Book Description

Twelve-thousand feet beneath the Atlantic Ocean . . .
scientists are excavating the most extraordinary undersea discovery ever made. But is it the greatest archaeological find in history—or the most terrifying?

Former naval doctor Peter Crane is urgently summoned to a remote oil platform in the North Atlantic to help diagnose a bizarre medical condition spreading through the rig. But when he arrives, Crane learns that the real trouble lies far below—on “Deep Storm,” a stunningly advanced science research facility built two miles beneath the surface on the ocean floor. The topsecret structure has been designed for one purpose: to excavate a recently discovered undersea site that may hold the answers to a mystery steeped in centuries of myth and speculation.

Sworn to secrecy, Dr. Crane descends to Deep Storm. A year earlier, he is told, routine drilling uncovered the remains of mankind’s most sophisticated ancient civilization: the legendary Atlantis. But now that the site is being excavated, a series of disturbing illnesses has begun to affect the operation. Scientists and technicians are experiencing a bizarre array of symptoms—from simple fatigue to violent psychotic episodes. As Crane is indoctrinated into the strange world of Deep Storm and commences his investigation, he begins to suspect that the covert facility conceals something more complicated than a medical mystery.The discovery of Atlantis might, in fact, be a cover for something far more sinister . . . and deadly.

Like Lincoln Child’s spectacular bestsellers coauthored with Douglas Preston (The Book of the Dead, Relic), Deep Storm melds scientific detail and gripping adventure in a superbly imagined, chillingly real journey into unknown territory. Child is a master of suspense, and Deep Storm is his most ambitious novel to date.

Book Description

Waiting for Daisy is about loss, love, anger and redemption. It’s about doing all the things you swore you’d never do to get something you hadn’t even been sure you wanted. It’s about being a woman in a confusing, contradictory time. It’s about testing the limits of a loving marriage. And it’s about trying (and trying and trying) to have a baby.
Orenstein’s story begins when she tells her new husband that she’s not sure she ever wants to be a mother; it ends six years later after she’s done almost everything humanly possible to achieve that goal, from “fertility sex” to escalating infertility treatments to New Age remedies to forays into international adoption. Her saga unfolds just as professional women are warned by the media to heed the ticking of their biological clocks, and just as fertility clinics have become a boom industry, with over two million women a year seeking them out. Buffeted by one jaw-dropping obstacle after another, Orenstein seeks answers both medical and spiritual in America and Asia, along the way visiting an old flame who’s now the father of fifteen, and discovering in Japan a ritual of surprising solace. All the while she tries to hold onto a marriage threatened by cycles, appointments, procedures and disappointments. Waiting for Daisy is an honest, wryly funny report from the front, an intimate page-turner that illuminates the ambivalence, obsession, and sacrifice that characterize so many modern women’s lives.

Mixed Reactions.......2007-06-15

After reading Orenstein's book, I was left with mixed reactions. Her ambivalence about managing motherhood and career captured the struggles so many of us face today. Her tales about the crazy maze of infertility treatments captured the process perfectly. At the same time, the book felt a bit too much like reading someone's journal. It was too self indulgent to be very funny to me, especially when she talked about adoption. I was sad reading about her ability to treat these children as disposable in her quest for pregnancy. As she made the decision not to follow up with the adoption of Kai after learning she was pregnant and learning the process would be difficult, she reinforced the old idea that adoptive parenting is less meaningful and important than biological parenting.

The best medicine.......2007-06-07

This book was simply amazing - it comforted me on so many levels, including making me feel just a little bit less lonely in my struggle with infertility. She is an amazing author and has the ability to convey complicated, embarassing, and sometimes horrifying experiences and feelings in a way that inspires and motivates and comforts. Any woman (or man) struggling with fertility should read it!

Lost a night of sleep.......2007-06-04

I couldnt book the book down. Sometimes tragic and always funny.

Another happy fertility ending.......2007-05-28

I wanted to like this book more than I actually did. While Orenstein is doubtless a terrific writer, her narcissism kept me from fully sympathizing with her plight (case in point -- WHY is there not a picture of her with her little girl on the jacket cover?). As the mom of three, I never had to walk the infertility road, so I cannot identify with the lengths people go to to have of child "of their own." But to risk her marriage and her health....! The ends seemed to justify the means. I am sure that many women struggling with infertility will find comfort in Orenstein's tale. At the same time, I think it will cause many raised eyebrows.

