Book Description
Welcome to the land of Egalia, where gender roles are topsy-turvy as "wim" wield the power and "menwim" light the home fires. This re-telling of the prototypical coming-of age novel will have readers laughing out loud and wondering who should prevail: poor Petronius, who wants more than anything to cruise the oceans as a seawom; or his powerful and protective mother Director Bram, who rules her family with an authoritarian righteousness. But for better or for worse, as the masculist party begins to organize and protest, the landscape of Egalia threatens to change forever. More than just a humorous romp, Egalia's Daughters poses the provocative question of whether the culprit in gender subjugation is gender itself or power—no matter who wields it.

loved it.......2007-06-06
This book illuminated on how society has designated privelaged roles to one over the other gender. The story was engaging, and the use of menwim, wim, penhoes and other new words made the book even more engaging. Story is very captivating. I would like to see a sequel to this book.
Imaginative and entertaining.......2005-03-01
This is a captivating story about coming of age and gender. Brantenberg artfully describes the process of growing up and questioning the expectations encountered along the way. An imaginary society is created and brought to life. I had trouble putting it down for curiosity about what would happen next!

I only read it because I had to .......2007-01-29
My Sociology instructor required this book for class. Yuck! I found it vulgar and offensive and I am in no way a prude. It does make you think about the roles of the sexes, though.
Imaginative and entertaining.......2003-01-17
This book is a captivating story about coming of age and a profound statement about gender divisions in human society. Brantenberg artfully tells a story about growing up and questioning the social roles and expectations encountered along the way. The history and social structure of an imaginary society are developed and brought to life in this book, to the point that I had trouble putting it down for curiosity about what would happen next.
A wonderful satire - great book for a reading group!.......2002-08-29
Although you have to adjust to the pronoun reversal in the book (women=wym, men=menwym, history=herstory), I found it easy to get past this quirk and really enjoyed this book. I especially liked the fun that was poked at particular gender-specific activities: The traumatic rite of passage of buying a first bra is transformed into buying a first "pehoe" or penis cover; in hot weather, those with mammary glands are free to go about without a shirt, while those with hairy chests are forced to keep their clothes on; it takes hours to groom a beard and properly adorn it with beads and ribbons. These and other clever satirical twists make the book very effective in pointing out gender inequalities in our society. My reading group had a great time discussing this book.
Satire of the sexes.......2002-02-20
This book is both hilarious and makes you think. It's subtitled "A satire of the sexes", and that basically says it all. It's an upside-down society, in which men are repressed and taken advantage of, and women have all the power. There men wear the skirts and have to cover their unattractive, flat chests, while women wear the pants and can walk around topless if they want to. And the men take care of the kids, once the woman has decided she wants to have one. The whole language reflects this society's views, e.g. by referring to humanity as Woman, rather than Man. It's written in Norwegian originally, and I really feel sorry for the translator who had to find culturally and linguistically comparable expressions. I've read the original, and the language "switch" is even more successful there. (... that "history" was left in the original form, which it should rightfully be, as this has nothing to do with the pronoun "his") It does lose a bit of the wordplay-effect of the original, which is inevitable. Still I think the translation is good, considering the differences between the languages.
Because of the "creative" language it's a bit heavy to read, especially in the beginning. At least I found myself trying to "translate" back to the usual way of saying things - the patriarcaic way. But if you're looking for a book out of the ordinary and don't mind the effort, this is an interesting read.
Why reading this book is a waste of your time........2001-12-12
I really did not enjoy this book. I understand that this is supposed to be a satirical look at American gender roles, but it was probably a lot more applicable back in 1970s. I am a feminist and this book didn't tell me anything I didn't already know. Maybe if you're a raging chauvinist, this book has something to teach you. To me, Brantenberg's prose seems trite. The writing is simplistic. The sex scenes are graphic, but moreover, so are the non-sex scenes. I felt as though the author was secretly smiling to herself and saying, "I'm so clever" while she wrote it. It's hard to define what makes for a great book, but here's something I can define: this book is not great. Or good. Or even tolerable.

