Book Description
Claire Denis is one of France's most acclaimed and original filmmakers. Since her remarkable debut success with Chocolat (1986), she has produced an impressive series of features which have been intriguing, visually striking, and often highly controversial--including Beau Travail (2000) and Trouble Every Day (2001). Beugnet provides a thematic and stylistic framework within which to consider Denis' work, as well as a comprehensive analysis of individual films. She highlights the resonance of Denis' films in relation to ongoing debates about French national identity and culture, and issues of postcolonial identity, alienation and transgression, as well as examining their exploration of the interface between sexuality, desire and sensuality.This is an essential introduction to Denis, and a sophisticated and illuminating study of her work to date.

Book Description
Thor is the human, heartwarming story of a remarkable German shepherd's first years. It chronicles, with respect and affection, the noble, heroic world of Thor's ancestors, his immense capacity for love, his zest, his growing maturity, and what the author calls his "Olympian serenity."
David Douglas Duncan, one of the world's greatest photographers, is the author of twenty books, with sales worldwide of over two million copies. He says that "perhaps this simple story of discovery and love is my favorite."
We think readers will make Thor a favorite of theirs, too - young and old, dog-lovers, lovers of fine photography, and just about everyone else who can see more than a little magic in man's relationship to a titan of the animal kingdom. Thor may well become one of the most beloved accounts of a dog ever published. (83/4 X 111/4, 100 pages, b&w photos)
Customer Reviews:
Wonderful tribute to a much loved dog.......2007-07-21
A few people reviewing this book have it confused with a novel titled Thor. This is by far my favorite book of all time, in fact, so much so, that I have 2 copies. The pictures are amazing and the love oozing from the words of the author are so touching. I could write a book just like this about my past and present "babies". God speed sweet Thor....snow dancing forever.
Which Book Is This, Horror or Nostalgia?.......1999-10-10
The book Thor is one of my favorites...assuming there are not two. The synopsis above does not seem to describe at all the book I and the reviewers have read. The book I so enjoyed described a loyal dog's silent, lonely, heroic struggle to protect his family from an enemy within which he had no chance of defeating. It's truly a wonderful book, in some ways in the spirit of Watership Down or Tailchaiser's Song. The book described in the synopsis, however, seems to be the story of a beloved pet in real life. Very confusing...if you find the suspense tale entitled Thor, on which I believe the movie "Bad Moon" (and equally bad movie, but not the author's fault) was based, pick it up. It's a wonderfully engaging one or two night read that will keep you up til dawn. I hope the author gives those of us who enjoyed the book so much another night or two of pleasure...it's a stretch, but if Bruice Willis continues to get into Die Hard situations, why not Thor? Thrilling, heartwrenching read. Poor kitty.
fantastic photography...a german shepherd lover's delight........1999-04-05
reviewer o.c., ca. certainly never saw or read the book. as a shepherd trainer and owner i would have to describe this a combinatin of poetry and fine art. genuinely touching. a remarkable epitaph to a dog that was loved and is missed.
So Very Sad when They Sent him too the Pound!.......1998-12-01
Thor was one of my favorite books! When the secret of the family's uncle came out was very scary! When a wild animal keeps coming and kills the young cat that thor actually loves he is sent to the pound and the owner crys as he is taken away. It certainly made me cry after a dignified dog was thrown into the pound!
Can not be read without a lump in your throat........1998-06-07
Magnificent pictures. Gorgeous free verse. An animal of great dignity and joy.

Book Description
David Hilbert was arguably the leading mathematician of his generation. He was among the few mathematicians who could reshape mathematics, and was able to because he brought together an impressive technical power and mastery of detail with a vision of where the subject was going and how it should get there. This was the unique combination which he brought to the setting of his famous 23 Problems. Few problems in mathematics have the status of those posed by David Hilbert in 1900. Mathematicians have made their reputations by solving individual ones such as Fermat's last theorem, and several remain unsolved including the Riemann hypotheses, which has eluded all the great minds of this century. A hundred years on, it is timely to take a fresh look at the problems, the man who set them, and the reasons for their lasting impact on the mathematics of the twentieth century. In this fascinating new book, Jeremy Gray and David Rowe consider what has made this the pre-eminent collection of problems in mathematics, what they tell us about what drives mathematicians, and the nature of reputation, influence and power in the world of modern mathematics. The book is written in a clear and lively manner and will appeal both to the general reader with an interest in mathematics and to mathematicians themselves.
Customer Reviews:
Absolutely horrible book; look elsewhere for Hilbert.......2005-05-12
In brief, I do not recommend this book to anyone.
