Book Description
Emily Spook's reputation in the indy art scene is growing. Her paintings have a devoted following and the ranks of that group continue to swell more every day. Emily should be thrilled but instead she's terrified. You see, ever since she was a young girl, Emily has been somewhat of a hostel for ghosts. Visitors from the ether would drop in for a few days or a month or even years and from those specters Emily would draw inspiration. But lately the ghosts have disappeared, leaving Emily alone and unable to touch a canvas. When Simon's consciousness first shows up inside Emily's skull she's relieved, but before long she's fallen into the same web of mystics and murder that ended Simon's life. Can the unlikely pair discover the truth about Simon's gruesome death or will Emily join the spirits she's played host to all these years?

Great story & art. It's worth cover price...a steal at Amazon's discount........2006-06-03
This story, about a girl who finds herself talking to dead people, started off with a concept that everyone seems to have jumped on. Sixth Sense Meets "insert any other concept here". Luckily for us, Antony didn't stick with the "Ghost Whisperer" angle. I highly recommend this overlooked indy gem.
Spooky thriller!.......2004-04-26
I gave this dark, spooky thriller 5 stars because of the incredible illustrations by Ross Campbell. Emily is so expressive - you can feel her anguish. The story itself gets 4 stars because Johnston wraps up the ending too fast. I'm not really sure what road Emily is going to choose, but I sure do hope that he's writing a sequel so I can find out and that Campbell will be doing the illustrations!
Book Description
The liveliness and importance of Spanish cinema is increasingly being recognised outside Spain, in film festivals, television exposure, and courses in Institutions of Higher Education. To a large extent this is 'auteur' or art-movie cinema. Spanish Cinema concentrates upon that tradition, focusing upon the key films in a period stretching from 1952 to the present day. The term 'auteur' has lately fallen into disrepute. The idea - most actively promoted by Cahiers du Cinema in the late 1950s and early 1960s - that the director is to a film what an author is to a poem, play or novel, has been subjected to much criticism since structuralist and post-structuralist attacks on the author. But even in pre-'death of the author' days film raised its own specific problems about authorship. Nevertheless, since the initial excitement of French critical theory's provocative assault on conventional notions of authorship, and taking into account specific problems related to the collaborative nature of film-making, attempts have recently been made to reclaim some of the ground lost by the author in these critical and theoretical battles. This volume offers lively readings of films by key directors working to a large extent in the art-movie/'auteurist' field, and aims to strike a balance between representative films, directors and periods. Each chapter concentrates on a single film, discussing it in accessible critical language that takes account both of the distinctiveness of film as an art form and of the material and socio-historical contexts in which each film was made.

Cantinflas and the Chaos of Mexican Modernity (Latin American Silhouettes)

Customer Reviews:
Pompous.......2007-04-02
I think these essays are pompous, overblown, self-conscious, and self-centered. The essays do not convey much information. They are exercises in writing, exercises in reading. I think an interesting idea for a book would be one that actually conveys some concept and understanding of Mexican culture to an outsider with an interest and sufficient familiarity to begin to understand. This is not that book.
Provoctive, sharp, intelligent..........1999-08-25
Stavans is a wonderful commentator of Latin American civilization. He is sharp, urbane, erudite. I love his style. I think it is even tender.
Excellent essays. Stavans has a unique viewpoint..........1999-07-09
I loved these essays. Stavans is sharp, intelligent, uncompromising. His views on Cantinflas and Subcomandante Marcos are through-provoking and his piece on Sandra Cisneros finally placed her in the right perspective. A wonderful read!

quick tour of the basics.......2005-08-06
A vivid and cute exposition of Microsoft Windows XP. The images are boldly coloured and sometimes just seem to reach out and grab you by the lapels. The tour is actually fairly brief, in terms of the coverage of XP's features. But in fairness, Maran is not offering a comprehensive exposition. Instead, for the beginner, she deems it more important to convey the typical common tasks that you will want to do. Later on, you can consult a more detailed text for the extra stuff.
The text is also well suited to a young audience. Though by no means limited to them.

