I love the courage displayed by Jeff Carson or Bricktop (his slave name) in the face of danger. As a black man passing for white in the old South where he is being hunted by the white slave master who wants to beat him, castrate him and kill him, he manages to not only survive but thrive. He first works for Jean Lafitte in the slave trade, but he eventually comes into his own. He is brave, courageous and resilient. He is also a man most women wouldn't mind meeting. Virile, handsome, and well-endowed, in several scenes in the book he takes on two and three women (sometimes black, sometimes white) at once, and all night long, and is still going the next day. What a man! What I liked about him most is that he outwitted his opponents. You have to read it to believe it." (215noto), Good Stock number: 12296. ISBN: 0449138429

Brown University professor George Dandow scrutinizes the sermonizing language with which Ruskin urged readers to sharpen their own perceptive powers. Yale art historian Casteras discusses Ruskin's creation in 1871 of a utopian guild to govern Saint George's Museum in Sheffield, England. Other essays deal with Ruskin's high aspirations for modern art, his passion for geology and his drawings, which were a stimulus to his thought. Nearly 180 plates (40 in color) show paintings by Ruskin himself as well as by Edward Burne-Jones, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, J. M. W. Turner and others.

The sacred circle, a recognition of the interrelatedness of all things, is the foundation of the school's philosophy. Sweet grass circles, trips to the sweat lodge, feasts, and respect for the teaching of Elders are central elements of the Duquette educational experience. Making the Spirit Dance Within offers a model for educating native students that stands in stark contrast to the ignorance of First Nations history and culture typical of mainstream Canadian schools.

Times are tough in the fictional New England town of Rosaline. The seas are overfished; the reconstruction of an antique schooner, the Shardon Rose, forces the fishermen off the piers; and the government announces an Emergency Buyback Package, which encourages fishermen to scuttle their boats and quit the business. Struggling to make it are the men of the Pearl, a fishing vessel owned by Warren Fitz and crewed in part by his son, John, and John's best friend, Chris Albin. Pride-bound, Warren Fitz is loathe to take "The Package," so John prodded by Chris, a longtime but functioning junkie tries to run drugs from one of the French islands off the coast of Newfoundland. It's here, as Chalfoun sets her characters on a collision course, that the novel's slowly churning engine kicks in and builds real, satisfying momentum.

Review: "Best Guide to the hippest music: Reggae, June 29, 2004, As a New Englander, I have enjoyed Bob Marley and lately, the newest crossover reggae performer, Shaggy ; although their styles are really worlds apart. There's an energy in Reggae music that I absolutely love and realized that there must be tons of reggae music that I never had the opportunity to hear because, they weren't in the USA Top 40. Therefore, in an effort to learn more about the artists, the history, the various styles of Reggae music and all the music in between that I missed out on, I searched the many books on Reggae and luckily, came across this book in my local bookstore. I found it to be a GREAT guide for someone like me. It is an easy, enjoyable read, an objective perspective, lots of history, pictures and a perfect guide to finding and listening to some really great Reggae music. Really a must have.
