Book Description
Gwen likes adventure. Gwen likes bizarre. Gwen likes spice. And best-selling fetish photog Eric Kroll is there to document her every encounter, her every taste of the unusual, her sexual hunger for the different. We see her transform from sub to dom, from rubber to horse from you-name-it to God-knows-what. With Kroll¹s arresting photography and with a little narrative, we get very close to Gwen as we watch her Œplay¹.

A Fan Speaks Up!.......2002-04-27
As a serious collector of photography, I have long been a fan of Eric Kroll. His vision is erotic, exotic, sometimes bizarre, always provoking. His Gwen series is an exciting followup to his previous collections like Fetish Girls and Beauty Parade, in that here he approaches photography as sequential art, a visual approach that adds context and implied storylines to the titillating images. Kroll picks up where the art of John Willie and Eric Stanton left off, adding his photographic skills and eye for beauty, mixing in sex and eroticism, tossing in a dash of over-the-edge shock-you images. Maybe this book (and its sequel Transformations of Gwen Vol. 2) are not for the timid, but it's the cutting-edge fantasy that wet dreams are made of.
Trust me, I bought this - you WILL want to RETURN it.......2002-04-21
First of all, the photo that is displayed to represent the book is only a "page" from the book...the actual front cover looks like something a 15-year old boy might be hiding under his bed...it looks gawdy and tacky and of very poor taste.
The "stories" in here are nothing more than two-liners per page or a paragraph or two at the most on each page.
The "photos" that seem to excite the other reviewers of this book is poor (only the one shown advertised is of any good quality). The pictures are taken in bright light which makes it look like a studio. The "actors" look just that - actors. They stare into the camera like "look at me, I'm in a porn mag" - nothing seductive at all.
As if this isn't bad enough, in all of the pictures where gentials are at the remotest chance of "touching eachother", a blue saran wrap is placed between the two actors - VERY obviously seen. I mean, how incredibly tacky. If you're going to try to set the image, don't make it so obvious that you're nothing but actors - or cheap imitators in a cheesy porn rag.
Since I didn't want the hassle of returning it, I ate the cost of this book. While I proudly display my erotic library in my home, I wrappped THIS book several times in non-see through bags before tossing it in the garbage. Even the garbage man shouldn't think I get off on bad-lighted, non-attractive porn.
Yuk. Argh. Ugh. Don't bother. REALLY.
Gwen zen.......2001-06-29
Our coffee tables were never the same after the publication of the stunning Fetish Girls and its follow-up, Beauty Parade, both sadly unavailable here (although easily located around the web). Kroll's portraits of bondage and fetish activities are unique, haunting, excessive, hilarious and beautiful. His latest docudementary is filled with more of the same.
Photographic comic.......2001-06-01
With "Transformations of Gwen" Eric Kroll though of course using photography as media blends in with comic creators such as Michael Manning ("Spider Garden"), Eric Stanton and David Quinn ("Shadow and Light"). "Transformations..." is a work which erotic qualities are outstanding. There's really no need to go into technical details since Mr. Kroll has always been a master at this. What really makes this book great is the sexuality in it. This is real sex. The depictions of SM and fetishism are beautiful and it is easy to see why Mr. Kroll enjoys photographing Gwen. Besides being a beautiful woman she has the ability to make the situations very natural. There's no glossy mainstream pornmag in these photographs. Each of them would be suitable as a high quality print. A sure winner.
Pilgrams Progress - Eric Kroll.......2001-03-07
If you know Eric Kroll's work you will need to buy "Transformation of Gwen". It is the next step - the next progression in Eric's photographic journey through the world of photo-erotica. His own "Pilgram's Progress" on his photographic odessy.
I have collected Erics work for 20 years - even have a rare copy of his first book "Sex Objects" Now comes Gwen - almost a graphic novel, documenting the life of his muse.
In some ways I see Eric's roots as documentary photographer and anthropolgist showing through here. And I like it. And I can't wait for the next installment.

Snippy.......2005-07-06
For me, this was a useless piece of snippy little one-liners, aimed at making fun of aging and the aged. One-page cartoon drawings with one-liners were not the self-help offering I thought the book would be. I was not amused.
Not Funny.......2005-02-02
This is more liberal claptrap that is not funny. You can tell this was written by a woman who has a political agenda. Skip it!