How to do Things I Never Thought About Before.......2005-05-29
I like 'hot tip' books. Every time I pick up one, I find something that I find useful that I never knew about before.
When I first picked up this book and started thumbing through it I found Hot Tip #49. It is named "Quickly shut down Windows with a souble-click." How come I didn't know this before? It is certainly something that I can use. I find clicking Start (Ignoring that Start shouldn't mean Stop), then clicking on Turn Off Computer, and then having to confirm that yes, this is really what I want to do to be a drag.
This tip, like all the others in the book uses the famous Maran full-color illustrated approach to tell how to do it. I did it on my computer, and everything looked exactly like their illustrations, it took about a minute, and now there's a shortcut named ShutDown on my desktop.
There are a hundred and one such hot tips in this book. Many, like "Customize the Mouse for Left-Handed Users," don't interest me.
All in all, I set up a handful of things following their directions, and there is another handful that I'm thinking about. What more can you expect out of a little, inexpensive book like this one?
Didn't live up to expectations.......2005-05-17
It isn't "a valuable resource for all readers", but might be to those who don't mind cheesy graphics and those who want to see what they could've learned from the Windows XP help menu. I thought the tips would enhance my knowledge of XP beyond what I already know, but was very disappointed. There are other more informative "illustrated" XP guides out there.

Greenhorn Review.......2007-03-15
My computer skills are limited, but this book was recommended to me by a knowledgeable friend as a resource. I am using it that way, so have not been into it that much. It does have great illustrations and directions clearly illustrated.
Another Maran winner.......2007-01-21
Purchased for a friend and his first time use of a computer. I really like the Maran books - a mixture of pictures and short descriptions are much more helpful than any other "help" books I have purchased.
Maran Illustrated Windows XP (Maran Illustrated.......2007-01-13
For me this book is a total ABC for beginners or people who know a little but don't really understand all the jargon in most manuals. Easy to follow steps to upgrade your skills.
Great Guide.......2006-04-09
Excellent learning tool for the beginner. Everything is broken down into simple steps and the illustrations make each step simple to understand and commit to memory. I had a text only book and believe me, this is so much better. I'm actually enjoying learing Windows XP now.

I love the "Maran series" books. They are very helpful for people who are no computer geniuses, since give you step by step instructions.

In our increasingly visual culture, a growing amount of what we learn about history comes from the movies. This unusual and cornucopian book draws on the knowledge of 60 experts who examine the historical accuracy of a splendid array of classic movies such as Julius Caesar, Aguirre the Wrath of God, Mutiny on the Bounty, The Last of the Mohicans, Gallipoli, and Gandhi. They reveal what each movie has done right and wrong in portraying the complex threads of the stories as known to the world's most qualified scholars. Highly Recommended.
Book Description
In this widely-acclaimed volume, some of our greatest historians address the facts-and fiction-as seen in Hollywood's often epic recreations of historical events. Distinghuished historians such as Stephen Ambrose, Antonia Fraser, James McPherson, Gerda Lerner, Dee Brown, Frances FitzGerald, David Levering Lewis, and Simon Schama explore the relationship between film and the historical record. Offering hundreds of movie stills, archival photographs, maps, and other illustrations, along with sidebars on related historical events, Past Imperfect sheds new light on the uses of history in popular culture.

