The Eternal Teenager Again Speaks.......2006-06-27

Okay, I confess, I read this strip every day, have for a dozen years, and own this and another Luann anthology, and I admit I'm probably jealous that her ongoing teen years are waaaaaaaaaaay better than my lost and gone forever teen years of mostly self-created angst were, but one thing I still wonder about Luann is why on earth she took so long to get even marginally over Aaron Hill? Hell-ooo, Luann, it ain't happenin', girlfriend! Thankfully it's in the era covered in this collection that Aaron removes himself from Luann's life via a relocation to Hawaii and ends her ongoing torment, but I wish Luann had managed to dump him once and for all for herself and thereby empower her spirit and maybe those of similarly pining teen girls who read along . Okay, done. Off my soap box. If you read Luann, you'll probably like this book, and if you don't, you probably won't. QED. In pace requiescat.

Fun reading for all.......2005-08-12

It is definitely worth reading especially for those following Luann comic-strips. I love all the characters Luann, Aaron Hill, Gunther, Bernice, Delta, Brad etc. There were so real like the people we deal with in our every day life.
The comic helps you see the funny side of growing up and how we deal with it or rather how Luann deal with it. It's a really entertaining and will definitely cheer you up even if you are not a teenager anymore.

Very great comic........2005-08-06

Luann is about a teenage girl in USA that goes through the usual teenage girl problems and tribulations (like boys, "feminine problems, jealousy, etc.) and it is by a man named Greg Evans (Reuben award winner of 2003) and it is a very good newspaper strip. It has been around since 1987 (this book came out in 2004, but has 2001-2002 strips) and has went through numerous art style changes throughout the years. It used to have the Peanuts style big heads and small bodies, but now has more "realistic" looking characters. It used to be a glorified gag-a-day strip, now it has gags, but with reacurring storylines. Let me warn you that, even though Luann is great, it does get extremely preachy at points (like the drunk driving/SADD story arc) but it is still very recommended.

Book Description

In this hilarious collection of stories, D.D. Dunn uses wit and humor to tell about life on a small, run-down farm in western Illinois in the sixties. These entertaining accounts include her childhood recollections of freeing her brother's head from the steering wheel of a tractor, to almost hanging herself with binder twine in the ramshackle barn. You will find out about the crap in the crock, and how she dealt with the bully at school.

The lessons she learned about laughter, love and life have been shared for many years around the normal gathering places of family and friends, and now she is sharing them with you.

Her unique writing style will leave you nodding in recognition at the common ground of life's little setbacks we all endure.

This bundle of twenty-five "truth-is-funnier-than-fiction" stories from Dunn Movin' Farms delivers homegrown chuckles, sidesplitting belly laughs, and maybe a few tears.

Great spirit lift with funny stories.......2004-01-17

This is a great book to lift your spirits, and the stories are funny and heartwarming. It is easy to read, and the short stories make you thirsty for more. I can't wait for the next book!

A Great Read.......2004-01-15

I enjoyed this book immensely! I would recommend this book to anyone who ever lived on a farm, grew up in the 60's and 70's, or likes the format of each chapter being a stand alone story.
This book is a better read than some of the "Chicken Soup" books...so if you like them, you would love this one.

Uncontrollable laughter 'n good feelings!.......2004-01-04

This book is not only immensely hilarious, but is also written with a lot of heart and soul. D.D. Dunn writes story after story about her memorable, life-learning events that took place in her growing up years. Her sense of humor is constant and her healthy outlook about life is refreshing. I laughed uncontrollably many times throughout this book. I am looking forward to reading and enjoying her next book! Meanwhile, I will re-read a story or two of hers from time to time for a good dose of humor. Thanks for the good feelings! I'm still smiling.

Sit back , relax and enjoy........2003-11-25

How refreshing to pick up a book that keeps you grinning all the way through -----no dirty words----no violence-----just funny stories that everyone who has a sister or a brother can relate to. D.D. Dunn's descriptive ability helped me to visualize all of the "goings on" in the book and made me feel as if I were there also. Guaranteed to make you smile.

Book Description

From Plautus, Cervantes, and Charles Dickens to Evelyn Waugh, Joseph Heller, and Tom Stoppard, from A Midsummer Night's Dream to Arsenic and Old Lace and Woody Allen, this concise and readable book provides a thorough introduction to comic criticism. Nelson argues that there are significant
recurring patterns of comedy, both in the classics and in more popular and commercial works. He discusses such themes as the link between comedy and carnival, the apparent obsession of modern writers with linguistic comedy, and the dilemma of feminists faced with traditional comedy that is largely
sexist in nature.

