Art finally speaks for itself. Hysterical captions put to photos of famous art pieces from right out of the art piece's mouth (so to speak). Does The Thinker have a problem, What is the story behind the Leaning Tower and Venus - What was she doing rising nude out of that shell? Here at last are the answers to these and many other art puzzlers.

Book Description

Crimson Hero takes volleyball and bents it like Beckham in a story that pits traditional values against the love of the game. All that matters to 15 year old Nobara Sumiyoshi is volleyball; she is an awesome volleyball player with big time ambitions. But sometimes it seems like a girl just can not get a break in the competitive world of high school volleyball.

Crimson Hero.......2006-03-13

I absolutly love this this manga. It is the best one that I have ever read. I first read it in the magazine ShojoBeat that a frind of mine ownes. Out of all the different types of manga's in the intire magazine, Crimson Hero is my absolute favorite one. I can't wait till I get the rest of the series.
Thank you.

Try it.......2005-11-28

Okay, so the way I read this manga is I read it in Shojo Beat, a magazine of manga being published in America. At first I refused to read it because I thought, "Ew, volleyball? A sports story? No way, Jose!" But then I was bored one day and decided to check it out and it was actually good! (One of the main reasons I refused to read it was because I thought the main character was too guy-like. Turns out, the person I thought was too guy-like WAS a guy... Hmmm...) But no, the main character is actually a girl and despite it being about volleyball, this is still shojo and doesn't absolutely FOCUS on volleyball action like you'd expect it to if it were shonen. The characters are still nice and the only reason I'm only giving it four stars is because the artwork is a little dodgy when it comes to faces and three-quarter profiles. But it IS a good story!

Anker's Plight.......2007-03-19

This novel brilliantly reflects the chaotic relationship between the "helper" and the "helping profession." Mental health professionals will see parallels in their own careers, where the agenda of the administering agency actually prevents the service it was established to provide, and where the motivation of the professional is perverted from service to others to institutional survival.

Anker's Plight is a romp through the frustrating world of academia.......2007-03-18

Ted Anker's battle to maintain a Mental Health Program at Malform College gives us a very funny peek into the Mental Health profession. Anyone who has bumped into the power plays of Academia will be nodding and laughing as well as identifying with Anker's frustration (his "plight"). Fortunately for the reader, Dr. Amada does not take himself too seriously,(although he is apparently very qualified to do so) and the book manages to be a romp even as it credibly dresses down Academia This book should be appealing to many readers.

Funny, frustrating, and familiar.......2007-03-17

With the themes of individuals speaking truth to power amidst the politics that permeate social service agencies and higher education, Anker's Plight, takes the reader through a range of emotions as we follow the psychotherapy career of Dr. Anker. His passion for his clients and his profession is contagious, his humor is hysterical, and his plight is one we can all identify with. This novel is a must read for anyone in mental health or higher education. You'll laugh, cry, and be inspired to keep up the fight...

Highly recommended!.......2005-07-27

This fun little book is a must have for anyone with a DVD collection - and isn't that just about everyone? Anyway, you probably already know that many DVDs come with "Easter eggs," that is, secret little extras that you need to hunt for. This book contains a list of Easter Egg-carrying DVDs, containing information on studio, release date, director, and stars. After that, you get a brief synopsis of the movie, and then in-depth directions on finding the Easter eggs.

Yep, this is a great book, one that will set you to digging out your old DVDs. It is not a sequel to the first DVD Confidential book, but is actually an expanded edition - everything that is in the first book is in the second, and more. I love this book, and highly recommend it to everyone!

Book Description

In clear and elegant prose, Music of the Common Tongue, first published in 1987, argues that by any reasonable reckoning of the function of music in human life the African American tradition, that which stems from the collision between African and European ways of doing music which occurred in the Americas and the Caribbean during and after slavery, is the major western music of the twentieth century. In showing why this is so, the author presents not only an account of African American music from its origins but also a more general consideration of the nature of the music act and of its function in human life. The two streams of discussion occupy alternate chapters so that each casts light on the other. The author offers also an answer to what the Musical Times called the "seldom posed though glaringly obtrusive" question: "why is it that the music of an alienated, oppressed, often persecuted black minority should have made so powerful an impact on the entire industrialized world, whatever the color of its skin or economic status?"

Essential reading.......2006-12-10

This book is worth its weight in gold. I originally picked it up while doing research on life insurance options. But after reading the first chapter on auto insurance, we called our agent, raised our libability limits and deductibles, got rid of unnecessary coverage and ended up saving ourselves $250 a year! The author, who has worked in the insurance industry for years, makes things plain and simple and illustrates his points with easy-to-understand charts. Now I feel like we actually have a clue about what we're buying, and I feel much more secure knowing we'll likely be well covered in the event of a catastrophe. This should be on every homeowner's bookshelf.

