Amazing........2007-05-12
Chris van Allsburg, The Mysteries of Harris Burdick (Houghton Mifflin, 1984)
The copy of The Mysteries of Harris Burdick currently sitting beside me is its twenty-fifth printing since 1984. To put that in perspective, Gone with the Wind, first published in 1936, went through its hundredth printing in 1992. Twenty-five printings is nothing to sneeze at, especially for a childrens' book that is almost without language.
Van Allsburg, after a brief introduction, "presents" fourteen illustrations, each of which has only a title and a caption. Fans of the groundbreaking Twilight Zone magazine, which was at the height of its popularity at the same time as the book's publication, will be remarkably familiar with the general look and feel of the illustrations here; realistic, almost photographic, with one thing (major or minor) out of place in the scene; for example, in the illustration featured on the cover, four children are on a hand-powered railroad cart, except the seesaw has been replaced with a mainmast, and the contraption is in full sail. The railroad tracks jut up out of the sea, with it on either side. The title: "Another Place, Another Time." The caption: "If there was an answer, he'd find it here."
The book does exactly what it's meant to do: the illustrations combined with the paucity of text fire the imagination. The reader wants to create his own stories about these fourteen scenes. Van Allsburg's introduction speaks wryly of the thousands of stories that have been written based on these pictures. Wryly, in any case, in 1984. As I write this, in 2007, I have little doubt that he's quite accurate in his assessment of the situation.
Fantastic. Recommended for permanent inclusion in the libraries of people of all ages. **** ½
The Mysteries of Harris Burdick.......2007-02-21
The Mysteries of Harris Burdick by: Chris Van Allsburg is a puzzle that needs to be put together. Every picture is filled with mysteries. This book will tease your mind.
You flip through the pages and read the captions that make you think. Each captions can mean anything for the pictures. The intricate pictures are full of life and adventure. Each picture has its own story and meaning. This book will make wonder if the imaginary could be real. The pictures have some very imaginative things. There is a house taking off like a rocket and a pumpkin lighting up.
I highly suggest you read this book. It is full of imagination and mysteries. Each picture is a whole story by itself.

Very creepy!.......2007-01-10
My students loved this book because it was "kind of creepy", as they put it. They loved to have it as an example of good leads for their own writing.

As some cover blurbs so rightly state, "Before Conan--there was Kull!" The warrior Kull was yet another popular creation of pulp writer Robert E. Howard (1906-1936), generally credited as the originator of the subgenre heroic fantasy. Yet Kull should not be dismissed as second-rate Conan. (Although Howard did transform a few unsold Kull adventures into those of Conan the Cimmerian when the later series took off with the public.) Set in ancient, lost Atlantis, the Kull stories take place mostly after the barbarian has already come to power as King Kull of Valusia. What makes these scant dozen stories most memorable is Howard's heightened style of mystical decadence, similar here to his Weird Tales contemporary, Clark Ashton Smith. Rest assured there's enough gruesome bloodletting and wanton savagery to satisfy the most ardent Howard reader. (Variant editions of this collection have been published over the years, with the uncompleted stories finished posthumously by Lin Carter. Other editions have simply presented the few story fragments as untouched--and unadulterated--Robert E. Howard.) --Stanley Wiater
Book Description
“Howard’s writing seems so highly charged with energy that it nearly gives off sparks.”
–Stephen King
“Robert E. Howard had a gritty, vibrant style–broadsword writing that cut its way to the heart, with heroes who are truly larger than life.”
–David Gemmell
In a meteoric career that spanned a mere twelve years, Robert E. Howard single-handedly invented the genre that came to be called sword and sorcery. From his fertile imagination sprang some of fiction’s most enduring heroes. Yet while Conan is indisputably Howard’s greatest creation, it was in his earlier sequence of tales featuring Kull, a fearless warrior with the brooding intellect of a philosopher, that Howard began to develop the distinctive themes, and the richly evocative blend of history and mythology, that would distinguish his later tales of the Hyborian Age.
Much more than simply the prototype for Conan, Kull is a fascinating character in his own right: an exile from fabled Atlantis who wins the crown of Valusia, only to find it as much a burden as a prize.
This groundbreaking collection, lavishly illustrated by award-winning artist Justin Sweet, gathers together all Howard’s stories featuring Kull, from Kull’s first published appearance, in “The Shadow Kingdom,” to “Kings of the Night,” Howard’s last tale featuring the cerebral swordsman. The stories are presented just as Howard wrote them, with all subsequent editorial emendations removed. Also included are previously unpublished stories, drafts, and fragments, plus extensive notes on the texts, an introduction by Howard authority Steve Tompkins, and an essay by noted editor Patrice Louinet.
“Howard was a true storyteller–one of the first, and certainly among the best, you’ll find in heroic fantasy. If you’ve never read him before, you’re in for a real treat.”
–Charles de Lint
“For stark, living fear . . . what other writer is even in the running with Robert E. Howard?”
–H. P. Lovecraft

