Book Description
As the lead singer of the Doors, Jim Morrison's searing poetic vision and voracious appetite for sexual, spiritual, and psychedelic experience inflamed the spirit and psyche of a generation. Since his mysterious death in 1971, millions more fans from a new generation have embraced his legacy, as layers of myth have gathered to enshroud the life, career, and true character of the man who was James Douglas Morrison.
In Jim Morrison, critically acclaimed journalist Stephen Davis, author of Hammer of the Gods, unmasks Morrison's constructed personas of the Lizard King and Mr. Mojo Risin' to reveal a man of fierce intelligence whose own destructive tendencies both fueled his creative ambitions and brought about his downfall. Gathered from dozens of original interviews and investigations of Morrison's personal journals, Davis has assembled a vivid portrait of a misunderstood genius, tracing the arc of Morrison's life from his troubled youth to his international stardom, when his drug and alcohol binges, tumultuous sexual affairs, and fractious personal relationships reached a frenzied peak. For the first time, Davis is able to reconstruct Morrison's last days in Paris to solve one of the greatest mysteries in music history in a shocking final chapter.
Compelling and harrowing, intimate and revelatory, Jim Morrison is the definitive biography of the rock idol in snakeskin and leather who defined the 1960s.
Customer Reviews:
pretty good, but..........2007-09-10
I couldn;'t put this book down. I read it in two days, which is fast for me.
I got this book because I've realized that the doors are the reason why I'm interested in literature, philosophy, hallucinogens, music, Bukowski, etc.
I'm very unoriginal.
Just for the record, I liked Ollie Stone's The Doors when it came out, but hey, I was 20 years old then. Now I think the movie plain sucks, except for Val Kilmer's resurrecting performance.
Davis's book is good in parts, but for someone who studied history and philosophy in college, I'd like to see some footnotes. It has none, giving me the impression he took some liberties like Stone did. At least Stephen Davis tells you when he's speculating.
The newest thing for me in this book is that Morrison was bisexual. It kind of fits.
Well-written. I found myself reading it with a dictionary close at hand. DAavis's vocab is stellar.
A lot of what others said in their reviews is dead-on, not a lot of new info. The part about his death is total speculation. No way anyone can know of the things that Davis wrote.
Worth the money, however.
And for the reviewer who said the Doors were "less pychedelic" that person needs some acid bad. I've always thought the Doors were the most pyschedelic band ever. Morrison's lyrics are so trippy, even for me who has not done an hallucinogen in 10 years.
One thing that Davis did do for me is he kind of, without intending to do so, showed me that Morrison's death and the death of Kurt Cobain are awfully similar. they both had crazy, heroin addicted girlfriends, and murder or suicide could have been the cause.
'til the music's over....
A legend from the 1960's!!!.......2007-07-08
This is the best book I had read about Jim Morrison,is very interesting,it talks about his entire life,and the most sad his death,but anyways if you are a Jim Morrison fan,buy it; you will like it,it takes you inside the book like if you are there with the singer by his side,I own a mini collection about The Doors,and this is a good book to add to your collection if you don't have one,start with this book!!!
A Psychedelic Experiance Through The Eyes Of Jimmy.......2007-05-29
all my life i have been facinated with the life and death of jim morrison, reading this book has given me great detials about alot of situations in his life that could have influenced the way he acted. i defenetly suggest that you read this though with a warning, do not let this book influence your life. its a great read though quite thick, but once you get started you defenetly cant stop. Thanks guys
Tawdry Cut-and-Paste Cheap-o RIPOFF.......2006-10-31
Interior-the author's head-night
Uhh...I write rock bios for a living..I need to do another one,let's see--I think I'll write a Jim Morrison book next.Yeah,Jim Morrison-he's dead,he qualifys.
Forget doing research and interviews--ahh,maybe one or two to make it look legit..but I'll just get whatever Jim Morrison books have been written already,jot down some notes--sensationalize it by amping up any potential negative angles and presto! I've written a new book about Jim Morrison that everyone will want to read.Jesus,I'm so clever!!
(fade out)
Aside from two or three photos-this depressing book is about 90% rehashed MUST TO AVOID BS--DO NOT read it,borrow it or even THINK about it.It is unfair to Morrison's memory and puts one more nail in the coffin of the Doors' legacy,standing in line right behind Oliver Stone's disgraceful 1990 theatrical assasination-THANKS GUYS
Overall a good and enlightening book.......2006-03-19
While I have to agree that Stephen Davis does seem to focus on the negative side of Jim I would have to say that Jim's negative side is what comes out the strongest when looking back into history. This book did a VERY good job explaining his childhood and how that developed him into the amazing man he would become. I am especially interested in that because I am 15 years old. I disagree with those who say this book wasn't researched, because the author gives a long list of books used while writing it. This book really clears up most of the mystery surrounding Jim and his tragic death so that now there is not very much doubt in my mind as to how Jim died. He wasnt murdered, it wasn't suicide. Overall this is a good book about Jim's amazing life and how he lived it.

