This book sees the happenings on the ship through the eyes of Fletcher Christian. It even suggests a homosexual relationship was indeed occuring between he and Captain Bligh. I loved seeing the mutiny through his eyes instead of through Bligh's or a fictional midshipman, and it was so good I read it all in an entire night. This is a must-read for every single Bountyphile out there! I believed wholeheartedly that the book hits Fletcher Christian's true character dead on, and several times I could hardly believe he hadn't written it. A very, very, intriguing book, and it's worth trying to find. You'll never see the mutiny more justified than how it is portrayed by Mr. Miller.

This centennial edition map Mt. Ranier National Park has been meticulously hand detailed and has won a prestigious map makers award. A Big and Beautiful wall piece.

Stanley Hastings hates pain, is often scared and doesn't particularly want to be a real detective. Unfortunately, people in need of help keep drawing him into their problems. After carpool mom, Pamela Berringer, comes to him for his help to get out of a prostitution ring, Stanley finds that he can't turn her down. When her pimp is murdered, Stanley must prove to the police that he and his client is innocent. This is a clever mystery with a likable but reluctant hero. If you like to read a series in order, start with Detective.

I've never met Professor Stanley Cavell, and though I've emailed him he has obviously been too busy to respond. Nevertheless, in my view, his books will be read long after many philosophers of the twentieth century are buried and forgotten. The reason can be summed up in a single word: insight. Rarely has there been a more perspicuous observer of motion pictures than Professor Cavell. To read his commentary on movies is to enhance one's movie-viewing experience. He sees things that no one else sees, he sees relations that are missed by others. My enjoyment of films has been substantially augmented by my reading of Professor Cavell's essays. He has opened a new dimension for me. I am less impressed by his infatuation with performatives in his book "Must We Mean What We Say?" but, to the extent that performatives opened for him a door to performances, it was an intellectual journey well worth undertaking. We are all his beneficiaries and all in his eternal debt.

This is mostly poetry, and I loved it all. Everyone should read this book!

I found myself thumbing through this book...not because I was smitten by 'all things train' but because I was researching my great uncle, John Barnes. What started as a query about his political activies (appointed by fightin' Bob La Follette to serve on Wisconsin's 1st Railroad Commission and later elected to the State Supreme Court) became an investigation into the organization of railroad commissions, the men (always men) who served on them and who ultimately drove the commission's engine toward the future. I was thoroughly impressed by the research done by Mr Caine (and would love to converse with him). The book provides an in-depth and well documented trail of give and take between the governor's office, the legislature and the commission. This book provides a real lesson in the democratic process of how a group of individuals with a shared passion moved the State legislature to pass laws that were fair for all concerned.

this book is very interesting.it is filled with excitment and suspense!i would recomend both books to any one!

This turns out to be an outstanding book and I'm very happy to have it. The text is pleasant to read, written in a friendly and personal way. The pictures are crisp and beautiful, and laid out nicely alongside the text for easy access while reading the description. One outstanding feature is the detailed habitat information based on the author's years of field experience in observing the habitats of each of these orchids. Another stand-out is that the author has done the photography himself, resulting in pictures that support and complement the text very well. I checked several books on orchids and wildflowers while trying to identify an orchid in my forest (which turns out to be a lily-leaved twayblade), and I found this book to be the best. In summary, I'm impressed with this book. I hope it will set a new standard for other books on regional wildflowers.

Northrop Frye is one of the greatest Shakespeare critics of all time (and there have been many). For those who think comedy is a trivial art form, this book will change your mind. Comedy is more serious than tragedy, and Frye illuminates not only Shakespeare's comedies but all comedy. He shows why Shakespeare's comedies are just as important, if not more important, than his tragedies because they pave the way for the romances which are the culmination of Shakespeare's work. The comedies and romances reveal the bounty and plentitude of life, and expose the basic illusions that keep a community from flourishing. They are a celebration of life. Any lover of Shakespeare will be in awe of Frye's admiration for the Bard and the joy he takes in writing about him. No reader can come away from this experience without a deeper appreciation of the greatest writer of all time.

This is the first book I reach for when I want basic information on Mozart. It is compact enough to read straight through in a few hours; it is also well-organized for reference by subject. There is succinct coverage of everything you'd want in a composer's biography: dates, events, family, colleagues, works; there is a good amount of musical analysis, a few pages of autograph manuscript, portraits of the composer, a lengthy bibliography, and a work list. This includes dates, key, forces required, title where applicable, and Koechel number(s).

There is no mental analysis or minute examination of the Baesle letters or anything of the sort here, just the "hard facts" on Mozart--and plentiful guidance on where to look next if you need more information on a great composer.