Ben Bova's second installment in the Asteroid Wars series continues his trademark style, with caricatured characters in a classic Greek dramatic structure duking it out against a high-tech, Libertarian-influenced, future-history backdrop. Billionaire jerk and womanizer Martin Humphries stirs the pot again, overcoming attempts to oust him from the Selene moon base. His grip on Humphries Space Systems and its economic scheming remains as tight as ever, but he still desires two things: control of the asteroid belt's rich resources and, of course, possession of the ever-elusive Amanda What's-her-name at the expense of likeable alpha male number two, gruff prospector Lars Fuchs. ("One look at Amanda's innocent blue eyes and full-bosomed figure and any man would be wild to have her." We're left to guess as to whether the "wide-eyed," "lusciously curved" Amanda has any other qualities, desirable or otherwise.)
For Bova fans, Rock Rats has it all--cool technology, whip-fast action, and choreographed intrigue--and this installment certainly ups the ante in the series. As Bova gravely notes, "[T]he Belt became the region where prospectors and miners could make fortunes for themselves, or die in the effort. Many of them died. More than a few were killed." --Paul Hughes

Rabble In Arms.......2006-08-27
The Rock Rats (2002) is the second SF novel in the Asteroid Wars series, following The Precipice. In the previous volume, Kris Cardenas almost commits suicide over her sabotage of the Starpower 1, but decides to stay alive to ensure that Martin Humphries is convicted for his crimes. On the Starpower 1, the crew abandon ship temporarily to burrow into the surface of Asteroid 32-114, a porous body like a huge sand pile, but Dan Randolph still receives a fatal dose of radiation. Before he dies, Randolph leaves all his possessions to Pancho Lane, including a huge block of Astro Manufacturing. After returning to Selene, Pancho is voted onto the board of directors of Astro, despite Humphries's opposition.
In this novel, Humphries's lawyers tie up Selene's courts on the exile order, but the courts still divest him of all his shares in Astro Manufacturing and Starpower. He crashes the wedding reception for Amanda Cunningham and Lar Fuchs and presents them with a wedding present: the refurbished Starpower 1. While he hopes that Lars will go to the Belt and leave Amanda behind, the couple foil Humphries by leaving together.
The more Amanda avoids Humphries's attempts to get her into bed, the more he is infatuated with her. His latest ploy is a trading and maintenance center on Ceres, the largest asteroid. Amanda convinces Lars and Pancho to open another trading company, Helvetia Inc., in competition with Humphries Space Systems, with Astro providing the goods at low cost. They now have a larger clientele than HSS.
Humphries's aide suggests a carrot and stick approach to the problem. After consulting with his security chief, Humphries agrees to applying violence to Helvetia customers. A month later, rock rats start dying.
First three ships disappear and later the HSS files claim on asteroids that they have discovered. Then there is a fire in the Helvetia warehouse. When HSS men murder the chief engineer on the habitat project, the body is taken to Kris Cardenas, who determines the cause of death and even the name of the murderer.
Lars tracks down the murderer, goads him into attacking him with the murder weapon, and then kills him thoroughly. Under Lars's insistence, a court is formed to try him for murder. Of course, the court finds him innocent, but a precedence is set for the formation of a government in the Belt.
This novel relates the beginning moves in the Asteroid Wars. HSS has attacked first and the rock rats are far behind. Yet this anarchy of individuals is finally starting to think of the social implications of an HSS monopoly and is appalled at the idea.
Recommended for Bova fans and for anyone else who enjoys tales of corporate battles, social conflict and personal frustrations.

