I was looking for a book of oldies for a music program we were going to do and found this book on Amazon. Includes lots of Beatles tunes, Turtles, Mamas and Papas, and The Who. When the songs were performed, audience members were misty-eyed when hearing some of those songs from "their era". Some of the songs include; "Abraham, Martin and John", "California Dreamin'","Happy Together", "Wild Thing", and many more. Glad to have this book in my collection.

This is an essential book for those people engaged in the Civil engineering industry. Unfortunately is is around 500 pages and rather pricey.

I've been following Christgau's work in the Village Voice for almost twenty-five years now. Though he can be a bit prolix, if there exists a more astute observer of pop culture, I've failed to find him/her. Chief among his many strengths as a critic is the fact that he (like the sorely missed Pauline Kael) has never forgotten that art should first be pleasurable. He is also as immune to knee-jerk put-downs (cf his recent favorable review of rap artist Canibus) as he is mindless hype. In short, he has the best ears in the business and will extend both your listening range and pleasure if given half a chance.

Guerrilla Radio by Matthew Collin (London Editor of "The Big Issue") is the incredible but true story of the Serbian pirate radio station B92. This was an unlicensed radio broadcast station which began in the late 1980's for the simple purpose of playing music, but it quickly evolved into become an outspoken voice against the genocidal Serbian dictator Slobodan Milosevic. A powerful story of people's refusal to be silenced, culminating with the eventual end of Milosevic's regime in October 2000, Guerilla Radio is a strongly recommended and revealing example of the determination of human will and spirit against all efforts to shut it down, disrupt its broadcasts, and otherwise silence an underground resistance to an horrific tyranny.

The descriptions in this exhaustive guide are brief, but excellent. It covers the terrain within a long weekend's outing from Vancouver. It assumes that you know what you are doing and do not require trails to walk on. If you can navigate through the bush using a topo map, compass, and altimeter, then this is the best book for you. For more detailed info on hikes with trails, use the book "103 Hikes".

This book is an exhaustive, complete list of pretty much every summit in the region. It covers approaches and routes in a summary-type fashion, e.g. "follow west side of creek to 3000 ft., then follow NE ridge, keeping to the left of conspicuous gendarme. Some parties may wish to rope up for the final 500 ft., which is class 3". It doesn't hold your hand, but the advice is good, and if you are experienced (or corageous!) then this is more than enough info.

There are detailed descriptions for climbing and mountaineering routes. For popular climbing areas and peaks, i.e. the Tantalus Range, Sky Pilot, etc. there are photos with the routes marked on them.

This is the ultimate collection for anyone who plays guitar. You should be ashamed of yourself if you do not have this book, or any other Lynyrd Skynyrd book. This book is like my Bible. The only thing it's missing is "That Smell," which is possibly the greated song for guitar ever written. But it does have "Free Bird." Anyone who plays guitar should know the solo from "Free Bird," even if it is too hard for you to play. 4 and a half minutes of just kick-[behind] guitar solos. Some other highlights of the book are "Sweet Home Alabama," "Tuesday's Gone," "Gimme Three Steps," and "What's Your name?" But all the songs in the book are incredible. I wasn't a real Lynyrd Skynyrd fan before I bought this book and learned all the solos and riffs, and now I respect them more than ever. You need this book. Don't be caught without it.

"Guitar Army" is a product of it's time. To some, that would imply that this book is "dated". That's true, and that's what makes it so fascinating. Few people still remember how organized certain factions of the counter-culture were (at least, in theory). The writings of John Sinclair are not those of a naive stoner who's pre-occupied with sex, drugs and Rock 'n' Roll, but of a well informed and carefully thought out intellectual who is preoccupied with the above. If every hippie/radical was as committed as Sinclair was, The Revolution might just have succeded.

Simple concise, covers a lot of territory for it's size. Gives background on the different climbing areas, but again the descriptions are brief. An excellent guide for those who don't want much fluff.

This is a cool book with cool pictures but there is not enough detail in history. Also you get a free poster yay!

if you want to see what it is like to live in the fast lane then this book is for you!
