Cassell's Spanish & English Dictionary

Cassell's, 1986

Excellent source for its price, but lacking content.
For the price, this is a good source. If you are a more advanced spanish-speaker, or speak in a more colloquial form, you won't find many of the words you are looking for. For beginners, it is great.

The I Ching or Book of Changes: A Guide to Life's Turning Points

Brian Browne Walker

St. Martin's Griffin, 1992

Great book !
This is one of the easist I Ching books I've found, so far ! The text is "right on" when throwing the coins for the hexagrams, it always seems to be just what is needed at the time. In times of confusion or crossroads in life this book always seems to give me ...

Excellent compromise

Resilience Thinking: Sustaining Ecosystems and People in a Changing World

Brian Walker, David Salt

Island Press, 2006

Gem of Useful Education
This is a gem of an educational book. Mixing case studies with elaborating chapters on key concepts, it's as a good a volume as I have found for teaching undergraduates, graduates, and practitioners (farmers, factory managers, investors) the core ideas needed to ...

The Comics: Since 1945

Brian Walker

"Harry N. Abrams, Inc.", 2006

A Great Look at the Funnies
I've felt for a while that the newspaper comic strip is the most ignored form of popular art, rarely looked at critically. While comic books prosper and have gone well beyond the standard superhero format, the comic strip languishes, rarely allowing new and creative ...

The Tao Te Ching of Lao Tzu

Lao Tzu, Brian Browne Walker

St. Martin's Griffin, 1996

Among the Best
This is one of my favorite translations of the Tao Te Ching. However, note that, like the author says, this is by no means a strict translation (athough in the case of the Tao Te Ching, there are so many varied translations / interpretations available that it is ...

Masters of American Comics

Yale University Press, 2005

Masters all
I recently purchased The Monster of Frankenstein, Dick Briefer's Horror Comic Epic" and was so enthralled by this golden age comic that I had to have more. "Masters of Comic Art", a reexamination of pop culture comics morphed in to fine art, is a useful overview ...

Davidson's Principles and Practice of Medicine: with STUDENT CONSULT Access

Nicholas A. Boon, Nicki R. Colledge, ...

Churchill Livingstone, 2006

I was really surprised to see that people didn't like it. We loved it.
Once you get on the wards, this is by far the best book. It helps you with physical examination in the opening of each chapter, then lists symptoms and works outward from there. This, while people complained about it meaning that material is repeated in the disease ...

Brian Walker

HarperOne, 1995

Fantastic book, fantastic service
I had seen Brian Walker's "Hua Hu Ching" in a local book store and picked up a copy. I loved it so much that I went to Amazon and ordered a copy for my wife. The book is fantastic, and essential for anyone who has read any translation of Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching". ...

When Comics Were Funny
And not just funny--witty, colorful, inventive, slapstick, adventurous--and eagerly awaited. Here's an oversized, hardback, full-color, coffee table book chock-full and brimming with the art of the funny papers. Brian Walker, son of Mort Walker (Beetle Bailey), not ...

University of Washington Press, 1999

Glue Stains and All
Curated, with helpful annotations, by a leading expert, this is a beautifully produced exhibition catalog of the original art for American comic strips since 1896. Especially wonderful is the reproduction of cartoon originals in full color (not just black and white ...

Fantagraphics Books, 2005

What a wonderful book!
The one panel gag cartoon is a classic in comic strip lore and nobody did it better than Hank Ketcham. Ketcham's talent is on full display in the first volume of The Complete Dennis The Menace. Like the Peanuts collection, this first volume is an attractively ...
