Book Description
Take a Walk on the Dark Side is the ultimate book for today's rock and roll fan: a fascinating compendium of facts, fictions, prophecies, premonitions, coincidences, hoaxes, doomsday scenarios, and other urban legends about some of the world's most beloved and mysterious pop icons.
Updating, revising, and expanding on material from his cult classic Hellhounds on Their Trail, Patterson offers up a delectable feast of strange and occasionally frightening rock and roll tales, featuring the ironies associated with the tragic deaths of many rock icons, unsolved murders, and other tales from the "fell clutch of circumstance."
Beginning with the fateful place where it all started -- a deserted country crossroads just outside Clarksdale, Mississippi, where Robert Johnson made his deal with the devil -- through the Buddy Holly curse (rock and roll's first great tragedy) and beyond, this incredible volume uncovers some of rock and roll's most celebrated murders, twists of fate, and decades-long streaks of bad luck that defy rational explanation. Inside you'll find:
- Facts about Jimmy Page and the Zeppelin Curse.
- Chilling quirks of fate in the fatalities in the Allman Brothers and Lynyrd Skynyrd.
- Facts about Jimmy Page and the Zeppelin curse
- Chilling quirks of fate surrounding the deaths of musicians in the Allman Brothers Band and Lynyrd Skynyrd
- A provocative look at "The Club," membership in which requires an untimely death at age twenty-seven and whose inductees include Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix, and Janis Joplin
- Cryptic messages in song lyrics that have proved eerily prophetic
Carefully researched, wildly enjoyable, and often harrowing, Take a Walk on the Dark Side takes the reader on a mysterious ride through rock and roll history.