A little bit dissapointed.......2007-02-20

Book Description
Born into a middle-class Afghan family in Kabul in 1980, Latifa had a conventional childhood. Then, Taliban soldiers seized power in Kabul. And from that moment, Latifa, just sixteen, became a prisoner in her own home. The simplest and most basic freedoms were forbidden. She was forced to put on a chadri, the state-mandated uniform that covered her entire body. Disbelief at having to hide herself was soon replaced by fear, the fear of being whipped or stoned like women she'd seen. My Forbidden Face provides a moving and highly personal account of life under the Taliban regime. With painful honesty and clarity, Latifa describes her ordered world falling apart, in the name of a fanaticism that she could not comprehend, and replaced by a world where terror and oppression reign.

When Home Becomes Prison.......2007-10-02
Home became prison for women when the Taliban arrived. And I don't think Taliban rule was a picnic for most men either. "Latifah" did a great job of describing the deep depression of women whose lives suddenly became worth nothing with no hope and no dreams allowed.
This book was mentioned in a reader review of the book "A Thousand Splendid Suns". A reviewer implied that that the author plagiarized "Latifah's" book. I was curious so I bought "My Forbidden Face". I see no signs of any plagiarism at all. Can't imagine what the reviewer was thinking.
Another reviewer of "My Forbidden Face" wanted to know the reasoning behind the Taliban rules so that she could understand better. The Taliban wanted to demoralize and subjugate the people for complete control. That was the reason behind every crazy pronouncement.
I have to agree that the editing was poor and the timelines confusing. I had to re-read some portions of the book because I thought I missed segments. Turns out I didn't miss anything--what I was looking for wasn't there.
Definitely worth reading for the young woman's account of what life was like in Afghanistan during that time period. Scary and heartbreaking.
A Non-Muslim American Woman's Comments.......2007-04-17
I was eager to read this book because I wanted to learn about women's experiences in Afganistan at the hands of the Taliban. The title, "My Forbidden Face: Growing Up Under the Taliban, etc", indicated to me that this would be a personal, information-packed book on the subject. But as others have already said, the book was quite sketchy regarding the information it supposedly covered. Most of the Taliban decrees that Fatima listed were shocking to me, a western woman, and I wanted to understand her plight in greater detail. But instead I ended up with more questions than answers. Why was whistling forbidden (including ridiculously, even teakettles)? Why were photographs and paintings forbidden? Why were no books except the Quran allowed (that one would kill me for sure!)? What did she and her sisters do to pass the time living basically under house arrest for 3 years (besides lay on their bed, and listen clandestinely to the BBC in the evenings)? When she taught school, what did she teach and how did she teach it? How did the children respond? I would have loved to get a more personal account of her situation than I can get reading news stories. How do the Taliban's version of Islamic rule differ from non-Taliban rule? Why would the Taliban want to get rid of women, as she stated? These questions perplex me. I want to know the truth, I want to understand more.
When she said the United States' policies in the Middle East were mistakes and mishandled, I would like to know specifically what she was referring to. I don't doubt for a minute that the U.S. has bungled things in that region, probably on a grand scale, but I truly wanted to know what she thought first hand. Instead I think maybe she was superficially stating other people's views that she may not have been old enough to process yet.
As a non-Muslim American woman, Fatima's life and religion could not have been more opposite to mine than if she lived on another planet. Maybe Fatima will write another book after she has matured a bit so that she will add a more thorough account of her experiences to help those of us living in a far different world to understand the clash between our two cultures. Because I do believe that with knowledge and understanding of the other side, a way can come to get through this mess.
Could have used a competent editor, but good effort.......2007-03-17
This book jumps around a lot. The author could have used a better editor. Since this book deals with a lot of historical aspects of growing up in Afghanistan, a linear format would have worked better than the back and forth the author uses. One day her brother's fighting the Soviets. Then he's married in another country, then he's fighting the Soviets. You get the idea. It's a little hard to keep track of who's doing what.
As to the descriptions of the author's life, however, it was pretty good, but I don't feel she adequately captured the horrors of what was going on, at least not compared to other books I've read on the subject. More detail and expansion would have been good.
However, the book was very good, especially from one so young. I do recommend it.
