The Family Of Man
The Museum of Modern Art, New York
, 2002
Perhaps the best photographic book ever published
I first found this book at Foyle's in London, about 35 years ago, and it struck me. Since then, I bought five copies of the Family of Man, but no one remained in my home, because ever I felt the need to give this book to someone I loved or trusted. What is making this ...

Modern Man in Search of a Soul (Harvest Book)
C. G. Jung
Harvest/HBJ Book
, 1955
Insightful Analytical Psychology
A very insightful and meaningful book, 11 intriguing essays in 244 pages. Jung is a deeper thinker, and I think not reductive like Freud and Adler tended to be. He makes no claim to dogmatism or absolutes. Jung really hits on the psyche and transcends the borders of ...
How to Make a Man Fall in Love with You: The Fail-Proof, Fool-Proof Method
Tracy Cabot
Dell
, 1987
It works!!
Although this another tome aimed primarily toward women, as a gay man who is also searching for love, I could not resist picking up this book--and boy am I glad I did. I had my "queer eye" on a fellow at work named Jerry for a long time, but he never seemed interested ...
One-Dimensional Man: Studies in the Ideology of Advanced Industrial Society
Herbert Marcuse
Beacon Press
, 1991
When We Dead Awake
By pure chance I found an old, tattered copy of this in a used book shop many years ago. I still recall the bizarre sensation of realizing that someone else, much older than me and way ahead of my own experiences, had expressed so accurately, so vividly, a view of ...
Makes Me Wanna Holler: A Young Black Man in America
Nathan Mc Call
Vintage
, 1994
Sorry It's Not What You Want it to Be
Reading some of these reviews makes me really sad and angry at the same time. Mostly for the same reason which is that you missed the point of the book. If you are pissed off about this book, feeling guilty or mad about how the person you related to most in the story ...
Man in the Middle
Brian Haig

Okay for a winter's eve
When the snow flies I like to curl up in front of the fire with an interesting book, and this year I discovered Brian Haig. Haig's premises and settings are interesting: a career Army operative becomes an attorney due to injury and always seems to be up a level ...

The Railway: Art in the Age of Steam (Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art)
Ian Kennedy
,
Julian Treuherz
Yale University Press

A monument!
The quality of exhibition catalogs ranges from poor to excellent. In this case, we have a catalog that fulfills all most important requirements. For one, although some snobs describe it as "pretty pictures', the reproductions are accurate, and their size is good. ...
To Kiss in the Shadows
Lynn Kurland
Berkley
, 2006
Sweet and satisfying story
Much like the rest of Lynn Kurland's historical romances, this one touches you sweetly. There's no doubt in my mind, Lynn Kurland is the undisputed reigning author of romance now. This story involves Jason and Lianna and it was very well written. The gentle family ...
