Excerpt: Pierre Laporte (25 February 1921 17 October 1970) was a Canadian politician who was the Vice-Premier and Minister of Labour of the province of Quebec before being kidnapped and murdered by members of the terrorist group Front de libération du Québec (FLQ) during the October Crisis. Pierre Laporte was born in Montreal, Quebec. He was a journalist with Le Devoir newspaper from 1945 to 1961, and was known for his crusading work against the government of Quebec's then-Premier Maurice Duplessis. After Duplessis' death Laporte successfully ran for a seat in Chambly in the Quebec National Assembly and served in the government of Premier Jean Lesage. Laporte was a member of the Quebec Liberal Party, and considered to be a leading member of the party's left wing. In 1969 after Lesage stepped down as party leader Laporte ran to succeed him, but lost the position to fellow cabinet member Robert Bourassa. When Bourassa was elected Premier of Quebec in 1970, he appointed Laporte as his Vice-Premier and Minister of Labour. On 10 October 1970, Laporte was kidnapped from his home in Saint-Lambert, Quebec by the Chénier Cell of the FLQ. They dubbed him the "Minister of Unemployment and Assimilation," and held him hostage in an anti-government protest because his kidnappers wanted "political prisoners" to be freed. Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau invoked Canada's War Measures Act which allowed mass raids and arrests to take place in order to find Laporte's kidnappers. Trudeau said: On October 17, just seven days after he went missing, Laporte's body was found. His kidnappers were subsequently captured and sentenced to long prison terms f...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=155976 ... Read more

Product Description
For the ambitious (and salacious-sounding) exhibition 50,000 Beds, Brooklyn-based multimedia artist Chris Doyle commissioned 45 fellow artists to make short videos, each set in a different hotel or motel in Connecticut. The videos were shown concurrently--in specially designed multi-screen galleries--at Connecticut's three premier contemporary art venues, which opened on three consecutive nights: The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum in Ridgefield, Artspace in New Haven and Real Art Ways in Hartford. Doyle's concept focuses on the hotel as a site of narrative potential, a location that is intimate, anonymous and infused with tension between the guests and the staff. All 45 artists included in the exhibition--a range of contemporary emerging artists who came up with a diversity of responses to the challenge posed, from fiction to documentary to animation--are included in this attractive volume bound in faux suede. ...

Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Alan Moore (born 18 November 1953) is an English writer known for work in comics, including the acclaimed comic book series Watchmen, V for Vendetta and From Hell. He wrote the novel Voice of the Fire, and performs "workings" (one-off performance art/spoken word pieces) with The Moon and Serpent Grand Egyptian Theatre of Marvels, some released on CD. As a comics writer, Moore applied literary sensibilities to the mainstream of the medium as well as including challenging subject matter and adult themes. He brings a wide range of influences to his work, such as William S. Burroughs, Thomas Pynchon, Robert Anton Wilson and Iain Sinclair, New Wave science fiction writers like Michael Moorcock and horror writers like Clive Barker. Influences within comics include Will Eisner, Harvey Kurtzman, Jack Kirby and Bryan Talbot. Moore was born in Northampton, England to brewery worker Ernest Moore and printer Sylvia Doreen. He lived in a poor working class area, and after passing the Eleven plus exam, attended Northampton Grammar School. In 1970, at the age of 17, he was expelled for dealing LSD, later describing himself as "one of the world's most inept LSD dealers". With his first wife Phyllis, he had two daughters, Amber and Leah. The couple had a mutual lover, Deborah. In time, Phyllis, Deborah, and the two children left Moore. On 12 May 2007, he married Melinda Gebbie, with whom he...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=18932702 ... Read more

Good deal
This price was listed at a great price, shipped quickly, and arrived in the expected condition.

love porno
the book came new. literally no signs of scratches and the cover even cracked like when u open up a new book.

good textbook
it arrived on time in good condition and it was a much better deal than buying at my college bookstore or a local bookstore.

An informative snooze
I ordered this book because it was the required text for my Microbiology course at college. After having taken other specific biology classes without a book specific to the course (ie- Plant Bio/Botany with a General Biology book) I find this book very helpful.

I do have to admit, though, that if you're looking to fall asleep this book is more effective than a glass of warm milk.