Outstanding Book Regarding Ethics in Athletics.......2000-09-23
Mr. Simon demonstrated thorough research and thought provoking writing on the subjects of sport and athletics. It is a book that anyone involved in athletics (in particular, intercollegiate athletics) MUST read! Buy two copies--one to keep for your own personal library and one to lend to a friend who is involved in athletics. This book opened my mind to different aspects of sport and athletics. Simply a must read!!!

Written for the reader with a little background in software engineering and test management, Test Process Improvement is an innovative guide to improving how your organization tests software. It's got plenty to offer any test engineer or manager.
This short yet densely packed text outlines the Test Process Improvement (TPI) model for software testing. While there are other testing models available today (like the Testing Maturity Model, or TMM), the authors suggest that TPI offers more detail than its rivals. TPI measures testing effectiveness in 20 "key areas," in such categories as test strategy, metrics, tools, and communication, plus defect and test process management.
After a short overview of the kinds of testing in use today, the book delves into each of these 20 areas in considerable detail with criteria for up to four levels of effectiveness (labeled "A" through "D"). By working through these categories, an organization can both gauge its current testing process and make it better with the book's "improvement suggestions." You'll appreciate this text most if you have some interest in software engineering. (The authors, who are Dutch, write clearly, but this is by no means light reading.) There are plenty of easy-to-digest tables and lists, which will be most practical for the busy testing professional. Other useful sections include a concise tour of testing tools and the Test Management Approach (TMap), which shows how to integrate test management into the larger process of software design.
In all, Test Process Improvement can give any testing engineer or manager some practical ways to work more effectively. This is a groundbreaking blueprint for improving software testing. --Richard Dragan
Topics covered: Overview and guide to Test Process Improvement (TPI), types of testing, pitfalls for successful testing, measuring your organization's test maturity, 20 key areas, levels, checkpoints, suggestions for improvement, implementing TPI within your organization, TPI and the project life cycle, test planning and project estimation, metrics, advantages and limits of testing tools, test and office environments for improved testing, communication, reporting, defect management, managing the test process, evaluation, low-level testing, and Test Management Approach (TMap)--a proprietary strategy for structured testing.
Book Description
Software testing is a vital component of the software development process, but few organizations expend any effort optimizing the process to make it more efficient. Although in practice it can be hard to define what steps need to be taken, models such as the Capability Maturity Model (CMM) have been successful in helping organizations improve their software process and TPI aims to do a similar thing for the testing part of the software process. The TPI model offers a frame of reference which helps to determine the strong and weak points in an organization's current test practice, and gives specific and realistic suggestions for the improvement of the test process in terms of lead time, costs and quality.
Customer Reviews:
A good first or second read.......2007-05-14
If you're new to testing this book gives a basic insight into the processes. I would read this book after reading "Software Testing Techniques: Finding the Defects that Matter " by Scott Loveland.
Best Test Process addressed.......2007-01-14
A well structured, compressed and to the point book that addresses all I've dreamt to establish for a well defined test process, multi-facet process improvment, and practical maturity model assessment. Thank you Tim.
TPI.......2007-01-04
Very pratical book. It helped conducting a self assessment and generate a lot of ideas. I recommend it for any software test origanization that needs a little improvement.
For mature, stable test organizations.......2002-05-19
This book provides a coherent process improvement approach for software testing. It provides a model that supports the assessment of strengths and weaknesses of an existing software testing process and an approach for developing and implementing remedial action to rectify the weaknesses. As such this book is not useful to organizations that have not achieved a mature and stable testing process because the model will not apply. If you are seeking a book that will get your processes stable you will find "Systematic Software Testing" by Rick D. Craig and Stefan P. Jaskiel a better place to start.
However, if your processes are stable this book is among the best because it stays focused on improving the testing process and does so in the same manner that SEI's CMM does for software development. In fact, the TPI approach in this book is cross-referenced to the CMM, which gives you an approach that can be viewed as a testing maturity model that aligns nicely with the CMM (including the newer CMMI). This is one of the strong points of the book and TPI.
Another thing to know about this book is that it's written more like a specification than a narrative. Some readers may find this difficult, but if you are involved in mapping the TPI key process areas to the CMM (or SPICE, Bootstrap or PSM), you'll appreciate the format. Also, the book views TPI as a subset of software process improvement, and software process improvement as a subset of TQM. While the authors focus on the software testing process, they do not isolate it from the bigger picture. This allows you to view then entire quality process as a coherent whole when you're assessing the software testing process and developing improvement strategies.
I personally think this book adds considerably to the software testing body of knowledge, and that the approach the authors give is both practical and sensible. If you work in an organization that has a stable testing process or is at CMM level 2 or above this book is essential reading.
Wery useful method to rely on.......2001-06-26
As a senior test engineer consultant I was asked to do a investigation on how we had worked in the test team in a project, and provide feedback to the QA organization. I was using this method and found it wery helpful! This book, unlike most other books with this subject, goes straight to the problem and and is not focused on the number of pages...
