I think this book is a great book for mature people to read. This book deals with interviews with the KKK and Neo-Nazis. Dr. Ezekiel is a elderly brave man who dares to interview the world's best known hate groups.

There are some books that are just so informative that no library should be without them. There are some books that are written so well that it is a positive joy to read the text. There are some people who have such a way of looking at the world that you feel comfort hearing them speak. There are people who have seen so much that their opinion is something you seek.

All of these traits are combined in this volume that only Foote's Civil War trilogy can compare with. The small stories that are routinely missed (such as the origin of "the real McCoy) and the relevence of these ordinary people making extrodinary things happen are coupled with the tales of the extraordinary people who had their ordinary vices. (Franklin's advice to take an older mistress because they are both more discreet and more grateful) Both named and unnamed he tells their tale as it fits in the piece of this puzzle of America

Unlike much of history which seems to have an agenda, Cooke's masterpiece is classical, telling a story of grandur without fawning and of warts without lambasting. It is a grand overview rather than a list of presidents, wars and laws. He captures the essense of what is importnat. It is as if he wished to give a consice guide to his compatriots in England of what facinates him about this land that he eventually settled as did many in his story.

It captures what America and Americans are very well and would be an excellent guide to any person who wants to understand us. With so many Americans ignorant of their own history it would be an even better guide to todays college or high school students to make them understand this land of their birth and how it came to be what it is.

This book is 30 years old as I write this (July 4th 2003) at the time he wrote this Cooke was in his 27th year of his Letter from America Broadcast for the BBC. When you finish this book you will find yourself wanting more. Have no fear Mr Cooke is now in his 57th year of his broadcasts telling the story of America 15 minutes at a time continues. Lets hope he dictates a sequel filling in these 30 years.

This was the best book on ambiguous comprises I have ever read. The twist at the end was very exciting. I would recommend to all my family and friends.

This is the most beneficial organization, and the guides they put out are absolutely amazing. They have literally hundreds of hostels (accomodations that are a lot cheaper than hotels) and this guide references them all with information on how to make reservations, cost, and they give information on special discounts for hostelling international members. If you're going abroad or travelling within the country, I highly suggest this book, plus the guides for Europe and New Zealand.

Gide's journal of his five year exodus through the exotic cultures of Tunis and Algiers at the turn of the 20th century can only be compared to the senuous language of JUSTINE, the first book of the classic Alexandria Quartet by Lawrence Durrell. This small, delightful book of 159 pages, unfolds to the world that underlies the North Africa today, a century later.
According to the translator,Gide,immediately after writing AMYNTAS, began writing CORYDON, viewed by many as his masterpiece, which dwelt on the place of homosexuality in society and on the nature of human sexuality itself.
Awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1947, Gide's notations are four separate texts documented by year and place. Translation from the original French is done by Richard Howard, a Pulitzer Prize winner and noted translator.

Anansi is lazy and he likes to play tricks! This time, turtle outsmarts Anansi. Anansi does all of the work while turtle gets tired. The kids in my class ask to listen to this book and the other Anansi tales, retold by Eric Kimmel, over and over again. This one takes a little bit more thinking to figure out what the tricks are.

Ian Knight has taken up the mantel left by Donald Morris, the author of a (previously "the") seminal history of the cultural conflict between two ways of life on the South African high veldt. In this book, as well as in his previous works, Ian Knight restores dignity, complexity and sophistication to the losers, not just the winners, in another chapter in the ongoing story of the "advance of civilization". A "must read" for those who have read "The Washing of the Spears at least once (and thought about what they had read). A "must read" for those who haven't. Well done, Sir Knight. When can we expect more?

This book is a must for all those children who are eager to know more. It's easy to read and keeps the children interested untill the end. My seven year old daughter read it and "played" it for two hours, untill she solved the mistery. I will buy more titles!

Dr. Theophile Obenga has written a great book showing the African background to Greek philosophy. The book traces the Greek student's routes when travelling to Egypt in addition to providing the words of the students themselves and their references to learning in Egypt. Dr. Obenga's mastery of ancient Greek and Medu Netcher (hieroglyphics) provides the reader with the words of the ancients themselves. This book should be required reading for all college students. Dr. Obenga's arguments make the book, Not Out of Africa, by Mary Lefkowitz seem almost juvenile.
