    3 out of 5 stars Not very many strips.......2003-08-28

    I enjoy comic strips, especially ones that have art as beautiful as Gus Arriola's "Gordo." This book gives an extensive biography of Arriola, along with extensive commentary by the biographer, Robert Harvey. Once I got past Harvey's writing, I enjoyed the book. Unfortunately, there are very few strips reprinted in the book. Harvey merely samples "Gordo" strips, putting his unnecesary commentaries in the margins, inbetween pages of prose. I think most people, like me, would prefer to have just a collection of the strips, so that we can enjoy Arriola's wonderful work without the "help" of a commentator.

    5 out of 5 stars Great memories from childhood.......2002-12-05

    Like so many others here, I remember Gordo fondly from a very young age. The bright colors on Sunday appealed to me. So did the combinations of adult themes and animal themes. Gus Arriola was the first person in my life to bring home to me that life is life, animal or human.

    The cartoonist has a great sense of humor and a unique drawing style. The book is essentially the story of the life of Gus Arriola, which is an interesting one, interspersed with many, many samples of his cartoons, both daily and Sunday. So this book has to be taken as a biography rather than as a compendium of the cartoonist's work.

    This story of the life of Gus and Mary Frances Arriola is a nice one, full of laughter and good friends and fulfilling work. It is also very, very good to relive some of the cartoon moments that are also provided. No, this book is not the complete works of Gordo, and I would like to see that happen someday soon. But in its own right, it's a great book.

    If you like cartoons and have an interest in cartoonists, you should have fun with this one.

    1 out of 5 stars I will not buy the book.......2001-02-05

    I read "motogrrl"s review, and share the sentiments. Born in 1947, I read "Gordo" with gusto for as long as it was in print. Arriola's aesthetic style is still unparalleled. Do I remember strips entirely without dialogue? I think so! What I really would like to enjoy and review is the ENTIRE collection of all syndicated "Gordo" strips---so what if it amounts to 20 volumes? What does it take to get all of "Gordo" published? A plea? A complaint? This is a plaintive plea! Please!! WE WILL BUY IT!

    5 out of 5 stars Ah, the memories..........2000-10-25

    As a kid, I looked forward to every Sunday paper's new and amazing /Gordo/ color strip. Gus Arriola's sense of style, his humor, his clean and accurate technique... those were great strips. I was heartbroken when he decided to retire.

    But here we are with a brand new collection of strips, including some of my favorite stories, along with a biography of the cartoonist and a truly fascinating look at the evolution of Gordo, from /campesino/ to tour guide, from stereotype to the cultural envoy who gently and gracefully gave many of us north of the border our first exposure to Mexican customs and traditions. And there's no lack of attention to all the other characters that populated Gordo's world -- Tehuana Mama, the Poet, Juan Pablo Jones, Panchito, the Widow Gonzales, Mary Frances... and the wonderful animals (Poosy Gato was always my favorite).

    I would only have been happier if there'd been more color strips -- in fact, more strips, period. I'd adore to see a complete collection through all the years of /Gordo/, though it'd probably take up multiple volumes. Still, until and unless that ever comes along, /Accidental Ambassador Gordo/ is a fine sop to my nostalgia. /Gordo/ truly belongs among the great comic strips of all time; this is a dandy introduction for those unfamiliar with it.

    And don't miss the "Beans weeth Cheese" recipe! ;)

    Book Description

    Two-headed pub crawlers and monsters that might be your next-door neighbors are just some of the odd creatures found in the works of Gahan Wilson -- the sort of dark and twisted humor that has garnered accolades and awards for this celebrated cartoonist, whose work has graced the pages of The New Yorker, National Lampoon, and Playboy.

    Containing over 150 cartoons that stretch across the length of Wilson's ouevre, Gravediggers' Party is a pumpkin-stuffing collection of the weird and the wild, the strange and the supernatural, appreciated by only the most discerning ghoul. (You know who you are.)

    5 out of 5 stars Wonderfully demented stuff.......2003-03-02

    The first cartoon that I can remember seeing was one of Gahan Wilson's: a man on top of a Charles Addam's-type house, waving those flags that workers use to guide airplanes in...only off in the distance in the air is not an airplane, but a witch on a broomstick. That was it; I was hooked. And every cartoon in this pocket-sized book is as much of a gem as the first one I saw. All of them made me smile; some (like the Sandwich-Man killer) made me burst out laughing. Wilson is wonderfully demented. But what can you expect from a man who was born dead, and brought out to life by the doctor repeatedly dunking him in hot and cold water. And who is also descended from P.T. Barnum? This is great stuff. Buy it. You won't be disappointed. I promise.