Untitled (Thus, said Tu..)
Just the main part of a story, again, but a big fragment. Yet again, the romance between a noble and a woman causes political trouble. Kull uses it as an excuse to at least pretend to be going to crack some heads, and takes Brule and some Red Slayers along to track the recalcitrant young pair down.
3.5 out of 5
Untitled (Three Men..)
Kull and Brule are playing a chess like game, with some colleagues, and Brule is going to tell them a story about a wizard, as Kull moves his wizard piece, and that is the end of the fragment.

Kull Rocks.......2007-07-23
Howard does it again, There is no one like Howard, that will put a sword in your hand and a woman at your feet and make you feel like a alpha male.
A barbarian just as mighty.......2007-03-30
If I could describe Kull in a nutshell, it would be as a more philosophical, brooding barbarian than Conan, though just as interesting. And though Kull never gained the popularity that Conan did, I find Howard's Kull stories equally as good, especially if you are a Howard fan or a lover of old school sword and sorcery.
The setting of the Kull stories is the fictional land of Valusia. Kull is an Atlantean savage who has usurped the Valusian throne, and though he rules with compassion and fairness he is often secretly hated by the Valusians who see him as a red-handed foreigner not fit to wear the crown.
The Kull stories contained within this volume involve various court intrigues and the perilous adventures Kull is often forced to undertake. Most are good, some excellent, and only a couple would I rate as sub-par. The setting is dark and mysterious (and made more so by the gorgeous illustrations of Justin Sweet that fill this book), and Howard's lush, vibrant writing style is present as usual. If you are a Howard and/or Conan fan, you need to get this book, especially if you've never read Kull before. For the price you'll pay here, its worth every cent.
Great Look at Howard's Development as a Writer.......2007-01-05
As is pointed out by the editor of this volume, it's a mistake to view Kull -- as many people do -- as just a Conan prototype. The Kull stories stand well on their own merit and the character is not just a primitive version of Conan.
Still, I think it's clear that the Kull stories represent an earlier, less developed phase in Howard's meteoric writing career. In these stories, we can see Howard's story telling mastery in an earlier stage of development than in the Conan stories. It's noteworthy that Howard's first Conan story was based on one of his last -- and unsold -- Kull stories, "By this Axe, I Rule!"
For anyone who loves Howard's work, the stories in this volume represent an essential stage in Howard's development as a writer and story-teller. Also, Conan's Hyperborian world was quite literally built upon the ruins of Kull's Atlantean/Valusian world. To really understand and appreciate Conan, you have to know Kull.
Even if Conan had never been created though, it would still be worth the readers trouble to meet Kull. These are superb stories and very important to the development of the American school of fantasy writing -- what would later become known as "Sword and Sorcery" writing.
Precurser to Conan.......2006-11-23
Although some argue that "The Shadow Kingdom" is the first Sword and Sorcery story ever published, I'm not sure that I agree. In my opinion, the earlier Solomon Kane stories could also be classified as belonging in this genre, the only real difference being a historical background rather than a fictional one. As fans of Howard already know, King Kull is sort of a prototype of Conan, and to be honest, by and large the stories are not as good as the Conan ones. Still, there are a lot a jewels here.
"The Shadow Kingdom" is, in my opinion, the obvious standout, and it should have been the basis for the ill conceived Kevin Sorbo fiasco. Kull battles a race of serpent men who can assume human form and have infiltrated all levels of society.
"By This Ax I Rule" was never published during Howard's lifetime, and was rewritten as the first Conan story, "The Phoenix on the Sword", which is also a better story in my opinion. The climactic fight scene, which is virtually the same in both versions, is trademark Howard: extreme graphically described violence and headlong action at a breakneck pace. That's one of the things that makes Howard's stories so fun to read over and over; they thrill you on a purely visceral level. When it comes to writing an exiciting action scene, Howard has no peers, past or present.
One of the most enigmatic things about the character Kull, which Howard never clarifies, is his asexuality. Kull has no interest in the opposite sex at all. Is he a virgin? Howard seems to be saying that he is. Why? Howard never explains. Anyone who has read the Conan stories knows that his sexual prowess is almost as legendary as his prowess with a broadsword. Why is such a manly character as Kull, so full of testoterone, so disinterested. I was hoping that the editor would give his thoughts on the subject, but he says very little about it.
The artwork is spectacular. I hope that they'll be releasing a deluxe full color edition in the future, but Wandering Star is now already a year behind on releasing "Conan of Cimmeria volume 3", which leads one to wonder about the financial health of this publishing house.
All and all, this is a good read for the casual fan Sword and Sorcery, and an essential addition to the serious Howard collector's library of works. I'm withholding giving it 5 stars simply because the latter Conan stories are so much better.

