Amazing Range.......2005-09-14
GIANT flexes mad style in several mediums. First and foremost, he's got fine line tattoo flash art and tattoos down to a science and this book documents that work faithfully. What's the most amazing thing about the body of work in MANIFESTATIONS is that GIANT is also the master of pen and ink illustration (as seen in many of the Zines he put out through his own Skullz Press), has a dope graff style and has a good eye behind the camera lens as well.

Book Description
Unique treasury of original stained glass designs with distinctive contemporary flair. Graceful, classical patterns comprised of squares, circles, rectangles, and others are framed by ovals, diamonds, irregular shapes. All are easily adaptable to projects of varying sizes — windows, mirrors, mobiles, jewelry settings, more.
Customer Reviews:
Simple and basic.......2006-06-17
The book has a few interesting designs; most are pretty simplistic sketches, likely aimed at a (very) young or beginning glassworker. A more ambitious stained glass enthusiast might get more benefit from another work.
Of limited use.
.......1998-02-03
Unfortunately, this book is not up to the standards usually expected from Dover. There are alot of designs in this book, but as a professional artist of twenty years, I have found only a few to be of artistic merit. The book appears to have been compiled from an artist's collection of "thumbnails" and not finished work. Don't worry Dover. I'm still a fan.

Book Description
A provocative analysis of the theories of Marx, Foucault, and Derrida
Amazon.com
When U.S. citizens were urged to "buy American" in the early 1930s in order to boost the national economy, African American thinkers such as Robert Abbott were quick to point out the irony: "Certainly we'll buy America first," he wrote, and went on to list the many products he'd now be buying--like steak dinner in a restaurant and theater tickets--which he had never been allowed to buy because of segregation laws. Not all Americans were as savvy as Abbott, however, and a tradition of "economic nationalism" that excluded from free trade almost as many within the borders of the United States as it did without enjoyed some success in those years, as it had in the years leading up to the American Revolution. Post-segregation, "Buy American" has become, among other things, an empty slogan for businesses who wish to appeal to patriotic sensibilities (like Wal-Mart, which just happens to also have "Buy Canadian" and "Buy Mexican" campaigns for its stores in those countries). In Buy American, Dana Frank advocates a "celebration" of the democratic ideal of such economic movements while refocusing the idea of "protectionism" to boost not simply corporate profits but the global interests of working people. This book is ripe with ideas, and so engagingly written that even chapters on 18th-century trade wars and 19th-century tariffs make for lively reading. --Maria Dolan
Book Description
Are imports really to blame for disappearing American jobs? Tracing the history and politics of economic nationalism from the American Revolution to the present, labor historian Dana Frank demonstrates how "Buy American" campaigns are not a new idea. This entertaining story is full of surprises, including misguided heroes, chilling racism, and more than a few charlatans. Frank contributes a much needed new approach to the old debate between free trade and protectionism. She outlines a strategy that would serve the needs of working Americans instead of the interests of corporations and economic elites.
Customer Reviews:
Thorough Treatment of a Fascinating Topic.......2003-06-27
This book is a gem. Frank details how nationalism in the marketplace has been bought, sold and manipulated by interested parties over the course of American history. Yet her approach is even-handed, thought-provoking, and most importantly, solidly written with a stlye you just can't put down. Her facts are meticulously referenced, and her storytelling entertaining. I highly recommend the text. Get it from the library if need be!