My Forbidden Face : Growing Up Under the Taliban - A Young Woman's Story.......2006-03-27
My Forbidden Face : Growing Up Under the Taliban - A Young Woman's Story, is a firsthand account of a young girl under the Taliban. The Book begins as 16 year old Latifa, and ends when she is twenty one. I thought this book was very well written, and very enjoyable. I thought the book was kind of fluffy, meaning that, though it gave us information about the Taliban, and what it was like living under it, it was still not giving us a lot of detail. Sure, she talks about the rights they took away from women, and the depression it caused her and millions other women in the country, but I think she could have been a bit more focused on her life before the Taliban took over Afghanistan, as it is a biography.
I do recommend this book to people who are interested in Human Rights, women in the Middle East, but I think that people who have read other books about Women's rights issues wouldn't like this book as much as someone who has just begun to take an interest in the subjects.
I highy recommend The Princess Series, by Jean Sasson, and Nine Parts of Desire, by Geraldine Brooks.
What a story!.......2006-01-14
This book provides a first-hand account of daily life in Afghanistan under the Taliban. Latifa (a pseudonym made necessary by death threats to the author and her family members) lived with her family in a middle-class area of Kabul. Her country had been at war her entire life. Over the years, Latifa and her family members struggled to be apolitical just so they could survive the frequent regime changes. One of her brothers served in the army under the Soviets, only to become a political prisoner under the regime; another was sent to university in Dushanbe, Tajikistan on a Soviet scholarship. When the Taliban took over Kabul, Latifa found herself virtually imprisoned in her apartment, forbidden by the Taliban from attending the university where she had just passed her entrance exams. Her sister had been an airline stewardess and her mother a doctor, but both were forbidden from continuing their professions. Her father was a businessman, whose Kabul warehouses were being continually destroyed in battle.
In this book, Latifa describes daily life for her family after the Taliban took control. She describes listening to edicts on the radio, forbidding women from working and girls from going to school. Women and girls were also not allowed to be treated by male doctors, and since women doctors were forbidden from practicing, this effectively shut half the population out from being able to receive any kind of health care. Women had to be covered from head to toe if they were to go out in public, and they had to be escorted by a male relative. On one of the few times Latifa dared go out of her apartment for a walk, she witnessed a horrific beating of women whose feet were covered but who had committed the apparently reprehensible crime of wearing the wrong color shoes.
At the beginning of her story, Latifa is an ordinary teenager, excited with fancy dresses and movie stars. But as the years go by, and she finds herself and all other women that she knows forbidden from participating in society in any, Latifa becomes more and more concerned with women's issues-indeed she becomes a feminist, although she had most likely never heard the term before. It's fascinating to read in her descriptions of childhood in Kabul of what a relatively normal life her family had been able to lead, despite the wars and political upheavals. This contrasts sharply with the changes brought in by the Taliban, when marriages could no longer be celebrated, and teachers could be beaten for providing lessons to little girls.
Latifa's occasional references to Dubai kept bringing back my own memories of the young Emirati women I taught there at about the same time Latifa was stuck in her apartment. In class one day at the height of Taliban power, I asked the students to construct an argument for why women should be educated. "But why?" they asked in shock. "Everyone knows women should be educated. No one would say otherwise-it's in the Q'uran." When I tried to tell them that the Taliban had forbidden women or girls from getting any kind of education in the Islamic republic of Afghanistan, they vociferously denied that this could be so. If only this book had been available then-perhaps the students might have believed Latifa's word, coming from a fellow Muslim girl, if they wouldn't believe mine. (Has it been translated into Arabic? Is it on the list of banned books for the Emirates?) This is a very-well written, gripping account of Afghani life from the point of view of an ordinary citizen, and highly recommended to anyone who wants to further their understanding of the Afghan society and attitudes towards the Taliban.
Book Description
A private venture aircraft, the much-loved Mosquito was possibly the most versatile of all British aircraft of World War II. Revolutionary in its wood construction, the de Havilland Mosquito played a vital role in the war combining the maneuverability of a fighter with the payload of a medium bomber. It contributed to the war as a fighter; an unarmed bomber, a reconnaissance aircraft and its different variants included the Sea Mosquito, the first British twin-engined aircraft to land on an aircraft carrier. De Havilland Mosquito An Illustrated History Volume 2 traces the fascinating development of the Mosquito from its construction through to operational fighter and bomber in frontline, Operational Training, Ferry and Maintenance Units. Human stories of RAF aircrew, ground crew and Commonwealth Air Forces are detailed in addition to coverage of the Mosquito operated by the Russians and that captured by the Luftwaffe. This volume is a comprehensive pictorial record of the Mosquito aircraft and the people who worked with and flew in her. Extended captions include performance tables, nose-art, advertising and a summary of preserved Mosquitoes. Aircraft numbers, specifications, dates, personalities, and background information coupled with over 500 black and white photographs, many previously unpublished and a color section, make this and its best selling companion Mosquito An Illustrated History Volume 1 a must for researchers and historians alike.