Book 2 of the Asteroid Wars, Part of the Grand Tour.......2005-06-01
The Grand Tour is Dr. Ben Bova's series of books on the human exploration of the Solar System. This book is the second in a trilogy called The Asteroid Wars as human development reaches to the asteroids to get raw materials for space based manufacturing in the face of severe global warming. The hero of several previous books in the series, Dan Randolph, is dead. His place in the corporation is taken by Pancho Barnes. What a great name, if you remember the book/movie "The Right Stuff" that was the name of the woman who ran the local drinking establishment.
One aspect of good science fiction is the science aspect that makes a prediction for the future that should be logically possible. At this Dr. Bova does an excellent job.
This recording runs for ten hours, it is on nine CD's, read by Scott Brick, Amanda Karr and a cast of lessor characters.
"Dallas" in space.......2005-03-06
Martin Humphries continues in the role of the "man you love to hate", acting as a late-21st Century "J. R. Ewing", in this 2nd installment from the "Asteroid Wars" trilogy.
This book is a definite improvement over the first from the series ("The Precipice"), in almost all areas. While the science is still a bit sketchy, and there are actually less climactic moments in this book than the first one; this book is more consistant, and the story holds together better than the first book; which had the idiotic "invisible suit" gimmick that was thankfully left out this time around.
If the author could somehow steer away from the original silly premise of mankind-caused global catastrophic environmental upheavals, these books would rate much better. The "Greenhouse Cliff" premise is silly enough (and thankfully was not brought up much in this book, as in the last), but the implied idea that mankind's "follies" could somehow cause ongoing and massive earthquakes is simply ridiculous.
First book to be tossed...........2004-06-03
Tossed across the room, that is. As an avid Ben Bova reader, I usually sit down and chew through one of his books in a couple days. I've read all of his fiction and love his "grand Tour" series. Excellent book written by an excellent writer. As usual, a wonderful tossed salad of politics, science fact, fiction and emotions.
*SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS*
Anyway, back to my tossing... When I finished Rock Rats last one night, my first reaction was to throw it across the room and scream. The bad guys won and it irritated the heck out of me. First book I've ever thrown across the room in anger and irritation.
I'll tell you, as I've told anyone that will listen, read this series. It's great! But be ready for the typical trilogy thing...the bad guys win in the second book. *sigh*
Slightly better than The Precipice.......2003-10-19
The second book of The Asteroid Wars is slightly better than the first, primarily because there's more action, but it suffers from the same flaw as the first, namely characters that just aren't that interesting. I'd put Bova in the same general class as Tom Clancy: good when writing about hardware, but unable to write characters with any real depth. If you want to read a good book by Bova, start with Jupiter or Venus which focus much more on science and hardware than this book.
Book Description
A winning account of Ozzy Osbourne’s Black Sabbath in their early, glory years.
Black Sabbath is one of the most outrageous, yet long-lasting bands in the history of rock ‘n’ roll. This informative, idiosyncratic and beguiling book paints a vivid picture of their colourful early history — interwoven with all the most crucial news stories of the time: from Vietnam to Bloody Sunday and the Space program.
Where
Rat Salad diverges from routes taken by most rock biographies, however, is in its detailed analysis of the band’s first six albums. These chapters — think Ian MacDonald’s
Revolution in the Head meets
Spinal Tap — occupy about half the book and persuasively explain the appeal of the music, its compositional artistry and its frequently audacious inventiveness.
Original and passionate,
Rat Salad embraces a remarkably diverse cast of characters — from Ozzy Osbourne himself and the other band members, through to Edith Sitwell, Breugel the Elder, John Milton and Doris Day. The author’s hand looms large in the piece. We see him both as a boy and man — from schoolboy ingénue to inveterate devotee — as he looks back at a life populated with love, sex, drugs and death played out against a backdrop of crucifixes and power chords.
Book Description
Christopher Dawes lives in a quiet English village. His neighbor is Rat Scabies, former drummer with the Damned, best noted for setting his drums on fire while still playing them at a live concert. Life with Rat as a neighbor isn’t run-of-the-mill, but things turn even stranger when Rat announces that he (and Christopher) are going on a search for the Holy Grail.
The saga begins in Rennes-le-Chateau in France, where in 1891 a local priest discovered a treasure whose mystery remains unsolved. Once Christopher and Rat have written a list of things to do (“Buy metal detectors!”), they need only unravel a tale involving the Cathars, the Knights Templar, the Man in the Iron Mask, and Louis XIV—and along the way, visit Paris, Rome, Glastonbury, and Tintagel—and perhaps join the Masons (Rat thinks they know something).
The legend of the Holy Grail is far from unknown, but this is the first time the quest has been given the punk rock treatment. Rat Scabies and the Holy Grail is a psychedelic, Pythonesque road trip, a testimony to the sometimes odd nature of friendship, and a rich historical yarn.