A High School Teacher's Lame Claim to Fame.......2007-07-23
Whether you are a true fan of rock and roll, or just a kid trying to pick up facts to impress your friends with your way-hip knowledge of 60's and 70's pop culture, this book is NOT for you. The author makes so many careless mistakes, even a naive child of the 90's can pick up on them. For example, on page 105, Patterson claims that Robert Plant tried to imitate Robert Johnson's voice on "Bring It On Home." Pick up any "Best of the Blues" compilation set, and you will find Sonny Boy Williamson's version of "Bring It On Home" eerily resembles the Led Zeppelin version, to a T. Not only that, but 29 pages later, Patterson states that Robert Johnson's death occurred 59 years before Elvis Presley's, even though in the first chapter of the book, you find out it's actually 39 years earlier. Way to proof read, Teach.
All in all, this book contains VERY LITTLE fact, and A LOT of gossip and twisted facts to serve the author's purpose. (He actually claims in the book to have heard the backward mask in Stairway to Heaven, whereas any respectable Rock and Roll historian will tell you that's just plain silly.) R. Gary Patterson is capitalizing on the rumors and gossip surrounding other's fame. He does not deserve his own.
Good Concept, weak material, poor writing, too much imagination.......2007-01-16
I did not purchase this book on Amazon, but at the local bookstore and just by reading the cover notes. So I did not read any reviews before buying. I wish I did though. The book really is not that deep at all, the writer sticks to some main bands and almost everything written requires a huge stretch of imagination - and I am not really into that.
Lots of factual problems and poor writing.
Bottom line is the book contains - 33% Fact, 33% Rumor, and 33% complete rubbish made up by the author. The remaining 1% is the paper the book is printed on (for the mathmaticians out there)
Couple of examples below.
I'm a big fan of Cheap Trick and they are mentioned in the book as being an Ohio band (Wow!). If such a simple fact is missed, how can I NOT think most everything else I am reading is garbage? I think most people know Cheap Trick are from the Chicago area (Rockford to be exact). And if anyone did not know that fact it is pretty damn easy to find out as they flaunt it everywhere and the information can be found on practically any article or written piece on the band (their latest CD is even called "Rockford" - but after the book was written, however it still shows that Cheap Trick is ROCKFORD!). Also the writer mentions a rumor that Cheap Trick got their name from a ouji board - There are many possible stories behind how they got their name, but never heard that one and not sure any fan of the band has either. Trick is probably the farthest band away from occult type activities and given the author's scope in the book it seems so illogical to even slip that one in there. It is so out of place given the bands he is writing about in that section.
The Janice Joplin story said the band was worried that Janice did not show up to recording sessions the next morning so went to her hotel room to check on her. However, in the next sentence she was pronounced dead at 1:40am. Wow, the next morning starts early for those guys! I don't believe it, I can't believe that Janice Joplin had a scheduled recording session to start between 12:01am and the time she was pronounced dead at 1:40am. A lot needs to fit into that window of time.
There are countless other examples. Cool concept, but just not put together well at all. 2 dimly lit stars.
Great book....fun and kind of scary!.......2007-01-15
This is a great book for music fans, fans of the paranormal, or those who just enjoy a good read. I stayed up late finishing this book because I couldn't put it down and I jumped at every little noise I heard. This is really an unusual and thoroughly enjoyable book!
don't hate me for my opinion, but..........2005-11-30
i just received this book and was completely shocked that it was so full of satanic and occult references. had i known this i would not have purchased this book (and no i didn't get it through amazon, otherwise i would have known better than to buy it). i only skimmed through it-cover to cover and was so disgusted that i threw it out. for those that are into the extreme dark side of life or are interested in reading up on someone elses journey there then this book is for you. it was well written and informative, but unfortunately not for me. still i would give it 4 stars.
Couldn't help but be entertained.......2005-10-14
Some of Patterson's conclusions were a bit of a reach.
Some of his segways weren't all that smooth.
But this book is just plain entertaining. It is chopped full of stories on rockstars making deals with the Devil,lingering around after death, and backed up with just enough innuendo-ish research for it to almost be believable. Well, some of it actually believable. Patterson scribes on about various rockstar-occult alliances (in particular the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin) and uses quotes from the musicians themselves.
Book Description
The history of modern liberalism has been hotly debated in contemporary politics and the academy. Here, Judith Stein uses the steel industry—long considered fundamental to the U.S. economy—to examine liberal policies and priorities after World War II. In a provocative revision of postwar American history, she argues that it was the primacy of foreign commitments and the outdated economic policies of the state, more than the nation's racial conflicts, that transformed American liberalism from the powerful progressivism of the New Deal to the feeble policies of the 1990s.
Stein skillfully integrates a number of narratives usually treated in isolation—labor, civil rights, politics, business, and foreign policy—while underscoring the state's focus on the steel industry and its workers. By showing how those who intervened in the industry treated such economic issues as free trade and the globalization of steel production in isolation from the social issues of the day—most notably civil rights and the implementation of affirmative action—Stein advances a larger argument about postwar liberalism. Liberal attempts to address social inequalities without reference to the fundamental and changing workings of the economy, she says, have led to the foundering of the New Deal state.

Book Description
This classic work is must reading for anyone who would understand Brazil and Latin America, past and present. First published in 1985 and now expanded to include a new chapter on women in Brazilian history, the book explores the social, political, economic, and intellectual currents that shaped nineteenth-century Brazil and whose reverberations continue to be felt throughout contemporary Brazilian society.
Placing her findings in a rich comparative context with regard to U.S. history, Emilia Viotti da Costa concentrates on crucial moments in Brazilian history to shed light on a number of vexing questions: Why in a nation so rich in material resources is there so much poverty? How was slavery abolished without bloodshed in a country where slaves had represented the main labor force for almost four hundred years? Why did self-described liberal elites twice lead the country toward authoritarian regimes? In exploring these and other puzzles, she uncovers the realities behind many of the persistent myths surrounding the Brazilian empire.
Customer Reviews:
A Revisionist History that's a Primer too!.......2007-05-09
The title says it all. The book is concise and informative as da Costa refutes long-held views about Brazilian history by focusing, largely, on the ruling classes. While this is an interesting and controversial way to do history with the primacy of subaltern studies in historical research, da Costa's microscopic focus on the elite left something to be desired. We want to hear the voices of the poorer classes.
Nonetheless, the book raises interesting questions about the Brazilian upper classes' agency in modern Brazil's startling rich/poor dichotomy. While the dependency school of history claims that this was created in large part by European and North American multi-national corporations, da Costa argues that modern Brazil's issues are in large part the creation of the Brazilian elite themselves, who do anything and everything possible to keep the masses down--including allying themselves with aforementioned multi-nationals.
PROS:
concise, informative and pithy especially as it explores the "myth of the helpless woman."
CONS:
It could have been longer, including the effects of the Brazilian elites actions on the lower classes.

