This book is 100% great - it goes in to evey aspect you could want to know about the relationship of Law and medicine. Areen is a great author and continues to teach at Georgetown Law Center in D.C. - I have read this book twice - and it's just great.

Thirty years after its initial publication, Edward "Sandy" Ives' "Lawrence Doyle: the Farmer Poet of Prince Edward Island" remains the standard work on a folk poet whose writings were little known outside of his home region of eastern P.E.I. before this book's publication. Ives, who has also published standard works on two other Maritime Canadian folk poets (Larry Gorman of western P.E.I. and Joe Scott of New Brunswick) is recognized as the doyen of Eastern folklorists and his work here proves the point. Readers will quickly become embroiled in 19th P.E.I. political issues such as Confederationism, Reciprocity with the U.S.A. and out-migration in his treatment of Doyle's poem "Prince Edward Isle Adieu." The colour of local "Island" culture is richly revealed in his study of poems and songs addressed to the more limited audience of Eastern P.E.I. (such as "The Picnic at Groshaut" and "When Johnny Went Plowing for Kearnon"). More universal themes, such as the age-old conflict between the male and female of the species, are explored (delicately!) by Ives in his examination of "The Crooked Rib." It is Ives' almost unique ability to personalize this fascinating material, while giving it the thorough treatment of scientific historical/folkloric study, that sets him apart as a giant in his field. The book is emminently readable and will be a delight to the present generation who are 'meeting' Dr. Ives for the first time; be they folklorist, folk musicians, or home-sick Prince Edward Islanders.

What can you say to a young person who wants to write? How about "Give a Reading!" If City Lights did not exist, there would be one very small list of titles coming out of San Francisco. I don't say that everyone that has gone to North Beach has eventually become a published author...but...when you even have a movie; like that of the Keefer Sutherland & "Captain America" (Easy Rider )which ends ( "starts-off") at The CITY LIGHTS BOOKSTORE in San Francisco, and Dennis Hopper is the "Beat" who finally makes it; it is a tribute, and should inspire the younger artists to give it a try-and tell all the "wiser" Bohemians to give it "another try!" Read the stuff from the guy that supported all the other struggling voices, and breath easy.

I read this because of my great love of the movie. Interesting enough, this is the first time that the real life was far more interesting than the myth. What happened in Arabia might have been his coup de grace of achievements, but hardly the only aspect that makes him a ledgend. He was an archeologist, thinker, writer, humanitarian, culturalist, adventurist, and only a military genious by circumstance. This book makes it all clear and vivid.

I have read biographies before, but none that held on to my imagination so tightly while still using the historical records. I am only sorry that it has the unfortunate sub-title as authorized biography because many who think it will be a dry "whitewashed" examination of his life will miss a wonderful book. I can't heap praise on this book, and the life of T.E. Lawrence, enough. There might be books with far different and valid interpretations, but hardly as fun and interesting to read. The size of the book at nearly a thousand pages is worth every bit of paper printed on it. I guess I should congradulate the author for a fine presentation of a wonderful character.

This book is the best deer hunting book in print for the Northeast still hunter. Written in the 40's, not much has changed. Big bucks still live the way they always have in these woods and the hunting tatics have not changed.

If you are a tree stand hunter hunting in farmland or small tracts, this is not the book for you.

If you hunt in the big woods, this is an excellent resource.

i bought this book, having a little knowledge on lawrence weiner. i found it to be very well written and covering alot of his artistic life. i recommend it to anyone who values comceptual and thought provoking art.

Just hold this book in your hands and you can feel the dedication and energy that went into preserving the history of the Lawrence Police force. Full of pictorials of officers past and present, you can see the changes in the uniforms, equipment and in the city in which these Heros Wearing Blue have dedicated there lives to. I would recommend this book to anyone that has a sense of patriotisim as much as this author has.

I was very impressed by this book. All of my accounting friends and I agree this is probably the best "accounting book" we have ever read-especially for actual accountants.

I have some questions that I'd very much like to ask Mr. Greene concerning learning disabilities. I would appreciate any help anyone can offer in locating Mr. Greene. Thank you.

This is an excellent book for members of the fire service and for individuals interested in the law as it pertains to today's fire service. It is informative and easy for the law layman to read. It describes the law and provides relevant and up to date examples of the concept presented. This book is a definite must for fire personnel.