The book has three main problems that make it unenjoyable and quite tedious to get through.
The first problem is that the mathematical problems are not sufficiently well explained. In some cases, the problem and it's math are not explained in sufficient depth. In other cases, the problem is not clearly explained and comprehensible. In yet other cases, the problem's application or usefulness is not explained well. Finally, some math is explained so cursorily that it might as well not even have been discussed.
The second problem is that the layout of the book made very little logical sense. First, the author split the problems into various groups. Then, the author split the timeline into various sections: Pre-1900, 1900-1918, 1918-1945 and 1945-1999. He then proceeded to discuss some of the problems in each of the timelines. At each step, you've lost the entire train of thought from the previous section, and it becomes hard to understand what, if any, logical flow or consistency there was in the development of the work on Hilbert's problems or anything that lead from it.
The third and most serious issue against the book is that the author briefly introduces the "23" Hilbert problems and then subsequently expects the reader to understand what "Problem 10" is every time he refers to it, and exactly how it relates to all the other problems. There are quite a few sentences which refer to several problems by number and unless the reader is constantly referring back to the brief summary of all the problems, the sentence might as well have been in martian. After a few dozen pages of playing this "refer to the problem list" game, I became so frustrated that I just gave up and read the book.
Some minor problems include the fact that only 223 pages of the book are by the author; the rest is a translation of Hilbert's 1900 talk. (That is, less than 75% of the book is what the book is supposed to be about.) Another problem for me is that the paper is high gloss. It looks very nice at a glance, but when you try to read it, you are often faced with glare unless you orient the book perfectly with respect to the light source(s) - a problem I ordinarily face only with magazines.
Another minor problem, which may be interpreted as a positive thing by many (and I welcome that interpretation), is that the author spends a fair bit of time discussing social, governmental political and educational political aspects of countries, universities, and mathematicians. Except in a few minor cases, these things seem highly tangential to the work at hand, and although somewhat entertaining, distract from the intent of the book.
All in all, I found myself about half way through finishing it just so I could put it down and start another book, and preferably one completely unrelated to the topic. The author made such a hash of the subject that, despite finding several other interesting books on Hilbert and his problems here on Amazon, I have no interest whatsoever in reading them and actually finding out about things.
all you want to know about hilbert and his problems.......2001-09-22
When I first heard of the hilbert problems, and how important they seemd to be for all of maths that evolved after that, since 1900 until present, I wanted to know more. This book is a very pleasant read for several reasons:
It is easy to read and well explained, even if you don't grasp the full maths, still there is a story around every of the 23 problems that lets you understand the implication, and the full drama of its solution.
It is a nice biography of Hilbert 'the man', intertwined with the 23 problems, so it does not get boring like some biographies do with endless lists of calendar-facts.
There is even a full translation of the original speech he gave in Paris in 1900, which otherwise would be impossible to find.
The problems itself are well explained, as well in the timeframe of 1900, when first posed, as later in our time when maths was ready to solve them. The author did a good job also telling which of the problems really were important, really gave mahts further problems to think about, and which problems didnt give rise to new mathematical areas, and therefore became more or less curiosities after solution.
Reading this book gave me a feeling of how beautiful maths can be, how unexpectedly some problems can and cannot be solved, and evokes some of the drama of the worlds biggest minds at work.
If you are interested in maths and/oir in science and great minds: this is an excellent read!
An excellent history of Hilbert and his problems.......2001-04-10
At the turn of the last century, David Hilbert posed 23 problems that he considered to be the most critical ones to be solved in the 20th century. Certainly the best mathematician of his time, the challenge that he put forward has served as a benchmark for progress in mathematics over the last 100 years. This book is a retrospective of what has been done on those problems, a biography of Hilbert and a history of his times. In choosing the problems, he selected only those that he felt would lead to significant mathematics. For example, the recently resolved Fermat's Last Theorem was not on the list.
While many of the problems have been solved, it is a tribute to Hilbert that some are still unsolved and there appears to be no hope that they will be resolved soon. A few of the problems were solved relatively quickly, but most succumbed only after decades of intensive work. All of the problems that he put forward are explained in great detail, and if they were solved, the manner of solution demonstrated. Since these problems are hard, it is not possible to thoroughly describe them without resorting to some advanced mathematics. However, that is kept to a minimum, so it is possible for someone without detailed knowledge to understand most of the explanations.