Amusing book related to the Holy Grail.......2007-01-04
If you've read/see the Da Vinci Code this is a must read book. The same basic idea, just a little more tongue in cheek.
Hilarious.......2006-02-10
What happens when a journolist and a punk rock legend go off to find the Holy Grail? Well read this to find out. An hilarious account of adventuring in the misty world that most people have only heard of due to The DaVinci Code. A good travel book and mystery book. Highly recommended.
If you are interested in the mystery of Rennes-le-Chateau, there are only 2 books you really need........2005-11-23
"Holy Blood Holy Grail" - and this one.
The first because - despite the fact that other books on the subject preceeded it - it's the one that really put the subject on the map. And Dawes' book because it's the only one I've read that really seems to pick up where the first one leaves off, with a very entertaining and comical, yet touchingly personal, spin. Is there anything to the mystery after all? Who knows? But with a book like this, the quest is just as beguiling a read as any blockbuster revelation could be.
the punk Da Vinci Code.......2005-09-03
Hilarious and irreverant true story of one man and his neighbour (who just happens to be the drummer from legendary punk band The Damned) who go on a quest to find the Holy Grail. A refreshing alternative to The Da Vinci Code. Completely insane in places.
Great entertainment!.......2005-08-10
Dawes presents an objective overview of an interesting historical mystery in this entertaining memoir/travelog. I highly recommend this book, it's well-written, informative, and fun.

Contrary to the other reviewer's comments, this is too a book. It is the companion sheet music to the same-titled CD. Just be careful which you are buying. Both are excellent.
A word of note, Bob Geldof plays the guitar left-handed and so some of his chords are none-to-easy for us righty's to pick up.

The story of how one impressionable teenager Andy Wilson alias Ratfink, harboured a dream to play in his favourite band Alien Sex Fiend, only for his dream to become reality as he escaped the leafy Lancashire village of Lytham to tour the world with his idols in a crazy orgy of sex, drugs and goth` n` roll !
Whether surviving bloody bar fights in Belgium, death threats in Germany, becoming immersed in the Hammer horror theatre that was Alien Sex Fiend on tour or simply sharing the bill with idol Alice Cooper this is one rock epic music fans will not want to miss. If you thought that gothic music began with Alice Cooper and ended with Marilyn Manson then it`s time to think again...

Book Description
"I remember thinking that he was going to electrocute himself and that I should say something. But then I figured he was the qualified technician and I was new to the island. Everything was new to me, including the fact that electrical wiring was supposed to look like spaghetti; bare un-connected wires protruding from weird places were normal.
I let him throw the switch--"
The search for a simpler, less complicated way of life was the quest of David Fagan. For nearly twenty years he has pursued this ambition, only recently concluding that perhaps simplicity is unobtainable given the amount of evidence he has amassed during almost half his lifetime on Hydra Island, Greece.
After liquidating his life in the rat race, he plunged enthusiastically into life on the "Rock". In spite of unforeseen obstacles, he optimistically persevered with an assortment of "careers", each exposing him to un-anticipated situations and characters.
In this book, he fondly reminisces over just a few of the far from uncomplicated, circumstances he found himself in, bringing his brand of diplomacy, sensitivity, and humour to the telling of tales about the people and place that he now regards as his family and home.

