A PRINCELY TALERobin Hood
E. Charles Vivian, Compiled by Cooper Edens
The exciting and timeless tale about "the prince of thieves" is more beautiful than ever in this special "Classic Illustrated Edition" title. As with the series' previous titles -- "Peter Pan," "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," "Pinocchio" and "Aesop's Fables" -- "Robin Hood" is illustrated with a virtual best-of variety of color and black-and-white images from a collection of archival sources. There are more than 100 splendid images in all, dating from the 12th to the 20th century and created by artists as diverse as N.C. Wyeth, Howard Pyle, Walter Crane and Honor C. Appleton. The range is considerable, the fine-detail of the works is immensely impressive, the art restoration is impeccable, and each antique image is uniquely charming. The lack of a consistent visual style is initially jarring, but quickly it becomes apparent that this inconsistency is the very source of the book's appeal, particularly for retro fans attracted to ye olde graphics. The text itself remains loyal to E. Charles Vivian's classic version of the story -- with most of the content, spelling and grammar intact from the 1906 edition, making this respectful tribute to an old masterpiece worth its weight in gold marks.

Roll over Che Guevara: Travels of a Radical Reporter
Published in Paperback by Verso Books (May, 1996)
Average review score:
Gonzo Reading!Cooper's book is truly a knock-out. A whirlwind, drag-out, bust-em-up, radical, political, cultural tour from Moscow, to Iraq to Cuba and back to Los Angeles and Las Vegas. His eye for telling detail bowled me over as he ripped open the seamy underside of the new global economy and the new world order. I read a lot of lefty writers and enjoy them. But Cooper adds something new to the mix: a real talent for seeing, listening, reporting and writing. Don't miss his chapter on Las Vegas. In a clear homage to Doctor Gonzo (Hunter S. Thompson), Marc Cooper just flays at the capital of ersatz culture. When's his next book? Sign me up.

Rousseau, Nature, and the Problem of the Good Life
Published in Paperback by Pennsylvania State Univ Pr (Txt) (October, 1999)
Average review score:
Excellent research, well thought-outDon't be put-off by the title, this is no dusty, boring tome. Mr. Cooper obviously did his homework on this one, and communicates his interpretation of Rousseau's ideas in a way we residents of the 21st century can relate to. This should be required reading for George W. and Al Gore - and anyone else who thinks he/she can run a country!
The Runt Pig Principle: A Fundamental Approach to Solving Problems and Creating Value
Published in Paperback by Alliance for Progress Pub (November, 1992)
Average review score:
the Runt Pig PrincpleA book that should be read by all young people wondering how to "get started" in the world. Many short and amusing stories, each with a "principle" or lesson learned by the author in his own growing up experiences. There is also an excellent overview of many eras and areas in the US as the author moves through the states and through his growing up. A definite must read, not only by the young but also by the more mature who will identify with the experiences.

Search and Rescue Fundamentals: Basic Skills and Knowledge to Perform Search and Rescue
Published in Paperback by Emergency Response Institute (December, 1996)
Average review score:
Search and Rescue BibleI found this book to be invaluable in terms of basic skills and information for backcountry SAR. My team uses the book as its training guide and all members use it throughout their training (even continuing education). Although a bit light on technical rescue, everyone will find this book useful if they are interested in learning how wilderness SAR should be done. I also found its companion text extremely valuable: Fundamentals of Mantracking.
The Second Escape of Arthur Cooper
Published in Hardcover by Marshall Cavendish Corp/Ccb (October, 2000)
Average review score:
Quakers in Nantucket help a runaway slave and his family.Arthur Cooper was a real person who, as a young man, escaped slavery in Virginia and went north to Massachusetts, where he married a free-born African-American woman, had several children, and moved to Nantucket Island, where in 1822 he was nearly captured by slave catchers but rescued by the Quaker community. The narrator of this novel is a fictional Quaker child, ten-year-old Phebe Folger. Arthur's wife, Mary, is hired by Phebe's father to care for her mother, bedridden since a carriage accident several months ago. Phebe has many concerns present in all children. She worries for her mother and resents her older sister's efforts to educate her. Phebe describes several months of her life as she gets to know the Cooper family. When the family is in danger of being captured, Phebe helps to save them. This was an inspiring novel about how a group of people, including young children, saw a great evil (slavery) and did whatever they could to prevent it. Younger children who enjoy historical fiction are sure to enjoy it.
Secret France
Published in Paperback by W.W. Norton & Company (March, 2000)
Average review score:
Another side of France.A great book for finding and seeing France from another vantage point. There is great detail and information about this country not found in travel guides. The information about French people and their unique life styles is invaluable to the traveler. This book is such a find, outlining marvelous places to experience and know about. The color photography is great, with insight into "hidden" France. I can't wait to use this book in France.
Heads up, lovers of all things Schumann! Ruskin King Cooper explores the life and piano music of Ludwig Schuncke in an impeccably researched and engagingly written new book, ROBERT SCHUMANN'S CLOSEST "JUGENDFREUND:" LUDWIG SCHUNCKE (1810-1834) AND HIS PIANO MUSIC. Robert Schumann dedicated his colossal "Toccata," op. 7 to Schuncke; likewise, the "Neue Zeitschrift fur Musik" endures as an eloquent testimony to the lively artistic and emotional camaraderie that existed between Schumann and Schuncke. Oddly, scholarly appraisals of Ludwig Schuncke's musical contributions have been largely absent; Cooper's study sets a high standard for subsequent research pertaining to this notable Davidite.
The book, in German/English, comprises a biography of Schuncke and a discussion of selected piano works (many of them gems); appendices include a list of works, discography, pertinent correspondence, and contemporary reviews. The text also incorporates ample illustrations and musical examples. An earlier version of Cooper's research on Schuncke was awarded The Outstanding Dissertation Award from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro in 1995. Cooper presently teaches at Salem College and Davidson College in North Carolina.
