Gorgeous Collection, for the Bookshelf
The Arden's Complete Shakespeare is quite gorgeous and very well-presented. The text is easy to read in two-column format, printed on nice paper and equipped with a ribbon book mark. It contains 38 plays and all of the sonnets, which makes the collection more complete than that of Pelican and many others.

However, it is not quite as satisfying as it could be. In particular, there are no footnotes. In the the Pelican Complete Shakespeare, for example, there are ample footnotes explaining obscure references and defining less-common vocabulary. The footnotes and explanations included in the individual versions of Arden's Shakespeare are second to none. The collected works, therefore, is quite unsatisfying. However, I am not too disappointed; I use these footnotes much less than when I began reading Shakespeare.

The net result is that the Arden collection is a really beautiful and easy to read printing of all of Shakespeare's plays but it lacks a lot of input that one would have if the individual plays were collected. I'm happy with the book, but am also thankful I own Pelican. ... Read more

Punched Drunk
In this critical study of the Liquor Control Board of Ontario, Scott Thompson and Gary Genosko expose the stakes and consequences of the enormous bureaucracy behind the administrative surveillance of alcohol consumption in Ontario. Since its inception in 1927, the LCBO subjected alcohol consumption to its disciplinary gaze and generated knowledge about the drinking population. This book details how the LCBO tracked all alcohol consumption and capitalized on technological advances in order to generate categories and profiles of individuals so they could "control" drinking in the province. While this is a historical project, it also investigates how categorical treatment of populations like First Nations helped to develop and foster stereo-types around addiction that persist to this day.

Contents
Introduction * Temperance, Business and Surveillance at the Birth of the LCBO * Self-Control and the Panoptic LCBO * Accountability: Reconstructing the Fragmented Present * A Kind of Prohibition, Part I: Social Sorting in Ontario * A Kind of Prohibition, Part II: The Application of the LCBO's Interdiction List * Regulation of Gender Performances and the Interdiction List * From Indigenous to Indigent: Legal and Prototypical Classifications of First Nations * The Politics of Alcohol Surveillance ...

Nice book
This book is NOT RELATED AT ALL to the John Lee Hancock's movie, altough Frank Thompson was involved in that film and other books about the movie.
Thanks to Ned Huthmatcher for his review and comments.
This book is about the real history and also has some interesting facts about the Alamo in our culture. I like it, is concise and I recommend it for anyone looking for an good introduction to the Alamo. 128 pages and many color pictures, almost like the type DK books publish, but well formatted for adults.

The Alamo
A really great informative book on every aspect of the battle of the Alamo on what led up to the battle, and what happened after the Alamo was taken and the defeat of Santa Anna at San Jacinto. The good thing about this book is the pictures and the biographys of the main characters inside the Alamo namely David Crockett James Bowie and William Barrett Travis. All in All it is one of my best books on the Alamo and I have a considerable Library that I am now building up on a part of American History which will never diminish as long as I live.

Christmas is coming.
Lavishly illustrated, this is a quality publication. An introduction to the story of the Alamo for the general reader who knows little or nothing about it already, it spreads its net wide to include the cinema; how commerce has used the story and the Alamo Museum. If you are looking for a Christmas or birthday gift then this could well be for you. Recommended.

An illustrated history of the fort
The Alamo is an illustrated history of the fort that became a symbol of courage and sacrifice for freedom. Though the Alamo fell in battle to the Mexican army forces of General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, it ultimately bought time for the Texas Army under Sam Houston to consolidate forces, and two months later "Remember the Alamo!" was the rallying cry for Santa Anna's rout at the Battle of San Jacinto. The Alamo explores the site of Alamo itself, as well as what history has to say about the men and women who lived there, then reflects upon the Alamo as it is immortalized in popular culture to this day. Illustrated in full color throughout with photographs and artworks, and thoroughly researched with the latest known historical detail, The Alamo is a welcome contribution to both private and library American history shelves.
