Book Description
The European country of Slorenia is dead. Every man, woman, and child eliminated with the cold precision of a machine. And out of the flaming remnants of this tiny Baltic state comes a message from its murderer: Mankind's days are numbered because Ultron has returned! He - or it - is one of the Avengers' oldest, most implacable foes, menacing humanity countless times. But never before has Ultron been this dangerous, this deadly. Now, he stands on the brink of committing global genocide, and rebuilding Earth in his own robotic images. Our only hope is a desperate U.N. strike on Slorenia, led by the Avengers themselves. But will it be in time? Will the strength and courage of Earth's Mightiest Heroes be enough in the face of such overwhelming evil? For the sake of the world, it will have to be! Plus: When you're an Avenger, you're one of Earth's Mightiest Heroes - the first line of defense against the dangers no conventional foe could halt, the threats no ordinary man could withstand. Threats including Dominex, Lord Templar, Pagan, and the Thunderbolts! Collects Avengers #12-22, #0 and Annual 1999.Customer Reviews:

Foxtrot at its best.......2004-04-06
This book is the second anthology of FoxTrot comic strips. Therefore, the characters have already been established, but the jokes and the storylines are still original. Among the notable storylines in this issue are a series of strips where Peter and his girlfriend Denise almost break up and a series where Jason and his friend Marcus have an essay writing contest. References to pop culture are interspersed throughout the book. The stories are still able to occasionally touch on serious, dramatic issues yet remain lighthearted. As an added bonus, the end of the book features a "comic book by Jason Fox" of Slug Man, a parody of Bat Man. FoxTrot fans should definitely own this book, but casual comic strip readers would also enjoy reading this collection of strips.

Robert Johnson: LOST AND FOUND (Music in American Life)
Barry Lee Pearson , and Bill McCulloch Manufacturer: University of Illinois Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 025202835X |
Book Description
With just forty-one recordings to his credit, Robert Johnson (1911-38) is a giant in the history of blues music. Johnson's vast influence on twentieth-century American music, combined with his mysterious death at the age of twenty-seven, has allowed speculation and myths to obscure the facts of his life. The most famous of these legends depicts a young Johnson meeting the Devil at a dusty Mississippi crossroads at midnight and selling his soul in exchange for prodigious guitar skills.In this volume, Barry Lee Pearson and Bill McCulloch examine the full range of writings about Johnson and sift fact from fiction. They compare conflicting accounts of Johnson's life, weighing them against interviews with blues musicians and others who knew the man. Through their extensive research Pearson and McCulloch uncover a life every bit as compelling as the fabrications and exaggerations that have sprung up around it. In examining Johnson's life and music, and the ways in which both have been reinvented and interpreted by other artists, critics, and fans, Robert Johnson: Lost and Found charts the broader cultural forces that have mediated the expression of African American artistic traditions.

Ya Basta! Ten Years of the Zapatista Uprising
Subcomandante Insurgente Marcos , Noam Chomsky , and Naomi Klein Manufacturer: AK Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 1904859135 |
Book Description
"The world has a new kind of hero, one who listens more than speaks, who preaches in riddles not in certainties, a leader who doesn't show his face, who says his mask is really a mirror. And in the Zapatistas, we have not one dream of a revolution but a dreaming revolution."-Naomi Klein
The most comprehensive collection of essays and communiques by Subcomandante Marcos chronicles the written voice of the Zapatista movement and its struggle to open a space within the neoliberal, globalized landscape for the oppressed peoples of the world. Complete from their first public appearance in 1994 through their 10-year anniversary celebrations and period of restructuring in 2004.
"The Zapatista uprising in Chiapas was certainly one of the most dramatic and important instances in our time of a genuine grassroots movement against oppression. In this volume, the writings of Subcomandante Marcos give eloquent expression to this movement, revealing both its philo-sophical foundations and its tactical ingenuity. I believe his words and the statements of the Zapatistas can inspire a new generation of activists and let them understand that it is possible for ordinary people, without military power, without wealth, to challenge state power successfully on behalf of social justice. [This] fantastic collection of Marcos' words conveys the spirit of the Zapatistas as no other book I know has done."-Howard Zinn
"After over 500 years of conquest, the indigenous -people already know what the rest of us must learn about empires: that they exploit the many for the privileges of the few, that they ransack the cultures of antiquity, that they place a burden even on the mother countries. But in their actions and writings, the Zapatistas are inspiring a new generation to join the struggle for a better world. It's our world too!"-Tom Hayden

A Bird Lover's Life List & Journal
Boston Museum of Fine Arts Manufacturer: Bulfinch Pr ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0821221388 |
Customer Reviews:
A magnificent journal that will last a lifetime!.......2004-05-31
Unlike the check-off lists in the back of the field guides, where there is barely room for the date the bird was seen, this handsome volume has the common and scientific names for each species, little check-off boxes for whether you saw it or heard it (or both), a line each for the date, location, and habitat, along with extra lines for any further remarks. The margins are nice and wide, too, allowing for yet more comments, and there's some blank pages in the back. I use those for my secondary list of birds we have seen on our hobby farm in Minnesota (87 species to date.)
In the 12 years I've had my copy of this journal, I have entered plenty of notes. Paging through the book is a double delight, both for the fond memories and the gorgeous reproductions of 48 Audubon paintings. In addition to the artwork, there's a nice intro by Norman Boucher, some marginal quotations from Audubon's journals, and updated remarks about endangered species and subspecies. The order of the bird list follows the 1983 American Onithologist's Union (A.O.U.) Checklist of north American Birds. There's also an index, so you can locate a species quickly.
The book itself measures 10 1/4 x 7 1/4 inches, with a library quality binding, a full-color textbook-type cover (i.e., no dust cover) and heavy glossy pages that will last a lifetime. It's a bit bulky to carry along on birdwalks, but that's not how I use it anyway. I keep this book at home on the shelf, safe from the many perils of the trail (such as today's rain!) When I sight a new bird, I transfer the entry from my field notes when I get back. I do find that fresh ballpoint ink smears on the slick paper if you're not careful, but this problem is easily solved. Simply insert a piece of typing paper between the pages until the ink dries. This is a small inconvenience compared to the permanence of the book. I plan to pass my copy down as a family heirloom.
