| 1. "Animal Farm" (Literature Guidelines) | 
|
From: Longman
Publisher: Longman
May 01, 1990
Orwell shows the incrimental rise of tyrrany among barnyard animals. That's really what is at the heart of this book: the slow methodical creep of ever more constrictive, exploitive, and oppressive laws which transform a free society to a totalitarian dictatorship. Each step is slowly introduced, and introduced to the public in a calm and well-reasoned manner. If done skillfully, no individual step... more

By: John Lutz, David August
Publisher: Sunset Productions
1998-03
I enjoyed the book very much, right up until the end. I felt that it was wrapped up too quickly, and too half-hearted for all the care that was given to the rest of the novel. ... more

This book is really good. It Shows, sometimes complex, mechanisms of hibernate search in a very straightforward way. I like it very much and I think that it's worth it's price. Again it tourned out that american book written by Americans is far more informative than any other book or manual. KISS rule is used all along the book therefore reading is a pleasure.

| 5. The Oxford History of Greece & the Hellenistic World |
|
From: Oxford University Press, USA
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
2002-03
This book is a bit disjointed because each chapter is written by a different author. So, it doesn't flow as easily as it could. Also, some of the authors go on and on about their particular topic of interest. For example,there is an entire chapter on Greek drama that is nearly 40 pages long. A chapter on Greek art and architecture that is 34 pages long. For me, this was too much. It may be right for... more

| 6. Process Theology | 
|
By: John B. Cobb Jr., David Ray Griffin
Publisher: Westminster John Knox Press
January 01, 1976
This presentation is good, but highly academic. Example: I am a graduate student pursuing a PhD in psychology, in addition to being a long-time, well-read digester of theology and philosophy, and I had a lot of trouble reading this. Not because the concepts themselves are vacuous or unintelligible, but simply because this is written for serious philosophy students who have quite a background in the... more

| 8. HIT AND RUN HOW JON PETERS AND PETER GUBER TOOK SONY FOR A RIDE IN HOLLYWOOD |
|
By: Nancy Griffin
Publisher: Audioworks
January 01, 1996
I think the subtitle of the book says it best. Jon Peters and Peter Guber took Sony for a long and expensive ride in Hollywood.
The book also serves as a biography of these two famous gentlemen and how they managed to take credit for a lot of other peoples creativity. They took credit for other peoples ideas and then promoted the hell out of these movies and managed to make themselves rich... more

By: John Griffin
Publisher: Insight Editions
September 02, 2008
The movie was a little chaotic in the sense that the plot line was everywhere. I got the idea they were trying to convey, but I think it lacked a little cohesiveness. My father is a huge Halloween fanatic, so he wanted this for Christmas. The book is quite elaborate and of great quality. I wish the movie had been tweaked with a little bit and released into theaters. I recommend this movie to all... more
