Product Description

This is a 7" x 9.25" soft cover book - a valuable title - 1948 Stated First Edition. Black covers with Jesus on cross color illustration on front. From back cover: "The altarpieces of Jan van Eyck, Rogier van der Weyden, and Hans Memling have been praised over the centuries for the brilliance of their color and their fascination with realistic detail. Their Original liturgical functions, however, have often been ignored. Thee radiant works, created in an age of overwhelming religious intensity, were ecclesiastical objects that explained the riturals celebrated at the altars they adorned. Instead of approaching fifteenth-century painting in the Netherlands from the traditional viewpoint of stylistic development, this book concentrates on the major religious themes of the period. Through selected examples, it demonstrates how these exquisite paintings dramatized the Mass for the worshiper. This provocative study of a still enigmatic field will appeal to anyone interested in early Netherlandish painting, Christian iconography, or the climax of late medieval piety."

Book Description

Tom Wallace was the confident and poised Head of Section in the first six volumes of the critically acclaimed Queen & Country series, but that wasn't always the case. Declassified looks back at his first days as an agent as he's sent to Hong Kong to investigate the murder of a British National. But with the handover of the island to mainland China just days away, can Wallace solve the mystery without causing an international incident?

Still Solid.......2006-06-03

If you like your spy fiction full of fleshed-out characters, tight plotting, political intrigue, and a healthy dose of realism, then you should be reading Greg Rucka's Queen & Country series. Now, Queen & Country: Declassified, a spin-off that focuses on the early years of supporting players from the main series, returns with its sights on a young Tom Wallace. But is it up to Rucka's usual high standard?

It's 1997, and Hong Kong, days from transitioning to Chinese control, has become a hotbed of cloak-and-dagger operatives and wary private citizens. So when a British politico turns up (literally) dead in the water, SIS sends a surprisingly baby-faced Wallace to investigate.

The draw of Declassified is also its biggest weakness: The Queen & Country universe ebbs and flows with Tara Chace, and when she's missing, the series seems lacking. It's not that Crocker or Wallace are characters unworthy of the spotlight; it's that they're the kinds of characters who always get it.

That said, Declassified comes out ahead in the little moments, the realism and the character beats that Rucka has made the Q&C trademark. Why is it more fun to watch Wallace position himself among the shifting political players in Hong Kong than it is to watch him break someone's nose? Why is Paul Crocker more memorable ignoring his daughter in lieu of an important phone call than he is storming the halls of Vauxhall Cross? Rucka clearly understands that real tension comes from the characters' reactions to the events around them, not from the events themselves.

Wallace, the atypically gentle and fatherly figure of the first six Q&C trades, is first depicted as a soldier zombified by the wartime atrocities he's seen. It's a jarring but ultimately brilliant move by Rucka, as it allows Wallace a smooth transition to the comparatively easy work of a Minder; now we know why he's so friggin' content with what seems like the crappiest job on the planet. But really, we learn all we need to know about Wallace when he tells Crocker, "I would rather be the one doing the work than be the one watching the ones who do the work."

Semi-frequent Rucka collaborator Rick Burchett is a natural choice for the art chores. He renders simple, stark figures -- the female lead could easily be mistaken for the Lois Lane of the Fleischer Superman shorts -- against photorealistic backgrounds, as has become a Q&C standard. He gives Wallace a look somewhere between Bruce Wayne and Sean Connery circa-007, which makes it all the more amazing that Wallace comes out of the story un-sexed.

While it lacks the prescient political bite of most Q&C tales, there are still hidden agendas at play beneath hidden agendas here, and you won't understand them all until the final panel. The second volume of Declassified won't disappoint those seeking their espionage fix.

Don't start here.......2006-06-01

In my opinion, Queen & Country is probably the best comic being published now and since it started a few years ago. This is Greg Rucka's baby, and it's head & shoulders above any of his other work in comics. However, this volume is probably the worst of any of the books yet collected. A lot of that has to do with the sub-standard artwork which, while not completely incompetent, is just plain boring to look at. The story is a nice glimpse of Tom Wallace's beginnings as a Minder, and the setting during the Hong Kong transfer back to Chinese sovereignty had potential, but left a little to be desired. In any case, this is worthwhile for the Q & C diehard, but otherwise go with one of the other stellar books.

Great Pictures.......2006-12-25

I bought this as a gift for my sister for Christmas...she is OBESSED with the Friends show. The book had tons of great pictures, intervies, and information. I loved the picture on the front cover...all of the Friends stars look so beautiful! Then, on the back cover, it is amusing to see a completely opposite picture, all of hte Friends stars from one of the earlier seasons dressed very casually painting grafitti on a wall :-)

Any Friends fan will find something of interest in this book!

Book Description

Donna Gaines is the Margaret Mead of heavy metal, a turnpike intellectual, a walking, talking oxymoron. A Misfit's Manifesto is the story of her wild-in-the-burbs odyssey--from yeshiva girl to street-punk sociologist. The only child of a glamorous big-band vocalist, Donna had three fathers, including the "Kishka King of Brooklyn." Fat, lonely, and depressed, she found truth and beauty in the least likely places. Wandering the craggy terrain of Rockaway Beach, Queens, Donna embarked upon a path to enlightenment: sex, drugs, rock & roll, sociology, cosmetology, True Love, the occult, tattoos, science fiction, pizza, guns, comic books, and surfing--by Web or by sea. "Popular culture, my unholy redeemer," she proclaims.