This is a AIR FORCE INST OF TECH WRIGHT-PATTERSON AFB OH SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A588093. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: Modern fighter designs have been associated with lateral self-excited oscillations own as "Wing Rock". Simulations of wing rock by flow visualization utilities have been encouraged to develop a complete understanding of the fluid mechanism that drives fl%e motion as well as for prediction purposes. Previous windiwater tunnel simulations have been limited to a single degree-ofifreedom (DoF) in roll. In this study, for the first time, wing rock is computationally simulated in three DoF: roll, sideslip, and vertical motion to study the effect of adding file sideslip and vertical motion. The results are for a generic fighter model consisting of a fore-body, a cropped delta wing, and a vertical fin. The effect of including the vertical fin is also studied. The interaction of aerodynamics and rigid-body dynamics during a single DoF wing rock for the wing-body configuration has been studied via snap shots of a cross-plane stagnation pressure distribution and tracing il%e instantaneous locations of vortex burst for an entire cycle of wing rock. The effect of adding the sideslip and vertical motion DoF to the simulations of the wing-body configuration was found to delay file onset and to reduce the amplitude of wing rock by about 50% with surprisingly no change in frequency. The wing rock simulation in three DoF was repeated for file full generic fighter model with fl%e fin included. The aerodynamic effect of fl%e fin was found to significantly delay the vortex burst on the upper surface of the wing.

In 4,000 years of reading, writing, and talking, Jews have imagined countless images of God. The Way into Encountering God in Judaism is an introductory survey of this imaginative tradition. Neil Gilman, a philosophy professor at the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York, freely asserts that that "nothing that we human beings say about God or God's activities in the world is literally true." Given that, Gilman asserts, "To think and talk of God ... is to think and talk metaphorically. We must make our peace with that conclusion and then trace its implications." The image of God as presented in the Bible and in Jewish tradition is "a complex metaphorical system" whose main characteristics are plurality and fluidity. The metaphors change over time, as God's people come to understand God in new ways. (Feminists, for example, have questioned or rejected male images of God; Jews living after the Holocaust have questioned or rejected the notion of a God who is "beneficent, caring, all-powerful, and, above all, just.") The chapters highlight traditional understandings of God, such as "God Is Person," "God Is Nice (Sometimes)," "God Is Not Nice (Sometimes)." And Gilman peppers his clear, accessible, survey with more contemporary thoughts, such as the idiosyncratic, beautiful idea of a theological student who thinks of God as Fred Astaire (and herself as Ginger Rogers).
When we miss a step, it's always my fault. He dances in flats; I have to dance in heels; he's on the ceiling, I'm on the floor; he can be late, I can't. He pinches me in the clinches; I mustn't. And Cyd Charisse is waiting for me to fail. But when we get it together, it's sheer ecstasy.
--Michael Joseph Gross

The Way Into Encountering God in Judaism by Neil Gillman
Customer Reviews:
Good analyses of both traditional and nontraditionl views.......2005-05-19
I have had the privilege of hearing Rabbi Gillman lecture. For years, he has been a distinguished faculty member at the Jewish Theological Seminary and his less traditional image of God is well known to those who have read his writings or heard his lectures. In this book, one of the views of God that he discusses is that of Rabbi Mordecai Kaplan. This image is that God is the Power which leads us to do good and the Power that leads us to salvation. God is more a process than a being. I once asked Rabbi Gillman if, under this view, there would be a God if there were no human beings. His insightful answer was that humankind did not invent God but discovered God. Therefore, God is not a presence who reveals Himself (Gillman, by the way, avoids using masculine pronouns to refer to God) but nonetheless exists independently of humanity. Our views of God in human terms as having emotions, being a personal God, etc. are metaphors to understanding God, who is otherwise incomprehensible. In this book, Gillman discusses this image of "discovering" God.
Gillman surveys the more traditional images of God. He sees the development of these images as delveloping from a God who instantly seeks to punish sins, such as the punishment of Adam and Eve, and the punishment of Cain after killing Able, to a God who may delay or postpone punishment, to the image of God who, through repentence, cancels punishment completely, such as when the people of Nineveh repented in the book of Jonah.
Obviously, very orthodox Jews will have a different image of God than will, e.g., a reconstructionsit Jew so, it is not possible to define what the current image of God is. However, Bishop John Shelby Sprong, in his book "Sins of Scripture, best summarizes the non traditional view that Gillman sets forth: "theism is not God, it is nothing but a human definition if God --- and a radically inadequate one at that. When theism dies God does not die, but a human definition of God does." This liberal Christian view of Bishop Sprong is a good description of a nontraditional Jewish image. Rabbi Gillman has done a great service in, relatively few pages, making both traditional and less tradtional images of God understandable.
