A Comic Book Catechism.......2006-05-14
_I have long seen comic books, at least superhero comic books, as more than mere entertainment. I share this view with the author. Indeed, we both seem to see the world as fallen- and in need of the inspiration that comic books, at their best, can provide. This book is a well-reasoned look at the legitimacy of the comic book as moral teaching aid in everything from social justice to the metaphysical nature of good versus evil. It is written in an enjoyable, informal, non-academic style (it is documented with footnotes, but mercifully they are included at the back where you can ignore them if you choose.)
_My only real complaint is that there are so many examples that could have been included but were not. For instance, the Spectre, who as the embodiment of the Wrath of God is the most theologically and metaphysically relevant of characters, is only mentioned a single time in a single sentence. The same goes with the complex Sandman mythos- mentioned a single time in a single sentence. Such potentially fascinating characters as Hellstorm (son of the Adversary) or Grimjack (walked out of heaven to help his friends) are totally ignored. Even the original Captain Marvel (part man and part God - with the wisdom of Solomon) is likewise ignored. Yet, I suppose that there are only so many examples that can be fit into a book of this size.
_Still, the examples that are given are well explored (especially Superman, Captain America, and the Green Lantern/Green Arrow partnership.) A prime specific example would be Green Lantern's eventual understanding that law and order (accidentals) are less important than truth and justice (essentials.) I could easily see this book becoming the starting point for any number of discussions on what constitutes a true hero and heroism. Indeed, I found myself wanting to argue on numerous points...
_As for this being strictly a Christian perspective, it truly seems to me that the core concepts of Truth, Justice, and Good- as well as the heroic archetypes that embody them- could be held to be more essentially Platonic in nature. But that would be another discussion.
Very insightful.......2005-12-12
It's nice to see books like this for the Christian comic geek. There are so many books out there like "how to be a superhero", etc. that spoof the pop-culture, but these types of books make something of that culture. Something good.
Every generation has their problems, and likewise, every generation needs heroes. Too few people are willing to go the distance in their walk with God, so as to become a true speedster of the light.
I'm glad for books like this, and I'm sure any new readers will be too.
Also check out "Who Needs a Superhero?" That one was life changing for me.

Wannabe a hero.....you just might be one.......2005-03-19
This book was an eye opener for me in some respects. I used to collect comic books some years ago. I do enjoy the superhero movies of past and present. I am also a person of faith. This book broke down some of the misconceptions about Comic Books. It also placed a frame around a good discussion......Why do we need heros? But most of all for me it made me realize I had some things to be thankful for, just by looking at my life from a different viewpoint.
POW-ZAPPING Kudos to the author!
Super Hero's as a Moral Center?.......2005-03-02
Zimmerman does a adaquate job of finding a spiritual center for many of the characters well known in the comic book universe. Though some of his observations may seem like marginal "philosophical stretches", he excels in showing how the dilema's facing the Super Hero in comics, can be very metaphorical to our world today. Could be a very powerful outreach for teen youth programs, to incite conversation and thought from a genre that they are genuinely interested in.
Robert James Luedke, (Author...Eye Witness: A Fictional Tale of Absolute Truth)
Superhero Theology..........2004-12-28
Zimmerman's book is both an entertaining and educational read. He is an unapologetic comic book geek with an obvious passion about his subject. The brilliant thing about this book is that it is not really about comic book superheroes, it is about reality (ironic) and what makes life worth living. Zimmerman is at his best when he uses the world of comic book heroes to ask questions of ultimate meaning about life in our own world. The book does not give many straightforward answers to life's questions, but it does help us to know if we are looking in the right direction, namely toward the God of the Bible. I found the combination of historical insight, cultural analysis, theological reflection and general wittines to be thoroughly engaging. This book will probably be read most by fans of comics, but that is a shame because it speaks to us all.

Book Description
Actor Doug Bradley, who portrayed the terrifying character, Pinhead, in Clive Barker's Hellraiser series of films, gives his own unique and personal guide to cinema monsters and the men who portrayed them, including Lon Chaney and Boris Karloff, and such unforgettable creatures as The Wolf Man, The Phantom of the Opera and The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Bradley also examines the cultural, historical and dramatic roles the mask has played throughout time, and the physical rigours the actors who play monsters must endure.
Bringing the subject up to date, he looks at modern-day monsters Leatherface (Texas Chain Saw Massacre), Freddie Krueger (Nightmare On Elm Street), Jason (Friday the 13th) and, of course, the creation of Pinhead.

Disappointed.......2007-02-07
I just felt that there was nothing in the workbook that was useful. Most of the material was something I would be embarassed to try on a group, and I have to say, this will end up in the next garage sale!
Average - some good exercises.......2007-01-13
I am a professional trainer, I pulled a few good exercise out of this but most are somewhat childlike and very average. Probably something better out there, but I did get a few ideas for my classes.
