Connections: Short Stories by Outstanding Writers for Young Adults
Published in Library Binding by Bt Bound (October, 1999)
Amazon base price: $12.40
Average review score:
An excellent collection of short stories for young adultsI am so pleased to see this book back in print. I first used this book in a summer school class for entering freshmen six years ago, and my students loved it. There are wonderful stories to be found here, from some of the best writers of young adult fiction in the business. Chris Crutcher's "A Brief Moment in the Life of Angus Bethune" is probably the best of the book (and far better than the movie "Angus"). There is also an absolutely first-rate rarity, the second-person point of view story, in Gordon Korman's hilarious "A Reasonable Sum." If you're a teacher looking for some contemporary short stories for teenagers, or you just love to read well-written stories, then "Connections" is a great find.

Review of WhaleyThe tapes are very helpful if you have done the basic reading. These tapes are an excellent review tool. They lay out the bare structure of contracts where all the major issues are organized by topic. Obviously no one can cover everthing in detail on only four tapes, but if you are already somewhat familiar with the issues - these tapes by Whaley are great. I recommend them for reviewing for finals or as an everyday brushup.

Inspiring,beautiful and full of good tipsAs a beginning pastelist, I found this book to be quite an
inspirational journey. It showed me possibilities and beauty
in a medium unfamiliar to most. I had a sense of being
educated almost unconciuosly because I was so engrossed in
the information and drawn into the beauty of this book. I
highly recommend it as a reference tool and as a treat for
the eyes.
Denys the Areopagite (Outstanding Christian Thinkers)
Published in Paperback by Continuum (August, 2002)
Amazon base price: $24.95
Average review score:
One of the greatest Christian mysticsLouth's introduction to Denys is outstanding. It provides helpful insights into the thought of a Christian mystical theologian whose insights played a large role in the formation of the traditional Western Roman liturgy and whose insights are still foundational to Eastern Orthodox conceptions of liturgy and theology. It is a shame that it is out of print. See Denys' complete works: "The Complete Works of Pseudo-Dionysius" published by Paulist Press.

Ethel Jenner Rosenberg: The Life and Times of England's Outstanding
Published in Paperback by George Ronald Pub Ltd (1995)
Amazon base price: $24.95
Average review score:
Early years of the Baha'i Faith in BritainEthel Jenner Rosenberg was a painetr and miniaturist who in 1899 became the first native of England to become a Baha'i in that country. She had learned about it from Mary Virginia Thornburgh-Cropper, who was the first person in Britain to convert to this faith. Despite her resoundingly English-sounding name Thornburgh-Cropper was actually American.
Ethel Rosenberg went on to become a stalwart member of the growing British Baha'i community for the rest of her life, ensuring her place in history.
The book puts her life and experiences in context and is in effect a history of that new and growing community from the end of the Nineteenth Century through the first third or so of the Twentieth, and deals with a number of other significant figures as well

William Gottlieb stumbled onto photography by default. As a young reporter covering jazz during the 1930s and 1940s, he discovered that the Washington Post couldn't be bothered to dispatch a staff photographer. Gottlieb took to lugging along his Speed Graphic and a generous supply of flashbulbs, and as he interviewed his subjects he took pictures of them as well--brilliant pictures, in fact. Many have become canonical images: who can think of Billie Holiday, for example, without visualizing Gottlieb's famous head shot? Likewise, his whimsical photos of Dizzy Gillespie have become bebop icons. Yet his group portraits are even richer, suggesting miniature narratives and then leaving it to the viewer to provide the ending. (Which of Ellington's sidemen, I want to know, won that poker game so assiduously witnessed by Django Reinhardt?) The Golden Age of Jazz collects more than 200 of these gems, along with an informative text by the photographer, and it's hard to imagine a better source of visual delights for a jazz fan.

Really neat!!!This book is really good. It has great pictures, and it really illustrates what jazz is like. If you are a jazz fan, this is the book to get!!!
