the Yolngu are one of the largest and most politically influential Aboriginal groups in Australia, and their social system and totemic organization is representative of many of the cultures of the Top End. Their are few detailed and anthropologically sound studies of Aboriginal thought accessible to the non-specialist; Ancestral Connections is highly recommended as it truly humanizes this poorly understood and complex society, so often subject to inaccurate characterization by the popular media and New Age movement. If you want to understand Aboriginal religion and its place in society, read this book...

This book is a valuable resource on the prehistory of Britain for teens and children in late childhood. Two scholars and an artist collaborated to produce a brief and very true view of a great deal of prehistory. The drawings of Marjorie Maitland decorate every page. They include artifacts and scenarios of daily life. There are basically two editions of 1969: the British by Baker, which is worth a little more, and the American by Praeger. The Praeger edition has light brown boards and gold lettering on the spine.

Python fans beware: this book will extremely tax your knowledge of everything Python and make you exclaim "my brain hurts!" Kim Howard Johnson masterfully displays both his love of the group's comedy and his knowledge of their work in this whimsical trivia compendium. Filled with fun facts and quirky quizzes, "Trivial" will make even the most devout Python follower feel like a novice. Think you know "Holy Grail" or the Dead parrot sketch like the back of your hand? Come and take the test....

This book is one of the most impressive pieces of work i have seen regarding this topic. Being one of the most comprehensive works I have read on the subject, I was thoroughly impressed by Browne's work. I look forward to reading more from this impressive writer in the future.

I loved this book because of the sluts. I know that it's lame of me to say that but I like sluts -- sluts of all types. Now do you pull them? If so, I have lots of pulliss for you. yee and three?

Yeah.

This is one of the greatest books for collectors--especially if you're into trains from pre-war through the 60's. Too bad it's out of print!!