A Super Resource.......2003-09-08
I hate to disagree with my esteemed colleague from Mexico City but for any of us who deal with the REAL world of selling, this book is a gem. It is a quick and easy to use way to spice up sales meetings.
Great Resource for Use in Training.......2001-10-09
I do training for an association in which we are members. Although the exercises in this book are for sales people, I have adapted more than a dozen of them to use in various training sessions, from surviving or thriving in our changed economy to direct marketing by snail mail and email. Would recommend this book to anyone who needs visuals to motivate others.
Completely useless.......2001-05-19
As a sales and marketing professional and university professor I can tell you this book is book is one of the worst books I have ever purchased. The reason for this is because the exercises seem adequate for people with a negative IQ! I would have returned the book but my 4 year old boy damaged it.

Written immediately after the end of World War II, this morally complex Holocaust memoir is notable for its exact depiction of the grim details of life in Warsaw under the Nazi occupation. "Things you hardly noticed before took on enormous significance: a comfortable, solid armchair, the soothing look of a white-tiled stove," writes Wladyslaw Szpilman, a pianist for Polish radio when the Germans invaded. His mother's insistence on laying the table with clean linen for their midday meal, even as conditions for Jews worsened daily, makes palpable the Holocaust's abstract horror. Arbitrarily removed from the transport that took his family to certain death, Szpilman does not deny the "animal fear" that led him to seize this chance for escape, nor does he cheapen his emotions by belaboring them. Yet his cool prose contains plenty of biting rage, mostly buried in scathing asides (a Jewish doctor spared consignment to "the most wonderful of all gas chambers," for example). Szpilman found compassion in unlikely people, including a German officer who brought food and warm clothing to his hiding place during the war's last days. Extracts from the officer's wartime diary (added to this new edition), with their expressions of outrage at his fellow soldiers' behavior, remind us to be wary of general condemnation of any group. --Wendy Smith
Book Description
Named one of the Best Books of 1999 by the Los Angeles Times, The Pianist is now a major motion picture directed by Roman Polanski and starring Adrien Brody (Son of Sam). The Pianist won the Cannes Film Festival’s most prestigious prize—the Palme d’Or.
On September 23, 1939, Wladyslaw Szpilman played Chopin’s Nocturne in C-sharp minor live on the radio as shells exploded outside—so loudly that he couldn’t hear his piano. It was the last live music broadcast from Warsaw: That day, a German bomb hit the station, and Polish Radio went off the air.
Though he lost his entire family, Szpilman survived in hiding. In the end, his life was saved by a German officer who heard him play the same Chopin Nocturne on a piano found among the rubble. Written immediately after the war and suppressed for decades, The Pianist is a stunning testament to human endurance and the redemptive power of fellow feeling.
Customer Reviews:
The Pianist.......2007-07-30
I bought this for my mom. The book even though used-was in such good condition - looked new. Will have no problem purchasing used again.
Read the book before you watch the film........2007-04-17
This will be a book you will never want to put down. The film was exellent, directed by Polanski it included chilling moments from his own personal experience in the Wasaw ghetto but equally there were things left out.
Most prominant were concerning the German officer who pretty much saved Szpilmans life. If you watch the documentry of the Pianist at the end of the DVD Polanski talks about how he spoke with the son of that officer who expressed his concern that his father would be shown in the film in a positive light, Polanski seems to dismiss this with a wave of the hand and says "I said of course!" Then we have the actor who played the role who seemed so adimant that the officer was a 'symbol of hope' Now watching the film itself you are a little confused as though he gives Szpilman food and befrends him he is hardly a 'symbol of hope' even the coat he gives Szpilman at the end of the film is because he 'has a warmer one' The book however is very differnet.
In the book Szpilman tells us how this officer has helped many Jews before Szpilmen, was almost shot by SS for defending a young child, would give shoes to childern in Poland and concerning his help for Szpilman, well it was actually the officer who told him to take the ladder up with him to prevent anyone comming in later and suspecting someone was hiding in the attic, they had both agreed to not know each others names in case they were caught and tourtured (Which is why at the end Szpilman found it so difficult to find the officer who had been captured by the Russians and why in the film the officer referes to Szpilman as simply 'Jew' now if you did not know this previously you would regard this as a very offensive use of the word)
Equally interesting is the use of Ukranian guards who seem to be particually brutal in their treatment something that is little know to us. The role of non-Germans who supported Hitler in the second world war.
A highly recomended book especially if you intend to watch the film. Read this first.
Ella Fitzgerald.......2007-03-11
For those who hasn't watched the movie should really make time for it. After the movie, read the book. You will fine it is such an inspiration. i strong recommend it.