An essential Ravenloft Book!.......2004-08-14

This book is one of the Best Books you can buy for Ravenloft. In it are some cleaverly created domains full of lycanthropes (including a newly edited werepanther), banshees, undead treants, and all the other terrors of Ravenloft. This book gives incredible detail about groups of people living in the domains and also the the rulers (darklords) over these domains.
This book itself contains Alfred Timothy and Baron Urik von Kharkov and many more. The domains it primaryly focuses on are Borca, Invidia, Verbrek, Valachan, and Sithicus. While each of them are unique and full of terror I think that the forest of Verbrek make the book the most. I would recommend this book to anyone that enjoys Ravenloft, Werewolfs, Vampires, or Roleplaying in a heartbeat.

A Good Buy.......2004-01-29

I've been waiting eagerly for details on the new darklord of Sithicus ever since I read "Spectre of the Black Rose." My only problem with the book was that the elven vampire Lady Adeline, who was mentioned in the section on Valachan, wasn't given an entry of her own in the DM's Notes section. Her entry in the old 2nd Edition accessory "Children of the Night: Vampires" made her out to be a generic elf vampire -- no class specified, just a summary of the old Ravenloft Mostrous Compendium stats. In third edition, *no* vampire who's more powerful than a vampire spawn (or minion, to use a term from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) has no character class. Based on her background, I could see Adeline as a ranger, probably at least seventh- or eighth-level. After all, in third edition being undead doesn't mean you can't be a ranger anymore. I mean, considering she's Urik von Kharkov's tax collector, she's one of the most likely evil NPC's for PC's to butt heads with in Valachan after they've finished trashing a few Black Leopards.

Gave me what I wanted.......2003-06-12

Some people are bashing this book. It gave me what I expected plus some nice extra tidbits. The only valid complaint is it gives an unfair amount of space to one domain while shortchanging the other two. It still does the job of giving you a lot of flavor to add to whatever you do in these domains.

Bottom line: I bought it and got what I wanted out of it. It could have been better, but so can all the other books.

Old-school Ravenloft... Exactly what is needed!.......2002-10-17

I love Ravenloft, ever since it first came out as a module.It's brooding, dark atmosphere and mixture of tension and dread makes it one of the most unique and engaging settings ever concieved in the entire gaming industry. I was receptive to Ravenloft 3E, but wasn't very impressed. Until now.

The Ravenloft gazetteer combines alot of esoteric trivia from countless supplements and adventures and compiles them into a single sourcebook. I've just only gotten a chance to skim through the Barovia chapter, and it's packed with material from the old boxed sets, the adventures House of Strahd and Roots of Evil, and the Monstrous Compendium appendices. It's terrific! For the old-school DM like me who just wants 3E stats of the older material, it's exactly what I needed. I run an I6 game every year, and this year I'll finally be able to do it in 3E without having to dedicate a week or two to converting the module. Great job, Sword & Sorcery Studios!

So why only 4 stars? Two major reasons. The artwork isn't exactly the most gothic in the world, I miss the older illustrations with alot of blackness in the illustrations and alot of shadows and darkness. The new art is mostly line drawings with alot of "white space." Secondly, the book has no maps of the towns it discusses. A rather crude pencil sketch on page 37 shows the area around Castle Ravenloft itself, but maps of the towns really should have been included. SSS makes great maps, as anyone who has seens the Scarred Lands Campaign Setting: Ghelspad hardcover can attest to. If such maps of the towns had been included, the book would be a straight 5.

But it's still a great buy, even essential I would say, to run canon adventures in Barovia.

Covers all aspects to make a decision about HDV.......2007-04-09

I found this book extremely helpful in coming to understand the idiosyncrasies of HDV. What was most helpful was learning that amongst all the hype of HDV there are aspects that, if I was left unaware of, would have compromised the look of my final product - not a great position to be in when promoting a business.

Big Book, but it gets easily and often sidetracked about general dv filmmaking.......2006-04-11

I was suprised by the size of the book, in fact it was a little daunting at first, I felt overwhelmed at the amount of information. The content was good, but I think the book fell into the trap of trying to cover everything about filmmaking and as a result, it often diverts from HDV to cover general filmmaking. I specifically wanted to know about HDV and I found myself having to skip over many sections to search out the information that related to HDV. Overall I found it to be an interesting read, but I would have preffered a dedicated book about HDV as the title claims.

Book Description

From one of the world's foremost Islamic scholars, a revised edition of a classic and groundbreaking book on Islam.

Is Islam compatible with democracy? Must fundamentalism win out in the Middle East, or will democracy ever be possible? In this now-classic book, Islamic sociologist Fatima Mernissi explores the ways in which progressive Muslims--defenders of democracy, feminists, and others trying to resist fundamentalism--must use the same sacred texts as Muslims who use them for violent ends, to prove different views.