From what I have read so far, though, the book is very informative. For the most part the text is concise, avoiding rambling or drawn out points. As another reviewer said, you might find a few rough patches when reading if you aren't entirely familiar with a lot of the basic, earlier bio course terms. The authors don't take any time to explain any concepts that they expect most students will have learned by the time they're taking microbiology. So, if you're taking this out of order, or early, you might want to have some kind of general bio reference at hand. I believe that a the book is also aimed at students who have already taken Plant Bio/Botany, which is not the case at all schools.

Buying on Amazon was an excellent choice, I saved about $80. Just remember, the earlier the better! And pray that you don't have to lug this beast of a book to class with you!

From Strength to Strength
Tesla meets Val Van Garm or whatever his name is close to the beginning of Book Two of Tom Strong, and the story seems to inch a bit closer to adult sexuality, though later on when Tesla is forced to put down the antics of the young Kid Tilt, she seems entirely childlike all over again.Even though, as she reminds Kid Tilt, she's sixty.What's the problem with Tom Strong?Well, oyu don't really care about any of the characters, perhaps because they're all incredibly old and so advanced medically it looks as though they will live forever.

That's why the Tom Strange epic story really makes a difference in Book Two, for you get the alternative emblem of a Tom Strong defeated by life's twists and turns, and visibly hurt and distraught.The amazing image of Tom Strange crossing the Milky Way by foot to get to his earth double is played just right, for once a moment that isn't super whimsical and postmodern.(Though afterwards I was thinking, this really doesn't make a whole lot of sense.)Not that the whimsical and postmodern touches don't have their charms--I like seeing Tom with his search-board tucked under his arm, and the repeating multiples of Tom and Tesla (in "Too Many Teslas"?") have a wacky, Lewis Carroll-like brio that threatens to overturn the master narrative of identification.

I'm hooked all right, even on those Western dopes with an extra eye in the middle of their foreheads, but why couldn't Tom Strong have been better?Too many Teslas, or too many cooks?

Graphic SF Reader
More adventures of a Doc Savage type that does have some time for women.In this trade, we get the backstory to the excellent Terra Obscura spinoff.An desperate and exhausted Tom Strange has crossed 30 light years to get help for his planet, a near identical copy to Earth.A huge alien entity has strated remodelling it to turn it into a spaceship, and he has nowhere else to turn.

Science-Heroism And You
Tom Strong is a hard-punching, quick-thinking man of action whose every escapade speaks of the progress of mankind as a whole. He's a superhero in a sense that predates the term itself; whether the man is creeping through deepest enchanted jungle or patrolling the cable-car skyways of Millenium City, he resonates the joy of not only the adventure at hand, but all those to come. His book reads with the freedom of a pulp noveland the authority of a modern masterpiece. He's Superman, Doc Savage and Tintin mixed together, with a bit of Phileas Fogg added for flavor.

Buy this book. If you enjoy comics, like the kind of story you can reasonably call a 'yarn,' or simply think of yourself as a bit of a hero in your own right, you'll certainly enjoy it. ... Read more

Chapters: Naomi Klein, Christopher Hitchens, Alexander Cockburn, Chris Hedges, Eric Alterman, the Nation, Neve Gordon, Fred J. Cook, David Corn, Dan Wakefield, Katrina Vanden Heuvel, Katha Pollitt, Calvin Trillin, Victor Saul Navasky, Christopher Hayes, Jeff Chang, Hilton Kramer, Patricia J. Williams, Gary Younge, Amy Sohn. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 118. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Christopher Eric Hitchens (born April 13, 1949) is an English-American author and journalist. His books, essays, and journalistic career have spanned more than four decades, making him a public intellectual, and a staple of talk shows and lecture circuits. He has been a columnist and literary critic at The Atlantic, Vanity Fair, Slate, World Affairs, The Nation, Free Inquiry, and a variety of other media outlets. As a political observer, polemicist and self-defined radical with an astute historical knowledge, Hitchens rose to prominence as a fixture of the left-wing publications of both his native United Kingdom and United States. Hitchens's departure from the established political left began in 1989 after what he called the "tepid reaction" of the European left following Ayatollah Khomeini's issue of a fatw calling for the murder of Salman Rushdie. The September 11, 2001 attacks strengthened his embrace of an interventionist foreign policy, and his vociferous criticism of what he called "fascism with an Islamic face." Hitchens's adoption of interventionist foreign policy, employment of the term "Islamofascist" and his notable support for the Iraq War have caused his critics to label him a "neoconservative". Hitchens, however, refuses to embrace this designation, insisting himself to be not "any kind of conservative". Hitchens is an atheist and has been identified as being an exponent of the ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=228998 ... Read more
