Buenos Aires Los Cafes 1/buenos Aires The Coffee 1: Sencilla Historia/simple History (Sencilla Historia)

Book Description

Modest prices, generous servings, friendly owners, and a devoted local clientele all define these cafés, bars, restaurants, and pizzerias where you can taste the traditional everyday cuisine of Argentina in authentic settings. New or old, each one of the seventy profiled here has details that make them worth visiting. Many were the settings for clandestine political meetings in the days before the May Revolution; others provided inspiration for the artists and writers, including Jorge Luis Borges, who frequented them. At one bar, the most prestigious young tango musicians of Buenos Aires gather nightly, and, after a few drinks and a few empanadas (made by the owner himself), spontaneously perform. There’s a tiny parrilla–steak house–known not only for the best roasted meat at the best price but for its eternally festive atmosphere and chaotic charm. At another intimate pulperia, simple homemade meals are served communally at a wooden marble-top table. The Authentic Bars and Cafés of Buenos Aires also includes Gabriela Kogan’s recommendations of what to eat at each venue, a map, and a glossary of Argentine food.

Raise the freek flag high !.......2000-05-06

to add to the two reviews, these comics have a fabulous wealth of detail in every little picture, right down to the bottom of the page where fat freddy scat is usually upto some adventure of his own. Inspired artwork - the facial expressions are extremely funny, as is the evocation of sense of place ( as in their trip in Mayheeko ). The storylines are superb, and a hilariously riotous scathing look at humanity with all its hypocrisy and corruption. Its way, way more than just sex and drugs and late 60s counterculture ! So far I have seen people either LOVE them or HATE them. There is no middle ground. the latter group of people are usually the ones who have never interacted with people different from themselves ( in my experience ).

Imagine The Three Stooges on acid. This is even funnier........1998-12-25

The second volume of a four-volume set. Our friends at The Ripoff Press have encapsulated all of the mind-blowing insanity of the '60s drug scene in this tale of three hippies (Freewheelin Franklin, Phineas, and Fat Freddy) who spend their days tripping from one score to the next while dodging the landlord, the cops, bikers, street gangs, hillbillies, even the FBI! No well-rounded adult should be without the complete set. Check out the Freak Brothers web page and see what I mean.

Graphic, gritty, hilarious, and very un-PC. Not for wimps........1998-10-18

The first of a four volume set, this compendium of the Ripoff Press' infamous comic strip "The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers" will have you rolling on the floor in tears. Provided, of course, that you can see the satirical humor in a strip about three drug-crazed brothers (Freewheelin' Franklin, Phineas, and Fat Freddy) who live only to make the next score. Each page is filled with vulgar language, drugs, sex, violence, nudity, crime, and more drugs. These things are not glorified in the strip, but merely revealed to you as real and ridiculous as any of mankind's endeavors. The black-and-white strip is drawn in a peculiarly heavy-lined style, which gives it a very earthy feel. You simply have read it to understand it, and once you stop laughing, you'll be hooked. Truly the funniest thing I have ever read.

This is Ragtime.......2006-04-03

This is Ragtime by Terry Waldo is an extremely well researched book on the history of ragtime and early blues. As a protege' of Eubie Blake, Mr. Waldo provides an inside view into this genre from the turn of the century through the 1970s. Engaging and witty, this history lesson takes the reader on a journey from ragtimes roots, through the baudy houses in which the music was once associated, to its acceptance in popular culture. Mr. Waldo is a very talented performer and songwriter in his own right. His anecdotes and interviews with fellow blues and ragtime performers make this book a highly entertaining and educational read.

Book Description

The "Beat Generation" that emerged after World War II and reached its zenith in the 1960s represented an era of new perspectives. The questioning, anti-establishment view of the world prevalent among the various members of the Beat Movement found its voice in both novels and poetry. The novels especially, or what might be called underground narratives, were a driving force within the literary and social and cultural revolution that characterized the Beats. This study of the American novel during that era presents the forerunners of the literary tradition of the Beats and examines the major genres of the Beat novel: the juvenile delinquent novel, the self-discovering novel of individuality, the gay novel, the drug novel, the new journalism, and novels taking on topics of defiance and submission. From novels that have found a mainstream acceptance, like The Blackboard Jungle, The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, and On the Road, to lesser-known works like Go, Young Adam, and Flee the Angry Strangers, numerous representative works are examined in depth. Also included is a chronology of underground narratives, showing the development of these novels from their early twentieth century antecedents to current works.

I SAW THIS BOOK ADVERTISED IN ANOTHER PISTOL BOOK I HAVE. IT IS ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!! BETTER THAN ADVERTISED

RETURN TO THOSE THRILLING DAYS OF YESTERYEAR!.......2002-06-20

This is not just a book about toy cap pistols, it is a time machine. Not only does Mr. D'angelo present the cap pistols of our youth but he reveals the actors who played the part on television. A fact filled, exhaustive research of a love he shares with us. I had forgotten many of the toys he describes. Each page brought back memories of a childhood where honor and truth was the spoken word of the cowboy. So fans of the 50's and 60's westerns, return to those thrilling days of yesteryear when all boys wore their six shooters with pride and rode into the sunset.....