The Beauty of the Cinema.......2002-10-03
This book is commendable for its conception but is flawed in its premise and execution. The problem is there are too many fingers in the pie. I would have liked to read about one historian's perspective on all the films reviewed. Instead, each film was addressed and compared to historical recollections by a different author. There is no uniformity of thought or perspective. For instance, I am sure that if Stephen Ambrose had reviewed TORA! TORA! TORA! he may have seen that film in a much more favorable light than did Akira Iriye. One can speculate to infinitum. It is possible to find and read countless books on a given historical topic. The point I am making is that each author has the ability to bring different perspectives or interpretations of historical record that may result in different conclusions of events or more importantly ideas. If you were to ask an auditorium full of historians what was the most important factor contributing to the start of the Civil War I am sure you may get at least five good answers. Perhaps the idea that a film conveys is more important than the accuracy of each step that led to that idea. I think that SPARTACUS is an important film not as a representation of a historical record but for the idea that the inherent rights of human beings to live free is a notion worth dying for. Kirk Douglas as SPARTACUS stated something to the effect that he would never stand by and see two men battle and die just for the amusement of other men. There is something very noble about that statement and to the visuals on the screen that precipitated that assertion. To touch a chord of emotion from the audience is really the magic of the cinema. I never once ever thought that the purpose of the cinema was to teach history. For the audience the main purpose of the cinema is to be entertained and if you take it a few more steps perhaps come away with an idea or spark of imagination. That's the beauty of the cinema.
Good but Not Perfect.......2002-01-24
This is a very interesting and useful book but I don't exactly like the overall point of view that it takes on motion pictures. It takes many historically based films and critiques them by comparing what is on the screen to actual historical events. Each chapter is devoted to one film (in most instances) and is critiqued by a different authority. The one constant that I see running throughout this book is that history does not make for good motion pictures if you are gazing through the eyes of the historian. That disturbs me. Motion pictures are a business as well a legitimate art form. If a historically based movie gets your interest as well as entertains you then perhaps that movie has fulfilled its purpose. The movie is the catalyst. It is up to you to dig up the history book and see what was recorded. And if you dig up a second history book it is very possible that those same events may be recorded slightly different. I liked the critique by Sean Wilentz on "THE BUCCANEER: Two Films" where he states that they stand somewhere in between fact and fiction. Akira Iriye is too critical of TORA! TORA! TORA! When you recall that particular motion picture, that's the one that stands out as a film that tried to get all the facts correct. Americans and Japanese respective of their home countries directed it. Iriye's criticism is almost ludicrous trying to state that inflections in the voices of some of the actors actually distorted the true meaning of their words. In light of PEARL HARBOR (2001) Akira Iriye is way off mark. Marshall De Bruhl's words about THE ALAMO are redundant and superficial. THE ALAMO was John Wayne's screen fulfillment of the legend. THE ALAMO is a great American film and it perpetuates that legend till this day. I liked what Stephen E. Ambrose had to say about THE LONGEST DAY. Ambrose recognizes that half the duality of filmmaking is a business. His approach and comments are very insightful and well written. As seen by James H. McPerson GLORY comes off best. It deserves it. "PAST IMPERFECT" is a good book but I just wish there were more input from the filmmakers.
Can you properly portray history in the movies?.......2001-11-14
When you're both a student of history and a movie buff, as I am, it can be difficult to sit and watch a film that presumes to have an accurate historical context without fighting the urge to evaluate it and pick holes in it. And I'm not the only one. This is a collection of analytical essays, most of high quality, by experts (not all of them historians) analyzing and critiquing individual films: Stephen Jay Gould on _Jurassic Park,_ Antonia Fraser on _Anne of the Thousand Days,_ Thomas Fleming on _1776,_ Dee Brown on _Fort Apache,_ William Manchester on _Young Winston,_ and numerous others. Sticking to those films about which I have some knowledge of the historical events they claim to portray, most are right on the money. James McPherson, commenting on _Glory,_ points out that while the context and general atmosphere are very well done, and the costuming and so on are exact, there are still deliberate historical errors for the sake of drama; none of the soldiers in Col. Shaw's 54th Massachusetts were ex-slaves, for instance, all of them having been recruited from among the state's free black population. And Catherine Clinton does an excellent job taking the wind out of _Gone with the Wind_'s mythical sails. There's a great deal of good information and criticism here and it's a compliment to say that nearly any of these essays will start an argument.
Let's have a revised edition...PLEASE???.......2000-11-08
This book is just too damn interesting not to go into a revised edition that would, welcomingly, include a few more recent examples of the movies portending to convey history. It is cleverly organized, with an actual historical "timeline" that is matched with a selected movie that attempted to portray events for that period or year. It starts all the way back in the Jurrasic period, with "Jurrasic Park," of course. Each movie critique is written by a different film expert or historian, so you get a lot of diversity of perspective as well as writing style. There is a very intelligent interview of director John Sayles ("Eight Men Out" "Metowan") in the preface, which may be reason enough for film buffs to purchase this book.
One can either browse through the book and focus on "favorite" or "hated" films of the past, or read it straight through. Each essay offers at least one very good insight on the nature of history and how elusive the "accurate" accounting of an era or event can be.
The overall impression this book leaves is that movies, for all their ostensible efforts to "recreate" historical realities, will NEVER get it quite right. That's because they are products of their own times, and cannot ever fully escape the sensibilities of their own historical eras. Given this approach, the reader cannot help but gain a deeper appreciation for the exacting work of historians -- even if he or she is first attracted to the book out of interest in film. Films (and histories) explored here include "Spartacus," "Aguirre, Wrath of God," "Houdini" "Anne of a Thousand Days," "Henry V" (both Oliver and Branagh)"They Died With their Boots On", as well as many more. Since this book's publication, there have been more films that have either come close to, or completely mangled historical reality, so a revised edition would be most welomed. So to Mark Carnes, et al. -- PLEASE???
Perfect for the film buff and the historian........2000-07-13
A book that unites two of my passions: history and cinema. Great essays that not only discuss the movies themselves; but also put the times that movies were made in a historical context. These movies often reveal more about the time the movie was made in than the historical period the movie is about.
My only complaint? Wish there wasa volume two!
Customer Reviews:
Content varies greatly from historian to historian.......2007-07-02
Historians review historical movies: great idea!
Do it in the context of political correctness: not such a great idea.
Now I'm familiar with most of the movies as well as the work of many of the reviewers. Most of the individual reviews are dead-on the money as far as I can tell. You can't learn much about history by watching movies, no matter how good they are. In fact, as some of the writers point out, the better some of these movies are the LESS likely they are to portray events accurately.
But what went into the decision-making process of selecting some of these movies? Tea and sympathy? What world-shaking event is THAT movie supposed to be portraying? Fort Apache? It doesn't even purport to portray and actual event. Dr. Strangelove? Come on.
Tea and Sympathy is only included so the author has an opportunity to discuss McCarthy and his rabid anti-homosexual agenda (I guess he didn't like ANYBODY) which is the kind of noise any intelligent and "open-minded" individual is supposed to make these days.
Dr. Stranglelove is included because it looks at how the Third World War was begun by crazed warmongers like General LeMay... oh, wait. That didn't happen.
Apocalypse Now? Well, if that is supposed to be Kerry's latest version of his service in Vietnam, I guess that might count.
There were a lot of other movies which really should have been included but weren't. The Bunker comes to mind, as well as Lawrence of Arabia and the Last Emperor.
Oh well. Maybe someone will take this idea and do it better some day.

