Michelangelo's Drawings: The Science of Attribution

Book Description

Neil Diamond has written some of the most memorable songs in pop history. A brilliant song writer and a charismatic live performer, he is one of the Top 5 most successful solo artists in pop music, and has sold over 120 million albums. However, he is a star who has suffered periods of crippling self-doubt. He is an intriguing blend of contradictions--a massively entertaining live performer, yet deeply introspective off stage. After years of anonymity in Tin Pan Alley churning out hits for other artists and surviving on only one dollar a day, Neil Diamond burst onto the scene in his own right in 1969 with "Sweet Caroline". This fascinating portrait of Neil Diamond--his life, his music, his passion--is explored from his childhood struggle to get out of Brooklyn, through five decades of global stardom. This biography gives a compelling insight into the complex man behind the glittering legend.

Neil Diamond: His Life, His Music, His passion.......2007-03-08

Very nice book. My wife loved it.

A surprising book.......2007-02-12

Being a Neil Diamond fan for as long as I remember, I had to purchase this book and was not disappointed. Ms Jackson covers a surprising amount of information and really gives you tremendous insight into Neil's heart, mind, and character. She exposes you to what his life entailed and everything that influenced what he is today. It made me fall in love with him even more...if that was possible!!

Very interesting and informative........2006-02-25

I have been a Neil Diamond fan from way back. I have seen him in concert many times and will still continue to see him. He is an extremely talented man who has so much to offer but suffers from some road blocks at times trying to get out what he wants to. When he finds his groove it leaves me breathless. I enjoyed the book. My favorite Neil song is I am I said.

Book Description

Jewish ecological discourse has shown that Judaism harbors deep concern for the well-being of the natural world. However, the movement has not articulated a Jewish theology of nature, nor has it submitted the sources of Judaism to a systematic, philosophical examination. This volume intends to contribute to the nascent discourse on Judaism and ecology by clarifying diverse conceptions of nature in Jewish thought and by using the insights of Judaism to formulate a constructive Jewish theology of nature. The twenty-one contributors consider the Bible and rabbinic literature, examine the relationship between the doctrine of creation and the doctrine of revelation in the context of natural law, and wrestle with questions of nature and morality. They look at nature in the Jewish mystical tradition, and they face the challenges to Jewish environmental activism caused by the tension between the secular nature of the environmental discourse and Jewish religious commitments.

Book Description

No sport has mattered more to Americans than baseball--and no team has had a greater impact on baseball than the New York Yankees. Now Neil Sullivan delivers a narrative worthy of his fabled subject, in this marvelous history of Yankee Stadium. Fans have a box-seat at the Stadium's first Opening Day: The stunning visual impact of the baseball's first true stadium, the festivities, the players (including Babe Ruth who christened the Stadium with its first home run), and the game in which the Yankees beat the Boston Red Sox 4-1. The Stadium was immediately known as "The House That Ruth Built," but Sullivan takes us behind the scenes to meet the politicians, businessmen and fixers who were even more responsible for the Stadium than the Babe was: Colonel Jacob Ruppert, the beer baron and Tammany Hall insider who bought the Yankees and built the Stadium; Mayors like Jimmy Walker who reigned during the Yankees first Golden Age, John Lindsay who fought hard for liberal causes in the 1960s but even harder for a refurbished Stadium, and Rudy Giuliani, who has taken a hard-nosed approach to most welfare but who supports a stadium subsidy for the Yankees. Here too are the great seasons including the cross town World Series rivalries with the New York Giants and the Brooklyn Dodgers. Sullivan looks at the legendary players like Joe DiMaggio and Mickey Mantle as well as lesser lights like Jake Powell to see their impact beyond the diamond. Along the way, Sullivan uses the story of the Stadium to examine issues ranging from racial integration and urban renewal to the reasons why New York City, even during tough times, has come to adopt the Stadium as a public obligation. Neil Sullivan knows baseball and city politics and the connections between the two. In these pages, he tells how Yankee Stadium is not just the most revered venue in American sports, but also a part of urban history as compelling as the grandest baseball legend.