Updated with a new introduction by the author written in the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks on the United States, Islam and Democracy serves as a guide to the players moving the pieces on the rather grim Muslim chessboard. It shines new light on the people behind today's terrorist acts and raises provocative questions about the possibilities for democracy and human rights in the Islamic world. Essential reading for anyone interested in the politics of the Middle East today, Islam and Democracy is as timely now as it was upon its initial, celebrated publication.

Can Islam and Democracy be Compatible?.......2003-06-08

In her book, Islam and Democracy, Fatima Mernissi, a Moroccan author, draws back on her personal experiences, not only as a Moslem but also as a woman, to explain why democracy has not caught on in the Arab countries and what are the prospects for the future. Throughout the major part of her book, she demonstrates how the Islamic community is chained up by a set of fears that it would have to overcome to establish democracy.
The analysis is brilliant and gives religious, philosophical and historical reasons to the incapacity of the Islamic world to put in action a real democracy.
It is only in the last pages that Mernissi claims without much developing that "Our liberation will come through a rereading of our past and a reapropriation of all that has structured our civilization". She sheds however some light on two factors of optimism. The first can surprise an occidental: She thinks that the shock of the Gulf War was so great that the Muslims have emerged "free from fear". The second is carrying hope: She believes that the move of women toward self affirmation and freedom will transform the nature of the state and lead to democracy.

The first fear Mernissi points out is the traditional fear of the foreign West, "Garb", the place of darkness. Middle eastern political leaders have put in place the political institutions that apparently make the West strong, but have not educated the people to use them out of fear that their authority be challenged. These institutions soon turn corrupt and are viewed as decadent. Mernissi insists on the ancient "fear of the Imam" that has marked the history of Islam. The ruler still fears the opposition forces that have constantly rebelled and tried to kill the leader. She notes - and this is quite up to date - that with the assassination of Ali, the rebel tradition has linked dissidence with terrorism.
Thus "making obedience to the Imam correspond to obedience to God became the program and the law of Arab regimes" and still is.

On the contrary, the freedom of thought is identified with the Kharijite rebellion and disorder. To save unity the politicians of the twenties chose the tradition of obedience and not the democratic freedom of thought. Mernissi reminds us with nostalgia that another path, that of the sovereignty of the individual and freedom of opinion, were possible in the frame of Islam. The Mu'tazila philosophy brought up the place of reason and personal opinion. It was adopted by the first Abbasids during the "century of openness". Mernissi however passes very fast over the fact that this flowering Muslim thought, known as "falasifa" was an exception and that if "the concept of reason was connected to criminal activities which destroyed the solidarity of the Umma", it is because this idea was solidly founded in Islam. "The Muslim is he who believes and obeys". Mernissi tells us that modernizing without granting the freedom of thought as in Tunisia and Algeria has created confusion and brought fundamentalism opposition. She targets two fundalisms, the government fondalism, the official culture which serves as a barrier against democratic education which is feared, and opposition fundamentalism. Mernissi points out that the Arab countries that have signed the Charter of the United Nations as well as the Human Rights, had been accepting engagements without referring to their historical traditions. It is therefore not surprising if they have difficulties to hold these engagements inspired from another tradition than their own.
This fear of the freedom of thought comes from the origins of Islam and is linked to the fear of the past and of individualism. Mernissi tells us that certain features of democracy could be compared to those of the Jahiliyya, a period mostly suppressed and occulted as the example of what is incompatible with Islam, a period of arrogant individualism through the cult of the idols, crime and instability against which Mohammad fought. Traditional Islam is based on the sacrifice of the individual for the sake of the Umma's unity and solidarity. Personal opinions are considered close to a sin, where the individual forgets the interests for the community in a moment of passion.

Mernissi explains the fear of women by the interesting idea that women in power are linked in collective memory with the violence and murder of these old ages. At the time of the Jahiliyya, the goddesses of war and death were honored by bloody sacrifices. Monotheist order thus required that the female should be bared from the sphere of power which coincided with the sacred. Veiling women and separating them thus eradicates disorder. Body and sexuality were also seen as "the fortress of the condemnable sovereign individuality". Yet, says Mernissi, the Qur'an defends the equality of all the human beings and guarantees this equality in exchange for the surrender of individualism to God. Equality of all explains, according to Mernissi, the rapid expansion of Islam.

Finally, even if her book tends more toward pessimism on the near future of democracy, her ideas on the influence that women could have on the development of democracy in Islamic countries, even if they appear very optimistic, seem promising to me. She writes "Women demand renunciation of the ideal of the homogeneous city divided in two hierarchical spaces, where only one sex manages politics and decision making". She brings rightly to attention that "Women are the only ones who publicly assert their right to self affirmation as individuals" and that "their claim will transform the nature of the state".

