The Reduced Shakespeare Company Christmas
Published in Audio Cassette by The Audio Partners (November, 1998)
Authors: Adam Long, Reed Martin, and Austin Tichenor
Average review score:

Almost As Funny as Seeing Them In Person
The Reduced Shakespeare Company is one of the funniest entertainment we have around. They have a great mix of intelligent and slapstick comedy, and never take themselves too seriously. They are hilarous to see live and to listen to!


Reload: Rethinking Women + Cyberculture
Published in Unknown Binding by Mit Pr (E) (April, 2002)
Authors: Mary Flanagan and Austin Booth
Average review score:

Women, Cyborgs, and Cyberculture
Whether you are merely intrigued by how women are represented in cyberculture, or doing serious research on how women are being affected by technology, this book is a great place to start. Not only does it provide a wide-ranging anthology of the best writing on the subject, including an amazing bibliography (I love bibliographies), but it also includes a number of excerpts from science fiction books portraying women and technology. Not only is this book giving me a lot to think about, it has provided a reading list it will take me quite a while to plough through. Well worth the price and a must for anyone writing seriously about cyberculture or cyberfeminism.

FOUND RECIPES I'LL USE FOREVER in this CLEVER LITTLE BOOK
It was EXCITING to use the RECIPES that were contributed to this "Big" LITTLE COOKBOOK by restaurants in AUSTIN, TEXAS. Love the recipe for SALSA on page 7. The book is CLEVERLY COMPILED at a very REASONABLE PRICE and gives you the CHANCE TO TRY THE SPECIAL DISHES of SKILLED CHEFS. Barbara Allen did a "good thing" here. You don't have to be a TEXAN to use and enjoy REMEMBER THE FLAVORS OF AUSTIN! Big is not necessarily better and this little cookbook proves it!


Revenge and Retribution: Crime, Justice, and Punishment (Crime, Justice, and Punishment)
Published in Library Binding by Chelsea House Pub (Library) (July, 1998)
Authors: Josh Wilker, Austin Sarat, and Joshua D. G. Wilker
Average review score:

Deep insight
As a criminologist I highly recommend this book to anyone of any age. It gives clear and professional information on the subject of the criminal and the system. The author makes this already interesting subject even more fascinating. Get this book and learn from a credible source what most people think they learn from TV.


Right and Reason
Published in Paperback by Tan Books & Publishers, Inc. (January, 2001)
Author: Austin Fagothey
Average review score:

Review from the Publisher
Right and Reason is probably the greatest and most successful Ethics book written to date. Widely used in Catholic colleges, it is undoubtedly the clearest and easiest-to-read Ethics text ever published. The author says that no book can take the place of a professor in the classroom, but this one virtually does-and Fr. Fagothey says he wrote it that way. Though issued in 1959, it remains remarkably contemporary and can be read basically by any adult-either in toto or as a handy reference to look up topics in question. Phrased in non-technical language, Right and Reason is a thoroughly competent book in the philosophy of Ethics, which gives the science of morality from the Aristotelian-Thomistic, common-sense school of thought-which is none other than the Perennial Philosophy of the Ages, the philosophy outside of which one's positions quickly become absurd and all reasoning ends up in dead-ends.

He covers the whole field of Ethics, posing and answering the perennial questions; for example: What makes the right right and the wrong wrong? What is moral obligation and where does it come from? Why is divorce always wrong? Why is abortion always wrong? When is it moral to kill another person? Do animals have rights? What is the origin of the State? Who has the right to educate? Is capital punishment ethical? Is there a right to work? What is a just wage? What is a just war? What is the principle of double effect? Are suicide and euthanasia against the Natural Law? Is there a Natural Law? etc.

The classic principles of Ethics are as valid today as ever, and anyone who attempts to grapple with today's new moral questions-in medical ethics, family issues, international relations, etc.-without a solid grounding in these classic principles is guaranteed to flounder around in the swamp of guesswork, emotional thinking and mere personal opinion. Every educated Catholic and every educated person-if he is to think correctly on moral issues-must be familiar with the great ethical questions and their classic solutions, solutions such as presented in Fr. Fagothey's clear and masterful work, Right and Reason, which for today's confused world is a beacon of common sense written with an authoritative competence that no one can effectively argue against.


Rubicon: The Love Story of Emily Dickinson's Brother, Austin, and Mabel Todd, the Woman Who Saved Emily's Poetry: A Novel
Published in Paperback by Arlington Press (June, 1998)
Author: Candace Ridington
Average review score:

Rubicon by Candace Ridington
I am delighted to have the honor of being the first reviewer of this wonderful book for Amazon. I find it absolutely delicious reading and perfect for being totally immersed. I am going to be lost when I finish the book and longing for more. I cannot stop reading at night and the chapters are such a nice length that it is easy to play the game of "just one more" for a long while. The author really did her homework and the book is accurate historically. I will probably become interested in Emily Dickinson's poetry as a result. There is no doubt that this book will be long remembered.


Saving Belief (Library of Anglican Spirituality)
Published in Paperback by Morehouse Publishing (December, 1994)
Authors: Austin Farrer and Susan Howatch
Average review score:

A useful overview of an exceptional thinker's work
The chapters that make up this book were originally elements of a lecture course in Christian belief Farrer offered to Oxford undergraduates. The style is inviting, the ideas invigorating. Farrer remains what Michael Ramsey once called him: the one genius the Church of England has produced in the twentieth century. Great stuff!


Searchings
Published in Paperback by Xlibris Corporation (16 April, 2001)
Author: Sybil Austin Skakle
Average review score:

Love It!
If there were more religious poetry of the quality and tone that is found in this collection, there would be demand for it. Sybil Skakle tells it like it is! Searchings obviously developed out of a desire to come to terms with a difficult past. The honesty is both impressive and affecting. Who among us does not relate to lines such as "Oh, the torment of the soul / With hate that's not avenged. / Bottled up within the mind / Like a panther in his cage" ["Enmity"] and "How uncomfortable I have made you / Seeking God's perfect love in yours" ["Apology"]. Most of the poems are short, which is a lot harder to do than it looks. BRAVA!! Phyllis Jean D.Green, Editor of Mixing Cement by Peter Tomassi, et al.

Service
Published in Paperback by SeedSowers (September, 2000)
Authors: T. Austin Sparks and T. Austin-Sparks
Average review score:

an excelllent book on service
The actual title of this book is "SERVICE" and it is an inspiring book.I've read many of this man's books and this is just another fine work of his.This work is aimed not at your average church goer but toward the person that has totally abandoned his life to Christ and the Father's will.The types that he draws from the Levites in the first part of the book was worth the price of the book itself.I would highly recomend it to any serious christian.