The German universities were very powerful centers of mathematical progress during Hilbert's lifetime and the story about the interaction of the personalities and the split between pure and applied mathematics makes very interesting reading. Mathematics is in many ways just another human endeavor, subject to petty spats, nationalistic rivalries and personal biases. The saddest part of the book is the description of what happened to the once proud university system when the Nazi party rose to power. An incredible amount of talent was hounded away, which was fortunate for them as most of those who remained and had an incorrect heritage were killed. Hilbert was a firm believer in the value of applied mathematics, so he no doubt would have been frustrated over the split between the pure and applied camps that occurred after the end of the second world war. Given that he was so much of both, I wonder what tone his voice would have had.
Hilbert was an intellectual giant who is known most for his set of famous problems rather than his impressive work on resolving problems. While the emphasis is on the famous 23 problems, enough effort is expended on what else he did to make the book as much a biography of Hilbert as it is on the problems he posed. That alone would make it well worth reading.

Book Description
Far surpassing any thriller novel, this is the amazing, true story of a man who epitomizes the indomitable human spirit. When fourteen-year-old Martin Gray finds himself and his family looting their own Warsaw factory, scrambling out of the ruins carrying sackfuls of gloves after its bombing by the Germans, his talent for quietly observing what is going on around him becomes his secret weapon. He watches, brick by brick, as his beloved neighborhood is sealed off from the rest of Warsaw, imprisoning everyone inside. He watches who wears blue; who wears white armbands, the Star of David; yellow armbands. He studies the streetcars passing through the ghetto gates to the outside. He creates a smuggling operation, hopping on and off streetcars, hiding his armband in his shirt, knowing who to bribe, creating false papers, speaking German or Polish, flirting with death, in and out, in and out, everyday. All for those he loves. This story follows Martin as he is captured with his family and taken by train to the Treblinka Concentration camp, and details his escape and heroic efforts to build a new life. This remarkable man is alive today, and his riveting story speaks to the enduring triumph of the human spirit. For Those I Loved was first published by Little, Brown & Co. in 1972, and was a New York Times bestseller as well as a bestseller in 20 languages. Including two other books in English and nine others in French, Martin Gray's books have been read by an estimated 30 million people worldwide. He was awarded the United Nations "Dag Hammarskjöld" award.

Uncertain waters. .......2007-06-10
I first heard of this book when I was in college during a course on the autobiography. We didn't read it, and it was only mentioned in passing. The theme of the course was autobiography & truth and we spent a great deal of time discussing what our expectations of authors were in terms of telling the truth.
Martin Gray's book is particularly problematic because it is extremely inspiring. It tells the story of survival and heroism in the face of the Holocaust and sends a strong affirmative message about the ability of victims to take their destiny into their own hands. Very strong, and very moving.
Unfortunately, it appears that there are troubling doubts about the accuracy of Gray's book. We know that he lived in the Warsaw Ghetto. We know that he lost his parents. That something terrible happened to him, nobody questions. However, some of his accounts of Treblinka appear to be impossible. He supposedly saw things at times that they did not yet exist. His role in N.K.V.D. is not mentioned. He also (more understandably) elides the fact that he took some serious "short cuts" (wording from the introduction) in setting up his antique business.
The thing is that as you read the book, there is something very implausible about the feel of the text. He does so much, accomplishes so much, and without the ordinary pacing of ordinary life that seems normal even in the most heroic of men. It is clearly so important to Gray to show that there were Jewish heroes during the Holocaust that it seems possible that he would be willing to stretch the truth in order to make his point.
We will never know how much of For Those I Loved is truth. And that, it seems to me, is too bad. The crazy folks over at the revisionist extreme right have seized on the inaccuracies in Gray's book, and use them to attack other unimpeachable memoirs and accounts of the Holocaust. No matter how noble his mission was in the beginning, it is time for somebody to set the record straight. I personally suspect that the truth would be found to outweigh the lies, but then I generally have high hopes for people. Gray's passion and the strength of his life speaks to his essential sincerity.
For Those I Loved was ghost written by Max Gallo.
If it's all true..........2007-01-20
If it's all a true account of Martin Gray's life experiences, then it's remarkable. If not, as the previous reviewer contends, then it's a shame. I found it an interesting read, giving it the benefit of any doubts. However, the writing is often redundant in it's expressions of despair. Without doubt, such experiences would be despairing, however the frequency of mentioning it is distracting. A long read but not too difficult to get through. A story of many, deep losses.
Fiction listed as Non-Fiction.......2006-12-20
I'm sure it's a moving story, but don't be fooled into thinking it is even close to a 100% true historical reality.