    5 out of 5 stars Wonderful! A pocket-sized collection of Wilson's best..........2003-01-31

    This is great - I've loved Wilson's cartoons since I first saw one, and I have most of his collections, but here are most of his best cartoons (including my all-time favorites) in a convenient pocket size. From "I think you should locate the new delphinium bed elsewhere, Hobbs" to "...and then we'll get him!", these are all terrific; funny, gruesome, sometimes even {gasp} thought-provoking. Oh, and often rather bloody, so if you have an aversion to the occasional body part in your cartoons, you might pass by. If not, join the fun...

      Book Description

      Pop music stars in many of the most exciting and successful British films--from Performance to Trainspotting, from A Hard Day's Night to Human Traffic. Other films using pop music might be more obscure but include many demonstrating a boldness and imagination rarely matched in other areas of British cinema.
      Pop artists (David Bowie, Cliff Richard, Spice Girls, Patsy Kensit, Sex Pistols) could be said to be captured at their most iconic on celluloid. And of course there are the rare but prized cameos from a huge variety of other musicians and their songs in the most unexpected of places. This book tells the story and records the facts of the pop-film relationship decade by decade. It is the most systematic guide to where and how pop appears in British cinema.
      Pop in British Cinema includes:
      * Decade by decade commentary and systematic listings of films with pop music
      * Comprehensive referencing of all British feature films using music from the 50s to the end of the century
      * Illustrations and descriptions of the changing ways of using pop in British film
      * Listings of "band" movies and indexes to musicians, directors, and film titles
      For researchers and the curious alike this is an easy and fascinating reference source. It represents both a first history of pop music in British cinema and a mine of trivia questions for music and film buffs of all descriptions.

      Book Description

      When Richard Ryder coined the term 'speciesism' over two decades ago, the issue of animal rights was very much a minority concern that had associations with crankiness. Today, the animal rights movement is well-established across the globe and continues to gain momentum, with animal experimentation for medical research high on the agenda and very much in the news. This pioneering book — an historical survey of the relationship between humans and non-humans — paved the way for these developments. Revised, updated to include the movement's recent history and available in paperback for the first time, and now introducing Ryder's concept of 'painism', Animal Revolution is essential reading for anyone who cares about animals or humanity.

      5 out of 5 stars The coming of vegetarian civilization.......2002-11-14

      This is a fascinating and useful account of man's philosophic and religious mindsets toward the animal world, and rides the tide of the animal rights movement, with a history of same since the resurgence of activism in the sixties onward. A good companion to Singer's Animal Liberation, the book shares with it what I would consider an excessively solicitous attitude toward Darwinism, although the latter provides indirectly the characteristically openended injunction to see the continuum of man and animal brethren. In fact, how account for the evolution of this emergentist trend in history toward the post-carnivorous human? This apart, the splendid portrait in detail of the confusion over man-animal relations fills the void in one's awareness of this issue, and one senses the onset of a one-way valve here: there is no going back. The last excuses for the passage have fallen away in an age of scientific genetics and nutritional research. The man in the business devouring the flesh of animals is a morbid spectacle of an extinct 'species', goodbye to all that.

      5 out of 5 stars Fascinating. Thought provoking. Unique. A mine of info........2000-12-25

      This is a fascinating book. It traces the whole history of the relationship between humans and animals and the development of the movement in recent decades to protect animals. Philosophers have led the current revival of interest in animal rights. In Europe the issue has gone further and a mass of new legislation has been passed in recent years to protect animals. If animals can suffer why should they not have rights? But why does Europe lead the US on this? Why is America being left behind? Are Americans less rational or less compassionate? Ryder addresses these issues (which are rarely addressed elsewhere). This is one of the main reasons I find the book invaluable. He also gives a wealth of scientific evidence to support the case for better treatment and respect for animals. I really think that Ryder's voice is worth listening to - after all, he gave to Peter Singer the idea of 'speciesism' and provided much of the material that Singer used in his classic Animal Liberation way back in 1975.

