Within These Walls: Memoirs of a Death House Chaplain
Carlton Stowers , and Carroll Pickett Manufacturer: St. Martin's Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 0312287178 |
Book Description
Former Texas prison chaplain Rev. Carroll Pickett, working with two time Edgar Award-winner and New York Times best selling author Carlton Stowers, provides this eloquent, unflinching look at capital punishment.Within These Walls is the powerful memoir of Rev. Pickett, who spent fifteen years as the death house chaplain at "The Walls," the Huntsville unit of the Texas prison system.In that capacity Rev. Pickett ministered to 95 men before they were put to death by lethal injection. They came with sinister nicknames like "The Candy Man" and "The Good Samaritan Killer," some contrite, some angry-a few who might even have been innocent.All of them found in Rev. Pickett their last chance for an unbiased confessor who would look at them only as fellow humans, not simply as the convicted criminals the rest of society had already dismissed them as.This first-hand experience gave Rev. Pickett the unique insight needed to write an impassioned statement on the realities of capital punishment in America.The result is a thought-provoking and compelling book that takes the reader inside the criminal mind, inside the execution chamber, and inside the heart of a remarkable man who shares his thoughts and observations not only about capital punishment, but about the dark world of prison society.AUTHORBIO: Rev. Pickett is today an outspoken anti-death penalty activist.He is retired from the Department of Corrections but still preaches near Huntsville, Texas.Carlton Stowers is the author of more than two doze non-fiction books, including the Edgar Award-winging Careless Whispers, the Pulitzer Prize-nominated Innocence Lost, and Open Secrets.He has also written two books for children-A Hero Named George and Hard Lessons-which are being used by elementary schools as part of their drug and gang prevention program.He and his wife live in Cedar Hill, Texas.Customer Reviews:

The No Spin Zone: Confrontations with the Powerful and Famous in America (Random House Large Print (Hardcover))

Book Description
On the heels of his runaway New York Times bestseller (more than one million copies in print) Bill O'Reilly delivers another strong dose of no-holds-barred advice for America.Download Description
On the heels of his runaway New York Times bestseller (more than one million copies in print) Bill O'Reilly delivers another strong dose of no-holds-barred advice for America.
Bill O'Reilly is even madder than when he wrote his mega-bestseller The O'Reilly Factor—and his fans love him even more. He's mad because things have gone from bad to worse, in politics, in Hollywood, in every social stratum in the nation. True to its title, The No Spin Zone cuts through all the rhetoric that some of O'Reilly's most infamous guests have spewed to expose what's really on their minds, while sharing plenty of his own emphatic counterpoints along the way.
Shining a searing spotlight on everyone from Dubya to Susan Sarandon to Chyna to Dick Morris, The No Spin Zone is laced with the kind of straight-shooting commentary that has made O'Reilly the voice of middle America's disenfranchised. Examining Medicare with the same feistiness as the death penalty (which he opposes), The No Spin Zone delivers not only O'Reilly's opinion, but the documented attitudes of the country's movers and shakers as well. It demonstrates just why O'Reilly has become the most successful, the most controversial, the most beloved (by some), and the most disliked (by others) figure in television news today—and a culture hero to tens of millions of everyday Americans. And that's fact, not spin.
"[O'Reilly] is the Real McCoy. He's the best reporter I've seen in years . . . He is smart, well-read, has good values . . . and he is fearless in picking targets."
NEWSDAY
"This explosive anchor can be articulate, bombastic, scornful, witty, iconoclastic, passionate, persuasive, and sarcastic."
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
"[O'Reilly's] brand of hard-nosed, regular-guy TV talk is here to stay."
NEWSWEEK
"[The No Spin Zone] vibrates with O'Reilly's gruff Irish wit and elbows-on-the-bar social criticism."

Flash to the Core
Joshua Davis Manufacturer: New Riders Publishing ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0735712883 |
Book Description
Coverage is not critically tied to a particular rev of Flash. Flash to the Core: An Interactive Sketchbook is about the creative process and what someone like Joshua Davis can teach the world about taking Flash design and development to new extremes.Part one is all about Joshua Davis, the artist: his philosophies, his approach to Flash workflow, how he works with clients, how he explains and explores the world around him through his creative approach to Flash web design, animation and motion graphics.
Part two is about the work itself: 12 Flash-based projects Joshua has created in the past year. Some of these have won awards, others have been nominated for awards. Each project is a narrative and deconstruction, with the code used in the project included and explained.

"Flash To The Core" is a 352 page love letter from Joshua Davis to Joshua Davis. I found myself feeling a bit instrusive, and at times blushing, to be reading Mr. Davis' open missives of love and praise to himself; as often as his little anecdotes and "words of wisdom" got to become more patronizing than inspiring (upon remembering that "Flash To The Core" was meant for me...and anyone else who wanted to further their knowledge of Flash). What's more, agonizing through Mr. Davis' countless self-referentials and numerous "I's" and Me's" had me come to the blistering conclusion that Mr. Davis has the inter-personal depth of a kiddie pool, and only where a hum of a computer fan is is where JD feels most comfortable, and connected.
I figured, if you want to be the best, then you look to the best, which is why I purchased this book. However, after reading this "tutorial", I found that no matter how talented I think Mr. Davis is (regardless of not being very helpful), it is by no means any comparison to how talented Mr. Davis thinks he is and the contribution he has made to his own legacy (a.k.a the Joshua Davis Experience--toot, toot).
In short, "Flash To The Core" is an eight course dinner for Mr. Davis' minions and wannabes, however, to web designers, like myself, who want to set our own standard, it's a starter that looked good on the menu, but wasn't very filling.

Superb Coker cartoons, but..........2003-09-05
BUT...
Somebody thought they'd get fancy and add some color to the drawings, and they MESSED THEM UP! The color is done on a computer, and it adds very dark areas that throw the beautiful compositions off badly. Coker himself was obviously not involved in this; it was probably done by some flunky fresh out of a 2nd rate art school working for minimum wage. It ruins the drawings in many bitterely disappointing instances. Coker himself has been known to add watercolor or ink wash to some of his work, and he does so with the delicacy and unerring judgement of a master. Why didn't they consult him, instead of printing blocks of opaque dark green over his exquisite line work? The color is mechanical and flat, with no sensitivity to form; it gradates from dark to light mathematically, just like a lifeless computer program. It adds nothing and in some cases obscures much. Shameful.
This is still the best collection of Coker's art for Mad, though. Too bad.