Book Description
Ethnic Diversity, Liberty and the State is an insightful study of highly centralized, unitary systems of government and the breakdown of civil society in sub-Saharan Africa. The author argues persuasively that institutional reform involving decentralization and federalism can better accommodate ethnic diversity in the area.

Refreshing tone, disappointing analysis.......2000-03-30
Few Africans today would not regard the state of African societies and their economies as regrettable and a serious embarrassment. After decades of costly struggle to rid themselves of the indignity of colonial domination, people in many African countries find themselves caught up in civil wars, brutal military or civilian dictatorships, economic degradation, and hopelessness. Even where there are semblances of parliamentary democracy, the requisite rule of law, freedom of the judiciary, the press, and association by individuals are often missing.
Kimenyi traces the African problem, or dilemma as he terms it, to the diversity of ethnic groups, many of which were forcibly and incongruously placed under common central governments by the Berlin Act of 1885. He concludes that the solution is to redraw the boundaries of African countries so that they become consistent with ethnic identities, because it is apparently impossible for different ethnic groups to live together....
Most of Kimenyi's analyses and suggestions appear superficial. For example, he urges the stipulation of constitutional civil liberties and a process of constitutional change as if no African constitution had ever contained such provisions. It would have been helpful to provide some textual examination of a few African constitutions to illustrate his claim. It might have emerged that the misperceived role of government as the creator of economic equality (rather than as the agent to create or maintain an enabling environment for individuals to pursue their own economic betterment) has been the primary cause of most civil strife and political tyranny in Africa and around the world. Thus Ghana, first in sub-Saharan Africa to attain political independence in 1957, has as its motto, "Freedom and Justice." Tragically, the independence arch that bears that inscription has been aptly referred to as the spot where freedom and justice were buried by the dictatorship of Kwame Nkrumah in the name of socialism....
For their endorsement of the redistributive state, academic leftists may be legitimately accused of complicity in creating the African dilemma, and no one should expect that they can now point the way to its resolution. Therefore, Kimenyi's efforts from the perspective of classical liberalism are a welcome addition to the literature. Unhappily, his analysis will disappoint many who share his philosophical perspective. It lacks depth and seriousness. Careful students of African society--its anthropology, economy, history, and politics--will find much to dislike in the book.

Book Description
Noneconomists often think that economists' approach to race is almost exclusively one of laissez-faire. Racism, Liberalism, and Economics argues that economists' ideas are more complicated. The book considers economists' support of markets in relation to the challenge of race and race relations and argues that their support of laissez-faire has traditionally been based upon a broader philosophical foundation of liberalism and history: what markets have and have not achieved in the past, and how that past relates to the future. The book discusses the concepts of liberalism and racism, the history and use of these terms, and how that history relates to policy issues. It argues that liberalism is consistent with a wide variety of policies and that the broader philosophical issues are central in choosing policies.
The contributors show how the evolution of racist ideas has been a subtle process that is woven into larger movements in the development of scientific thought; economic thinking is embedded in a larger social milieu. Previous discussions of policies toward race have been constrained by that social milieu, and, since World War II, have largely focused on ending legislated and state-sanctioned discrimination. In the past decade, the broader policy debate has moved on to questions about the existence and relative importance of intangible sources of inequality, including market structure, information asymmetries, cumulative processes, and cultural and/or social capital. This book is a product of, and a contribution to, this modern discussion. It is uniquely transdisciplinary, with contributions by and discussions among economists, philosophers, anthropologists, and literature scholars.
The volume first examines the early history of work on race by economists and social scientists more generally. It continues by surveying American economists on race and featuring contributions that embody more modern approaches to race within economics. Finally it explores several important policy issues that follow from the discussion.
". . . adds new insights that contribute significantly to the debate on racial economic inequality in the U.S. The differing opinions of the contributors provide the broad perspective needed to examine this extremely complex issue."
--James Peoples, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
"There is an immense economic literature on racial discrimination, employing a variety of models and decomposition methods. This volume makes a unique contribution by focusing on the philosophical assumptions at the root of this analysis and by presenting many sides of the very vigorous debate surrounding these controversial issues."
--Thomas Maloney, University of Utah
"By focusing upon the progress of analytical technique, historians of economic thought have grossly neglected the symbiotic relation of economics to public policy and ideology. This collection of essays offers a most welcome breach of disciplinary apartheid. Seizing upon recent research in the almost forgotten writings about race of Classical economists and their contemporaries, it relates nineteenth-century ideas to current debates about economic discrimination and other manifestations of racism. As the writing is both learned and lively, the book should appeal both to the generally educated reader and to teachers of courses in multiculturalism."
--Melvin Reder, Isidore Brown and Gladys J. Brown Professor Emeritus of Urban and Labor Economics, University of Chicago

