The Rise of David Duke
Published in Hardcover by Univ Pr of Mississippi (September, 1995)
Author: Tyler Bridges
Average review score:

More liberal propanganda.
This garbage is almost funny in a sick sort of way.I guess according to Bridges you are a "bigot" if you are white and proud.I picked this book up by mistake,but read it anyway,a complete waste of my time.It is nothing more than a biased slander of a great man of integrity.If you want to know the REAL David Duke,I suggest you purchase My Awakening by Duke himself and avoid the out of context quotes that this book is full of.This is little more than another ... attempt to make European Americans feel guility,and to believe that men like Duke are a "danger".The wolves have convinced the sheep that the dogs are dangerous.

Fascinating
The most complete and enlightening book written about one of America's most bizarre characters. A must have for anyone interested in how bent characters can develop a following and a missin.

Truth Stranger Than Any Fiction
I just finished reading The Rise of David Duke. It was one of the best books I've ever read. It was an illuminating tale about an important character from the late 20th century. The book was both educational and easy to read. I would recommend it to anyone who truly wants to understand David Duke. This is not a story that Duke would want told. Written by a top flight, Pulitzer-Prize winning investigative reporter, it is meticulously researched, speaking truth stranger than any fiction.


The Silver Key: Madame Victoria's Finishing School
Published in Mass Market Paperback by Rosebud Books (March, 1998)
Author: Alison Tyler
Average review score:

Starts out promising, but eventually runs out of steam!
I liked the first couple of chapters of this book, as the main protagonist discovers her attraction to her pretty schoolmates, and they begin experimenting with girl-girl sex and spanking eachother. But the eroticism never fully develops, and instead the author just keeps adding more and more girls to the mix. In the end, I'm inclined to say I just lost interest. Eroticism requires imagination, and this book simply ran out.

Nicely erotic ... refreshing.
The round robin of diary entries made by these young school girls makes for some rather delicious reading. Games of spanking and love are played to the ultimate pleasure of all. A tender little book and good bedtime reading. Enjoy!

A naughty diary of girls who like to be bad...
First one, then two, then eventually six or more girls at a finishing school delight in sneaking away to spank and fondle each other (and write entries in the shared diary). Action never horrifies; early parts of the book are fairy tale lush with amorous lust mixed with painful desire, nicely done but overall kinda wimpy and boring.


American Paleolithic; Boat Building Eight Million Years Ago
Published in Hardcover by Discovery Books (16 November, 1999)
Authors: Donald E. Tyler and Donald E. Tyler M.D.
Average review score:

Is this science fiction?
Alleged discovery of 3 to 8 million-year-old woodworking tools in North America stretches credultity beyond the breaking point. Archeologists are beginning to accept the possibility that there were humans in the western hemisphere as early as 50 thousand years ago, but even this is still controversial. The Clovis culture of approximately 10,500 BC is the earliest on which there is broad concensus. Even in Africa, the most primitive Olduwan stone tools are only 2.5 million years old or so.

Man has been in the Americas for at least 50,000 years !
In Brazil, there are archeological sites dating from 48,000 BC in the Northeast Region. The pre-historical people that lived in palaphits on the lakes of the "Baixada" Region of Maranhão State, plus the "Seven Cities" and "Capivara Mountain" Historical National Parks in the State of Piaui and "Lagoa Santa" in the State of Minas Gerais, are widely recognized presences of ancient men in Brazil much earlier than the North American sites. There are new thesis that men first came to the American from Africa to the Northeast cost of Brazil. And not from Asia through the Behring Strait or through the Pascoa Island in the Pacific. I think it is quite possible that we were in the Americas eight million years ago - why not ?


Basic Principles of Curriculum and Instruction
Published in Paperback by University of Chicago Press (March, 1969)
Authors: Rw Tyler and Ralph W. Tyler
Average review score:

Poorly written
I have read books written for children that were better than this. The grammar was grade-school level, the punctuation was horrendous, the wording simplistic. For example, on page 28 Tyler writes, "Let me illustrate these two types of suggestions that can be got from these reports..." Even the back cover, in a tribute to the author, has commas that don't belong. This is a fine illustration of the dire state of our educational system, as it was written by a former Professor of Education and Dean!

Ideas
This last review is an illustration of exactly what is wrong with so many educators. Imagine someone so narrow-minded they can't get past the style of writing that they most prefer in order to understand the ideas behind the writing. This book likely did a great deal to counteract the design of curricula based on the kind of traditionalists who would focus exclusively on "commas in the wrong place". BTW, there are few if any grammar or mechanical errors in the book, and Tyler certainly didn't do the jacket design.


Migraine Headaches & the Foods You Eat: 200 Recipes for Relief
Published in Paperback by Chronimed Publishing (November, 1998)
Authors: G. Scott Tyler and Agnes Peg Hartnell
Average review score:

Disappointed
I bought this book thinking I would be getting more of a variety of meals to help prevent migraines and better planning of meals. What I found in my opinion was a lot of receipies with questionable migraine-triggering ingredients. There were VERY few recipes using just the "foods allowed" section. I found about 10 without any yeast, vinegar or other questionable items such as canned or jar ingredients. When you are at the elimination diet stage after being first diagnosed with migraines, this is the diet you need most. At my next Dr. appointment, I plan on bringing in the book to get his opinion. I did find the food purchasing guide helpful.

