Customer Reviews:
They're back!.......2001-09-10
I was delighted to discover this second volume of Doc and Raider. Everyone's favorite leather couple still loves to bicker, fight, shop, max out the credit cards and worry about their wardrobe.
Crises build in this volume. In addition to Doc's HIV infection, their relationship goes through a true trial and Doc and Raider have their first true fist fight. Raider also gets gay bashed. Your heart can't help but go out to him as he lies in a back alley curled up in a fetal position crying for Doc.
Lastly, the tome ends with a marvelous novella called "The Steps". We finally get a look this wonderful couple's friends and see how they deal with sex, meeting people, relationships and all the other fun things in life.
More smiles from Canada's famous gay couple!.......1996-12-12
Again, Sean shows how the everyday life of a gay couple
is filled with its ups and downs and humour. Sean takes us
through a wide range of situations including the infamous
'gay bashing' series as well as dealing with issues such
as AIDS. At the end of this book, Sean gives us a little
narrated story about 'The Steps' in front of the Second
Cup at Church and Wellesley. A recommended purchase for die
hard Doc & Raider fans!

Book Description
In the 19th century, more so than now, work shaped people's lives. The nature and variety of their labor governed where and how they lived. The main theme of this wide-ranging analytical narrative is how the lives of the working class changed in Britain between 1830 and 1914. Few groups of workers were unaffected by the transformation of the economy; for most, the impact was profound. In a study that deploys a range of primary material and takes account of recent historical writings, the authors examine the nature of the changes that took place and their consequences. The treatment is thematic, while ensuring that a clear account is given of how workers' economic, social, and cultural lives were subject to change.

Tales of the South by William Gilmore Simms
ASIN: 1570035962 |
Book Description
In the first reissue of these documents since 1865, A City Laid Waste captures in riveting detail the destruction of South Carolina's capital city as Gen. William T. Sherman brought his scorched-earth campaign to a hotbed of secession. William Gilmore Simms, a native South Carolinian and one of the nation's foremost men of letters, was in Columbia and witnessed firsthand the city's capture and destruction. A renowned novelist and poet who was also an experienced journalist and historian, Simms deftly recorded the events of February 1865 in a series of eyewitness accounts published in the first ten issues of the Columbia Phoenix. Later that year, he edited the Phoenix text, curbing some of his immediate outrage, and published the material as a pamphlet, Sack and Destruction of the City of Columbia, S.C. Reprinted here in its entirety and illustrated with a collection of drawings and photographs, the newspaper version of Simms's account! offers an unparalleled view into the horrors of invasion on American soil.
Simms walked the fire-ravaged streets, interviewing Columbia residents and Union troops. His record of burned buildings constitutes the most authoritative information available on the extent of the damage. In addition he cataloged widespread looting, atrocities committed against women, the brutal treatment of former slaves by Union soldiers, and the destruction of historically significant documents, works of art, artifacts, and relics.
Describing the account as a Southern masterpiece, Simms historian David Aiken provides both a historical and literary context for Simms's reportage. In his introduction Aiken clarifies the significance of Simms's articles and draws attention to important factors for understanding the occupation's impactthe cultural prosperity enjoyed in Columbia prior to Sherman's arrival, the enormity of the invasion itself, the sufferings of the city's residents, and the efforts to cover up crimes and discredit witnesses such as Simms who dared to report atrocities.

Primary Document Finally Available.......2006-01-24
This eye-witness account of US troop atrocities on civilians can no longer be hidden. Scholars may have had an excuse for ignoring it, but now that excuse is removed by this easily available, beautifully produced university press edition. The majority of the so-called historians who have attributed the burning of Columbia SC to accident, alcohol, burning cotton, etc., are now shown to be the apologist propagandists for a sanitized American history that they most surely are. In contrast to the eye-witness account, their work now appears laughable. How can we take these "historians" seriously in anything else they do? Truth has a way of getting outside its bottle, and like the genie, it can't be put back. Congratulations to the editor and press for a job well done.

Customer Reviews:
A good book, but..........2005-01-27
I have the first edition book from 1986, maybe the book changed since. The photos are black and white, not very useful ! We can't really agree with his identification of birds : colors are essential to identify a bird !
It is the only mistake, but a very bad one.
A NICE AND USEFUL STUDY ON EGYPTIAN BIRDS.......2000-11-17
This rather expensive (but worthy) book aims to be an all-covering research on all of the bird-species existing at the times of the Pharaohs. The author have had recourse to every representation and hieroglyphic sign, in order to provide good-grounded identification with present-day nomenclature. But he has not limited himself to that; he also has researched in the role that birds played in ancient Egyptian religion and everyday life. Moreover, he has provided us with a systematic list of modern Egyptian birds, their Arabic names and even with a comparison between their present range with that in ancient times. Last, but not the least: it is profusely illustrated, so as to be a joy for the eyes. A very valuable manual, both for "birds-enthusiasts", general reader and students/professionals of ancient Egypt.

Book Description
This fascinating book describes the excavation and preservation of three early Roman villas in Egyptâs ancient port city of Alexandria. Chronicling the work of the Polish Archaeological Mission in Alexandria, Villa of the Birds is an engaging and informative account of how these ancient dwellings were unearthed, and how the famous mosaic floors were brought to light two thousand years after they were laid.
With the expert guidance of the archaeologists responsible for the excavation, the reader is led through layers of clues reaching ten meters below todayâs street level, and to an in-depth appreciation of this extraordinary siteâs rich history.
Drawing directly on their work with the Polish Archaeological Mission, the authors describe in detail the excavation of the housing areas, as well as the baths, the gymnasia, and the theater that comprise the villa complex.
Villa of the Birds reconstructs not only the villas themselves, with their magnificent mosaics, but also the history of how they were built and used, and ultimately how they were destroyed by fire. The book is richly illustrated with detailed floor plans as well as spectacular color photographs of the mosaics themselves.
