I highly recommend both books for anyone delaing with divorce or helping a friend or loved-one through the process.


The Essential Guide to Upholstery

The Essential Guide to Upholstery
I received this book yesterday and cannot put it down. The pictures, drawings and advice are fantastic. I am very interested in upholstery projects for my home and am ready to move from a "beginning Intermediate" level to "Intermediate". This book is just what I needed for more guidance. I have an extensive collection of upholstery books, and except for "Simply Upholstery" and the "Singer Upholstery Basics" books, I have been mostly disappointed with the books I have received as they were not helpful or showed unrealistic projects. This book is like being in an upholstery class with a smart, interesting teacher. I hope Dorothy Gates writes more books on this subject. I would certainly buy it!!


Essentials of Athletic Training
Published in Hardcover by McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages (October, 1971)
Authors: Daniel D. Arnheim, William E. Prentice, and Kathleen Newton
Average review score:

The Bible for Athletic Trainers and Coaches...
As a coach, it's very important to know what to do in the event an athlete gets hurt. Since there aren't enough Trainers to go around, I decided to learn as much as I could about acute athletic care. Several Physical Therapists and Athletic Trainers recommended this book to me, and I must say, it's every bit as helpful as they said it would be. It gives step-by-step instructions, excellent diagrams, and great prevention tips since it is, technically, a textbook. The only thing more helpful than this book on the sidelines or in the dugouts is MAYBE an ice-pack. Every coach should read this book, study this book, and keep this book close by during practice and game-time. I highly recommend it.


Eve's Men
Published in Hardcover by Forge (April, 1998)
Author: Newton Thornburg
Average review score:

A different kind of thriller that is fascinating
Brian Poole is irate that a movie company has decided to film the life of his deceased, former girl friend, Kim Sanders, who died from an overdose. Seething about the movie, Miss Colorado, Brian destroys the entire set of a reconstructed Colorado town. Brian is arrested by the Colorado Springs police force.

Brian's current girl friend, Eve Sherman calls Brian's brother Charlie, who immediately flies from Chicago to Colorado to bail his sibling out of jail. However, Brian continues his criminal actions towards stopping the film from ever being made. Meanwhile, while trying to stop his brother from getting in any deeper, Charlie finds himself falling in love with Eve.

EVE'S MEN is a very frightening thriller because the novel feels so authentic. The characters seem real, even to the point that Brian constantly chumps the two people who care for him because they must believe they can help him overcome his need for revenge. Even thoughEve and Charlie know that Brian is losing his mind, they cannot stop themselves from playing the roles of suckers. Somehow, this turns Newton Thornburg's thriller into an awesome, realistic chiller.

Facing Black and Jew : Literature as Public Space in Twentieth-Century America
Published in Hardcover by Cambridge University Press (September, 1999)
Author: Adam Zachary Newton

Learning Experience
Not sure how many of you are familiar with the writings of Adam Zachary Newton, but for those who aren't, you should be. I have been anticipating this text ever since I heard (back in March) that it was to be published. A brilliantly educated lecturer and one of the smartest men you're ever likely to meet, Newton has again published a text (following the publication of his award-winning book, "Narrative Ethics") that confronts and educates the reader, this time comparing the writings of a selected number of black writers and the work of a number of Jewish ones on a one to one basis, pairing Ralph Ellison, Henry Roth, Philip Roth, David Bradley, Cynthia Ozick, Bernard Malamud, and others. Frankly, coming from a theater background, I must say that I particularly enjoyed the final chapter relating David Mamet's film "Homicide" to the O.J. Simpson trial. In a day where the O.J. trial has been looked at from more angles than the Hauptmann case, this offers a fresh and dramatic literazation of the event that is both interesting and incisive. Before I get off sounding like some sort of raving AZN fanboy, I will end this review by saying only that you should definitely read the book for yourself. The ideas in this text transcend the normal academic outpouring from the universities and are well-suited for a mainstream thinking audience.