Book Description
Welcome to a heart-warming tale by author Angelique M. McGee that will surely inspire. This is the true story of Angelique's turbulent childhood, following her parents' divorce, and how one special person helped shape her life through it all--her grandmother, Maxine. Angelique takes you on a personal journey during the summers she spent as a child with her grandmother in Oregon and shares the many valuable lessons she learned along the way. However, Angelique's perception of her grandmother is tested when she later learns a startling secret from her past. Though, after this secret is unburied, it only strengthens Angelique's belief that the Lord works in mysterious ways. Angelique M. McGee offers a spell-binding tale that stresses the importance of learning, loving, and living--the special seasonings that make "the cake of life".

innocent story and strait to the heart.......2005-12-15
gold old-fashioned story, I would recommend it, especially to the older generation of people.
Book Description
Designed to operate in a Windows Help format, the CD-ROM version of Combat Fleets 2002-2003 allows rapid access to specific information and fast navigation between countries, ship types, and classes. Information can be retrieved through three easy navigational tools. First, the table of contents lists information in a format much like that of Windows Explorer, with all the subjects in files under each folder (country). For the second navigational tool, data is located through an index function that contains key words for ships, aircraft, and systems listed alphabetically. The final tool is a search function that allows the user to enter a key word. It's that simple. Once a topic is selected it appears in a display window on the right of the screen so that the user can see the requested information while having access to other topics.
Like previous editions, this new version includes copy-and-paste features for the text and more than 4,000 photographs and 175 line drawings. These nearly all-new illustrations can be retrieved through a click-to-view command or by going to the image file via the table of contents. The CD-ROM continues to provide a pronunciation feature for ship names, as well as a conversion calculator for converting numeric values.
Customer Reviews:
Excellent.......2002-05-07
Very comprehensive, though some of the descriptions are quite short; the major ships are covered well but some of the smaller ones are not, although it is likely that that information is not available. Overall, a recommended purchase if you are interested in this field, though I would purchase the newer version.
Review For 2000-2001 Combat Fleets of The World.......2000-06-07
In general, it is a good book. It is a cheaper alternative to Jane's Fighting Ships, a good guide for warships but at $530 a copy very expensive. In addition to being a catalog of warships for each of the navies of the world, this book also talks about in depth about the weapons, electronic systems, and aircrafts that each of the world's navies uses. This is also an advantage that this book has over Jane's Fighting Ships since Jane's mostly focus on the warships and briefly on the weapons, electronic systems, and aircrafts for the world's navies. This book also has an addedum section for each of the world's navies, something Jane's Fighting Ships does not have.
However, there is no color photographs in this book, only black and white photographs. Some of the description of the warships are a little too brief; some don't even have a schematic for them.
Overall, I would recommend this book with the above mentioned reservation.

Everybody knows about the CIA--the cloak-and-dagger branch of the U.S. government. Many fewer are familiar with the National Security Agency, even though it has been more important to American espionage in recent years than its better-known counterpart. The NSA is responsible for much of the intelligence gathering done via technology such as satellites and the Internet. Its home office in Maryland "contains what is probably the largest body of secrets ever created."
Little was known about the agency's confidential culture until veteran journalist James Bamford blew the lid off in 1982 with his bestseller The Puzzle Palace. Still, much remained in the shadows. In Body of Secrets, Bamford throws much more light on his subject--and he reveals loads of shocking information. The story of the U-2 crisis in 1960 is well known, including President Eisenhower's decision to tell a fib to the public in order to protect a national-security secret. Bamford takes the story a disturbing step forward, showing how Eisenhower "went so far as to order his Cabinet officers to hide his involvement in the scandal even while under oath. At least one Cabinet member directly lied to the committee, a fact known to Eisenhower." Even more worrisome is another revelation, from the Kennedy years: "The Joint Chiefs of Staff drew up and approved plans for what may be the most corrupt plan ever created by the U.S. government. In the name of anticommunism, they proposed launching a secret and bloody war of terrorism against their own country in order to trick the American public into supporting an ill-conceived war they intended to launch against Cuba."
Body of Secrets is an incredible piece of journalism, and it paints a deeply troubling portrait of an agency about which the public knows next to nothing. Fans of The Sword and the Shield will want to read it, as will anybody who is intrigued by conspiracies and real-life spy stories. --John J. Miller
Book Description
The National Security Agency is the world’s most powerful, most far-reaching espionage. Now with a new afterword describing the security lapses that preceded the attacks of September 11, 2001,
Body of Secrets takes us to the inner sanctum of America’s spy world. In the follow-up to his bestselling Puzzle Palace, James Banford reveals the NSA’s hidden role in the most volatile world events of the past, and its desperate scramble to meet the frightening challenges of today and tomorrow.
Here is a scrupulously documented account–much of which is based on unprecedented access to previously undisclosed documents–of the agency’s tireless hunt for intelligence on enemies and allies alike. Body of secrets is a riveting analysis of this most clandestine of agencies, a major work of history and investigative journalism.