Invaluable..........2006-11-26

I know I'm getting older when I start reading and writing reviews about insurance books.

I'm not a big fan of the "dummies" books for a few reasons: (1) First my ego...I have to admit I don't want a book on my shelf that is a dummy guide for anything, and (2) I don't want to buy another reference book that is going to sit on my shelf and collect dust.

I purchased this book b/c I had big questions about car insurance, life insurance, and umbrella policies. No concerns about house insurance, which seemed to be the biggest complaint about the book.

Quite frankly, it answered all of my questions. Before reading this book, I didn't even know the difference between collision, liability, and comprehensive insurance; and I had no clue how much insurance I should carry for that "break glass in case of emergency" type accident. And like all of the dummy books, the text is informative while remaining engaging , and actually entertaining-even though the subject is insurance.

I actually feel empowered after reading this book. It led me to purchase an inexpensive umbrella policy (if you don' t have one, you need it) that will certainly make me sleep better at night.

This is one of those books that after you read/reference it, you'll wonder how you ever operated in the past without the knowledge it contains.

Don't put too much trust in earthly treasures, but you should certainly protect what you do have!

Not as Good as I Expected.......2006-11-08

My house was a total loss after a fire. I needed info on home insurance so I got this book. BIG disappointment. No help at all.
I then got another book on Amazon titled "Mold, Fire, Flood & Other Topics: Homeowners Insurance Explained." Great book--I recommend it.

Disappointing.......2006-03-22

I thought this book would give objective advice on how much insurance someone should buy. It told me a few things I didn't know but I wouldn't have paid the price for the book for two or three pages of useful advice.

Lacks Depth in Homeowners Insurance Discussion.......2005-04-05

I was looking for a book that discussed IN DETAIL homeowners insurance, and I didn't find it in thisone.

Claims, how to appeal a denied claim, mold, how to avoid being under-insured and/or cancelled--these subjects are ignored, even though they're important to me and most people I know.

This book is a WASTE OF MONEY if what you're looking for is in-depth info on homeowners insurance.

Definitely worth a read if you're struggling financially.......2007-10-05

I got this book right after purchasing my first house, because I knew I needed help with several things: 1) staying on top of my money so I could pay the mortgage on time every month, 2) understanding all my options regarding things like refinancing my home and so on, 3) starting a savings account, and 4) some sort of retirement account sometime in the future. This book has helped me with all of those. The author seems somewhat conservative at certain points, and advises a few things I wouldn't do (or advises against things I don't think are as big of a risk as he does)--but hey, he's a finance guy, of course he's conservative! Overall, this book is very clearly and simply written, and exhaustive in what it covers. I feel like I'm well on my way toward much better financial health as a result of reading it.

Best Gift for Children - of all ages.......2007-08-25

Ive given away too many of my copies of this book. Now each of my three children have their own copy. It is making them much more responsible for their finances. And that is a parent's best gift- to ourselves.

comprehensive and concise.......2007-07-27

No matter how old you are or how much money you make, you can use the advice in this book. This book is not sensationalist in any way; the author does not try to apply one formula to everyone's financial situation. Instead, this book helps you realize on paper what your current financial picture looks like, and then helps you to form and plan sensible goals.

It comprehensively yet succinctly addresses banking, saving, investing, spending, debt management, taxes, real estate, and insurance.

10 years and the book is still useful.......2007-07-19

I bought this book in 1999 after my husband and I graduated and got jobs. We still use this book extensively. From getting the right type of insurance coverage to help planning our portfolio, this book has been invaluable.

The book is very practical - my husband and I have strong theoretical training in finance but needed this book to translate that knowledge into action.

This book will pay for itself in no time. Buy it!

I really like it.......2007-06-30

I have been clueless and careless about financial responsibilities. I have always had my parents to provide for me. After starting a family of my own, buying a house, and realizing I can't rely on my parent to provide for my retirement, I needed to learn about money. This book has been so informative and so on target. We have met with a financial advisor that has set up things for us before I even bought the book. So while reading, I'm realizing I could have done this on my own with the help of this book. It is very simple to read and understand (I'm not a genius or corporate world savy...just a suburban mom) and I enjoyed reading this and learning all sorts of ways to save and invest and pay off our many debts. I wish they supplied this book during high school before everyone starts racking up their debt.
