His Face: Images of Christ in Art.......2002-08-27

This is a phenominal book! I bought it in 1996 as an X-ms gift and got one for myself. The pictures are stunning and depict the variety of images we know and love as Christ from the ages. It is my favorite coffee-table book, and off-season, it keeps my bible company. Out of print now, it is well worth the higher price of a used edition. All glory to him!

Book Description

Frank Bank's story is a sometimes wild, sometimes bawdy, often poignant, always funny account of a real-life Louie Louie who led a nation to California-dreamin'.

Call Me Lumpy, I'M Full of Myself.......2007-08-30

I was very disappointed in this book, I expected it to cover his Leave it to Beaver days it does touch upon them very lightly at the beginning of the book but in a very superficial and unsatisfying manner. He basically declares who was "cool" and who wasn't on the show, big deal. Mostly he talks about his endless womanizing how he laid over a 1000 women, again superficially, how smart he is, how popular he is, what a great poker player he is, what a great stock picker he is, basically this is a self indulgent brag piece for Frank Bank written with the skill of a high school turn paper "what I did last summer". In my book this one would successfully compete for the title of one of the worst books of all times.

Could have been better.......2005-09-23

I was a little let down bt this book.
I bought the book expecting to read a lot about life on the leave it to beaver show.
but there is very little about beaver in this book. I think Frank could have made this book more interesting if he would of written more about the show and cast. I am now looking forward to reading Jerry Mathers book maybe I will read a little more on the show.

Good for the Lump.......2004-08-12

I enjoyed this light-hearted look at the difficulties of being a star on TV, in the good old days when the classic NIck at Nite sitcoms were being produced--which were also the bad old days when talented young actors were barred from getting residuals or misused in minor parts like Frank Bank. Well, he was living proof of the old adage that there are no small parts, just small actors, and he was never small.

An appealing potato-like boy, he wasn't really bad looking, he just paled next to the boy god Tony Dow, like the moon disappearing when the sun comes out. I'm not surprised he had so much luck with the ladies--just surprised he saw fit to reveal it all in this book which should be rated NC-17. And good for him for staying financially solvent when so many of his ilk went bankrupt. He had a head on his shoulders as well as a grin on his goofy face, Long live the "Lump."

I feel disloyal by writing this.......2004-03-13

I am not just a very big fan of Leave it to Beaver, but I am also interested in 1950's culture and nostalgia. I did like the first few chapters. Fred Bank (so I'm not calling him Lumpy) writes about some great LTB behind the scenes shenanigans that made what I paid for the book worthwhile. Chapter three is the beginning of the rest of the book, mostly about his sexual exploits and how he started every cool trend in California during his day. That's why I am only giving it two stars-- I can only recommend the beginning of the book.

I worried about writing this. I wondered, what if "Lumpy" reads this review?? I'm such a LTB fan!!! But then I realized after reading his book that his ego isn't in danger of being injured. So, I would recommend buying this book for the first two chapters only.

Now, if only Tony Dow would write HIS book! :)

Beaver-Lovers Beware.......2002-12-03

I only gave this one star because [Amazon.com's] format doesn't allow for zero stars. Frank Bank is like one of those irritating guys you meet at airport bars when your flight is delayed: on his sixth Scotch-rocks, won't shut up. Every topic that comes up he was there, he had the first one, everybody copied him, he had the best, the biggest, the coolest. What's saddest about this exercise in mind-numbing ego is that Bank apparently doesn't realize that the only thing interesting about him is his involvement in "Leave it to Beaver," to which he devotes very few pages and about which he gives absolutely no insight. He doesn't even get the details right in what little he says about the series: Wally and the Beaver did not go apologize to Mr. Rutherford after putting barrel hoops in his driveway, Ward (in a scene that takes place off camera) worked things out with Rutherford, which is the whole point of the show (since it was Ward who gave them the barrel hoop idea in the first place). But of course, accuracy is not anything Bank cares about, what matters to him is that this was the first episode in which Frank Bank appeared (one wonders if he ever bothered to read the rest of the script). Although Bank had a co-writer, Gib Twyman, "an award winning former sportswriter," this is possibly the worst written book I've ever read. There are no paragraphs, just short, repetitive, jargon-filled sentences (fills more pages that way, I guess). Jerry Mathers' book ("And Jerry Mathers as the Beaver") may not have been any work of art, but at least he respected what brought readers to the book. Bank does not. It's no surprise when, in a late chapter, he reveals that he's the President of the alumni organization of his high school social club, The Knights (the coolest guys on campus, of course). Bank -- emotionally and perceptually -- is still in high school. Don't waste your time or money on this flatulent, boring piece of self-inflation.