I'm So Annoyed! Warning: Spoiler Included.......2007-05-27

I read this book for several nights feeling as if I'd lived so much of this woman's experiences through infertility. So grateful it wasn't one of THOSE stories where after all the hell of IF treatments the couple gives up, goes on vacation and returns home to find out a few weeks later they are pregnant after that miraculous vaction. But, unfortunately, that's exactly what happens. Unfortunately, it makes everything positive about the book fade for me.

Sorely disappointed...

Book Description

Ever since anonymous spray-can art began appearing on city walls in New York and Philadelphia in the late 1960s, graffiti has been a ubiquitous presence in the urban landscape, its artists largely unsung heroes. As hip-hop culture spread from America, graffiti became a worldwide phenomenon, emerging in the 1980s as the symbolic artistic language of young people everywhere and one of the most potent influences on youth-oriented marketing and design. With more than 2,000 illustrations by over 150 artists from all over the world and interviews with many of them, this visually arresting book is the most comprehensive survey of graffiti art ever published.

Today's young graffiti artists incorporate a variety of mediums-including stickers, stencils, oils, acrylics, and oil-based chalk-as well as an ever-expanding range of social commentary. This evolution in style and subject matter has earned graffiti the respect of the art world and guaranteed its long-lasting influence on art, graphic design, and style around the world. Great fun for graffiti and pop-culture buffs, the book is also an essential reference work for anyone involved in the visual arts today. AUTHOR BIO: Nicholas Ganz (also known as Keinom, his pen name) is a graffiti artist who has traveled around the world to gather material for this book. He lives in Essen, Germany. Tristan Manco is a graphic artist and director of Bristol-based Tijuana Design. He is the author of Stencil Graffiti and Street Logos.

A Great Pictorial Documentary of Street Art.......2007-06-01

Beautiful, glossy images, with many styles and influences...

ohhh.... but I like those slate grey concrete walls.......2007-04-05

To the previous reviewer:

Quote "It just goes to show how brainwashed everybody is into thinking this act of vandalism is an artform"

Of course you are entitled to your opinion, however the sad thing is that you are actually the one who is brainwashed. I guess it is not your fault that years of conditioning have created a closed mind that is unable to appreciate art in forms other than a nice little square canvas hanging on your living room wall.
Try to remove those blinkers once in a while you may be surprised.

peace

OK, as for the book itself.....
Pros: It covers a good spectrum of street art from many countries and is loaded with thousands of photos, making it a great coffee table book. When you open the book and flick through a few of the glossy pages the quality is obvious you really feel like you got your moneys worth.
Pretty good mix of moonlight pieces and the legal stuff.

Cons: The text is pretty minimal and offers only a brief intro to the artists, but I guess most people will be buying this book for the pictures anyway.
I also thought it could have included some larger format pictures considering the page size, pretty minor complaint tho.

Most people will find it a nice gentle intro in to the world of graf art, others a useful reference.

What is wrong with everyone?.......2007-03-28

Let me say this first off - graffiti is NOT art. It is vandalism, pure and simple. To take to someone else's property with a spray can and cover it with ugly scrawl is the lowest of the low in our modern world.

I am disappointed and disgusted that fine and reputable publishers of art books - Thames and Hudson in the UK and Abrams in the US - could have stooped so low and produced this obscene book, just to make a buck. To glorify these arrogant vandals who think its 'way cool' to commit criminal acts that not only cause millions of dollars worth of damage every week but also make modern cities ugly is reprehensible. And from the reviews on here, why am I the only person who thinks like this?

When I flicked through this book in the local bookstore, I felt sick to my stomach that this book could exist. People - do NOT glorify graffiti. It is not art. It is a criminal act that turns our cities into eyesores.

Obviously the number of people who will not find my review helpful (ie. disagrees with me) will be overwhelming. It just goes to show how brainwashed everybody is into thinking this act of vandalism is an artform. How tragic for our future, and the future of true art.

Fast shipping, good item.......2007-03-09

Shipping was very fast and item came in condition it was promised.

Disappointed.......2007-01-12

First let me say that the book has a great deal of content. But growing up in New York exposed me to years of Urban Art and much of what I saw was mind blowing. How it could be done with simple spray cans and also the enormity and scale of some of the art was amazing. Perhaps my expectations were too high when I ordered the book. But although it reflects a great deal of work, in honesty I felt unimpressed.

Latino History.......2007-04-05

This history is told from the point of view of the oppressed people detailing the horrible conditions in Chile during the Industrial Revolution.