It was Donna's consuming love of the "profane world" that gave her the courage to be, buffering her against relentless sorrow and self-loathing. Dignity, joy, and communion came not from family, organized religion, or mandatory schooling, but in the sound of doo-wop, then surf music, hard rock, punk, and grindcore. "For most of my life," she writes, "music was the only way to connect that wouldn't eventually kill me."

Through all the ripped nights of binge-drinking in rock clubs, Donna Gaines became an acclaimed author and an expert on teen suicide. In an age of conformity and censorship, Dr. Gaines defends popular culture as a powerful spiritual force, a vibrant, valid connection to God. This is an outcast's journey into the black-hole sun, where Divine love and light are found--even in Ramones songs. Donna Gaines has written a work of dazzling originality and iconoclasm, an inspiration for misfits everywhere.

Misfit With A Heart and A Brain........2006-11-10

What a fascinating and fun romp through the world of sex, drugs and rock and roll. I loved this book from cover to cover. Just couldn't put it down. A story that must be heard.

disappointing.......2006-07-17

I picked this book up thinking it would be a fan's eye view of the New York punk scene in the 70's. Although there is some of that in there, the vast majority of the book is an autobiography of the writer. This is where other's may disagree, but if you find tales of relatives, and drug use fascinating, then you will love it. If not, then you won't.

sorry, a bit of a snooze.......2005-09-06

Although I loved Gaines previous work "Teenage Wasteland," I thought this was an excruciatingly dull, self-absorbed autobiography that, for reasons unknown to all except the author, detail all the meaningless minutiae of her unremarkable life. I'm sure she is as interesting in person as the next person you meet at a rock concert who has some distant personal connection to a b-list punk rock star (I mean, the singer for the Slugs, not exactly gripping rock history there), but that's no reason to write a really, really long book about it. Just because you think the Ramones changed your life at an early age, doesn't gaurantee that you have anything terribly unique and important to say.

If you are looking for entertaining, inside accounts of the early NYC punk rock scene by someone who really lived hard with the real rock stars themselves, this is not for you.

If you are really impressed with an obscure former rock groupie's name dropping her ex boyfriend who was in a band that briefly had a former member of a much more famous band (The NY Dolls) and love hearing family stories from someone you never met and who, like half of the youth population of America at any given era, claims music was his/her best outlet, then by all means read this.

It's a great self-help book, too. . ........2003-11-29

You know a book is working when you find yourself laughing and crying over and over, and loving every minute of it. No matter what your age, gender, or musical interests, this cuts right to the heart and soul. There's not much more I can say, except "Read it -- you won't be sorry." Thanks, Doc! Luv, Nap

Life in the Fast Lane.......2003-05-16

If Donna Gaines' memoir, "A Misfits Manifesto," were expressed as music, it would be the kind of song she loves: rock and roll that's edgy and smart and fast and rollicking along with the rhythm of the street, fueled by the rebel attitude that's been at the core of rock since her childhood in the 1950s.

Gaines is a bundle of contradictions - a glue-sniffing, pill-popping teen-ager who now is "Dr. Gaines" and lectures the world over on adolescent violence and angst; a feminist who is a card-carrying member of the NRA and a porn connoiseur; a Jewish girl who crossed the lines early and fell for Irish boys; a two-time college dropout who is a renowned writer and academician. The only consistency in her life seems to be that she does everything at full-throttle, living her life like great rock and roll.

Most readers probably will know Gaines best as the esteemed sociologist who authored "Teenage Wasteland: Suburbia's Dead End Kids," a landmark empathic look at adolescent anomie. Fans of rock and popular culture - especially readers of New York's Village Voice newspaper - know her as a correspondent on everything from the Ramones to Jews online.

In this book, Gaines manages to cram all her disparate cultural interests and twists and turns of her life's journey into one rough-cut diamond and displays them like glittery facets under a jeweler's loupe.

The book starts off innocuously enough, with a rather conventional narrative about her parents (her mother was widowed twice, so Gaines writes about having three dads in her life) and growing up in the New York suburb of Rockaway Beach.

Early on, Gaines brings in rock and roll as the soundtrack to her life, to the point of taking rock critical detours from describing her increasingly wild, addiction-prone youth. She goes to great lengths to explain the appeal of doo wop, the New York girl group sound, and later, punk rock, heavy metal and the Ramones. Always, the music served as cultural guideposts for her various obsessions.

And, she evocatively captures the fancies and foibles of growing up. "As nature began to torture my body into uninvited childbearing functions, the Matron Saints of Big Hair poke to me, direct from the heart," she writes.

The first part of the book is a rush, her life flashing by with urban flavor and a jumble of friends identified mostly by streetwise nicknames: Muggs, the Swamp Foxes, the Thieves, Swytie, all cruising their 'hood and growing up too fast. Given the excesses she enjoys, it's a wonder she's still alive by the time she graduates from high school.

She begins to find self-motivation in her 20s, when she realized that "at a certain point, you know your parents think you're a loser."

She writes, "Unless I made a move, all the world would ever know about me is that I was spoiled, dumb, passive, intermittently fat, lazy, and unable to do anything right. The would be my life story. The end."

In the second half of the book, Gaines finds her calling - as a sociologist, which she realizes she was even as a kid - and then falls into writing for the Village Voice and then other publications, balancing her academic professional life with an alcoholic, night-crawling rock and roll alter-ego known as Tessa.

By the end, she's at peace with the whole of herself and understands her place as an outsider, a misfit.

In fact, she offers the moral of the book right upfront, in the Author's notes: "You can transcend the urge to self-destruct and find the courage to be who you are.... Whether you are a loner by choice or resignation, labeled an outcast or you just feel like one, you are not alone. In fact, you're among some pretty awesome folks."

Like Donna Gaines, for instance. ...