I kid you not - the best book ever on Hollywood........2001-11-29

Before Ben Stein because the famous voice or commercial pitchman or game show host, he struggled around the fringes of the film business. Because, in addition to being lured out to Hollywood by Norman Lear (All in the Family, Maude, The Jeffersons, for those of you too young to remember), he graduated at the top of his class at Yale Law School, was a speechwriter for Richard Nixon, worked as a lawyer for the FTC, and is the son of well-known economist Herbert Stein (also an excellent writer), Stein's diaries about life in Hollywood are not the usual fare. The book is hilarious, informative, and also tells - back when it really happened without the perspective of later history - the story about how Ben Stein was "discovered" by Hollywood. It was purely by accident that he got his break in Ferris Buehler's Day Off, but those accidents are part of the fabric of Hollywood. Stein does a wonderful job putting it all in perspective.

Book Description

In 525 B.C., the Persian king Cambyses sent fifty thousand soldiers across the conquered Egyptian desert to take an oasis city not far from where the Libyan border stands today. According to Greek history, a hurricane-force sandstorm struck near the end of their six-hundred-mile trek. The army - all fifty thousand men - vanished without a single trace. Fast forward to 1986. A British archaeological team, sent to the edge of the Great Sand Sea to exhume evidence of the incident, has also gone missing. It's up to Hellboy to find the missing Brits and to discover what became of The Lost Army. This illustrated novel is written by Christopher Golden, best-selling author of the book of Saints and Shadows. Hellboy creator Mike Mignola has done sixty-eight black-and-white illustrations for the story.

A weak business writing treatise.......2006-11-08

This book offers nothing unique or insightful about business writing. It is meant solely as an academic primer for business students. This fact is reflected in the sections on basic grammar and citation format. The book contains some useful examples of various types of reports. However, it does not contain the data used to generate those reports. Thus, the reader has no understanding of the vetting process that went into the examples. This book is too basic for serious professionals and it is likely an annoying necessity for business students. Buy the book used and sell it when you are done.

Product Description

This up-to-date electronic book on CD-ROM has comprehensive coverage of the U.S. Navy's fleet of Arleigh Burke-class destroyers, with extensive photo galleries. In addition, it has complete coverage of Dock Landing Ships and Mine Countermeasures Ships. This extraordinary, encyclopedic collection contains more than 16,000 pages reproduced in Adobe Acrobat PDF files. DESTROYERS - From the first U.S. destroyer commissioned in 1902 to the famous ships of World War II to the Spruance-class to the Arleigh Burke-class, the U.S. Navy's destroyers have been evolving. And that evolution continues into the 21st century with the coming of the DD(X). These fast warships provide multi-mission offensive and defensive capabilities, and can operate independently or as part of carrier battle groups, surface action groups, amphibious ready groups, and underway replenishment groups. Destroyers and guided missile destroyers operate in support of carrier battle groups, surface action groups, amphibious groups and replenishment groups. Destroyers primarily perform anti-submarine warfare duty while guided missile destroyers are multi-mission [Anti-Air Warfare (AAW), Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW), and Anti-Surface Warfare (ASUW)] surface combatants. The addition of the Mk-41 Vertical Launch System or Tomahawk Armored Box Launchers (ABLs) to many Spruance-class destroyers has greatly expanded the role of the destroyer in strike warfare. Technological advances have improved the capability of modern destroyers culminating in the Arleigh Burke (DDG 51) class. DOCK LANDING SHIPS (LSD) - Dock Landing Ships support amphibious operations including landings via Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC), conventional landing craft and helicopters, onto hostile shores. These ships transport and launch amphibious craft and vehicles with their crews and embarked personnel in amphibious assault operations. LSD 41 was designed specifically to operate LCAC vessels. It has the largest capacity for these landing cr

