This colorful book celebrating fifty years of America's most prominent sports magazine is certainly more practical than hoarding 2,500 issues. The six-part book plays to the strength of the magazine: "The Stories" and "The Photographs" sections are the largest. The 35 articles are truncated, often just whetting your appetite for more. The companion book Fifty Years of Great Writing offers many of these in their full glory. On the other hand, the pictures are often bigger than they were in the magazine (or could ever have been with the smaller size). Lose minutes staring at Michael Jordan or Walter Payton frozen in midair. Examine the juxtaposition of a close play at the plate with the bizarre styles of a 60s women's track team. Try not to be swept away at a shot of Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain defining basketball. If you have picked up the special issues released during SI's anniversary year, you already seen a decent portion of this book. The notable new writing is Richard Hoffer's essay about the world (both sports and at large) when the magazine began in 1954 and senior editor Frank Deford's pitch-perfect introduction about why the magazine is special and how it grew up in the age of television. The section most folks will spend their coffee table moments is "The Covers," a listing of the entire magazine's cover images, both in chronological order and grouped in similar topics (Scandals, Presidents, Deja Vu). Punctuated by the best sport quotes, SI's "Signs of the Apocalypse," fascinating lists of athletes and teams that were on the cover the most times, and other sport tidbits through the ages, this area is sure to launch a thousand sport memories. Yes, all the swimsuit covers are in one place, too. One quibble: why is their "Sports Person of the Year" in the book not the same as their well-known "Sportsman of the Year?" --Doug ThomasBook Description

Operation Redwood Quest: Search for Answers
Robert Leiterman Manufacturer: iUniverse ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 059530513X |
Book Description
When the battle to protect the ancient trees heats up, sides are chosen and lines are crossed. When difficulties disrupt plans, some people are willing to do just about anything to prove their points, even if exploiting the legendary Bigfoot compromises their beliefs and ideals.Indicator species like the spotted owl and the marbled murrelet have proven to be an exceptional tool in regulating timber harvest along California's North Coast. But for an elite group of environmental activists, it just wasn't enough.
While a group of Bigfoot researchers probe the wilderness to prove the creature existence, others use the legend to protect thousands of privately owned forests'. Backed by media attention and public support, things run smoothly until something goes terribly wrong. The outcome takes the issues into the wilderness, one of the largest remaining continuous groves of ancient trees, and into a place where neither party ever expected to go.

Shopping with Freud
Rachel Bowlby Manufacturer: Routledge ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0415060060 |
Book Description
In
Shopping with Freud, the author asks: what do we mean when we say `consumer'? Tracking the complexity of the question through literature and psychology texts: Lolita, The Picture of Dorian Gray, Lady Chatterley's Lover, and Freud's work on the Anna O. case, the book examines the surprising manifestations of the consumer subject in these works. Whether the helpless, female victim of advertising deliberately frought with psychological undercurrents to motivate buying, or the rational, male agent demanding his rights to goods and services, the meanings and appearances of the consumer are discussed and dissected, as well as the "two-way street" of influence between psychology and consumer culture.
Bowlby shows how ideas about consumption are brought to bear on questions of choice in areas seemingly far removed from shopping, and how assumptions and arguments about the psychology of consumers throw light on questions of human subjectivity.
Shoppingwith Freud will be of great interest to readers in cultural studies, sociology, literature, psychology, business studies and women's studies.

Born Free: A Lioness of Two Worlds

ASIN: 0375714383 Release Date: 2000-05-16 |
Amazon.com
First published in 1960 and closely followed by a hit movie of the same name, Joy Adamson's now classic memoir Born Free continues to introduce countless young people to the wildlife of Africa. Adamson recounts her adventures as the surrogate mother of an orphaned lion cub named Elsa (with parenting duties shared by her husband George and by a delightfully imperturbable rock hyrax named Pati), whom she raised as a welcome member of her human and animal family while painstakingly teaching Elsa the skills she would need to survive in the wild. Her teaching, against all odds, was effective: three years later, the Adamsons took Elsa to a place near that of her birth and set her loose, hoping that she would find her "real pride" among other lions of the Kenya grasslands--as she soon did.Long targeted to preteen readers, Born Free is in fact a sophisticated work of environmental consciousness-raising, for Joy Adamson believed that any relationship between humans and wild animals had to be conditioned by an attitude "of absolute equality quite different from that between a dog and his master." Although Elsa's story had an ultimately tragic ending--the young lioness died of disease and, in separate incidents, Joy and George Adamson were both murdered--Joy Adamson's book continues to instruct and entertain readers of all ages. --Gregory McNamee
Book Description
There have been many accounts of the return to the wild of tame animals, but since its original publication in 1960, when the New York Times hailed it as a "fascinating and remarkable book," Born Free has stood alone in its power to move us.Customer Reviews:

Joy Adamson has left behind a legacy of these fascinating books that moves us to treat our world with respect and have a better understanding between human-animal relationship. Joy Adamson before her death had also written, 'Living Free: Elsa and her Cubs' and 'Forever Free: Elsa's Pride.' Her family extended even further across the grasslands of Africa as she tells about them in her other books, 'The Spotted Sphinx' (about Pippa the Cheetah), 'Pippa's Challenge,' 'Pippa: The Cheetah and her Cubs,' 'Queen of Shaba: The Story of an African Leopard,' and 'Friends of the Forest.' Joy Adamson's book 'Peoples of Kenya' reflects upon the life of the Kenyan people, her concern for the people welfare there and their struggles to make an existence in a harsh, beautiful land. If you want to know more about Joy Adamson read her autobiography, 'The Searching Spirit.'