Gitta Sereny (author of "Into That Darkness: An Examination of Conscience", "Albert Speer: His Battlr with the Truth" and "The Healing Wound: Experiences and Reflections, Germany, 1938-2001") said the following in the New Statesman of 2 November 1979 regarding the Martin Gray book and others like it:
"It is true that, along with many authentic works, there have been books or films which were only partly true, or even were partly faked. And unfortunately, even reputable historians often fail in their care... By quoting supposed 'eyewitnesses' who are in fact repeating hearsay, (Martin) Gilbert perpetuates errors which -- because they are so easily disproved -- provide Revisionists' opportunities...
"Worse again are the partial or complete fakes such as Jean Francis Steiner's Treblinka or Martin Gray's For Those I Loved. ...
"Gray's For Those I Loved was the work of Max Gallo the ghost-writer... I myself told Gray ... that he had manifestly never been to, nor escaped from, Treblinka. He finally asked, despairingly: 'But does it matter? Wasn't the only thing that Treblinka did happen, that it should be written about, and that some Jews should be shown to have been heroic?'"
This is the best book I've ever read........2006-12-20
Written like a novel, this is the true story of how Martin Gray survived the Holocaust. But this book is about way more than that; it's unlike anything I've ever read before. Martin Gray was just 15 years old when the Nazis invaded his homeland, Poland, in 1939. What he tells us in this book is a very personal story of the hope, courage, and strength it took for him to persevere and survive. I've read the Amazon reviews posted here by several non-believers who accuse Martin Gray of being a fraud, and I find myself disgusted that they would attempt to discredit him this way with no significant evidence to support their claims.
To be honest, I wasn't keen on reading a Holocaust memoir. I assumed the book would be filled with images of brutal and horrific crimes we all know the Nazis committed against their brothers, sisters and children. But I recently heard a radio interview with Martin Gray on NPR, and something about this interview compelled me to order this book and read his story. And what I read was so much more than yet another book about the basest forms of life committing atrocities against humanity. I read an inspiring story about hope, courage and love. My life was altered by reading this book. I wish I had read it twenty years ago so I might have learned earlier the things this book reveals: the true meaning of hope; what integrity and courage look like up close; how, with determination, we humans can accomplish almost anything. That's what this book is about. And I'm a better person for having read it.
Thank you Martin Gray. I, for one, will always remember those you loved.
Thank You Martin Gray.......2006-11-18
I am not Jewish but like many human beings I have suffered and bore witness to suffering, and this is the most honest story I have ever read concerning human suffering and survival. Like most educated American children, I learned of the Holocaust and cried. This Story however taught me more than compassion. It gave me a deep understanding of a period in history through a human Soul. I want to say shame on you MS. King and MR. Davis for attempting to undermine this lesson to humanity with your spiteful reviews. Your words only expose your own ignorance of the positive power this story affords us all. Every Soul on earth should read Martin Gray's Story and walk each day with a tall straight back as his father did until the end. We now have a deeper personal knowledge to never let any of our brother's and Sister's suffer injustice at the hands of other humans again. We are the children of the 21st Century, hear his screams this once, so that we can prevent history from repeating such horrors ever again. Thank you Martin Gray, thank you for baring your Soul so that we may see our own more clearly. Thank you Martin, from the bottom of my heart.

Book Description
Residents of antebellum northwest Louisiana held strong pro-Union sentiments, and the Pierson family of Bienville Parish, Louisiana, were no exception, opposing secession in 1861. Yet once war began, the region contributed its full share of support to the southern army, and four of William H. Pierson's eight sons enlisted. Ranging from the early battles of the Trans-Mississippi to the epic battles of the Army of Northern Virginia, and from the brutal trenches of Vicksburg to provost guard duty in north Louisiana, this extensive collection of Civil War letters, written by three of the Pierson brothers, offers riveting glimpses of almost every variety of experience faced by Confederate soldiers. Prolific letter writers, the Piersons were educated, observant, and well placed to comment not only on the battles and campaigns of their regiments but also on their commanding officers, the effect of political activity on soldier morale, being taken captive, and, most of all, their entire family's understanding of and commitment to the Confederate cause.

3rd Louisiana Infantry, 9th Louisiana Infantry........1997-09-02
The four Pierson sons, intelligent, and well-educated
for their time, originally opposed secession but
served their country whole-heartedly in all theaters
when the War came.
The letters of three sons are contained here,
preserving valuable insights not only of battles
and camp life but also frank opinions of the
behavior of high officers and politicians. The
tenacity of the Piersons, through sickness and
wounds and hunger, in a War they didn't welcome,
is fine testimony to the courage and patriotism
of the Condederate soldier.