Jazmin's Tricky Review.......2007-03-25

The Diamond in the Bronx is a verryy ticky book. It leads you to believe that it's all about the Yankee's and the stadium; the history behind it. When really it's ALLL about politics. The first couple chapters are interesting because they have history on how Dodger Walter O'Malley had his desire to build the Yankee stadium. The book then goes into detail on how the stadium affects the politics of New York. Making it complicated for race and wealth to be apart of the stadium, since the stadium was located in the Bronx; one of the boroughs that have more ethnic people rather than caucasians. It was also a question that if the stadium was taking money from "more important things" like transportation, and city neecessities. If you're more of a baseball, stadium fan, this book in not for you, however, if you are a politics fan, GET THIS BOOK!!!!

The Diamond in the Bronx: Yankee Stadium and the Politics of New York.......2005-10-14

Neil J. Sullivan does a good job explaining some of the politics and corrutption surrounding the building and keeping of Yankee Stadium in N.Y. Being a native New Yorker I can relate to some of these events. Being a scholar as well, their are some things that I disagree with and some things tend to be repeat themselves in his book. He does go off subject some and then tries to tie it all together. I thought the book was a very good read!

Yankee Stadium AND the Politics of New York.......2004-03-26

This book was very interesting. I loved the way it recounted every detail in history about the stadium. It took you "behind the scenes" of New York's politicians and the stadium. It kept me interested. The whole time i felt like i was in New York in the 1920s, it gave me a whole new respect for baseball.

To Much Politics.......2002-12-19

This book started off good, with the opening of the stadium and the first home run hit by Babe Ruth to christen the stadium. But after the first two chapters the book becomes to involved with the politics and the businessmen behind the stadium and its players. This book did not keep me entertained while I read it, and I found myself many times struggling to turn to the next page.

The Diamond In The Bronx-Yankee Stadium and Politics of NY.......2002-02-03

If you are a baseball fan,Yankee fan or ballpark buff expecting to find a history of the Stadium and/or the events on the field,you'll find this book boooorrriiing.If,however,you are into politics with a little baseball history thrown in,then this book is for you.The Introduction sounds promising-Yankee owner Ruppert using his own money to build a new stadium as opposed to modern day owners looking for a handout.Weighing the importance of financing a stadium against the other needs of a city.And,does stadium subsidy take money from things like public safety,transportation,health care,etc?
The book itself starts on Opening Day 1923,describing the festivities and on field happenings.It quickly delves into politics of the era and ties between team owners and City Hall.There is a brief background on Babe Ruth and his influence on the game.There is a history of the early Highlanders,Hilltop Park and the Yanks stay in the Polo Grounds.Some mention of the Stadiums construction.Then,we're bought back to the late 19th century and a look at immigrants,including details of a dog fight.After a history of early 20th century Bronx,I started skimming through the pages.The mysterious Tammany Hall is of no interest to most baseball fans.Neither are Mayor Walkers escapades,Prohibition,the Depression,President Roosevelt or Mayor LaGuardia.There is a brief recap of each season.The next chapters cover the Stadiums sale in the 50's and the race issues in the Bronx {and Brooklyn}which factor into matters even today.
Thing get interesting {to me} in the 70's with discussions between the Yanks Mike Burke and NYC Mayor Lindsay regarding Stadium renovations.It seems that the Yankee Village concept actually began back then.The threat of the team moving to New Jersey was real {the NFL Giants moved} although the author does not feel the threat was as real regarding the Yankees.The last few chapters discuss the failed Steinbrenner-Mayor Koch lease extension negotiations,and the Mayor Giulianiani love-fest with the Yanks.A good amount of local columnists reactions are included,though there are too many from the high brow NY Times for my tastes.The photo section includes fourteen in all,seven of which I found interesting.
In fairness to Mr Sullivan,I enjoyed his earlier book,The Dodgers Move West,which detailed the political manuevering regarding the Brooklyn Dodgers and their attempts to get a new stadium built.Perhaps that book was better written because Mr Sullivan is a Dodger fan and the subject matter was more interesting to him.Except for brief passages,his Yankee Stadium book will leave most fans wishing they hadn't spent the money.I borrowed mine from the library,and noticed that it had been taken out about two dozen times,almost always for a period of two days.I feel that this is because most readers realized it is a political book disguised as a baseball book,and they quickly became turned off.