Definitive work on television westerns.......1999-08-18

A masterpiece of research and delivery. This is a book I keep out and enjoy referring to every time I watch a western on TV. The unexpected benefit from this book occurs when friends notice it on the table. I thought I knew everything about people I have known for years, but this book starts conversations into childhood favorites that are truly enlightening and very enjoyable. A must have for anyone who has every watched a TV western of owned a cap gun.

ONE OF THE MOST THOROUGHLY ENJOYABLE BOOKS ON THE SUBJECT.......1999-05-21

MR. D'ANGELO HAS BROUGHT A WEALTH OF PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE AND WARMTH ON THE SUBJECT INTO HIS WRITING; HE HAS COMPLETELY AND EXHAUSTIVELY RESEARCHED THE BACKGROUNDS OF ALL OF THE CHARACTERS AND THE WEAPONS, AND DISCUSSES THEM WITH OPEN FAMILIARITY. FOR THOSE RAISED DURING THE 50'S AND 60'S, THIS IS A TRIP DOWN TV AND THE MOVIES'S MEMORY LANE. THIS BOOK IS OBVIOUSLY A LABOR OF LOVE, AND IT TRULY SHOWS. A GREAT ADDITION TO ANY COLLECTOR'S LIBRARY, AND GREAT FOR THE NOSTALGIA BUFFS!

Book Description

Objective-C is an exciting and dynamic approach to C-based object-oriented programming; it's the approach adopted by Apple as the foundation for programming under Mac OS X, a Unix-based operating system gaining wide acceptance among programmers and other technologists. Objective-C is easy to learn and has a simple elegance that is a welcome breath of fresh air after the abstruse and confusing C++. To help you master the fundamentals of this language, you'll want to keep the Objective-C Pocket Reference close at hand. This small book contains a wealth of valuable information to speed you over the learning curve. In this pocket reference, author Andrew Duncan provides a quick and concise introduction to Objective-C for the experienced programmer. In addition to covering the essentials of Objective-C syntax, Andrew also covers important faces of the language such as memory management, the Objective-C runtime, dynamic loading, distributed objects, and exception handling. O'Reilly's Pocket References have become a favorite among programmers everywhere. By providing important details in a succinct, well-organized format, these handy books deliver just what you need to complete the task at hand. When you've reached a sticking point in your work and need to get to a solution quickly, the new Objective-C Pocket Reference is the book you'll want to have.

Customer Reviews:

An excellent intro to Obj-C for those who need the depth.......2004-05-10

Probably the best book to read to learn Objective-C, if Apple's PDF on the language is not enough for you. Covers Objective-C both from Cocoa and non-Cocoa perspectives. Try Apple's PDF first, and if it's not enough to let you jump into one of the Cocoa programming books (which all mostly assume knowledge of C and Objective-C), then this book is recommended.

Handy, well written Objective-C Reference!.......2003-11-15

Andrew Duncan's Objective-C Pocket Reference is just the book that budding Cocoa programmers should have on their desk. It is well written, well indexed, and succinct enough to read in an evening if desired.

After reading it cover to cover, I think this will be a valuable resource for looking up any Objective-C related questions I have.

Note, you should have an understanding of C before trying to read this book. Also - it will probably make more sense to you if you already have some experience with Cocoa. This is a quick reference - probably not the best way to learn the language. However, the book contains a list at the end which recommends other books and websites which are more thorough.

I'd say it's well worth the cost.

A great resource for digging deeper into Objective-C.......2003-09-30

O'Reilly's OBJECTIVE-C POCKET REFERENCE follows in its line of slim booklets designed for quick reference while at the computer. I found it a very helpful book.

While titled "a pocket reference", the book is not something that should be put on the shelf right away and merely consulted from time to time. For a beginning Objective-C programmer, reading the book straight-through can be very enlightening. The basics of Obj-C are easy to grasp, and an Obj-C beginner can immediately start constructing solid applications without knowing about categories, protocols, or root objects. But O'Reilly's book is the best place to start becoming familiar with these obscure topics that might just help one solve a particularly tricky problem.

I have only a few complaints about the book. One is that it talks about the #import preprocessor directive, but nowhere does it mention the advantages of using #ifndef guards. Another problem is that in some parts it is Cocoa-specific; I would have preferred that it concentrate on the OpenStep standard in general so that other OpenStep implementations might not be left out (but the book does occasionally mention GNUstep, which is great).

O'Reilly proves itself the best publisher for developers again with this book, and any Objective-C programmer should invest in it.

Fantastic Fantastic Fantastic.......2003-01-29

I have three different books for objective C programming, which by the way are very hard to find. This book, which was published just recently, is the best objective c book I have read yet.

Objective C is a great language for all platforms, not just the Mac OS, and this book leads you to it. It gives you both Cocoa and standard C information. If you are interested in learning Objective C, this is the book for you! It's inexpensive, small concise and packed with information.