Open Veins of Latin America: Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent.......2007-02-07

Keep the good work upp!

A history written not by the victors........2007-01-31

I am rather obsessed with history, and was given the book by a friend from Chile. The nearest book I can think of is Engels' "The Condition of the Working Class in England in 1844" (which I think is fairly well-regarded as a piece of historical reportage of how horrific conditions were during the industrial revolution).

Although a depressing account of how rich peoples exploit the poor, it is a great book (IMO). It was also unusual to read a history written not by the victors, but by the oppressed. What I would really like to see is a chapter written in 2007 detailing the lot of the majority in today's Latin America.

Outdated, bias, full with prejudice and lack of analysis.......2006-09-24

This book is one of the most bias and harmful books ever written on Latin America. The only reason for his success would be it was written in the midst of the Cold War, with the support of all the comunist propoganda. The book have no depth and lacks the most basic historical, economic and social analysis. Written by a bunch of second-rate writers, it hardly scratch the surface, limiting itself to play the victim's role some leaders like Hugo Chavez are trying to play today. There're many serious books out there to waste time with this one. If you're interested with the subject, maybe you should start with a history one, like "The two empires of América".

Trash-book.The bible of latino moron........2006-06-06

I tried to read this trash-book,here in Brazil, about twenty years ago.This book is so bad, that I never finished it.The author is a marxist and knowed faker, ridiculous and Fidel Castro's friend.
The core's idea of this trash book is the fantasy that Latin America became poor, from outside exploration and capitalism.
Nonsense believe.
Before latin America be discovered, slavery, human sacrifice and canibalism were normal day life for all latin-americans.About 98% of indians were unliterate, before european discovery.For the feminists, I must tell that women were sexual's products and work's source in the fake "paradises".I won't discuss massive human sacrifice, slavery,genocides, massives extintion of animals(such as mamouth) maden by "good savages" more.I must tell you that latin American was far worse before european influence, than today.
The fact that capitalism or exploration be, the source of latin-american's poverty is also absurd.Since colonial times, government's taxes, controls, government's robbery are normal in latin America.And this happens centuries ago.
Latin American is poor not from capitalism or exploration, but the lack of them.The most socialist country in Latin America is Cuba, and this the poorest of latin american countries.At the same time, the most capitalist country in Latin America is Chile, who also has the best quality of life.
This book is one of the biggests sources of latin American moronic believes.The autho itself is an expert in ridiculous books.

Book Description

For this companion volume to the award-winning Hot Sour Salty Sweet, Jeffrey Alford and Naomi Duguid travel west from Southeast Asia to that vast landmass the colonial British called the Indian Subcontinent. It includes not just India, but extends north to Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Nepal and as far south as Sri Lanka, the island nation so devastated by the recent tsunami. For people who love food and cooking, this vast region is a source of infinite variety and eye-opening flavors.

Home cooks discover the Tibetan-influenced food of Nepal, the Southeast Asian tastes of Sri Lanka, the central Asian grilled meats and clay-oven breads of the northwest frontier, the vegetarian cooking of the Hindus of southern India and of the Jain people of Gujarat. It was just twenty years ago that cooks began to understand the relationships between the multifaceted cuisines of the Mediterranean; now we can begin to do the same with the foods of the Subcontinent.

A travelogue by Bill Bryson is as close to a sure thing as funny books get. The Lost Continent is no exception. Following an urge to rediscover his youth (he should know better), the author leaves his native Des Moines, Iowa, in a journey that takes him across 38 states. Lucky for us, he brought a notebook.

With a razor wit and a kind heart, Bryson serves up a colorful tale of boredom, kitsch, and beauty when you least expect it. Gentler elements aside, The Lost Continent is an amusing book. Here's Bryson on the women of his native state: "I will say this, however--and it's a strange, strange thing--the teenaged daughters of these fat women are always utterly delectable ... I don't know what it is that happens to them, but it must be awful to marry one of those nubile cuties knowing that there is a time bomb ticking away in her that will at some unknown date make her bloat out into something huge and grotesque, presumably all of a sudden and without much notice, like a self-inflating raft from which the pin has been yanked."

Yes, Bill, but be honest: what do you really think?

The social, economic and political institutions of the African continent were designed to ensure survival and maximize numbers, but in the context of medical progress and other twentieth-century innovations these institutions have bred the most rapid population growth the world has ever seen. The history of the continent is thus a single story binding living Africans to the earliest human ancestors.