Account of life and death in the Warsaw Ghetto.......2006-12-10
The Pianist is the story of Wladyslaw Szpilman and his remarkable story survival in Warsaw during the years of Nazi occupation from 1939 to 1945.
It tells how he survived against the odds , hiding in various parts of the city , before his life was saved by a German officer , who despised the Nazis brutality and genocide , a true righteous gentile , Captain Wilm Hosenfeld.
Unlike many personal holocaust accounts , which are of concentration and death camps , this one is an account of life and death in the Warsaw ghetto.
Szpilman describes life and death in the ghetto : the disease , the starvation and the Nazi mass murders of hundreds of thousands of men , women and children , including how the Nazis killed Jewish children , by seizing them by the legs and swinging their heads into brick walls.
Next to Szpilman's account are moving extracts from Hosenfeld's diary.
In his diary Wilm Hosenfeld described his conscience and his hatred of totalitarian brutality , describing the horrors of the French Revolution and the horrific atrocities of the Bolshevik revolution , who'se leaders and footsoldiers acted without compassion or conscience , believing in the totality and infinite importance of their causes. It was a war against Christianity and against descency , as was the Nazi war to destroy the Jews and other entire nations. He speaks of the total moral bankruptcy of Nazism and his disgust at it's rotten moral core and bloodthirsty savage evil.
Hosenfeld was captured by the Soviets after the war and died seven years later in a hideous Soviet Gulag.
Similarly voices of conscience have arisen from time to time against evil systems , such as Andrei Sakharov , who challenged the ultimate tyranny of the Soviet Union and more recently Walid Shoebat , a former Arab terorist turned Christian apostle of love and co-existence , who now condemmns Arab terror , and the war of destruction and hideous propaganda against Israel.
In the epilogue by Wolf Biermann , Biermann describes how "everyone knows how horribly the infection of anti-Semitism traditionally raged among 'the Poles' , but few know that at the same time no other nation hid so many Jews from the Nazis. If you hid a Jew in France , the penalty was prison , or a concentration camp , in Germany it cost you your life - but in Poland it cost the lives of your entire family".
Lastly Hosenfeld makes the plea that a tree is planted at Yad Vashem in the honor of Wilm Hosenfeld , among those of the thousands of other righteous gentiles honoured at the holocaust museum in Jerusalem.
As thrilling as the film.......2006-11-03
Both author Szpilman and director Polanski exemplify the quirks of fate that led to survival in Nazi-occupied Poland. Two faults: the book should have a Warsaw map of streets and sites relevant to Szpilman's saga, and it ought to have an index. But an unexpected plus is an excerpt from the diary of "good German" Wilm Hosenfeld, the pianist's final savior.

Good Read.......2006-05-15
Reads well, Good collection of Stories of VC winners, Including Guy Gibson, David Wanklyn, Albert Ball, and others. Nice coverage, doesn't gloss over some of the less savory aspects of some of the hero's lives, or the politics or Bravery.
Book Description
Malanga describes an emerging new political dynamic: the contest between those who benefit from an ever-expanding public sector and those who pay for this bigger government--in other words, between tax consumers and taxpayers. He traces the rise of the tax consumers' movement to two sources: the growth of public-sector employee unions and the War on Poverty. Politics isn't about Right versus Left. It's about interest group versus interest group--especially in cities. Steve Malanga understands that and exposes it. He guides us through America's emerging new political reality. --Amity Shlaes

small businesses not threatened by wallmart.......2007-05-12
small businesses are not threatened by walmart- businesses that can't compete with walmart are threatened by walmart. further, walmart is threatened by small businesses. should walmart ever attempt to become the monopoly the economically illiterate left stupidly thinks it is, then, thanks to laissez-faire capitalism, it will lose out to businesses that step into fill the demand walmart thought it could ignore. but , of course, walmart won't do that. if 'small' businesses want to compete with walmart, they should complain about city taxes and anti-growth do-gooder professors and their liberal stoner lapdogs passing zoning restrictions that limit competition and thus allow mom and pop shops to charge monopolistic like prices to cover their exorbitant rent which has the effect of driving people to go to...well....walmart.
thus, the book is right. entrepeneurship is the answer to city woes and that requires laissez-faire capitalism and elimination of all the protection rackets that pass themselves off as socially enlightened when in point of fact they differ little from medieval guilds......choking off walmart just means that only the rich left-wing do-gooders who shell out ten dollars for pretentious euro-chic products in downtown boutiques will get to enjoy the consumer society they wish to deny to the rest of us.
LONG LIVE WALMART!!!!
An eye-opening look at the war between "tax eaters" and "tax payers".......2007-01-13
In THE NEW, NEW LEFT Steven Malanga argues that contemporary American politics is a battle between those who gain and those who lose economically when government expands. Malanga, a fellow at the Manhattan Institute, claims that this battle between "the tax eaters" and "the tax payers" has reached a tipping point, with the tax eaters gaining ascendancy, especially in large cities.
