Peter Dunne
Quill Driver Books, 2006
buy it. It's good.
I should have posted this months ago. I bought this book, full price at the bookstore because I'd never seen anything like it. I still haven't. This guy is concise, thorough and easy to understand, using small words when small words are appropriate--instead of ten ...

Beneath The Roses
Abrams, 2008
DO NOT BUY FINE ART BOOKS FROM AMAZON!!
The book is fantastic! However to my horror it was packed very badly and the book arrived scratched and a big chunk taken out of the cover. Amazon expects me to pay for all shipping costs to get a refund. Since I live in Australia the return shipping would surpass the ...

Song for the Blue Ocean: Encounters Along the World's Coasts and Beneath the Seas
Carl Safina
Holt Paperbacks, 1999
Absolute poetry
I'm only about halfway through this book, but it's so moving that I decided I needed to rave now. Carl Safina uses an amazing grasp of language to paint mental pictures of what he writes about. I work in the scientific community and have spent a lot of time on that ...

Excavating Jesus: Beneath the Stones, Behind the Texts: Revised and Updated
Jonathan L. Reed
HarperOne, 2002
Almost Perfect, but Be Careful of this One
This book, ironically, is filled with information that verifies the Bible as historical fact despite the authors' sneaky attempt to have Jesus appear as just a wise and controversial man (see page 228 where they claim the ressurrection was a myth.)
If you blacked ...

The City Beneath Us: Building the New York Subway
New York Transit Museum
W. W. Norton & Company, 2004
Not as impressed as I thought I'd be
I had high hopes for this book, after several delays and all the hype. But I was somewhat disappointed by the very poor quality of materials (especially the dustjacket), despite it being printed in Italy. The photos are worth 5 stars, but I expected more of them and ...
