I am painting great eyes..........2002-08-26

Thanks to this book! The physical quality of the book is fairly low for the money (I would call it an oversize phamplet), but the content is great. The instructions are clear and the illustrations are very good. The eyes on my pieces have improved in leaps. I can't wait to get the rest of her books.

Very disappointed.......2002-04-22

I am truly sorry, but I must say that after spending [...] and change on this book I was shocked at what I saw. The spiral binding is not a big deal but the entire book is so low in quality it's appalling! The pages are absolutely copy machine quality and they are not even good! The headers are discolored and the graphics, especially the animal graphics are too dark and inky looking. The writing was very simplistic - dont expect to get natural looking eyes from this book. Some of the headers copied so light you can barely read them. I just want everyone to know what they will be getting when they purchase this book - I dont think it was worth it at all. Sorry.

Paulette Morrissey strikes gold with ceramics enthusiasts!.......1999-01-08

this is a great book for anyone learning how to paint ceramics. This is the 4th book that I've bought by Paulette Morrissey, and I've had the pleasure of meeting up with her at a ceramics show(and I only put my foot in my mouth once or twice!)a while ago, she also gave a live demonstration to a fairly large group of ceramic enthusiasts, and she really does know her craft. If you want to paint better eyes- than this is a perfect book for you.

Customer Review.......2002-10-23

I picked up "My Wife Has All the Answers" this morning when I was doing the dusting, and sat down for just a minute to browse through. Some time later, about 3/4 the way through the book, I came back to earth and my husband had the laundry done, and my daughter had rearranged the living room around me. I hadn't even noticed.

I had read that far before I even remembered to put on my bifocals!

I really got a kick out of what I read because I could identify so easily with these stories.

I laughed until I cried when I read about Sandra's thermostat......and the reference to Scotty at the controls......My husband certainly could understand that chapter! Mike Parker is NOT the only one to trade cars with the climate controls worn out!

I'm ready for volume two, The Answers My Wife Doesn't Have.....

Tyson Family Review.......2002-10-23

You'll Laugh, You'll Cry, You'll Love This Book.......2002-10-07

You'll laugh and you'll cry all right. Sometimes at the same time. MY WIFE HAS ALL THE ANSWERS, a collection of newspaper columnist Mike Parker's best work, is a pure delight from start to finish. Parker's musings on family, marriage, politics, sports; indeed, the joys and tribulations of everyday life, are alternately poignant and hilarious.

Parker's take on his home life with wife Sandra and their four children will often have you hyperventilating with laughter (and, those of you who are parents, smiling knowingly).

But be careful when Parker talks about his grandchildren. You just might saturate the pages with tears.

Parker's views on politics and current events will have you nodding in agreement, and wondering why his common sense ideas are so difficult for those in local, state, and national government to grasp.

MY WIFE HAS ALL THE ANSWERS is a book for the ages. Mike Parker has put together a manual of universal truth that will be just as amusing and topical 20 years from now as it is today.

My sentiments exactly.......2006-06-01

This is an amazingly eye opening book for those who yearn to learn of the TRUE roots of American capitalism. Two prerequisites in order to enjoy this book: A) an open mind and B) an optimum outlook on change in society. Read this book and enjoy!

Few books truly change your life.......2003-01-20

This one changed mine. I urge all young women of color to read this book while you are still in high school or college. Do that for yourself. I urge all other humans to read it as soon as you can. It's the seminal work of bell hooks career, which continues to enlighten and enrich all of us. Unlike some other "classic" works, it deserves the designation, for it remains as timely today as it was at publication.

Her observations are wise. Her grasp of history is absolute. Her ideas stimulate intelligent and loving thought, conversation, and action. Read this book.

Here is where it all began.......2001-04-11

Those who would dismiss Hook's scholarship and arguments as substandard are truly threatened by the radical observations she makes about the world and black women's relationship to it and in it.

The "Clif Notes" version Hooks has been maligned for by her critics have been practiced openly by white feminists (and predominantly white groups) so I honestly cannot see what the criticism is about unless it is the particular ideas themselves and not the way they are phrased. Hook's work is radical because it forces readers to deal with the less than favorable aspects of American history.

Confronting the real truth about America and the way it has historically treated and maligned women of color (and how they moblized against this) can be a challenging read, but only if the reader comes in with a defensive mind, prepared to discount the work anyway. Individuals with an open mind should love the pages of this now-classic work.

