Frank Cho is a great comic artist. His style juxtaposes the detail and realism of the old adventure comic strips with the simpler lines of the best funnies. His strips contain some raw humor inspired by the physical violence in Warner Bros. cartoons, pop culture references, and too many years in a fraternity. Watch out for the great dinosaurs and cameos by Tarzan and Prince Valium.

Even if you have Eden, his first book published by Image, you will also want to pick up this volume for its fantastic Sunday color strips. These strips must have been re-colored and look great.

This book brought everything that David Robbins has to offer. You get action, laughs, and even a little bit of romance coming from an unsuspecting source ( Houston Run/Lynx ). Both Houston run and Liberty run give you yours of reading excitement.

THIS BOOK MORE THAN ANY OTHER BOOK I'VE READ ABOUT LIBERTY GIVES A CLEAR DEFINITION TO WHAT LIBERTY ACCUALLY MEANS. USING EASY TO UNDERSTAND EXAMPLES THE AUTHOR (F.A. HARPER) SHOWS THE THREATS TO LIBERTY,BOTH ECONOMIC AND PERSONAL, AND OFFERS SOLUTIONS TO REVERSING THE TRENDS. THIS BOOK WAS PUBLISHED IN 1949 AND ALTHOUGH THE AUTHOR NEVER MENTIONS FDR OR THE NEW DEAL, THIS READER DEFINITELY GOT THE IMPRESSION THAT THIS WAS A LIBERTARIAN RESPONSE TO THE SOCIALISM AND COLLECTIVISM THAT WAS PREVALENT AT THE TIME OF PUBLICATION. AFTER READING IT I WAS ASTONISHED TO LEARN THAT THE AUTHOR DR. FLOYD A.HARPER WASNT WIDELY KNOWN IN THE LIBERTARIAN WORLD. O WELL I HOPE HE CATCHES ON.

Berlin's essays provide some of the most original arguments for the priority of individual liberty, and particularly so-called negative rights, those that give us the right to be left alone. His writing is at once lucid and colorful. An essential volume for those interested in freedom.

Most British divers are familiar with the Liberty Ship "James Eagan Layne" which sank in Whitesand Bay near Plymouth on 21 March 1945 after having been torpedoed by U-1195. Whilst most people are able to recognise a tanker or vehicle ferry, for many the term Liberty Ship means nothing. Well not any more. This is a fascinating book written by a Master Mariner with considerable experience of ships and the sea who has produced an excellent piece of work of equal interest to amateur and professional ship historians alike.

Measuring 9½" x 6½", the book provides over 500 pages of mostly text but with a selection of 26 historic photographs and a most informative exploded-view of how the prefabricated Liberty Ship was designed and built. Everything and anything you ever wanted to know about the Liberty Ship from conception to watery grave or scrap-yard is here.

It was also most interesting to note that the shipbuilding firm of J. L. Thompson of Sunderland provided 3 prototype vessels in 1935, 1939 and 1941 - from which the Liberty Ship eventually evolved. This company also made the Thistlegorm (launched in 1941) and it is fascinating to see the resemblance between that ship and those early prototypes. Altogether, excellent reference material for the serious shipwreck diver.

I am very impressed with the work that's been done here. This is a mammoth undertaking -- I can think thoughts, but the author has gathered his thoughts into a coherent piece, supported by thoughts from others, and made it fairly easy reading. That, in itself, is worth recognition and accolade.

But the content of the ideas is also tremendous (not sure which adjective really fits here -- "tremendous" isn't quite it, but close). I have always felt stupid about playing the "mating games," but never identified why ... I just knew I didn't like making believe that I was the "lead" (as in ballroom dancing) and the lady was the "follow" -- that I had some innate ability to make better decisions or choices or whatever than the lady I am with. I understand, now, why and what type of relationship I would really like to have: one of equals ... and that doesn't come from playing a game of unequals from the start.

The ideas are extremely well developed and Mr. Rieben has considered many sides, not just the point he is trying to make. The author has done a good thing here. I've talked about this book to several of my friends and suggested that they read it.

"Licentious Liberty' in a Brazilian Gold-Mining Region : Slavery, Gender, and Social Control in Eighteenth-Century Sabara, Minas Gerais" is a wonderful examination of the interactions between masters and slaves in the gold-mining areas in eighteenth-century Brazil. This masterpiece shows how the gender relations between female slaves and their white masters have often subverted the values of a hypocritical and conservative society, allowing the changing of status of black women, among which the most famous one was certainly Chica da Silva, a former slave who began to live among the members of the limited gold-mining elite after becoming the concubine of a portuguese official. This book is speacially advisable for those interested in slavery and general sociology.

Maldwyn Jones' book manages to pack almost 400 years of American history in to just over 600 pages. His account is concisely written and provides for an easy read, encompassing a sweeping range of topics - politics, economics, social conditions, religion, and culture. Beginning from the earliest settlements from the Old World and tracing the evolution of a unique and diversified nation, Jones' organization is infallible, his attention to detail superb, and his conclusions sound. It is a very fair representation of American History, presenting all the relevant arguments to any issue and is a book where one can open to any page and become instantly enveloped. It is simply one of the best books on the topic I have ever read.

I liked the book because I like to think about the things in the book. I like the Angel talk and Angel thoughts. I like how the archangel helps the little angel to help the person in need of help. The little angels are each different in their own way. I only have 3 books but I for one love the books.

This handsome volume, attractive in paper, typeface, and binding, is the first of twenty volumes of the not-quite-complete writings of James Buchanan (relatively ephemeral pieces will be left out). Apart from this volume and a final one containing an index to the series and a curriculum vitae, the collection gathers Buchanan's work by topics. This introductory volume contains a wide-ranging sample of thirty-one articles on the job and responsibilities of economists, public choice, public finance, constitutionalism, and ethics. The editors have added a fourteen-page foreword and reprinted the 1986 press release of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announcing the award of the Nobel prize to Buchanan...

One quibble may convey a suggestion for future volumes in this series. The editors fail to adjust Buchanan's cross-references. Even when, as often occurs, Buchanan cites another article of his that happens to be reprinted in the current volume, the editors fail to tell the reader that he has the cited work already in his hands.

All in all, though, the project of Buchanan's collected works is off to a magnificent start. Economists will have convenient and pleasant access to enduringly fruitful teachings.