Book Description
"That Black Earth is an extraordinary work is, for anyone who has known Russia, beyond question."—George Kennan
"A compassionate glimpse into the extremes where the new Russia meets the old," writes Robert Legvold (Foreign Affairs) about Andrew Meier's enthralling new work. Journeying across a resurgent and reputedly free land, Meier has produced a virtuosic mix of nuanced history, lyric travelogue, and unflinching reportage. Throughout, Meier captures the country's present limbo—a land rich in potential but on the brink of staggering back into tyranny—in an account that is by turns heartrending and celebratory, comic and terrifying. A 2003 New York Public Library Book to Remember. 13 photographs.
Customer Reviews:
Fascinating.......2007-10-07
The author travels all over Russia after the fall of the Soviet Union. His trip to Chechnya is really eye-opening. If you're interested in Russia, I highly recommend this book.
Russia as it is .......2007-06-27
Meier writes about the transition pains that Russians have and are experiencing as he travels there from 1995 to 2002. From Chechnya to Sakhalin to Norlisk, Petersburg and Moscow, Meier meets with ordinary and not so ordinary Russians to get a sense of their new post-soviet existence. His knowledge of Russian history and literature makes the book even more interesting as he commonly draws from the past and literature to explain the Russian character. This is by far one of the best accounts on contemporary Russia, a travelogue that gives the reader a real sense of not only what it means to live in Russia today but a good sense of where Russia is headed.
Accurate portrayal of contemporary Russia.......2007-04-20
This book recounts the author's travels throughout Russia in the late 1990's and early 2000's. Overall, I think that Meier makes a worthwhile contribution to the already substantial number of journalistic travel narratives that focus on the post-Soviet realm. The book is divided into 6 chapters: the first and last ones discuss the author's time spent in Moscow, while the other 4 trace his visits to the southern, northern, eastern, and western edges of the country. His journey to the south takes him to Chechnya, where he visits a village that was the site of a purported recent massacre of civilians. This chapter was interesting if only for the fact that there is still a dearth of Western journalists who have managed to visit and write about the region. His interviewees there include Chechen civilians, Russian military personnel, doctors, local warlords, and others. His analysis of the political dynamics was fairly neutral and evenhanded. Meier's northern journey involves a trip up the Yenisei River from Krasnoyarsk to Norilsk, which lies above the Arctic Circle. Norilsk was founded as a prison camp and today is centered on the extraction of nickel and other natural resources. Meier is mostly interested in the city's history as a part of the gulag, and he interviews numerous people who were themselves prisoners. One of the chapter's themes is the fact that many of these people elected to stay in this polluted, isolated, freezing place even after they became free, simply because they had nowhere to go. Next Meier goes to the Pacific island of Sakhalin, home to some of Russia's largest oil fields. He hauntingly describes driving through near ghost towns that have been decimated by industrial collapse, emigration, and various other societal ills that are pervasive throughout Russia. Finally, Meier has a nice chapter on St. Petersburg, looking at the city's cultural and historical role in Russia. He uses the assassination of Petersburg politician and reformist Galina Staravoitieva to make a statement on the failure of liberalism in Russia, as an ideology and social movement.
Overall, Meier writes well and often with penetrating insight. His interviewees include a colorful cast of characters from all walks of life, including ordinary Russians, pensioners, cultural and literary figures, academics, and political leaders. As is the case with any book that often jumps from topic to topic, it is uneven at times. He jumps from past to present with regularity, and his efforts to connect the two are not always successful. In addition, like many working within this genre, Meier often can't resist the temptation to indulge in abstract philosophizing, although he is definitely less guilty of this than others. In short, I would heartily recommend this book to anyone with a general interest in Russia. Meier provides an insightful, empathetic analysis of the political, social and economic transformations wrought by the collapse of communism, and the ways in which these changes have impacted ordinary Russians' lives.
Finally, a book about today's Russia & the former-USSR by a Westerner without all that cloak & dagger stuff!.......2007-01-24
I was looking for a walk down memory lane. Yessir, I got it.