Mernissi has also an interesting view on the consequences of the Gulf War, the "ultimate horror" for Muslims which put in light "the lack of democracy, the dependence and the powerlessness" of the Arab States who were unable to protect the Muslims. She thinks that the shock was so great that the Muslims have emerged "free of fear" accepting to make "a perilous jump into the unknown...as the least dangerous thing". It is to note that the book was published in 1992, and it is not certain that Mrs. Mernissi still maintains her opinion on this liberation of the fears. There too, she seems overly optimistic.

Mernissi concludes her book by telling the story of the Simorgh birds, to show that the future success of Arab societies depends upon its citizens' resourcefulness and independence from the state. It is still a long flight away, but it should be possible. One can share this hope as she assert that "The Arab world is about to take off for the reason that everybody, with the fundamentalists in the lead (even if they look towards the past) wants change".

A Disorganized Rant.......2002-09-02

The Moroccan scholar Fatima Mernissi is frequently upheld as the Muslim world's leading feminist thinker. Her book 'Beyond the Veil' has become standard college-reading for most people investigating the subject of women's rights in the Islamic tradition. This book, however, 'Islam and Democracy,' is a disorganized rant.

One suspects that many of these "chapters" were intended for individual essays, or perhaps were rushed into publication before they could take coherent shape as a book. Mernissi is all over the place. In the expanse of five or six pages she might make great sweeping claims about the Muslim sense of powerlessness, then claim that that powerlessness is not universal at all, but rather uniquely female, then blame Muslim despots for tyrannizing their people and preventing democracy, then blame the west for attacking and trying to overthrow Muslim despots (i.e., Saddam Hussein.) Then a few pages later she might drag out apocryphal stores of the assassination of medieval Caliphs, to demonstrate that Muslims leaders have never been strong enough!

Mernissi lavishes mythology upon fact, to the point where it is impossible to tell whether or not her use of examples is to be trusted. Despite the scientific-sounding nature of its title, 'Islam and Democracy' reads more like literary criticism: an argument about the meanings of fictions, which are then applied to the world and linked by some grand theory which - lo and behold - can be `proven' by using more fiction as examples. It should not be surprising to find that excerpts from the Arabian Nights recur over and over again in her text.

Equally troubling is the fact that her main critique of Islam centers upon what she sees as its lack of respect for individual creativity and freedom - its adhesion to a slavish and unquestioning belief in scripture, yet she samples liberally from the Hadith - stories about the life of Muhammad and the early Muslims that even many Imams are skeptical of. In other words, she expects the reader to believe that her selection of scripture disproves other peoples' selections of scripture. And she can't even get them all straight: relating the story of an early Muslim martyr, she claims in one sentence that he bore his torture "and didn't utter a word" (20), and two sentences later, claims he was chanting the whole time.

In spite of all this, reading this book is still an education, of sorts. Much of this is due to the translation skills of Mary Jo Lakeland, who gives us a tour de force of Arabic etymology, and does great justice to the complex layers of meaning of this language, whose root words are so flexible and susceptible to subtle manipulation. If you would like to get a sense - albeit a dreadfully confused sense - of where one pole of Muslim critical theory stood in the 1990s, then this could be a useful text. If, however, you were hoping to learn something substantial about Islam and Democracy, you will be disappointed.

Examines fundamentalist thinking in the Middle East.......2002-06-06

Will democracy ever be possible in the volatile Arab world, and can human rights be respected under fundamentalist rules? Islamic scholar Mernissi examines fundamentalist thinking in the Middle East, considering how those on opposing sides use the same sacred texts and those who use them for violence, and providing keys to understanding Muslim and Western perceptions.

Sources of the anger for the September 11 attacks.......2001-10-14

This book explains some of the sources of the anger that drove the September 11 attacks and illuminates the vast differences between the world views of the Islamic fundamentalists and US democracy. Well worth reading and discussing.

For those seeking an academic/social perspective.......2000-11-30

Fatima Mernissi has provides an interesting, academic and social perspective of Islam and it's fear of democracy; while providing yet a solid argument for the need for Islam to embrace democracy. She persuasively argues that the positive aspects and practice of Islam would flourish if the people of Islam were to choose their faith, rather than out of ignorace or fear. The positive aspects would provide no threat to other cultures and religions, as that is true Islam. With myself being of the west, Mernissi gave me my first insights into my own stereotyping and misunderstanding of Islam that many in the West both believe in and sometimes act on. She is provocative to all who read her, whether one is Arabic, Middle Eastern, European or American. Her scholarly and simultaneously interesting work is also a must for women who are either Islamic or those who are not.