It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A032814. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: As the U.S. Navy seeks new and innovative ways to maximize its return from a finite budget, an evaluation of its operational practices must be done, Electrical power consumption and fuel efficiency are major factors in the Total Operating Cost (TOC) of naval ships and systems. An evaluation of an alternative mean for delivering electrical power to motors and pumps was conducted with the understanding that principles of the findings could be applied to fans as well. Adjustable Speed Drives (ASD), AC induction motors, AC synchronous motors, centrifugal pumps, and positive displacement pumps were examined. The technical challenges associated with ASDs were explored. MATLAB was used to calculate the potential power savings to be gained by introducing ASD technology to the Firemain and Chilled Water Systems. MATLAB was also used to calculate fuel cost savings from reduced consumption of Shipboard power.

It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A747083. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: The goal of this thesis is to contribute further to the development of a design tool for the modeling of dynamic progressive flooding in ships. In an earlier thesis, LT Thomas Anderson, USN, modeled a generic, mathematically describe able hull form; in this thesis the work is extended by applying his methods and generating new ones in order to accurately model an actual ship hull form, (the Arleigh Burke (DDG-51)), in a progressive flooding scenario. A secondary goal is to create an organized process, complete with any necessary programs or software, which can be applied to any hull form in the future in order to create a progressive flooding model. These goals contribute to the ultimate goal of creating a viable design tool that will allow the Naval Architect to evaluate the potential of a prototype vessel to withstand damage in a progressive flooding scenario.

Book Description

This much-awaited final volume of The Birds of British Columbia completes what some have called one of the most important regional ornithological works in North America. It is the culmination of more than 25 years of effort by the authors who, with the assistance of thousands of dedicated volunteers throughout the province, have created the basic reference work on the avifauna of British Columbia.

Volume 4 covers the last half of the passerines and describes 102 species, including the warblers, sparrows, grosbeaks, blackbirds, and finches. The text builds upon the authoritative format of the previous volumes and is supported by hundreds of full-colour illustrations, including detailed distribution maps, unique habitat shots, and beautiful photographs of the birds, their nests, eggs, and young. In addition, a species update lists and describes 27 species of birds new to the province since the first three volumes were published. The book concludes with Synopsis: The Birds of British Columbia into the 21st Century, which synthesizes data and information from all four volumes and looks at the conservation challenges facing birds in the new millennium.

The four volumes in The Birds of British Columbia provide unprecedented coverage of the region's birds, presenting a wealth of information on the ornithological history, regional environment, habitat, breeding habits, migratory movements, seasonality and distribution patterns of 472 species of birds. It is the complete reference work for birdwatchers, ornithologists and naturalists.

Customer Reviews:

TOO MUCH.......2005-10-22

This is actually a review of the entire four volume set that is The Birds of British Columbia. Clearly not restrained by limitations on space, the authors drone on endlessly. Finding useful information is like sifting river sand for gold flakes. It's there but requires a lot of work to accumulate. There are innumerable graphs, but these are just information blotted onto the pages without interpretation. One could easily get the idea that Mountain Bluebirds, for instance, are nearly as common on the south coast (where rare) as the interior (where common). Why? Because the graphs show total number of sightings, not adjusted for the overall effort (which is much higher in the populous areas around Vancouver and Victoria. The noteworthy sighting section often contains many sightings that leave me scratching my head as to why they are noteworthy. Pictures often seem included just because an author happened to have them on hand. There are lots of photos of bluebirds or phoebes nesting in manmade sites yet precious few photos of the birds themselves.

Rather than presenting every bit of data obtained, relatively unedited and undeciphered, the authors should have condensed the information into compact statements that focus on important points of status and distribution in British Columbia. The reader is left to do so on his/her own, which is at times is frankly impossible. Making all of this more onerous is the enormous size of the 4 volumes and the concurrent enormous expense.