I was looking to be educated about Russia by a competent scribe who could cut through all of that jingoistic anti-post-Soviet (and mostly Western-instigated) gibberish that pervades the shelves of the big literary boxstores, which some people call "bookstores." Yup. I got it, too.
I wanted to be entertained with a book which, on the cold hard face of it, could have alternately emerged as a dry quote-heavy and source material-heavy non-fiction tour-de-force. It wasn't. So, uh-huh, that wish came true as well.
Andrew Meier's book is a sheer delight for the visual senses. Tolstoy would have been proud. Solzhenitsyn is chuckling about this, even today, and he's not laughing at Mr. Meier as much as he's laughing about what Mr. Meier writes about. Why didn't this come to market a lot sooner, Solzhenitsyn seems to be asking...
Russians across that vast expanse of territory situated at the top of the world atlas are also cheering in hip-hop-hooray at Mr. Meier's efforts. Across the colorful breadth of Mr. Meier's massive book, you get a sense inside its pages that a lone man's really devoted himself, monk-like, to the dissection and comprehension of the cross-section of Russian society in a way few researchers of his ilk really have. It's so impressive.
What you're going to read inside these pages, folks, is truly a work of admirable obsessiveness by a young man who has passionately found himself in a land not quite his own. I'm suddenly envious of him for finding a passion which has overtaken his senses to the degree that the former Soviet Union has. All of us must have this passion. Our lives depend on it.
I admit, like most Westerners, much of what we know about yesterday's and today's Russia is biased by more than forty years of the Cold War. Much of what we know is useless wide accusatory brushstroking that doesn't help us to understand what make these people truly tick.
Rarely has a Westerner had such an exclusive chance to probe into the depths and lives of a former "enemy. When an opportunity arose post-glasnost, Meier was one of the first Western reporters to really get a good look around at things. He tells you all about it in black and white.
I can't fault any of these chapters, really.
I'd love to have read more about the lives of the oligarchs, but I understand the comparative paucity and murkiness of the supplied information on the likes of Mssrs. Berezovsky, Gusinsky, and Potanin. It's clear that Meier could have been putting his very life in danger for doing so. We have all heard of the fates of Mssrs. Klebnikov and Theo Van Gogh and then, of the late Madame Politikovskaya. There's no use belaboring the point that Meier is an overly talented author who has more than just his authorial career at stake, in the mix. Though I appreciate his candor and the depth of incisiveness with which he was capable of going, sadly, authors in Russia can only probe thus far...
The section about Chechnya was simply marvellous. Meier really got in there, befriended all the right people and got into their thoughts and all. He's even written something about Chechnya in its own subsequent treatment, something which I'm going to get my hands on eventually. It's hard for all of us to visualize what's going on over there in the Caucasus--let alone look at it soberly and without judgement--for the simple reason that what the Russian armed forces are doing gets subsumed into that war on something starting with the letter "t." Because the Russians are deemed to be engaged in something totally acceptable as per the world's opinion, it suddenly doesn't seem all that wrong. Troublesome thoughts, indeed.
I warn you, ladies and gentlemen, this is by far an "easy" read. It's heavy and the print's for the most part, tiny. It's going to take you a good long while to finish it, and even if you're a fast reader, I recommend it best to meander about its pages for a bit. It's detail-a-plenty, and something tells me to gobble this one quickly is actually a disservice to Andrew's diligent toil.
He really covers all the bases, it's staggering. I'm still in awe.
While I finished this one in 2007, his is my best non-fiction book of 2006. Hands down.
Five stars from me.
Hand on the heart,
ADM in Prague
Good work!!.......2006-06-06
Good job by Mr Meier.He takes us to places that we probably we dont read about and talks to people who knows what's going on in those places.I especially enjoyed the chapter that talks about Chenchenya and the difficulties in that part of Russia.I also liked his account and views about Vladimir Putin and the fact that sometimes he can be trusted to make things worked in Russia and sometimes he seems to take a step back.The only problem with Mr Meier is that he explains everything with,sometimes, way to many details.In other words, when he describes his journeys and interviews he tries to describe everything: the time of day, the clothes the person is wearing, the tea his drinking ,the color of his hair,ornamets in the house,the weather outside.This will cause that a situation that he is describing takes more than is needed.It took me a while to get used to his style of writing but at the end i was satisfied with his work because he answered a lot of questions that i had.