Book Description
Most people are familiar with NASA and the Soviet and then Russian space programs, but how many people have heard of the Austrian Space Agency? Space Ireland? SUPARCO of Pakistan? Space exploration and space-related scientific applications, far from being the province of the superpowers, are a worldwide effort and are developing in some seemingly unlikely places. Forty-two countries or groups of countries, besides the United States, have or have had active space programs.
This near-comprehensive (American agencies, well documented elsewhere, are omitted) history of the worlds space programs is full of detailed information. The heavily illustrated chapters, arranged alphabetically, describe each country's facilities; launch vehicles, rockets and satellites; major areas of research; and more.
Book Description
"Count wherever you can" was the motto of Sir Francis Galton's extraordinary life. His measuring mind left its mark all over the scientific landscape. Explorer, inventor, meteorologist, psychologist, anthropologist, and statistician, Galton was one of the great Victorian polymaths. And his obsessive quest for knowledge extended far beyond conventional fields of learning. He turned tea-making into a theoretical science, counted the brush strokes on his portrait, and created a beauty map of the British Isles, ranking its cities on the basis of their feminine allure. But it was in the fledgling field of genetics that he made his most indelible impression. Galton kick-started the enduring nature/nurture debate and took hereditary determinism to its darkest extreme, dreaming of a future society built on a race of pure-breeding supermen.
Through this colorful biography, Martin Brookes examines Galton's scientific legacy and takes us on a fascinating journey to the origins of modern human genetics.

The book to choose for a general bio of Galton........2006-06-19
An enjoyable introduction to Sir Francis Galton, the brilliant Victorian who gave us weather maps, fingerprints, and (on a less positive note) eugenics. Galton loved to measure things; wherever he was, whatever he was doing, it seems that he found something in his surroundings to measure. His curiosity and enthusiasm for life and discovery make him a sympathetic character even considering his racism, sexism, and classism; he was, after all, a product of his upper-middle-class Victorian environment.
This version of his life story is a good read; choose it instead of Gillham's version unless you want to get into the actual science of what he was doing. One major fault of the Brookes book: it doesn't have an index. Gillham's book has an extensive one.
What would make a Galton biography one step better: more analysis of why Galton became who he was and perhaps a deeper look into his own writings, along with the impact that Galton has on science and psychology today.