Book Description
Long considered both best friend and worst enemy to humankind, fire is at once creative and destructive. On the endangered tropical island of Madagascar, these two faces of fire have fueled a century-long conflict between rural farmers and island leaders. Based on detailed fieldwork in Malagasy villages and a thorough archival investigation, Isle of Fire offers a detailed analysis of why Madagascar has always been aflame, why it always will be aflame, and ultimately, as Christian Kull argues, why it should remain aflame.
Customer Reviews:
A solid study of fire.......2004-09-17
This book is an excellent, thorough study of the role of fire in Madagascar. People in Madagascar light fires to clear forest and pasture. This habit has been widely denounced in official and popular sources. Many writers believe, mistakenly, that Madagascar was covered with lush forests until people got there and started burning. Yet, Madagascar is mostly a dry tropical environment, with frequent lightning storms. The existence of fire-adapted endemic plants and vegetation types confirms what common sense would lead us to expect: fire has always been there. On the other hand, much superb forest, especially in the eastern and central highlands of the country, has been converted to waste by burning in recent decades or centuries.
Christian Kull discusses this complex picture--good fire, bad fire, complex fire. He shows that the inflated rhetoric about fire's awful effects stems from the needs of national and colonial regimes to maintain control as much as from the actual needs of fire management. He provides a number of excellent case studies of local communities that use fire in a variety of ways--sometimes for good, sometimes for ill, in terms of overall welfare and environmental management. He provides really excellent suggestions at the end on what should be done--I hope the NGO's and Madagascar government are reading this book.
One problem that might deserve more attention is the case of introduced plants. Madagascar was inflicted by the French colonial regime with eucalyptus, pine, and acacia--nonnative plants that burn explosively. (Native forests do not burn so explosively, so far as I have observed.) They have created an unnatural and terribly fire-prone environment in many areas. They are currently managed (illegally!) by local burning during times that are wet enough to prevent runaway fires.
So, why not five stars? First is that Kull gets carried away at times, and indulges in rhetoric that is a bit too "inflammatory" (the word is irresistable). The government and NGO workers are really not just out to push people around; there is a real point here. Burning is too little controlled and too badly managed. The leaders are clearly motivated by a desire for control, but they have a real point, too. Simplistic bash-the-leaders rhetoric sits poorly with Kull's otherwise thoughtful and nuanced study. Second, Kull might have checked more on other areas of the world--those in which indigenous burning is much better controlled and managed than it is in Madagascar (e.g. the Maya lowlands of Mexico), and those in which it is as badly managed, with devastating results (parts of south China). Third, Kull does not say enough about the biodiversity problem, which is getting worse by the day. Madagascar is home to an incredible endemic biota, which must be preserved for the benefit of humanity. Unfortunately, the costs of preserving this biota are currently being paid by the desperately poor Malagasy people, while the benefits go to humanity as a whole--especially to well-off tourists and scientists. Fire prevention to save endemic species is desperately needed, but somebody will have to figure out how to compensate local people more fairly. Kull's advice on overall fire management is so good that he might well turn his efforts to this problem. As I explained to some students in the Madagascar bush: It's not about lemurs vs. people, it's about lemurs and people vs. no lemurs and no people.
Fire management is a part of the wider issue of environmental control, an issue far too important to be left to government agents or local people or anyone else. We all have to work on it; all of us, lemurs included, are in this together.