Book Description
Liberal philosophy came to Africa through colonialism: it was taught in schools, preached and supported by the churches, and maintained and encouraged by an economic system characterized by competition and maximizing profit--capitalism. Thirty years after independence, liberal philosophy continues to erode traditional values in Africa. To redirect Africans to symbols of common life and respect for persons, nationalist leaders have tried other philosophies: negritude, African socialism, and humanism. This book shows the limitations of these philosophies, and the failure of African philosophy and theology to offer a paradigm for social change. The author proposes a new paradigm for transformation, one rooted in traditional thought, found in the concepts of moyo (life) and umunthu (personhood).

1st place.......2001-09-25
I have over 20 of the handbook supplements from the phbr1..phbr17+ class books to the castles/equipement and the campaign specific source books. This rarity is the best of all.
An excellent resource for SpellJammer.......2000-09-12
This book contains a great deal of new information for the AD&D (2nd edition) SpellJammer campaign. It has chapters on groundlings in space, new spacefaring races, spacefarer kits, logistics, and much more. Often, D&D books leave me feeling like the book contained very little, but this book is a real gem. Buy it!
Perfect bridge between an established campaign and the void.......2000-06-09
If you have an interest in the Spelljammer universe, this elusive sourcebook will become your Bible. There are chapters on converting Groundlings to Spacefarers (and all the colorful difficulties that epic transition entails), new spacefaring races (for characters that are Dracons, Giff, Grommams, Hadozee, Hurwaeti, Lizard Men, Rastipedes, Scro, and Xixchil), character kits, role-playing, new spacefaring proficiencis, the logistics of sailing the stars, spacefaring organizations (classic reading), Spelljammer campaign design, and the great strongholds of space. A must have for those who want to broaden their campaigns' horizons to infinity!

Good Choice For Test Questions.......2005-08-17
I used this book along with several other texts and practice exams to prepare for the exam. I also used the cccure website. Clement DuPuis runs the site and was the editor of this book which was a factor in my decision to buy. I passed the exam so I am happy with the end result.
Do NOT Buy This Book.......2005-08-04
I purchased this book two weeks before my CISSP exam to practice, and after so many ridiculously-worded questions, mismatched questions and answers, and flat out inaccuracies, I took it back to the store and got a refund.
This is the worst possible study tool to acquire. I don't know how the content got by an editor; it will mislead you as to what the right answers are, confuse you by misrepresenting your actual knowledge, and generally do more harm than good.
Solid Practice.......2005-06-03
I passed the CISSP examination in NYC last month and used this book as part of my practice drills. I mainly used the practice CD. The book itself is the practice CD in paper form. The questions Gregg asks are specific, yet challenging, and push your level of understanding of the 10 domains. The CD engine works fine, but the "mark" feature had a few issues at the end of a quiz. Overall, I believe that this CD isolated my weakness very well in relation to other quiz engines, so I knew exactly what I needed to spend more time on. The questions on calculating ALE and SLE were useful and applicable in a real world sense. Combine this book with Tittel, Harris and ISC2 study guides and you should really have a command of the material.