Body of Secrets Review.......2007-07-26
Tremendous read for anyone interested in espionage, cryptology, significant historic world events, etc.
Simply stated, for history buffs, this type of knowledge of what goes on behind the scenes is truly fascinating. From the events surrounding the Cuban missle crisis, the reckless mass flyover of Russian airspace by spy planes, oceanic and other listening posts, and the sinking of the Liberty, this book is a veritable library documenting the history and development of the NSA.
excellent, comprehensive history of the NSA.......2006-08-31
as a relative newcomer to books on our intelligence community, Body of Secrets is an excellent choice for those of us who are looking for a substantive, easily comprehended history of the NSA, as well as the juicy scoops mentioned by Mr. Steele below.
Especially interesting are the challenges that the NSA faces from the mutiplying growth of telecommunications- i.e. in fiber optic networks, which have created a shift from our traditional tether-based eavesdropping activity. Alot of food for thought here, and a very satisfying read.
Brilliant Accounts of the hidden side of American history.......2006-06-25
This book was like an American history lesson of the 20th century, telling the side of the news that was always hidden buy always an integral part of world affairs. Many of the tales are "war stories" told from sources who clearly are retired intellence officers, so there is a focus on the dramatic events where boats were sinking or lives were on the line, although the book notes that much of the work of the NSA was dilligently listening to distinctive radar pings and other telltale signals intellegence throughout the cold war. Fascinating and eye-opening book ~ highly recommended, especially in light of recent world events that have focused so much attention on how important our secret intellegence services really are!
In God we trust, all others we monitor.......2006-05-18
This book explains the functioning of the ultra-secret spy organization, the National Security Agency (NSA = No Such Agency), in a more or less hagiographic way: its enormous budget (equals a Fortune 50 company), its employees (still a shortage of linguists), its recruitment system, its information storage capacity (5 trillion pages, 1.6 million data tapes, of which some are kept eternally), its information gathering (can intercept electronic mail sent by Cisco routers, a former Cisco engineer is an NSA technical advisor), its computer brain.
The author criticizes the NSA for eavesdropping on the international communications of US citizens (already in 1975!) and for spying on US citizens (protests against the Vietnam war).
Its ultra-secrecy can create Kafkaeske situations: an immigrant was arrested and put illegally in solitary confinement for three years without knowing exactly why (the reason was a secret).
The author is heavily critical for the military ('Restless from a decade of peace, out of touch with reality, the Joint Chiefs of Staff were desperate for a war, any war.') and for the Pentagon, because it deceives the public ('trumping up wars for Americans to fight and die was standard, approved policy at the highest levels of the Pentagon.')
These authorities together with intelligence agencies created or proposed to create incidents to provoke war (the Tonkin Gulf incident, the Pueblo affair or operation Northwoods - a proposition to organize a secret campaign of terrorism within the US in order to blame Castro!).
James Bamford's work contains excellent information but it is far too detailed (e.g. the USS Liberty affair) and far too long.
MUST READING!!!.......2006-05-13
This expose of THE NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCY is MUST reading for ALL thinking Americans.That eliminates the 29% of the population that still back Prez. Bush-Especially read about the "Kennedy era OPERATION NORTHWOODS" proposed by The Joint Chiefs of Staff.That alone should make doubtful the Governments explaination of 9-1-1.