In Malanga's view, the driving force of the tax eaters, the "New New Left," consists of labor unions in general and government-employee unions in particular. Aiding the unions in advancing their goals are numerous social-activist "advocacy" organizations. As Malanga illustrates repeatedly, the programs that these activists and organizations push usually serve to benefit only themselves.
Especially valuable is Malanga's detailed review of the various battles that the New New Left is fighting. First is the ongoing war to enact "living wage" ordinances in cities all over the country. Another battle is taking place on college campuses, where organized labor (especially under the leadership of John Sweeney) is attempting systematically to co-opt academic programs and departments. A third, fiercely fought battle involves the New New Left's attempt to destroy Wal-Mart.
Taken as a discussion of the tactics and growing danger of leftist unions and activist organizations, Malanga's book is worthwhile. He is right that these organizations are working to increase the size and reach of the welfare state out of manifest or latent self-interest, regardless of whether these welfare programs help or hurt the country. Although this economic perspective is nothing new, Malanga gives us a detailed, nitty-gritty descriptions of precisely how the elitists are successfully pushing their statist agenda.
Notwithstanding the book's virtues, however, it does have limitations. Most notably, although the thesis is that the New New Left is controlling the national economy, or at least that we have collectively reached a "tipping point" at which the tax eaters have come to dominate society, Malanga's evidence hardly supports that conclusion. He does not present data to show whether aggregate government spending as a proportion of national product has increased dramatically or has approached 50 percent. He gives no statistical evidence that either the recipients of social-welfare benefits have increased in the aggregate as a proportion of the population or that the government workers attached to the welfare programs have increased as a proportion of the total workforce. He does not examine these groups' voting behavior to establish that they cohesively back a common agenda.
Instead, a disproportionate amount of Malanga's exposition focuses on New York City. Although Gotham is a major city, it is in many ways atypical of the nation as a whole, and its politics may be atypical, too. Therefore, THE NEW, NEW LEFT constitutes only a warning about what may be happening more widely rather than a convincing demonstration that tax eaters have taken over the U.S. economy.
Parasites versus Producers.......2006-06-06
The New New Left of the 21st century is the heir to the 1960s New Left, demolished so well by Ayn Rand in her book The New Left: The Anti Industrial Revolution. The movement that Malanga investigates is still ideological but far more cynical. In place of the earlier hippies, they are dedicated careerists. Now it is all about wielding power on the local level, especially in the inner cities, in order to benefit themselves. Like all leftists they are parasites and Malanga quite rightly labels them Tax Eaters.
Who are they? Coalitions of politicians, state-funded social service agencies, public employee unions, community activists and interest groups of various stripes. They aim to expand government programmes in order to reap more of the good life from the sweat of the labor of others, and they use the language of social justice and political correctness to further this aim. In the process they invariably do more harm than good to their communities.
Unions are one of the remaining redoubts of the Left and the reason that the Democrats still control many cities. Once that support dissipates with the decline in union membership, the leftist inner city councils like that of New York City will be all that remains. Describing how they have reversed Giuliani's reforms, the author predicts the return of urban decay. The Tax Eaters are driving out the Tax Payers.
The book also deals with the continuing attempt to demonise Wal-Mart. Malanga demonstrates how caring this company really is and its popularity amongst poor people. The non-union chain is a threat to union control over the labor market and it undermines leftist theories of "market failure." Those who oppose it are doing so for their own selfish and ideological ends, whilst denying the poor the chance to find jobs and save money.
For a broader look at this latest manifestation of the Left on the national level, I recommend The Vast Left Wing Conspiracy by Byron York. That book also looks at the eccentric billionaires and Hollywood celebrities and how this crowd have taken over the Democratic Party. Do As I Say (Not As I Do) by Peter Schweizer exposes these types for the hypocrites that they are. For a juicy history of the shameful record of the Dems, I highly recommend Donkey Cons by Lynn Vincent and Robert McCain.
A history which examines these two movements and their sources.......2006-02-08
Politics in modern America doesn't just contrast left and right attitudes: a new dynamic has been emerging between those who benefit from an expanding government, and those who have to pay for it: that's the focus of Steven Malanga's The New New Left, a history which examines these two movements and their sources. From the growth of public-sector employee unions in the 1950s which produced political ties to the war on poverty in the 1960s, funded by neighborhood grassroots efforts, The New New Left: How American Politics Works Today brings all the pieces of the puzzle together.
Almost A Five.......2005-09-12
The book had a lot of very good information, but it didn't really flow. I had to put it in my stack of gym book to read on the bike. But, unlike other books in my gym stack, this book was good. It was just a bit dry.
This is good for people who want to see what goes on behind the scenes in politics. people should read it, but they may not be able to finish in one sitting.
