Caution! Once you start reading this book do not plan on putting it down!! The first page of the book grabs you and will not let you go until the book is finished. The issues brought out in this book are powerful. After reading the book, I question what really goes on behind the scenes of big college athletics with all of the money involved. Also, this book gives you a quick behind the scenes history lesson about what really happened with Castro and the FBI. Finally, just to keep this review short and sweet, I think some of the legal questions brought out in this book are going to be tomorrow's headlines in national newspapers and magazines. Thus, our lawmakers are going to have to make some changes and reform....

This book covers issues # 10, 11, 12, 13 of the Kiss Psycho Circus comic book otherwise known as the 'Destroyer' arc.

Holguin, Medina & Conrad create a taut, fast moving story arc that was actually painful to wait for month after month as the comic books came out. Now you can grab it in this form and read it in its entirety. You do not need to be a fan of the band in order to enjoy this book at all. It is a fantastic horror/dark fantasy story with *excellent* art. Try it out and see how the Four-Who-Are-One deal with the Nightmare King.

So come celebrate the life of Langston Hughes on what would have been his one hundredth birthday... "Sometimes life ain't/always a hoot/or a holler// But if you manage/to give it/a bother// Even if you miss/your mother/or don't like your father// There'll be better days/up ahead// A whole mess of/happenin' days/up ahead// You can sit and sulk/suck your teeth/and sigh// Or love and laugh/and live life/by and by"

This book presents a fabulous bilingual presentation of a Mexican child's experience in school in the United States. The poems tell of both the kindnesses and cruelties that the Mexican immigrant child faces in school. The translations are well done, and the poems can be read singly or as a narrative. I highly recommend this book as a staple of every bilingual classroom.

This book is an eloquent, well put together collage of Black America today. The anthology leads you into deep, riveting poetry, stories, art and excerpts depicting the role of young Black America today, and what we stand on the brink of doing tomorrow. I think everyone should buy this book!

It is a very practical book for planners in this specific subject, in which I found there is very little information available. I like the accuracy of the designing approach used by the author and the easy reading text. The worldwide approach to present the case studies helps a lot to understand how difficult it is to deal with small-scale fisheries issues. In summary, I found this book very useful and well illustrated. I would like to suggest the publishers to prepare a revised version in order to benefit from the experiences gained during the last years in this exciting field of work.

Esta es una noevla muy buena. Una gran descripción de la Habana actual, por medio de una prostituta que dice todo lo que siente. Muy buen uso de la musica y los ritmos cubanos para subrayar cosas y eventos del libro. Una prosa admirable y envolvente, que nos lleva de vuelta a La Habana, a sus barrios a sus olores y a sus mujeres incitantes. Mejor que Trilogía Sucia de La Habana y que las novelas de Zoe Valdes

John Medina, Ph.D. not only authored this detailed, concise book about Alzheimer's Disease, but also drew the terrific graphics describing the various aspects of the disease.

Medina spends quite a bit of time explaining the "biology of Alzheimer's Disease" which can get quite technical. But, if you are interested in how the brain and nerve cells are affected, as well as other physical aspects of the disease, you will love these sections. His graphics are superb. My other favorite chapters deal with understanding difficult behavior, suggesting helpful, personal interventions, and offering practical advice for helping with the activities of daily living for a person with Alzheimer's Disease.

In short, the book is wonderfully designed, clearly detailed, and touchingly compassionate.

Tony Medina brings to light and to surface many of the realities of homelessness we find hard to face and accept. A reader may find much of the poetry to be disturbingly real! What's amazing is how the author helps us recognize and empathize with those less fortunate than we. Although the doorway to homelessness is frequently concealed or 'sugar-coated', this book gives us the chance to step into the world of homelessness where we learn of the many obstacles and misfortunes that different people experience as they dwell in the streets. We're forced to look at this national crisis, to address it, and to think of solutions to alleviate it.

Also, Tony Medina presents the experiences of the typical homeless person in a different format - a different style. His poetry is neither average nor conventional. Instead, it's direct and truthful! This book contrasts many of the other poetry collections we're accustomed to having.

Tony Medina illustrates the unfortunate battle that many people face, homelessness. Throughout his book of poetry, Sermons from the Smell of a Carcass Condemned to Begging, he shows you many of the tribulations that people face everyday. It really showed me how fortunate and lucky I am, more importantly it showed me what I take for granted. His poetry, far from traditional, expresses feelings, thoughts, and actions that one would experience as a homeless person. It is amazing how Tony Medina's use of language and style get across the feeling and emotion of a homeless person. I know it is not possible to know what a homeless person encounters daily, however,Tony Medina does a wonderful job showing you various situations and feelings of a homeless person throughout his poetry. I would definitely recommend this book of poetry!

Tony Medina did an excellent job of writing his book of poems,"Sermons from the smell of a carcass condemned to begging". He really captured the feeling of being homeless, you'd almost think he himself was actually homeless. Many of us do not realize how fortunate we are and many of us take things we have for granted. I was captivated when reading Tony Medina's poems, probably because they felt so real. The unusual technique he used when writing these poems really grabbed my attention.