I have always loved this book and it's practical insights on gender roles and a multifaceted approach to reproductive rights. Although Hooks is pro-choice, she reminds us that legalized abortion should be only one aspect of reproductive rights, and freedom from sterilzation abuse and full information on contraceptives is also important. It is a testament to Hooks and other activists that this paradigm has been adopted by the general feminist movement.

True women's liberation involves the liberation of all women from all artificially constructed notions about gender and ethnicity. While we as a nation have historically seen the civil rights movement as primarily for black men, and the feminist movement as being for white women, we have silenced and subjugated the black feminist who has one foot in each of these communities and is going to weave together her own experiences.

Exposing the Dynamics Behind the Devaluation.......2000-12-06

I love this book! I think she had done an excellent job on dissecting the classist, racist, sexist structures that have kept black and mixed black women at the bottom of all the racial/class/gender hierarchy. She wrote a chapter about how privileged white women historically used their racial and class privileges to block black and other women of color(mexican, american indian,puerto rican) from access to wealth, power, influence, and especially, upward mobility. They also blocked poor and working class white women(to a lesser extent, for they also have white skin privilege like their sisters)from realizing their potential. Privileged white women just want to preserve their privileges they obtain and keep other women from having them. White feminists tend to protect the status quo, mainly privileged white christian heterosexual men. For example, the Anita Hill case. It have brought far more changes in politics and, once again, white women have benefited more than black women(new 2001 Senate will have 13 women, all white).
As for the antimiscegnation laws, I knew they were originally enacted to prevent white men to marry black women. If a lot of powerful white men were to marry black women and other women of color besides east asian and mexican women, white power will be gone for good. Which was the reason why American media didn't covered the royal wedding of the Prince of Liechtenstein and the black Panamanian woman. They do not like to see black women taking their cherished places as wives of powerful white men. Bell Hooks have done an excellent job on her book. I hope I look forward to see her publishing more of her works soon.

Useful but rudimentary; like a cliff notes to other thinkers.......2000-09-24

The phenomenon that is bell hooks is both interesting and necessary. She has popularised political discussion, extending her hand outside of accademia in powerful ways. So why the single star? Because in evaluating a book like this, it is iimportant to evaluate the originality and rigor of a writer/scholar's work. bell hooks is wonderful at one thing: paraphrasing original thinkers, and that is simply inexcusable. Original feminist thinkers on race (many of who hooks shamelessly borrows from) are Toni Cade Bambara, Michelle Wallace, Hazel Carby, Toni Morrison, Angela Davis... there a long list, and bell hooks does not hold up to them under any kind of scrutiny. Her often true assertions are superficially considered and her clumsy prose resembles that of a beginning idealogue, not a careful and crafty writer/thinker.

Book Description

In Volume 12, eminent international ornithologists further elucidate endocrinological correlates of mating strategies and hormones and reproductive behavior; assess the value of the ''brood reduction hypothesis'' in explaining ''the paradox of hatching asynchrony''; and explore the validity and sensitivity of growth bands in feathers as an indication of nutritional condition and the use of feather banding in studying growth. Chapters are well supported with charts, maps, schematic diagrams, and photographs. Current Ornithology is the only English-language publication currently devoted exclusively to extensive reviews and synthesis of topics pertaining to all aspects of the biology of birds. Chapters fall under such diverse rubrics as ecology, evolution, behavior, phylogeny, behavioral ecology, anatomy and physiology, and conservation biology. All authors are leading authorities on their subjects, and each chapter is refereed by experts in the topics covered. Although all chapters focus primarily on birds, some topics, such as the social cognition of birds as compared to primates (Volume 13), have significant application to disciplines outside of ornithology. Current Ornithology aims to provide an accessible, up-to-date, accurate source of data and to contribute to conceptual generalization and unification across the biological sciences.

Book Description

Current Ornithology publishes authoritative, up-to-date, scholarly reviews of topics selected from the full range of current research in avian biology. Topics cover the spectrum from the molecular level of organization to population biology and community ecology. The series seeks especially to review 1) fields in which abundant recent literature will benefit from synthesis and organization, 2) newly emerging fields that are gaining recognition as the result of recent discoveries or shifts in perspective, and 3) fields in which students of vertebrates may benefit from comparisons of birds with other classes. All chapters are invited, and authors are chosen for their leadership in the subjects under review.