        3 out of 5 stars An Anthology and Game Accessory All Rolled Into One!.......1999-06-18

        This boxed set is designed for the Planescape RPG game. The main highlight of this boxed set is the CD which is a collection of [mostly] short stories. There are also short clips of what life on the planes. The quality of the CD is superb. It was obviously made by professionals who might be familliar with the radio show business. Many of the stories were entertaining and funny. My favorites were the Order of Anarchists (Track 3 on the CD), a hilarious short of some bumbling theives in a town called Automata, and Plague-Mort (look on the CD for the Track number), the story about how a town saved itself from some fiends trying to send it to the Abyss via magic portal. The CD is great for DMs (Dungeon Masters or Game Masters) who love to use music and special effects in their campaigns. The game book was unfortunately a bit too sparse on game information. And there weren't enough maps of the various gate towns found in the Planescape game. The info on the gate towns themselves were too generalized. This is the only part of the boxed set that disappointed me. The only thing that managed to save this set from getting only one star was the CD. And for you Planescape fantics: The CD itself makes an interesting addition to your collection!

        Although it is not a beginners book on Photoshop, I've Got a Human in my Throat takes readers from basic tasks in photoshop to more complex and impressive tricks.

            Book Description

            Drawing parallels and noting disparities, the author contrasts the mystic qualities between Christianity — as expressed in the writings of Meister Eckhart (1260–1326), an unconventional ecclesiastic who encouraged transcendence of traditional faith — and Buddhism, explicating the views of both on such concepts as infinity, eternity, and the transmigration of souls.

            D.T. Suzuki was in his time a well known scholar on Buddhism, especially the Japanese Zen variety, and was later appointed a Professor of Buddhist Philosophy.

            In 1948 Suzuki studied some sermons of Meister Eckhart and wrote this little book, pointing out what he felt were the close connections between the Meister's ideas and those of Zen Buddhism.

            Having studied both Christian and Buddhist spiritual traditions myself quite closely, I think Suzuki has tried but failed to find common ground between these two great world religions.

            Nowhere in Eckhart's sermons or tracts for example, does Eckhart conceive of God as Buddhist 'emptiness' or 'shunyata.' While it is true Eckhart felt God was One, and this One was above being itself, Eckhart also believed this One was a Trinity and contained a super-richness or overflowing of being, rather than a void which mysteriously and transcendently is the source of all other things. The Buddhist ideas which Suzuki refers to have far more in common with those of Oriental mysticism, such as the Tao of Lao Tzu or the Brahman of the Upanishads. Eckhart's idea is closer to Gregory of Nyssa or Dionysius, who saw God as infinite, perfectly One, incomprehensible but also a Trinity.

            However many of Eckhart's ideas do have paralells in Buddhism, especially those on 'detachment', imageless contemplation (something shared with Evagrius Ponticus, a 4th century Eastern Christian monk) and the ground of the soul, which may be compared with the Buddhist notion of the inherent 'Buddha nature' shared by all beings. Yet, I think Eckhart is best considered what he really was, a Catholic mystic who saw himself as an Orthodox Christian through and through, rather than a Zen master in disguise.

            4 out of 5 stars Nonduality, East and West.......2005-08-25

            The great scholar of Zen Buddhism does the kind of careful and insightful work he is known for, here comparing the Christian mysticism of Meister Eckhart, (a 13th and 14th century Christian mystic) with core Buddhist teachings. The insights of a Christian mystic and a Buddhist differ in words, but reflect the same underlying experience of union with the Ineffable Suchness that is God or Tathata. I value this book deeply for its subject matter. Be advised, this is not light reading or "beach reading" as Eckhart can be somewhat impenetrable at times. But Suzuki is very adept at interpreting him and gets to the essentials, making it a book to be ingested slowly, meditatively.

            3 out of 5 stars limited comparative approach.......2002-12-14

            Suzuki basically has written this book, which primarily about Buddhism rather than Christianity, as a way of drawing connections between the different mysticisms present in Christian tradition and how some of these mysticisms share common traits and insights with Buddhism. Not surprisingly, the mystic whom he chooses to do this with is almost exclusively Meister Eckhart. This is, thus, no comparative history but a Buddhist slant on Eckchart's thought and spirituality. It is a slant that might make some Christians uncomfortable but it is interesting nonetheless. This serves a window through which he continues to discussion Buddhist mysticism at large in the rest of the book.

                                                    Book Description

                                                    Published to mark the 25th anniversary of the Friends of the Earth Promising the Earth paints the inside story of a pioneering environmental campaign upon a broader social canvas. While no single organization's history or accomplishments can fairly represent the growth of environmental consciousness, this narrative bears intimate witness to a fascinating and rewarding story which is still unfolding.

                                                    Enlivened by arresting illustrations and glimpses of colorful personalities brought to light through the ongoing environmental debate, Promising the Earth takes stock of changing realities in and attitudes to environmental care over the past twenty-five years. Author Roger Lamb uses this chronicle as a platform from which to survey the future which awaits our environment in the 21st century.