WW2 Veterans Should Read This Book.......2004-01-10
This book is a must read for anyone who experienced WW2 or has an interest in that time in history. I spent 35 days in the infantry in the Battle of the Bulge & I found the depiction of the daily living--& dying-- to be factually accurate.
Poignant and timely.......2003-11-12
This book is a terrific primary source for history students. It gives a surprisingly upbeat view of the loneliness and challenges of a young man in basic training and then the European theatre during WWII. The descriptions of the daily life of the G.I. are insightful and unusual and not often mentioned in more scholarly sources. These letters are witty and well-written- which makes them a tribute to the young man who wrote them, as well as an indictment of war.
Book Description
From 1840 to 1960 the profoundest claim of Americans who fought the institution of segregation was that the government had no business sorting citizens by the color of their skin. During these years the moral and political attractiveness of the antidiscrimination principle made it the ultimate legal objective of the American civil rights movement. Yet, in the contemporary debate over the politics and constitutional law of race, the vital theme of antidiscrimination has been largely suppressed. Thus a strong line of argument laying down one theoretical basis for the constitutional protection of civil rights has been lost.
Andrew Kull provides us with the previously unwritten history of the color-blind idea. From the arguments of Wendell Phillips and the Garrisonian abolitionists, through the framing of the Fourteenth Amendment and Justice Harlan's famous dissent in Plessy, civil rights advocates have consistently attempted to locate the antidiscrimination principle in the Constitution. The real alternative, embraced by the Supreme Court in 1896, was a constitutional guarantee of reasonable classification. The government, it said, had the power to classify persons by race so long as it acted reasonably; the judiciary would decide what was reasonable.
In our own time, in Brown v. Board of Education and the decisions that followed, the Court nearly avowed the rule of color blindness that civil rights lawyers continued to assert; instead, it veered off for political and tactical reasons, deciding racial cases without stating constitutional principle. The impoverishment of the antidiscrimination theme in the Court's decision prefigured the affirmative action shift in the civil rights agenda. The social upheaval of the 1960s put the color-blind Constitution out of reach for a quartercentury or more; but for the hard choices still to be made in racial policy, the colorblind tradition of civil rights retains both historical and practical significance.

Before There was Conan, There was Kull..........2004-01-24
For Robert E. Howard neophytes, a little background. REH created Kull prior to Conan, but had difficulty seling his stories. What few there are were sometimes far more involved and intricately plotted than the typical Conan tale. Since they didn't sell, REH came up with Conan and a few of Kull's tale actully were transformed into Conan stories.
One of those was "By This Axe I Rule," which was loosely adapted to become "The Phoenix on the Sword," as I recall. Some people actually prefer the character of Kull to Conan. Regardless, Kull is a worthwhile and enjoyable read.

Kull of Atlantis, once a slave and a pirate, has seized the throne of fabled Valusia. But his reign is not an easy one. Jealous nobles and scheming priests plot against the new king, and Kull can trust no one--except, perhaps, the beautiful fortune-teller Zareta.
Kull's enemies will go to any lengths to overthrow him, even reviving an ancient sorceress who has been dead for three thousand years. Alivasha, witch-queen of lost Acheron, uses her unholy magic to seduce and betray Kull. Now he must fulfill a cryptic prophecy to defeat the forces of drakness--and reclaim his crown.

Although out of print it would be available with the press of your mouse button. This book was pressed to the fullest by the author and is an excellent book for the very rare subject. It helps New England (especially Vermont,) get some publicity. Thank You!