Finally! This book has been needed for a long time!
This book explains in simple language how the selection of foods can help avoid migraine headaches. Most books describe how migraines begin, but this book goes to that next, most important step...what you can do about it! So many migraines begin with foods that "trigger" the onset of the migraine. This book provides lists of all the foods to avoid, and helps you eliminate the ones that are a personal "trigger" for each individual. It's easy to figure out what not to eat, and through choosing from all the recipes, grocery store shopping lists, charts, etc., it's such a relief to know WHAT to do, finally!

Anyone who suffers from migraines should have this book!


A New and Simple Theory of Gravity
Published in Paperback by Discovery Books (16 April, 1971)
Author: Donald E. Tyler
Average review score:

Interesting but doubtful
This book begins promising. It highlights flaws inherent in science's current understanding of gravity, and outlines the method that the book will disprove these shakey beliefs. However it barely does this, and instead makes for a slow and rather bizarre read

ELECTROGRAVITY MADE EASY!
I first read this book back in the early 80's as I was beginning to research electrogravity(gravity & electricity united). This book was a layman's answer to some puzzling questions! Unfortunately I lost the book in 1982 and I am ordering a new one to add to my collection of classics! If you ever heard about Electro-Gravity, order this book!


Park (Ing Lot): 3
Published in Paperback by Washington Square Arts (January, 2000)
Author: Mike Tyler
Average review score:

incoherent raving
rather typical pseudo-stream-of-consciousness from one I suspect lacks experience, and so, invents it. no surprises here.

Intelligence never tasted so good
When it comes to writing poetry, Mike Tyler makes not one false move: his work is SMART smart smart, funny, fully conscious and right on the money. You will think about things you read here for years to come. Never a dull page and lots of groovy pictures and reminiscences of his days as a founding member of the late great Nuyorican Poets cafe Live! performing group. Get it now! His work has a way of disappearing...


Sustaining the Earth With Infotrac: An Integrated Approach
Published in Paperback by Brooks Cole (February, 2001)
Author: G. Tyler Miller
Average review score:

Sustaining the Earth
Environmental preservation is such an important subject that it should be presented in a manner that anyone can understand. This book burries the reader, with it's run-on sentances, with mind boggling fact after mind boggling fact. The grammar was so bad that it ultimately stunted my motivation for reading the text not more than half way through. I reccomend looking elsewhere in order to educate yourself on bio-eccological concerns.

Environmental Science 101
Here is a book that will give you all the basics of environmental science. Miller updates his book every 2 years, so the information is not only relevant, it's completely current. (Very difficult with such a fast paced topic.)

The book provides all the basic ground work for continuing to study or just be involved with what's going on in the environment.

There are chapters on basic science terms, population, energy, biodiversity, pollution, hazardous waste, economics and politics.

For example, if you want to know what the US Fish and Wildlife group has done historical, currently and what different groups would like them to do now and why, it's all in this book.

Absolutely fascinating reading for anyone who want's to know what all the noise is about our environment.


Anne Tyler Four Complete Novels
Published in Hardcover by Avenel (November, 1990)
Author: Anne Tyler
Average review score:

Mixed bag.
Four complete early novels by Tyler.

Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant is a bittersweet retelling of the history of a family, a family with its own peculiar insecurities and rivalries that is nonetheless bound together by love, even if the family members realize that too late. A quiet, slow-moving book, it is nonetheless an engrossing read filled with real, engaging, multi-faceted characters.

If Morning Ever Comes is a lukewarm early offering by a gifted novelist. The story concerns a young man trying to leave behind his home of six sisters, but I suggest you skip it altogether in favor of one of Tyler's later, and much better, offerings.

Morgan's Passing follows an eccentric named Morgan as he bumbles through his life, putting on one costume after another, one persona after another, in an effort to discover who he is really is. It's not him but the woman who falls in love with him who discovers that, though. A quiet, entertaining read.

I didn't think The Tin Can Tree lived up to the strength of Tyler's other publications. It concerns the aftermath of a little girl's accidental death and the effect of the death on the people who live in the same house -- her family and neighbors. While the prose and characterization, as always, are strong, the story isn't that compelling. It just seems to amble along to no particular spot in particular.


The Doctors
Published in Paperback by Signet (May, 1995)
Author: Tyler Cortland
Average review score:

Pam Roberts plans may not come to be !
The Circle C burns down, Pam Roberst is placed as the CON and eventually she gets a position on the Board of the Hospital at Chandler Springs. Sophie gets Married and Margret and Sean become engaged, a lot of action in this book. This is the third in a series of books.

Great writing by the author and I am looking forward to reading the Nurses, so I can see what happens .... I am now excited about Chandler Springs and all the Gang.
