Book Description
Mumford explains the forces that have shaped technology since prehistoric times and shaped the modern world. He shows how tools developed because of significant parallel inventions in ritual, language, and social organization. “It is a stimulating volume, informed both with an enormous range of knowledge and empathetic spirit” (Eliot Fremont-Smith, New York Times). Index; photographs.

vital books.......2004-04-21
Lewis Mumford was one of the 20th century's most important philosophers, and the two-volume set Myth of the Machine (Volume 1 is Technics and Human Development; and Volume 2 is The Pentagon of Power) are probably his most important books: the summation of his life's work. In writing as elegant as it is clear, Mumford makes plain the death urge that has always underlain civilization, which Mumford calls "the machine," and later "the megamachine." This is a social structure organized not around any organic human needs, but around the "needs" of the machines that have come to characterize and control our lives. These are crucial, incisive, devastating books. I cannot praise them highly enough.
The whole story!.......2000-09-22
rather than the typical modern myths about mankind and its evolution - evoked by TV-series like "The X-Files" - this great book - as an amazing anthology of the human intellect - shows the "whole truth" ( that is not outhere by the way, but in our brains ) and how much we are going to lose of our human capacilities if we adore the principle of the machine!
This book is an excellent history of language as a tool.......1997-03-18
This superb book discusses why language was mans most valuable tool ever developed and critiques opinions that say other wise. Enjoy, Mumford was a true geniu

Book Description
Absurd and surreal comic strips featuring the boy with a splitting headache and his nameless protagonist, as well as the further adventures of forty year old businessman trapped in the body of a child "Li'l Adult," and "Matthew," a Christian-bumper-sticker-slogan quoting missionary out to convert the heathen kids of his neighborhood. While Fiering has recently been busy writing for television animation, he has continued to draw new Migraine Boy stories and other new characters, most of which have never been published. This new, quarterly series will feature these and other new material from the odd imagination of Greg Fiering.

the best headache you'll ever have.......2000-05-30
This comic strip was brought to my attention via REM's "Monster", many years ago. That horrible excuse for a CD was good for at least one thing!
The evil twin of Charlie Brown, Migraine Boy never gets a break, but that doesn't stop him from taking his frustrations out on all the neighborhood kids who bug him. These strips have varying styles of humor - alternately twisted, violent, morbid, one-liner, and deadpan. The art looks like it was drawn by someone actually suffering from a migraine: very frantic scribbling, wavy lines... all the better to convey the special atmosphere of this strip. Give it a try!

Deaf President Now! The 1988 Revolution at Gallaudet University
ASIN: 0930323548 |
Book Description
These Hockey legends faced their toughest trials off the ice.
In When the Final Buzzer Sounds, a collection of poignant stories detailing the lives of hockey's greatest players, after the last goal has been tended and the final buzzer sounds. For most players in the NHL, hockey is the defining focus of their lives. Their days are determined by practices and games, teammates and coaches, fans and endless public appearances. Imagine how difficult it would be if all this were to stop with the sounding of the final buzzer. For the players in this book, it was-and the paths they took after hockey often led them far away from the roar of applause.
Out of the public eye and facing life off the ice, these champions of hockey share the sometimes bittersweet, sometimes unexpected, always insightful accounts of their journey out of the sports arena and into the larger world. After the Final Buzzer chronicles the lives of some of the NHL's most famous players after retirement and the turns their lives have taken, often just as wild and crazy as their time on the ice. Through in-depth one-on-one interviews this book profiles such heroes as: * PHIL ESPOSITO, who is giving back to the game that gave him so much * BOBBY HULL, a globe-trotting cattleman * GORDIE HOWE, still a legendary fan favorite, who signs as many as a thousand autographs a day * ERIC NESTERENKO, a self-confessed ski bum with the soul of a poet
After the Final Buzzer offers the vivid and captivating portraits of nine of hockey's greatest players, chronicling the struggles and triumphs that came after a life on the ice.

Wives will experience a sense of relief to find that someone understand what they really need from their husbands - and can help them get it.

Eye-Opening Cultural Study, both in method and results........2004-10-28
Male Fantasies is a book I wish many, many people would read. The writing is long-winded, the author's ideas are sometimes (in Volume II) flaky, but the content of the book is too good for this to matter. Theweleit studies the art and literature of a particular group of men--the Freikorps--who were essentially disaffected former soldiers in Germany after the First World War. These men developed their own groups and their own culture, and became the firsts-in-line to man Hitler's new army in the '30s (the Brown Shirts and Black Shirts). What is so fascinating about this book is that it approaches the study of this group by looking at the images of women in their writings. Initially, the author goes in great detail over letters these men wrote; then he looks at their magazines and novels. It turns out that through their images of women, a whole vision of human personal and political reality can be decoded. A particular vision of women (a complex typology of types of women: the mother, the sister, the white nurse, the red nurse, etc.) turns out to be intimately interwoven with a fascist approach to human life--AND this vision turns out to be the core of a great deal of our own imagery and political self-perception. The first 225 pages of Book I are the crucial part to read, and then you can skip around through the rest of Volumes I and II as you see fit. The discussion of Freud and Medusa in this section and the discussion of the notions of deterritorialization and reterritorialization in the work of Deleuze and Guattar are specially valuable segments. This book is also a good introduction to some important Weimar-era history, especially regarding Rosa Luxemburg and the Spartacists. I recommend this book to anyone in the humanities and to any generally intellectually minded adult. If you take the time to get into it, it will change your perception of some important things.
Richly and persuasively detailed history.......2000-10-07
A deeply felt and extensively documented look at the lives and times of these men in Weimar Germany. The author looks unflinching at the Freikorps men, precursors of the Nazis, with all that they have very different from most of us today--and all they have that is all too common with us today. But here I am stressing the conclusion. The point is, he honestly gets his conclusions out of huge amounts of documentation on everyday life. These men represent an extreme, of course, but their motives and life-conditions were very close to many people in the Weimar Republic. It is a great book on that period, which also relates that time to our own.
fascism is psychoanalysis in reverse.......1997-10-09
Examines fascism as a Reichian phenomenon gone awry - the fascist male experiences ego-dissolution in early infancy, finds it threatening, and so builds for himself a "body armor" within which are contained such "female" traits and emotions (unaknowledged) as weakness, fear, guilt, etc. Through repetitive conditioning and a brutal pedagogy, these negative, shadowy perceptions are then projected outward onto the despised classes of scoiety and made to represent the chaotic forces of the collective cultural unconscious. Like Adorno said, "fascism is psychoanalysis in reverse."

Book Description
Between 1642 and 1646 two armies fought for control of Southwest England in one of the decisive confrontations of the English Civil Wars. In this short, turbulent period Royalists loyal to King Charles I clashed with the forces of Parliament in a series of hard-fought campaigns that crisscrossed the West Country landscape. Rearguard actions, sieges, skirmishes, retreats and pitched battles punctuated the course of the conflict, yet no previous book has retold the story of the Southwestern campaigns in detail. John Barratt's account of this bloody and disruptive phase in the West Country's history offers a graphic description of the engagements themselves and takes the reader on a tour of the battlefields.
